t.ives I Iterance to Some Sumjed
ive Thoughts.
Vftdrid. Aug. 27.—Gen. Azcarraga, the
~.i n;sh ; s h premier, at the cabinet council,
ovfr which he presided last night, de
clare! the government would follow in
t l, footsteps of the late premier, Senor
Canovas.
Continuing, Gen. Azcarraga announced
that the government had full confidence
In Capt. Gen. Weyler's political and mln-
Isterial conduct of affairs in Cuba. Per
f, the premier was aware that the
insurrection in Cuba was approaching an
tut. and if the United Slates made any
demonsti iion, which he hoped would not
he the case, he said Spain would do her
duty.
The premier closed his speech by ap
pealing for the good will of all conserva
tives.
Senor Sagasta. the liberal leader, has
made a fresh declaration on the political
situation. He says it is daily growing
worse iii Cuba, and continues serious in
the Philippine Islands. Senor Sagasta is
r . h to apply autonomy to Cuba, and
expiv egos the belief that the liberals will
jv-umc power earlier than expected.
Referring to the possibility of a rising
in favor of Don Carlos, the pretender to
the Spanish throne, Senor Sagasta asserts
that the Carlists are already prepared for
a ri-ing. and are only awaiting a false
step upon the part of the government or
a favorable opportunity to take up arms.

Washington, Aug. 27.—Gen. Woodford,
minister so Spain, has cabled the state de
partment that he will leave Paris on the
31st for San Sebastian, where the queen
regent Is spending the summer.
Recent r-ports from Spain said that the
queen regent would not receive Minister
Woodford until she returned to Madrid,
but the state department has been aware
for some time that Gen. Woodford will be
tcv ived at San Sebastian unless the queen
contemplated returning to Madrid very
;:oon after his arrival in Spain. It has
1 unusual to receive foreign ministers
re no courts have been established and
ourt has been maintained at San Se
ian.
rasters Cushing and Lowell were re

hiie there has been no apparent hurry
ji n. Woodford to reach his destina

DOINGS AT SEAGIRT.
Change" In the Ranges Not Urgnrd
ed ns Improvement".
Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 27.—During the past
year a great many changes have been
made in the arrangement of the targets
here, and some of the crack shots think
that the changes have not improved the
range. The tiring point for two, three, five
and six hundred yards Is now one contin
uous line, like the Avondale range in Sa
vannah. The two and three hundred yard
ranges now have sixteen targets each, in
stead of ten and five, respectively, as in
former years. The five and six hundred
yard butts contain ten targets each. The
tiOO yard targets are now placed on top of
the sand dunes on the beach and the
bullets fired at those targets fall into the
sea. This year the commands of the reg
ular army stationed In the vicinty of New
York are using the Sea Girt ranges for
their annual target practice and the pres
ence of a company of the Thirteenth In
fantry has interfered a great deal with
the preliminary work of the Georgia team.
Several of the*regulars were interested
spectators during the practice at 200 yard)?
on Wednesday. After a few of the Geor
gians had fired and made fairly good
scores, one of the visitors re
mared to his fellows that It
was time to go home, before
he became entirely color-blind, the white
disk indicating bulls-eyes having appear
ed so frequently as to impair his faculty
for distinguishing colors.
The shooting Wednesday was confined
to one round of seven shots per man at
six hundred yards, and one round of ten
shots at two hundred yards. Some of the
scores were quite good, and, considering
the conditions under which the team shot
at two hundred yards, the result of the
day s practice was very fair.
Austin. F. C. Wilson and Dreyer did not
complete their scores at six hundred
yards, on account of the closing of that
range for the day at 1 o'clock.
The several scores follow:
200 yds. 600 yds.
Postell 29
Cann 47 33
Myers 29
Mercer 43 27
Hopkins 28 23

F. C. Wilson 50
The wind blew about twelve miles an
hour during a portion of the 200-
yard practice, and this accounts for many
of Che poor scores made at that range.
The Thirteenth regiment of the army
will probably enter teams in the company,
and regimental contests next week,
though the commanding officer of the
company now here, stated to-night that
he had talked with some of their men, and
that they are frightened at the showing
made by the Georgia boys.

