mares and colts will be disposed of, in
addition to the property. Director is
now Il years old, but is wonderfully
well preserved. Moore paid $4,000
for him six years ago. Director was
a high class performer in his day, his
record of 2:17 being then very fast for
a stallion. Director is sixth on the
list of winning sires for the aggregate
money won in six years ending in
1897, and during 1892, 1893 and 1894
he held a leading position, being top
of the list in 1898. His get has won
more than 100000 during the last six
years. Red Wilkes is % years old.

uncle Sam were willing to buy? The
chances are that taking advantage Of
the pacific character of the American
people this is just what the Spanish
cabinet means, and that the president
in asking congress for an appropri-
alton has really called the bluff of the
Spanish minister. Spain has already
offered to sell Cuba; and the circum-
stances under which she was disposed
to do so though little known in this
'ountry are worth recalling at the
resent time
About sixty years ago when Louis
Philippe was seeking to strengthen
his hold upon the French throne,
Queen Christina of Spain, being sorely
pressed for cash, sent a confidential
courier to Paris to see Prince Talley-
rand. The Spanish envoy was Cam
puzano and he brought an introduce
duction to Senior Aquado, then a
prominent Spanish banker at the
French capital. Lord Palmerston
was then the terror Of all the chan
cellors of Europe, and secrecy was
important for the success of the mis-
sion. The Spanish envoy was author
lied by Queen Christina to sell Cuba
and Porto Rico to France for s32 ,O00,-
900 and the Philippine islands, which,
it is said, were thrown in as a make
weight for s10,5O0,O00. When the
Spanish banker Aquado received the
envoy from Madrid he sent rather
nervous and mysterious note to Tai
leyrand limiting at matters Of great
mutual profit, and the astute French
statesman made an Appointment with
Aquado and the envoy of Queen Chris
ina, not at his chambers but at the
private house of his secretary. Very
soon afterwards Talleyrand saw the
citizen king and made an appointment
at the Tuilleries for Aquado and Cam
puzano whereupon, all sitting around
a table at the head of which was the
king, the sale OF Cuba and Porto Rico
was accented at the queens offer of
thirty million taeIs, the equivalent If
which is s32.000,000.
Louis Philippe was accused of
meanness in everything and was q
huckster by nature So after the con-
tract in respect of Cuba was signed
the king thoueht he would cut the
price of the Philippine islands down
from ten to seven millions of taels

ELECTION A FRAUD.
Spanfards Stuff the Ballot Box il
Cuba.

Havana, March 30.-Sunday's cleo
ton to the Spanish cortes was entirely
farcical. In many districts of Ha-
vana not more than six bona fide votes
were cast out of hundreds eligible. In
one province in the interior, with a
total Of over 1000 qualified voters, the
number of votes polled was fifty-nine.
The government denies these state
ments and the censor refuses to allow
them to be sent direct over the wire:
but all the local papers indicate the
facts plainly. intimating that the bal
lot boxes were stuffed. 1t now ap-
pears that the results show twenty
two autonomists and eight censerva-
tive delegates were chosen, conserva-
tive candidates losing in Artemisa
and Cardenas in spite of an agreement
to the contrary entered into by the
government.

FIRES A SHOT.

Key West, April "a tug endeav-
ored to pass the flagship New York too
close last night and did not answer the
signals of the warship, whereupon a
four-pound shot was fired across her
bow. Those ON board the tug re-
ceived severe fright. After the IN
vestigation which followed the tug was
allowed to proceed into the harbor.
The call to quarters and the firing of
the shot were done with extraor.iin-
airy rapidity, showing to what a pitch
OF alertness the fleet has attained.

ship Billiard Game.

Chicago, April 3.-Frank Ives de-
feated Jacob Schaefer last night in a
match for the championship at
eighteen-inch balk line billiards by
score of 600 to 427. He had to work
hard for the honor. but there was not
a moment when he did not hold his
CID m aster safe at all points of the
game. Jake played splendid bill
lizards, as a rule, but the strain of the
game told oQ h N after his high run
of 80 in the twenty-fourth inning and
In eight innings he made but IA points.
Ia the meantime Tvs had pushed up
169 and clinched the game. Ives was
gwen fair show by the spectators

keep up his wo k. The ore was:

SCRAP OVER SALARIES.
Iowa Legislature in a Wrangle Owe
Pay of State Employees.

Des Moines, April 1.-The general
assembly did not adjourn yesterday,
but will at noon today. The men,
bers of the senate got into a wrangle
over a joint resolution reducing the
salaries of some of the employees In
the state house, which could not be
unraveled. The opponents of the
resolution, nineteen strong, hung to-
gether and refused to permit the pas
sage of the omnibus appropriation bill.
The general assembly cannot adjourn
until the bill has passed. After ad-
journment for the day the leading
members had a conference and de-
vised a compromise on the salaries
in dispute. The wrangle brought out
some of the best oratory.

A REGIMENT RAISED BY KISSES.

The somewhat romantic interest
in this beautiful and romantic wo-
man Jean, duchess Of Gordon) has
been lately revived, when the brave
deeds of the Gordon Highlanders have
been so conspicuously brought before
the notice of the public; for it was
entirely owing to the duchess of Cor
dOn's loyal activity that the regiment
was originally raised in Aberdeenshire.
The writer (as one of her great
grandchildren may perhaps be par
doned for the feeling of pride in be-
ing permitted to recall many Of the
personal incidents and traditions sur

most popular regiment, which now

This fact, however, utterly disproves
the allegations so often made that
Spain would part with her last peseta
and her last man before she would
yield to Cuba. She was ready then to
sell the island sooner than pledge the
crown jewels, and who knows but she
is ready to do so uow, provided the
consideration is proportionate to
SPANS desperate necessities. Before
