WHAT GOMEZ UTTERs.
Spaniards Will Not Be Prosecuted If
Cubans Triumph

New York. Jan. 6-The Herald prints
an interview with Gomez from it's cor
respondent.
The correspondent found Gomez in
the best of health and spirits, and fully
convinced that the long struggle is
drawing to a close. The intrageantes
OF Cuba" said General Gomez, have
been the only ones willing to continue
the struggle, because they feared that
Cuban triumph would result in their
prosecution and the confiscation of
their property. They are absolutely
mistaken. I, Maxine Gomez, whose
word has never been broken, assure
them OF absolute protection.
7 know these people represent the
thrifty business element Of the island
and believe tkey are destined to rank
among the most valued citizens of the
republic. The triumph of our cause
viii bring to them assurance and per
mission to follow their vocations in
peace. There win be no persecution,
either political or social. All We ask
Of them is to help us in building up
the fortunes of the island and repair
ing the wastes of war. I say the same
thing, too, to the Spanish officers in
the field. They have been fighting US,
not because they hate Cuba. but be-
cause they love Spain. They have
proved themselves to be loyal sons of
the motherland, and when they have
laid down their arms, we viii gladly
extend to them the right hand of fell
lowship. We will bury the bloody past
and so forward, shoulder to shoulder,
to build I'D Cuba'S laboring classes
which have been almost destroyed, and
we shall need men to till the soil. The
rank and file of the Spanish army will
fill the gap
Speaking of terms on which Cuba
might win freedom, General Gomez re-
iteTated his statement that Cuba is
still waiting to purchase her liberty.
1t is believed that $3.50 600, 900 would be
an equitable amount now. He said ne
had no doubt that an arrangement
could be made with American capital

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 5.-At the solicita-
ton of a number of members of the

well as the national committee of the
Peoples party, Chairman Milton Park

ganization, the question of meeting,

The Dallas chieftain of the middle-of-

ment. The meeting will be held at the

SENATOR BRIGGS ADVICE.
Ineffective to Move the Three Gold
Democrats In the Combine.

Democrats In the Combine.
Columbus, O.. Jan. 5.-The scenes at
the Neil House and the Great Southern
today were continued with increased
bitterness and counter charges, but no
changes are believed to have been
made at either headquarters.
At the Great Southern hotel are the
Democratic and Kurtz headquarters CO.
operating and occupying adjoining
suites of rooms. At the rooms of the
Democratic managers there was quite
stir over kilograms from ex-senator
T3rice, advising the Democratic mem
bers to vote for a Democrat for United
States senator, and not become an at
tachment to the boiling Republicans on
national issues.
OF the So Democrats in the legislature
only three are said to agree with Brice
on the financial question, and it is said
they will not break away from the
course that is agreed upon by their
Democratic colleagues. If three Demo-
Gratis should break away from the COM
bine. Hanna could be elected.
The reports about Brice taking part
caused the Democratic steering com
mittee to talk about John r. Mclean
being the Democratic free silver candi-
date, and if the combine" did not go
through on the first ballot there would
De a long deadlock, with votes cast for
Hanna and Bushnell on one side, and
for Mclean and Rrice on the other side
Representative Jones, one of the doubt
full members, was not in his seat today,
but remained at his hotel.

SPINNERS WILL STRIKE.
Voters to Resist Proposed Reduction
of Wages.

New Bedford, Mass. Jan. 5.-The
spinners' union tonight unanimously
voted to resist by strike the proposed
reduction of wages The members in
this city number about 700. At the
meeting tonight the sentiment was gen
orally expressed that the card and
picker room associations would also
strike
The informal ballot favOring a strike
was not made formal as it was de-
cided to wait a few days TO see if q
way of effecting a settlement was pos
sible. Committees on conference with
the manufacturers and with committees
from the other labor unions in the city,
in case of a strike, were appointed to
arrange for the management. Samuel
Ross of the local spinners' union, who
is also secretary of the National Spin
ners' union, will call a meeting of the
executive council of the national union
to be held in Boston next Wednesday,
when the question of sanctioning a
strike by the spinners in this city will
be settled.

WOMEN IN THE PLOT.
Active Interest Taken By Wives of
the Legislators.