Buffalo, N. Y„ Aug. 27.-The grand
army has elected its officers for the ensu
ing year and the encampment has ad
journed to meet at Cincinnati next year.
To-day’s session lasted from 9:15 o’clock
this morning until 3:15 o'clock this after
noon without intermission.
Opening under the order of business the
encampment took up the election of Senior
vice commander-in-chief. Alfred Lyth of
Bidwell, Wilkeson post of this city, was
placed In nomination by-Maj. A. K. Smith,
the commander of his post, and was elect
ed unanimously, there being no other nm
inatlons.
The election of a junior vice-commander
in-chlef W'as'not aceomi Ished until after
noon, there being four candidates and sev
eral interruptions to the proceedings of
the encampment by speeches and the ad
mission of a committee from the woman’s
relief corps. F. B. Allen of Connecticut,
the candidate of the naval veterans, was
chosen on the second ballot.
Dr. David Mackay of Dallas, Tex., was
elected surgeon general unanimously and
Rev. Frank C. Bruner of the First Meth
odist church, Chicago, was in like manner
elected chaplain-in-chief.
Post Commander-in-Chief Walker of
Indiana was presented with a stiver ser
vice by the encampment, the address be
ing made by William M. Olin of Boston.
A committee from the Woman's Relief
Corps was admitted to the hall, and pre
sented the convention with several beau
tiful floral emblems and made a brief re
port of the work of the Woman's Relief
Corps for the past year. Mrs. Woodley,
national president of the army nurses,
was also admitted to the convention, like
wise Mother Ransom of California, 82
years old, he oldest army nurse living,
and Mr. William Seatt, who spoke for
the colored veterans, who were unable
10 attend the encampment.
Among the reports receiving favorable
consideration in the executive session In
the encampment was that of the pension
committee. It recommended a readjust
ment of widows’ pensions, and presented
a form of proof and application in pen
sion claims substantially the same as that
embodied in the Pickier bill, w'hich has
passed the national House of Representa
tives, but has not passed the Senate.
The report stated that the present com
missioner of pensions had consented to
adopt new rules substantially the same
as those in force during the Harrison ad
ministration. The report also recom
mended that congress pass a service pen
sion law to apply to all veterans who have
reached the age of 62 years. The report
of the committee having in charge the
memorializing of congress to purchase
several of the most Important battlefields
about Fredericksburg. Va., and conneat by
government roads, was adopted.
The invitation of the Young Men’s
Business Association of Richmond. Va.,
to hold the encampment of 1899 In that
city was recognized and thanks extended.
This association was Informed that the
question could only be considered by the
encampment of 1898.
Another committee reported favorably
the proposition to establish national parks
at the battlefields of Vicksburg, Stony
River and Appomattox. The report of
the committee on text books used in the
public schools was adopted. The report
deals severely with some of the histories
used in the south, charging that they mis
state the facts as to the cause of the re
bellion and present them from a southern
■point of view. A regret is expressed thut,
after an examination of all the histories
used In the states that were loyal to the
government, in the opinion of the commit
tee none merits the qualified Indorsement
of the organization.
The report closes with the following rec
ommendations: First, that this encamp
ment urge the continued agitation of tii
question of the Improved text hooks in
our s< bools that relate to the history of
the United States, especially as to tho
events of the war of the rebellion.
Second, that the nation tl encampment
authorize the appointment of a permanent
committee on Ihe subject of'teaching pa
triotism in our schools, which ifhall make
a report each year.
Third, thut It be urged upon each de
partin' nt of the G. A. It., and recommend
ed to the Woman's Relief Corps, the Hons
of Veterans, and all allied organisations
that they give direct and persistent at
tention to the selection of proper text
books for use In our schools and the ex
clusion therefrom of such as are improper.

