SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.

copyrighted by DAVE 4 Tabor

[Copyrghted by DAVE 4 Tabor
There came across nv path n few
days since, young man of wide read
ing but not of deep thought who had
among other things, saturated his
mind with the thoughts of Schopen-
hauer, the pessimist. In weary tones
he told of the disappointments and
sorrows Of life, Of the selfishness of
human beings, of the savagery into
which some of us find it so easy to
drop, of the curse of education in open
ing before us all vast fields of learning
that Time prevents us from travers-
ing, of the mockery of life in giving
us mere peep of great things and
then sending us onward into death
and darkness. The dreary catalogue
of woe-stricken thoughts grow more
and more irksome as it progressed,
and | fear there were replies given
more forceful than polite. Since he
is one of a class, may | just in few
crowded words, repeat some things
that were said during my portion of
the conversation.

ARMIsTICE ACCEPTED.
Cubans In the Field Wire Their Ac-
ceptance of Peace.

New York. Aug. 13.-Word was received
late tonight from the Cubans In the field
that they have accepted the armlstlce
and are no longer fighting the Spaniards.
II. $. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban
delegation, said: 'The Cubans may be
depended upon to cooperate with the
Americans In carrying out the establish-
ment Of n peaceful and stable government
on The island.
THE Cubans stand accused by the Span
ish as not being capable Of self-govern-
ment and they feel that II is a question
Of dignity and honor to disprove that
falsehood to all the world. They have no
feelings but gratitude for the timely and
effective Intervention of the United States
In their behalf. They have fun confidence
In the justice of American government
and feel sure that they, the true friends
of republican institutions, will not dis
crimlnate against them In any way be-
cause OF a pretended fear for the safety
of the island, or because of the calumnies
of Spain. They will assist the United
States i'm every way in their power to set
tie any questions that may hereafter arise
and with the same ardor they maintained
when the principle was Independence or
death, VIII they now strive for the reali-
zation of the new motto, peace and pros
perity.'"

QUESTIONS FOR CONFEDERATION.
Governments for Various Possess
ions the Most Important Matter.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The termination
of the war brings before the state depart
ment many hard reaching subjects for de-
termination. Probably the most import
ant of these is the establishment of plans
Of government for the various possessions
acquired by the United States, most of
them permanent, and Manila temporarily,
with the chance of permanency.
There is the attending question of deal
ing with the people of the acquired terri
tory. These larger questions are being
considered with great care and delibera-
ton and there is not likely to be any haste
IN reaching conclusions. The matters of
pressing Importance are the appointm
OF commissioners to arrange terms of
peace at Paris and the military commits
sion TO meet at Havana and San Juan
1t seems to be settled that Ambassador
Hay OF London is to succeed Secretary Day
when the latter becomes chairman of the
peace committee. The authority for this
statement is unofficial but from source
which shows that such as the determina-
tion of the President at present.
The indications are that Secretary Days
resignation from the state department will
be In and accepted within a week
1t is understood that the President con-
templates the appointment of Secretary
Day to circuit tudgeship after the work
OF the peace commission has been finished.
Senator Davis of Minnesota will be Of
fered place on the commission, but it is
expected he will decline. The President de-
sired to have Adjt. Gen. H. c. Corbin a
member of the peace commission, and it is
probable that he will be selected.

PRESIDENT WANTS A REST.
Hopes the Treaty of Pence Will BE
Signed by Thanksgiving.


Washington. Aug. 1S.-Presldent McKin-
ley to-day said that the mental and physi-
cal strain of the last few months had
been severe upon him, as upon all off,
cials who had borne the weight of great
responsibilities and now that the war
was over and the sufferings that war in
wolves were at an end. his feeling was one
of profound thankfulness.
Work in connection with the appoint
ment of the commissioners to negotiate a
treaty Of peace, the preparation of their
instructions. and other important matters,
he said, probably would necessitate his re-
naming in Washington until some time
in October, when he hoped to be able to
take a short rest.
The work of the peace commission might
occupy a month or so, and he hoped that
in his next annual Thanksgiving procla-
nation he would have the very great
pleasure of announcing to the people that
a treaty of peace had been signed.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 13.-The contract for
the erection of the gibbet on which John
Andersen will expiate the murder of the
mate of the schooner Olive Pecker on the
26th inst, was awarded here to-day few
minutes after telegraphic intelligence was
received from Washington that President
Mckinley had decided not to interfere with
the verdict of the courts.
The news was broken to Andersen IN his
cell in the presence Of the death watch by
one Of his spiritual advisers, Rev. J b..
Merritt chaplain of the Seamens Bethel.
Andersen received the announcement
with great composure and the assurance
that his trust was In God and he was pre-
pared to die. He showed no signs of break

Andersen's counsel, George Mcintosh and
Col. William Lamb, win go to Washington
again Monday TO make one final effort TO
have his sentence commuted TO life i'm
prisonment, but they have very little hope
