The Morning Post, always anti-Amexican, Jsitterly attacks the United States, but sarcastically expects from Washington: One more dispatch setting out the anxiety of the American government to observe the law; rehearsing the difficulties which the American constitution puts in the way of its strict maintenance, and with smothered Insolence reproaching the Spanish government for giving its well-meaning neighbors so much trouble." But even this paper recognizes the internal difficulties facing the Spanish Cabinet, and even doubts if it is strong enough to sacrifice the former corrupt system of government and to keep towards Washington its attitude of hands off." The Daily Mail admits that the Spanish-American dispute has reached a very dangerous ground, but adds: "The United States Is morally bound to give the Sagasta a fair trial. The good intentions Sefior Sagasta with regard to Cuba are obviously genuine that a declaration of at this juncture, whichever side it comes will be universally laid at the doors jot President McKi'nley."

by W. R. Hearst. It is believed here that the Italian government is making an effort to help Spain in her threatened troubles with the United States. This appears as a voluntary effort of Italy for Spain, both being Latin nations with strong racial affiliations, but many think It really emanates from Spain, which is using Italy as a catspaw.

United States Minister Draper arrived at Rome today and had a long conference with Marquis Viscontl Venosta, Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Immediately afterwards the rumor circulated among those well Informed in diplomatic circles that the conference was about Spain. Germany Refuses to Help. The Agenzla Libera now positively announces as a fact that Italy has proposed to the powers of Europe to offer Spain their mediation to avoid a war with the United States, and that Germany has already re-piled, positively refusing to enter such a combination. No answer, as far as known, has as yet been received from the other powers.

Private advices from Vienna say Austria has no interest in the matter. It is pointed out, however, that Italy belongs to the triple alliance, and that Austria, a member thereof, endeavored to get up an alliance against the United States in behalf of Spain a year ago. Spain Is Too Poor. It is Impossible to find out tonight tho exact form of Italy's suggestion to the powers. The interests involved are very-complex.

Spain has little to give for assist ance. Only those powers possessing colonies are interested with her In restraining American aggressions, but it Is believed they would hold back from fear. In other words, diplomats say a basis for a combination even of moral support does not exist, as Spain Is too poor In money, credit, and territory to buy help. 54 54 78 82 88 88 76 80 54 64 54 66 60 62 44 48 66 74 62 68 62 70 78 89 52 64 72 80 58 63 68 76 48 48 48 62 72 76 52 56 66 74 72 80 50 62 66 56 68 80 72 84 73 84 52 66 75 84 54 66 68 64 72 80 44 50 64 80 68 76 68 74 44 60 48 52 64 70, 72 78 70 80 52 64 46 68 52 62 56 a New York City. 1.46 rortoiK North Oklahoma .29.78 Omaha .30.

The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: The Spanish press unanimously supports the attitude of the government, which it culls eminently sober and dignified; but the impression is that the controversy with the United States has reached a critical stage, which may be the prelude to a rupture. I spoke with three members of the Cabinet today (Sunday), who in almost identical words contended that Spain has the right, after her tremendous sacrifices in Cuba, to demand the observance of international neutrality by other nations. One of them added: The Gordian knot is.

These provided only members should be permitted to criticise speakers at the open meetings, and that only members in good standing should be admitted to the business meetings. These rules came up for adoption in Branch No. 1. The first was rejected, but the other went through by unanimous vote. It was said none of the so-called disturbers ever has been in full membership and good standing on the books, and the prediction now is care will be taken should they present themselves to see they are properly rejected.

The branch voted Its confidence in Mrs. Kavanagh and promised to defend her against any more assaults. Sylvester Keliher, secretary of the National board, spoke and cautioned the branch to steer clear in the future of any action that might cause such trouble as it has gone through in the past.

