years ago drove about the streets of

did not know and could not imagine
what the fifth wheel was for, and the
speaker said that he was the fifth
wheel of the evening, and he did not
know under the circumstances why he
spoke.

state militia at the national expense
This is a lesson we should learn from
the war. We cannot bring back the
dead TO life by denunciation of the adj
ministration. They must receive our
support. Let us not defend or apologize
but investigate thoroughly. You can
depend upon a republican congress TO
make a rigid and thorough investiga-
ton and bring any guilty ones to JUS
tce. We shall spare no man, be he high
or low. Within the last few months the
American people have endured anger,
apprehension, eXultation and then pro
found sorrow, and for the time being all
questions of finance and the tariff are
forgotten.
The vote In Worcester in 1897 fell off
1000, but this ought not to be so. 1t is
the duty Of every man TO vote on the
Sth day of November. II this is to be a
government of the people and by the
people, then the people must govern it
by exercising the right Of suffrage. No
man ought to disregard it, Let the city
and county of Worcester speak her
true voice for sound money and protec-
ton. Continued applause)

increase it from 100000 to $4eo. 900, re-

Stockholders would be allowed to

which date the shares not subscribed

At the suggestion OF the new treas

THE STAR OF PEACE.
Rising Above the Horizon, but Slightly
 Obscured.

Washington, July 27-As far as can be gathered our government in a gen. eral way has already prepared itself to announce the outlines of the condi- tions we will seek to impose in the consummatlon of peace. It is not deemed proper now to officially make any statement of these, but much light is thrown upon the situallon by unof- ficial utterances. One condition will be: First, the absolute independence of Cuba, with the provision that the island will be absolved from any re- sponsibility for any debt heretofore charged against it by Spain. Second, the absolute concession of Porto Rico to the United States, likewise unen- cumbered by any liability for bonded indebtedness. The third is the con- cession of coaling stations in the Caro- lines, Ladrones and elsewhere. As to the Philippines, it may be that a coal ing station is all that will be asked for, as this country is under no obligations to Aguinaldo. Touching .Ae question of indemnity, it may be stated that our government is not in a mood to abandon any claim on this score, if Spain, by further resistance, obliges it to go to heavy expense in sending a naval expedition to Spain and of con- tinuing on a large scale the military movements under way

The Contest Has No Effect Upon Commercial
 Transactions.
It is Regarded As Settled and Will be Followed by a Business Boom of Which Even the Sanguine
 Have Not Been Dreaming.

New York, July 27.-(Special.)-A factor in the stock market the war is of much diminished importance, be- cause of recent successes. Neverthe- less delay is not a favorable influence, and progress towards peace is quite likely to be on Zig-zag lines.
 Ultimately the war will prove powerful stimulus to the whole coun- try. It has buried old political issues which were paralyzing trade and in- dustry, and developed in our people a spirit of confidence and aggressiveness which will inevitably be reflected in the business affairs of the nation. The political situation is more satisfactory than for many years past. New ques- tions are before us, the solution of which will broaden and strengthen the whole country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In the financial situation there is also reason for confidence Money is plentiful and promises to con- tinue so. Gold must come from Flu rope in settlement of the extraordinary trade balance, and our supplies are likely to be materially increased by shipments from the Klondyke. It is quite likely also that the banks vii, increase their circulation to a consid- erable extent, when they have acquired a supply of the new bonds; and placing of which as popular loan was a grati- flying and significant example of the confidence of the people in the govern ment. The moral effect of this meth cd was excellent, and worth it's cost to the government, which could read fly have syndicated the whole issue at 9 more profitable price,
 The agricultural situation is another and very important element of prom ise. Farmers are rapidly getting out of debt, and with increased prosperity are buying more freely of both the ne cessities and luxuries of life. The better prices for wheat mean the distri- button Of many millions in the west and a larger traffic for the railroads, both eastbound and westbound, for some time to come. Western mer- chants coming to this city are enthusi- astic in their reports of trade pros poets during the coming fall; and the outlook is that the next six months will show very decided business re- vival
 While all the domestic conditions and the course of our financial and commercial relations with other coun- tries continue favorable yet the. real underlying condition upon which most depends is the war, in respect to which the main question is-when will it end ? If Spain were country capable Of
 managing it's affairs upon ordinary principles Of prudence and common sense, there would be no difficulty in i reaching safe conclusion on that
 point. But between the utter demoral-
 .zation Of the government, the hostile divisions among politicians, the confu- sion of such public opinion as may be said to exist, the partisan disloyalty 1 to the reigning dynasty, the plots of
 Don Carlos and the exhaustion and

stored. It is expected that the Spanish government will perhaps submit counter proposals for treaty of peace, disclosing demands which it is now ready to grant. If Sagasta's desire to end the war is sincere, his return propositions are counted on by the authorities here to make clear the fact. If, on the other hand, he sub mits conditions of peace which the United States will be compelled to dis miss as trivial and unwarranted, the failure of the Madrid government to appreciate the straits to which it has already been driven will be taken as warning that to secure peace on a ra- tional basis, the war must be prose cuted by the country to a bitter and relentless end. The reception given to overtures in Spain itself will perhaps demonstrate shortly whether the Span
 ish people are weary or not of the
 present struggle and on the temper disclosed Will depend greatly the conditions offered in Senor Sagastas S expected 1ore.

SYLVESTER sCOvEL's CASE.
It Is Thought That He Will Be Ex-
 pelled in Disgrace.

