WHOLE SHOWER OF METFORS
RATHER FAINT DISPLAY WIT
MESSED BY ASTRONOMERS.
Good Results Secured at the Princeton
observatory-one Hundred Met
eors Were Seen.

New York, Nov 15.-Astronomers' OBJ
servations of the meteor shower in the
early hours of today were not wholly
satisfactory. President Reese of Co
lumbia university said:
Il saw only two meteors. They came
from the direction of Ursa Major, and
not from Leo, as had been expected.
There should be a magnificent display
at the disintegration of Beilas comet,
and this should occur either tonight or
tomorrow night"
Better results were secured at Prince
ton. Professor Young of that institu-
ton said: Between the hours OF a.
M and 3 a. m. we saw about one hun
that is, they belonged to the meteoric
swarm that gave the shower. Perhaps
one dozen were as bright as first mag
nitude stars. The rest We're faint, and
left trails which continued from one
to ten seconds.
'"The maximum of the shower was at
1885 O'Clock, at which time there were
about two or three meteors per minute
for about twenty minutes.
1.-THE radiant point seemed to be in
the sickle of Leo, a little further south
and west than in 1867. 1t was a distinct
meteoric shower, but a very faint one,
and augurs well for good display in
1892"
San Jose, Nov. 15.-The meteoric dis
play of Leonides, occurring but thrice
in a century, was observed at the Lick
observatory on the 18th and the two

/ Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 15.-Colonel w. j.
Bryan tonight gave to the Associated
Press the following interview relative
to the late election:
while I do not understand that
service in the volunteer army prevents
! a soldier from expressing opinions upon
political questions. 1 declined to take
part in the late campaign, lest I should
| be accused by partisan opponents or
attempting to embarrass the admins
tration. Now that the election is over,
]. shall exercise a citizens privilege or
discussing the returns.
| COMPARED with the election Of 1896,
! the Republicans have gained IN some
| places and lost in others. 1t was not
I q. sweeping Republican victory. On
| the whole, the result is not surprising,
when it is remembered the admins
tration is just concluding a successful
war.
While a majority Of the soldiers
| are probably anti-Republican, the man
| agement of the war has been entirely
/ in Republican hands. and the strongest
argument used during the campaign
was that q Republican defeat would
discredit the president in the eyes OF
foreign nations while his commission
ers were engaged in making a treaty.
TT was not a trial upon the issues
before the people, but successful plea
for the continuance Of the case. The
people have not accepted the gold
standard: they have not fallen in love
with the plan to give the banks a mo-
nopoly of the issue of paper money;
they have not decided to retire the
greenbacl1s; they have not surrendered
to the trusts.
These questions We're forced into the
background by the declaration of war,
but they must be faced again as soon
as peace is restored. The Chicago plat
form presents for public consideration
certain vital, economic questions That
platform has not been abandoned by
those who endorsed it in 1896. 1t will
be reaffirrned in 1900, because it gives
expression to the hopes and aspirations
of a large majority of the party.
When the Democrats, POpulists and
silver Republicans favored Cuban in
dependence, they understood that war
would give a temporary advantage to
the party in power, but they We're WIKI
ing to risk defeat in order to aid the
people fighting TO be free.
Neither can the election be regarded
as an endorsement of any definite for
eign policy. Until a treaty of peace has
been entered into and the terms made
known, the people cannot pass judg-
ment upon it. Whether the war will
raise any question Of sufficient fmpor-
tance to turn public attention away
from domestic problems, remains to be
SEEN"
In regard to the Nebraska. election, he
said: "A light vote was cast in Ne
braska, but the fusionists have elected
the entire state ticket and carried the
same congressional districts that they
carried in 1896. If Senator Allen is de-
feated for reelection, it will be be-
cause senators are elected by legis-
lators, instead Of by the people If a.
Republican senator is chosen by the
next legislature, he will go to Washing
ton to represent a minority of the peO-
pie of the state and to thwart the will
of the majority"

