The Cat Was Aboard.

NORFOLK, VA, November H-(Spe-
cial. 1.-THE Jnfanta Maria Teresa ground
ed on Cats Island, after being abandoned
in the gale OF November LIST, and II a
superhuman agency had been aboard
guiding the steel-clad dereict thither
no more appropriate spot could have been
selected for the ship to strike than the
same Cats Island. The sole living
creature aboard the Teresa when she was
abandoned was a cat, the erstwhilc
mascot, JONAH" or what not, of the
Cristobal Colon, OF Cervera's fleet. The
cat had been aboard the wreck for
month when found by Merritt's people
sent to work on the Teresa. Having
cleaned out all the rodents aboard his
own ship, the feline attacked those on
the Teresa. and after finishing them, The
gruesome little beast was proceeding to
finish the work the rats had begun in
devouring the remains OF the Spanish
sailors that numbered the Teresa's hold.
The cat probably did not escape drown
ing during the storm, although he may
have lived TO get ashore on Cat Island
when the Teresa stranded.

Instructions have been given by Secre-
tary Long to the officials Of the navy

on them completed, 1t is expected that
within ten days Commodore Philip Will

now at Rio JaneirO. These vessels viii

The armored cruisers New York ana
Brooklyn are in splendid condition; the
battleship Massachusetts, will have COM

week, and all construction work on the

time. so far as the Texas is concerned,
naval officers say that a short time only
will be necessary to repair her propeller

Just as soon as all Of the armorcads
are ready they will proceed to Hampton

SAW THE METEORS.
Thirty-Three Counted-Assaulted I'm
His Red.

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, November
H.-(Special. )-Between and o'clock
this morning, an observer at the Leander
Mccormick Observatory, University of
Virginia, saw thirty-three meteors OF the
Leonid shower. A much larger number
would have been seen under better con-
ditions, but 1t was partly cloudy at the
time.
John Vanosdell, a white man, I'm the en-
ploy of Mr.. John Whey, on the Ivy road,
was assaulted in his bed and very seri-
ously wounded by some one whose OBJ
ject appears to have been robbery, as
Vanosdell had some money. A negro
named Frank Hargrove, who had been
with VanOsdell during the night. was ar
rested and lodged in Jail in this city.
Soon after falling asleep Vanosdell was
awakened by blows on the head, which
deprived him Of consciousness. After
wards he confronted Hargrove, whom he
identified as his assailant. The police
recognize in the prisoner the negro who
some time ago assisted in the escape OF
a man from the city chain-gang.
The case was before the Mayor this
morning. and Hargrove was committed
to await the action of the grand jury.

BEET-SUGAR IN CALIFORNIA.
An Increase I'm the Output In That
State.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 1A-The-e
will be more beet sugar produced in Cali
fornia during the coming year than ever
before in a twelvemonth. The Union
Sugar Company will have its new plant
at Santa Maria running with a capacity
OF 1000 tons Of beets day. The Hueneme
factory will use 1000 tons of beets a day
Spreckels' factory, at Salina, the largest
in the world, has capacity Of 1900 tons a
day. Los Animoas factory, near Los
Angeles owned by w. A. Clark, of Butte,
Mont, IL is said has doubled It's
capacity, and will handle about 200 tons
day. The Oxnards factory. at Cheno, Will
take care of 800 tons a day, and he
Crockett factory, owned by Rittel & Co.,
about 800 tons a day.
In addition to the California factories,
Utah is to have a new one, and a new
one, near Baker City, Ore. which had
short run this year, will be in full opera
ton in 1899. The capacity of the Baker
City factory is about $50 tons a day.
There is a shortage Of deep-water yes
sells available for the Hawaiian sugar
trade, and, as consequence, much of
the product OF the islands will pass
through this city, less going direct to
New York than in previous seasons. Three
large vessels, intended for the sugar
traffic, are now being built on this coast.

WILL NOT QUENCH THEM.

The Springfield Mass) Republican says
that annexation of the Philippines will
not quench the fires Of race conflict at
home.
Correct. On the contrary It will add
fuel to those fires by bringing our "new
wards" into this country in droves to
compete with white labor.
Once we have absorbed the Philippines
no anti-Chinese laws. no anti-immigra-
ton laws. will apply to the population Of
the islands.
Our new citizens, OF whatever race,
color, or previous condition Of savagery,
will be free to land on our shores and
come and go at will. But it takes neither
a prophet nor the son OF a prophet to
foresee the result of this. The Virden
Qll.) affair has projected the result so
plainly upon the canvas of the future
that wayfaring men, though fools, can
not err as to it.

