HOME RULE FOR CUBA
Spain is to Establish This
Shortly.
STATE DEPARTMENT SO NOTIFIED
"Will Ba Realized by the Tima the Span
ish Coitm AssemblesBow Home
Kule Will Be Secured.
Washington, April 20. The Spanish
government within a few weeks will pnt
into execution a comprehensive eyatem
of home rnle or autonomy for Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that the
state' department has received from
Madrid information to this effect. .
The law which will be put into effect
was signed by the queen regent March
15, 1895, and will be followed np by the
rules and regulations developing the
present scheme of reforms. By the
.time the queen regent makes her ad
dress to the Spanish cortes, which as
'eembles in one month, the law will be
promulgated throughout Cuba, and the
long-expected home rule will be realized.
The element of home rule is secured
by the establishment of two local bodies
drawn largely, if not entirely, from the
residents of Cuba. One of these is to be
known as the provincial chamber of dep
uties, the other as the council of admin
istration. The latter has appellate juris
diction over the former. Large powers
are granted the council of administration
in the internal management of -public
affairs, but the governor will continue as
the supreme representative of Spain,
and will have direct charge of military,
naval and international questions.
CHINA'S POSSIBILITIES.
She is on tbe Eve of a Great Internal
Chanjge.
Chicago, April 20. M. R. Jefferds, a
civil engineer, widely known through his
connection with railway construction
and equipment in this and other coun
tries, recently returned from a prolonged
absence in the Orient.
To a reporter he eaid : "The result of
my visit in Chicago on my trip from
China to New York has been the forma
tion of a syndicate for the purpose of
establishing an American-Chinese cham
ber of commerce for the introduction of
American goods and wares at Shanghai.
Reciprocal relations can thus be estab
lished to the benefit of both nations.
"George S. Bowens, an old citizen of
. Chicago, has been chosen . president of
the organization. J. Ensign Fuller, well
known among Eastern manufacturers,
has been chosen as manager for the
United States. W. E. Town send, of
San Francisco who is thoroughly in
touch with the manufacturers of the Pa
cific slope, and Fang Wong an attache
of the Chinese legation in England, and
who was here with me last summer, are
to be the managers in China. James
Detrick, formerly snperintenent of the
Southern Pacific railroad, is to be the
' superintendent of construction and ex
hibits. ' ; ; ' ' . .
."I do not believe that China would
naturally become a great or even a mod
erate manufacturing country, because
. their tastes do not run that way, they may
be forced into.' manufacturing and 'pro
ducing thiDga that they have heretofore
bought from Europe and America,' on
account of the great difference that now
. exists in exchange under the present
monetary laws of the United States.
"The industry of the Chinese, like
that of the ' savage, is simple, while
purs is a product and a result of high
modern civilization. It has been truly
said that.no other country can profit so
much by diversified industry as "the
United States, for no other country has
such varied natural resources. ' There is
a vast field of commercial enterprise for
us in China and the' Orient, which is
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
i mm
: now being opened and, practically, un
impeded. . ' '
"United States Consul-General Jerni
gan.one of the best representatives in
China, recently wrote me:', "One fact
should ever be kept in mind by our
country : China is on tbe eve of a great
change. It may be retarded by conflict
ing claims of national rivals, but it will
come up eooner or later, and , the only
way to reap our share of the results of
the change is to prepare ourselves, and
this point should be pressed upon the
consideration of our countrymen, who
ought to consider it most carefully in all
its bearings and far-reaching " conse
quences. - . - - ', " ,
"China is about entering into the con
struction of a system of railways that
will open up her vast resorces and act
favorahly upon the prosperity of the peo
ple, directly and indirectly; on one
hand, by giving the poor of the over
populated districts easy and cheap
means of getting to busy cities where a
livelihood can be earned, and on the
Other, lessening the chances of out
breaks by rebellion, facilitating the col
lection of taxeB and creating trade and
commerce between remote sections."
Mr. Jefferds leaves for the East today
to conclude arrangements for the con
struction of tbe Pekin and Hankow
line, a road 750 miles ' long. He is
booked to sail from San Francisco for
China on June 6th. '

Hory to Care Rheumatism.
Abago, Coos Co., Oregon, Nov. 10,
1893. I wish to inform you of the great
good Chamberlain's Pain Balm has done
my wife. She has been troubled with
rheumatism of tbe arms and hands for
six months, and has tried many reme
dies prescribed for that complaint, but

The new time card of the Northern
Pacific railway, shortens the time be
tween Portland and St. Paul ten hours.
This is now the shortest and quickest
route to the East,. Two' through trains
daily out of Portland. The only line
running a dining car from Portland, and
good connections at St. Paul and Chicago
makes this 'the most desirable route.

If there is anyone thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to any other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. : And
Dr. D. 8. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it."
