According to the Washington CORE
spondence Ct the New York Journal, the
bond sharks have gotten their Cuban deal
down TO two hundred million dollars.
Formerly they wanted the American peo-
pie TO give them twice that principal. It
is foolish in them to scale the steal AT
all. They will get four hundred millions
quite as readily as two hundred or one
hundred millions: by which we mean
that they do not stand an earthly show
to get cent.

When The Times some weeks ago made
the exclusive announcement that Senator
Proctor had gone TO Florida and would
leave soon for Cuba on special mission
for the President, tremendous efforts
were made TO deny the story Several
newspapers were thrown into spasms be-
cause they did not get the story until aft
er The Times had printed it. and were
incessant in their denias of its accuracy
Now all these papers, and none more so
than the rankest Administra ton organ
are telling of the mission of Senator
Proctor, and the report he will have to
make TO the President upon his return
Everybody who reals The Times knew
that Senator Proctor had gone on a Sc
cret mission, and there is no news in the
fact that he is now returning to make Il
report 10 the President.

lFrom the New York Tribune)
The evil that Weyler did lives after him
in Cuba. To his malefc energies may be
justly attributed nine-tenths of all Spain 5
embarrassments in that island, and an
equal proportion of all the tensity Of rela-
tions between Spain and the United
States.

There will be a pretty fight in the
Senate when the Powderly nomination
comes up. AS nobody knows Powderly
was made Commissioner General of Inn
migration because he went on the stump
for Mckinley and talked for Republican
ism and sound money" He was repu-
dated by the labor organizations but in
some way their opposition was with
drawn. Friday the committee considered
the nomination and asked an unfavorable
report. II now remains to be seen if the
Senate will uphold the committee. The
silver men on the committee all voted
against rewarding Powderly for what he
had done and if the silver men stand
together in the Senate the commissioner
will undoubtedly be rejected Mr. Hanna
is having hard work of it delivering his
campaign goods.

The heir apparent to the Belgian throne
was at the Capitol yesterday and at
tracted an unusual amosnt of attention.
1t is not often that q simon-pure prince
of the royal blood gets to the Capitol,
and even the staid Old clerks who would
not move an inch to see any body of nota-
bles gathered in, the; fringes of the crowd
to see the haired scion of the
house of Belgium. Under the chaperon-
age Of Vice-Presideft Hobart and Ser
geant-at-Arms Bright, and accompanied
by his suite, the prince was shown the
points of interest in the big building
He seemed most pleased with the SUI
preme Court chamber and Statuary Hail.
The prince WASH visibly annoyed at the
republican freedom (which permitted a
constant stream of the curious to tramp
along at his heels. although the Capitol
police did their best to reduce this to Il
minimum.

The sunset organ OF the ADMINISTRATOR
having, on yesterday. learned that the
Maine was blown up, published an inter
esting portrait of the late vessel. This
discovery of news, only a month after
the fact, is such an improvement upon
the past history of the sunset organ that
we feel compelled to offer our congratu-
lations. Enterprise, like other desirable
qualities, is a thing of slow growth; but
nobody should despair OF getting there
in due course of the centuries.

European Alliance Scares.

The ministry of Senior Sagasta is
making a most praiseworthy effort to
make it appear that Spain Will have
an active ally in some European power
when America gets ready to admin
lister the castigation which really ought
to have been administered on the day
after the Havana massacre. 1t is I'M
fortunate for our Madrid friends that
they are unable to spread the neces-
sary mendacities as fast as the gov
ernments sought to be implicated can
deny them.
Yesterday the Spanish capital was
alive with the joy of hearing that Ger
many was about to come to the rescue
of little Alfonzo. Today it will be cor
respondingly depressed to learn that
the foreign office at Berlin has sent
out bulletin to the effect that on no
account will the kaiser interfere TO
save Spain from the just wrath OF
America.
1t is satisfactory to know that out
side of the imperial family of Austria
Spain has not genuine sympathizer
in all Europe Modern civilization
does not look with favor upon the sick
ening atrocities of a savage beast like
the hyena Weyler, and the worlds ap-
prevail awaits the application of the
rod OF punishment about to fall upon
the shoulders of the nation guilty Of
him.
European interference in our present
purpose is not thing to be feared in
the least. 1t would not be so, even if
il were intended, and nobody appears
to suspect an intention if we except
Mr.. Hanna. In his case perhaps the
wish is father to the thought"

