Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Nov. H.
The falls of October are not the falls
of June nor yet of mid summer. They
seem more stern, harsher, mighrier. In
June it is the subtle smell of bloom on
the wild grape vine, tangled all over
Goat Island, and in midsummer the
gentle. warmth of sun, always tenn
pered when the rest of the world is
gasping, that makes Niagara seem
soft and feathery and mild. In Oc-
tober 1t Is all blaze and flash and splen-
dor, the kind of gorgeousness of
Solomon's court, magni6ed a million
fold.
The October leaves are at their red
dest and yellowest, but down in the
shadow of the Gorge it looks cold and
forbidding, despite the fine colors in
it's border. The Whirlpool swinging
cruelty and churning it's driftwood
round and round has, it Ia to be- hoped,
tossed the last of it's summer victims.
The crowds still stare and stare, not
only at the Falls but at each other.
This stare is everywhere, as perpetual
Is the flow of the waters, and the COM
ing of the brides and bridegrooms. To
the latter, the vociferous cabbys still
shout their prices, and urge their
vehicles upon them, while the tintype
man yesrns to take them with the
Falls for background" On Falls
street, where the trolley from Buffalo,
Lockport and Tonawsnda, lands its
passengers, the crowds swarm, and on
Sundays, fight each other for seats in

AS we leave we look over q sort oil
counter, the kind they have in dairy
lunch rooms in the States, where q
colored waiter in a dress suit has been
dispensing the fare in full view of the

thinking how little we have missed.

our fastidious prejudice against the
hotel bar. A young woman with q
classic couture and q fashion plate
figure appeared, saunteriug towards
us. We could not tell whether 1t was
ourselves or our bicycle costumes

her manner was only that of tolerance.
She said the dinner hour was not over.

of the Cuban assembly has decided that
the committee will not wlcome Gomez
to this city. 1t viii not be present when
he arrives in Havana, and, further, if Go
mez does not go before this committee

propositions of Mr.. Porter, the represen-
tative of President Mckinley, without
consulting the committee, he will be
officially notified, on the part of the com
mittee, to appear before it and explain
his conduct.
The American military authorities can

Cuban assembly may pledge itself to do
when an Independent government is es-
tabished.
The insurgent leaders, who threaten to
oppose Gomez, are becoming more moder-
ate. Gomez will leave Remedies and will
give to the people of the country a chance
to greet him. Great Preparations are be
ing made everywhere Tor his reception.
He will wait until his popularity has been
demonstrated and then declare his pro
gram, leaving the Cuban assembly TO ac-
cept on reject it.
