The buccaneers lurched up the wind

grim gateway with its decoration of
shriveled heads, and clattered into the
long low hall of the castle, where was
set ready for them feast made up of
coarse profusion. On the blackened
wood of the table were hogs roasted
whole, and great smoking joints of
fresh meat, and joints of buccaned
meat, and roasted birds, with pimento
and other sauces, and before each cover
was a great blackjack Of liquor set In a
little pool of sloppings. To European
eye the feast was rather disgusting
than generous; but to the buccaneers,
new from the lean fare of shipboard, 1t
was princely; and they pledged the Gov
ernor with choking draughts every time
they hacked themselves a fresh platter
full. Each buccaneer had brought with
him his bucket of pieces-of-eight,
which he nursed between his knees as
he sat, with a loaded pistol on top as
a makeweight and a menace to pilfer-
ers; and after that all had glutted
themselves with meat they swept the

rHE pRoroooL ADOPTED.

The Spanish Senate has adopted
the protocol authorizing that gov
ernment to conclude peace
with America. The bill begins
with recital as to the reverses suf-
fered by the arms of that nation ia
the unequal struggle into which it
was forced to maintain its honor
and maintain its rights, and which
deprived it of the necessary ele-
meuts for continuing the war.
The bravery of its soldiers and
sailors proved insufficient, and sep
arated by wide seas from the terri
tories it was the object to protect,
and those territories being closely
blockaded so the few remaining
ships could not reach them, the
government is compelled to admit
the bitter truth which says an end
must be put to the war. Duly
weighing the responsibility entailed
by the preliminary peace pegotia-
tions, and its duty to the Country,
the government had to consent to
those negotiations, and bow to the
cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer
necessity.
| For these reasons and because
peace must be purchased at the
cost of a cession of territory and
the abandonment of sovereign
rights, the COrtes is sounded be-
fore concluding the treaty, and the
following bill is submitted
1.-THE government is authorized
to renounce rights of sovereignty
and to cede territory in the Spanish
colonies in accordance with the
peace preliminaries agreed on with
the government of the United
States.'
There was stormy session, and
Generals Weyler, Blanco, and
Primo de Rivera and Admiral Ger
vera were denounced by members
of the Senate, who said they ought
to be disgraced.
The Spaniards are ingenious in
the way of inventing new tortures
but it would seem doubtful if they
could devise anything which could
add to the disgrace in which Weylel
now is before the civilized nations
of the world.

Suicide in Fuh Dress.

Mrs. Rosser, who committed suicide
with her husband, the French cyclist,
in Melbourne, prepared herself for the
great event as carefully as If she had
been dressing for ball. She put on
her most effective dress, elaborately
curled and dressed her hair, arranged
herself upon the bed in a graceful pose
and died with her face set in a pleas
ant smile. The writer knows OF an
other similar instance, but the woman
in the latter case hanged herself in
evening dress, with all her jewelry on
and a touch of carmine on her lips.

A NOTABLE NEW YORKER

A brief dispatch from New York, in
yesterdays Herald, announces the death
of A. Oakley Hall, ex-mayor The name
is unfamiliar to most readers. and it was
probably forgotten by many who knew
it we'll more than quarter of century
ago. In 1871, and during the two or
three years following, newspaper writer's
and caricaturists throughout the United
States made that name target for the
most merciless ridicule and execration.
A. Oakley Hall was one Of the quartet
known to the public as the "Tammany
Ring" His remarkable career is of more
than passing interest as an example for
thoughtful study.
Oakley Hall, as he was Familiarity
known, went from his home in New
Orleans to New York In the early eff
ties" He was bright. witty, genial
young lawyer, and he soon became
favorite with the Tammany leaders. He
was made an assistant in the district
attorneys office. and subsequently
reached the top.
III loOS ldl1lIlldHy nan was at thO
zenith of its power. John T. Hoffman
was mayor, and Tammany was as po-
tent in the city government as the coun
ell was in medieval Venice. 1t was de-
termined to move Hoffman up to the
governorship and put Oakley Hall in his
place. The election of Hall led to the
combination of four which became noto-
rious as the Tammany ring. These four,

M. Tweed nominally deputy street COM
missioner, but really dictator of New

Richard p. Connolly, comptroller (head

upon the report of the commissioner

land, using language which indicated
intense feeling, if not anger, instructed
them to totally disregard any applica-
ton for pension based on deafness or
rheumatism"
Continuing, Corporal Tanner said:
The man who would make such an
order had himself never heard the sound
of a cannon nor slept in the open air.
and I am not surprised, therefore, to
find that the commissioner of pensions
had an army record which consisted of
three months and sixteen days as
clerk in the commissary department.
From all accounts Commissioner

ere his claim, which is, in all other re-
spects, duly proved up, meets the con-
descending approval of those worthy Of

that, under the present administration,
the official dignity of the pension bureau
is so highly perched that letters of in

pension claims, are rarely honored with
more than silence. President Mckinley
should gently remind Mr.. Evans that the
