Edward Hunter, colored, charged with assault on Albert Wildey, also colored, ‘was today fined $20 by Judge Kimball. The assault teok place last evening at a ball in Grand Army Hall. The wife of Hunter stepped on some man’s foot watle dancing and a quarrel ensued. Hunter, thinking it was Wildey who was quarreling with his wife, struck him in the head with a bot- tle, inflicting a painful but not dunger- ous sound. Apollinaris BEWARE of SUBSTITUTIONS. - Tkere are no means of verifying this story in this city, as tne officials of the State Department and of the Spanish lega- tion say they have no information on the subject. It was said at the State Depart- ment that if Gen. Lee made the request at- tributed to him, he did so entirely of his own volition, as no instructions had been sent him or. the subject. Attitude of the Government. One of the officials discussed the matter with a Star reporter with unusual freedom, on condition that his name should not be used. He said that although Gen. Lee had Not been instructed to caution the released prisoners in the manner indicated, it was his opinion that if the matter ever came before the President or the Secretary of State, his alleged course would be ap- proved. To his mind, the Spanish had a good case against all of the Competitor prisone: and would have had no trouble in convicting them of a violation of the neutrality laws, and had treated them lib- erally in condoning their offense. It should be remembered, he said, that the Sagasta ministry, who are entitled to the thanks of the prisoners for their re- lease, cannot properly be held responsibie for the acts of the previous ministry or its representative in Cuba—Gen. Weyler—to whom principally they owe their harsh treatment in prison. ‘Then, again, contin- ued the official, the Sagasta ministry had pardoned the men, who were arrested by the previous administration, solely as an act of friendship to the United States, re- gardless of the question of their guilt or irnocence, and it was only natural for the United States government to show a proper appreciation of the act and a desire to avoid anything in the matter that might Possibly tend to make friction between the two governments. It was hardly right, he said, for a nation to ask another govern- ment to do a thing and then criticise it for doing it. The President and his cabinet, he added, are convinced that the present gov- ernment of Spain is earnest in its desire to ameliorate the conditions in Cuba, and have concluded to ailow reasonable time for the accomplishment of the proposed re- forms on the island. Nothing Heard of the Claims. So far nothing has been heard at the State Department of the purpose of the Competitor men to file claims against the Spanish government for pecuniary damages on account of their imprisonment, but those of the officials who have considered the question say it is extremely doubtful if the United States would press such claims in view of the admissions of some of the men since their release, that they were engaged in filibustering when cap- tured. One of the officials called attention particularly to Ona Melton’s statement in regard to the matter as showing the true character of the expedition. He laid parti- cular stress upon the following extracts from Melton's signed statement: The Capture of the Competitor. “The schooner Competitor sailed from Key West at 11 p.m., April 20, 1896, bound ostensibly for Lemon City, Fla. Colonel Monson and° Captain Christs, who com- manded the Competitor expedition, and a few other filibusters were aboard. ‘The Competitor anchored off Cape Sable forty eight hours later, having eluded the reve- nue cutter Winona by running through a shallow and dangerous channel that it was not supposed the schooner could pass. At Cape Sable men, rifics, machetes, dynamite and 60,000 rounds of ammunition were tak- en aboard. The number of filibusters was now increeased to fifty-three. Alfredo La- borde was captain of the schooner; Wil- liam Gildea, maie; William Leavitt and Benjamin Gurk, sailors, and Charles Bar- net, cook. All the other men were en- rolled on the list of expeditionaries except Teodoro Maza. “The Competitor sailed from Cape Sabie at sunrise on April 23, and was steered for Rebecea light, in the gulf. From there the schoener was headed southward to- ward Cuba, and at 1 p.m., April 25, anchor was cast behind a bar between one and two miles from Berracos, a small place on the ncrth coast of the province,of Pinar del Rio. “A little after 2 o'clock all of the arms and ammunition had been landed, two of the small bozts were just starting to return from the land, and the third boat, filled with expeditionar‘es and sinking to the gunwales, was just ready to leave the Competitor for the land, when the Canon- ero Mensajera was sighted not more than two miles away, and coming around a small key that hid us from view. “In less than five minutes after the gun- boat came in sight the Spaniards opened fire on us. It was not.possible for us who were left aboard to escape to the land, as the small boats were gone; or to weigh ancher, make sail and try to run out to sea, as three of the sallors were in the small voats. There were six of us left aboard—Gapt. Alfredo Laborde, William Gildea, Dr. Elias Vedia, Teodoro Maza, an expeditionary named Quesada and myself. It was a long Gistance to shore, but Gildea, Laborde and Quesada decided ‘to try to swim it. Quesada was seized by an im- mense man-cating shark before he had swam 100 yards. He threw up one hand, uttered a sudden cry and disappeared. The shark had first passed very close to La- borde, who was ahead, giving him a great seare; then it passed him by, and seized poor Quesada, who was only a few yards away. ‘The gunbcat ran alongside the schooner and a small boat was hastily lowered and filled with marines, who followed the two remaining swimmers. Laborde was over- hauled about half way to the land, but Gil- dea, who was an expert swimmer, had reached the shallow water before the Span- lards overtook him. Benjamin Gurk, one of the sailors who landed the last boat load, went with the expedition into the interior. William Leavitt and Charles Barnet re- turned to the land when the gunboat open- ed fire, but the expedition had already left for the interior and they could not over- take it and were ‘captured that night. “The Spaniards captured a few boxes of cartridges that Col. Monson was compelied to leave behind, but the ammunition that was saved enabled Gen. Maceo to gain tre famous battle of Cacarajicara.” . ——__-e-_____ Chapter Officers Chosen.

