EnuliSh General Election.

Parliament will be dissolved on September 25 on October 15 elections will be com pleted, and the new parliament will be assembled November 1. Thus speedily do political affairs move in England when once they are started. The campaign will not last over thirty days all told, instead of six months as is the case in Republican America.
 The Tories had in 1895, when the dis solving Parliament was elected, majority of 152 out of a total membership of 670. The Salisbury ministry has selected a time for dissolution that is free from serious troubles The Boer war was frightfully managed at the outset; numbskull officers from the aristocracy were put in command of troops and thousans of good men were slaughtered; but the war is now virtually ended and peace and victory in sight. The Chinese problem is not threatening, al- though muddled. The Liberals can only say that the Boer war should have cost less and should have been better man. aged. This is about all the issue they can present. The incompetence of the present organization will be dwelt on, but it will not win many votes.
 The truth is, the Tories are looking to win. This Parliament does not expire by limitation until next spring, but the gov ernment considered the present time oppor tune for a new appeal to the country. The Boer war is really ended, and the lega- tioners have been rescued The glamour of war is upon the tight little, island, and the ministry therefore goes to the people for approval or rejection. The Tories will win out. Domestic questions will not be considered. It is to be a campaign based on war. The Conservative majority will be lessened, but it will be large enough to give Lord Salisbury and MT. Chamber Jain great freedom in conducting the gov ernment

cuba's Constitutional Eiecti. n.

The negroes in the Santiago end of the island, and the radicals in the Havana end of it will control the convention. The mem- bers of the convention win not listen to protectorate. to any scheme that falls short of absolute independence.
 The parties of the island are the Nation alists, the Republicans, and the Union Democrats The Nationalists are the strong est in numbers, and is the most patriotic of the three organizations. Nearly all of the insurgents are Nationalists. That party be- lieves in Cuba for the Cubans, but Is not nearly so radical as the Republican party of the island, which fights anything Amer ican The latter believes in Latin-Spanish civilization. and its leaders are Juan G. Co., meg, a mulatto writer and orator. and Ca- pote and Manuel sanguilly. who has been elected a delegate.
 The conservative party of the isian1 is known as the Democratic Union. It is strict ly a minority party, and it is supposed ito favor either annexation or a long-protec- torate. It does not seem to have made much Of showing in the recent elections. It is not sn aggressive party. and it suffers from the distrust of the people, who believe it has accepted American ideas.
 The leader of the Nationalists is Gen. Maxine Gomez, and 1t is very probable that they will dominate the convention, an it is also probable that between them and the still more radical Republicans constitution will be framed that Congress will reject and the island will continue to be ruled by General Wood as it is at pres ent. -ai

Ger manys demand for the surrender of all persons guilty of crimes in the Pekin atro- cities is plainly impossible. and it means of course that Germany is in China to stay, as all have had reason to believe before this demand was made. In the gen. eral muddle. the administration does not know which way to turn It is between the people and Congress. and it Is com pelled to stay in China without knowing what it can do there. It Is in a fair way to become a cipher in the gigantic game of international politics now being played in China.

Administration All At Sea.

The Russo Mckinley scuttling plan was too full of holes to hold anything or to hold out. It was too plainly a scheme of Russia's to hold Manchuria, which Russia has already seized. That country is willing to leave Pekin. or even Tien Tsin if it can secure an understanding with China as to Manchuria. and the chances are its willy diplomats have already gained such con- cession.
 But the administrations courage failed them when they considered the effects of the cut and scuttle policy. True, 1t went to China without constitutional warrant, and now it finds that getting out is more difficult than getting In. If it goes out at the heels of Russia and its me too" France, it would turn 90O0 native converts of the Methodist and Presbyterian missions in Pekin over to the Chinese authorities and certain death. This made the adminstra- ton pause and reflect. It naturally wanted ito get out of China before a critical Con- gress meets, but it does not want to be a party to a massacre of native converts. So the Russo Mckinley combine has gone to pieces.
 The administration is now at sea. II does not know which way to turn. The President turns first to one side and then to the other, hesitating as he always does, and presenting no definite policy to either. At present England and Germany seem to be in alliance against Russia and France, with Japan and the United States as free lances. fne truth is, each nation has .