DR.. A. S. Amber, who has charge OF
the Contagious Diseases Hospital, In
BROOKLYN, claims to have been very sue
cessful in treating diphtheria by means
of a new remedy which was discovered
by an Iowa physician. The remedy, which
gives such great promise, is chlorine
gas. deprived of its suffocating proper
ties and of it's caustic and irritating quail
ties. The solution is as follows: Yin,
chloride. 20 parts; arsenic chloride. 30
parts: hydrochloride acid, pure, l part
and water, 40 parts. The two liquids are
nut into the inhaler in the proportions
Of five to one, and when they combine
the chlorine is given off and used In the
inhaler.
DIR. Amber. has been using the remedy
for six months. and out OF twenty-five
patients treated twenty-four have re-
covered. The ages Of the sufferers varied
from 3 to 40 years, though in the ma
ioritv OF cases the patients were chill
dren between and years OF age. The
unfortunate who died was years Of age,
and had practically recovered from ,he
diphtheria, but had an attack of heart
failure.

AGAINST IMPERIALISM.

In the last two weeks events and de-
yclopments OF public sentiment, which
ought to give the administration pause In
pressing It's imperialistlc policy. have
crowded upon one another's heels. Start
ing with Pittsburg. protests against Phil
ippine annexation have come from
number of cities where the protection
sentiment is very strong. In Boston.
which city commands the bulk Of tho
American trade with the Philippines, all
classes and all interests seem TO be most
violently opposed to Imperialism. The
directors of the Boston Merchants Asso-
citation have adopted unanimously reso-
luton declaring that 1.-The acquisition OF
any part OF the Philippine Islands. ex-
cept what is needed for a naval station,
would be detrimental to the interests OF
the United States" The Home-Market
Club, which embraces in its membership
some OF the most ardent Republican citi
zens of the Hub, has characterized the
Presidents reported policy as too as
tonishing for belief" and as involving
ian appalling risk" And the Boston Ad-
vertiser few days ago asserted that
every businessman in the city interested
in the Philippine trade considers that
American annexation of the Philippines
would be a pitiable and tragic blum
der"
Next. we hear the voice OF the banking
interest raised in protest, Mr.. John c.
Bullet, president of the Pennsylvania
Bankers Association, having declared
that although "the peace commissioners,
acting under inspiration from Washing
ton, seem to assume that they are repre-
senting the will of the people," the truth
is that mo vote has been taken in regard
to it, and 1t cannot be affirmed, upon any
satisfactory evidence, that the great body
Of enlightened sentiment of the country
is In accord with the adoption of policy
SO radical, so grave, and so portentous."
Last, but not least, we have the election
rebuke. AS we pointed out the other day.
some Of the heaviest Democratic congress
sionaI gains were made I'm the section of
tho country included in the Presidents
great stamping Swing around" I'm the
cause Of Imperialism. In Minnesota, a
State that had been so long Joined to the
Republican idols that the Democrats had
regarded 1t as past redemption, a Demo-
crat, who had so violently opposed ex-
pansion that he was denounced by the
Republican papers as an ally Of Spain's
was, elected Governor. Again, although
the great majority Of the papers of New
York city champion grabbing the Philip
pines, the Republican war hero was
elected Governor of New York by only
1900 plurality, against 26S,OO0 plurality
for Mckinley two years ago. Verify, a
ground swell against Imperialism is
rising, and whether it shall mount high
enough to cause the administration TO
halt or not, let the Democrats not forget
the opportunity it holds out to them for
riding into power.

A Hint for Banqueters.

That men who have great regulations
as public speakers, who are called upon
to, and do attend several banquets each
week during the winter season, are aDle
TO show no sign of indigestion is a source
OF wonder TO men who. after, perhaps
a single banquet find medicines necessary.
At these banquets are served all the
fancy dishes that the mind of chef can
conceive. Then there are the wines Of
various kinds, sometimes good and some
times poor. How is It, people ask, that
these frequenters OF banquets so often
suffer no i'll effect?
1t is because their experience has made
them cautious. Constant dining out mas
taught them the absolute need of mode
ration. Many of them have confessed
that IL Is their habit to dine at thei.
homes before going 10 a banquet. Then
at the banquet they will just nibble at
what IL placed before them, so as not TO
appear odd among the company OF feast
ers.
With the wines 1t IL the same way
They will drink, perhaps. a little sherry
TO begin with. and then not drink any
thing else until the champagne is served
OF that they drink enough TO satisfy a
natural thirst. and for the rest OF the
evening they drink nothing but Apollina-
ris, which innocent potion they find not
only extremely palatable after the wine.
but calculated to offset any III effects.

ONLY THREE VOTES,
But Elected to the House OF Dele

NORFOLK, VA, November H.-(Spe-

cedented. occurrence was the election last
Tuesday of a member Of the House of
Delegates, without his knowledge or con-

it was known that he had been elected.
Some time since Hon. Charles G. Kiser,
one of the members from this city, re-
signed TO become Chief of Police Of Nor
folk The Governor ordered the election
Of his successor but no candidate pre-
scented himself. Realizing the necessity
for full representation, however, three
gentlemen endorsed on the official ballot,
as is permitted by law. the name Of Mr..
Jacob Haas, for the House. These were
the only votes cast for him, but he is
elected. The matter has just become
known.
