The Farce Perpetrated.

The primary election, to select cam
did ates for city Offices, was held on
Tuesday, and, as was expected at
tracted very little attention. OF the
500 voters in the city less than fifty
voted-about Is in the first and 30 in
the second ward. The following were
nominated. without opposition:
Mayor. r. Barto
treasurer. M. Sprague
Aldermen-First Ward, M. L..
Webb, Alex Beaudreau; Second
Ward-W. o. P. Hilsda!e, James
Ingram.
And that will be the regular ticket,
and will be- elected, without shadow
of doubt. They are all good men,
but inasmuch as the election will not
occur until April it is scarcely neces-
sary to say much at this time.
The expenses of the primary cleo
ton are upwards of fifty dollars
a wholly unnecessary expenditure of
public funds. The law should be
changed to exclude from its provi-
sions the smaller cities of the state.

AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Pauncefote Sounded Other Ministers
at Austria's Request.

Washington, Feb. 12,-In view of
the statements and contradictions
more or less official in character com.
ing from the principal European cap
itals respecting the attitude of the
powers individually towards the
United States just preceding the Span
ish war, the officials here feel nat
ural reluctance to being drawn into
the controversy and it is with difficult
ty that even unofficial statements can
be had on this subject.
One fact remains uncontroverted,
namely, that the European ambassa.
doris and ministers here called upon
President Mckinley April Z, 1898, in,
the effort to prevent war. The mat.
ter now in controversy is what hap.
pened after that call and the question
at Issue is as presented in the latest
phase in the European dispatches
Lord Pauncefote undertake to secure
the support Of the other European
powers in an attempt at forcible re-
straint upon the United States? Sift.
ing all the facts the conclusion reach.
ed here is that Lord Pauncefote's &C.
tivities in the direction of Intervention
has been generally misunderstood. 1t
is known that the Austrian minister
was untiring in his efforts in behalf OF
Spain. The United States government
has never cherished the least ill feel.
ing on that score. realizing that the
blood ties between the Austrian and
Spanish houses sufficiently excused
such an attitude. In the course of
these efforts Mr. Henglemuller turned
to Lord Pauncefote. as dean of the
corps, and sought to have him see
what measure of support could he Sc
cured for another and more forcible
representation to the United States as
to the undesirability of war.
Lord Pauncefote was confident that
no such proposition would carry but
he yielded SO far to the application OF
the Austrian minister as to submit his
proposition to the other representa-.
tives of the European powers. The re
suit justified Lord Pauncefote's judg.
ment of the outcome, and it probably
was the inquiries he made of this pro-
ceeding and not any proposition orig
mating with himself that led to re-
ports from the ministers and ambas.
sailors here to the European chancel.
