Many a king has not bad so much power as tho mayor of Greater New York will have.” CUBAN AFFAIRS DISCUSSED. I*resident nn>l His AdvUcrs Hold an In | tereetlng tension. I A Washington dispatch says: The cabinet was in session for nearly two hours Friday, all members being pres cut except Secretary Gage, j Foreign affairs did not oocupy much of the time and the discussion was de InlXof Z" departments. These reports or an ab stract of them are desired by the presi dent, so that they may he discussed in his anuuat message to congress. Post master General Gary remained with the President for some time after the other members of the cabinet went away, discussing postoflice appoint ments. There was some discussion of the Cuban question and the seal confer ence > but owing to the fact that both these matters are in a transitory con dition, no definite action was decided upon. The president had hoped to secure a reply to his representations to Spain dui j n 8 ^ ie present month, but it was in the matter. There was more or less speculation on the part of members as to what would be the temper and character of the rejfly when it should he received, and the opinion was general that the ministry would manifest a desire to cultivate friendly relations with this country. The desire of the adminis tratiou appeared to he to meet these advances, if they are accompanied by a policy ou the part of Spain toward that will hasten the close of the war in accordance with American ideas, It is recognized that some time will be necessary to demonstrate tho policy of the Sagasta cabinet and the presi dent’s advisers are understood gener ally to favor^the policy of allowing a reasonable time before following up the first note delivered by Minister Woodfoyd with another of more press mg character, as originally had been intended in case the first note should notbr mg a satisfactory reply There wa. more ox- less discussion also of the proposed fur seal confer enee. It was stated after the meeting adjourned that it was not yet ered as absolutely settled that Great n am wou t not paiticipate in the The meeting also developed a con firmation of the report that the Union Pacific syndicate had agreed to in crease its bid to the government, to $50,000,000 and that the attorney gen eral, in view of this fact, had decided not to appeal the case. President McKinley will probably go to Canton at the November election. His trip has not been fully arranged, hut he has been asked to visit several places in the cinity while in Ohio, and these invitations may be accepted if the president can spare the time. He probably will attend the opening of the Carnegie public library at Pittsburg if his trip to Canton is not prevented at the last moment, THE W. C. Ti U. SNUBBED.

GUITERAS REPORTS EIGHT CASES IN GALVESTON. LOCAL PHYSICIANS HAYE DOUBTS. The Situation an Reported at New Orleans and Other Stricken Heetlon*. Dr. H. A. West, a member of the Galveston, Texas, board of health and the nominal head of the hoard during the sickness of City Health Physician Dr. C. W. Fisher, made the following announcement Saturday night: “Dr. Guiteras has reported to Dr. Wyman that there are eight positive cases of yellow fever in Galveston. Wo, the local physi cians of Galveston, held an informal meet ing Saturday night tQ discuss the matter. Some of the physicians do not agree with Dr. Guiteras, and they thought we should I10t submit to hls opinion; others agreed with him - Some of Ule Physicians did not facts justified the opinion thut tiie coses are yellow fever, Dr. Guiteras would not give out his report Saturday night, but through Dr. West it was learned that Dr. Guiteras thought that the disease would not he widespead of or a virulent char acter. Dr. C. W. Truehart, who has been through several yellow fever epidem ics, says: “I have examined two of the cases which Dr. Guiteras considered suspicious and I saw not the slightest trace of yellow fever, I have found no symptoms of yellow fever in my practice, and I do not believe it exists in Galveston today.’, There is every indication that if the disease is yellow fever it is a very mild type aud will be attended with little or no mortality. The opinion of the majority of the physicians at Galveston is that there is no yellow fever at Galveston, but a type of dengue fever has existed for the jiast sixty days; that there have been 15,000 cases of dengue and not a single death. People Are stampeding. Despite the assurance of Dr. Gnite ras that there is no neefl for alarm or excitement, or necessity of leaeing the a perfect hegira has set in, and every regular train leaving the city is P acked "'ith. people fleeing from the disease, and special trains are in de maU( U Situation At Other Points.

