THURSDAY. OCTOBER IL, 1899.
TIE MASS NETTING.

The meeting in Mechanics hall had a
three-fold meaning: /. To welcome
back to his home the venerable senior
senator of Massachusetts, George F
Hoar. 2. To introduce to the repubh
cans of Worcester county the candi-
dates on the state ticket, to ratify their
nomination and to approve the plat
form. 8. To hear the magnetic senator
from Maine, who came here TO speak not
to the audience in Mechanics hall alone,
but to the nations of the civilized
world.
In all three particulars the meeting
was most successful. Senator Hoar re-
ceived one of the finest ovations ever
given to man in public life. Notwith-
standing any differences of opinion
Senator Hoar has had, the republicans
of the city gave him their hearty and
manship and firm loyalty to his Larty
were never questioned. Gen. Guild in
particular paid a most warm and gen
erous tribute to the senator's noble rec
ord He uttered a sentiment in which
we all share. We are not going to sac
rifice Senator Hoar.
The presence of Governor Wolcott al
ways lends a dignity and inspiration to
public meeting. His mellifluous voice
and noble presence command attentior
His speech never descends below the
highest level. Massachusetts never had
a governor who held a place higher in
the affection and love Of the people.
Most aptly did he express the character
that distinguishes him among men in
political life. Governor WolcoLt never
plays to the galleries.
| Every candidate on the state Tick It
was present, and several spoke. The
two most interesting figures were, of
course, Gen. Guild and Mr.. Bates. Both
spoke and they exchanged compll-
ments. Mr.. Bates was we'll received,
and no republican there will ever forget
the earnest and generous spirit he
showed in referring to the recent con-
test in which by so narrow margin
he won his nomination.
Gen. Guild was most enthusiastically
received. He was visibly affected, and
the warm welcome must have had its
effect in the eloquence of his speech.

worst. He told of the change. He drew
a safe analogy with the case in the far
east. He believes in standing by Nc
Kinley and the American flag.
Secretary Ohn's address was as neat,
happy and humorous as a two-mlnute
address could be.

not fall behind general expectation

c0NGRESS oF CON ERnE.

Today there is to convene at Phila-
delphia a congress of commerce in con-
nection with the national export ex-
position which opened in that city on
the 14th of last month, and which is to
be continued until the first of January
This congress promises to be of inesti-
mable value to the manufacturers of
to meet in council represent the manu-
featuring and trade interests of the
several nations of the world. They are
all of them men expert in their several
lines, and they are to discourse upon
topics which will be of the utmost i'm
portance to every manufacturer of the
country.
1t is somewhat surprising that so lit
tie interest has been taken in this ex-
position by Worcester manufacturers,
and that there are not more exhibits of
the products of Worcester shops and
factories. 1t is certainly through no
lack of notice that this is due, as the
exhibition has been extensively adver-
tised throughout the country. 1t must
be either laid to apathy on the part of
manufacturers, or to the fact that such
prosperous times are with us that To-
cal shops and factories are too crowd
ed with orders for goods to attend to
exhibits. In a sense this latter expla-
nation is an accurate one, and repres-
ents the exact condition of affairs in
this city.
1t is unfortunate, however, for the
welfare and good will-of the city as a
whole, that several of the large indus
tries Of the city are not represented
at the exposition. Such exhibits tend
to benefit the city and give 1t an inter-

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Park theatre, as usual, is at
tracing large audiences this week, and
the artists which appear on the pro-
gram are most cordially received. Ma
son Mitchell, the actor, who graphically
and effectively depicts his interesting
lecture on San Juan and Las Guasimas,
where he fought with the Rough Rid
ers, is meeting with great favor. His
tribute to the Second Massachusetts
regiment is most fitting and wins en-
thusiastic plaudits. Smith and Cook, in
their acrobatic comedy act, amuse ev-
erybody, and the Golden trio, introduce
ing their amusing conglomeration of
speciality, fun and nonsense, are estab-
lished favorites. The Kohnle operate
stars have given excellent satisfaction
in the presentation of the opera Fra
Diavolo," the selected number for the
first part of the week. This afternoon
and for the remainder of the week the
always pleasing opera, "The mascot"
will be sung.

THE CUBANS WILL DISBAND

No Spirit of Protest or Opposition Mani
Tested at the Meetins-An-
other Called.

