Notes of the Day.

That little professional game Of football
t-tween the Hanna and Foraker tea MS is
still on, and there are lively hopes that
soon We may begin To hear the arms nd
legs snap and the collar tones crack. The
jawbones already are subjected to a sick
ening strain, but do not show any signs OF
WEAKNESS. According 10 those anatomi. al
members, Marcus Aurelius is not as sure of
his plum as little johnny Horner'' was of
his. This statement may not frighter TIE
man OF coal, iron and destiny any more
than it does us. His purchase is so great
that II would lie a work of wOnderfulenergy
an! force tc jolt il loose. Nevertheless, the
Foraker men are claiming, oil the strength
OF TIE fusion plan in Cincinnati, that Mr..
Hanna will not land an easy and possibly
not any Kind Of winner. Park tales of
a Democratic coalition to elect Bushnell
again streak the pale air ON the American
side of the Rhine and I'm Columbus. But
We MAINTAIN our faith in Hanna with
out abatement. These plots and pro-
Jects may make what he wants cost
his "contributory interests a half mil
lion extra, but there is no donht ABOUT
his ability to command the stuff. nor of his
Willingness tc use any amount TO gra 'ify
bot his ambition and his love for his Re
publican enemies in the Buckeye State.
o: course almost anything is possible. A
poor man might 70 ir and break up syn
dicate of nIillionaires, and a sheep might
murder Il butcher, but ordinarily, it is the
other way, and If Fora ker. Bushnell and
Kurtz have invented pan to hat a barrel
the size Of Hanna S, they should lose no
time in taking cut patent and pedid,iug
State and county rights. In that way they
could enrich themselves beyond the Wild
esI dreams Of Klondike prosperity.

The amended demsnds of Germany upon
China. in connection with the murder OF
the two German missionaries, now include
the retention OF Kiao Chou bay as Il naval
station, and the railway monopoly of
Shan Tung province. This latter propo-
sition is good and guileless. The Kaiser
does not want to annex Shan Tung. he
only wants to provide it with railway ia
cilities as a philanthropic enterprise. II
he should lay few rails, the w;.ll-known
belief of the Chinese that such modern
innovations are hoodoos OF the deepest
dye, would lead them to tear up the same.
which nothing short OF large transfer
OF real estate could wipe out-aDd so on.
The Chinese government probably under
stands this, as it is said the Tsung Ii
Yamnn has no idea of conceding the Ger
man demands; but unless Russia should
intcrpose China is helpless. In the Haitian
matter it is declared in Berlin that the
Kaiser has not any idea of exacting any
thing beyond a monetary satisfaction.
The Tageblaat observes, however, that
any interference on the part Of America
viii be resented. There appears TO be a
well established idea in Europe that if the
paramount nation OF the Western hemis-
phere carnot keep It's neightoring cannibal
island in Il condition of good behavior,
or compel beastly. butchering power
like Spain TO conduct its war in Cuba on
civilized principles, it should not object
when European nations are compelled TO
take Western matter into their Ow hands.

aroused. He planned for days how he
could escape the vigilance OF the guards.
Yesterday he saw his chance.
Senor de LONE had gone to the State
Department, ana Punch found his way
out OF the Spanish portals to the street.
where he breathed the air of freetloni.

are urging him to change his attitude with

STANDING ROOM ONLY
For Dear People Who Want to Hear that
MadIsy- Melcher Case.

Lewiston, Maine, Oct. 1.-The cross
examination of Mr.. A. S. Melcher,
plaintiff in the breach of promise suit
on trial at the supreme court in Au-
burn, was continued this forenoon, oc-
cupying all the forenoon. Its princi-
pay element was the introduction of
love letters from Melcher to Mrs. Had
ley. the defendant, which correspon-
dence was Immediately after the death
of the plaintiffs wife.
The line of inquiry by counsel for the
defence seemed to indicate that the
defence claimed that quarrels were had
between plaintiff and defendant and
the separation, or throwing up of the
matrimonial contract, if such a con-
tract existed. There is great local in
terest in the trial and the court room
is packed to Standing room only"
The plaintiffs testimony in the
Melcher Hadley suit was all in, Friday
afternoon, and plaintiff rested.
The defense opened with a plea by
John A. Morrill,, Esq. The first wit
ness called was Mrs. jeremiah Ding
ley, the mother of defendant. Immense
crowd still fingers in the court house
listening patiently for every morsel of
the evidence as it is given.

CABINET CONSIDERS.
But Does Nothing Definite and Has Not Heard
from Woodford.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The cabinet
meeting, today, was devoted almost en-
tirely to the consideration of the Span
ish situation and other foreign affairs.
1t was one of the longest meetings held
since the advent Of the present admin
istration, lasting over two and a half
hours. The main subject Of considera-
ton was the present cabinet crisis in
Spain and it's effect upon our relations
with the Madrid government and our
attitude toward Cuba.
1t was learned that no explanation
had been made by General Woodford
OF the crisis in the Spanish cabinet, and
1t was stated that in all probability
there was no explanation to be mad !:
beyond that given in the press dis :
patches.
1t can be stated that no sort of reply
had been received to Gen. Woodford's
representations in behalf of this gov
eminent and it is understood that the
administration feels that on account of
the confused condition Of affairs, and
the public sentiment in Spain a long
time may be allowed to elapse before
any answer is given, though the Presi-
dent will endeavor to secure as early a
response as is possible under the cir
cumstances.

NEEDS LOOKING AFTER.
Our Nicarasuan Canal Route Involved in
Recent Concessions by Nicaragua.

Washington, Sept 30.-It is stated by
persons familiar with Nicaraguan
canal affairs that either the United
States or the Nicaraguan Canal Co
will institute an inquiry concerning the
recent grant by Nicaragua to the Atlas
Steamship Co., British concern, of
exclusive rights of navigation for the
next so years of the San Juan river. and
Lake Nicaragua. These two water
ways are said to form two of the links
of what will ultimately be the Nicara-
qua canal.
The state department recently re-
ceived report from Consul OHara in
Nicaragua, giving brief details of the
concession granted to the British com.
pany, and saying that it embraced
various exclusive privileges on the Sill
con lagoon. the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. Since then addition
al information has become available as
to the plans of the Atlas Co. The Sill
con lagoon is said to be off the route of
the canal and there appears to be no
reason why this should not pass into
the exclusive control of a British COM
pany.
The excavations beginning at Grey
town and running thence west. unite
with the San Juan river which in turn
leads to Lake Nicaragua after the arti-
fetal cut is continued to the Pacific.
Under these circumstances it is said
that the exclusive privileges of naviga-
ton in these two water ways, for the
next 80 years would in effect limit the
navigation of the Nicaraguan canal
