smoking on the streets. Tom light

down 10 and started away. "Hold
on," said the Judge, "there is some

TO UREA K THE CIIAIS.
In an after dinner speech made in
Chicago last Laturday evening Chas.
(1. Daws controller ot the currency
gave utterance to the mowt sensible
iilan of currency rvfirna that has
been made public this year. Two
things he emphasizes. Free silver
coiuage inuat not be undertaken.
This Insures the maintenance of the
gold ttandard. (Second there must
be no contraction of the
money of the country. The
speaker thinks that the legislatioi
suggeited by the president in his
1897 message is a fair interpretation
upon the nature of the demand of
the people in 1896 for monetary re
form. The words of h' recommendation
in 1897 were 'That when any of the
United .States notes are preseuted for
redemption in gold and are redeemer
in gold, su.'h notes shall bo kept and
set apart and only paid out in ex
change for gold. This is an obvious
duty.'
The president reaffirmed this rec
ommendation in his 1898 message.
Mr Daw does not deny but that
there are other reforms that might
te made such as new banking laws
but he finds that bankers are not
agreed among themselves. There 1
nn opposing interest between bank
note holders and depositors which
has not been reconciled. Securities,
U. 8. Bonds, State and mnuicipa
securities can be used as a safe basl
for note circulation, but they do not
serve for security for depositors. If
the whole banking interest of the
nation is taxed to create a fund to
secure depositors, the large and care
fully conducted institutions are re
quired to support the wild cat ven
tures of less honest men. The result
is the safe hanks will go out of bus
iness leavingathe public to be preyed
upon by the others. On this poin
Mr. Dciws said:
"In the minds of the people of the
country the issue of 189G was not the
reform of our present bank note cur
rency. I believe that the people and
the business Interests of this country
demand that whatever changes are
made in our currency system to
break the endless chain and insure
the safety of the gold standard should
if possible, be simple and easily un
derstood. They are not now nor
have they been, In favor of compli
cated or radical changes. As they
desire stability in the tariff system so
they desire stability in the currency
system. While they want improve
ment in both when necessary they
are notiu favor of unnecessary link
uring with either. The bank cur
reucy plans of one year ago have
changed, but the president's recom
mendation has not changed. The
bank currency plans of this year may
change, but the value of the recom
mendations of the president w'U not
be affected.