For example in the trial of a charge
against the accused p, we hear testimony
that c indorsed DIS name on a check
drawn on DIS order. without even any
assertion that c was not authorized so
to do; or hear an expert assert that c
forged DIS name merely because c
simulated DIS handwriting, there being
likewise no evidence and not even the as
surance of the judge advocate that he
has evidence. to be introduced later. to
show that c was not authorized to sign
DIS name. But what has this TO do with
3? Is he to bear C's sins even though
it should be shown that has done
wrong?
Such things in a civil court Of justice
are unthinkable. Well did Gen. MERCER
explain TO NJ. Labor in the late lola
trial. Military justice is not your jus
tice." No court of justice would tolerate
from n lawyer the statement that the OPP
posing side is preventing him from in
PRODUCING evidence which would send his
clients antagonist to the penitentiary
without requiring the production of the
clearest evidence to establish such fact

judice the defendant. Yet court-martial

But when Frascuelo is laid in his grave
and the people there have had time to
realize not only what has taken place at
Washington in connection with the pass
age of the $50 900 bill, but likewise the
defiance of the action of the United
States in sending another warship of the
Importance of the Montgomery TO take
the place of the Inflated Maine and
alongside its wreck in Havana harbor, Sa-
gasta will be driven to abandon Office,
covered with popular execration, or else
to Immediately declare war.

The people of Madrid are convinced that
the American Commission OF Inquiry into
the Maine disaster will report in favor of
the official responsibility of Spain for the
catastrophe, and this crowning, and. ac-
cording to Spanish ideas, unmerited in
suit will put an end, once and for all, TO
any further hesitation on the part of the
nation. 1t is absolutely impossible for the
present situation to continue, since all
trade and commerce here are at a stand
still. no one being willing to embark up
on any enterprise with the certainty Of
war staring him in the face.
No one imagines for one instant that
there is any possibility of peace being
maintained, and everyone SCOTS at the
ministerial utterances on the subject. for,
as ii is pointed out, even We're Spain not
practically forced by her difficulties to re-
sort to war as the only honorable issue
therefrom. President McKinley's demand
for $4,000, 600 vote gives a positive GER
tainty TO an imminent conflict, since,
were ne to get the money, place the con-
tracts and then not go TO war with Spain
he would be overwhelmed with popular
odium and censure from Democrats and
Republicans alike.

CAPITOL GOSSIP.


No Republican member of the House
will have a greater difficulty in obtaining
denomination than Hon. Henry c. Lou
denslager, of the FRst New Jersey Dis
trict. Mr.. LoudhnsiAger is now serving
his third term, and when, in 1896, he be-
came candidate for denomination he
entered into an agreement with State
Senator Stokes that fSr the senator's sup
port then he weIldssupport the senator
for the ConareSssior4l nomination next
fall 1t is now taaimed by the friends of
Senator Stokes stIIa1 Mr., Loudenslager
has forgotten this promise and that he
believes he can be nominated fourth
time. Senator Stokes is beyond doubt
the most popular man in South Jersey,
and he has announced his determination
to be 4 candidate against Mr.. Louden-
slayer. The fight will be bitter one,
and if carried on until election DAY IL Is
bound to result in the election OF a Dem
ocrat from that district, the first to be
elected from there in ten years.
A member of the lower House who rep
resents Massachusetts said yesterday
that Senator Lodge is very much worried
over the outlook for his reelection. The
next legislature will select his successor,
and two difficulties. said the member,
confront him. The first is that he may
not be able to secure the Republican in
dorsement for the office if the legislature
should be Republican. Senator Lodge, ac-
cording to this member, is of a cold and
unsympathetfc nature, and has not made
a friend able to be of service to him since
he has been in the Senate, when the
question of electing his successor came
up. The member added that another
thing which worries Mr.. Lodge is the
present indication that the Massachusetts
legislature may not have a Republican
majority. and that in such an event
George Fred Williams would in all prob
ability be the successor of the descendant
| of the Cabots.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1898-03-13

An expert on the proceedings of the
House said yesterday: THE ablest de-
batter on the floor is Gen. Grosvenor of
Ohio; the best parliamentarian is Mr..
Richardson of Tennessee; the most effect
i've combination of the two is Mr. Nc
MILAN of Tennessee; the most logical and
comprehensive debater is Mr.. De Almond
of Missouri, and the most successful
dodger of issues is Mr.. Dingley of Maine.
1t is not often that member of Con-
gress secures permission TO illustrate his
speeches, but during the debate on the
Indian bill Congressman Knowles, of
South Dakota, secured that permission
by submitting to the House a map show
ing the Indian reservations in his State
and referring 10 them in such n way that
the map had to be reproduced. His
speech appears in Fridays Record, there
fore, with single column miniature
map of South Dakota, showing all the
counties and the Indian reservations.