OUTRAGE B! AMERICAN TROOPS
POLICEMAN SHOT BY coLoRE1
SOLDIERS IN CUBA.
Immune Regiments Are Demoralized,
and Officers Have No Control Over
the Men-Gen. Wood Investigates.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 15.-An incident
occurred last night at San Luis, about %
miles north of Santiago, which caused a
great deal of i'll feeling among the Cubans
and considerable annoyance among the
United States military officials here.
All the colored regiments are encamped
In the neighborhood OF San Luis. They
were sent there virtually to get them out
OF the way, because of the difficulty ex-
perienced in managing them. The colored
officers seem to have little or no control
over their men, and officers and priVateS
are often seen drinking together, with
arms around each others neck, and be-
having in other ways not calculated to
inspire respect for the American troops
among the Cubans.
1t was not expected that the colored
soldiers could do much harm in the San
Luis district. which was chosen on that
principle. The trouble began last evening
in an attempt to arrest two soldiers for
abusing a Cuban workman and stealing
his hog. The outrage was committed on
the NormaS sugar plantation. Lieutenant
Jose Ferrora, chief of General Wood S
gendarmerie in that section, a SDaniard,
but a Cuban symDathizer. and a man
whom General Wood knew to be able and
courageous, attempted to make the ar
rests.
The soldiers, who belonged to the Ninth
immunes, escaped. Soon after thirty coll
ored men. wearing the uniform of the
United States army, attacked the house

After an unsatisfactory ATTEMPT to get
at the facts of the case over the wires,
General Wood adjourned his inquiry until
this morning. when he left on a special
train for San Luis. At o'clock he re-
turned, reporting that after a long in
Yestgation he had come to the conclusion
that all the colored regiments We're more
or less mixed up in the ARRAY. He has
offered $1,000 reward for the names of the

GREAT MASONIC EVENT.
Centennial of George Washin gton's
Death to Be Observed.

Washington, Nov. ia committee of
prominent Masons, including Senator
Daniel of Virginia, and Assistant Sec
rotary Allen of the navy department
called at the White House and invited
the president to take part in the cere-
monies which will mark the centennial
of the death of George Washington.
The address presented to the presi-
dent recites that the grand lodge of
Masons of Virginia, at the request of
the grand lodge of the state of Colo
RADIO, have determined to mark the cen
tennial of the death of President Wash
ington by suitable Masonic ceremonies
at Mount Vernon on Dec ID, 1899. In
these services and ceremonies the
grand lodge of Virginia will have the
cooperation Of the grand lodges of the
District of Columbia, and probably of
all the grand lodges in the United
States and most of those in foreign
lands. The observances at Mount YER
non will consist. as nearly as possible,
of a duplication or reproduction Of the
funeral cortege of Dec. Is, 1889 The
lodge in which Washington was made
a Mason, and the Washington Alexan-
dria lodge, of which he was the first
master, will take prominent parts in
the ceremonies.
Masons from all parts of the world
are expected to be present. The lodges
of New Zealand have already indicated
a purpose to send delegations.

Opening of the Reservation With

Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Utah, Nov. 1.-THE interview
with Indian Agent Myton and the one
following with Senator Rawlins on the
opening of the Uintah reservation and
the lease of the elaterite lands of the
reservation, exclusively given by The
Herald, have been read here with a
great deal of interest by all citizens,
as there is hardly a man in this section
that is not interested, either directly or
indirectly. The declared purpose of
Senator Rawlins to block the schemes
of the handful of eastern capitalists,
by asking the secretary of the interior
to defer action until the senator can
reach Washington, is universally en-
dorsed here.
That Secretary Bliss is in the deal
there is not the least doubt among
those who have the confidence of the
Indian agent, Senator Rawlins' ex-
pressed belief to the contrary notwith-
standing. Your correspondent was
shown one of the three copies of the
lease by Mr.. Myton, which the latter
carried with him to Washington. These
were typewriter. Here end there in
the copy examined were interlineatiOns,
made with pen and ink, and which Mr..
Myton displayed no hesitancy in saying

sonal suggestion OF the secretary of
the interior This fact Mr.. Myton en-
phasized more than one time, explain
ing that the former leases submitted
to the secretary did not meet that Of

Nine out of ten men here posted on
reservation matters express the belief
that terms could have been, and can
now be, made within a week with the
Indians by 80 different men in eastern
Utah for the opening of the reserva-
ton to settlement. One of these men,
Captain Parker formerly Indian agent,
SO publicly expressed himself before a
dozen reputable persons in the presence

Illinois delegate created something of
sensation by asking that some one tell
us the personal religious convictions and
sectarian connections Of Mrs. Stevens"
There was no answer, save in a buzz of
dissent at such a question at such
time. The ballots were taken up by a
corps of distributing tellers who turned
them over to the counting teliers. The
ballots for president, corresponding secre-
Iary ana recording secretary We're taken.
The ballot for president resulted in 317

DEMAND FOR SILVER DOLLARS
LARGE AMOUNT WILL BE NEED
ED FOR CUBA.
Expected That All the Spanish Silver
VIII Be Shipped Back to Spain
Gold Standard Basis.