The Minister for the Colonies. Sefior Moret, today assured me he believes lie can count upon the cooperation not only of the Autonomists In Cuba and their representatives in Spain, but also upon Autonomists now resident in Europe and the United States government. The Ministers propose to carry out their program and the advice President Cleveland and Secretary Olney vainly gave Premier Canovas last year. Consequently Cuba will have local government like any American State, universal suffrage for municipal and provincial Councils, and an insular Parliament that will be first elected this winter directly the electoral lists are properly revised and the courts of justice pronounce on the validity of the elections. Entire Control of Taxation.

The Insular chamber will be composed of two Houses, having entire control of tariffs and taxation. The responsible government will be composed of five Ministers. The Cabinet councils will be presided over by the Governor General, but he will have no right of veto. Cuba, as was contemplated in Gladstone's home rule scheme for Ireland, will continue to be represented in the Spanish Cortes by Senators and Deputies. The imperial government and the Cortes will retain control of the army, the navy, foreign affairs, and the judiciary of the colony, which will defray the expenses of those departments.

By Universal Suffrage. The Insular Parliament will be entirely' elected by universal suffrage. In case of disagreement between the Houses and the responsible local government there will be a right of appeal to the country, like the 5wiss referendum, but for Important matters only. The government is confident that all the parties will cooperate in the carrying out of this policy and expects much from the coolness and conciliatory spirit of Marshal Blanco.

R. Hearst. The Chronicle today says: The situation In and concerning Cuba is again critical. The advent of the new Liberal Ministry in Spain was understood to mean the concession' of some serious autonomy to Cuba, as well as the recall of that Incompetent and Inhuman General, who has so long disgraced the name of Spain in the Antilles. The retirement of General Weyler Is not yet an accomplished fact, though we are assured today he will realK leave on the 29th.

As for autonomy, we have assurances as to that also, but they are as vague as usual, and autonomy Is ambiguous. The autonomy of Canada is one thing and the autonomy of Crete Is another. Which is to be the type of the autonomy of Cuba?

At the last session of Congress a joint committee of Senators and Representtives was appointed to make an investigation and recommend proper action. The members of that committee are Senators O.

H. Piatt of Connecticut, chairman; Nelson W. Aldrich, Rhode Island; James K. Jones, Arkansas; Representatives Walter Evans, Kentucky; Charles A. Russell, Connecticut; and Benton McMillin of Tennessee.

They are now devoting their attention to the matter and will be in Chicago this week to proceed with the collection of such information as may be obtainable. Commencing next Wednesday morning committee will have daily sittings at the Auditorium Hotel until all those expected to appear before it have been heard. As the question under consideration is one of importance to agriculturists, as well as manufacturers. It is understood there will be a large number of persons here from Wisconsin, Iowa, and other Northwestern States. The committee Is charged with the duty (under the joint resolution of Congress of ascertaining the views of all classes of citizens as to the advisability of enlarging the scope of the existing law in regard to the use of alcohol free of tax in the manufactures and arts.

Under the United States statutes, alcohol manufactured from wood pays no internal revenue tax, while alcohol produced from grain pays an internal revenue tax of $1.10 per proof gallon, equal to $2.20 per gallon full strength. The province of the committee is to ascertain and report the advisability of enacting a national law which shall give to grain alcohol used in the manufactures and arts the same exemption from tax enjoyed by wood alcohol and other solvents. This subject has been agitated more or less since the year 1805, the close of the war, and it Is desired that citizens in all branches of industry carefully examine into the matter and bring to the attention of the committee such information as may enlighten and assist it in making its report. Henry Dully Jr. of New York has given the subject a great deal of attention, and reported to the committee his findings of an extensive Investigation abroad.

He Is now here and will remain during the session. Benjamin Durfee, clerk of the commission, arrived yesterday and is at the Auditorium. Some of the committeemen are expected to arrive today.

The steamer Humboldt arrived last night with five men from Dawson City, leaving there on Sept. 3, and three men from Minook and other points on the Yukon. They say no gold will come out this fall, as this steamer was the last of those who have come down the Yukon. The river is already frozen hard, and boats are laid up for the winter. The five men from Dawson are John F.

