portunity, and he improves it. What
though weary with the less of sleep and
blood, what though smarting under the
lash and outraged by cruelty, he was
ready to instruct the inquirer 1t was a
magnificent sentence with which he be-
gan, (verse 81, believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy
house" The only sentence preserved to
us of all that he said. a sentence con-
tanning the whole gospel in few words.

the three words ever to be emphasized by
the religious teacher. Il John, v, 1O)

knew nothing of the way. And the man

Jesus Christ saves the believer. An audi

provements and president and state
directors of the Atlantic and North

the complaint as to governor, attorney

straining order he granted at Charles
ton so far as it enjoins enforcement of
the legislative act of February 25th
last which required the governor to sue
for possession Of the road and judge
to appoint a receiver. He makes the
temporary restraining order permanent

railway company of the act Of last Feb
ruary to amend the charter, but the
governor is permitted to appoint the
state proxy. The road is forbidden to
attempt to enforce that part of the act
of last February repeating section 4 of
the charter amendment and that pro-
vision requiring the state proxy's pres
ence necessary to constitute a quorum,
unless at a meeting of all the stock
holders held thereafter the act of last
February be adopted by a majority

railway system in this city are on fire.
The paint shops, carpenter shops store
room and two stores are already In
ashes. The round house, with engines
and the yards with hundreds of cars are
endangered. The whole fire department
is out. The big Oil tanks filled with kero-
sene are expected to explode at any mo-
ment. The loss so far is about $4,000. no
insurance.
Detroit, Mich, October THE Detroit
opera house is a-fire and will probably
be destroyed or so badly damaged that
rebuilding will be necessary. The fire
started in the rear of the opera house or
in c. H. Michaels warehouse, which
closely adjoins it. The flames burst out
at 12:4O a.. m, enveloping all the rear part
of the big building. At the same moment
there were several loud explosions. sup
posedly from inf1ammable goods stored
in the warehouse. Within fifteen
minutes the entire interior of the opera
house was roaring furnace of flame and
the building at LIS a. m, was practically
destroyed. While the fire apparatus was
preparing to throw water the flames
spread to the upper stories of six-story
building facing on Gratiot avenue, occu-
pied by Leonard & Carter's furniture es-
tablishment and Marvin's music house.
The latter building is now ablaze in the
upper stories.

Three Leading Ministers In Negotiations
with Our Government and the Insur-

With Our Government and the Insur-
gents During the Last Cuban War ga
Washington, October 5.-United
States Minister Woodford has been
heard from at last by the state depart
ment A cabegram has been received
from him dated Madrid, TAO last even
ing, addressed to Secretary Sherman,
making the following announcement of
the appointment of such officers of the
new Spanish cabinet as may have to
do with the foreign policy Of the new
government:
New ministry formed; Sagasta
president; Gullon minister Of state;
MOret minister of colonies.
WOODFORD."
The composition of the new cabinet
is the subject of considerable gossip in
administration and diplomatic circles.
1t is felt that the three powers of the
new regime, so far as concerns Cuban
affairs, are Sagasta, Gullon and Moret,
three names often noted in state de-
partment records in connection with
previous negotiations concerning indie
pendence, autonomy and other move
ments at the time of the last long Gu
ban war.
Sagasta was minister of state at the
time our secretary Of state, Hamilton
Fish, sent to the United States minister
at Madrid, Caleb Cushing, the instruc-
tions which have since become famous
as laying down the policy Of the
United States and the name Of Gullon
appears signed to one of the Spanish
answers to Minister Gushing, Mr.. Gull
Ions apparent office being that of an
assistant minister of state.
AS minister of the colonies, it is be-
lieved Senior MOret will take leading
part in the coming Cuban negotiations.
He is well known here, having been
mipister Of state of the colonies and
also Of finance. While Moret was in the
cabinet during the previous Cuban re-
bellion, his business associate. Senor
Azcarrate, came to this country as an
envoy to effect a settlement with the
Cubans by granting them a measure
Of autonomy. The envoy, acting with
the Spanish minister here, Lopez
Robert. sent a commissioner to treat
with the insurgent president. The COM
missioner, Senor Zenea, appears to
have been indiscreet in his negotia-
tions for on his way back he was cap
tpred and shot by the Spanish authori-
ties on the ground Of having carried on
unauthorized negotiations with the in
surgents. Subsequently, through the
influence Of Moret, the widow of Zenea
was paid an indemnity of $50, 900 which
was regarded as showing that the mis-
sion for compromise with the Cubans
ton.
This incident and Moret's recognition
of the Mora claim have made him best
known in this country. The other new
cabinet officers are not known to Off
cials here
