Crisis Near ut Hand.

Madrid. Dec. yi.-El Liberal publishes an
interview with a minister whose name Is
not known. which represents him as de-
caring that the advent OF the c~onserva-
tives to power is only delayed by Senior
Sagasta's Illness.
"All the ministers" said the person In
question. had already offered their resig-
nations. but the premier's sudden illness
STAYED of the crisis. But above the prob
lens of interior politics there Is one
question of extraordinary gravity affect.
ing the very existence Of the fatherland.
This question preoccupies our statesmen
so deeply that 1t would suffice to unite
them to prevent fresh catastrophes. IL Is
impossible to speak clearly on this point.
I can only say that the preoccupation In
cludes fears of apprehended events which
must give a pretext for a thing England
ID pursuing with effrontery."
The Interview has excited much COM
ment and much anxiety IL felt as TO what
the ministerial organs will have to say.

The city officials are all getting out

eases. ages of the deceased. births re-
ported. etc.

there has been great activity In the de-
partment and that the markets and res
taurants have been closely watched to
see that meat and produce not Mt to eat

department condemned and destroyed
| &c. 800 pounds of meat, 1850 pounds Of
fish, IL. 800 pounds Of fruit and 1,2o0
pounds of cheese. One good thing was
accomplished by the sanitary depart

crime. Cows were killed and when

sold for veal. There were three arrests
for this offense during the year n in
each case convictions were secured and
the offenders punished. II is believed

kets and slaughter houses very closely
in the spring to prevent a repetition of
the offense.
During the year the health depart

quiring owners to clean yards and
vaults and aba.e ~nuisances Of various
kinds. There were Csc vaults cleaned
during the year. 81 cess pools and 2l9

partment made 2s5 milk tests. samples
were taken from milk wagons at times
when the drivers could not suspect that
such action was contemplated. In this
way the department obtained samples
OF milk as IL is actually delivered In the
city and the samples were all tested.
Forty-four houses were quarantined
during the year, but there was no seri-
Gus epidemic OF any sort. There were
10 cases Of scarlet fever and 81 OF diph-
liberia. There were $50 rooms disinfected
and there were 40 arrests for violation

SECOND WARD REPUBLICANS
Warmed by Campaign OrntOry Until
They Forget Atmospheric
DiscOmfOrts.

A good crowd OF republicans braved the
dscomforts of practically an outdoor meet
ing last night to hear discussion of cam
paign issues at Simanek's hall, which Is an
enclosure without roof on Thirteenth street
near William. Although the speakers re-
mained ensconsed in their great coats they
warmed the audience frequently up to con-
dition OF noisy enthusiasm. Andrew Kiewit
presided and introduced Lee Estelle, who
called attention to the fact that Agunaldo,
in proclamation to the Tagals, his people,
had asked them to pray for the success Of
the democratic party. He supposed it was
a sort Of reciprocity that was leading the
democrats to pray for the success OF Agui-
naldo. AS for himself he loved old glory
and was inclined to pray for it's triumph,
no matter in what cause 1t was fighting.
j. l.. Haley presented the known qualifi-
cations of the candidates of the republican
party and the lack of them that marks the
opposition candidates. He recalled the
services OF Judge Reese on the supreme
bench and directed attention to the fact that
good times are always somehow enjoyed dur
ing a republican administration and hard
times during democratic rule.
/. S. Hascall paid his compliments to John
Rosicky. declaring that Mr.. Edward Rose
water had stated the case correctly when
he had said that it was because of a per-
Sonal grievance that Rosicky was endeavor-
ing to influence Observation-Disclosures to op-
pose the republican ticket Rosicky had
gone into the primaries and the convention
merely to create dissension and get an eX-
cuse for opposing the ticket. Then he had
suddenly discovered that Bohemian could
not be republican. Mr.. Hascall devoted
considerable time to the discussion Of ma
tional issues declaring that If Andrew jack
son, who was responsible for the purchase
of Florida and the conduct of the war that
followed, should hear some Of his namesakes
of today attempting to conjure in his name
he would turn over in his coffin.

