INCREASED ITS BID
Railroad Committee Accedes
to McKenna's Contention.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SALE
Effect of the Deal on the Develop
ment of Portland and
Oregon.
Washington, Oct. 2. Ex-Governor
Hoadley, counsel for the United States
in the matter of the Union Pacific fore
closure Bale, spent several hours today
in conference with Attorney-General
McKenna, arranging the details for the
sale on November 1, and the subsequent
transfer of the government's interest in
the property to the highest bidder.
It is understood from trustworthy
sources that the committee has acceded
to the government's contention that its
lien on the Union Pacific road includes
the Omaha bridge, and that it has in
creased its cash bid so as to make the
entire concession approximately $50,
000,000. This would make its guaranty
offer for the property, including the
sinking fund, now in the treasury, ahaut
$50,000,000.
Treasury officials recognize the fact
that the withdrawal from circulation of
$45,000,000 in -cash at one time might
have a very seriouB effect on the money
market, and in consequence are devising
a plan by which the force of the shock
may be reduced to a minimum.

Kasala Suggests the Hatter
Be Ar-
nitrated.
New York, Oct. 2. A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says the World cor
respondent is informed by a leading
diplomat that Russia recently suggested
to the other European powers, which
have not shown much disposition to as
sent to the suggestion, that the differ
ences between Spain and America be
submitted to arbitration, when matters
come to an acute stage.
Russia's plan was to select arbitrators
from Sweden, France and Switzerland
for Spain, to give Cuba a Canadian style
of autonomy, and award to the United
States commercial advantages and in
demnities for losses caused by the war
in Cuba.
Sagasta Takes Hold.
Madrid, Oct. 2. Senor Sagasta, the
liberal leader, has been entrusted by the
queen regent with the task of forming a
new cabinet.
Senor Sagasta, after leaving the queen
regent, had a long conference with the
Marquis Vega de Armigo, who accepts
the presidency of the chamber. Ad
miral Bermeio becomes minister of ma
rine in succession to Admiral Beranger.
The financial question is demanding
the greatest attention, and the liberals
at the outset of the coming session of
parliament will, explain the position of
the Spanish treasury.
The Kecall of Weyler.
London, Oct. 2. A special dispatch
from Madrid today says :
Captain-General Weyler has been re
called from Cuba, and will return to
Madrid at once. The name of his suc
cessor has not yet been officially an

probability, will accept the post of captain-general
of Cuba, in succession to

Tae readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous snrtaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. tThe proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they

Philadelphia, Oct. 2. Frank Star
buck, of Philadelphia, defeated Jimmy
Michael, the Welshman, in a 25-mile
paced race on the one-third mile board
track at Willow Grove, by the narrow

most exciting long-distance races seen
here. Starbuck's time for the twenty
five miles was 47:02 1-5; Michael's,
47 :02 2-5. Each was in the lead thrice
during the race, but neither led by more
than forty yards at any time, and the
race was in doubt to the finish.

Shading; Marble.
A! newly discovered process for treating-
marble or other similar stones in
order to give them any colored shade,
veins or spots, consists in leaving1 these
stones in one or more baths composed
of a solution of alcohol and one or more
colors of aniline or other coloring' ma
terials. The coloring1 materials are
fixed by leaving1 the colored stones in
a bath of oil or any other fat sub
stance, or by applying upon the stones
layers of the same stuff. The absorp
tion: of the orgajiic coloring- materials
and of the fat substances by- the stone
may be accelerated, by heating- or boil
ing the bath which contains the stuff
to be treated.
A Cold Stove.
A stove has been invented to cool
rooms in summer. Salt, a quantity of
ice and a patent chemical are used, and
the stove becomes so cold thait if a hand
be placed upon it the skin will instant
ly blister. As salt is cheap, -the chem
ical not dear, and as the stove can make
its own 'ice in the oven, the device is
one that will be likely rto come into gen
eral use. in warm climates.

The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less space and
prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the
fight for the principles for which THE TEIBUNE has labored from its inception
to the present day, and won its greatest victories.
Every possible effort will be put forth, and money freely spent, to make THE
