VOLUMYE 27. ___THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, WERKLY THIBURE THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN THE HORTHWEST. TIHE PAPER FOF, THE FARMER, 'MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, -~ PROFESSIONAL MAY, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming year promises to be the most eventfulin a political sense ‘that we have seen-since the close of the war. Tho questions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during the past twenty years are rapidly passing away, and we find growing up in difforent parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names---in California the Indo- yendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of the chisf de- mands of the hour, The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large sharo of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza- tions are essentially corrupt and fraudulent.” Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere business enter- prises, making a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretonded efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnorships ig' altogethor vain and illusory. 2d. That tho tariil’ system now in vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and -that its effect is to cause farm pro- «duots to exchange for about one-half ‘the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than o fairrate of interest on the capital actually invested in them, end that when, in addition to this, they - claim dividends on watered stoock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection ot'the people ; thatunjust digeriminations between different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. Ath. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to vailway, steamshin, or other eorpo- zations, are. flagrant sbuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangors to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and fAnancial disaster. The general character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. ‘It is always independent and fear- less in the expression of its views. In its news department it is second to no paper in the United States. - The Weckly Edition contains & care- fully prepared summary of the news of the week, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, financial, so- cial, and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading features of tho Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness in these depart- | ments. Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent fransaction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a large eight-page sheet, of the same gize as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely=~ printed matter, and, as a family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at the fol- lowing rates, payable in advance: . WEEKLY TRIBUN.

An Account of the Exficution of the Patriots, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. BEORETARY FISN INTERVIEWED, ‘Wasanvaron, D. O.; Nov. 10.—Secretary Fish congented to be intorviowed to-day on the sube Jact of tho Virginius and tho Spanish exeoutions at Santiago do Cuba. To-night your correspond- ent walted upon the Becrotary to substantiato the original interviow. Mr, Fish sald that his vatural sympathies wero with tho Cuban causo, but that in his oflicinl position he -could not act 83 o champion of opprossod humanity while un- suthorized fllibusterors wore using the United States ports to it out oxpeditions, contrary to Inw and treaty, Ho stigmatized tho rocent and preceding summary excoutions by the Spanish voluntoors a8 inhuman snd atrocious slaughitors, but intimated that the only proper way to stop them was to ot directly upon the Spanish Homo Government, through our Minister, who had used his good offices moveral timos already to prooure chaugos in tho Captain-Gonoraloy, by the substituting of a mild Vicoroy for one more bloodthiraty. THE TROUDLE WAS WITI TRE VOLUNTEERE rosident in Cuba, who, by nocial whoedling or | torrorizing each Captain-Genoral, mado him an adjunct to thoir spirit of masaacre. 'Tho Seoro- tary enid, without restraint, that these Volun- teors in Cubn ought to bo politically oxtingulsh- od, and classed at Madrid a5 worso than £he in- surgents, 'hey had given the Homo Govorn- ment, whick was well intontioned, as much per- ploxity as the rockloss frionds'of Cuba had given tho United Btates. Mr. Fish belioved that the existing Government in Spain was liberal and bumane. - OUR CONBUL TO QUBA ADSENT FROM NIS FOST. The summary exceutions at Santinge might have beou delayed bnd our Consul at that point beon =t bis pout. Young, howover, was at the ‘Tibbet Houssin Washlngton City, or somewhora botweon hore and New York at the fime. Mr. Hall, Acting Cousui-Gonoral at Havaus, had no communications with Santingo in time o stop thoese murders. Moreover, ouly ono of the four victims claimed to 'be sn’American. Ryan was probably a naturalized citizen, but the State Da- partmont could not act on hearsay. NO NEW ADVICES FROM MADRID. Nothing bad beon heard rom Madrid siuce Saturday, and thero wasno probability of more ivformutlon in documentary form on which the Seccretary could act for ton days to come. Had our Consul at Bantizgo been in his place, n timely dispatch to Madrid might have stayed fho oxecution but the murdors were rushed through in accordanco with tho devilish spirit of the authorities. AB TO BANTA ROEA, ono of the victims, Ar, Fish said he had nlready saved bim once from death, and that he was Zfoolbardy to risk his lifo a second time. THE CABE OF THE VIIGINIUB AND OF TUE TRENT. It having been roportod that the Seorotary iu atituted a comparigon betwoon tho case of tho Virgiviusand the Trent, Mr, Fish said that in this he was misquoted, . Ho did say that the Cuban insurgents wanted us to give them more direct agsistance than the Alsbamn bhad given tho Southern rebels, and for whiok o had sum- moned England topay us 816,000,000, As to tho capturo of the Virginius by the Tornado, thora were throo distinct waya in which the case xmihfi bo proeonted. ‘If the Virginius was ightoed in sr-nlah waters aud - chased to sen, or if she was sightod on tho high ecas aud chased towards Jamaica, international law aud troaty must decide the matter. If captured within a lenguo of Jamaica, the Britih Govornment would have cognizanco of the case. PRESIDENT GDANT'S BENTIMENTS, ‘While the Beorot; of Btate is thus dis- ‘pasaionato, Presidout Grant shows tho popular disposition to mske an notivo -protest for the Oubans. ? . MINISTER BIORLES in considerad to be the fiufi-hther of the Repub- Jio in Spain, and his iutluence in the mattor will probably dircot action at Washington, and, to somo oxtent, at Madrid.

THE MARINE CORTS OF SPAIN, Apropos of Spain, to-day's roport of Capt. Janios Forney, of tho marine corps, whom Soc- rotary Robeson sont_aver Europe to iuspect the roletive strongth and ofliciency of the shipboard soldiory of the loadiug natious, shows thatSpain has 10,000 marines, and that the marine corps is tho highest branoh of her gorvico, the ofilcors Deing uniformly solected from tho nobility, and the co trained in colleges af Oadiz and Madrid. This large marito farco is 1ees efliclont at prosent than boforo the rovo- lution, the officers Liaving bocome trading poli- ticlana, Tt {s the second marina force, however, in the world, Groat Britain having 14,000 and tho United States only 9,000, Tho Spanish ma- rines aro dividod botwoon tho infantry and artil- lory sarvicon, ‘Thus Spain is twico a8 strong in BLips au ‘“l and Lias more than threo lo_ono of ships—military, Oapt, Fornoy visited Undiz barracks only & few months ago.

A DRITISK TANIO DREADED, From the New York Tribune, Nov. 8, The attention of the financial and commercial community is now directed toward Lombard streot, whoro it is fearod that they are about to havo a revulgion even groater than that which has befallon the United Statos. For some time 08t tho balance of trado Las been in favor of l’hn United States, its exports oxceeding its im- poris bya largo smount.. This hans caused o steady flow of bullion to this country, which the Bank of England Lias ondeavored to check by raising the rato of discount until it has renched the very high rate of 8 per cent. Another meet- ing_of the Governors of tho Bank was held yes- torday, at which it was advanced to 9 per cont, with adepressing effeot on prices hereand in Lon~ don, United States bonds lllhlfi in tholattorcity from }4 to 7¢ por cont, Erio and Now York Oen- tral onch 8 “por cout, with & corresponding de- cline here. This advanco in the baul rato wag tho topio of gonoral discussion in finaucial circlos, whero it saomed to prosngo auothor era of panic.