FAIRBANKS Is CONFIDENT
Indiana Senator Finds Conditions in
Nebraska FlRttertnE to
Republicans.

Charles w. Fairbanks United States sem
ator from Indiana, was in the clty lot
several hours Wednesday en- route to Ne
braska City, where he spoke last night.
On his present trip to Nebraska he VIII
speak at York and Columbus and then re-
turn east at once to spend the last Two
weeks of the campaign in Ohio.
Senator Fairbanks stands high In the
councils of his party, and is probably as
closely in touch with the political stu
alton as any man in the country. speak
ing of political affairs he said
Judging from what l hear there seems
to be no reason why Nebraska should not
swing back into line this year, and l expect
to SEQ it do so. 1t is a progressive state
and the people have probably already ap-
preciated what the Mckinley administration
has done for them. l have just been read
ing the crop report published by The Bee
this morning. That is wonderful show
ing, simply wonderful. There cannot be
much distress in state with so productive
a soil
"But the prosperous conditions l notice
here exist all over the country. In the
east labor is well employed and at better
wages than for many years past. The rec
ord of the United States in foreign trade
balances is an interesting indication of
what the republican administration has
done for commerce. The trade balances in
favor of this country during the three years
of McKnley's administration were equal to
those OF the administration Of Arthur,
Cleveland, Harrison and Cleveland COM
bned"
When informed that the fusionists of
this state were trying to persuade the people
that there was no real prosperity Senator
Fairbanks expressed the greatest surprise.
"Well, isn't that strange" he said. Its
just as though a man were to stand out
in heavy rain without an umbrella and try
to persuade people he was not getting wet.
They claim that 1t is spasmodic, do they
They claim, then that il is unlike the de-
preston that accompanies democratic ad-
ministration, for that always lasts as long
as the democratic party remains in power
Senator Fairbanks had never spent any
time in Omaha before and he expressed him
self as very favorably impressed with the
solid and prosperous appearance of the
city. Omaha, he said, was known in the
east as one of the prominent cities of the
country, and was among the first to come
to the mind of an easterner when he turned
his attention west of Chicago. He visited
The Bee building during his brief stay in the
city and pronounced it far finer news
paper building than he had expected to see
so far west,
"It like it especially because there is
fancy ornamentation about it," he said.
'It is impressive in its plain massiveness."

NINTH WARD FUSION CLUB
Twenty-Scven Men and Boys Listen
to Dunn's Plea for Fusion
Registration.

Twentyseven men and boys were in the
hall when Chairman Nipple called the
meeting OF the Ninth Ward Fusion club
to order Wednesday night. l. j. Dunn was
introduced as the principal speaker of the
evening. He spoke for an hour and half
and before his remarks were concluded
about half dozen men strolled in.
Mr.. Dunn said the republicans had stolen
march on the fusionists in getting the
big end of the first days registration and
pleaded earnestly with the Ninth ward flu
sionists that they exert themselves in the
succeeding registrations to get their entire
strength registered. "1f we get our vote
registered and are able to muster our en-
tire strength on election day." said MIR.
Dunn, eve are not only going to carry our
own county, but will elect our entire judic-
ial ticket. Things are undoubtedly looking
better for the state ticket during the past
few days. 1t is unnecessary for us to de-
fend the record of Silas A. Holcomb. 1t
speaks for ITSELF
The speaker continued at length in a
discussion of national issues, particularly
| touching upon the silver and Philippine
questions. He asserted that the prosperity
of which the republicans were vaunting so
much had largely the same result as would
| the adoption of free silver in that 1t has
| taken more money to purchase the COM
| modities. Instead of by free silver, the re-
publicans he asserted, had brought this
about by means of the trusts.
| I.ysle l. Abbott addressed the meeting,
presenting a few reasons why to his mind,
the fusion and judicial and county tickets
should be elected.
