Salisbury had a S75. 900 fire on Mon
day. It broke out in the mills OF the
jackson Lumber Company. Calls were
made upon Pocomoke City and VIII
mington firemen for aid. Two engines
went from Wilmington, making the
run Of 1e6 miles in 1873 minutes. The
origin is supposed to be incendiary.
Salisbury is thriving town OF about
5000 inhabitants, and is the county
seat OF Wicomico county. 1t has a
number of fourishing manufactures
and has grown very rapidly in the past
few years. The town has twice before

GEORGE FRIZZELL

Thus the matter 5000 on M0n0ay
last, the last day of the session. There
were twenty-one Democrats, eighteen
Union Republicans, and eleven Regular
Republicans, requiring twenty-six to
elect. There was great excitement ard
the largest attendance Of politicians
ever gathered at Dover. Ninety-nine
ballots had been taken previously and
fourteen were taEen on Monday from
II o'clock noon to 3 o'clock, the hour
for adjournment. On the first ballot
on Monday two Democrats voted for
Addicks and on the second ballot a
third Democrat Joined them. These
traitors to their party are:
State Senator Elisha Fl. F.
Farlow Of Little Greek hun
dred, Sussex county.
representative William F.
King Of Little Greek hundred,
Sussex county.
Representative J. B. Clark Of
West Dover hundred, Kent
county.
It is said as the balloting progressed
Union Republicans were heard to say
s'the gods are not being delivered ,
showing an expectancy that other
Democrats would vote for Mr.. Ad.
dicks. There were unmistakable signs
of such apostacy and the Democrats led
by Representative Rose INDUCED in
fllibustering to kill time. Addicks was
not elected but bis supporters announce
that they begin at once the campaign
for two years hence. TIE question

A few months ago those who held 10 this belief
were in so hopeless minority that their voices
| were all but hushcd through fear Of political and
| social reprisal. Now they are 30 strong that the
| open declare ton OF such opinions 10 no longer

| Directly behind this organ Is the old Spanish
hutonomist party, and in tho background are all
those opposed TO unqualified independence. That
| this paper should hAvo the courage TO speak so
openly its convictions lie the best evidence OF the
change In the sentiment which Is now going on.
To those who had been watching the situaton
itsOeemed though the first cabled reports that
the President about to recall tho troops
these dispatches bring printed In the Havana
newspapers about six weeks ago-scrved the
strongest factor to bring clearly 10 tho surface
the underlying tendency toward America and
things American. Cuba had been crying out
for the removal Of the troops and for tho furling
Of our flag with almost insensate persistence
There had been no hint as TO tho Presidente plans,
and tho clamor had become parrotllke. and echoed
and reechoed day by day. Suddenly tho news
camo that the troops would shortly be withdrawn
II was unofficial and the gossip OF newspapers
Cuba read Of II with sigh Of relief and then those
who had substance began to wonder what would
away. good many who had been most indus
trious in demanding American evacuation did
vast amount OF thinking too. They had been
crying for q toy white rabbit to play with and 10
take the stuf1ng out Of and when It began TO
look as though they wero going 10 get IL they
began 10 think IL might not be so much fun. Tho
rabbit might not DO improved by tho internal
tnkoring OF amateurs and lot OF these mon, ,
whose worldly fortunes depended upon the rabbit
being kept In running order decided that II was
best not TO play with Il but iust let Uncle Sam
run IT, So the howl for the removal OF tho troops
began 10 diminish, and real-estate values, which
had taken fall the strength OF the report
began to rise.
Notwithstanding this change In the sentiment
Of many Of the islands property holders, and
tho calmer and even more friendly attitude To-
ward the intervening government Of tho pro-
nounced separatsts. no mistake should be made
as to the feelings Of the great majority OF tho
Cuban people They still want their republic
without a finger of tho United States upon It,
and the probabilities are that they will insist

which have made Cuba politically 30 peaceful. re-
suit mainly. as has been said. from tho good
