Peace Negotiations Strained.

spanish Commissioners Adopt n Policy
of Delay and Attempt to Have America
Assume the Cuban Debt.
For the purpose of delay, evidently, the
Spanish peace commissioners are contend
ing that the United States, in the assump-
ton of any control whatever over Cuban
affairs, will become responsible for the
Cuban debt. Advices from Paris are to
the effect that the American commissioners
have declared in straightforward terms
that this government will not assuml
sovereignty in Cuba, but that 1t will bend
its Efforts to giving the people of the
islands a stable independent government
of their own. The Madrid diplomats still
insi that unless the Americans Withdraw
entirely from the island, after Banco's
evacuation, the pledge of disinterestedness
cannot be regarded as sincere. This empty
claim will serve as an excuse for further
argument and argument means delay. De-
lay means danger, and it is intimated in
high official quarters that a determined
effort will be made by the American repre-
sentatives in Paris TO bring the Spaniards
sharply to terms in the next few weeks
No hint is given as to the method which
will be adopted, to effect this result, but
1t is very evident that a crisis has been
reached, it is said, in the peace conference,
and that unless there is prompt acquies-
cence in the position taken by the United
States negotiations may be brought to
summary close.

Get Out OF Cuba Dec. 4.

The Spanish evacuation committee sent
notes to the American commissioners in
Havana this week, claiming that it would
be practically impossible to effect evacua-
ton in the short period of time fixed by
the Americans. They disclaim all author
ity to treat of any political subjects outside
the strict limits of military evacuation.
They insist that the sovereignty of Spain
will continue until the final treaty of peace
is signed in Paris. In reply, Admiral
Sampson personally dictated brief, terse
note stating emphatically that Dec. l
would positively be the date on which
Spain's rights, claims and sovereignty in
the island of Cuba would cease to exist"

SOUTH VERNON.
Death of Mrs. Lucy b. Miller.

Mrs. Lucy b. Miller, widow of the late
Sidney S. Miller, died on Thursday, Oct
Il, aged 50 years She was the oldest per-
son in town and, with the exception of one
or two years, while she lived in Dummers-
ton, just after her marriage, all her mar
ried life was spent upon the place where
she died. She was the mother of four
children, all of whom she outlived. Her
youngest born, Marshall NJ, was killed in
stantly at South Vernon in 1865. Her
daughter, Mrs. l.. Augusta Butler, died at
Jamaica in 1872. In 1888 her husband
died and the following year George b., her
second son, an engineer for many years on
the Connecticut River road, being in fail
ing health, came from Springfield TO the
old home, purchasing the interest of his
brother therein. He died in March, 1892,
since which time his widow has tenderly
cared for his aged mother. The following
May her eldest son, Horatio s., died. He
was conductor on the Vermont and Mas
sachusetls aud Fitchburg roads for nearly
40 wears.
Mrs. Miller was a member of the Bar
Der family, one of the old and prominent
families of West Mortified, from which
she inherited a strong constitution and
great vitality, with calm and even tenn
per. She was a woman of untiring indus
try and until deprived of the use of her
hands by rheumatism, was always busy.
She also lost partially her sight and hear
ing and Notwithstanding her Affections
were many, she endured them all with the
greatest of patience. She was endowed
with a remarkable memory, which she re-
tanned until her many infrmities had rem
dered her nearly helpless, and always
evinced great pleasure in having her friends
call upon her aud would frequently sur
prise them by recalling events long since
forgotten. Her funeral was held on Sat
urday afternoon, Rv. Mr., Piper of North
field officiating.

Meddler, the unbeaten son of st. Gatien
and Busybody, the champion two-year-old
of 1892 on the English turf, and the
horse that British turfmen generally

death of his owner, Squire G. Abingdon
Baird, was bought Monday at auction in
the sales paddock at Morris Park, N. Y,
for William G. Whitney for $40, 900. A
few years ago the great stallion sold for

prietor of the Neponset Stud of Readville,
Mass, was the purchaser at that price.
Mr.. Forbes died recently, and for the
second time in his career Meddler was put
up at auction to close out an estate.

At meeting of the Republican re-
presentatives-elect of the Second dis
trict held at Mankato last Thursday
afternoon, Gilbert Gutterson of Blue
Earth county was unanimously en-
dorsed as the district candidate for
speaker of the lower house of the
legislature to open on Tuesday, Jan.
Sd. Mr.. Gutterson has been in pre-
vious sessions of the legislature, and
in all of them he has made records for
being accurate in recording his vote on
all of the leading propositions. He
has been kind to new colleagues and
considerate in treating their PROPOSE
tions. Aside from this he has acquired
an excellent knowledge of parliment-
airy law, and this knowledge, with his
calm, cool and deliberate traits of
character will make him an excellent
speaker, if be wins out, and there is
every indication at the present time
that he will be winner.

And so, while there may be cause
for complaint here and there the

tice is likely to be had there in every

Farmers should be careful what ele-
vator men tell them-elevator men
anxious to make record by getting
all the wheat possible, and when a
farmer is loading car and an elevator
man comes along, as tho car is about
loaded, and tells him what he ought
to have, and what he, the elevator
man would give him, due allowance
should be made for the statements.
And when you ship through an ele-
vator, unless you haye the most i'm
plicit confidence in the elevator man,
and propose to act upon the square,
look to it that your wheat is not
plugged" All may err. but the ele-

MRS. CAMPBELL TALKS.

Mrs. Vie IS. Campbelf lectured at
the Methods church Monday even-
ing, under tic auspices Of the w. G.
T.U. The lady arrived Saturday
afternoon, and on Sunday morning
she spoke in the Christian church, in
the afternoon at parents meeting at
the Methodist church, in the evening
ct the Presbyterian church and on
Monday afternoon she held another
meeting ct the Methodist church, and
closed with her lecture in the evening
entitled "A White Life for Two"
Quite large crowd was present at
the last meeting, and a collection was
taken for the purity association work
which the lady represents. The lady
talked along the line of degraded
manhood and womsnhood and claimed
it was all caused bv the rum or the
saloon. and in the course of her talk
she told several pathetic incidents
which came under her observation.
Another cause lof degraded woman
hood was the State laws which placed
the age responsibility of the female
sex at Is years. She hoped that the
w. G. T. U. would try and have the
next legislature raise the age to Fl
years. The law as it now stands was
barbarous andinhuman one. China
is the signal example of q disgraced
womanhood, but, she said, we need
not go far from home, for in our own
land there are 100000 women in
homes of sin and sorrow.
The evil, she said, concerned all and
the growing up children should know
the true state of affairs so as to be able
to shun the evil. As stated before,
she said the liquor traffic was the
cause and that the saloon should be
stamped out on that account. It is
by far better to. bond q city than to
have the misery, caused by the saloon,
in its midst. In the United States,
she said the saloons cost eighteen
million dollars more than the govern
ment gets out of them. In closing
the lady said the women should be
given the right of ballot, and the