"Hobson ought to have heard Col.
Gordon MoCahe's story of the Duke
of Wellington," said Mr. W. M.
Pressley, of Virginia.
"On one occasion the Duke, then
getting far advanced In years and
rather feeble, was waiting to ero.vi a
street crowded with heavy vehicUs.
A stalwart young man approached
with lifed hat, tendered his services
as escort, and conducted the gallant
old warrior In safely to the olhi r
side. Then, bowing extremely low
he said:
"Your Grace, this is the proudest
moment of my life. In years to come
I shall tell my children, and they
shall tell their children's children,
that I had the honor to serve the
hero of Waterloo and the conqueror
of Napoleau.
"With a glance tint showed In
tense disgtird, the venerable hero
he was the genuine article replied:
'Young man, don't make a d n fool
of yourself.' This, with the profani
ty omitted, Is what Hobson might
say to the osculatory dames and
maids that he encounters.
H) urics ki:utios.
Judge Day, late secretary of state
had a reception and banquet at his
old home in Canton, O. Replying to
the addrers he said:
Recognizing that there are certain
matters which may not properly be
faM) ) a Miai " this kiad
I ki-M 1 Mf, wiMhelcas, say
soaMhiaf mxi of the bar
of the najrt 1T hive occurred In
the period of our separation.
If I w ere called upon to stale the
most gratifying rireumstancea of our
foreign relstions during the war. It
would be found In the uniformly i - -dial
and hearty friendship of the
English nation before and during the
struggle.
Observing the obligations of neut
rality, and never stepping outside
the requirements of international
law, we had the sympathy and good
will of that great power. I don't be
lieve either nation seeks or would be
benefited by a formal alliance.
Nevertheless, the ex istance of cor
dial relations between people kindred
by blood, speak ing the same language
and having the same ideas of civil
liberty and good government is a fact
of potency of which can hardly be
over-cut in ated.
I have l-ccn asked about the work
of theo mmissi.iuers, viewed from
lawyer's stand-point. I fiiuk I may
say something to you about it. In
excess of the proprieties of the oc
casion. I shall ask you to treat it in
professional confidence. On the 12th
of August the Protocol ot Washing
ton was executed. It may be said to
have been the preliminary contract
whose final executioi- was to be em
bodied in the tr-ty.
As to Cuba, Porto Hico, minor
West Indian Islands, and an Inland in
the Ladrones, it, was capable ot exe
cut ion by a simple deed of cession of
these islands, except Cuba, where
final relinquishments of Spanish sov
ereignty was required.
As to the Philippines, their dispos
ition, government and control was
left for final determination in the
treaty.
I have often been a.ked how It was
possible to make progress in a com
mission having equal representation
from the two nations. Whilst this
fact did not prevent the fullest dis
cussion in the United Stales, havin
made all the concessions which it be
lieved Just and fair, it was obliged to
Insist that its form lie accepted.
The publications of the proceedings
will show that uothing can lie furth
er from the truth I han to assume that
the United States adopted towardi
Spain a policy of "stand and deliver."
Today not one foot of American soil
remains under Spanish domlnationt
and the people so long oppressed are
to have a new birth of freedom. This
is neither time or place to discuss our
policy in the far East. If this treat
should be ratified it brings to the
United States title to the Philippine
archipelago, to be dealt with as the
American people, in their wisdom,
see fit.
The American citizen litis a right
to go wherever trade and enterprise
may seek an outlet for the product of
American thrift and industry, and
there must follow, if need be, the
overshadowing protection of the flag.
Referring to President McKinley,
Judge Day said :
"The bar has a just pride in the
fact that we carry on our rolls the
name of one whose entire professional
career was with us and of us the
president of the United States. I
would not encroach upon the field of
my distinguished friend who is to
respond to the sentiment In his houor
but I cannot forbear an expression of
satisfaction that the verdict of his
countrymen, no less than the approv
ing Judgment of the world, gives him
the first place amoi g the great men
who have filled that high e It Ice.
"History can never adequately tell
the story of devotion with which he
has given his day and nights to the
sc'vi'" of his country. With war
clouds gathering and threatening
when he took the oath of office, he
bent all of his energies to the amelior
ation of the condition of the people
of the 'Gem of the Antilles.' Seek
ing not to avoid responsibility, hop
ing to accomplish his ends by peace
ful measures, and resolved that only
as a last resort should Ins country
'again open the purple testament ol
bleeding war.' When war became
inevitable, bending every t nergy to
its vigorous prosecution by laud and
sea, the coinmsnoer-in-chier in Tact
as in name of an army and navy
whose deeds are unparalleled in the
history of warfare, and have made
the fact of Amerscan citizenship a
asport to the respect, if not the
affection all the peoples of the world
lis guiding band was In the proceed
ings which led up to and through the
negotiations which cuiminattd in the
treaty signed in Paris on the loth ol
)eceinber.
"Under our constitution and policy,
ommishions to treat of jieacr are hut
tberepresei tatives of the executive.
Modern facilities ol communication
made It possible to keep the president
constantly advised of the proceeding-"
and deliberations of thecomn ission.
Intelligence of the signing of the
treaty of Ghent did not reach Wash-
ngton until after the Moody battle of
New Orleans had been fought on the
8th of January, two weeks' after the
igning of the treaty which should
have ended the strife. The ink wris
scarcely dry upon the last treaty of
Paris until the knowledge of its exe
cution was flashed beneath the sea
and carried on wings of lightning to
the remotest villages of the land."
01 Hr.KS HAVE WliPT.
About high noon, Jan 1, 18!J, the
An.erlcan generals went Info the
throne room of the palace at Havana,
Cuba, the center of the S.-anish -seasions
in the new world.
It is a lofty chamber decorated
with mirrors with deep gilt frame-,
while satin draperies and the scarlet
arms cf Spain are over each door and
Window, Here were gathered the
members of the captain-general's
staff. Capt. Gen. Castellanon was
alone In a side apart uent. The Am
ericans now grouped themselves near
a large mirror between the Iwu ecu-
tral windows, th Spanlch stuff being
'on h.. ri..., while on the left were
''..i' American staff, the CuNin
erals and Ihe corresMindeuis.
Suddenly, Captain-general Gtt
lanos entered the salon without cere
mony from the left and greeted G-ii
Brooke and others. After shaking
hands, Ui-u. Brooke sat upon a sofi,
while Gen. CaMi-Hami moved to
ward the group of Cuban generals.
Britinh Viee-Consul Jerome lntr
duced him to Gen. Mayia Uodri. ucz.
Shaking both the hands of the Cubai
officer, In the usual SpanUh fashion,
Gen. Castellauos said
"We have been enemies, but I re
spect you for your correct attitudes
and opinions. I have pleasure lu
shaking your hand."
Gen. Hodriguca replied as gal
lantly.
Captain-general Castel!anos took
his posiliou near Major General
Brooke.
The buzz of conversation on the
American side of the chain ler con
trasted with the silence ou the tfp.ui
hIi side. There was a lutirued dif
ference between the Am rieans and
Spaniards, the former tall, heavy and
wearir.g much gold cord; the latter
sm ill and slight, in blue striped cam
brie uniforms. The Spaniards were
leprt-Msed; the Americans were cor
resKmdingly buoyant.
At the lust stroke ot 12, tin- boom
of a gun brought all eyes to the point
in the room w here stood the csptain
general, who was talking with an
America!! officer. Immediately, al
was silence The caibi!u-geltera
stepped to the left, taking liis posi
tion directly in front of bis staff. On
his rik'ht stood Captain J. S. Hart,
interpreter of the United States
military commission. Next to Capt
Hart, in the order n tn.ed, General
Chaffit', Brooke, Ludlow, Lee, Wade
Butler and Clous. Immediately be
hind Gen. Chaffee was Senator John
W. Daniel of Virginia.
As the big guns at Cabanas hoiiiued
Capt. Gen. Castellanos addressing
himself to Major-Oeneral Wade, Pres.
of the United States Military Com
mission said :
Gentlemen: In compliance with
the treaty ot Paris, the agrtement of
the military commissioners of the
island and the orders of my king, at
this moment of noon, January 1,
1899, there ceases in Cuba Spanish
sovereignty and begins that of the
United Slates. In coucqu'ncH 1
declare you in command of the Island,
with the object that you in:y excr
ete It, declaring to you that 1 will
be first in rcsiiecling it. Peace hav
ing been estebllshed between our
respective governments, I promise
you to give all due respect to the
United States government and hope
that the good relations already exist
ing between our couutrit s will con
tinue until the termination of the
evacuation of those under my orders
in this territory."
Gen. Wade turned to Gen. Brook,
Military Gov. of Cuba, and said:
"I transfer this command to you."
Major-Genera! Brooke said :
"I accept this great trust in behalf
of the government aud president of
the United States and (addressing
Captain-General C'a.stellnnos) Iwih
you and the gallant gentlemen with
you a pleasant return to your native
laud May property attend you and
all who are with you. '
Afler shaking hands, Castellanoi
and nuit retired from the throne
room, and across tliepla.i toward
the Cock where was moored the bar
ge that was to convey him to the
trausKirt anchored in the harbor.
At the corner of the plaza, with
tears in his eyes, he turned to take a
final look at the palace. He could
ee the American generals on the
balcony.
Five hundred years ago almost to
a day, to-wit Jan. 3, or 4, 1492 the
Spaniards saw the Moors relinquish
dominion in Europe. T he scene -grapbically
discritied Irving in

