PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE EXPLAINED
Vatican Advised Under What. COndi
ti0ns War May BE ANertel.

Vatican Advised Under What. Condi-
tions War May BE Avertel.
The Rome correspondent of the London
Daily News says:
1.-The Vatican received today (Thursday)
dispatch from parsonage whose name
cannot be mentioned, running thus:
president Mckinley says an armistice
| between Spain and the insurgents must
lead to the evacuation of Cuba
From other Information that has ar
rived at the Vatican it appears that Spain
wishes to find formula to save the situa-
ton. and that the United States will avoid
war only If the armisice means that Spain
is going to leave the island and is ready to
sign for evacuation.
Spain will deceive herself If she asks an
armistice from now until October, namely,
during the rainy season, only because in
this period it would be impossible to con-
ttnue operations against the insurgents.
An armistice may nominally be to send
home sick soldiers, but in reality it must
satisfy the United States and it is in order
that Spain may make up her mind to the
| loss of Cuba that President Mckinley de-
lays his message.
IAN the news received goes to confirm
the belief that tn. United States cannot and
will not retire from this position. Spain
must give way If she wishes to avoid war
Est and republican dangers to ward off
The popes action continues to influence
Spain in this direction. The latest tele-
grams to the Vatican say that the Presi-
dents message to Congress may be still
further delayed should the negotiations on
Monday next be still pending on the lines
of the evacuation of Cuba. If Spain yields
the message will be conciliatory. II not, it
will correspond TO a declaration of war;
Spain to Raise n War Fund.
The Madrid. correspondent of the Mail
says:
'"The subscriptions to the national war
| fund which the government has opened will
| be deposited in the Bank of Spain at the
| disposal of the government. Army. navy
| and all government, provincial and munich
pal officials will contribute at least one
days pay. Yet more.pFfvate corporations
and clubs, as well as newspapers, have con-
voked meetings to make the subscription as
big and popular as possible.

JOINT COMMISSION PROPOSED.
Negotiations With England Regard
ing Canadian Matters.

lnE San0ulan Mattef8s
New negotiations are in contemplation
between the United States and Great Brit
ain respecting Canadian matters. The
Psris award provides that the sealing reg
ulations shall be submitted, at the ex-
piration OF five years, to a new examina-
tion. with a view to revision. and as that
period expires during the current year the
United States has proposed that the sub
ject of the revision be taken up.
Lord Salisbury assents to this proposal,
but the British ambassador, under his in
struction, has suggested that other unset
tied questions between the United States
and Canada be made the subject Of ex-
animation, with a view to determining
whether 1t Is feasible to create q joint
commission for their adjustment by treaty
or legislation. The President concurs in
this suggestion. and preliminary confer
ence with these objects in view will be
held in Washington at an early day.

was pulling out for the return trip to the

car and seriously injured brakeman. For
tunately there were few passengers aboard.
Afterward they stoned another passenger
and three freight trains which passed the

declared that they will stone every train on
the road until they are allowed to ride in

many tax commissioners attempted to ques,

that issue. They then announced that they
would make an attack upon the judiciary as
one of their issues. That did not turn out
right. They then muzzled all of their can

issue of the campaign. That issue has
proved disastrous to the Democrats. 30

ed by Col Theodore Roosevelt. 1t would
not pay the slightest attention to such a
slander if it were not for the fact that our
adversaries have peddled their story all
over the state. 1t is a baseless, slanderous
salseLood. The Republican party's organ
ization in the state and Greater New York,
| from the most important official connected
with it to the humblest man in the ranks,
has been working day and night faithfully
and loyalty for the election of the Repub-
| lcan state ticket, the Republican candi-
dates for the legislature and the Republican
candidates for congress. The sound money
allies of the Republican party in this figh.
have also worked as they never worked be-
fore The business men, the workingmen
and all classes of citizens are determined
that Col. Roosevelt and his associates on
the state ticket and all other candidates
for office who stand upon The sound money
principles laid down in st. Louis in 1896
shall be elected ON next Tuesday. Col.
Roosevelt's election and the election of his
associates on the state ticket is assured be
yond the shadow of a doubt. The legisla-
ture will be Republican by good majority
on joint ballot and great delegation Of
Republican congressman will be sent to
Washington from New York state to the
Fifty-sixth session of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Finally, and with fervor, / wish to say
again, that the Democratic SANDER that
am lukewarm to the election of the Repub
licau state ticket demonstrates the utterly
demoralized condition of the Democratic
campaigners. 1t is too ridiculous and toe
untrue for further comment.
