HObsOn's wrsoEing Plans.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Lieut. Hobson
was before the board OF naval bureau
chiefs yesterday explaining the prospects
Of raising the Spanish ships sunk in the
battle Off Santiago. He WAS OF the opin-
ion that it was useless to continue the
wreckiDg company any longer. and that
results did not warrant the $500 per day
it is receiving In his opinion the Colon
and the Vizcaya could be raised and
brought 10 dry docks at New York or
Norfolk at cost OF SJO0.O0 for one and
$4,000 for the other, and possibly both
could be brought in for 100000 each.
Hobson wanted to be placed at the head
OF wrecking company which he should
organize and be authorized 20 expend
fom Ss00. 900 to 5000. .0O0on the two vessels
lie said the hull of the Vizcaya was in
tact, and he proposes TO build a Golfer
cam around her and bring her 10 the sur
face amer making repairs necessary to
fiast her.

TOOK THE MEDICINE.
Spain Accepts the Terms Proposed by the
United States.

1t is announced that the peace negotia-
tons in Paris are now proceeding satis-
factOrily and that Spain has accepted the
terms of the United States in regard to
the Cuban debt and other matter within
the province of the joint commission ex-
ceptiDg the disposition of the Philippines
The Philippines question comes mp next.
The articles of the protocol settled are:
The cession of Porto Rico to the United
States; the REIMBURSEMENT of all sOver-
eighty over Cuba and dependent islands
and the eessiOn of Cuba to the United
States for It's pacifeation and the estab-
lishment of stable government. this
country assuming no portion of the Cuban
debt; the cession to the United States of
an island, Guam. in the Lsdrone group;
the withdrawal of Spain's forces from the
western hemisphere which is now going
on.
The one article TO be decided is that
providing that the United States shall oc-
cupy aud hold the harbor and city of
Manila and Subig bay until peace oom-
mission determines the rights of both
Spain andthe United States in the Philip
pines.
The negotiations were nearly wrecked
on the Cuban debt snsg. The Americans
were unyielding in their refusal 10 sc-
cept single dollar of debt. despite the
threats of the Spsnisrds to break off the
proceedings. Finally. the Americans re-
naming Obdurate, Senior Montero Rios,
head of the Spanish commission, tele-
graphed his resignation to Madrid and af-
fairs became extremely critical. Had his
resignation been accepted, the other
Spanish commissioners would have fol-
lowed suit and the peace negotiations
would have come TO an abrupt end. This
result was averted by the action Of the
queen regent in begging Rios to con-
tinue.
Asa last resort the Spanish commits
sioners begged for mercy, declaring that
should Spain be compelled to assume the
whole of the Cuban debt. it would mean
her utter financial ruin This appeal WAS
sent to President Mckinley and resulted
in the midnight cabinet meeting in Phil
adelphia Tuesday night. The president
and his advisors decided again that Spain
must assume the debt. and the Spanish
commissioners yesterday were forced 70
accept the inevitable.

Comfort in travelling is an important
consideration. and the newest idea for
journey is one worth regarding. Dodg-
ing railroad cinders and dust is some
thing not TO be thought Of When a
thoroughly clean railroad trip is posi-
lie. the millennium will have arrived.
and this period is still. according to all
beliefs, long distance off. But, owing
to simple thought of a practical man.
the traveller can now protect his or her
hat, which was out of the question be-
fore.

At dusk in the wilds Of the gloomy
frazilian forest you will think 1t
i-range to hear the clink of a hammer
IN an anvil Y9u would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement,
and the picture Of the ruddy glow OF
the forge would come up before your
eyes.
But if your guide were q native, he
would tell you that the sound was made
by campanero, as they call it, al
though to foreigners it is known as the
invil bird.
This bird is a little larger than a
thrush. The plumage is perfectly white,
the eyes are pale gray color. and the
naked throat and skin around the eyes
are Of fine bright green, while its
more northerly relative is orange and
black. very much like our oriole.
1t is generally in the early part of the
day that the oampanero sends forth the
wonderful note that can be heard at a
distance Of three miles Marvellous in
deed must be the mechanism Of the vo-
cal organs of so small bird to produce
so farreaching a note. but there is no
doubt of the fact, for many travellers
have heard the strange sound uttered
by the bird when perched on the top
most branch of some withered tree

Remedy for Hog Cholera.

