WAR NOT LIKELY. State Department Officials Think a Rup ture With Spain Improbable. New York, Sept. 77. A special to the Herald from Washington says: The possibility of a rupture between the I'nlted States nnd Spain growing out of the representations recently mado to the Madrid authorities by Minister Woodford Is regarded ns very remote by state department officials. At the time Mr. Woodford's Instructions were written. It was the opinion of idmlnis tratlon officials that a tender of the good offices of the I'nlted States would be rejected by Spain. Their views have changed on this point. It Is said thnt the authorities are now confidently ex pecting that Spain will accept the offer in the same conciliatory spirit In which It was made, nnd will express n willing ness to consider any suggestion which this government may choose to make In the direction of a restoration c.f peace In the Island. The optimistical view which the au thorities take of Spain's prospective re ply to Mr. Woodford's note Is Idised on the belief that there will soon be a new ministry in Spain composed of lib erals, with Sagasta o-s the premier. But cwn with Sagasra In power, the author Ities here do not anticipate that Spain will bo In a humor to entertain a propo sition for antonomy of Cuba, which Is Our nollcs elates are the beat.

They do not expect, however, that the new ministry will cheerfully accept what ever the t'nlteil States may be able to render In brtiwrlng about a solution of the Cubans a morte liberal govern ment than that which they now enjoy, but which will not result In the lo. of Spain's sovereignty over the Island. "And then will come the rub. It I a very easy matter to tender good ofi- ee and a comparatively easy one lo get them accepted .but as It fs agree In certain quarters with Cubans declar ing they will not aoccpt anything short of comlpete Indi-pendence, and Spain firmly adhering to her declaration that she will not withdraw her flag from the Island, the administration will find It as difficult Co end the war Peacefully as SpAin has In her effort to control it by force of arms. Should the Spanish goevrnment reject the offi r of the good offices tendered by Mr. Woodford. It will then be necessary for President McKInley to consider what shall be the further course of this gov ernment. The statement of Mi-irtl Ihlt he will make "ostentatious proclamation to the world of the disapproval of the Cuban regime by suspending diplomatic relation with Spain and withdrawing the 1'nited States minister," cannot be confirmed here, and It Is believed to be premature at least. A member of the cabinet last night gave your correspondent to understan: that the president would not act hastly In the matter. It is probable, accorl lng to my Informant, that there would be further correspondence . between Washington and Madrid, and thit unlesi a solution of the difficulty should be reached In the meantime, the president would communicate full Information to congrees at the beginning of the sesslo.i la December and be guided by the action of that body.

Boston has Will Endeavor to Prove its Assertion. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 17. Some Interest ing litigation growing out of the pecu- llar state of politics In Nebraska has developed. The gold republicans have filed a protest with the secretary of state against the silver republicans being designated on the ticket under that name. They state as a reason that the new election law of the state prohibits any new party from taking the name or any part of a name of a political enr.inlzatlon already In existence. In reply tomorrow the silver republican ; will tiegln by admitting the correctness of the gold republicans' Interpretation of the law. but will maintain that the republicans are the usurpers and shoull be enjoined from using the title "repub- , lienn party." nnd In support of their position, they will quote from a number of state platforms In which a common use of gold nnd silver Is declared to be , the cardinal principal of the republican ' party, aifl In which free coinage Is supported. In addition they will quote from siH'echeo nvuK- In Nebraska by Senator Thurston In which he declared his adhesion to free sdlver and asserted j that it was a part of the original policy ' of the republican party that the two metals should be the original money of , the nation. Whatever the decision of the secretary of state Is, the case will be carried to the supreme court. It is thought that the matter will assume na tional importance. GOOD EXAMPLES. How Women Would Soon Reform the Whole World. If women would always set a guod example It would soon reform the world, ns the men are continually following after the women. If a' woman could talk out of the two corners of her mouth at the same time there would be a good deal said on both skies. Dr. Darrin wants Just such advocates. No one tongue or corner of the mouth can tell of the wonderful cures he is perform ing daily at his offices. The following cases substantiate his wonderful skill For years Mrs. M. J. Barr, of Gray's river, has been a constant sufferer, with pain In her head and neck, accompanlel with dizziness and constant fear of fall ing, fnder Dr. Darrin's electric and medical treatment she feels like a new woman. Captain M. D. Staples, of Astoria, is still confident of n permanent curt or his son, who has been cured of catarrh and loss of appetite. Hundreds of cases might le mentioned but spkee will not permit Dr. Darrin remains at the Occident Ho tel, Astoria .until November when he treats all curable chronic and pri vate disease.

Mr. George once polled 6S,iX votes as the labor candidate for mayor of New York. His strength, if he should accept, would be drawn principally from from the democratic vote. The united deomcracy also adopted a resolution condemning the action of the state committee In refusing to reaffirm the Chicago platform and In nominating as a candidate for chief justice of the court of appeals Allen B.
