Worcester March 26. 1898.
To the Editor of the Spy--Dear Sir:
The following lettsr was this day re-
ceived by me from a member of the
London stock exchange. AS this pretty
accurately guages the situation between
the United States and Cuba, as seen
from the Englishmans point of view, it
may be Of interest to the readers of your
paper In speaking of the present crisis
the following remarks occus:
If YOU Chat is, the United States),
go to war with Cuba. it will be Spain
who starts the game. She is dead
broke; that is a reason both for and
against war. For war if her statesmen
see this is the only way of preserving
the present reigning dynasty, i. e., to
keep their own posts secure, and against
war if they have any common sense.
She might in the beginning hurt some of
your seaport towns, and perhaps Grip
pie your export trade for time, al
though, of course, in the long run, there
could be only one ending 70 such a con-
test. We, here consider that President
Mckinley has shown great ooolness and
judgment, and it is well for the jingoes
and the people that take stock in the ir-
responsible statements and screechings
of an unreliable and sensational press,
that they have such a man at the head
OF your government" Yours respect
fully, John S. Bowler.

THEIR ANNUAL CONCERT.
The Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar
Club Promises a Good Program.

The annual concert of the Ideal Banjo,
Mandolin and Guitar Club, which is to
be held in Horticultural Hall Tuesday
evening, April 5, promises to be more
than usually enjoyable. A star feature
of the program will be the appearance
of j. J. Bacon, classical banjoist of
Hartford. This gentleman will be heard
in such selections as the william TelP'
overture, Paderewsli's minuet, one of
Chopin's nocturnes, and other selections
which are rarely attempted on the banjo.
He is said to be wonderful player A
Connecticut paper, in speaking of one
of his public performances, said: 'In
Mr.. Bacons hands, the banjo becomes
capable of any amount of expression,
fit to rank with the violin, and certain
ly quite as enjoyable"
Archie Leon French of Boston, a hui
morist, who appeared to general
acceptance in the Y. NJ C. A
course the past winter, has been en-
gagged, and Miss Grace Gabriel of this
city will give readings. Miss Gabriel
has been a pupil for the past four years
of Miss Rachael Noah, the well-known
actress and teacher The chief attrac-
ton of the concert, however, will be the
appearance of the club itself, with its
banjo orchestra Of 40 pieces, under the
direction of Harry N Davis.

HE WAS NOT A BISHOP.

To the Editor of the Spy: Your faith

erybodys friend, Caleb Wall, in his ex-
cellent article on the old city hall, has
fallen into an error which, am sure,
he would like to have corrected. Men
tioning the anti-slavery troubles in the
hall. he says that Orange Scott the
Methodist minister interested, was af-
terwards a bishop. Not so: Bishop Levi
Scott was native of Delaware and by
no means was the agitator that his Yer
mont namesake was for many years.
No one doubts that Orange Scott had
most superior material for the making
of a church dignitary. But his uncom-
promising principles stood in his way
Just before the division of the Methodist
Church on this very vexed question of
slavery, Orange Scott, despairing of his
old associates reaching his advanced
standing, withdrew and was one of the
founders of the Wesleyan connection
and in that communion died July 81,

Mr.. Wolcott introduced his subject
BY saying that he was glad to make a
statement respecting certain phases OF
the work Of the recent bimetallic com.
mission, but that in doing so he spoke
unoficially, ''not committing his asso'
ciates in the slightest degree, either to
his opinions or deductions" "
He stated that the commission had
been Of one mind as to the desirability
of an international agreement, and that
they had not been hampered by instruc'
tions from the administration. They
had also received great assistance from
American ambassadors abroad.
Mr.. Wolcott then detailed the nego'