Miller and Frank E. Sims of this city, C. A. Harrison of Atchison, Kas. William Dubel of New Jersey, and William Braund of Black Diamond, Wash.

They were passengers on the river steam Margaret. When they found the mouth of the river blocked with ice they resolved to como" overland at all hazards. For seven days they crept forward through terrible wind and snow storms. Some of them fell in their tracks and had to be helped by their stronger companions. They crossed the river covered with thin ice by lying down and pushing their pack before them; and at night they sought shelter from the 6torm Ty huddling in an Eskimo tent or lying unprotected from the biting wind save by blankets.

Of the five or six thousand people in Dawson and vicinity, at least 1.000 will be obliged to flee from impending starvation. Up to Sept. 3, when the Miller party left Dawson, new arrivals numbered from three to twenty people daily, and there is no doubt that that ratio will be continued all winter. Three hundred men were working in the gulches, and in the hills were several prospectors, all of whom knew nothing of the shortage and were depending on the company stores for provisions. One way of relief is open to tha miners.

Five hundred or a thousand could winter at Circle City, 100 miles below Dawson, and draw their supplies by dog train from Fort Yukon. Circle City has 500 houses and is said to be the largest log cabin town In the world. John F. Miller says there will not necessarily be starvation, but certainly miners will suffer extreme privations. Five hundred men intended to come down the river, but that is closed and they cannot get out.

Our leaving," says Sims, was the beginning of a stampede for grub. Transportation companies at St. Michael's and Fort Yukon claim the liquor traffic has no appreciable effect on the supply of provisions. Not more than thirty tons of liquor, they say, has gone into tho country. With the blockade of the Yukon every possibility vanishes of treasure by the steamer Portland.

No gold will come out this year. There Is any amount of gold at Dawson. It is not unusual to see horses loaded with dust. But the mines are owned by men who know their value. One sees it on every hand, the returning miners say.

He was thrown out and roughly handled, and then taken to the Rawson Street Police Station and locked up, charged with disorderly conduct. While Father Stuczko was conducting the service Kettler rushed in as if fleeing from mortal enemies.

He yelled and shrieked and, with eyes glaring, staggered into the front aisle. Women, thinking the man was crazy, shrieked in terror, while men abandoned prayer and, seizing the intruder, pushed him out of the church. Once outside he insisted upon going back. The churchgoers were enraged and several of them handled Kettler roughly. The patrol wagon arrived at the moment and the police rescued the man from the people.

He will appear in court this morning. In bruises, sprains, burns, wounds, rheumatism, hemorrhoids, use Sander's Eucalyptol. MEET DEATH IN A HOTEL FIRE.

Just now, when the eyes of the world are on the Klondike or the gold mines of the Canadian Northwest and Alaska, I am glad to know that the mines of Washington and the Western States generally are receiving may come." The Telegraph reviews the situation and concludes: It will be a very serious business for the great republic if once she stretches her hands across the sea hankering after Cuba or Hawaii. The population which she would have to protect or to govern Is practically negroid, and the States have already got about as many negroes as they can deal with. Not only annexation, but even occupation by licensed American filibusters of Spanish territory In the Antilles, would threaten the interests of more than one European power besides Spain and inevitably end by involving the republic in continental policies and relationships.

To carry out the Monroe doctrine thus summarily rendered amphibious, the States must at least double their Standing army and make their navy three times as strong as at present, for today upon the sea they can do nothing at aU against Japan, and not very much even against Spain. If there be any sincere morality or sentiment left In modern politics one might dwen upon the pathetic spectacle afforded by that proud and famous country, once the queen and mistress of such splendid possessions in these and other waters, and "now in her dire agony, with one weakened arm striking in the Antilles and one In the Philippines, and being stung by Yankee wasps, who call themselves sympathizers with freedom. Spain, unhappy Spain, has indeed no choice. Cuba is Indispensable to her from every point of view. She must expend her last peseta to retain the Pearl of the Antilles; and, on the other hand, Mr.

