most uumistasably the view prevalent
among all other Latin A merican peO-
piles. Instead of feeling jealous of the
of the canal, Latin-Americaus regard
it's construction as new guarantee of
peace, pledge of good will of the

"Mr. McKinley's ad miD istration has
received uneQuivocsl confirmation OF

BALLOT In Ohio.

perplexing problem now before the
officials who are arranging for the Cuban
constitutional convention is whether
Cubans who are really American citizens
shall be allowed to serve as delegates in
the convention. 1t has recently been dis
covered that several delegates elected
are Cubans who have not given up their
American citizenship. Whether they will
be compelled to do so is to be determined
by the convention itself. Not only have
Americans been elected to the conven-
ton. but one Of the Cuban Cabinet Of
ficers is an American. He is Senior Per-
fecto Lacoste, Secretary Of Agriculture.
Secretary LacOste 10 Republican and a
resident of Cincinnati. He returned to
the United States last week and went to
Canton, where he had a conference with
President Mckinley. He registered in

only recently that Secretary Lacostes
citizenship in the United States became
known. 1t is claimed there that when a
citizen Of another country accepts an
elective Office in Cuba he renounces his
citizenship and becomes a citizen of
Cuba, but to accept merely an appoint

BARON RussELL's WILL.
HI. Affairs In Better Condition Than
Had Been Supposed.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The will Of Baron
Russell of Killowen. late Chief Justice,
published today, increases admiration for
the man. 1t Is permissible now to say
that he was widely believed to be one Of
those gifted men with special public ca
reer who are unable to order their own
affairs. 1t was widely repeated in the
clubs, the law court, and Parliament that
he was hopelessly involved with the money
lenders.
An instance Of his courage commented
upon was his attack on the money lender,
Sam Lewis, during case, as 1t was sup
posed that he himself was dependent upon
Lewis. There was also a story to the ef-
feet that his wife and chief clerk during
his later years had to take his barrister's
fees and give him an allowance because
Of his great losses at cards and betting on
horses.
Another story was that he could not af-
ford to accept the judgship because his
creditors would not sanction the office in
come which the change must entail COM
pared with his great earnings at the bar
When he became Judge gossip had 1t that
Solicitor George Lewis, acting as a private
banker. financed his elevation.
The will today shows that he left prop
erty valued at f150,000, besides making
earlier provisions for several married sons
and daughters. Lord Russell had earned
and saved all Of this. Moreover. he stint
ed nobody. was generous and hospitable,
and enjoyed himself; but it is characteris-
tic of the man that though he did not dis
guise his fondness for horse racing, and

perceptions as to raise suspicion that
it might be well to examine his waistcoat
pockets for drops of some KIND. The
public would incline to the fear that
where clergyman could read Of the most
sickening and degenerate crime Of the
century and declare that 1t meant no harm,
to its victim the state of his own and
his congregations moral character would
repay enquiry.
1t would be no difficult matter to jump
to the conclusion that one who could
entertain such opinions would be very
properly added to the perverted selec-
lions already in Jail; and be kept there
until whatever there is of Jersey justice
applicable to his case could be applied to
it. AS for the chief criminals, including
the prudently penitent hackman who ap-
pears to have been IN cheerful attendance
upon other outrages Of like character,
the decent citizens Of Paterson ought to
know what to do in the circumstances and
take early steps to redeem the good name
of the place.

| Mr.. Mckinley wished to reduce to the
about to go out of existence by Limitation
of the law under which it had been organ
lied. Without action on the part of the
Legislature, it would have dwindled to the
strength of the ante-bellum establishment
Of about twentyseven thousand officers
and men.
Mr. Roots recommendation for the in
crease of our military establishment to
permanent basis of one hundred thousand
soldiers. and Mr.. McKinley's endorsement
of that recommendation, had no reference
whatever to the volunteer army which
was raised to fight Spain. Both were in
furtherance of a well-known design OF the
trusts and monopolies to take advantage
of the military spirit of the country. ex-
cited by war and victory. to secure per-
manent Regular Army large enough to sup
press discomfort among the laboring class
es at home and to assist in keeping the
trust party in power. through the enforce
ment by Federal troops Of the Force bill
which it is the intention Of Hanna and his
following to pass, In case they retain con-
troll of Congress and the White House. the
object Of it being to carry Southern States
by intimidation at national elections.
But for the opposition of the Democrats
in the Senate, the regular Army today
would be one hundred thousand strong
and a menace to liberty. Future condi-
lions in the Philippines may or may not
necessitate the employment Of a fresh
body of volunteers. after those now in the
service shall have been mustered out.
That question may be left for future con-
sideration. The trusts. should they win
at the polls and secure a Republican
House of Representatives as well as the
Presidency, will lack only two things to
give them absolute and autocratic power
over the American people. They would be
yet in need of a majority Of trust attor-
neys on the Supreme Court bench, and an
army big enough to terrorize workingmen
and the voters of the South. These things
they know they could obtain, with the aid
of a complaisant Executive and Legisla-
tive, and these are among the important
objects of their desperate campaign to
re-elect William Mckinley. 1t is for the
American people to say whether they will
contribute to the accomplishment Of these
ends, or defeat them.

HAVANA, Oct. T.-Salvador Cisneros

which he says that he considers the dis
cussions in the newspapers in regard to
who should be the first President of Cuba
as premature. He believes. however. that
the first President should be born Cuban,
and should not be. Of military or warlike
disposition. -4 f..
He considers Senores Palma and Masso
and DR.. Hernandez three of the best men
from whom the Cubans could choose their
President. He will oppose, he said. the
candidacy Of Maxine Gomez for the Presi-
dency, as under his rule Cuba would not
be prosperous. General Gomez, he says,
deserves the gratitude of the Cubans, who
should show II in a substantial way, but
he is not the man to elect as President.

GREAT PRODUCTION OF WINE.
French Vintage of 1900 the Larses,
for Many Years.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-All wine merchants
reports agree that the French vintage of
1900 is the largest and best for many
years. The plethora of wine is seen in
the universal reduction in the value OF
grapes, in some places quoted at only
ESQ a ton. There has been an extraor-
binary advance in the price of casks ev-
erywhere. There has been a revival of
the primitive custom Of sending two
casks to the vineyard and having one
filled with grape juice in return for the
other, and of allowing the populace to
enter the press house Of the vineyard
and in prescribed time drink all the
wine possible for a sou.
There is also great revival in the
brandy industry at Cognac, where eight
hogsheads of wine are reduced to one
hogshead by the simple process of burn
ing. The increased production is due to
the improved condition Of the vines and
not to the large area cultivated.

A NEW TORPEDO BOAT.
Test Made In the Model Tank at the
Navy Yard.

A test was made in the model tank of
the Washington Navy Yard yesterday OF
model of a new type of torpedo
boat. The vessel is a combination of
some of the features of the submarine
boats and ordinary torpedo craft. ALI the
vitals are below the water line. and the
small surface of the vessel showing above
the water is protected by cellulose, a ma
terial which expands on contact with
liquids and stops leaks.
The test was very favorable to the In
vention, the only objectionable features
being the low speed developed, fourteen
knots, and a very perceptible wake. 1t is
claimed that the vessel can be seen only at
close quarters. There will probably be an
other test after an attempt has been made
to rearrange the boat SO as to meet the
objections made by the naval experts. The
inventor is a New York man named Ber-