the detachment, "go and take pos

sovereigns, in punishment of the jn

passed mournfully on, along the

alry had come, decending to the v-ifi

triKtps entered tint Alhainhra, the
gates of which were wide open, and
all its splendid courts and halls silent
and deserted.
In the meantime, the Christian
court and army poured out of the

He Ibeu ib-liv-rtil the key ot the

of mingled m-iancboly and resigna

Such is the will of Ood! R-eelve
them with the clemency thou hast

King Ferdinand restrained bis ex.
ultatiou into an air of aep ne mag
rianliuily. "Doubt not our promises
replied he, nor that tliou shalt regain
from our friendship the prosperity
of which the fortune of war has de

Having surrendered .the last sym
isil of power, the unfortun de Boab
dil continued on towards Ihe Alpux
arras, that he might uot behold the
enterauce of the Christians into hU
capital. His devoted band of cava
liers followed him in. gloomy silence;
but heavy sighs burst from their
Imimiiih, as shouts of joy and strains
of triumphant music, were borne on
the hreczo from the victorious

Having n joined his family, Boab

A dispatch to the World from
Havana says: Good progress has
beeu made in the creation of a Hava
na police force. Already seveial In
spectors have been appointed and
more than enough applications are on
tile to till the subordinate positions
and the ranks.
Chief of Police Colonel Moulton
brings to his hard task wide business
experience and great energy. He
has recommended drastic changes in
the lower courts to help the speedy
punishment of crime. Havana's
policing is to be modern. Each of
Ihe 12 precinct stations will be con
nected with the central office by tele
phone and New York "hurry up"
wagons will startle the pedestrians.
Up-to-date "nlpers" wilt displace
the tightly drawn rope which now
brings the prisoner's elbows painfully
together behind the back. No more
bleeding men will be marched ss a
outt of abuse through the narrow
streets, nor will women offenders las
Isiund and hustled as animals. Who
each criminal is, where he goes and
what be does will he recorded. Now
either nothing is heard of a man after
ue commits a crime or he resumes
!iis former habits In his former home
with ahr-olutcly no espionage,
E glitceii hundred applications for

