HE was never one to profit by expe-

STRIKES A FROST
Clever Scheme of the AUtOnO-
mists In Cuba
To Dispose of Valuable Fran
ehises Before Evacuation
STOPPED BY M'KINLEY
General Wade is Empowered to
Take ANY Steps
Necessary to Put an End to the
Whole Proceedings.

Washington, Dec. 14-From informa-
ton received here it appears that the
autonOmist government of Cuba estaD-
lished about one year ago, IS making
a strenuous effort to dispose ola number
of very valuable franchises ana con-
cessiOns before the advent or the mill
tary government of the United States.
These franchises and concessions IN
clude the right to construct and operate
the central railroad line Of the island
including eleven branches and also
net work Of electric tramways for Ha~
Vana.
The authorities first secured an agree
ment with General Wade at Havana
by which Spanish sovereignty over the
island was to cease and formal occupa-
ton by the army of the United states
begin on January /, 1899. Advertise
ments were subsequently prepared ana
inserted in a Havana newspaper ask
ing for bids for these concess1ons anu
franchises, the same to be opened ana
presumably the award made on Decem-
Der % Of the present year, two Gays
before the government is formally turn
ed over to the United States. The
president however, has seen fit to put
a quietus on the enterprise of the Span
iards, and has issued instructions to
General Wade, the chairman of our
evacuation commission at Havana, i'm
meoiately to inform the officials Of the
Spanish autonomist government that
the United States strongly disapproVeS
of the proposed disposition OF the con-
cessions and franchises described and
to ask that all negotiations for the same
be discontinued.
1t seems probable that this hint will
be sufficient but in case it is not General
Wade'S instructions are sufficient to
meet every contingency. He is ordered
to put a stop to these proceedings with
out any limitations on his authority. If
necessary there is no doubt that the
principals in the scheme will be prompt
ly arrested and imprisoned. According
to the terms of the advertisement in
the case of the central railway, the con-
der it, 1.-The government" it is stipu-
lated, will aid the concessionaire by
guaranteeing an annual interest of 4
per cent on the capital invested in the
lines mentioned, besides all advantages
granted to railway companies under the
laws of 1877 and 1880"
The roads are also granted exeLnp-
ton from import duties on material
necessary for the construction and OPP
Grafton Of the lines" and "alsO free ces-
sion of such lands belonging to the state,
or to towns, as may be necessary to the
construction and operation of the lines"
Bidders were required to deposit be-
fore bidding the sum of 200, 600 pesos in
gold in the Spanish bank in Cuba and a,
further sum of 100000 pesos an gold as
a guaranty.
1.-THE treasury of the island of Cuba"
it is declared, Twill pay in gold to the
concessiOnaire, every three months, the
amounts due on the sections of line In
operation at the rate of interest guar
anteed."

KANSAS NEWS.
Electric Road to Connect LeaV-
enWOrth and Kansas City.
Will Be Started Out of the
Former City
ABOUT FEBRUARY 1ST
Fifty Years Franchise Granted
the Promoters.
Built Along the X. C. Road at
aCOst of 100000.

Leavenworth, Dec. 14.-By the first of
July, 1899, it is expected that an cleo
trio railroad will connect the cities of
LeavenwC-th and Kansas City and the
citizens of either place will be able to
leave Delaware street here at any hour
of the day and in hour and twenty min
utes later alight from the car at Main
street, Kansas City.
The franchise to build such a road
through this county was presented to
the county commissioners yesterday af-
ternOOn by Amos A. Fem and granted.
By the terms of the franchise it is
contracted to begin work on the line
before April 1, 1899, and to have 1t com
pleted not later than January 1, 1900.
The road will be built along the
1eavenWorth and Kansas City road the
whole distance, beginning at the end
of the w. f. Winner road at Lansing,
which was partially built several years
ago, but was not completed, and will
extend through this county to Wyan-
dOtte and thence along the same road
to Chelsea, park, Kansas City, Kansas,
where it will connect with the Metro
pOlitan street car system Of the two
cities.
E. Jameson, speaking of the proposed
line, said yesterday, that everything
had been about completed for the be-
ginning of the work on the line and
that it would begin in two months.
He said that it would be completed
by July 1, 1899, and that cars would be
running.
The object of the road will be to car
ry both passenger and freight, partic-
ularly the latter for the farmers living
along the route. For this class of it's
patrons it is proposed to furnish a
quick means of transportation to the
markets and for the accommodation of
freight, there will be small cars at
tached to the passenger coaches
Mr.. Jameson said yesterday that the
franchise to build the road through
Wyandotte county had already been Sc
cured, as well as the right to use the
Winner right Of way and track bed,
which has been constructed from the
soldiers home to Lansing and all other
prelimi nary arrangements looking to-
ward building the line.
The new electric road will be
built through the towns of Piper and
Wallula, and it is proposed to have
the plant, which is to furnish the cleo
trio power located at Wallula.
The total cost of the proposed road
It is believed will be about $500, 900, pow
er house, equipment and all.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in its chronic form, dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that it
is so common many people neglect TAX
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trif1ing stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurabl dis
eases. No person with vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary. langutd,
faded out women owe their condition to
imperfect Indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims TO
be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as
score of other troubles, when in fact, as
DR.. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover
this remedy is not a patent medicine.
but it is scientific combination of pure
pepsin Gree from animal matter), veg
etable essences, fruit salts and blsmuth.