REPUBLICANS RATIFY Their Greater New York Municipal Nomi nations At Mass Meeting. The republican municipal nomina tions were ratified at New York Satur day night at a mass meeting at Cooper Union. Every seat in the big hall was occupied and the assemblage was au orderly one. The several candidates as they made their appearance on the platform were received with cheers. Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, was the principal speaker. The most remarkable thing that oe curred during Mr. Foraker’s speech was the wild cheers which broke out among the audience when the speaker mentioned Henry George. The body of the hall was well filled with George men who broke out like mad at. the mention of his name EX-SENATOR M’PIIERSON DIES. Succumbs to Heart Failure After a Fin gering Illness. Ex-Senator John Roderick McPher son, of New Jersey, died Friday night at Taylor’s hotel in Jersey City. He had been sick for some time with in testinal trouble. A few days ago he was obliged to take to his bed. His condition was not alariniug until toward the last. Finally heart trouble set iu as a com plication, and the former senator’s wife and daughter, who had gone to AVashington some days ago, were tele graphed for. Mr. McPherson sank rapidly, and death resulted from heart disease. CAIl BREAKERS PLEAD GUILTY. Dalton, < a., Hue Itlggcitt Court Day In Her History. Monday was the “biggest court day” Dalton, Ga,, has seen in years. The people began arriving early in the morning from all parts of the county. The gang of car pirates were placed on trial and all except one pleaded guilty. Walter Bohannon, the leader, ufter eleven years of outlawry and re peated detiances, threw up his hands when justice called him. Up to less than a week ago the rob ber chief scarcely dreamed that he was on the threshold of the penitentiary. He did not believe that ho would ever be indicted. He intimated that he had a pull which would save him. Bohannon underestimated the integ rity of Whitfield county’s citizenry or was blind to the strength of the cases against him. But when the grand jury handed in eleven indictments against him, he be gan to weaken. He and his whole band became demoralized and they made no defense when they were arraigned. Those who thus acknowledged their guilt were: Walter Bohannon, chief: Tom Kinneman, Bill Long, Ben Pearce, Ed Morris, Sam Painter, Jim Harris, who turned state’s evidence. Ralph Ellison, a drayman, who often handled the stolen goods for Bohan non, pleaded not guilty and decided to take chance of a trial. Judge Fite did not sentence any of the prisoners. He will wait until all the cases are disposed of, those in dicted for receiving the stolen goods as well as those who stole them. IJolmnnon’s Confemnion. Bohnnnon was called before tho grand jury some days ago and he mad* a clean breast of his crimes. He told how he began to steal; said that he had committed between 100 and 200 robberies, and he told what he did with the goods which he stole. On his testimony more indictments were found, or will be found. The sensa tions have not all been sprung, and any hour may bring something new. It is generally conceded that some who j are accused of receiving stolen goods I did not really know they were pur chasing articles which had been stolen, It seems the robbers had a fence, maybe more than one, engaged in merchandising in a small way. These small merchants acted as brokers, buy ing from Bohannon and selling to the larger merchants in Dalion and iu oilier places. Ralph Ellison is a stove tinker ped dler, a man who did any sort of an odd job. He had a horse and wagon, and was a town drayman when he was not mending and repairing stoves or tinware, or peddling. There is nothing striking about him, 'either in liis favor or against him. It is presumed that he will deny all knowledge that the goods were stolen. “GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION” Comes In For a Vigorous Attack By Colorado Judge. Judge V ilson, , ol the court of ap peals, at Denver, Col., with Judges Thompson and Biased concurring, handed down an opinion Monday in which he makes a vigorous attack on ‘government by injunction.” Judge N\ ilson said: “We cannot approve a practice nor subscribe to a doctrine which permits the exercise by the courts of the extra ordinary power of injunctive relief for every wrong or infringement upon tho rights of another. Such a course of procedure, if carried to its ultimate natural conclusion, would tend to en tirely subvert the fundamental princi ples upon which our system of laws is founded.” FATHER’S FEARFUL MISTAKE. Thought His Son Was n Burglar and Shot Him Dead. John Branyan, a well-to-do farmer living near Hoyle postoffice, two and a half miles from Norcross, Ga., shot aud killed his sixteen-year-old son Sunday night about 9:30 o'clock. Branyan had just retired. He oc cupied the same room with his son. He was awakened by some one walk ing on the veranda, and finding his room door a little open, suspected the presence of a burglar. Getting his gun, he sat on the foot of his bed. In a short while some one started in on the veranda. Bran yan asked the person to halt. Ho failed to stop, and Branyan shot and killed his own son. GLORIED IN MURDER. Mnllor Confesses To Making Wav With Klghtoen People. Advices from Rotterdam state that a man named Gustave Muller has sur rendered to the city police, confessing the murder of his wife and child. As proof of the truth of his confession he produced from his pocket four human ears. The police, on searching his house, found the two bodies. Subsequently lie confessed that he had also killed his parents, mutilating their remains in the same fashion. He also made the astonishing state ment that he had similarly disposed of fourteen other wives.

Milwaukee supplies the UnitedStates with the bulk of the Harts Mountain canaries, and there is no great crime in the deception, for the Milwaukee bird is realy an improvement on the imported article, having just a* fine a voice and being much hardier. Experience has shown that tire im ported singer loses the power of trans mitting his voice to the young after passing through an American winter. This is the case, also, it is said, with the Tyrolean singers who come to this country, their voices losing the pecu liar yodling quality when they have been here a year. The native canary is hardier than the imported ones, and, with proper training, is every bit as good a singer. Before they are mated the hen bird 3 are kept in separate*cages in the music room, carefully fed and made to listen to the music of the singers and the machine used in training their voices. In this way the hen is enabled to transmit the best musical quality to its offspring. The music room is a large one with a south exposure, and is kept with the same scrupulous neat ness as the breeding room. In the cor ner of this room is a bird organ, and with it the little birds are given their vocal training. When the machine is started the notes emitted are wonderfully like the song of the untutored canary. These notes are known to bird trainers by the term pfeiffen. Gradually the whistle strikes on to a different line. It i3 an improvement over the pfeiffen, and is called klingel rolle. A higher step still is called the klingel, and a still higher step hohl klingel. Lastly conies what is called hohl rollen, and a bird whose voice has been developed up to that point is worth $50 in the market any day.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Almost Inside Out.
