GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR THE SPANIARDS
Vigorous Arrangement of the
Present Regime
BY A REPUBLICAN LEADER

Senior Margall Takes a Pessimistic
View of Affairs and Expresses Belief
That the Country Is Going HeadIong
to the ''Demnition Bow-wows."
MADRID, Jan. 17-The Liberal today
publishes vigorous indictment of the
present regime, written by Senior Mar
gall, the chief of the Republican Fed
eral party. He says that following the
closing of the chambers the nation has
become less hopeful and more fearful
regarding the future. He said:
"The budget has not yet been de-
stroyed, the treasury debt is unpaid, we
still owe the bank over 1000. 900. 900 pc
setas, agricultural wealth has not in
creased, and fanaticism is spreading, in
consequence of the support the govern
ment has given the church, which is at
tacking democratic institutions and the
sacred rights of man. The government
constitutes the best friend of Carlism.
All dynastic governments are powerless
to break the chain between king and
pope" F"
In conclusion, Senior Margall says it
is futile to expect the slightest improve
ment in the outlook.

Effected In April.

SAVANNAH, Jan. IA general reor-
Ranization of the railways included in
the Plant system has been determined
upon, provided the plans of the directors
can be carried out. The meetings of
the boards at which the reorganization
is to be effected will be held in April.
The Savannah. Florida and Western is
to be the leading line in the reorganiza-
ton. 1t is to acquire the stock of other
lines comprising the system and issue
preferred stock upon all the property in
cluded in the reorganization.
1t is said that the principal object
aimed at by the Plant system people in
the proposed consolidation is the simpli-
fication of the work of the auditing de-
partment. The labor of conducting the
affairs of many separate lines, too, would
be greatly decreased, and a general
board of directors might, with compara-
lively slight increase in time and work,

and food made them as tough as
wolves. Perhaps there came out in

East, horses that have come from a

from ranch, get into a herd of wild
horses and become one of them at once.
However as soon as the domesticated
horse is caught and separated from
the wild bunch he forgets all about
his wild company and is as gentle as
ever.
There are not many wild horses left,

horses away. The cattlemen shoot the
wild horses whenever they see them.

A FAREWELL TO REV. HUNDLEY.
Gainesville Gives Her Baptist Pastor
Great Send OF.

Gainesville, Fla, Oct. 21.-Possibly,
assembled in the Presbyterian Church,
was there last night to hear the fare
we'll of Rev. w. T. Hundley, who
leaves in a few days for Richmond,
Va, where he has accepted call to
enc of the Baptist churches of that
city. Standing room was at a premium,
and many who wished to be present
were forced to stand on the outside of
the building. The occasion was made
all the more suspicious by the attend
ance of the Pilgrim Commandery, No.
7, K. T.. and Mount Vernon Lodge, No.
20. K. of P, who attended in body,
Mr.. Hundley being a member of both,
and greatly beloved by his fellow
knights.
Mr. Hundley has been pastor of the
Baptist Church in this city for seven
years. Durinog his ministry he has
built handsome brick edifice for his
congregation to worship in. He has
greatly strengthened the members,
and he will be surely missed. AS a
citizen he has the respect and love or
every one. and it is with deep sorrow
that the citizens bid him farewell.
But, in his departure, all wish him
godspeed and abundant success in his
new field.
The National Odd Fellows Home
and Sanitarium in this city will open
for the season on or about Nov. 1. Mrs.
Harrison has been secured as matron
and this inSures that everything will
be of a flrst-clas nature. Members of
the Board of Managers state that the
season promises to be a most success
full one, and many guests will be
down.
All the arguments have been COM
pleted in the famous whisky case OF
Alachua county. and Judge Bullock is
expected to render a decision to-day.
Judging from the talk around town
the decision will cut little figure either
way, as it is rumored that an election
will be asked for by the losing side.
