BlLkiNG THE CUBANS.
Havana Citizens Having Much Trouble
 With Swinders from U. s.

From the Havana (Cuba) Post
 One more American has hastily left Cuba, leaving an unsavory trail behind him. This last one to leave was man who was acquainted in some of the very best business circles of that city, and when it was known that he was gone and the circumstances which surrounded his departure, every one was astounded. Can we blame the natives for looking askance at an American when they come in con- tact with him in a business way? Not when we have such examples as we have recently, where a man had done business on the island for three years and then when 1t was the very least expected de- camped, leaving many people behind to mourn his loss. And see the littleness of his meanness Not content with beating business men out of large sums of money. he even got down so low as to beat poor widows out of their diamonds and young boys who had intrusted their savings to him. Such occurrences are enough to make all Americans look suspiciously at one another.
 But let us hope that with the rlddanee of this last bad American, we have seen the last of his class In Cuba; that the with the army have been weeded out and those who remain and those who hereafter come will be of a better kind. For the good name of the Americans, it is hoped that it will be thus.

MT. Cochran's Versatility.

From Harpers Weekly.
 In the recent mayors race in New York Mir. Bourke Cochran spoke for Tammany. At the mayoralty campaign preceding he spoke against it. He usually speaks on one side or the other whenever an impor- tant campaign is on. We hope he will continue to do so. His art is highly re- markable. Its display always entertalns and edifies thousands of listeners But why should MT Cochran speak only on one side in given campaign? His dis position to favor each side turn about in different years is very fair and friendly. but why not speak for both sides in each campaign? That would be friendler and fairer still. The same brass bands play for both sides every campaign. MT. Cock ran possesses and plays upon rarer and more delectable instrument than is in use in any brass band in town, but he only plays for one party in any given season.
 It seems a pity and a public loss that he should see fit so to restrict himself He could certainly have made better speeches for Dr. Low last month than for Colonel Mcclellan, but he only spoke for McClel- Ian. We don't think he does his talent justice when he restricts 1t in that way.

Chamberlain as a Swimmer.

From Men and Women dondon).
 Lack of physical exercise may have had to do with MT. Chamberlain's bout of gout; but there was a day when he de- lighted in sea bathing and was an expert swimmer That was when he entered parliament in the middle of the seventies A gentleman who happened to stay at the same hotel at Scarborough, in 1876, related that he used to see MT. Cham berlain, towel in hand, though it was then late in the summer In impromptu swimming and diving competitions, Mr. Chamberlain usually came in first, with his son, the chancellor of the exchequer, then a lad of thirteen, a good second. His fondness for children is also not gener- ally known. A Sunday school was once holding it's annual picnic in the grounds at IIighbury One of the games was a kissing game, and as the mirth became fast and furious MT. Chamberlain was observed to leave his post under the trees and to advance into the ring. His shar- ing in the fun was received with delight by the young people, and the laughter rose to the highest pitch when tiny maiden walked forward and claimed his salute, which he heartily gave.

BARK IS RAMMED
 BY MALLORY LINER
Araby Maid Goes Down in CoI-
 IiSiOn With Denver
TWO SEAMEN DROWNED.
Lifeboats of the American Vessel Are Quickly Manned and Sailors of Norwegian Craft Are Res
 cued From the Sea.

