GOOD WEATHER FOR LIGHTS
Fog Makes Gas and Electric People
Smile, for the Days Are
Dark.

This kind of weather brings Joy to the
hearts of the gas and electric light mag
mates, and whenever one OF them gets up
in the morning and views a dense fog
which envelops the entire city a shout of
great glee is given forth. For on foggy
days artificial light must be used and this
is just what the light companies want.
Another fog, another day in which gas
light must be used, another increase in the
companies revenue" said G. w. Clabaugh,
manager of the Omaha Gas company, as lie
was riding down town on the street car to
and entertaining friendly feelings for the
weather man, can you? In every large
building in the city artificial light must
be used 10 a considerable extent on dark and
foggy days-and one day is considerable
longer than several evenings combined. But
when the bills are sent out at the end of
the month the consumer cannot understand
why they are higher than formerly. They
then forget all about the fog and the extra
lights used"
Controllers Of artificial light in Omaha
say that the consumers as a rule also for
get that the evenings in the winter are
longer than in the summer, and they are
prone to make comparisons of their winter
bills with those received in the summer
and to declare that the companies are
soaking them while the weather is cold
and the days short.

ana.-Secretary of State Velez
in reply to Senior Soler, the Spanish
minister, has declined to consider
SPANS proposal that Cuba assume a
portion of the Spanish national debt.
This announcement was made at the
close of what Senior Velez described
as most amicable negotiations be.
tween himself and the Spanish minis.
ter relative to SPANS desire that
Cuba assume proportion of the Span.
fish debt. The secretary on Saturday
gave out the following statement:
"The Spanish minister to Cuba on
May o. 1909, addressed to the Cuban
department of state a courteous note
setting forth the desire of his govern
ment to maintain the closest and most
friendly relations with Cuba as be
coming two countries so closely united
by blood, tradition and mutual inter
est. He said that he had been in.
structed to express the desire of Spain
for discussion OF the matter of the
debts contracted by Spain ON account
of Cuba when the latter was her col.
ony. Spain founded her contention on
the principle that a country separated
from another should be cfargeabe
with part of the debt of the country
from which It had separated.
Having studied closely the antece-
dents of this question, which public
opinion in neither Spain nor Cuba sus-
pected of being still pending, Secre-
tary Velez replied on June 10 to the
note OF the Spanish minister. Senior
Velez declared that the acceptance OF
the Spanish view was incompatible
with the provisions of the Cuban con-
stitution, to which Spain consented in
recognizing the republic. The secre-
tary had decided, consequently that
his government was unable to enter
into negotiations on the question OF
the Spanish colonial debt"
