LONDON, August 6-The Madrid cor

A majority of the politicians who con-
ferred with Senior Sagasta counselled
peace. But Senior Nocedal, leader of the
Ultra montanes, urged war a routrance,
even if the Yankees, he said. were TO cap
ture Spanish ports. as possible. then an
international conflagration would avenge
Spain by placing her in a position to gain
more than by making shameful peace
now. Senior Robeldo. in the course Of an
interview, said:
'Senor Sagasta informed me as to the
contents of the American note. In addf-
ton to the demands already known, the
American government asks the. occupa-

A DIPLOMATIC MISSION.
Rumored That the Princess of Wales Has
Gone 10 Meet the Dowager Empress of
Russia

LONDON, August 5-There is great un-
easiness on all sides here in view of the
Chinese situation, which is regarded as
bringing an open conflict between Great
Britain and Russia within measurable dis
tance. and it is universally felt that the
Marquis of Salisbury's invertebracy in
yielding TO Russian aggressiveness is re-
sponsible for the dangerous complication
which can only be overcome by the
prompt and most firm intimation that
Russia's open opposition to British COM
mercial concessions must cease.
In this connection the story is current
that the Princess of Waiess hurried de-
parture from England in response to a
dispatch from her sister. the Dowager
Empressi of Russia. bearing upon the
Anglo-R Russian relations 1t is well known
that the IDowager Empress is strenuous
ly working to conclude a definite under

Here are directly at loggerheads
Editor Pecksniff, who assumes to know
probably by intuition of his inner
consciousness-all about the admins
tration's views on the question, and
Stephen B. Elkins, who undoubtedly
does know all about the administra-
tons views and is even credited with
speaking for the President.
The truth is Pecksniff is as ignorant
of the administration intention and
policy in regard to these conquered
possessions as he is absurd in as
suming it will do just exactly the right
thing. Elkins, on the other hand, new
er talks in the dark; he knows exactly
what kind of ground he is treading on
and whether he is in accord with the
administration or not. Indeed, he is
generally credited in Washington with

thick. and it is believed that the inter-
view published exclusively in the Reg
lister yesterday, from which the above
quotation is a brief extract, is a correct
statement of the administration real
policy, given out as a "feeler.' 1t is
confidently stated by those in a position
to know that the administration is
thoroughly In favor Of wide-open i'm
perialism and territorial aggrandize-
ment, although too timid to boldly adj
vocate that policy as yet.

The most marked characteristic Of

Wall street spectators and jobbers,
who are potent with this adminstra-
tration, the President is yet fearful
of antagoniZing the conservative ele-
ment of his party. This element,
which is in the rank and file chiefly,
is strongly opposed to this departure
from our time-honored and wise pol

tanglements, and is in favor with the
Democratic party of keeping always
in view as our guiding star the wis
dom OF our revolutionary fathers who
founded this greatest country on

would beset its pathway in after years.

Elkins on the other hand has all the
courage and daring of the political buc-
cancer he is and, hence, is given the
work of throwing out the administra-
ticn's skirmish lines under whose COW
er the imperial Presidential forces will
steadily but silently advance until the
conservatives in the Republican party,
now being lulled to sleep by the spe-
cious palaver of such hypocritical or
ignorant organs as the Intelligencer,
will suddenly awake to find themselves
outwitted and in the grip of the i'm
perialists. Then their only choice will
be to support their party and stultify
themselves, or to be true to their con-
victions of right and join the Demo-
cratic party in its war on the mad dog
of territorial aggrandizement, costly
militarism and imperialism, which
gravely threatens the peace, happiness
and welfare of the American people and
the very life of this grandest country

TRENTON. Nov. 49,, 1S9S.-William
stainsBy. Chief Of the New Jersey Bureau
of Labor and Statistics, has collected and
compiled for the first time q statement
showing the number Of men employed on
the steam railroads in the State and the
total wages paid. The statement in
cludes all the large systems. All the
roads, with the exception of one or two
small lines, are a part of these large
systems. The statement shows the great
number Of men thus employed and the
immense amount Of money paid by the
railroads in this State yearly in wages.
The period covered is the last fiscal
year, which for all the roads, except the
Pennsylvania, is for the year ending
June 30, 1888. The Pennsylvania reports
for the calendar year 1897.
The statement of each road is for the
average number of employees engaged in
service on the companies lines in New
Jersey during the twelve mouths. The
actual number engaged in the different
departments may vary slightly from one
month to another, but the variation is
rrii1ing. The reports made by the differ
ent roads are not entirely uniform. In
the main they conform TO certain well
defined lines. Below, the total number
of employees on the different systems in
New Jersey is shown. together with the
total amount paid in wages to these en-
ployes during the year