FLAYED OFF ON THE STRIKERS.
Operator* Led Them to Relieve The y
Hail A tin uiloneil Their Furpoae.
Pittsburg, Fa., Aug. 27.—C0al operators
of the Pittsburg district have not been
asleep during tlie [last few days. Tho
Impression in certain circles that there
would be no attempt to start the mines
seems to have been established for a pur
pose, and that purpose was 10 divert at
tention of the miners' officials. It has
been definitely decided to star) several
mines along the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
preliminaries were completed and
a decisive move can tie expected nt almost
any time. It waa given out that the Cleve
land operators had gone to their tionu-s
for the ostensible purpose of awaiting the
result of ihe St. Louis convention. Some
of them went, but others did not. Those
remaining behind were member* of the
newly appointed committee, whose duly it
is to perfect tho arrangements for slatt
ing some of the mines.
One of the first movements will he to
get In touch with the railroad companies.
The mimed officials are agreed to co-op
erate with the operators In bringing about,
if possible, an era of activity in the coal
producing Industry of the Pitt* burg dis
trict. It was made very apparent that
the .atlroads were losing 11 large amount
of business, and that they were xeliow sut
ferers with the coal operators.
Tlie question of the expense of getting
imported labor Into the district was dis
cussed and the rat bond companies agreed
to share their portion of the outlay. After
this agreement whs made tlie work of hir
ing imported labor was taken charge of by
a slice lilt subcommittee.
Just when they will be brought Into the
district could not lie learned. One of the
principal reason for selecting the Wheel
ing division of the Baltimore and Ohio is
the fact that men can be brought In and
unloaded in close proximity to the pit
mouths. They cun also be brought Into
tlie district from the south by Way of
Wheeling and would not have to be trana
ported throught very much of the Pitts
burg district. Another reason advanced
Is the fact that the mine*
along this road have been sup
plying coal for the locomotives
of the railroad and If coal is not furnish
ed, United 9tates mall trains could not
be run and tlie whole of the national gov
ernment would be Interfered with. Pro
tection would be forthcoming with no cost
Imposed on tho operators, us tlie govern
ment would be bound to protect and main
tain Its property at Its own expense. These
plana have all been completed, and the
work Is well under way.
Patrick Dolan shook hi* head when the
question of starting the mines by the oper
ators was broached yesterday. "1 do not
believe they will make such an attempt,"
he said. "I am of the opinion that they
will wait until after the convention at
9t. Louis. Just now It would a ldg un
dertaking to start mines In this district
with Imported men. Yet they may be
sincere in (heir Intentions.”
District Secretary Watnor does not an
ticipate Ihnt a general strike will be de
clared at Bt. Louis. He says It Is not
needed, as the miners’ officials are satis
fied with the progress which the strike is
making.
Henry Floeracheim Is trying to get his
miners to agree lo go to work a! 69 cents
rate and says they would do so but that
they fear personal violence.
Purring & McSweeney’* detective agency
or Fot tlh avenue has been hiring men for
the last dny or two to go and guard Ihe
mines, and Is said to have secured over
100.
James Jones & .Sons posted notices at
their Catsburg and Ivil mines this morn
ing to the effect that the mine* would
h* started up at the 69-eent rate. when,
ever the men are willing to go to work.
AI'OUI Ui) miners are affected, and a meet
ing will likely be held to consider the
proposition.
A ROSEATE VIEW.
Secretary Ilrlaluim Think* the Far
mer* Ought to Be Happy.
Washington, Aug 27 Assistant Secre
tary Brigham of the agricultural depart
ment to-day expressed the opinion that
the American farmers this year would re
ceive In the aggregate from 8400,000,000 to
$500,000,000 in excess of that received last
year for their farm products.
This, he said, means much to the far
mers. They have learned in the season
of hard times through which they have
passed to economize where they could, anil
to be careful In buying. They will use
the money they receive for thetr crop* to
pay off their ib'lits, cancel mortgages, and
In making improvements on the farm. This
seeina like a vn.rt aum, but stallstp-B sus
tain the claim.
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
Increased price of farm products would
Is nellt the hriioririg element. The price,
of laiior, he said, did not decline with the
price of farm products, and for some time
the farmers were forced to pav us mueti
for the services of those who did this
work as cviff, while their receipts were
cut In two. The tailoring man will bo ben, -
fitted by this advance. The farmers will
be discharging hi* Indebtedness nml to
make Improvement* will require labor
He will purchase more of the products of
labor, putting a vast amount of money In
circulation, anil this will create a demand
for labor In all lines, and men who have
been without employment or only partial
ly employed, will work full lime at fair
wages.