McKInley wants a foreign policy for his message. It Is tb such straits that great empires may come when superstition and bullfights and lotteries have poisoned their once noble life-blood." The Daily News says: The Spanish reply to the United Stajtes in regard to the war in Cuba is said, though not on authority, to affirm that Spain has done all in her power to end the war in Cuba. It Is also said to remind the American government of the incontrovertible fact that the Insurrection has been mainly supported by expeditions from American ports. The first point seems equally well established by the admission of American papers." The Standard, which represents the views of the old Conservatives of whom the government 13 mostly composed, remarks that it is highly improbable that the government at Washington would in any case, save one of extreme provocation, declare war against Spain, but the adoption of a recriminatory and defiant attitude on the part of the latter will almost certainly cause the President to recognize the Cuban rebels as belligerents, and It would then devolve on the Spanish government and Spanish people to decide what retort they should make to that damaging move. We are thus led to conclude very unwillingly that the Cuban question has at length reached the point on the incline down which it has been traveling where there Is grave risk of an accelerated movement towards a condition of affairs unquestionably dangerous to the continuance of peace between Spain and the United States.

In these serious circumstances it behooves the government of Madrid to look before It with cool and dispassionate circumspection and to ask itself what would probably indeed, certainly be the result of hostilities with America, and it 13 the duty of all sincere friends of Spain and Its people to help them to form a clear and sensible conception on the subject. We are thoroughly dive to the gallant and chivalrous character of the Spanish nation uml to the undoubted patriotism and cour- their just attention." said A. J. Reynolds of OFFICIAL DEATH KECOBI).

LAST TIME SUNDAY. Oct. Monday. Nov. 1 MODJESKA.

London, England, at the Victoria Hotel. Mr. Reynolds has recently looked over the field in Washington and is enthusiastic over the possibilities in that State. "Americans have a Klondike In Washington," he said, and there are fortunes to be had there without the great trials entailed in prospecting in the bleak Yukon country. The region around the Wenatchee and Peshastin Rivers, in Washington, I learned from actual experience, are fabulously rich and the location is only 100 miles from Seattle.

Placer properties there which have been worked by hand have yielded handsomely, and several claims are held for big money. I am told the Swauk is held for $200,000 on the strength of surface showing alone. The same range practically runs through to the Yukon region. A colored man not long ago did some crevice mining and quit early with $60,000. The stream he worked is known as Negro Creek.

I have an option on five claims in Kittitas County, but I am not at liberty to say exactly where they are." Mr. Reynolds displayed several samples of dust and nugget gold to the hotel guests. He leaves for London today and will organize a company there. Oil City, Oct. 24.

Three persons were burned to death and seven more severely injured in a fire that destroyed the Hotel Brooklyn at Kelletville, twenty-five miles southeast of Oil City, on Sunday morning at an early hour. The building was a three-story one, roughly built of double boards and burned like tinder. At 2 o'clock this morning when the firemen first discovered it there were seventeen persons asleep in the hotel. At that time the fire, which had originated on the second floor of the building, shut oft all retreat from the rooms on the floors above. Six men on the second floor and five on the third saved themselves by jumping from the windows to the ground below, but there was none of these who escaped without severe burns or hurts.

Those killed are: Miller. Miss Kate, of KelletvlHe. acred 19 years. Salsgiver. Andrew, of Tioneeta.

a mail carrier. aged 21 years. Tucker. Professor, asred about 65 year, who traveled about the country giving; stereoptlcpn exhibitions, and is supposed to have come from Eewickley, near Pittsburg. Miss Emma Kiser, a teacher In the Kelletville schools, was so badly burned about the face and body and so severely injured by jumping from the second story of the hotel that she may die.

What remained of the bodiesof Tucker and Salsgiver were gathered together and were not enough to fill an ordinary cigar box. The fire is supposed to have originated by Professor Tucker knocking over a lamp in his bedroom, as he had had the toothache and used the lamp for making hot applications. KNIGHTS TO MEET TOMORROW.
