AT dinner given in London recently
the POSTMASTER introduced Lord Salisbury
as "Gladstones successor"
The premier in responding to the toast
playfuly alluded to the differences In
opinion held by the late Mr.. Gladstone and
himself, but added that he would be glad
to succeed to the title of 1.-THE Grand Old
Man of England"
No more loyal an Englishman lives than
Lord Salisbury, and it is worthy of note
that though many invitations have been ex-
tended to him to visit these shores he de-
clines to leave England giving as simple
reason that he loves his country too well
to part himself from 1t.
Lord Salisbury's political life has been
so widely discussed during late years that
little or nothing is known about his early
career. 1t may be a cause of surprise to
many, therefore, to know that this great
man, who bears one of the most renowned
names In England, in early life earned his
livelihood like any Industrious especial
writer of today. The biographers of the
premier hasten over the story Of bis bread
winning days, when he was dependent upon
bic own exertiops for means Of sustenance,

He Kept the Charge.

Wilson Bennett, a country negro, struck
Birmingham the other morning with s5.75.
Seventy-five cents of this he blew in on
whisky, and then he began to devise some
plan by which he could get to Columbus,
Ca, on the remaining s. and still have some
of it left when he arrived there.
He met up with a slick Birmingham ne
gro, Hamp Kelly by name, who offered to
"get him in with" some of the brakemen
on the Central of Georgia railroad, and.
with their permission, he could ride for
nothing on one of the freight trains.
The country negro, out of the gratitude
of his heart, gave Hampton his five-dollar
bill and told him to go and get Himself a
drink, returning the change to the owner
before the train left. Hamp went off and
got several drinks, it is supposed, ana, to
add insult to injury, failed to return with
the change Wilson told his trouble to a
policeman, and after a little search Hamp
was found, with only s1.75 of the money
left.
Hampton was fined SIS and thirty days for
embezzlement.

After Chewing Tobacco.

Arthur ONeal and Lindsey Haley, two
colored boys, stole several pounds of chew
ing tobacco from a storekeeper who had
the weed sitting outside of his store. One
of the boys, in explaining how he camc in
possession of the tobacco, said that he and
his companion found 1t wrapped up in a
piece of paper over on the Southside, and
at first they had thought the bundle a dog
and began to chunk at it. This story didn't
go with the judge, however, and he put
both of the boys in jail.

mo man in history" said Mr.. Porter,
"has done so much with so small resources
as you have done. Hence your co-opera-
ton with General Brooke will bring good
results"
General Gomez specially requested that
the money for which Mr.. Porter had or
ders in his pocket, should be paid over to
General Brooke and not to himself as he
did not want the personal responsibility of
keeping it.
The Cuban general then assured Captain
Campbell of his good will toward General
Brooke and the formal compact was pre-
sented to Gomez by Mr.. Porter and was
assented to by General Gomez

for it is said he does not like to have them
referred to-
His lordship is sixty-nine years old,
though he is often taken to be older, for
his features are deeply scanned by his Of
fetal duties. He is very round shoul-
dered, and unlike most men of his surround
ings thoroughly detests exercise. 1t is
said that much of the premiers stoutness
is due to his reluctance to exert himself
physically, and it is only when his ply
stefan, driven to desperation, makes the
most dreadful threats that Lord Salisbury
feels constrained to take some of the much
needed exercise. Then he goes out, char
acteristically SILENT with visions of the
indignant doctor occurring to him, strolls
along few back streets where he is not, in
spite of his greatness, known, and returns
home.
Another notable feature in Lord Sails
bury is that he never 'makes speeches"
He simply talks" with clearness of con-
ception, commanding his subject in WELL
ordered sentences, varying his argument
now ana then by a refreshing rain of hu-
NOR.
There is nothing childish about his lord
ship, and in his private life he is modesty

MAKING GOMEZ,
(signed.)


Today Gomez is preparing for the trip to
Havana. The whole attitude of the old
fighter is much more cordial than was an
ticipated by Mr.. Porter. He told the latter
he was proud to receive the special ambas-
sador OF the president, and he is evidently
much gratiied at the prospect of an early
solution of the disbandment problem.
The money will be sent on Commissioner
Porter's order to General Brooke, and will
be paid out as called for, by distribution
through committees of Cuban and Ameri-
can officers in the various provinces. As
agreed upon at yesterdays conference, the
entire amount will be in Spanish silver.
At the rate of GO it win amount to A,2o0,-
600. or nearly 500 for each man in the
Cuban army, as estimated by the dclega-
ton from the Cuban military assembly
which went to Washington in December
and has recently returned to Cuba. The
late General Calixto Garcia told President
Mckinley this amount would be satisfae-
tory The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the delegation was ex-
amined by Mr.. Porter for the president,
and that a report was submitted which has
not yet been made public. The figures
given in it as supplied to the correspondent
of the Associated Press yesterday call for
$57,00O.000 as the first climate of the dele
cation, but the delegation said they would
take less and acknowledged they could
hardly expect better pay for the Cuban
priyates than the American privates get,
which is $13 a month or 43 per cent. of
these figures and the American basis would
mean S9,GO0,000 for privates. AS the sum
to be paid is worth more than $4000000 in
Spanish silver here, nearly half of the
amount calculated on the American basis
is to be realized by the Cubans.
AT the conference Mr.. Porter laid special
stress on the fact that the 100000 was not
to be regarded wages due for services
rendered, but as a relief fund from the
United States to expedite the disbandment
of the army and TO further the acts of re-
construction. This article of the compact
previously cabled, was the most delicate
point under consideration as the question
of the recognition of the Cuban army as
military body and tacity of the revolution
airy government was involved General Co.
mez acquiesced in this premise more readily
than might have been expected in view of
his reputed hostility to the United States.
