A DISPATCH from Madrid, dated the
22d. said: The sympathy and dismay
which at first prevailed in this city
when the catastrophe in Havana har-
Dor was announced has disappeared
and has given way to an intensely bel
licose and angry feeling, which is
freely expressed on all sides and by
members of every political party

The news that Spain had made an
independent investigation of the Maine
disaster created wonder in Washing
ton official circles, on the 22d, as 1t was
generally understood that Spain had
conceded the principal of extra terri
toriality as regards the wreck of the
Maine.

WAR ON

The democratic party Of Wyoming.
through its newspapers and stump
speakers, is making war or the sheep
industry Of the state. The Rocky
Mountain News claims that there are
but three hundred sheep men in Wyo-
ming and that they should not be allow
ed to monopolize the range with their
tiocks. Democratic newspapers in this
state are anxious to see the sheepmen
downed. They claim that the masses
would be better off without what they
call the sheep barons." 1t might be
mentioned here that mutton and wool
is one Of the largest industries in the
state and that it gives employment and
support to five or six thousand people
and besides this creates business in every
town in the state. 1t is certainly a very
important part of or prosperity and
any man, be he a democratic stump
speaker, democratic editor or demo-
cratic voter who tries to injure the
men who own our flocks pursues a very
narrow policy and Injuries the whole
state. The crime of the sheepmen is
simply this: Under the democratic ad-
ministration sheep and wool went down
sc low that there was no money in the
, 1898-10-19

business. Under a republican admins
tration wool and mutton advanced so
rapidly, more than doubling in value,
that the "sheep barons,' as the demo-
Gratis call them, advanced the a of
their herders which had been reduced
in democratic times, bought more
sheep, hired more men, paid out
thousands of dollars in the different
towns for the supplies of their sheep
camps. In a word they made every
body around them prosperous. Pros
perity, in the eyes of the democratic
party, is a crime, and doubly so in this
instance, as it is an object lesson, and
teaches the people the real difference
between the two parties. Democracy
brings to the masses poverty, and the
epublicanism lifts the people from their
hopeless despair, feeds the hungry.
clothes the naked and where all was
gloom and dependency, is now, under
republicanism, thrift, Joy and peace.
This is the true reason why the demo-
cratic party is making war on the sheep
industry Of Wyoming.

General Brooke will have sole charge
Of the government Of the island until

1t is possible that when the president
returns he may designate a military
governor Of the island to act in that ca
pacity until congress can provide for
a territorial civil government. No in
structions have been SEN to General
Brooke regarding his duties now that
the island has formally passed we to

before that time a military government

SOLEMN DUTY 10 BE prkt unMnu
Sweep the Calamity Howlers From the
tair State OF Wyoming.

Notwithstanding the fact that demo
cratic leaders n newspapers in Wyo-
ming deny tina business has improved
during the last two years, most mel
and dependency have disappeared.
business activity and confidence are
present everywhere. Republican sue
cess is abroad in the land and democ-
racy, with all its attending horrors, Ii
a thing of the past. The hungry and
naked, victims Of democratic methods,
have been employed and they are feed
ing and clothing themselves and fam
lilies. Railroad men who were on short
time or idle during the democratic ad-
ministration are working full time and
making over time. The depression
which was keenly felt in every county
in the state has disappeared like a
rising sun and the people are filled
with Joy and ~contentment. The anch-
man is once more prosperous and the
business man is encouraged by his sur
/ %roundings. The calamity bowler Is out
of a job and only encouraged to pro-
long his worthless life by this last op-
portunity to help the democratic party
bring back the evil days of the past. In
the name of that prosperity which Is
despised by democracy; in the name OF
the gallant Wyoming heroes who went
forth to fight the battles OF their
try and whose services are belittled by
the speeches of Arnold and the demo-
cratic press; in the name Of that
splendid soldier, patriot and states
man, President Mckinley, let us go to
the polls and protect our fair common
wealth from the assaults OF the calam-
ity howlers, the demagogues and those
men who have and will refuse to sup
port the administration OF our country;
those men who van to pay our
soldiers in fifty-cent dollars. Every

