The Spanish Cabinet, with the object of
relieving the terrible distress which pre-
walls among the poorer classes this Win
ter, and OF putting an end TO the bread
riots which are reported from many parts
of the kingdom. has reduced the duty on
breadstuffs This. of course. will tend To
still further excite the resentment of the
land-owning classes against the adminis-
tration and weaken the position of the
latter.
In government circles effort is bens,
made to convey the belief that nothing
was discussed at the cabinets last meet
ing except the reduction of the bread
stuff duties on the ground that the situ-
alton with regard to the United States
was not such as to require consideration.
This is. however, ridiculous. for every
one knows perfectly well that the Cabi-
net meeting was specially summoned in
consequence of the critical aspect of
affairs with America. and the difficulty
of reconciling SagaSta's policy with the
wishes, nay, the passionate demands, of
the people. If the relations with the
United States are as pleasant as Sagasta
would have everyone believe. it is
strange that the government should be
deVoting so much care and money to

simultaneously Emperor Francis Jo
seph declared that he would no longer toll
crate Princess Philippe at the courts of
Vienna and of Pesth, while as a climax
the Duke of Schleswig- Holstein has, by
orders of his brother-in-law, Emperor
William, now broken off his engagement
on the ground of the scandalouS conduct
of the mother of his betrOthed. The duke
has certainly not acted willingly in the
matter, for he is by no means rich, and
Princess Dorothy is not only pretty girl,
but also great heiress, her father being
enormously wealthy, while her mother
likewise possesses a very large fortune in
her own right.
At the same time this action, coming
from the duke. savors of the donkeys
kick, for he is quite as drunken and as
dissolute and infinitely more coarse than
the father of Princess Dorothy. and has
been the hero of so many unsavory scan
dals at Berlin. some of them financial. but
the majority connected with the fair SEX
that he has repea tedly been under arrest
by orders of the kaiser and banished from
the court of Berlin for months together
One of his most public scrapes was when
he appeared at Charlottesburg race, at
which the emperor and empress were
present with a uotorious American wom-
an by his side oil the box of his coach. his
servants wearing their state liveries. For
this piece of bad taste he was subjected
TO three months arrest, whilst his fair
companion was expelled the same even
ing from German territory by the police.
After all, perhaps Princess Dorothy de
serves rather to be congratulated on her
escape from such a husband than to be
sympathized with on account of being
Tilted.

him that the first year of his administra-
ton had ended in so satisfactory man

Gov. Tanner some time ago started out
to be u candidate for the United States

be remarked right here that Mr. Cullom
is the political creator of Gov Tanner and
has such friends in the State that Gov
Tanner would be able to do little for him.
self without the aid of the senior senator
from Illinois. Gov. Tanner had however
made considerable progress in his own
behalf in certain parts of the State, when
he suddenly ran up against the hard fact
that the entire Mckinley influence in the
State was behind Cullom. and that he
himself had no possible show of securing
election to the United States Senate to
succeed Culiom. Gov. Tanner is now
seeking TO make an alliance with Senator
Cullom for the purpose of securing his re-
election as governor. Senator Cullom,
while not repelling the advances of Coy.
Tanner, is somewhat offish for the rea-
son that he does not need the services of
Gov. Tanner, and wishes to teach that
official a lesson before he again gives him
his aid and assistance.

So promisingly that the Administration
mask is being thrown off with regard
to it. and Republican senators and
members of Congress are being daily in
structed and dragooned into accepting
the scheme when the day comes to
spring it upon the country.
1t takes ones breath away to think
that any American administration
could have the downright impudence to
offer such a proposition to Congress,

this one not only possesses it, but Is

furthermore, is imbued with the idea

Miss Estelle Reel, of Wyoming, who
has been in the city for several days, and
who was presented to several of his col
leagues by Senator Warren of Wyoming,
has given the Eastern statesman good
idea of the Western type Of woman, who
exercises the right to vote and partici-
several years ago and has filled an cleo
tive office in Wyoming for eight years.
She was county superintendent of in
struction for two terms in the county in
which the State capital is situated, and
four years ago was elected State super
intendent of instruction by an overwhelm-
ing vote. In connection with the COVER
ner she has full charge of the prison and
charity work of the State and the busi-
ness pertaining to the public lands of
Wyoming. Miss Reel is here on business
connected with the Interior Department
in relation to some public lands of the
State, and her method of doing business
at the department has been a revelation
to many of the officials who have not
been accustomed to come in contact with
such a thorough business woman. Incl
dentally ii may be said that Miss Reel is
a candidate for appointment of superin-
tendent of Indian schools, and her large
experience in this direction in the West
equips her in every way for this respon-
sible position. She has very influential
senatorial backing. and it is not impossi-
BILE that she may get the appointment.

The House yesterday passed a bill
whicir Was passed by the Senate May 19
last. and which. as soon as it receives
the signature of the President, will dis
pose of a claim that has been contended
for in Congress for thirty years. During
the war the Government seized from
S. r. Austin cotton valued at $500, 600 sold
it, and turned the money into the Treas
ury. From that day to this Austin. and
then his heirs, have been fighting to re-
cover the money represented by this cot
ton. The only surviving heir now is
Florine A. Albright, who before her mar
riage To Mr.. Albright, was a clerk in the
Treasury Department. Mr.. Albright was
himself clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment. appointed by Cleveland While
serving here he studied law and is now
practicing in New York. He and his wife
have kept up the fight in behalf of this
claim and by the action of the House yes
terday they will receive a trihe less than
$50 600 money now overdue a Just debt
TO be paid by the Government after thir-
ty years of worry delay, priyation. and
incessant lighting for the rights of the
claimants.

Members of the Illinois delegation have
received notice from Gov. Tanner that he
has definitely decided not to call an extra
session of the legislature for the purpose
of rcapportioning the State. For some
time this proposition has been discussed
among leading Republicans, many of
whom believe that unless the State is
gerrymandered the Republicans in the
next election will lose several districts
now filed by Republican Congressman.
The influences against the reapportion-
ment scheme however. come from such
influential Congressman and such news
paper pressure that Gov Tanner has been
compelled to refrain from issuing the call
which was predicted several weeks ago.
Among the most energetic opponents of
the reapportionment scheme are Repre-
sentative Hopkins, Hit and Ross, each
of whom represent very strong Repub-
lican district. Some of the members
from other districts have criticised these
gentlemen severely because their opposi-
tion is said to be due to a fear that some
of their strong counties might be taken
away in order TO equalize the apportiOn-
ment throughout the State, and it is
claimed that each of these gentlemen
lost sight of the general good of the
party in an effort TO maintain himself in
IL
lent TO an election. Each of the promi-
nent newspapers of Northern Illinois in
dorsed the policy of these representatives.
Gov. Tanner insisted that unless the State
was reapportoned there would be de-
cided loss in the Republican representa-
tion from Illinois in the Fifty-siXth Con-
gress, and he argued that in the event
the election of a President was thrown
into the House, these votes might be
able to control that election, and that if
the vote in the House were at all close on
party questions the five or six votes that
would be surely lost to Illinois might be
of the greatest Importance to the Repub-
lican party. Gov. Tanner is now in New
York, but for several days has had his
representatives in Washington interview
ing members and the Illinois sena tors He
has discovered that no reapportionment
scheme can be carried. The opposition

power, and which is essential to put