To-lla
Cleveland, 0., Aug. 27.—President Me.
Kinley surprised the people of Cleveland
by his arrival from UulTiilo this morning.
He will remain until next Wednesday.
Tlie reception of the President was nof
as elaborate as had been planned. Thera
"as no presidential salute fired by tha
naval reserves from tho old revenue cut*
ter Andrew Johnson; the cannon of stean*
and sull craft did not belch forth in deaf*
cning sounds in welcome, and (Inge dlj
not (latter 111 the breeze In honor of hid
Coming. There was reason for the absence
of all llils ceremony which had beer*
planned on an elaborate scale. It wad
l icking because the presidential party ar*
rlvul In Cleveland several hours nheai]
of schedule time, or. rather, the time an*
tlci|>ated by those who had planned Hid
local reception.
The Comanche, which brought the pres.
Identlal party from Buffalo, arrived In*
aid** of tho Cleveland harbor at 2:3d
o’clock. There she lay at anchor until
7 o’clock, when steamed into the In*
tier harbor and nuffle fast at the dock.
I’resilient McKinley waa unusually
pleasant In his demeanor. Ho talked vol*
itbly of his trip from Buffalo, of the O. A.
U. encampment, which he pronounced to
bo the greatest in its histoty, and spoka
In Ihe highest terms of the mnnner In
which the people of Buffalo had handled
the encampment. He waa asked his Im
pression concerning prosperity as gather
ed from Ills trip across the country.
"You had better ask business men about
that, h** replied. "They lan give you
better information thun I can."
At 7:30 o'clock the carriages arrived at
tin* doi It and the party lert the Comanche.
Tin* crowd had increased but little In size
since the yacht first eanie up to the dock.
There were not more than 150 people lit
sight.
President McKinley decided to spend tha
afternoon quietly at Mr. Hanna's home.
The naval reserves, however, were deter,
mine-l not to be deprived of Its presiden
tial salute. The Andrew Johnson accord
ingly steamed out into tho lake off Mr.
Hunna s residence, anil after firing twenty
one guns returned to the harbor.
Those who came from Buffalo on tha
Comanche worn President and Mrs. Mc-
Kinley, Secretary and Mrs. Alger. Miss
Alger, Frederick Alger, Senator
Hanna, Col. M. T. Herrick, H.
M Hanna and William Chisholm. Vico
President Hobart anil Mr*. Hobart will
not come to Cleveland.
Asa sort of compensation for the dls
appolutm- nt of the |>cop!e who expected
to greet the President on his arrival this
morning it has hem arranged to hold a
public reception to-morrow afternoon at
3 o'clock at tho llollenilen hotel. The
President and Senator Hanna regret that
there Bhunlil have been any disappoint
ment. The lattir said this evening: "I
did not know that* a single arrangement
had lieen made fora reception or anything
of the kind until our party had reached
the house this morning.”
Senator Hanna said hi* received several
telegrams In Ituffalo yesterday asking hinv
wluit time tho President wotild arrive lit
Cleveland and to all of them ho had re
idled that he did not know, for every
thing depended upon the weather. It
was not certain the President would coma
by boat until he went ulioard the yacht.
Mr. Hanna said he discouraged a publta
demonstration for the very r< uson that it
could not he ddlnituly steted what tlma
the President would reach Cleveland.
The Cleveland arrangements were made
quietly, the Intention being to surprise tho
President, and for that reason tha peo
ple on the yacht, knew nothing about th
reception.
