Spanish Reporter at work.

According to the Spanish reporter, says
the Times of Cuba the city's list of
crimes and accidents are on the decrease.
But the city editor suspects that yester-
day was an off day with the reporter.
However, he is really beginning to like
this reporter, although he scarcely ever
sees him. He usually sneaks into the Of
flee like a cat, looks cautiously about
and then drops his copy upon desk or
table and hurries away as though he
were glad to get away alive.
The following is his report as turned
in last evening:
Accident-The black man Eusebio Ona
Garcia suffered various accidental bruises
on the left hand Of a grave character,
caused by the unloading of rails at Regla.
Bull Escapes-A bull from the cattle
yard of Don Teodoro Cajigal escaped yes
terday, badly damaging the seat of the
black man Federico Gonzalez, who was
in the act of attentively watching a game
of baseball. The police sergeant Senior
Baldomero Gargallo killed the bull with
great skill, emptying his revover into it
in order to prevent greater disasters. The
man whose seat was hurt will not be able
to sit down for some time.
Fight-They were detained and taken to
the Vivac by policeman No. Sc. Don Jose
Prieto and Don Jesus Rodriguez who were
found fighting in the public way. Both
had several bumps on the head which
each respectively had given the other.
Disrespect-The gray man Francisco No

police. He was seen making faces at an
officer of the law on a corner when his
back was turned.
Disobedience-The colored lady Amabelle

Two View Reed stories.

Congressman Sherman of New York told
two new Reed stories this week. Reed
stories are always interesting, says the
Washington correspondence of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
During the closing days of the last
session." said Mr.. Sherman, "there was
a young graduate of one of the noted
universities who came to Washington to
study the workings of the government.
The young man was very strongly i'm
pressed with the idea that there was some
thing wrong somewhere. and ne became
imbued with the lofty purpose of finding
out what IL was and then Fighting it. He
bothered members of Congress persistently
in his search for enlightenment, and he in
duced some of them to give him letters
OF Introduction to Speaker Reed. 1t was
some time before he was able 10 secure his
much-coveted interview with tn speaker.
but one day fortune was propitous, ana
the young man WIS ushered into the
speakers private room. To his delight he
found he was to have the speaker all to
himself, so to speak. He presented his
letters TO Mr.. Reed, and. while the speak
er was glancing over them, he informed
him of his mission.
Mr. Speaker ne said, by way of in
Producing the subject which 1 have at
heart, allow me to ask you what you think
is the great question now before the Amer
lean people; the issue which is most en-
crossing the attention of the masses of our
population?
THE speaker thought for an instant and
then drawled out: I'm not quite sure, but
l think it's lodging bicycles
THE young man took his leave with a
grieved look, similar to that of bicyclst
who has just punctured his tire"
The story which Mr.. Sherman relates of
the speaker has to do with a visit made by
Mr.. Reed to Lake Champlain, N. Y. Mr..
Reed, Mr.. Sherman and Congressman
Foote were being shown around by ma
tive who had the story of that region at his
tongues end, and who, much to the amuse-
ment of his listeners was throwing in a
lot of historical fiction as establishment TO
his tale. The native seemed TO take a
particular interest in "stuffing'' Mr. Reed,
a spirit of fun Mr.. Sherman introduced the
speaker.
This gentleman" he said to the ma
tive, lis Speaker Reed. the speaker OF
the American Congress-"
DO tell" said the native without any
great degree of establishment.
I've heard somewhat of you," he con-
tinued, addressing the speaker. '"They dc
say as how you be the greatest speaker
what they have ever had. They do say
that you can speak for fifteen hours on 2
stretch"
"This is too much" said Mr.. Reed HE
takes me for a United States senator"

g. THIEF.s FAITHFUL DOG"

They have lynchings in the northern
part of this country. just as in the South;
but those who publish the stories of the
occurrences seem to handle the Northern
lynchings differently from the way the
Southern lynchings are handled. We
have a case in point In a recent issue Of
the Pittsburg Dispatch Under the head
line which we have quoted at the top OF
this article, was printed a dispatch be-
ginning this way:
Toledo April 9-Martin Furnival, res
ident OF East Toledo. was shot to death
near Monclova. this county this morning.
by Infatuated farmers. whose chickens he
had persistently stolen. A partner in
crime escaped. A load OF buckshot struck
Furnival in the back.
The dispatch then goes on 10 say that
the chicken thief, who was shot TO death
by the Infatuated farmers, was accompa-
MED by his dog. When his master fell the
dog took his stand by his body and refused
to let anyone come near It. The dog even
declined to recognize the majesty of the
law, and tried to bite the coroner. Final
~ it was found necessary to shoot the
faithful brute. It Is a very good dog story
which the dispatch tells, and is calculated
TO enhance the respect which men must
feel for their four-footed friends
~Meantime, the fact that the alleged thief
had been shot to death by Infatuated far
mers is made merely an incident of the
story. That the salient feature of the
narrative was the dog story is emphasized
by the Dispatches headline: "a Thiefs
Faithful Dog" 1t is hardly worth while
remarking upon how the story would
have been handled If an alleged chicken
thief had been shot to death by Infatuated
farmers in the South The dog would
have been merely an unimportant incident
in the actual occurrence, and he would not
have figured at all in the news report.
Maybe our friends of the North, In turn
ing narratives of lynchings into good dog
stories, act wisely. The '1awlessness" of
their section of the country is not adver
tised so glaringly as would be the case IL
the occurrence were written up as the av-
erage Southern correspondent is in the
habit Of writing up a lynching. And just
here IL may not be out OF place to remark
that thoughtless or careless correspondents
are largely responsible for whatever of i'll
repute the South rests under in the mat
ter of lynchings. Instead of seeking for
dog-story Incidents and writing them up
strong, the greater number of the South
ern correspondents seem to think it incum-
bent upon them to throw into their stories
as much blood and thunder as possible.
and TO make the lynchers as prominent
and well-to-do as can be DONE 10 such cor
respondents We earnestly commend a trial
OF che Toledo plan of looking for a dog
story in any case of lynching which may
occur.