Columbus, O., Jan. 5.-The Hanna
meE laugh at the attempt to secure in
dictments against certain workers, and
say that the men who are spending the
money are the ones who raise the cry
about bribery. The cry of the opposi-
ton has been that of 'bossism' and
Doodle during the contest.
At the anu-HaGna headquarters they
are confidently claiming a new acces-
sion tonight, but refuse to give the
name Of the member. Senator Burke
and several other members got away
from the pressure tonight by returning
to their homes.
Following close on the reports about
Mrs. Griffith taking a deep interest in
the vote of her husband on the senator
ship, comes a report that Mrs Snider.
the wife of Representative Snider OF
Greene county, is taking an interest in
the contest, and is favorable to the OPP
position. Mr.. Snider attended the Re
publican house coucus last Saturday
night and voted for Bowel for speaker
on Monday, but the opposition are con-
stantly after him to vote against Mr.
Hanna.
In connection with the reports about
Representative Griffith, especially about
the preference of Mrs. Griffith, there are
reports OF the wives of other Republi-
can members being enlisted in the con-
test. And there are reports that the
wives Of some Democratic members are
urging their husbands not to vote for
any Republican senator but to stand
out for q Democrat. Mr.. KurtZ and his
associates are reported to be unable
to control the anti-Hanna Republican
members for a Democratic senator, and
the Mclean managers are believed to
have some trouble to get all the Demo-
Gratis to support a Republican for SEN
ator.
Governor Bushnell and members of
his staff attended the theatre tonight
and an incident occurred to cause much
cheering for Hanna.

PORT ARTHUR QUESTION.
GENERAL BOOTHS sEND-oFF.
Great Salvation Army Demonstration
In London.

London, Jan. Six thousand per-
sons, most of them members of the Sal
walton Army. took part at Albert hall
tonight in demonstration of farewell
TO General William Booth, who is about
TO sail for the United States, to assist
in organizing great additions to the
ARM.
Three brass bands gave music, and
in the body of the hall We're a thousand
Salvation lassies who performed theat-
rical movements with red, white and
blue scarfs.
General Booth, on entering the hall.
received a tremendous ovation, the
masses forming themselves into ini-
tations of the American and British
flags.
Lieutenant Coombs presented an ad-
dress from the English Salvation Army,
to be delivered to the American Army.
General Booth said: II am going where
1 shall unquestionably receive a gener-
Gus welcome. Whatever jealousies or
antiquated antiDathies may be in the
hearts os others, the SalVationiSts on
both sides of the water have only af-
lection and confidence for each other.
We have had our sorrows and storms.
In the United States one of the greatest
sorrows that could come to d general
of God has come to me. One of my
sons has departed from his fathers
side, AID from the Salvation Army.
Il do not bear him ill-will for this,
though I think he is very much in the
wrong; he is still my son. OF contro-
versy or disDutation I'll have none. I
am the friend of all men,
The meeting cheered a cable message
from John Addison Porter, on behalf of
President Mckinley. In the dispatch
Mr.. Porter said: The report of the
progress of your philanthropic work is
one of which you have a right to be
proud. 1 can assure you the president
fully realizes the effective relief work
now being done on such a large scale"

OF changes were made on either side
1t was the purpose of the managers in
not holding any caucus to be able to
keep their own secret until the ballot
ing begins week hence. It is be-
heved that secret compacts are being
made that will not become known I'M
til the votes of members are recorded.
The situation today is the same as after
the caucuses Of Saturday night, and
the organization of the legislature on
Monday. All those who changed their
preferences yesterday were brought
back during the night to their original
places.

CLIPPERTON ISLAND.
Straight Facts Relieve the Mexicans
of All Blame

of All Blame.
Mexico City, Jan. "a high official
of the department of foreign relations
said today regarding the Clipperton
island incident:
THE sending of the gunboat Demo-
crata on a visit of inspection to por-
lions of the Mexicans' territory was
de factO, attended with no conflict or
difficulty with the individual Ameri-
cans found there, and in no event could
that visit have given rise to interna-
tiOnal questions, inaSmuch as the Oc-
cupation of the island, if occupation it
can be called, was the act of private
persons having no official character.
The American flag was found flying
there, but the Americans themselves,
on hearing from the lips of Mexican
officers that the island was Mexican
territory, hauled it down and allowed
the party of Mexicans to run up the
flag of this country without the
slightest opposition either in act or
word.
There was no ill-feeling or bitter
ness between Americans found on the
island and the expeditionary party On
the contrary, nothing but good will and
friendly disposition was displayed on
both sides. The claim made in behalf
of France by La Liberte of Paris is
regarded as a canard. France never
held the island

