IN THE MIDDLE OF A Elk.

''THE mountain labored and brought
forth a mouse" That is my opinion Of
the message sent by the president 10
congress Monday. In the words Of
the Sage Of Buzzard's Bay, our foreign
policy has degenerated to a state Of
inocuous desuetude. The Spainisrds
are licensed to pluck the eagle birds tail
feathers 10 their hearts content. In
one place does the president exclaim
"Shool" and that's where he says the
war in Cuba must stop. Only once does
he get his back up and for what pur-
poser He does not favor granting
Cubsns belligerent rights; he does not
favor recognition Of their independence;
he does not favor annexation. He says
Spain is not capable of governing Cuba
What, then, does the president hope to
gain by compelling peace at this time?
1t looks as though the only thing he has
in mind is the creation Of an anarchists
paradise on the island OF Cuba Mr..
Mckinley has been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting There is some
thing pathetic about his incapacity. He
has made his high Office commonplace.
He has been made "Merry Andrew" by
diplomats and has only been successful
in placing himself in the middle OF bad
fix. ED GooDNIGHT

THERE is good deal OF talk as to the
right Of the United States to interfere
between Spain and and another country.
While the people generally feel that we
ought to take decisive meaures to
relieve the Cubans, they don't seem to
understand just why. The only ques-
ton about it is one of humanity. The
Cubans have suffered untold hardships
at the hands of Spain and she is entitled
to no respect from a civilized country.

The Court OF CLAIMS has ordered tax
levy OF twenty cents on each one humid
red dollars worth of property in the
county for the improvement of the pub
lie roads This will yield several thous-
and dollars, which properly expended
will put our roads in a much better con-
dition. For ten years or more the News
has insisted that something should be
done 10 improve the condition of the
public roads in the county All the
while il seemed like a waste OF time,
because practically nothing has been
done to that end At each meeting of
the court we have urged that a tax
should be levied for that purpose, but
the members declined TO act favorably.
At last they have realized that the only
way TO improve the roads is to work
them by taxation. The system is being
adopted in all the states and II is the
only one which proves successful. Our
only surprise is that ii has not been
done here long sgo. Bvt 1t is better late
than never and good thing is always
In order. The action OF the court is TO
be commended and erstwhile we hope
10 see the money that Is to be raised for
this purpose judiciously expended and
the county roads improved.

1T is more than probable that a good
many people in the county will fault the
the Court OF Claims for levying a road
tax. But this is day and time when
we cannot get along without good roads.
None should be 80 narrow therefore as
to heap undue criticism upon the men,
bers of the court True enough we have
a good many taxes to pay, one way and
another, but a small tax for road pur-
poses will hurt no one. In Indiana and
Illinois the roads are worked by taxation
and in those states their public roads
are OF the very best. Under the tax just
imposed the property holders in the
towns are taxed equally with those liv-
ing in the country and while it would
appear that they get no direct benefit
from it, it will benefit them in the end.

EUROPE'S BIT Err ANGER
Spain Protests on Legal and
Moral Grounds But Sub
mits to Force.
IBy cable to The Assoeiatad Press ]

PARIS, Nov. 28. 9S.3rhe two Peace
Commissions were in separate session all
this morning. The Joint Commission met
promptly two o'clock this afternoon.
and the Spanish Commissionoeors an
nounced that being authorized BY their
Government to reply that the American
propositions are inadm[ssabie on legal
principles, and are not a proper compro-
mise on legal priciples, on the Spanish
part all diplomatic resources are ex-
hausted, and the Spanish Commission IS
now asked to accept or reject the pro-
pcsitionos. Spain, inspired by reasons OF
patriotism and humanity. and TO avoid
the horrors of war, resigns herself to the
power of the victor. She accepts the
offered conditions in order to conclude a
treaty of peace.
The American demands included the ac-
QUESTION of the whole of the Philippine
and suIu groups for s2o.o0o,000, and it is
also understood the United States Will
purchase the Caroline group.
The question OF the debt of Cuba was
left unsettled The next meeting Will
take place Wednesday.
There is no denying the fact that
the whole European Continent will bit
terly resent American acquisition of the
Philippines This sentiment is not con-
fined to diplomats, but especially here in
Paris it is the opinion constantly heard
in the highest French society. 1t is
known that a high official of the French
Foreign Office said yesterday
1.-The appearance of the Americans in
Eastern waters is a disturbing factor to
the whole of Europe Americans, as is
well known, lack diplomatic manners and
will surely bring constant trouble TO all
of uz''
AS to the general sentiment, Mr.. William
T. Stead, who has just returned here from
his tour of France, Belgium, Germany.
Russia, Austria. Turkey and Italy, and
who has seen the highest politicians in
each country and in some cases their
rulers, said today to a correspondent Of
the Associated Press
The immense majority of Europeans
are of course absolutely ignorant of what
has happened Intent upon their daily
toll, they neither know nor care what
occurs in the other hemisphere But
Europeans who read the newspapers are
able to form what may be called public
opinion in the Old World. They are prac-
tically unanimous in the matter Outside
of England 1 have not met single aon-
American who was not opposed to the ex-
pansion of America. Nor. through ny
whole tour of Europe have l met Euro
pean who did not receive the prOtestationS
of the genuine sincerity with which the
American people entered on the war with
more or less n1ocking incredulity'

