THE OUTLOOK.

The Spanish government still be-
Heves or processes to believe that it will
be able to restore peace to Cuba. Ev-
cry method adopted for that purpose up
to this time has failed completely, ex-
cept the one for which they need more
time. That one is the systematic
starving to death of the Cubans.
If Spain be allowed sufficient time she
may restore peace in this manner but
IN no other.
The insurgents have declared over
and over that they will listen to no pro-
posaI for peace that does not carry with
it absolute independence. Does any
one doubt that they mean it and
will stand by it to the end? On this
basis there is no room for discussion.
If Spain is sincere in her protestation
of belief in her ability to restore peace
she will act at once in the only way
that it can be accomplished and that is
by Withdrawing her troops.
If her representatives have indicated
to Washington that it is her intention
to do so then it is proper that reas-
enable time be allowed her in which to
carry out this plan.
To the uninitiated it must appear that
Spain is trying to secure delay until
her fleet of torpedo boats shall have
time to reach Cuban waters. Consid-
er1ng the treacherOus character accord
cd the Spanish nation by history,
there will be no cause for surprise if
after the torpedo fleet has reached its
destination the Madrid government
should snap its fingers at the United
States and invite her to help herself, all
IN a diplomatic way, of course.
On the other hand if Sagasta is en-
deavoring to secure delay for the pur-
pose of softening the blow which the
freedom of Cuba will deal to national
pride, the time allowed him will be lit
tie regretted

MEXICO WANTS INDIANS.
Inducements offered the Cherokees to
Leave the United States.

Muscogee. I. T., March 3O.-James M
Title of Vinita, I. T, a representative of
the Cherokee people, has just returned
from Mexico, here he has been in the in
terest of the Cherokee Indians, who are
thinking of emigrating to that country,
and since Mr.. Titles return the scheme
has been daily growing in favor with the
Indians.
Mr.. Title relates his visit to the gov
eminent and railroad officials of Mexico
in the following language:
while in the City of Mexico I called
upon the president the minister of finance
one or two members of the supreme court
and many other gentlemen of the republic
who were ready and willing to assist me in
securing lands and concessions in behalf
way to come to their country. When I
sent my letter to the president asking for
just five minutes time to lay before him
the distressed condition of our people, he
received me Immediately and kept me an
hour and ten minutes, during which time
he assured me of his friendship toward
US, and said we were of his blood. he be-
ing Indian himself, and said if we
would come to his country we should be
protected, and he would be father and
friend, and that we should have land and
of duty with all of our stock, wagons,
machinery and goods of every descrip-
ton, and that we should be exempt from
taxation for at least fifteen years: should
be protected by the constitution and laws
of his country should we be good and law
abiding citizens.
Il then went to the railroad officials of

country. They said they would knock

vASSAR GIRLS PLEASED.
The Rule Requiring Them to Retire
at 10 P. NJ. is Done Away With.

Poughkeepsie, March 3O.-When the
Vassar students left to spend the Eas-
ter holidays at home, they were cheer
ed by an announcement made by the
faculty that the experiment of doing
away with the 10 o'clock retiring rule
would be tried, to date from this Eas-
ter and to continue until next Easter,
reserving the right, however to restore
the rule at any time it appears that the
experiment is a manifest failure, or If
the students abuse the privilege.
The agitation to abolish the 10 o'clock
rule began at Vassar several weeks ago
The question was discussed at a
meeting of the students association and
was favored by nearly all the students
except the seniors, who are opposed to
innovations of any kind.
The greatest objection against the
rule requiring students at Vassar to ex-
tingUish the lights in their rooms at 10
O'Clock at night was that it made a de-
Hnquent of every student who, through
overwork or i'll health, was obliged to
study later than that hour.

from Miss Beveridge.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Miss Francis Yale made a pro-

the Manhattan theater in New York
city last November, and it will be seen
at the hands of the same cast in this

Etienne GirardOt, the original Char

Michael Morton, belongs to a family of
successful writer's, being a brother of
Miss Martha Morton, the brilliant au-
thor of My Wife's Father and "A
Fool of Fortune" in which William H.
Crane has made big hits. Mr.. Morton
is original and demonstrates it by the
plot of his new play. The fact that Gil
rardot is at the head of the company in
sures an excellent comedy performance.

TO PURCHASE THE R. r.
Plan for the Buying of Michigan Cen
trail by the State is Being
Considered.

Lansing, Mich, March 30.-In view
of the crusade against the Michigan
Central railroad by Governor Pingree
and members of the legislature who as
sert that it is making enormous earn

taxation, a bill may be introduced in
the legislature this week providing for
its purchase by the state and the crea-
ton of a commission, of which the gov
ernor shall be a member, to appraise
the value of the property.
Notwithstanding the cold water
thrown on the governors bill for the

be made to pass the measure this
week.

Mr.. E. J. Fair of Sterling, Kan,
Proposes to Build One
At the Corner of Third and
Jackson Streets.
HE WILL INVESTIGATE
And if He Finds That the City
Will Support One
He Will Erect a Building 100
by 1875 Feet.

Mr.. E. J. Fair, a wealthy lumber mer-
chant of Sterling, Kan, offers to build
a market house for Topeka if the proper
inducements are given him by the city.
The need of a market house here has
been discussed at considerable length,
and many favor such a venture. The
question of location has not entered in
to the discussion to any great extent as
yet, but Mr.. Fairs offer designates a To-
cation.
Mr. Fair owns lots at the northeast
corner of Third and Jackson streets. On
this ground he. proposes building the
market house. The size Of building
which he offers to erect is 100 by 125
feet. This could be increased, if need
be, to $50 feet in length He offers to
build the structure, which will be a sub
stantial frame building and construct
ed especially for the use of a market,
for the small return of a, fair invest
ment on the money invested. In other
words, he wishes a guarantee made
that the building will be rented for
a period of at least five years. Mr.. Fair
asks no bonus for the erection of the
building, but simply that he may re-
ceiVe a fair return on the investment
Being the owner of several lumber
yards near Sterling and also associated
in other business ventures, he will be
able to place the market house on his
lots at moderate cost and at the same
time to fulfil all the requirements of
modern building.
This seems to be an opportunity of
getting a market house, which many
have contended Topeka needs, if proper
encourag cement is given. The attention
of the Commercial club has been called
to Mr. Fairs offer, and at the next
meeting of the club the matter will be
brought up. 1t is understood that the
club is pretty generally in favor of a
market house If this is the case the
offer will probably be received with IA
Vor, and the merchants who would be
interested in the house directly, VIII
take advantage of the opportunity or
getting a fine large building for their
use at a moderate rate.
What rent Mr. Fair would deem rea-
sonable for the stalls in the market
house, should he construct it, is not
known, and that will be ascertained
when the Commercial club takes up the
offer.
1t is doubtful if the question of loca-
ton will cut much figure. Third ana
jackson streets Is thought by many to
be an excellent location for it, while
there are those who think it should be
farther up town.
There has been some doubt whether
market houses will pay. A very good
one is run in Kansas City. In some CIT
les they are a great success; in others
thew seem to languish. 1t largely de-
Dends on good business management
