Gibraltar, Dec. 5.-Out of the fogs
and mist, out of the all-engulting
ocean where for eight long days no
sail had glistened on the sea, suddenly
land arose before us in the bright sun
shine-the precipitous rocky coast of
Portugal, like an embattled wall pro
tecting the shores of Europe. Here
was life once more, ruins of a moor
ish castle, a Christian convent high up
on the rocks of Cape st. Vincent, and
most suggestive of all as heralding our
safe arrival a signal station answer
ing our flags. The passengers crowd
the decks, and during the bright after
noon seem not to tire in gazing at the
wall of the land, now curving out, then
curving in from the sea. Midway be-
tween the cape and the entrance to
the straits Cadiz lies flat and shining
on the shore more peaceful than the
day when Cervera's unhappy fleet set
sail, to return no more, but to leave
their bones in Santiago's harbor. After
midnight the Rock of Gibraltar leaps
up out of the sea, it's TANKS and crown
cleaning in the darkness from sea-
level towards the zenith with myriads
electric lights.

historical reflection. Calpe (the name
of Gibraltar i'm classic times) and
Abyle, the opposite promontory on the
shores of Africa, were the celebrated
Pillars OF Hercules, which We're then
considered as the bounds and metes
of land and sea. The Carthagenian,
who was the sea rover of ancient times,
never passed beyond those pillars. Not

MASCAGNI IS ARRESTED
ELIMINATION OF COMPOSERS
FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Mittenshel Brothers Bring Civil
Action for Alleged Failure of
the italian to Garry Out
His Contract with Them.

Boston, Nov. 8.-The financial troubles
existing for some time between the Mas
cagni Opera Company and its managers
reached a climax tonight when Pietro
Mascagni, the composer, was arrested
upon a civil suit for alleged failure to
fulfill his contract brought by Mittenshal
Brothers who. with Samuel Kronberg
were his original managers.
Mr.. Kronberg washed his hands of the
whole affair. as he asserted, several days
ago and left for New York.
AS soon as the writ was served upon
Mascagni at his hotel, his counsel petit
toned Judge Sheldon. of the Superior
Court for an immediate hearing of the
case to which he said his client was en-
titled under the statutes. The justice re-
fused to proceed with the hearing, saying
that 1t should be held in open court and
made the writ returnable in the first
equity session of the Superior Court Mon
day next.
Bail in the case which had at first been
fixed at $4,000 was reduced to $4,000 and
this was furnished late tonight by Richard
Hurd. Samuel Kronberg and Louis Kron-
berg.

TO TAKE CONVICTS
OUT OF THE MINES
Board Will Exercise Immecyate
Supervision Over Them and Safe
May Mine Coal Itself.

the administration of Governor Jelks.
been observed in Alabama a great many
years.
Governor Jelks said the matter of plac-
ing convicts under the immediate super
vision of the State, instead of leasing
them to coal mines. had been under con-
sideration some time and that he had APP
proved the action of the Board of Convict
Inspectors in notifying the mining COM
panies that the convicts wocld not be
lea sed after January /.
The Governor said a proposition would
be submitted to the mining companies for
the State to operate their mines with
convicts. and to deliver them coal at q
certain figure
And suppose the operators reject this
proposition" he was asked.
1--WE will take care of the convicts out
side of the mines,' the Governor replied
promptly. 1--WE have determined posi-
lively that State convicts shall no longer
be subjected to conditions existing in the
mines.''
Asked IL the new order would affect con-
victs leased to farmers and to turpen-
tine and lumber plants. the Governor said
he did not think it would; that the con-
ditions ut these convict camps, so. far as
he was advised was satisfactory.
The conference between the mine ope-
rators and the Board of Convict Inspec-
tors, to be held next Thursday, will be
looked forward to with interest.

Washington. Nov. S.--(Special 1.-The
Washington Post. which Is on intimate
terms with the administration. makes to-
day this positive statement:
"It Is the purpose of the administration
to bring about long-discussed reduction
in the representation of Southern States,
both in Republican National Conventions
and In the House Of Representatives.
TO have a free hand for accomplishing
this purpose, the administration Intends
to obtain pledges for SUFFICIENT party sup
port from sure and safe Republican
States, in advance Of the next National
Convention to assure the Presidents
nomination for a second term without
reference to what Republican delegates
who come up from the Solid South may
demand.
This plan has been acted upon. 1t Is
understood, as result of a suggestion OF
Henry C. Payne, the Presidents chief
political advisor. He wishes Mr.. Roose-
welt to be absolutely free from all obli-
cations to the Southern delegates so that
he may not be embarrassed In favoring
reduction in representation from the
South. Mr.. Payne attempted to get con-
sideration for this plan at the last Ma
tional Convention in Philadelphia, but
was prevented by Senator Hanna, the
chairman of the Republican National
Committee. Mr.. Payne being vice-chair-
man of that organization.
Hanna's Debt to South.
Senator Hanna's position was that
both he and President Mckinley were
under obligations to Southern delegates
for having stood by Mr.. Mckinley in the
canvass of 1896. and that II would only in
jure the Republican administration to
appear to be antagonistic to the party
organization in the South.
Mr.. Payne appreciated the logic of
Senator Hannas position, but conditions
have changed. and the Republican Party
In the nation can now afford, perhaps,
to get along without further dictation
from petty bosses in the South, whose
influence is exerted to control local con-
ventions which elect delegates to Ma
tional Conventions of the party, rather
than In getting out a respectable show
ing for the party at the polls.
THE result of Tuesdays elections
shows that the South, which is repre-
scented by 1875 seats In the House, has
probably elected only four Republican

gave them an official welcome to the

the Governors official family, city Of

well filed with vivacious and beautifully

the Chicago party arrived at the Execu-
tive building In brilliantly illuminated
electric cars. A. p. Woodbridge chairman
of the Citizens Committee, introduced the
delegation in a body and Governor Sayers
delivered a brief address, Mr.. Shed re-
spending for the Chicago party. The

tended their hospitality to the Chicagoans
on their rush through the Black Islands.
At the former place carriages awaited

from the balcony of which dozens of
young women and matrons waved a well

Passes Away.

New York, Nov. S.-Nellie Corcoran.
who for twenty days lay in mysterious
state Of coma in St. vincents hospital,
died early today. Her case was an ex-
tremely puzzling one to medical practi-
TONERS throughout the city. The girl fell
into a state Of unconsciousness October
IS at the house where she was employed
as a servant. At the hospital where she
was taken heroic efforts to dettrmine the
cause Of her condition met with little
success. Hundreds of physicians exam
ined her and every known method was
tried to awaken her, but with little sue
cess. Two or three times she was aroused
and spoke few words, saying she was
sleepy and again became unconscious.
Electricity was applied and in hard
doses but ineffectively. Neurologists and
Psychologists tried to diagnose the girls
condition, but could not. Specialists or
nearly every medical field were called In
but they arrived at no conclusions as 10
the cause Of the coma or its proper dag
nosis. 1t was even suggested that some
one had hypnotized her and efforts 10
throw off such a spell were made, but
to no purpose. Her temperature increas-
ed rapidly, she became emaciated and
finally stopped breathing, after having
slept continuously twenty days. An au-
topsy will be performed by one of the
city's leading physicians in an effort to
solve the mysterious cause Of the girls
death.

Is no doubt here that the President to re-

A personal friend of the President not