THE SUPREMACY OF ROOT
Washington Correspondent in New Yo World

Washington Correspondent in New Yorl, World.
 It Is stated on the authority of A close friend of the President that, with two ex- ceptions-the Secretary of War and the Sec retary of Agrlculture-all the members of the present cabinet have signified to him their desire to retire to private life next March even should he be reelected. and that the question of their successors is now engaging the attention of the poli- ticians and causing the President consid- erable anxiety.
 The supremacy of MT Root is noticeable socially as well politically, anS it is said to have exerted an influence on the ac- tions of the gentlemen. MT Root stated to a prominent real estate man a few days ago that he would erect palatial home Tn Washington If he were sure the Repub- licans would win, and that he would talk plainer after the election. During the con- Ing season Mrs. Root will easily be the leader of the official set
 Mrs. Hay is in deep mourning for her mother, Mrs. Amasa Stone of Cleveland and if she follows her present plans she VIII not come to Washington at all this winter.
 Mrs Long is an invalid, and her daugh- ters will not be here. Mrs Smith and Mrs Hitchcock are not inclined for social ex- ertion, since they do not expect to remain in official life. Miss Wilson's health is greatly impaired, and it Is likely that she will remain at her home in.Iowa She is now in Paris, but will soon sail for home and will go directly west.
 Mrs. Griggs is in mourning and has en- feebied health in nursing Miss Helen Grggs through long and serious attack of ty- phoid.
 This leaves Mrs. Root as much in possess sion of the field socially as her husband is politically.

Close and Doubtful Indiana.

Mark Hanna and the monied interests behind him carried Indiana in 1896 after a hard struggle, by 1s,1Sl plurality. Govern or Mount himself says the State was Dem ocratic in 1896 until the Hanna movement was begun and carried out. similar movement cannot be rendered effective this year, because there are clements that cannot be bought or coereed.
 In 1896 the scattering vote was only SS9S. It has usually been about 2000O. It will be more than that this year. The Prohibition ists claim a vote of 10000, on account of the retention of the canteen in the army by the administration. Nearly all of this vote will be drawn from the Republican party
 There is no enthusiasm among the Re- publicans. They are not well-knit togeth- CT. Ex-Presdent Harrison fatly refuses to endorse MT. Mc<inley's colonial policy, or to make speeches in the campaign. Gov ernor Mount does not like the weak atti- tude of his party on the trust question, and he is believed to be unfriendly to Mark Hanna. There are many cliques and divis- ions and quarrels in the party throughout the State. While Mark Hanna is hurrying speakers into the State, the home Repub- licans cultiyatng old differences and inYenting new ones
 The campaign in Indiana from this time to the day of election will be very warm Indiana will be the one state in the Union in which old-time political activity will be displayed, but it is doubtful indeed if a full Republican vote can be boiled be- cause of the numerous differences that ex- ist. The Democrats know that a majority of the State is Democratic, and their la borers look to a full vote and fair count. A fair count in Indiana is exceptional If it can be secured Indiana will go Demo- cratic in November.

It was a famous fight. it was a glorious victory But vanauished and victor, meas uring alike the old struggles for mastery at sea. recall only the cheering memories of achievement-this and others-as splen- did herItages of a reunited people.
 The happy thought inspiring this Ports mouth celebration Is 10 have wide range of useful influence. These bronze records of mutual recognition have become by their association symbols of a nation jealous of the name and traditions of all its people, now happy in the blessings of a perfected and of an indissoluble Union.
 It is peculiarly fitting that the stirring initial impulse should come from the rug ged and patriotic soil where Daniel Web ster was born and nurtured For it was he to quote a part of Secretary Longs admirable speech of acceptance, "who pronounced and largely insured the indis- solubility of the Union and it's identihca- ton with liberty now and forever" These words have the resonance and the sheer ity of the sea, and ought to warm the cookies of mems hearts everywhere.
 What is more, the tablets are well placed to carry into every ocean the story of brotherhood fixed in it's resolve to repel every assault against the integrity of the nation. They are testimonials of loyalty that impels over seventy-fve millions of free and intelligent men to make peace permanent by an assured preparation for war They assert two theories-one the protection by North and South of every citizen that may be engaged in the legiti- mate channels of trade, and the other the hauons paramount duty to inculcate the precepts of liberty, honesty, non-interfer- ehce and equal rights wherever tidewater run and breezes blow

 Probably most of the ancient martyrs were married.
 When a woman thinks she has convinced a man, she has generally only made him sick.
 You can never tell from a woman's looks whether she has the earache or whether she Is only in love.
 You can get the truth out of woman by fiattering her, but to get 1t out of a man you have to get him scared.
 The average woman is as careful to save her minister's feelings as she is to save the black plumes off her old hat
 Every woman whose husband can never pay his debts believeth the world will real ize some time what a great man she mar ried
 Lots of women go through life thinking that all the other people think they are ar tistic simply because they keep their hair half mussed up.
 The only difference between a married man and a man sitting in fresh paint is that the man sitting in the paint generally doesn't know 1t.
 Every woman zines that something about her is ''yo.3erful" Either she has "wonderfull' hair or eyes, or else she has . "wonderful' talent for something.
