st. Louis Globe The report that
the Cuban planters, irrespective of
race, want the United States con-
nection with the island to be perma-
nent will surprise nobody. Many
of the planters in Cuba are foreign
ers. They are Spaniards (who are
now aliens in particularly direct
and emphatic sense,) Americans,
Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen
and Others. More of the planters in
Cuba were born outside of the island
than were born in it. They are an
especially intelligent element OF the
population. They WELD much in
fiuence in the affairs of the island.
Probably they exert almost as much
sway as the cotton and sugar plant
ers Of the Southern states did in
their locality in the old days Of
slavery in the United States.
But the planters are not the only
persons engaged in business in Cuba
who want to have the island main
tain it's connection with the United
States. The vast majority of the
persons engaged in all the impor-
tant industries in the island stand
with the planters on this question, it
is safe to say. They want the con-
nection to become more intimate
than it is, and to continue always.
They are anneyationists, almost to
a man. The reason MS for this conui-
tion are, of course, plain. Anne xax
tion would insure liberal govern
ment, progress and stability. The
petty extortions of the Spanish re-
gime would be ended Immediately
and permanently by annexation.
The revolts and disturbances OF all
sorts which would be sure to result
from Cuban rule would be averted.
Cuba would get a chance to develop
it's sources. This chance has never
vet, in the entire four centuries Ofits
history, been afforded it.
Annex alton sentiment, however, is
not confined to the foreigners OF all
races who reside in Cuba. Undoubt-
edly large part of the natives now
favor the retrention of the American
sway. The United States has intro
duced many reforms into the man
agement OF the affairs OF the island.
For the first time in it's annals Cuba
has been furnished with govern
ment which is in line with the pro-
gress and enlightenment OF the age.
The Cubans have a letter-carrier
system: they have improved meth
ods OF railroad and telegraphic COM
munication; their cities are in pro-
gress of sanitation, whereby the
epidemics OF yellow fever will be di-
minished, and eventually will disap-
pear, if annexation takes place. The
American connection, even in the
rudimentory shape which it has
taken, has brought SO many an d
such conspicuous benefits to Cuba
already, although the war in the is
land has not been ended much over
half a year, that intelligent Cubans
will see that it is to their interest to
have this Americanization continued
aud extended. 1t is entirely safe to
predict that when Cuba, next year
or the year after, chooses between
| independence and annexation, an
oyerw whelming majority OF votes will
be cast for anne xation.

At Tie Hague.

The great International disarma-
ment pow WOW is smoking the pipe
OF peace this week at the Hague.
Each brave gets up after Whit at
thepipe, lays back his blanket, strikes
his breast and tells chow many mis-
erable dogs OF the other tribes have
scalped; how | have led my young
men to victory in many a battle
how all these beautiful hunting
grounds were handed down to me
and my people by our forefathers !;
but now as my form bends with age,
and the fire leaves my eye, the Great
Spirit through the waving prairie
grass, the weeping forest, the gentle
waters, the signing winds, tells me
to be good and fight no more.
My Squaw weeps for the sons who
have gone to other nations, and the
daughter who is now the squaw of a
once desDised rival chef, A mighty
change has come over me aud my
people. Instead of the choice buffalo
meat OF my youth, now see before
me roast beef jerked by the under
taker; while once the signal fires on
distant hill tops called the tribes to-
gether for council, now the great
Spirits forked lightning out-speeds
all signals and the swiftest runners
to summon us to the Great Bears
congress. l am come to speak for
my people. | bring an empty
culver; my war cry no longer rings
through the forest to frighten my
foes; my tomahawk is buried; My
people are for peace; am DONE"

CROKER TICKET is DEFEATED
PRIMARIES IN NEW YORK GO
AGAINST THE LEADER.
His Picture In One Club Room Is
Pulled Down and Smashed By the
Uproarious Crowd.

New York, Sept 19.-Primaries were
held in the various assembly districts
of the city tonight In the Ninth as
sembly district John c. Sheehan de-
feated the Croker faction by some 300
votes. The Sheehanites were in a
great state of jubilation at the Pequod
club tonight, when the result became
known. A great crowd gathered,
cheers were given necessarily and the
crowd celebrated royalty.
In the large hall on the first floor
there hung a portrait of Richard
Croker. The crowd first hooted the
face of the chief and then somebody
yelled to tear it down. 1--WE don't want
him in this district" they shouted.
The crowd nearest the wall where it
hung caught hold of the frame and
started to pull it down. Mr.. Sheehan.
upstairs, hearing the yelling, came
down.
..Don't do that" he said. I'VE are
not pulling pictures down now
The face on the wall did not please
the crowd, however. and it was turned
toward the wall. Mr.. Sheehan received
an ovation wherever he went in the
district. The crowd cheered and yelled
and half dozen men harangued, de-
nouncing Croker. Mr.. Sheehan went
down to police headquarters about II
o'clock and was gone two hours. Dur
ing his absence the crowd took Cookers
picture. smashed the glass in with
their canes and threw the picture into
the street.
In the Thirty-first assembly district
il was reported at the Democratic
club. where returns were sent, that
Isaac H. Hopper had overthrow
Charles Welde, the present leader, of
the Thirty-firs district. Welde was
strongly backed by Peter F. Meyer,
Richard Cookers partner.

great crowds. Hordes of small boys
trailed the machine. and many horses
were frightened by it as it whizzed
along with its sharp "phwit phwit,
phwit" Out on South West Temple
the riders let the machine out a. bit
and quickly distanced all the riders
who were accompanying them.
Later at the Palace track the ma
chine was given a couple of speed
trials Several laps were ridden at a
12-second clip. or at a rate of SO for a
mile. With Lawson behind, the ma
chine went half in 4S 3-5 seconds, and
a mile in 1:52. No attempt was made
to go for a record, as Lawson did not
wish TO give the machine too severe a
test on it's first day. 1t is believed that
there will be no difficulty in sending the
machine at 1:35 gait for mile, and
perhaps even lower. All existing paced
records are expected to fall before the
new machine within the next two
weeks.
The motorcycle will pace the five-mile
professional races at the track this
evening.

Fellows hall. Some time ago arrange
ments were made for a boxing contest

the use Of the hall. they were refused,
being told that the people of the camp
did not want any more prize fights, be-
cause they were afraid of fakes AS
this is the only place where such an
