By ORDER of President Mckinley,
Southern troops had to receive their
pay from a negro paymaster or 60 with
out it, and as they were too much in
need to do the latter, they had to &C
cept the situation with the best grace at
their command. But it goes without
saying that should the jingoes involve
this country in another war, recruiting
in the South would not be stimulated
by the fact that the soldiers from this
section would have to take their pay
from the hands of negro.

The DEMOCRATS of New Haven
Connecticut, met yesterday and elect
ed as delegates to their State conven-
ton men pledged to the support OF the
Chicago platform. Yes, the rank and
file of the democrats, in the North a;
we'll as in the South, are democratic
enough to believe that their party, col
l,ctively, is wiser than tits individually
aud that no one man is better than oil
the other men of his party; so they will
abide by the action of their last ma
tional convention until it shall he
changed by that of the next one.

SENATOR KYLE, of South Dakota,
did not die, as it was reported he was
going to do, but has recovered from
his attack of apoplexy, and, though
elected by the populists, says he no
longer belongs to their party, but is a
republican and with the republicans
will stand. Mr.. Kyle was preacher
before he became politician, but the
course he has pursued since he changed
his calling, shows that even the warn
ing he has received has been INSULT
oient to abate his preference for man.

HANNA BEATEN.-A dispatch from
Cleveland, Ohio, says: 1.-THE Hanna
managers Of the republican party in this
county were repudiated in the conven-
ton. The fight between the Foraker
and Hanna factions, which has been
going on for over year, has resulted
in placing in control of the party ma
chine in this county middle-of-the-
road crowd, which heretofore never
took any active party in the factional
war. The Hanna men worked hard TO
save themselves from defeat, but they
succeeded in carrying only nine pre-
cincts out of twenty-three. The differ
ences which have existed have disrupted
the party to such an extent that had it
not been for the Soldiers Home vote
about 1000 republicans-the democrats
would have carried it last year. The
delegates have now administered o
crushing rebuke to both the Foraker
aud Hanna followers, and in the selec-
ton of candidates nominated men who
belong to no faction.

TRANSFORMATIONS NOTES

General Correa, the Spanish minister
of war, has ordered that in the evacua-
ton of Cuba and Porto Rico the sick
are to leave first.
Aguinaldo, in a message to the Asso
ciated Press, says the relations of his
people with the Americans have been
and will continue to be of the most
friendly nature.
Spanish prisoners at Santiago COM
plain that Americans treated them
like criminals, but, on the other hand,
il is said that the Spaniards acted as il
they were on free excursion.
A dispatch from Manila says the in
surgents urged by constant rumors OF
the intention of the Americans to re.
establish Spanish rule, continue active
ly recruiting their army. Hundreds Of
men in Manila are enlisting daily and
troops are drilling everywhere.
The American evacuation commits
sioners have consulted the government
at Washington in regard to the Spanish
proposal that the time for the evacus-
ton of Cuba be extended to February
IS. The American commissioners IN
derstand that the evacuation must be
rapid and if the Spanish Transatlantic
Line cannot furnish steamers enough to
carry ell the troops in short time,
other vessels will have to be furnished.
An attempt is reported to have been
made to kill Aguinaldo by putting poi
son in his soup. A steward, it is said,
saw Spanish prisoner who had been
allowed freedom make movement
which appeared like tampering with q
bowl of soup intended for Aguinaldo.
The steward tasted spoonful of the
soup, and, the story goes, fell dead from
its effects. Eleven Franciscan friars are
alleged to have been engaged in the
conspiracy.

part of an estate that had been many
years in settlement. 1t was intimsted
that the coins had been out of circula-
ton for more than seventy-fve years.