WAsHTSGroS. ID. c., Oct 27.--During
the past two years the Department of
Agriculture has conducted a series of ex =
periments in the use ofserum as remedy
for hogs affected by cholera or swine
plague, the results proving that the
dreaded disease can be successfully treat
ed. easily and inexpensively.
The losses suffered by the farmers of
the United States annually from bog
cholera aggregate an enormous sum. In
Iowa alone in 1895 il is estimated that
the hng raisers lost through the ravages
Of disease SIS. 600.
Dr. Salmon, chief Of the Bureau of
Anima' Industry. says. There is no
question of the effectiveness Of the ser um
treatment Our operations have been
viewed with scepticism, but the serum
treatment for hog cholera is no longer an
experiment. 1t is proved success, and
und lubtedly will save to the farmers Of
the United States millions of dollars
every year"

The congressional districts which
were close in 1896 are those in which
the hardest fight will be made on Ne
vember 8. In normal years about as
many Of these are Republican as are
Democratic. In fifty-seven districts the
plurality Of the successful candidates
two years ago was under LOO. The
Republicans could lose hs of these
and still have control Of the House.
Nobody believes the Republicans will
lose anything like this many districts.
They undoubtedly will carry the House.
But there must be no staying away
from the polls. Every Republican vote
must be got out.

IRIS expected that a presidential or
der will be issued in November remov-
ing over 6,00O places from the classified
civil service lists. The principal places
affected will be 1900 deputy collectors
of internal revenue, who actually serve
as collectors, and 1000 physicians, serv-
ing as pension examiners. This is good
news. 1t is high time that the civil
service humbug was given resound-
ing wbaek. The President can not act
too sneediIy or too radically.

A VOTE for a Republican candidate
for Congress is something more than
an expression of partisan preference

every loyal citizen to east his ballot for
the candidate who will uphold the ad-

An attempt to distort the facts quite as
dastardly as the recent attack upon Sena-
tor Quay is thus mentioned by the Easton
Free Press
The effort to make it appear that there
were considerable state funds in the Ger
man National Bank of Pittsburg, which
has closed its doors, and that it Is another
Peoples Bank affair, fall fiat, for the sim
pie reason that there were no state funds
iE the bank. What is more, the bank
will. according TO report, pay dollar for
dollar.
Had it been another Peoples Bank af-
fair wherein would the state have suffer
ed? The state lost nothing there.
Whether the bank pays dollar for dol
lar, as we hope it will. is also another
question. That has 10 do with the de-
positOrs. directors and officers ofthe bank
and the federal statutes and officials.
Aud in the interim, the effort to make
political capital out of that failure, like
the too late-to be tried case against Ssna-
tor Quay, merely demonstrates the des-
perstion of the enemies Of the Republi-
can party, and furnishes another reason
why the campaign liars should be rebuk-
ed at the polls.-Philadelph Inquirer.

Opinion of an Eminent Jurist


Ballot reform in New York was neces
sary, says an eminent jurist, bee Iuse
mere politicians by trade who had no in
terest in government or politics except to
enrich themselves sought perpetual c,.n-
troll. There are other excellent reforms
besides that of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform. promptly and
thoroughly effected, IN a disordered phys
ical system by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which counteracts tendencies TO se-
rious disease bred by deficiency of vital
stamina, irregnlarity of the bowels, stom-
ach, liver or kidneys, and inquietude of
the nerves. This sterling medicine, which
has for near half a century won because
it deserves popular favor, is commended
by physicians of eminence who accord it
their approval, not only for its excellent
qualities in remedial capacity, but also
for its servic. able properties as medic
inal stimulant. 1t soothes and strength
ems the nerves. and is far preferable to the
heady. unmedicated stimuli of commerce.