Hanna's Street Railway Enterprises
Get Black Eye From Combine.
Columbus, Jan. 5.-The feature of the
day was the passage in the house, as
it's first measure, and by unanimous
vote of the combine, of the bill re-
pealia>g the law for 50-year franchises
to street railways. This repeating bill
was introduced by Representative
Bromley Of Cleveland, who is one of
the Republicans opposing Hanna. Mr..
Bromley spoke for his bill. MIR. Box
well replied and charged Bromley with
using this bill for defense and bunco
at this time. Bromley said he voted
for the 50-year franchise law in the
last legislature, and was sorry for it,
but he did not then understand the
measure, and was induced to support
it by Senator Foraker, who was there
az that tima. The debate became gen.
eral, and it was freely charged by
members in their speeches that Sena-
tor Hanna was at the state house two
years ago, as we'll as Senator Foraker,
lobbying for the 50-year street railway
franchise law Other proceedings in
the house were merely routine, but the
old lines of Monday were drawn when
ever the steering committees SO de-
sired.
In the senate there were no new de-
velopments, Senator Burke continuing
to cooperate with the Democrats.
At II a. m. both branches of the gen
eral assembly met in conference to can
vass the vote of the last state election.
It was a dull proceeding. During the
two hours devoted to the canVaSSing Of
the vote, the senators and representa-
tives put in the time in talking of the
senatorial contest
II was the concensus of opinion that
Hanna was short three votes, and that
the opposition was becoming more con-
centrated on Kurtz for the short term
and Bushnell for the long term.
There was much talk in the Hobbies
about the references TO Senators For
aker and Hanna, in the discussion of
the 50-year street railway franchise
law. The Republicans said Mr.. Hanna
was not a senator two years ago, or in
any public capacity, and that he did
not come to the state capitol and ap-
pear before the committee, and lobby
with the members, as they said the
senior Ohio senator did.
The legislature completed its sessions
for the day, this afternoon, without
the committees being announced. The
preferred places will not be given out
as long as the senatorShip is in doubt
1t is announced that Senator Burke.
the only dissenting Republican senator,
is dissatisfied with the senate organ
ization, and viii vote for re-organiza-
lion
Senator Sullivan has the resolution
of the steering committee ready to
offer at any time Senator Burke names.

Grosvenor's Opinion

Washington, Jan. 5.-Congressman
Grosvenor of Ohio, who left Columbus
last night, arrived here today and was
in the house this afternoon. To all in
quiries as to the sensational contest
he expressed the opinion that Senator
Hanna would be re- elected
''If Hanna should be defeated said
General Grosvenor, ''it would be by the
combination of Democrats and boiling
Republicans, which viii give the Demo-
Gratis the senator for the long and short
term. They will not furnish the votes
without getting part OF the spOils. But
I still maintain that Hanna will be re-
elected"

Berlin, Jan. 5.-The Reichsanzeiger
this evening announces that according

Germany and China regarding the ces-

The arrangement, it is added. is sub

the cession to render it possible for
Germany, in the fulfillment of her just
wish for the possession, in the same
way as other powers, of a base of trade
and navigation in Chinese waters.
The cession of Kiao-Chau bay to Ger

indefinite time. Germany is at liberty
to erect on the ceded territory all the
necessary buildings and establishments
and to take the measures required for
their protection.

Pocatello, Ida, Jan. 5.-Judge Hobson

examination of SOurwine and Geyser
sault upon Frank Mckeon at his cabin
in this city ten days ago. Already % wit
nesses have been examined and ali have

Mr.. Mckeon, in a patched and feeble
condition, was brought into court to
identify, if possible, the men who so

mild examination, but he was too weak
to undergo the ordeal and was returned
to his room. 1t is believed, however that

DRIFT OF POPULATION.
Young Men Are Leaving the Farm
and Crowding the Cities.

Young Men Are Leaving the Farm
and Crowding the Cities.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 5.-The state
board of agriculture which is holding
its annual session in this city, has be-
fore it a proposition that the prOpsrty
1T owns be turned over to the state,
and it become a state organization.
Several years ago the supreme court
held that the body was a private cor
poration. Governor Mount delivered an
address before the board. He said:
"A few evenings ago 1 heard a dis
cussion among distinguished gentlemen
of this city, in which it was the con-
SensuS of opinion that the most dis
, couraging outlook for agriculture was
found in the fact that too many young
men were leaving the farm. Statistics
and observation strongly tend to show
that the urban population is rapidly
increasing, while that of the rural dis
trictS is increasing at a far less rate.
The casual observer might conclude
that this is to the advantage of the
farmer, as the tendency is to the de-
creaSlng OF producers and the increaS-
ing of consumers. The careful student
OF economics, however. wants to I'M
derstand the reason why there seems
to be so little attraction in country life.
Farmers, as a rule, are inclined to talk
farming down instead of eXalting it's
possibilities. One of the gentlemen
above referred to said that some ag-
gressive efforts are needed to attract
attention and add interest to farm life
THE superintendent of public instruc-
ton informs me that the total amount
annually expended in the cause of ed
ucation in Indiana would not fall short
of S10,000000. 1 am in favor of the
broadcast kind of education, but 1 want
farmers educated in the science of ag-
riculture as well. There is practically
no instruction as to how crops grow,
the elements of plant food they require,
how to conserve and how restore those
elements to the soil. There is little or
nothing in the text books of our schools
to interest children in nature study"

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

Debs has left for a trip through the