ahead of any remedy yet discovered.

is necessary, simply eat all the whole

BURNED AKITTEN ALIVE.
Mrs. Fusser Loved It But in Fit of
Temper Destroyed It.

New York, Dec. 14-In the prison in
Fifty-fourth street Mrs. Elizabeth Fus-
ser is awaiting trial accused Of in
humanity burning a live kitten in a cook
stove. Hermann Fusser, her husband,
keeps a Raines law hotel at No. 1877
West Thirty-seventh street. When he
is away Mrs. Fusser tends bar for him.
Albert Buschel, of No. 351 Seventh
avenue, told the story to Magistrate
Mott yesterday:
with several friends I was drinking
beer in FusSer's bar room Monday after
noon. Mrs. Fusser was busy at the large
range in the rear of the basement. Fus-
ser was behind the bar. Ten days ago
a homeless kitten wandered into the
place. Mrs. Fusser took it under her
protection. have seen her warm milk
for it It grew so weak that it could
hardly crawl along the floor. Mrs
Fusser fond1ed the kitten and talked to
it for an hour at a time.

afternoon. Several times the kitten
dragged itself in her path, and she
threatened to put it in the stove il it

ATCHISON'S ROUNDHOUSE.
Missouri Pacific Officials Decide on
Central Branch improvements.

Atchison, Dec. Alt IS now certain
that Atchison is about to receive addi-
tional favors at the hands of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. A special train, carrying
w. B. Doddridge, general manager; H.
G. Clark, general superintendent, and
E. Fisher, chief engineer of the depart
ment of bridges and buildings, arrived
in Atchison yesterday afternoon, COM
ing over the Central branch from Goffs
The train arrived here at p. M, and
the officials spent a greater part of the
afternoon at the Central branch shops
AS a result of the visit of the officials,
Assistant Engineer w. H. Bush this
morning made surveys at the shops pre-
paratory to rebuilding the round house,
constructing new tracks, and rearrang-
ing the present tracks so that engines
can enter the round house both from
the east and west. At the present time
the engines can enter only from the
east. The round house contains thirteen
stalls, and although more are needed,
the present improvements do not con-
template any additional stalls, but the
round house will be enlarged by extend
ing the outer wall back ten or twelve
feet. An entirely new wall will have
to be built.

OBJECTION no a NAME.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch editor
has been looking over the platform on
which the mayor of HaverhiIl, Mass,
was elected, and has discovered that the
ideas therein contained are not Social
ism at all. but just plain common
sense business propositions His
comments follow:
The town Of Haverhi1l. Mass. has a
mayor who proposes to municipalfZe
many of the public works of the city
according to the ideas of Mr.. S. NJ.
Jones, mayor of Toledo.
He was elected as a Socialist, the
platform demanding the acquisition by
the municipality Of public utilities, the
abolition Of the contract system, the
Initiative, referendum and several other
applications of sO-caIled Socialistic
ideas.
But many of these seem like plain
common sense. The municipalization of
street railways, gas works and other
similar utilities is advocated by many
sensible persons who know nothing Of
Socialism and care less. 1t is a mere
question of public expediency, a ''busi-
ness proposition" A man needs no
elaborate theory to see that franchise
grabbers are at the bottom of municipal
corruption; and when he sees that, he
will welcome municipal ownership. tax
alton or any other expedient which
promises to cleanse politics and save the
municipal wealth from plunderers.
But Socialism is a different matter
No real good can come of mixing a
practical benefit with a mere theory I'M
ported from the limbo Of Missionaries.
