A call has been issued by the fus-
sionists for a convention to nominate
candidates for Supreme Judges to
meet at Mitchell, Sept.9. The most
noticeable feature of the call is that
fusion" and corporation are drop
ped and the allies blossom forth un-
der a new title, "Union." Why they
find it sary to change the title
of their combination each year is a
mystery known only to the members
of the inner circles, certainly the
rank and file know no reason for the
changes. Possibly it is an endeavor
to deceive the people into beliveing
it is not the same old party which de
luded them on the free silver and
other ~fallacies. Again it maybe
that the new name is adopted il
proof of their patriotism and will bs
accompanied by the American flag
as their symbol. Qaien sabe?

The Democratic party has been
beaten Ia three successive elections
on the issues presented in the Chica-
60 platform, chief of which mainly
responsible for the defeats is the 16
to / delusion.
Is it necessary that the party shall
be again defeated in the election OF
this year in order that it may aban-
don the Populistic aud Free Silver
nonsense and enter the Presidential
campaign with living issues that
promise success?
These three defeats have been
very costly. In the campaign Of
1896 all was lost, including honor.
The Presidency, Congress, State gov
eminent and everything else at stake
went to the Republicans.
In the state elections of 1897 and
the lesson was repeated and empha.
sized. AS a total result the Demo.
cratic party has now, for the frs
time in its history, only two United
States Senators from all the North

SANTIAGO GRIEvED AGAIN.
No Customs Money Must BE Expended
Without BroOke's Permission.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 19.-The
United States military authorities in Ha
vana have cabled the Santiago department
an order directing that not a cent of the
customs receipts of the department is to be
expended without the permission of Gov
ernor General Brooke. The order also di-
reefs that the greater part of the sanitary
work performed shall be done without
money pay and for rations merely. The di-
rections regarding tfie customs funds have
not yet been made generally known. AS
most people, relying upon a recent dispatch
from DR.. Joaquin Castillo, row in Wash
ington, have regarded this point as def
nitely settled in favor of Santiago,it has been
considered advisable thus far not to allow
the order in question to become public, lest
there be a renewal of the popular excite
nent provoked by the issuance of the orig
inal order for the concentration of customs
at Havana Intelligent Cubans who are IN
possession OF the facts, however, are greatly
worried over the situation, as are also the
Americans for this and other recent orders
virtually reduce the military governor of the
department to 3 mere automaton. Such
policy as is suggested regarding the
work of sanitation might have been appi-
cable in July and August last, but is GER
tainly not under the changed conditions to-
day Very likely the sanitary conditions at
Havana now resemble those of Santiago
then In any event, letters and dispatches
received from the capital show dense ig-
norance regarding the province.

NINE. PATTI IN TROUBLE.
Religious Obstacles i'm the Way of Her
Marriage to Baron CederstrOm.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19--News has reached
here that the coming marriage of Adelina
Patti-Nicolni and Baron Rudolph Ceder
strom, of Sweden, is beset with grave relig
ious difficulties The head of the Swedish
state church, Anton Niklas Sundberg has
pronounced that he will not permit the mar
riage according to the Swedish Lutheran rit-
ual if a Roman Catholic ceremony is first
performed; and the Catholic bishop of the
diocese OF Minerva, Wales, in which Nine.
Patti resides, will forbid the union if both
Catholic and a Lutheran ceremony take
place. 1t was the intention to have the mar
rage solemnized in Craig-y-Nos Castle early
ceremony at the Swedish legation in London
as a Swedish noble and prospective heir
sires to protect to possible heirs the fortune
both of his prospective wife and what he
may himself inherit; and Nine Patti is GER
tainly unwilling to run any risk of not be-
ing legally recognized as a future baroness
of Sweden. Both believing that civil mar
riage may endanger the title, they see the
necessity for a religious ceremony; but the
action of the two churchmen named, who
stand entirely on canonical law, now renders
such ceremony dubious. 1t is suggested by
the friends of Nine. Patti that the difficulty
can be surmounted by a special dispensation
from Pope Leo. but it is hardly likely that
the Vatican will override the decision of the
local bishop

IT'S REPORT SUBMITTED.
Cuban Military Commission Dissolved
The Members Commended.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-The Cuban
evacuation commission was dissolved to-
day and its members submitted to the Presi-
dent, the secretary of state and the secre-
tary of war a report on their labors. The
report makes no reference to the future
government of the island and embodies no
political recommendations whatsoever, con-
sisting practically of record of it's pro-
ceedings, with the voluminous correspond
ence passing mainly between it, the Span
ish commission and the administration at
Washington. Secretary Alger and the Pres
ident warmly congratulated the commission
on its successful and expeditions work
The commissions session occupied less
than an hour and was of a purely formal
character. The papers it submits as its
record and report were finally passed on
and the signatures of the commission, with
Chairman Wades first, were affixed With
everything in complete shape and the pa
pers signed the commissions work was
closed and it adjourned sine die a few min
utes before noon. This ended the existence
of the body and the members will now re-
sumo their regular duties. The commission
al noon made its formal call on Secretary
of State Hay and submitted TO him the
original report Of its procedure, together
with numerous exhibits plans of the forts
in Havana h9rbor and other matters of i'm
portance. Secretary Hay, responding in a
brief address, stated that he was surprised
at the rapidity with which the work of The
commission was accomplished, that the work
was phenomenally perfect and reflected
great credit on the members of the COM
