The American Congress responded to the world for the preservation of peace and order, and I have faith in that promise. Since the protocol has beer. signed be; tween the United States and spain ana American troops sre beginning to occdpy the country there is no necessity for an army and the quicker the men return to their occupations the sooner Cuba will recover her normal condition.
 A commission will be selected to go to Washington to lay the situation before President Mckinley, so that. if possible, some action may be taken by the United States to relieve the situation. General Calixto Garcia will probably be chairman, and other members most prominently spoken of are Manuel Sanguilly and Con gales Ianuza.

HENRY MARTIN WILL
 KEEP HIS PROMISES
The Falstaffian Sheriff Will Faith fully Serve the People Who
 Elected Him,

Henry Martin, Sheriff -elect of this county, feels deeply grateful to the peo- pie of San Francisco for their confidence in having elected him to that important office. When seen last night the man of Falstaffian proportions said; T am highly elated over my success for the req son that I owe it mainly to the hard work and unceasing efforts of my friends in my cause. 1 do not wish to appear egotistical, but I believe that not many men are blessed with more or better friends than myself, and this fact has stood me in good stead. Another cause which undoubtedly aided me was the superior organization of the Republican party, in itself no small factor in an elec- tion contest. Then again, enthusiasm for our gallant standard-bearer, Henry T. Gage, materially enhanced my chances. In relating the causes of my election I must not forget The Call which really performed wondrous work in my behalf.
 'The contest throughout was agreeably conducted, and as to my opponent 1 will say that had l been defeated it would have been by thorough gentleman in every sense of the word. He is tremely popular, but the causes I have mentioned conspired to turn the tide against him.
 ''I did not enter public life for any gain attached thereto. l honestly believe that it is the duty of every man to serve the people who place faith in him, and any man should consider it a great honor.
 ''I can only promise what I have reiter- ated all through the campaign I will en- deavor to discharge the duties of the inn portant office to which the people have elected me to the best of my ability, and should l make any mistakes the fault will be one of the head and not the heart. Again l thank all my friends who have assisted me in this contest, and can ontty assure them that they have my unbound ed gratitude.

SPAIN PROMISES TO

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted. 1898, by James Cor
 don Bennett.
 HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 9.-It is an- nounced that through the efforts of Cap- tain General Blanco Spain has promised
 to send $6 000 to pay troops now in Cuba. This being true, further difficulty in embarking the troops Is not likely.
 The American Commission has reason for believing that an agreement with the Spaniards will be hurried by the result of of yesterdays elections. For some req
 son 1t was believed here that Demo- cratic sweep in the United States would have benefited the Spanish cause. General Butler is so convinced that an agreement will now be speedily arrived at that he Is preparing to take a short trip home SANTA CRUZ DEL SUR, Cuba, Nov.

 "I'll find out" said the roundsman.
 Glickman, a few minutes afterward was escorted to a side room, where he was told to lay his head on a table. Then a lawyer produced a jackknife and after considerable saving succeeded in cutting off the remaining side of the mustache. There still remained a stubby growth of hair on his upper lip, but 1t was evenly distributed.

but small part of the band It was estimated that 1000 doctors were present on the invitation of the guild and that they had brought with them 1900 allies.
 The Bishop of London preached the sermon, contending that the true view of the human body was overlooked for many ages. The body was despised as men were ignorant of it's real powers, functions and connection with their per manent self. The conception of self, the conception even of soul and spirit, could not be realized apart from the body. There was time hen science rather mocked at the possibility of a resurrec- ton of the mortal frame but that, the he had heard of great biologist saying that IT there was resurrection it must be resurrection of the body. It was iTn- possible to conceive of the body and spirit existing without one another. That being so, what marvellous prospect was open to the medical man. He might say that the marks of his skill were stamped on certain human frames, to be carried by them into eternity. This might seem inn aginative, but the doctor who took such view would feel a higher sense of re- sponsibtlity. Speaking of the medical missionary college contemplated by the guild, the Bishop said it would be of in- calcuiable benefit to the mission cause
 TO go among the heather and teach them py practice more than precept that their bodies were capable of being raised to an an. unknown height of glory was an ob- 1ect worthy of the deep interest of the medical profession, and of all who thanked God for the high standard of the profession in this cOuNtry and felt as every family did that the medical at- tendant was their best friend.

CHEAP POSTAGE TO ENGLAND.

Letter to the editor of the London Times.
 American Government to inaugurate penny postage with England will be read with general satisfaction. It Is only right that this great branch of the Eng lish-speaking race of the world should not delay in joining us in this new departure as you predicted in your leading article
 It frees me from considerable en- barrassment because for some time to come New York must be the port for Canada, and our enemies did not fail to point out the difficulty and even absurdity of establishing penny postage with Canada and twopenny-halfpenny postage with the United States-through which country our English letters would have to pass to Canada.
 Those of our friends who said they would only support me if 1 confined my efforts to obtaining imperial penny post age were not aware that Gin my, opinion) there are more British-born subjects in the United States than in Canada, Aus tralia and Africa.
 At all events, these figures are worthy of consideration; Total number of letters sent from the United Kingdom to the United States last year. 11,50O,000; total number sent to the colonies of Aus tralasia, Canada and Africa last year from the United Kingdom, 10 SS0 900.
 It is curious, too, to notice that the esti- mated loss to the British Government by the. establishment of penny postage to America will amount to exactly the same sum as that to be incurred by the estab- HShment Of imperial penny poStaSe-Nlz. about e75 900 for the first year. I have calculated a loss of 112d per letter on 12 900 900 letters.
 The whole of this money could be saved if the postal authorities would have the courage to put on a sensible foundation the question of the cost of carriage of the mails to America. We paid last year e10S 000 for the service. Thirty thousand pounds would have been ample.
 The cost of a firSt-clasS passage to America including cabin accommodation and food, is e20. The charge for convey ing the same weight of letters as the pas senger weighs Is G37 los. The cost of conveying an equal weight of newspapers is about G3 I commend this problem to the attention of our excellent man of business. the Postmaster General