Washington. Nov. 15-The Hon. Robert
P. Porter. special commissioner for the
United States to Cuba and Puerto Rico,
presented his report to the president and
secretary of the treasury today. The re-
port submitted contains about 900 words
and goes very fully into the financial and
economical conditions of Cuba, analyzing
the budget OF that island for Ii years,
showing the sources of income and causes
of expenditure. There are some supple
meatary reports yet to be made.
There are also among the data and teS-
timony collected many valuable state
mentS relating to the financial, industrial,
commercial and social conditions of the
island of Cuba, which form a nucleus for
q report on the possibilities for Amer
lean enterprise and the opportunities for
American capital and labor when the
more pressing questions Of the government
and revenue and taxation Of the island
have been settled.
Mr.. Porter says: THE cupidity and
rapacity of the Spanish officials in Cuba
are beyond conception, and, if We may
! Judge by the results at Santiago. the
Z United States officers Will be able to col
SNlect quite as much revenue on a tariff
Fhe duties of which are more than half,
or nearly two-thirds, less than under the
lniquitcus law now in force"
Mr.. Porter submits a. table showing the
average annual custom house receipts in
the island Of Cuba from 1856 to 1897, in
elusive 10 have been SD 645 S94 He also
showing how much revenue is required
and nom much may reasonably be ex-
pected from the tariff TO be enforced
In relation 10 currency, the report saws,
il part: Although Cuba is afflicted with
many kinds Of deprecated currency, the
established basis is strictly gold, and in
any commercial engagement the value is
understood TO be in gold. unless specified
TO the contrary. The testimony taken and
statements made on this subject have
been unanimously in favor of a continu-
Gus gold basis. The Spanish silver money
current in the island is only taken at the
daily value, which is fixed principally by
the continually iluctuating value of the
Spanish money ii European markets. At
the present moment. therefore, this dollar
nuctuates IN value with the changes in
SDain's credit, and it is probable, should
the United States establish American cur
rency as sole legal tender for the island
Of Cuba, that the Spanish silver dollars
VIII all be shipped TO Spain. In this
event, it viii be necessary for the United
states government to ship as many silver
dollars TO Cuba as possible.
Some bankers think it inadvisable to
introduce American money at this time
while certain planters are fearful lest
their labor should refuse to take one
American dollar instead of two Spanish
dollars

| that they are irresponsible parties, and
it is scarcely to be doubted that the
project has been put forward as a
means of enhancing the price which
the SpaniardS may demand for the re-
linquishment Of the Philippines. In
other words, the Spaniards might claim
Justification for demanding q. sum as
large as 200,000000 if they could point
1 to the fact that q syndicate stood
ready to pay double that price for the
islands.
However,, this has not led to any
modification of the American demands,
as far as can be learned, and it is prob
able that several sessions of the joint
commission will be consumed in hag-
Cling over the amount of money to be
paid over on account of the Philip
pines.
Administration officials do not share
the opinion expressed in some quarters
that the Paris peace commission will
fail in its efforts to agree upon a
treaty. The opinion is not based upon
any specific information received from
Paris, but rather upon the fact that
by withdrawing from the conference,
Spain has nothing to gain and all to
lose. It is undoubtedly true that should
the Spaniards adopt this course, they
would sacrifice the indemnity this
government is now disposed to grant,
and would also precipitate trouble for
themselves all along the line.
The United States undoubtedly would
Immediately take forcible possession of
the entire Philippine group and at once
enter upon a military and naval cam
paign, which would end only upon an
unconditional surrender of whatever
territory this government might see fit
to demand
1t is believed the United States at
this time would consent to a cash pay
ment of from 100000 to $25. COO. COO
rather than renew the war. but the
longer a final settlement is delayed the
smaller will be the indemnity. In any
event, the president is not DISPOSED To
brook unnecessary prolongatfon of the
negotiations, and, it is believed, has so
indicated to our peace commissioners.
