cable and then retransmitting it at the French
embassy In the case of the last note the attaches
Of the embassy worked nearly all night to prepare
their communication to the Spanish government
though the conference with the president closed
before o'clock in the afternoon, with the ambas-
sador in possession of the United States note
Should the Spanish answer be an unconditional
acceptance of our terms, some negotiations may be
necessary to agree upon the steps to be taken to give
effect to the agreement. So far as can be learned
it has not yet been determined how this shall be
done There are two ways then. The first is
.ilitary oapitulation by the captains general of
Cuba and Porto Rico, which will Immediately
place the American military or naval commanders
in technical occupation of the islands and enable
them to carry out in their way and in their own
time the embarkation of the Spanish armies in the
islands. The intention to whether they shall be
permitted to carry off their arms is not now as
material as it was in the of the surrender of
General Toras forces at Santiago, where occurring
in the midst the campaign, there was necessity
for securing the moral effect of compelling the
Spanish soldiers to lay down their arms
sALvE FOR SPANISH PRIDE.
Spain having succumbed, it might be urged
that the United States might grant concession on
this point to Spanish pride, without fear of having
the action attributed to fear for the consequences of
a refusal. This would not apply, however, to the
volunteers who might elect to remain in Cuba as it
would not be prudent to allow SO large body of men
to carry arms without restraint in the days of
struction, when delicate and difficult matters of
internal policy are to be settled and new methods
applied to the government Of the islands The
second method by which the preliminary peace
agreement might be formally effected would be by
a protocol to be signed by representative Of the
president probably Secretary Day in this case, and

The plan includes the organization of

pudiates what seems to him dictatiOn
upon the part of the men in charge Of
the party machinery.
However, an organization which can
successfully overthrow the Republican
leadership of Kansas must have the
earnest and cordial assistance and sup
port of the rank and file of the fusion
forces. Leadership which is actuated
by a&Gesire to dethrone Republicanfsm
in this state ought, and must have the
cordial endorsement of every voter who
believes in the principles of the POpu-
list party. This is the time to begin a
compact and aggressive organization of
all the forces which fought under the
banner of William J. Bryan in 1896. A
more important contest will be fought
out two years hence, and it is neceS-
sary to have in operation then an or
ganizatiOn which will be enabled to
place Kansas back into the hands of a
party which accomplishes things. That
there will be a coming together of all
the forces which stood for the great
principles enunciated- in the platform
upon which Mr.. Bryan StOOd,I have not
the slightest doubt. Under what name
we shall fight is a matter of little con-
principle and they Will really to man
in defence of that principle. 1t will be
time a year hence to discuss the unirn-
pOrtant questions of names. The voters

Mrs Cody Says She Believed in Al
legged Gould Marriage.


Albany. n. Y. Dec 1.-THE third days
trial of Mrs. Margaret Cody for the al
legged Matchmaking of the heirs of the
Jay Gould estate was devoted almost
exclusively to the examination and
cross exa minatiOn of the defendant,
who was placed on the stand after two
unimpOrtant witnesses were examined
and her counsel had opened their side
Of their case. Her cross examination
was not concluded when the court adj
journed. In response to questions from
her attorney, MrDugan, Mrs. Cody told
straight forward story as to her con-
nectiOn with Mrs. Angels case and her
cross examination was of a preliminary
nature and did not weaken her story

Mrs. Cody said that her first atten-
ton was called to the case by an inter-
view in the Rock Mountain News of
Denver, in December 1894 with Mr.
Pierce. in which the latter was quoted

jay Gould, who had deserted his first
wife. She had on several occasions been
employed to look up relationships and
family trees and the like and when she
saw this item in the paper she began a
correspondence with Mrs. Pierce con-
corning the matter and eight months
later visited Mrs. Angel at Rouss Point
and after talking the matter over with
her she agreed to try and establish the
proof of relationship of the latter to
Jay Gould.

tract to act as attorneys for Mrs. Cody.
She was to do the work to secure the
proofs of the marriage. She then told
of her hunt for this proof and several
letters were read by her counsel from
different persons who claimed to have
knowledge of the marriage. Affidavit
of Mary Ann Shields of Champlain, was
read il which the depOnent swOre that
in April, 1853, she saw Rev Mr.. Leigh

Shortly after this, she was not

pork packers and exporters of meats have
united in sending to the depar tment of az
riculture at Washington vigorous pro-
test against the proposed passage of a bill

sion of the entire hog product of the Unit
ed states from Germany The protest
contained the names of men who represent
a combined capitalization of 5000 900, 900 and
it was prepared at a meeting of the pack
ers held at the instance of Maurice Ep-
stein, president of the Cierma n-American
Provision company, who received the fol-
lowing telegram from his son in Berlin:
Have received positive information that
the American government will sanction

ers and they Joined with him in the pro