New York, November 26.-Officers of the steamer Denver of the Mallory line. which has just arrived from Galveston, report a collision with the bark Araby Maid while at sea thirty miles off Tortugas island on Saturday night.
 First mate I. B. Myerland of the bark and Berger Ericsson, a. sailor, were drowned, and the bark. which was heavily freighted with lumber, sank five minutes after she was rammed by the Denver. Eleven of the crew were brought off the wreck by the Denver's life boats. The bow of the steamer was injured.
 Quartermaster Rudolph, who was at the wheel of the Denver stated that a very high sea was running when the big steam CT struck the bark aft. The life boats of the Denver was quickly manned and the crew of the sinking bark were taken aboard the Denver. The two victims were found wedged in the wreckage. Both men had evidently been caught in the falling rigging and drowned while en- tangled in the rope
 The Araby Maid. a steel .hu1led bark
  was bound for Rosario Argentine Repub- ic from Mobile, and was commanded by Capt. Larson, a Norwegian. Larson, who was rescued says many of his men were in their hunks when the crash came and were aroused by the inrushing water Two of the rescued, a second mate and cabin boy, were taken from a piece of wreckage just as the boy was about to sink. The bodies of the two men who were drowned were buried at sea. Capt Larson says he saw the Denver bearing down on him but too late to save the ship. As soon as the collision occurred the Denver backed and the bark began to drift away. Capt. Evans of the Dem yer ordered the Denver's searchlight into play and in it's field those on the Denver saw the bark eapsize.
 No official statement as to the cause of the wreck was given out by the Mallory line officials.

ORGANIZER WILL
 MAKE A PROTEST
ZINC WORKERS OBJECT TO THE PRESENCE OF TROOPS IN THE RlkE-AFFECTED COAL DIS TRIcTS OF UTAH.

Salt Lake City. November 25.-A special from Helper, Utah, says;
 John keliher organizer of the United Zinc Workers, has gone to Salt Lake to protest to Governor Welles against the presence of state troops in the strike affected coal districts of Carbon county. 1t is also stated that he will employ coun- sel to defend Organizer Charles De Molli, who was sentenced to thirty days in jail yesterday for disorderly conduct, with out, it is alleged being given any chance to defend himself. The .dail at Price where De Molli is confned is heavily guarded to prevent possible attempts at rescue.
 There is little change in the strike sit uation. The output of coal at all mines is almost at 9 standstill. Serious trouble is looked for if the companies attempt to bring imported men to fill the places of strikers.

GREAT SALT LAKE
 BRIDGED BY STEEL
Last Section of Southern Pacific
 Cutoff Completed
MANY OFFICIALS PRESENT
President Hartman and Party of Railroad Men Make Trip of lnspec- ton Over Tracks TraVers-
 ing the Lake.

Ogden, Utah, Nov. 26.-one hundred and two miles of track, composing what is known as the Ogden-Lucien cutoff across Great Salt lake. was formerly declared completed today and made a part of the Hartman railway system.
 The dedication of this track, which cost the Southern Pacific Railway com pany many millions of dollars, but which it is estimated will result in a saving of more than S500,00o yearly in operating ex- penses, as well as reducing the running time between ogden and the Pacific coast by two hours, was the occasion of the assembling of fifty of the most prominent railroad officials in the country. The party making the formal trip of inspection oyer the tracks leading across the waters of the Great Salt lake was headed by E. II. Hartman, president of the South ern Pacific. With him were the heads of practically all the lines forming the great trans-continental systems known as the Hartman lines.
 The party included H. G. Burt, presi- dent of the Union Pacific; Fourth Vice President J. Krutschnitt of the Southern HaclIc; PreS1dent A. J. Earring or the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; Presi- dent David Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson; Vice President J. N. Faithorn of the Chicago and Alton; Second Vice President J. T. Harahan and General Manager J. r. Wallace of the Illinois Gen. tral, and representatives of the passenger and freight departments of nearly all the lines interested.
 The last spike marking the completion of the cutoff was driven several days ago at a point nearly opposite the place where thirty-four years ago was driven the golden spike that closed the gap be- tween the lines of the Union and Central Pacific railroads on Promontery Point. Many old residents of Utah cities who witnessed that ceremony accompanied the railroad officials today in the formal trip of inspection over the new track.
 Tonight President Hartman and other officials will continue west from Lucien, Nevo to make an official inspection of the improvements that have been made in the road between that point and Reno, Nev Several million dollars have. been spent on the system across Nevada.