that is to do all that lies in his power
to keep the democratic party out Of the

THE PEACE JUBILEE
DOWNPOUR OF RAIN MARKS
OPENING OF CHICAGO'S
CELEBRATION.
Five Meetings Held During the After
moo in Different Parts of the City
President Mckinley, in Response
to Repeated Calls, Delivers a Short
Address.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Five thousand peo-
pie packed within the walls OF the Au-
ditorium witnessed the formal launch
ing Of the peace jubilee today.
1t required the u%noorking of six walls
of eloquence to make the launching a
distinct success, and nc vessel that
ever slid down the ways encountered
more dampness than the peace jubilee.
A heavy drizzle, that was at times
changed into rain and then back to
drizzle, was falling, the streets were
filled with puddles of water and the
cold wind blowing off Lake Michigan
made walking unpleasant. Notwith-
standing these obstacles, the opening
of the jubilee proper was a distinct and
brilliant success.
It was announced that the cere-
monies would begin at 1890 o'clock,
and fully an hour prior to that time
the street in front of the Auditorium
was packed with an eager crowd. AZ
ter the doors had been thrown open
there was a long wait for the speaker.
Owing to a Misunderstanding, in which
the president had no part, it was 10
minutes past II before Mr.. Mckinley
entered the hall.
On his ride from the residence OF Mr..
MoWilliams the president was escorted
by the Chicago Hussars and mounted
police. AS the president entered the
hall his appearance was the signal for
an outburst Of enthusiastic cheers that
lasted for several minutes,
With the president were Ex-Governor
Richard j. Oglesby of Illinois, Lafay-
cite McWilliams. whose guest the pres
ident has been since his arrival in the
city; President Harper of the Chicago
university. and Thomas B. Bryan of
Chicago. The party composing Mrs.
and Miss McWilliams and Miss Dun
can were in the box adjoining that of
the president.
In the first box at the left of the stage
was General Miles, and in the boxes
next to him q the members of the
various diplomatic corps. Secretary
Gage was in a box in the second tier
almost directly opposite to the box OF
the president. Almost Immediately az
ter the presidential party had taken
their seats. the Rev. Frank W. Gun

ed prayer.
Chairman Charles Truax, on behalf
of the jubilee committee then made a
short opening address and introduced
Mr.. George R. Peck as presiding ofioer.
After Mr.. Peck had terminated his
address. he introduced Mayor Harri-
son OF Chicago. who delivered the Tor
NAL address Of welcome to President
Mckinley and the strangers who had
come to Chicago to witness the cere-
monies of jubilee week.
The president, who received the most
enthusiastic welcome as he entered the
building, made no formal reply to the
address of welcome, notwithstanding
the calls that were made upon him for
q speech. Following the address OF
Mayor Harrison, Archbishop Ireland OF

MONEY COMES FROM FRANCE
Paris Capitalists Depended On to
Furnish spain With the Sfnews
of Wur.

NEW YORK, March "A copyrighted
cablegram from London 20 the Evening
Post says:
Special inquiries IN official and financial
circles today show that of the many
grave difficulties pending in Cuba. Japan.
West Africa, the Nile and elsewhere. the
most serious view is taken of the Amer
ican-Spanish relations. AT the American
and Spanish embassies the utmost reti-
cence, OF course, IS shown, They pretend
to know nothing. and 1t Is noteworthy in
view OF reports that the Armstrong; have
sold cruisers TO Spain. that the Arm
strongs' board has given express instruc-
tons that no questions are to be answered
regarding dealings with British or other
governments.
Varying conclusions are drawn from
this refusal to confirm the denial of this
Spanish purchase from the Armstrong;.
What cannot be denied is that the Arm
strongs have had relations with Spain
since 1856; have built several cruisers to
SPANS order. and now have vessels In
stock that could be sold if money was
forthcoming.
Is French money helping Spain? Two
OF the first financial houses We're asked
this question this afternoon. Their re-
plies may be grouped thus;
Nothing OF the kind has been definite
y arranged. and obviously. seeing the
large French financial interests in Spain,
French fnanciers will be most anxious to
keep Spain from war, but it is equally
certain that If Spain did decide that war.
however desperate, was the only escape
from the growing financial trouble at
home. then Paris, and not London, would
be the quarter whence money would be
sought and beyond doubt obtained As
yet, however, nothing has been definitely
settled"
The fact probably Is that Spain Is anx-
ious to buy ships. and that tho Arm
strongs arc ready TO sell If they can see
the money. The French financiers are
not eager to advance the necessary money
SO long as by holding back they can as
s!st the cause OF peace.
The Armstrong; have the reputation
among the naval circles here Of pro-
ducing the best armed and protected
cruisers in the world.
