BiR Wall Street Failure.

New York, Sept. 1o.-The announce ment is made on the Stock Exchange of the suspension of Hatch & Foote. The story which is interwoven in the facts leading up to the assignment is one of the strangest that Wall street men of this generation have heard. Both Mir. Hatch and Mir. Foote were clerks in the old investment house of Fisk & Hatch. which did a large business in government bonds 30 years ago. In 1867 they form ed a partnership, but not until three years later did they become a Stock Ex- change house. Mir. Daniel B. Hatch was the board member. MT. Foote had charge of the accounts. Like the firm in which they received their early training, they did quiet business and were locat. ed under the Fourth National bank, on Nassau street. Up to now they had been regarded as one of the substantial houses of the street.

Re.uIt of Cuban Elections.

Havana, Sept. 19.-The results of the elections of delegates to the forthcoming constitutional convention are being free ly discussed by the Havana delegates and other prominent Cubans. The con clusion reached Is that the convention will be controlled by the revolutionary element. Senor Alfredo Zayas, National ist delegate, says: "The convention will not allow itself to be influenced by any representatives of the United States. It will adopt and follow an independent pol icy throughout, in my opinion, refusing to decide as to the relations which shall hereafter exist between Cuba and the United States. This is a matter that should be left to a special commission" " Mayor Rodriguez expressed the same opinion, and other representative dele gates in various parts of the island adopt the same attitude.

Expansion.
 The position taken by the Republican leaders and more recently set forth by the Republican candidate for the presideney-yiz, that We cannot protect a nation from outside interference with out exercising sovereignty over its people-is an assault upon the Monroe doctrine, for while this argument is at this time directed against the proposition to give to the Filipinos both inde- pendence and protection 1t is equally sppcsbls-to the republics of Central and South America. If this government cannot lend its strength to an- other republic without making subjects of its people, then we must either withdraw pro- lection from the republics to the south of or absorb them Under the plea, that the guardian nation must exert authority equal to its responsibility, European nations have for cen turies exploited their wards, and 1t is a s.gnih- cant fact that the Republican party should accept the European idea of a protectorate at the same time 1t adopts s European colonial policy.
 The subjects however, treated in this letter, i'm portant as each may seem in itself do not press so imperatiyely for solution the question which the platform declares to be the paramount issue in this campaign. Whether we shall adhere to or abandon those ideas of government which have distinguished this nation and given to It's history its peculiar charm and value Is question the settlement of which cannot be delayed. No other question approach it in importance; other question demands such immediate consideration. It is easier to lose a reputation than to establish one, and this nation would find 1t a long and laborious task to regain its proud position among the nations If under the stress of temptation 1t should repudiate the self evident truths proclaim ed by heroic ancestors and sacredly treasured during a career unparalleled in the annals of time. When the doctrine that the people the only source of power is made from further at tack, we can safely proceed to the settlement of the numerous questions which involve the do- nestle and economic welfare of our citizsna

His Genial Reception.

General Starr. gallant old soldier, had an irrepressible dislike for young lleutenants fresh from West Point. In 1874 General Starr was In command at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with the message that Lieutenant Morrison, just from West Point. was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty. In response to this message the old general was starting for his office, when his wife. a motherly old soul. plucked him by the sleeve and said, Now, general. promise me that you won't be rough with that young man."
 "Rough?" said the old man. smiling amiably upon his matrimonial com panion. "Why, I'll be peaches and cream unless the young dog rifles me"
 Reaching his office, the general was confronted with dapper little fellow as spick and span as though he had just come from the hands of his barber and tailor, while he had the half super cillous air that seems inseparable from the first stages of military education. Looking the young lieutenant over for half moment, the old general said with great dignity: How do you do, Mir. Morrison. l am pleased to see you" Then as flush gradually mount ed over his weather beaten features he added: "I am always glad to see you young men from the Military academy.
