representative OF Harper's Weekly.
Pel.etier Is a small why man. who has
been making 1t interesting in public and
private for some Of the Canadian officials.
and II appears that his wrath has been
particularly directed towards Wade. He
was SO energetic In his opposition that
Wade at one tame tflawed out and, calling
Pelletier into his Office. talked the matter
over with him. showed HIM docume hts
that had never before been made public,
ana did other things TO prove TO the news
paper man that he was being sinned
against. The correspondent III said 10 have
been so elated as result OF the interview
that he told friend Wade had capitulated,
actually almost crawling on his knees 10
make peace. This story ultimately got
around 10 Wade and Wade consequently
brooded over the rtHnors.

The Populists are rising in rebellion
against the efforts of Chairman Butler to
commit them to another fusion, in which
they are to do all the fusing and the
Democrats to get all the offices. They
are not only rebelling but are empha.
sizing their rebellion by removing fus.
ion members from the National Com.
mittee and putting anti fusionists in
their places. To defeat this Chairman
Butler is trying to get q rule adopted
which provides that no member shall be
recalled or suspended without q cause
being assigned and without permission
to appear before the convention in his
own defense, and that no matter what
may be the action Of the State conven.
ton, even should 1t unanimously vote to
remove him, he shall have right to ap-
peal to the National Committee. This,
OF course, gives the National Committee
power to rerpetusts itself in it, present
form. in which form It is subservisnt TO
the Democratic party and to the iusion
proposition.

Harper's Magazine for June has an
article on "a Century of Cuban Diplom
scy," by Albert Bushnell Hart, Profess
or of History at Harvard University.
The leaders of thought in our colleges
have often been accused of straining the
judicial and non-partisan attitude to the
extreme of fostering un-American feel
ing: but in the present case, though
Professor Hart is judicial and historical
throughout, such an imputation would
not hold. When he undertook the study
he was strongly prejudiced against our
attitude; but after thorough study of
the facts he concluded that we have
shown rare forbearance and an un-
precedented lack of territorial ambition.

lists the Active Interest of Army
Engineers and Naval Omcefs.

WASHINGTON June 4.-The great
natural strength OF the Spanish posi-
tion at Santiago, and the formidable
character of their batteries as indi-
Gated by Commodore Schley have con-
firmed the naval officials in the belief
that they have been wise not to direct
any such reckless assault upon the
place in the absence of proper forces
as has been advocated in some quar-
ters. The problem would be simplified
were it known that there were no
mines in the channel. As it is the
problem presented has enlisted the in
terest of the army engineers as well
as of the naval officers here. 1t is the
duty of the army engineers in thiy,
country to lay just such mines as
are supposed to be in place in Santiago
harbor, and they are curious to see
how their brothers in the navy pro-
pose to go about the work of destroy
ing them. A good deal has been writ
ten in the text books about
counter mining, and many theo-
ries have been brought forward
to show how this can be done. But
on the authority of one of our engineer
officers, these theories have never been
satisfactorily tested, and there 10 NO
case on record of successful counter.

trical mines. It remains to be seen
how Sampson is going to solve this
problem, whether by the use Of the
Vesuvius with her dynamite prob
jectiles, by the aid of divers, or by re-
course to the old method of dragging
for the mines with small boats, s in
cable-cutting operations.

Away down South in Cuba where the orange

No incident of the recent multiplica.

tention and been the occasion OF more
comment than that relating to cotton
seed, which in anti.bellum days was the
bane of the Southern farmer, but now
brings him large sums of money. In.
stead OF piling it in the fields to rot, or
dumping it into streams, it is now util.
lied in the manufacture of q dozen differ.
