National Convention In Cincinnati
 GeMerml Wheeler Atrncked.

Cincinnati, Sept 5.-The national con- vention of the iddle-of-the-road popu- lists was to have convened at the Lyce- um at 9 a. m. to-day, but owing to the conferences of leaders and the inability of Ignatius Donnelly and others to find the hall the convention was not called to order until 12:30 D. m. During the forenoon the middle off, -roaders were in informal conference and ex- changed opinions enough to indicate much difficulty in their views as to whether they should hold a nomination convention or merely a general confer ence. In calling the convention to or der J. A. Parker of Louisville, secre- tary of the Reform Press association, advocated independent action by the populists, whether it is done at this convention or at some future time.
 Ignatius Donnelly was chosen tempo rary chairman and made a most radi- cal speech, denouncing General Wheel  CT and all other leaders who had co-op- erated for fusion with the democrats. He referred to Grover Cleveland as a traitor to the democratic party and to Senator Butler as traitor to the popu- list party. He was especially severe in denouncing Senator Butler as a man who reached an exalted position by con- niving with the republicans for his cleo tion to the senate, and who now, under instructions from w. J. Bryan, is con niving with the democrats. MT. Don nelly advocated reorganization of the populist party on the line of the mid dle-of- f-the-roaders as indicated in their conference in Omaha last June and again at Nashville last July. The usual committees of credentials, resolutions
 rules, rules, order of business and per manent organization were appointed, when a recess was taken till 3 D. m.

ASSEMBLING OF THE CORTES
THE SPANISH PARLIAMENT AGAIN
 IN SESSION.
Sagastn, Arrayed in the Insigma Of His Office, Ascends the Tribune anu Reads Decree Authorizing the Government to Present Draft ofa Law Empower ing Ministers to Renounce Sovereignty Over the Colonies in Conformity With
Peace PreIimtMaries.

Madrid, Sept. 5.-The chambers as- sembled here to-day. Thus far only routine business has been transacted. At the opening of the senate the sec- retary read a letter from Senor Rodri- guez senator from Porto Rico, refusing to obey the summons to attend The premier, Senor Sagasta, arrayed in the insignia of his office, ascended the tri- bune and read decree authorizing the government to present to the chamber draft of a law empowering the minis ters to renounce sovereignty over the colonies, in conformity with the stipu- lations of the peace preliminarles be- tween Spain and the United States. The president of the senate proposed a se- cret discussion of the decree, and de- spite the protests of some senators, he ordered that the galleries be cleared, which was done amid loud murmurs of disapproval.
 liS NiieilllDtt oOOll pCSetIlS liiNohN SNt in discussion of press censorship, and deputy inquired the motive underly- ing circular which General Chinchilla, captain general of Madrid, has address, ed to newspapers regulating their re- ports of the sessions of the cortes. He declared that the censorship was incon- sistently applied and that the effect of the circular was to punish possible er- TOTS in advance.
 At the close of the censorship discus sion, in which deputies who are jour- nalists protested emphatically against the attitude of the government, Senor Romero y Robledo accused the govern ment of illegality in continuing the sus- pension of the constitutional guaran- tees after the reopening of the cortes. He demanded immediate decrees revok- ing the suspension. Senor Capdepon. the minister of the interior, replied that the time was not opportune to revoke the suspension and reminded Senor Robledo that former government of which Senor Romero y Robledo was a member had acted in the same way #, 1875. The chamber then adjourned. Those who had expected sensational scenes on the reopening of the cham bers were disappointed. The general public seems indifferent. The people at large are apparently convinced that Spain must accede to whatever the United States demands.

As it wound it's way over stately noun tains, covered to their summits with coffee and tobacco plantations, and through broad savannahs and valleys. General Brooke, with his chief of staff, rode at the head of the column. The natives, who had news of the coming of the Americans, lined the roads, their faces showing their pleasure, although there was no demonstrations. At in- tervals along the way the Spanish sol diers of the Guardia civil presented arms as we passed. At Cayey and Ca guas, the Spanish commanders re- ceived General Brooke with marked courtesies and the alcades paid official visits, extending welcome to their towns. At Caguas, where thousand Spanish regulars are stationed under command of Colonel Rodriguez, the ceremony was pretentious. The Span ish buglers gave the flourishes in hon. or of major general upon our arrival Houses had been set apart for the &C., commodation of General Brooke and his staff.

Atkins of this city, who is in charge of the local naval arrangements, has had no opposition for rear admiral of the association to succeed Kelley and he at noon to-day announced his withdrawal from the contest, although he> had more than enough endorsements to elect.

He did all he could to charter steam boat, but the demand was such on the river at this time that the citizens com mittee could not get a boat for the na- val veterans. The naval veterans threaten to declare their parade for to- morrow off and not to participate fur ther in any way this week unless they are furnished a boat.

LABOR STRIKES IN MANILA.
Demand for Excessive Wages-An In.
 surgent Newspaper.

Manila, Sept. 5.-There have been several labor strikes here, the demand being for excessive wages Because the American authorities, in the early exigencies of the situation here, agreed to the extravagant demands of large operators, it has been difficult to return to an equitable basis.

Copies of the new tariff have been circulated here, but it has not yet been enforced, pending the receipt of instructions from Washington. It is estimated that under the American tar if there will be an average reduction of one-third as compared with that of Spain.

THE WESTERN FARMER.
1t Is Great Race that Is Peop1iug
the Plains and Prairies.

the Plains and Prairies.
DR.. Albert Shaw contributes a fully
illustrated article on '"The TRANSMITS
sissippians and Their Fair at Omaha"
to the Century. DR.. Shaw says: When
one bears testimony to the fineness and
beauty of all this array Of machinery
a beauty that lies in the ever7increasing
perfection Of it's fitness for the condi-
tons that have to be met-One is really
and character of the Western farmer.
1 have been on the Hungarian plains
and witnessed the costly attempts of a
progressive Government to teach the
landowners and peasants the use Of i'm
proved farm machinery imported from
types. And 1 have also obseryed-what
is confessed by the Government and
noted by all who visit those regions
the persistent fact Of scores of men,
women and children in the cornfields
with old fashioned hoes, while long
rows of White-tunicked men, in the hay
field or the ripe grain, are swinging
sickles and short scythes. And a little
later in the season it is common enough
to see the oxen treading out the grain,
or to hear the thud Of the descending
fail. Meanwhile, the new-fashioned
corn plows are rusting; the rejected
moving and reaping machines rot in
their neglected corners; and the thresh-
ing machine is viewed askance as an
ill-omened monstrosity.
1t is all simply a difference in men.
It is great race that has peopled our
prairies and plains, and that is pro-
ducing corn, wheat and oats by the
thousands of millions of bushels where
only a few years ago there was the
ancient matted sod Of the prairies, I'M
broken for centuries. The men who
drive the gang pillow, ride the sulky cul-
tivator, manipulate the Irvine binder,
and send millions Of horned cattle,
hogs and sheep to the packing estab-
lishments Of Omaha, Kansas City and
Chicago, are to be credited with series
of achievements worthy not merely Of
respect, but even Of enthusiasm. l can
not for moment doubt the ability Of
such men to rear fine and varied fab
RIGS of civilization upon so great a ma
terial foundation.