Washington, July 27.-The case of Sylvester Scovel, the newspaper cor respondent, who is said to have slapped General Shafter's face at the close of the ceremonies attending the raising of the United States flag over the captured city of Santiago de Cuba, has not yet been made the subject of an official report to the war depart ment The circumstances of the al leged insult are particularly aggra- vated, and it may go hard with the reckless newspaper man if General Shafter desires to punish him.
 It is said at the war department that the matter is entirely in the hands of General Shafter and that if so disposed he could impose a capital penalty on Scovel. AS one official ex- pressed it, the offense was committed
 in the enemy's country, during the existence of martial law, against the person of the officer in supreme com mand. The fact that Scovel is a civilian gives him no immunity from the operation of military law. The character and extent of his punish ment rests entirely with General Shaf- ter. His alleged offense is one of the most serious known to military law. It was mutinous in it's character and might. under the existing conditions at the time, have led to serious upris-

WILD AT HONOLULU.
On Receipt of the News Of the An
 neXation.

Honolulu, July 20.-The steamship Coptic arrived from San Francisco the evening of the 18th instant with the news that the senate mad ratified the Newlands resolution making Hawaii part of the United States. Long be- fore the vessel reached the harbor it was known that the steamer brought the annexation news. On the city front and in the city proper the people were simply wild with enthusiasm. Steam whistles were turned loose, men shouted and cheered until they could do so no longer; there was general handshaking and congratulations ev- anywhere. Fireworks were set off.
 In the midst of the noise one hundred guns were fired on the grounds of the executive building and the Hawaiian band marched through the streets to the wharf playing American patriotic airs An immense procession formed and a marcn was made to the execu- tive building. President Dole was at his beach home when the steamer was sighted. He hurried into town and reached the wharf as the steamer tied up. Captain Selby Of the CopLic was presented with silver cup by the citizens of Honolulu for blinging the news.
 The leading men of Honolulu met to- day and endorsed Harold M. Sewall United States minister to Hawaii, a.: their choice for governor of the is- lands. It is generally thought Presi- dent Dole will be appointed to the of flee, but according to popular feeling as represented at the meeting today Sewall will be the man.

phere available for the work. Those which may be blockaded in Cuban or Porto Rico ports are not available for this work The contract with the company provides that whatever se- curity is accorded their vessels as against our army and navy is not to apply to ships already seized or i'll blockaded ports. Of course no ar mored ships could by any means be permitted to take part in the work of shipment, as the contract specifically y provides that the ships so engaged shall have only such armament as is customarily carried by merchant ships. No, we were not taken by surprise at all, but acted with full knowledge of all the circumstances of the case"

HuRrFUL TO THE HOG RA1sERs
The Reason for German Opposition to
 American Pork.

Washington, July 27.- Consular Agent Neuer at Gera has made the following report to the state depart ment in regard to German opposition to United States pork:
 Under the pretense of protecting the sanitary condition of the people an unjust and systematic war is waged against American pork in this city Warnings are published by the magis- trates against the consumption of raw American pork, though every piece Of bacon and ham is subject to an in- spection by duly authorized exam iners before entering trade. Dealers in our hog products are required to hang signs in conspicuous places in their stores bearing the inscription, 'Amerikanische Fleischwaaren (Amer- ican meats). No means are left un- tried to create widespread prejudice, and all local papers take up the sub- ject of trichinae in American pork as one of their favorite themes.
 The inspection fees have recently Jean doubled, and now amount to 25 pfennigs instead of 1215 pfennigs, as before, for every piece of bacon or ham, resulting, for instance, in an ex- pense of from 35 to 40 marks ($S33 tn s9.52) per tierce of boneless hams.
 Not long ago shipment of corned pork was detained to undergo inspec- tion, thereby exposing the meat t. decay and practically prohibiting it's entrance. Moreover, the Gera author ities have ordered all American pork to be conveyed to their slaughter house for microscopic examination, regard less of whether it is to be sold here or elsewhere, measure very detrimental to the interests of the dealers in this city.
 Not one case of death or even of disease can be attributed to the con- sumption of American pork, while l know of several cases of trichinosis from the use of freshly slaughtered German pork in spite of microscopic inspection. If one case of trichinosis could be traced to meat from our country the fact would be published far and wide, and it is probable that imports of American pork would be prohibited. It is an established fact however, that in consequence of the saiting, pickling and smoking to which our hog products are subjected the trichinae are no longer living, or have at least lost the power of reproduction in the human body.
 From my personal exper. .ance I an able to state that I have ne, ar known a microscopist to state that he had ob- served trichinae manifesting any sign of life in well salted meats.
 "The reasons for this agitation against our hog products are, it is al most generally conceded, entirely sel- fish. Our meats are much cheaper than those of Germany anS form ar indispensable article of food for the poorer classes in this country, thus arousing the opposition of German hog raisers and wholesale butchers"

OFFICIALS ARE AMUSED.
Charged With Being Outwitted by the
 Spanish Steamship Company.

Washington. July 27.-The officials of the war department appear to be more amused than indignant over the published statements that the Span
 ish steamship company which was awarded the contract for carrying the prisoners from Santiago to Spain have stolen march on the authorities and secured profitable contract. "As a matter of fact" said Col F. J. Hecker, who negotiated the contract with the steamship company, 'the department was fully aware of all the circum- stances in the case, and knew just how many Spanish ships were in neutral ports in the western hemisphere. In- stead of there being eight of these ves- sells shut up in Mexican ports, as stated, there are but two or three such vessels in the whole western hemis-