THE TAMMANY DINNER.

1t was the expectation that Mr.. Augustus
Van Wyck, the principal speaker at the
Jeffersonian dinner of the Democratic
Club of New York, would outline the pol..
icy OF the anti-Bryan Democrats in his
speech last night, but If he did so he so
completely covered 1t up in his remarks
that its presence was not generally sus-
pected. Mr.. Van Wyck was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of New York
last fall and it has been said that his name
will be presented to the Democratic ma
tional convention next year as a candidate
for the nomination for President.
There is nothing in Mr.. Van Wyck's-
speech that is calculated to attract special
attention or to excite comment His sub
ject was American Commerce." and what
he said about 1t was good. He also had
a great deal to say about trusts-a good
deal in condemnation of them. He is op-
posed TO alliance with Great Britain. not
because he has anything against that ma
ton, but because he thinks it advisable
for this country to keep clear of alliances
with other nations, being plenty strong
being neither honor nor profit in helping
other nations to fight their battles
Mr.. Van Wyck thinks 1t is better for the
party TO aim to prevent evils which threat
en- the country than to neglect these evils
in the selfish desire for party success
Another thing that MIR. Van Wyck Believes
in is home rule for cities. Mr.. Croker
said something about that some time ago,
and there is every reason to think that
Mr.. Van Wyck is In harmony with Mr..
Croker on most public questions
The speech, taken altogether, is a very
good one, but it doesn't seem to have been
made with the Idea that the author of it
is the leader of a faction and may be a
candidate for the presidential nomination
of his party.

Thirty-eight years ago yesterday the
South was ablaze with excitement. From
midnight on the 18th of April, 1861, until
the night of the following day. the streets
of Savannah were filled with citizens Gag
er to hear the news from Charleston. The
Morning News office, then situated on Bay
street near Drayton, was the center of
wildly excited crowd. Every word that
came over the telegraph wires increased
the delirium. The South Caroliniaus had
fired upon Fort Sumter and after days
bombardment, Maj. Anderson and his gar
rison had capitulated. The great civil
war was on. The boom OF the guns that
awakened the South TO the opening Of the
conflict aroused the people of the North
also; and from that time on for four years
the best blood OF the country was spilled
in fratricidal strife. The recurrence of the
anniversary of the battle of Fort Sumter
revives stirring memories in those who
took part In the events of those bloody DAYS
which followed.

baron's striking resemblance to the Prince
which has so frequently caused him to be
mistaken for the heir apparent to the Eng

his malady. Once when the baron was ar

turbance, a riot was nearly caused by the
crowd which thought he was the Prince.

THE DOORS OPEN.

There is no doubt that MIR. Bryan Is
right I'm saying that only those who are
willing to stand on the Chicago platform
ought TO have Fart in the writing of TIE
the next Democratic national platform, but
1t is a question whether he isn't injuring
his chances for a denomination by appear
ing so much in the public prints and
pointing out who should and who should
not be regarded as Democrats. That is a
matter which concerns himself, however,
and It is his privilege to write and talk as
much as he pleases, and 10 give his opin-
ion as 20 who are and who are not Demo-
Gratis
The tendency of Mr.. Bryan's letters, in
which he draws the line between those
who. in his opinion, are Democrats and
those who, ne thinks. are incorporating
as Democrats, is to keep the factions OF
the party apart. There is no doubt that
only those who are in harmony with the
Chicago platform will be permitted to have
a hand In making the next Democratic ma
tional platform. There is no occasion,
therefore, for keeping the question of who
are and who are not Democrats constantly
before the public. If that matter were
dropped it is probable that the most of
the Democrats who refused to vote the
Democratic ticket in 1895 would quietly
drop into line and vote that ticket in 1900

tending TO do so PROBABLY, in the position
