LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

The young Democrats OF NeW-JerSey are IN
revolt against the leadership which has been
leading the party from bad defeats to worse
with painful regularity during the last ten
years. Democracy was betrayed and sold out dur
ing the early 90's by the aggregation OF states
men who engineered the coal combine and
racetrack legislation, but, unlike the Repuoh-
cans of later days, the decent Democrats were
unable to drive out Of the party the grafters
and rascaIs and most Of them got out them
selves in disgust.
A handful Of the faithful hung on, hoping
amid hopelessness for the good time coming
when the Old Men Of the Sea could be unloaded
and the party started on q new career or con-
quest and glory But the men who wrecked
the party refuse to let go their grip. Now
there is q growing feeling, and it is gaining
strength each day. that there must be divorce,
even If IT requires oratorical violence to accom-
plish 1t.
Those who are calling for rehabilitation Oh
the Democratic party in New-Jersey understand
perfectly that those who broke ranks during the
decade ending this year cannot be lured DacK
bv mere promises They want formal and en-
phatic repudiation Of the old bosses, and the
language must be SO plain as to preclude all
doubt regarding the purpose and feelings De-
hind it. Alderman Thomas A Davis, of Orange,
has been asked to head such movement, and he
is in every way qualified to do 1t. He has ab1l-
ttv courage and character. But the men who
must be driven out and ostracised II the party
is ever to make respectable showing have am
pIe financial means to make fight and hire
mercenaries and when the contest comes, II

Washington, Nov. 15.-Madame Nabuco, wife OF
the Brazilian Ambassador, returned to Washington
to-day from visit to New-York. where she has
been collecting rugs and other effects for her new

reception on Monday, when they will greet all

preparing to entertain great deal this winter.

THE ISLE OF PINES.

There is q suggestion of significance in the
simultaneous appearance Of two reports con-
cerning the Isle Of Pines One is that the
American residents of that island have is
sued q declaration Of independence" and
have seeded from Cuba. The other Is that
a syndicate Of sporting men" proposes to
make the island second Monte Carlo"-to
wit. winter pleasure, and especially gam
bling resort The public will await with some
curiosity a revelation of the possible relation
ship between the two. Meantime it may be
worth while to consider briefly the attitude
of this country toward the Isle of Pines.
The Treaty of Paris of 1898 provided that
Spain should relnquish all claim of sovereignty
over and title TO Cuba, and should cede to
the United States Porto Rico and other islands
then under Spanish sovereignty In the West In
dies AS the Isle of Pines had for centuries
been politically part OF Cuba, it gener-
allv assumed that it was included with Cuba
in the Spanish Remuneration, and that the 'other
islands" ceded to the United States were Mona,
CuIebra and the others adjacent TO Porto Rlco
Some persons, however, seem TO have thought
and profess to have acted on the theory. that
tI,.. Isle of Pines was separated from Cuba and
WAS ceded TO the United States The former
view however prevailed at washington When
American occupation of Cuba was ended the
Isle of Pines was turned over the Cuban gov
elpment Just the same as Cuba itself 1t
was il is true provided in the Plat Amend
ment that the Isle of Pines should be omitted
from fbe constitutional boundaries OF Cuba,
and the title thereto be left 10 future adjust
ment by treaty 1t seems probable that our
government then had in view acquisition OF the
island for use as a coaling and naval stalioh-
But it presently secured two such stations ID
Cuba itself at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda
Then, finally. In July, 1903. the treaty called
for by the Platt Amendment was made by the
United States and Cuba, specifically confirming
Cuba's title to the island. That treaty was
signed, and ratified by the Cuban Senate,
but has not yet been atihed by the United
States Senate
Such is tho story Of the Isle Of Pines. There

Peace News in Europe.

London, Aug. S0.-In diplomatic
quarters the news of peace did not cause
so much surprise, because most of the
diplomats had felt that peace would re
suit from the conference The optimis-
tic views of the members OF the diplo-
matte corps as telegraphed to the Pub
fishers Press thoroughly cover the views
held by the diplomats. On the quest
ion of indemnity, it is estimated here
that Japan will really receive about
5000, 900, 600, through the reimburse
ment she will receive for the care OF
Russian prisoners, and as represented by
the value of the Harbin-Port Arthur
Railway, as explained in previous dis
patches. Japan's action in yielding on
her indemnity demand has called forth
the greatest praise from all Europe.
London, Aug. 30.-The first news
which Europe received yesterday that
the peace ENJOYS had come to an agree
ment and that a treaty of peace would
be signed came through the Publishers
Press. This ''beat," conveying as 1t
did information which was greatly de-
sired, is regarded as one of the greatest
achievements in the journalistic line OF
recent years.
st. Petersburg, Aug. SO-The news
that peace had been agreed to did not
become generally known here until this
morning, owing to the lateness of the
hour when the word arrived yesterday.
The information reached a few of the
summer gardens and theatres at mid
night and was received by the people
who heard it with manifestations of joy.
At every place the health of NJ. White,
the Russian envoy who concluded the
peace, was drunk with champagne. There
is general rejoicing today among the
people over the news. NJ. Whites name
is on the lips of every one, and he has
become the foremost man in Russia,
hardly excluding the Car. The fact
that he was able to avoid the payment
of an indemnity to Japan is regarded as
great victory, although the cession Of
half Of Saghalin has caused some adj
verse comment.
