nicipality, which were drawn for pay
ment before Jan. 1, 1899, but not paid,
wish toslevy upon the municipality for
payment. The military order which pre-
vented claims brought against munici-
palities for liabilities prior to 1899 has
been declared not to affect the bonds.
and the holders have obtained judgment
against the city. The plan Of the mu-
nicipality was to pay off all municipal
debts when a loan was raised.
Mayor Gener says that the budget of
the present year can not meet more than
the current liabilities II the bond
creditors are allowed to proceed matters
will be serious. Secretary OF Finance
Cancio has rejected the Havana budget
and says that new one will have to be
prepared as the present one is based on
a problematic estimate of values, the
new assessments giving an apparent in
crease in the city's income of $1SO,OOO
but until the assessments on property
are examined and determined the old a
sessments must, according to the law,
be used as the basis.
Cancio says that if the municipalities
of the island are to be kept in order they
can not have autonomy. If they are all
lowed to rule themselves they will be
ruined. If the municipality of Havana
IS to be put in order the only way to
do 1T is to have Governor General Wood
take charge.
One hundred and fifty white Cubans
are to be enlisted for period of two
years under the same conditions and
qualifications governing recruiting du-
ties for the purpose of taking charge of
the artillery in the Cabanas fortress
when the Americans withdraw. These
troops, who will be known as the Cuer-
pc de Artilleria, will be trained by
American officers. Capt. Aultman, of
the artillery. will make the preparations
TIC obtain recruits.

Presidential Talk.

Washington, Aug. S.-That there is al
ready considerable in national politics
and in the personality of the man who
will succeed Present Mckinley is evil
denced by the fact that members of the
senate and house arriving here are dis
cussing the prospects of their fayorites
and making predictions as to who the
republican nominee will be.
Representative Curtis of Kansas is
here. and he is inclined TO the belief that
Vice President Roosevelt stands better
chance of securing the nomination than
any of the other presidential possibili-
ties. Representative Curtis believes
Vice President Roosevelt's western trip
lis not made exclusively for the purpose
of hunting game, but that it Is the
New Workers. intention to pave the way
to secure a nucleus Of the western dele
gates to the next republican conven-
ton.
The vice president is extremely pop
ular in that part Of the country, and
hii' friends believe that by continual
contact with people Of that section 1t
will be possible for him to secure the
support OF enough delegates from the
west to make him factor in the next
presidential race.
On the other hand. the friends of Sen
ator Hanna assert positively that he is
doing nothing whatever that will con-
tribute to his nomination. and that the
attempts of his admirers to force him
into the raceare distasteful to him.
Senator Fairbanks chances also are
discussed. but as both Senator Stewart
and Representative Curtis seem to be
followers of Senator Hanna and Vice
President Roosevelt respectively. they
are not inclined to think much OF the
| chances of Senator Fairbanks. Tho the
latter is conceded by them to be a large
factor in the race.

WILL CHARGE FOR DOCS.
Western Roads to Treat Them as Elk
cess Baggage.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Dogs are to be
checked as baggage on the western rail-
roads at the same rate as bicycles and
baby carriages. Instructions to this eff
feet were given yesterday by the execu-
tive committee Of the Western Passenger
Association to the general baggage
agents of all lines who have been meet
ing here for several days for the purpose
OF adopting UNIFORM rules regarding
baggage
With one or two exceptions the rail-
roads have not charged anything for the
transportation OF dogs in baggage cars.
The plan 10 classify dogs as excess bag
gage is likely to raise a storm of protest
from sportsmen and others. II the hunt
ers take concerted action they can COM
pei the railroads not to put into effect
carrying dogs. It may be that some of
the railroads will not agree to checking
dogs at excess baggage rates.
II should think 1t would be great
mistake for the railroads to charge for
carrying dogs" said one prominent pas
senger official. To exact fee for car
rying dog would make us responsible
for any loss or damage to the animal.
We would soon fnd that every dog that
was hurt or killed on the train was ex-
ceedingly valuable. A worthless cur be-
fore entering the baggage car would be
Transformed into q beast with pedigree
mile long and worth several hundred
dollars-as soon as an accident hap
pened to it on the car. So long as we
carry dogs free we can do SO at the own
er's risk, and he has to see that the dog
is fed and watered. II we asked excess
baggage rates we would be bound to de-
liver a dog in good order and condition
OF the destination would have to feed
and water 1t, and the owner would not
have any of the trouble. think the plan
TO charge for transporting dogs would
rrove much better for the owners of the
dogs than 1t would for the railroads.,

was a renewal of yesterdays liquidation
by tired holders, resulting in March con-
tracts declining to $500; May also declin-
ed to $3.50. There was recovery of
3Q5 points on the close, due mainly to
short covering. Receipts continue to run
below last year. but this feature is off

for spots but for cotton goods. The latter
are gradually accommodating. Estimated

New York, Feb. 16-European advices
were steadier than anticipated, but with
out the effect of checking the liquidation,
which appears to have set in as a result
of the tendency of the American mills
to curtal their production of yarns. Re-
ceipts at the semi-weekly towns are the
same to-day as last week and last year.
Commission houses with Wall street con-
nections were the largest buyers, taking
the cotton sold by the long liquidation.
The stock of American cotton goods in
Shanghai on Jan. / was 5000 bales of
sheeting and 1880 bales of drills. This
is estimated at about half the annual eX-
port of goods from this country. OF
English cotton goods the stock is rela-
lively small. This weakness of the past
week has been due to trade conditions.