tility of all was found at the Vatican.

Second Trial of Suit for Damages
Tndnu

AUAsAys
The second trial Of suit of Joseph
Ulkowski against Thomas Hill to recover
10000 for injuries to his son, is in pro-
the previous trial the jury awarded the
plaintiff $4,000, but the verdict was set
aside by the Supreme Court and a new
trial ordered
The accident occurred on May 20, 1894,
when the child, in whose behalf the suit
is brought, was only four years old lie
is now seven Hill is the foundryman on
Railroad avenue. near Henderson street,
who ran the Foundry Mission some years
ago. He owns property at Nos. 159, 161
and 1863 Steuben street
Three years ago he decided to tear down
one Of the houses, and in order TO save
expense he had a big rope tied around
the upper story of the building, which
was almost ready to fall anyway, and
he and some of his men pulled the build
ing down. Part of it fell into the rear
yard of No. 40 Railroad avenue, where
Ulkowski and his family lived and de-
molished clothes pole The pole fell
on the Ulkowski child, inflicting injuries
from which 1t has not recovered. The
chiId's hands are twisted and otherwise
deformed. and there Is no probability that
they will ever return to their normal
condition.
William Fl. Speer, Jr., appears for the
plaintiff, and Mr. william H. Corbin for
the defendant. A motion for a non-suit
made by Mr.. Corbin was denied by Judge
Nevius The defence is that proper care
was used in tearing down the house, ana an
that the defendant was not responsible
for the accident.

LOST IN THE BLIZZARD.
Aged CoIored Couple Found
Nearly Frozen, Wander
ing in the Snow.

While the blizzard was at lis height,
Saturday evening, with the wind seeming
ly swirling in every direction at once, Pill
ing great drifts of snow over even the
most frequented thoroughfares and com
fusng all pedestrians, an aged s5arlzey
couple was observed trudging along Grand
street. Both were loaded down with
bundles and pals and small packages.
The woman, who was cripple, hopbled
along in a manner to excite pity. She ap-
peared to be half frozen and both were
enwrapped in mantle of snow. They
tried to hail everybody they met. But
everybody was in a hurry. II one stopped
a moment to listen it seemed the old cou-
pie could not make themselves understood
and the hailed one hurriedly pushed on
Their teeth ratified like castinets. A good
Samaritan however, finally appeared
upon the scene in the shape of an an
known man with heavy brown beard alG
ulster with collar turned well up about
the ears The old woman especially ex-
cited his sympathy. He insisted on their
entering a saloon where he helped the old
lady to divest herself of her mantle of
snow and then dosed both with brandy.
In little while they were
able to tell their story. the
man was Lewis Rose, fifty-eight
years old, of No. 442 West Thirty-second
street. New York, and his wife, Rose,
forty years old. Rose has been en-
ployed in the Washington Market for the
past thirty-eight years. Last week he
received an invitation to spend Sunday
with his brother-in-law, George Weston,
a well known banjo player, who lives in
Greenville. Neither he nor his wife knew
the street number of the house, in fact
were not sure of the name of the street,
but Mrs Rose was sure she could find it,
if she could only find the railroad bridge
near the Bayonne City Line. They de-
cided to make their visit a memorable
one. The pals and packages contained
fish. oysters, dressed poultry, sweet po-
tatoes, and other choice specimens of
the meat and vegetable departments of
the famous New York markets. Imagi-
nary glimpses of the big feast they were
to enjoy on the morrow in Westons
humble but cosey home, together with
the great surprise they had in store for
Mrs. Roses brother buoyed the old
couple up in the early part of the strug-
gle to reach Westonss home. But they
failed to find the house they were look
ing for and hating to abandon that for
which they had been looking forward
with pIeasurable anticipations almost
week, they continued the search until
both became exhausted and well-nigh
frozen.
The Good Samaritan took thes old
old couple to the Gregory street station
house, where they were given nights
lodging. In the morning they decided to
return to New York They no doubt
had a great dinner but George Weston
and his banjo music were missing.
