fire in Company Street. Fire was discovered
in a back entry in house No. Is, and was tor-
tunately extinguished before much damage
had been done. So far as we can learn at
present, the fire seems to have commenced in
a box Of charcoal, but what caused it does
not appear.

The Park Taiiings.

The case now occupying the attention
of the Z. S. District Court is over the
ownership of the Park tailings.
About two years ago the defendants in
this case located the Park tailings, sit
uated on ground covered by patent held
by the plaintiff. The Union Mill and
Mining Company brought suit to oust
the locators. General Clarke appeared
for the defendants and Attorney w. E.
r. Deal represents the plaintiff. 1t is the
contention of the defendants that the
patent held by the plaintiff, which is a
desert land grant, is invalid for the reason
that the ground covered by the patent is
mineral land.

Arthur Ellis, equerry to the Prince Of
Wales, and for over thirty years his
intimate companion, authorizes the fol-
lowing statement of the views of the
Prince on the suggested alliance between
this country and the United States:
Il know that an Anglo-American alli-
ance is eagerly wished for by the Prince
of Wales. He understands fully the ap-
propriateness and value 1t would be I'M
becoming for me to speak in derrogation
of Spain, but assure you our sympathy
is with the United States. 1t is our earn
est desire that Great Britain NAV allv
herself with America. Such an alliance
would hC to the advantage of both, as it
is one suggested by race habits and COM
mercial requirements. l do not hesitate
to say that the united strength of the two
Nations would be sufficient for anv en-
ergencv. We desire formal alliance; it
is an alliance that is natural. for blood is
thicker than water.

SPAIN BACKS DOWN.

The situation in Cuba has radically
changed within two weeks, Spain mas
backed down, but she has not backed
out She has suspended hostihtles IN
Cuba. She does now what she has
defiantly refused to do, for two years.
She does not ask the Cubans 10 sus-
mend hostilities as well. They may do
as they please. She does not ask the
United States to intervene. She simply
stops firing, while she refuses to con
cede the independence of Cuba.
Only the strongest possible motive
could influence this sudden action. One
need not look far to find it. The de-
claration Of the suspension of hostili-
ties is said by the Spaniards to be at
the request of the Pope. But behind
the Pope are the Rothschilds and
bankers, and friendly sovereigns. The
Pope is named because he has infiu-
ence with the Spanish people. He is,
therefore, brought to the front. The
bankers tell Spain that war brings her
only ana dDSOluLSly d lOoo VI CI'DN' N@
the loss of security for the payment OF
the $500, 100000 Cuban debt. If the
Spanish people make trouble, the Pope
and the Powers must take care of it
This is a move, on behalf of Spain
that prevents war at present, unless
Congress declares it. 1t looks also al
if it were the preliminary move in tn
act of finally parting with Cuba. How
that will be brought about is anothe
ouestion. AS Spain has backed down
she may, for the same reason, back ou'
The quiet, but compelling force whlc
makes her suspend hostll1tles, WI
make her finally grant independence
This move of SPANS, ON the polltlcs
chess board, is a skilfull one, even II
is forced against her will.

Blanch K. Bruce, once United States
Senator from Mississippi and for some
wears registrar of the treasury in
Washington, recently died in that city.
He was not a pure negro Whatever
talent he derived from the white blood
in him. it is certain that he took some
strong and valuable points from his
negro ancestry. He called himself
negro. and in his intercourse with the
whites, in public life, seemed to uncon-
sciously recognize the superior race 1t
is said. and we believe the story has
never been in print, that while SENATOR
the wife of his old master came to the
Senate chamber, and told him OF her
poverty and distress, and asked his AID
in getting some situation in one or the
denartments. He at once called two
carriages. In one he placed his former
mistress. and he directed the driver tC
take her to the treasury department
He entered the other carriage ana Iol
lowered her. He would not disturb tn
race prejudices of even his broker
down former owner, by offering to rid
in the same carriage with her. He Sc
cured a. situation for her at once. ii
even refused to sit in her presence
while asking for the place.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The President does not favor the
acknowledgment of the independence
inf Cuba. He says it will do no GOOD,
and embarrass the United States IL
INDEPENDENCE is acknowledged, he must
recognize the Cuban Government, ana
if he does he says there is no telling
what that Government may do.
Therefore he simply asks Congress to
authorize him to intervene, with power
tn use the navy and army, and stop the
war in Cuba If Spain resists, he VIII
fight her. His first point is to stop the
war, prevent further cruelties and feed
the suffering. He is justified in doing
this ON ample ground. If he stops the
war, then he demands that Spain shall
make such terms with Cuba, as VIII
prevent any further trouble. He sits
down" on both sides until terms are
made. which he can accept And he
will accept nothing but the final indie
pendence of Cuba. He does not say So
but it is quite clear that he sees no
other solution of the difficulty.
Congress, however, takes different
view of the case, so far. 1t desires an
acknowledgment of independence hrst'
and an immediate intervention TO es-
tablish it. The people are aroused, ana
are impatient They want something
to be done. Congress reflects this SEN
timent.
But the indications, are, so far as the
latest dispatches throw any Hght on
the subject. that the Presidents policy
will prevail, because it is the moderate
nolicv Naturally the jingoes are mao
with the President, because he does not
"thirst for gore" Congress may over
ride him, but the chances are that his
policy of stopping the war in Cuba al
once and making the independence o.
ruba a secondary matter at present
will prevail. Congress will see that
is another and better way to settle th'
difficulty.
Unless Congress over-rides the Presl
dents policy, the acute stage Of tn
difficulty is now past, and the PROB
abilities of war rapidly decrease. SPAN
has backed down, and that is signlh
cant. The bankers of Europe do no
propose to let Spain foolishly destro,
the value of $4OO, 900 of Cuban
bonds which they hold. That mean
war at the expense of the bond holders
They evidently do not believe there
much fun in it.
