on learning from the American minister
there that a concession to build the
HankoW-Canton railroad had been
granted to an American syndicate re-
fused to support the application Of the
Eastern syndicate for the con-

April, the China department of the for

syndicate to apply for it which was
done on October 10.

AT Santiago on the morning of
the 7th, the American fleet engaged
the Spanish batteries defending the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago
and after three hours lombard
ment silenced nearly all the forts,
destroyed several earthworks and
rendered the tw principal fortifica-
tions useless. A large force of Ameri-
can troops landed near Santiago
during the bombardment. The
Spanish loss of officers and men
was great.
This mornings dispatches report
the Spanish cruiser Mercedes"
sunk by our fleet, with her COM
mander and "a men. Admiral
Sampson says there were no casu-
alties among his forces but the
Spaniards suffered greatly. 10000
American troops have been sent to
Santiago and another army will
attack Poto Rico. The move against
Havana is to be left to the last.

True rleasure of Mans

Sam Jones is still crawling up
the ladder Of eloquence. Here is
his lateet, and it is among his best
efforts;
"The place to take the true meas
ure of man is not in the market
place, or the amen corner, nor in
the field or forum, but at his own
Preside. There he lays aside his
mask and you may know whether
he is an imp or an angel, king or
cur, hero or humbug. care not
what the world says of him, whether
it crowns him with glory or pelts
him with bad eggs. | care not a
copper what his religion may be.
If his babies dread his homecoming
and his better-half swallows her
heart every time she has to ask him
for five dollar bill, he is a fraud of
the first water, even though he
prays night and morning until he is
black in the face and shouts halle
lujah until lie shakes the eternal
hills. But if the children run TO
the front gate to meet him, and
loves own sunshine Eliminates the
face of his wife when she hears his
footsteps, you may take it for
granted that he is true gold-his
home is heaven, and the humbug
never gets that near the throne OF
God. He may be an atheist or a
red flag anarchist, and Mormon
and a mugwump. he may buy
votes and bet ON the election; he
may deal from the bottom and
drink beer until he can't tell cir
cular saw from a silver dollar, and
still he is infinitely better than the
man who is all suavity but who
makes his home a hell-who vents
on the head of his helpless wife and
children the Immature he would
like to infiict on his fellow man, but
dares not. | can forgive much in
lhat fellow mortal who would rather
have the hate of the world than the
contempt of his wife; who would
rather call anger to the eye of a

giving Mr.. Hanley a majority OF
IA votes. The vote on special tax
stood: Yes, 101; No, 80, and one
ballot for Hanley in the tax ballot

consist of A. B. Clark, who serves
until June, 1899; Henry Dorsey
until June, 1900, and VIM. Hanley,
whose term will not expire until