Havana Jan. 7.-Twenty-f Cuban
generals and chiefs met at Mariana TO-
day to consider the position of the Cuban
army. Among those who attended were
Generals Vidal. Lacret and Pedro Gill but
General Mayia Rodriguez, commander of
the Matanzas province, and General Men,
ocal commander of Havana province
were not present. A document was drawn
up for dispatch to General Rodriguez
asking him to call u general meeting of
officers to take action, first, upon the need
of sum of money to enable the officers
and nrivates of the army to make new
start in life: and secondly. with regard
to the lack of respect shown to the Cuban
officers by the Cuban people and the
Americans. The latter matter has special
reference to the refusal of the municipal
police to salute General Sanguilly and
other officers.
The meeting to-day resulted in three
hours talk, critical but not unfriendly to
the Americans, and no disposition was
shown to assume an attitude of protest or
opposition. On the contrary, a willing
ness to dsband was expressed, provided
money was forthcoming to give the men
composing the Cuban army a new start.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. New South
Wales is perspiring, groaning and gritting
its teeth under succession of violent hot
sand-storms. Reports from As places show
temperatures ranging from 105 degrees to
l23 degrees in the shade. This heat is

hundreds of thousands. At Sydney, with

wind blowing 40 miles an hour The entire
population were compelled to shut them
selves up in their houses and breathe
through wet sponges. In many parts of
the country rivers have dried up and in

laid themselves in the mud and died.
Bush fires have been started in many
directions and many ranches have been
destroyed. From all over the colony re-
ports are arriving of disastrous fires d.
rectly traceable to the terrific heat. A
train running into Burke was chased by
a hurricane that swept the country like
the blast from a furnace A greasy tar
paulin covering a car of chaff caught fire,
and in five minutes the entire train was
in flames while running at the rate of 50
miles an hour to escape the hurricane.
When the train stopped the passengers
jumped from the car windows to save
themselves.
At WaggaWagga, a hurricane blew

fire and great damage was done.

MORE TAXES FOR SPAIN
Senior Silvela Announces His
Programme.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
Sagasta Is Blamed for the Result of the
War With America-The Fall of
Premier Is Imminent-He
Doesn't Want Office.

Madrid, Jan. AT the meeting this
Silvela formally confirmed the previous
ly reported complete agreement be-
tween himself and General Polavieja,
and made an important announcement
of the conservative policy. Senior Sill
vela said he recognized Senior Sagasta's
services to the throne, but censured the
premier's policy in Cuba, especially his
conduct with regard to the war between
Spain and the United States. He de-
clared that the present cortes was NOR
ally dissolved and said he believed that
the fall of Sagasta was imminent. The
financial question, Senior Silvela said, he
regarded as most important. He IA
vored tax on all personal property, the
increasing Of direct tax on all personal
property, the increasing of indirect tax
alton and the effecting of large econom-
les IN pensions, supporting the mainte-
nance of the concord with the vatican.
and advocated the reorganization of the
administration of justice, freeing 1t
from the influence of politics.
He favored also electoral reforms and
the establishment of a ministry of pub
lie works and commerce and maintain
ed the necessity for giving powerful
impulse to the industrial resources of
the country. Regarding foreign politics,
he held that Spain's geographical posi-
ton precluded her becoming a territory
governed by foreigners, adding:
I'VE must, therefore, reorganiZe the
army and navy, so as to be in a position
to defend the country in case of neces-
sity"
In conclusion he declared that he did
not believe Senior Sagasta was DESTROYS
of retaining office. The cabinet will
meet tomorrow and on Monday Sagas-
ia will go to the palace and notify the
queen regent of the ministerial crisis.

court from the quarter sessions court of
Philadelphia the case pending against

defunct Peoples bank (now deceased) in
the alleged misuse of state funds on de-

defendants averred the belief that they
could not obtain fair and impartial trial

the part of the trial judge (Finletterl.

A FIGHT TO TIL. FINISH
Another Chapter in the Big Sugar
War,
SEARLES TAKES A HAND
He Has Pulled Out. From .Havemeyer
and Together With .Ksene. Will
Buck the American
Company.

New York, Jan. John E. Searles,
the former partner of Henry 0. Have
meyer, the sugar, magnate, is not i'll.
He is said to be enjoying excellent
health. Wall street brokers say a bat
tie royal is imminent between the two
leading sugar men.
Searles is said not to be alone in lis
trouble with Havemeyer
James r. Keene is his friend and will
be his ally in the coming struggle for
supremacy in manipulating the sugar
market When Searles sold out his
holdings in the Havemeyer stocks his
story that he wanted to take a rest
and retire from active business because
of his age and i'll health was credited.
1t was discovered later, however, that
Keene had been of material assistance
to Searles in disposing of his stock
Then it was also discovered that Keene
and Searles had acquired sudden lik-
ing for each other and We're holding
frequent conferences
Now that he is out of the sugar fight
with Searles, Havemeyer can have only
one object as far as Searles is con-
cerned, and that is to bear stock and
cheaper it. With their millions and
shreWdness Sear1es and Keene wiu
make a hard combination to "buck'
against, and bigger and brainier men
than Havemeyer might well quail at
the prospect.
In the street it is whispered that
Searles must know something about
sugar which influenced his action in
pulling out and forming an alliance
with Keene.