There will be 720 policemen, of
whom 100 will be mounted and 100
will be, used in special de'iiilsat pub
lic meetings, the ferry, railroads and
all public gatherings. The remain
der will tie officers.
There will le a chief, Col. Mi.ullon
one deputy chief, eight inspectors, 12
captains and 48 lieutenants. Insec
tor MeCullagh has created tht latter
rank here because the rank 'sergeant"
as useJ in the United States really
means lieuteiisnt, and it is officially
recognized as being the equivalent of
that grade In the United States army.
Tin re u ill tie 48 sergeants as well
with a lower order of duties, and
then the patrolmen. The term
"roundsman" Mr. MeCullagh consid
ers obsolete, and he has dropped it,
ns-igning those duties to his ser
geants. Few American applications have
i I pea nil. One of the requirements
is that future Hrvana policemen
must Is- able to speak Spanish. By
('resident McKinlco's express desire
no account is taken of the nationali
ty of arty applicant. Cubans and
S;:-ti!-ids sre treated llh absolute
impartiality.
Colonel Moulton has recommended
to General Ludlow that experts ts?
1 aj-ked to rt port upon changes in Ihe
methods of pria-edure in the lower
ci.urts and in the penal code, rnd"T
Spanish law, sn accused person after
U-i: g examined In the lower com
could Is- kept in prison for three
years awai ' trial in Ihe middle
ones.
The pon thua to delay trial has
often been used by corrupt Spanish
authorities to mulct the prisoner aud
his friends If Ihey had money. Even
for minor offense the prisoner; could
be kept 72 hours before his case Is
called.
Inspector MeCullagh says: "They
put a man in Jail and then ss-nd
three days finding out who he Is. If
he Is anybody, that's euough to ate
what his family and friends will d
for him." The veb ran also says:
"Talk about your sol' Her willceiuen
with rifle; Just give me the New
York policeman's club with good
courts behind it, and I'll guarantee to
keep Havana the most aceable
city in the world. Its people are
mild and easily handled."
Colonel Moul ton's, future policy as
to the suppression of public iuininra
nty, the curse of Cuba, will tie as
General Ludlow may direct. Prona
bly few changes will be made at
present, although the Immoral theat
ers may be warned to rem ve certain
features.
Colonel Moultou says: "1 shall try
to avoid either extreme and to use
plain common sense in dealing with
delicate questions and customs of
three centuries' growth."

Sheriff Hare fried to secure evidenci
against him but failed. Senator C.
W. Fulton Was one of the sufferers.
His cottage was burned last week,
Fulton proposed to make some sys
tematic investigations. To that end
he obtained a search warrant w hich
he gave to Sheriff Williams to exe
cute. Fulton went with the Sheriff.
At Seaside two deputies were called,
Jacob Lsmcrs ami A. E. Miller
Wiilard was called out of his tent
and conducted the officers to a lions,
which ho said had been burglarized
the night liefore. Fulton and Miller
did uot go across the street to the
cottage but entered Ihe premises
where Wiilard lived. Some suspic
ious articles were found and the
sheriff with Wiilard was called back.
Fulton re-entered the house leaving
Wiilard, sheriff Williams and Lam
ent on the out side. Presently two
shots were fired. The insiders rush
ed out lu time to see tie sheriff full
and Limers assault Wiilard who
had his rifle Fulton promptly assist
ed In disarming the murderer. He
watched his opportunity and started
to run. Fulton look a shot at him
but missed. A second shot was a hit
and the whole mouth of the criminal
was torn off. Wiilard fell. Fulton
gave the gun to Miller and started
for help. Wiilard pulled his pistol
and commenced shooting st Miller
one shot taking effect in his leg.
The latter then shot and killed the
desperate man. Sheriff Williams by
this time was dead, and In a few
minutes Lamers was dead. It will
not be known how the shooting eom-
meneed, but it is supposed that Wii
lard, being a d esperate fellow thot to
kill the two ineii on the outside at
the first fire and then kill the other
two as they came out. He was only
frustreted by making a bad shot at
Limers, who was able to attack his
assailant and struggle with him till
help came. It is a sad tragedy.
Sheriff Williams was a general fav
orite and Ltiners was a respis-ted
citiz -n.
