Of popular sentiment in connection with the
matter is strikingly demonstrated by the recent
general election where for the first time In
near thirty years the voters succeeded In frus-
trating the familiar tactics Of the government
officials at the polls. AS a general rule, an ap-
peal to the country in Spain has merely con-
sisted Of a nominal Of the constitutional
machinery in order to register the prearrangeo
result agreed upon by the two Sreat political
parties The government in office always allotted
to itself about two-thirds of the seats in the new
Cortes, leaving the Opposition with sufficient
strength to carry parliamentary warfare
until such moment internal dissensions in
the Cabinet or else the wishes OF the sovereign
rendered a change Of administration desirable
On this occasion, however, the electors got out

were unaple to accomplish their duties, and the
result is that there are at the present moment
some twoscore or more Republicans occupying
seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

But there was matter on which they were
entirely in harmony. The most ardent aDoh-

in his outspol1en fashion, that execrable sum
of all vianes commonly called the slave trade.

the Vatican which unlike Leo XIII, favors the
Carlist cause. In fact, the most impartial
observers are forced to admit that the support
of the episcopacy and of the religious orders
is indispensable to the crown, and that, there
fore, the latter cannot help itself. OF course,
something might have been accomplished in its

was welcomed when be attained his majority

ago But, unfortunately, the members Of his
personal encourage prevented this and even in
his progresses through the kingdom the be-
havior OF the dignitaries of his suite was such
as to antagonize those who approached him for
the purpose of offering their homage to their
young sovereign.
The people unjustly ascribe this condition Of
affairs to the Queen Regent, and argue that
there might be some hope Of preserving the
throne for her if she were to quit the coun-
try, forgetful Of the fact that her influence
throughout her regency was always in favor OF
Liberalism, opposed to the reactionary policy
of the Conservatives. If there is any influence
at court that is reactionary, it is not that of
the Queen, but that Of her son-in-law, the Prince
of the Asturias the brother-n-law, chief guide,
mentor and constant associate of the boy King
It is to him that must be ascribed the resolve Of
the crown to meet the campaign instituted by the
Republican party by force. instead of by con-

SUGGESTIONS FOR MANCHURIA.

If Japan, the United States Of America and
Great Britain agree to the conditions they
require in Manchuria, Russia will concede them
-grudgingly, grumblingly, angrily, perhaps
but she most certainly viii grant them rather
than risk war now. The terms should not be
onerous, but generous There need be no re-
striction to the number of military guards
stationed along the railway line; there need be
no insistence for immediate early military
evacuation; and, in the matter Of customs dues,
some abatement may be allowed on goods con-
veyed by rail from or through European Rus
sia while raw produce from Siberia can be ad-
rnitteG free. Possibly even a portion, or, better,
q fixed sum, from the customs revenue could be
paid to Russia toward the expenses of admins
tration. Russia really has few material inter
ests in Manchuria, and if foreigners are allowed
reasonable opportunities there she VIII have diff
fculty in acquiring particular and local inter
ests. The integrity of China is more likely TO
escape attack from Russia the greater expert
ence this power has Of governing Chinese terri
tory which Is subject TO the same pressure

My bosom is a watershed of tears,
All for the love of thee;
A hundred Sobbing rivers take their rise
Within the brimming springs of my sad eyes
And all for love of thee
Would that the desperate stream on thy hearts

Might plant this seed send of love-for thee,

THE DISPUTE Is AN OLD ONE.

1t is an extraordinary circumstance that the
two Oldest and most vexatious complications
with which the latter day diplomacy of the
motherland has been beset should be centred in
the island of Newfoundland the most ancient
colony One Of these entanglements is the
French Shore question the other is this Atlantic
fisheries question. Both had their origin in the
uoublous times of the eighteenth century, and
the legacy Of irritation and international bicker-
lngS which they have proved is eloquent
testimony to the supineness or ineptitude of the
British statesmen Of those days, who trafficked
in the peerless fisheries of Newfoundland with
every power that had to be conciliated.-(P. T.

gathered to attend the sale of dairy
farm owned By Senator Stewart, of
Nevada. The senator served to the
prospective buyers a light luncheon
consisting of coffee and ham and beef
sandwiches. Shortly afterwards so
persons were taken violently i'll, suf-
fering from ptomaine poisoning. One
after the other they fell to the ground
writhing in agony. Horsemen were
dispatched in all directions for doctors
and a number responded and took
prompt measures to relieve the suf-
ferers.
The doctors say that the patients
are out of danger, although many are
exceedingly sick.
An investigation developed the fact
that the beef, which had been pur-
chased in Washington and kept in cold
storage on the farm for several days,
was the cause of the trouble.
