WILL PUSH GOMEZ
For the Presidency of the New Cubar
Republic.

Havana, Sept. 24.-Cubans who are
well informed as to local politics IN
connection with the coming election
say that, though the Cuban league ana
the Cuban national party are nomln-
ally uninterested, many members or
the national party are really deter
mined to push General Maxine Go
mez to the front as soon as an oppor-
tunity arrives.
The Patria, in an editorial. urges the
amalgamation of these two organlza-
tions and says:
1T is very important that the COM
ing elections should be guided and in
spired by one united party, because
upon the tone of the elections virtu-
ally depends the decision with regard
to Cuban independence"
1t also asserts that Gualberto Go
mez will hold off until all thought of
Maxine Gomez as a common leader
is absolutely repudiated. He is beyond
doubt a thorn in the side of all fac
tions, as he has a powerful backing.

REFUSED PERMISSION.
Canadian Regiments Cannot Take Part
in the Dewey Reception.


in tho Dewey Reception.
Toronto Ont, Sept PA special
from Ottawa to the Mail and Empire
saws:
The 4Sth Highlanders of Toronto will
not be granted permission to visit New
York to take part in the reception to
Admiral Dewey. The military depart
ment has not received the communica-
ton from the district commanding Of
ficer at Toronto embodying the request
of Lieutenant Colonel Crosby and his
officers for permission to make the trip,
but when it comes an answer in the
negative will be returned. The view
held here is that Admiral Dewey is TO
be the central figure of the New York
celebration. Under the circumstances,
therefore, it Is considered very impolitic
for a British regiment to participate.
The pipe band of the Royal Scots OF
Montreal has also been refused per-
mission to take part in the proposed
demonstration.

Indiana, writes:
I'm reply to your letter I beg to say that

wisdom of concerted action seeking such
legislation as will prevent those already
formed from seeking by arbitrary methods
to control the price Of any article of mer-
chandise or that en.ers into trade
and consumption among our people. In a
multitude of counsel there is wisdom. Such
a meeting, Characterised by moderation
yet fearless for the right, may be able to
reach such conclusions as will result in
the enactment Of wise laws by the States,
as well as suggestions of needed legislation
by Congress, looking to the suppression OF
unholy coalition by capital, Instituted for
selfish greed. / regret that the reunion OF

New story About Beecher.


A new story of Henry Ward Beecher was
told recently at Plymouth Church prayer
meeting by DIR. K. X. Cressey. OF Brooklyn
Hills. L l. 1t was "A story of DR.. Cressey's
boyhcod. One day his mother left the house
cautioning him and his brothers that they
must be very quiet and not romp while she
was gone. There was a hair brush with
which Mrs. Grassy was wont to punish vlo-
lations Of the domestic statutes when any
such occurred IN hc- well-ordered house
hold. and the youngsters promise to be
good and remained still as mice. Presently
Mr.. Beecher arrived 10 make a call on the
Cresseys. and found no one TO receive him
but demure-looking boys. A fash of antici-
patton came into his eyes as he joyously
told his young hosts 10 prepare for the
but mamma told us we mustn't romp."
protested the future doctor of philosophy.
TN take all the responsibility" replied
the great preacher.
When Mrs. Cressey neared the house on
her return she heard indications of a small
riot. Filled with Indignation at this I'M
heard-of rebellion in her quiet little re-
public, she rushed into the house, with
words OF stern rebuke trembling CT her
tongue. At the door she paused pttrihed
Henry Ward Beeeher was nat on his back
or the floor, with a parcel of Young In
dams apparently dancing a ghost dance on
his PROSTATE form and emitting slrill yells.
The appearance OF the avenger instantly
froze all the rebels into silent ct.nsterna-
tion except the arch-insurgent. Climbing TO
his feet the unabashed clergyman said:
Mrs. Cressey. l promised my friends here

break ~and"-here he reached for the hair

AN OsTRACIsED DIPLOMAT.
Ali Ferrouh Bey Too Free fn His Talk
with Women. M

Washington Special TO Chicago Record.
/ understand hat Ali FerroUh Bey. the
minister from Turkey, has been recalled by
TO Washington. Very few tears will be shed
at his departure. and some people VIII re-
joice. He is a handsome man and has at
tractive manners, but nc has forfeited the
popularity which he won when he came 10
the capital. A familiar tone which he
adopted toward ladies and his freedom OF
conversing was considered piquant and
rather amusing at first. but they soon got
tired of il, and he Is not received at the
best houses In Washington any longer.
In the diplomatic circles he is practically
ostracized for similar reasons, and partfcu-
iarly because OF certain suspicious circum-
stances in connection with several games Of
baccarat which were played for high stakes
at his legation at least two nights In the
week last winter. The minister Furnished Z
handsome supper. including some Turkish
dishes that were novel and appetizing. and
an abundance OF wines. Then the card-play-
younger members of other legations lost
large sums. Everybody who went there lost
something except the host. whose winnings
of the British embassy lost 80 much money
that the attention of the ambassador was
called to the matter and the turkish ieEa-
ton was tabooed by the young members Of
the diplomatic corps. while the older men,
bers found no attraction there.
Ali Ferrouth Bey's race has been rapid
but brief, and not at all brilliant. He a
said TO have a strong pull at the sublime
porte and may exert influence enough TO Sc
cure his return 10 Washington, but 1 am
sure the officials OF the Foreign ONCE are
familiar with his career I'm this city.
Among the other gossip IL Is said that tho
minister OF foreign affairs at Constantinoplo
called him 10 account because OF the alleged
presentation 10 the wife OF a United States
senator of a decoration OF merit seldom
conferred upon foreigners. The story goes
that i'm a generous moment ALI Ferrouh Bey
gave the richly jeweled insignia 10 this SEN
ator's wife with an intimation that he waa
directed to 90 so by the sultan. The mat
ter got into the papers, and was very extern
Europe. In tina way the ministers impul-
sive generosity came TO the knowlcdge a.
his superiors OF the Foreign once \
they called upon him for an explanation
which WAS difacult TO give.