FORT WORTH, Texas, November The widow of Arthur Forbes, alias Blan- ther, who was arrested at Meridan, Tex. charged with having murdered Mrs. Phili pena Langfeldt in San Francisco, and who committed suicide in the Bosque county jail, has been located in this city vy the police officials. The woman now goes by the name of Ada Taylor. She says she married Arthur Forbes at Little Rock, Ark., in 1892, and that they taught in the public schools in Bosque county in 1896. They had some trouble, during which Forves shot her three times. Mrs. Forbes says there is no doubt as to Forbes being the murderer of the San Francisco women; that he often told her that he was well acquainted with Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont, naving been introduced to them by ‘theedore Durrant; that he often referred to the murders in such a manner that she was convinced that he knew of them. Mrs. Forbes, or Ada Taylor, says that one of her trunks is still in San Francisco, where it was used in evi- dence during Durrant’s trial. She today wired Durrant as follows: “Have courage. I believe you to be an innocent man. If I can help to prove your innocence, command me.” Admiral Pbillimore ix Dead. LONDON, November 25.—Admiral Sir Au- gustus Phillimore, K.C.B., retired, is dead.

The question was raised a couple of days ago and the attention of Judges Kimball and Scott brought to the matter, that it was not legal for the police courts to sit on Thanksgiving day, but both judges, after examining into the law which created the courts, decided that they-were compelled to sit today, the code providing that the courts must sit “from day to day” until their business is disposed of. —_+—__ Lamps Held for Owners.

Baliot of threes ‘Mr. Hanna will not be elected his own succes- sor. The state convertion of the republi- cans, held at Toledo last summer, nom- inated Senator Hanna to be the candidate of the party fcr United States senator, in cuse it should control the legislavure. ater Foraker was nominated for in exactly the same way by the repul state convention which met at Zanesvilie two years ago, and nominated Asa S. Bush- nell fer governor. So sacred was that nom- ination held by the party that no caucus of the republican members of the general assembly was called to consider the matter of the election of a United States senator. It was presumed that every republican member of the legislature elected upon that state platform felt in honor bound to vote for the candidate of the state conven- tion, J. B. Foraker While some of the bolder anti-Hanna re- publicans claim that there are reasons why the nomination of Senator Hanna ai Toledo should not be held as binding, it 1s quite certain that any repubtican member of the legislature who refuses to vote for him will by that act go into voluntary po- litical exile. The great source of weakness in the anti-Hanra movement is in lack of leaders. To take charge of such a move- ment requires a gieat deal of courage, and more than that, to organize a bolt of this caucus nomination, one must possess quali ties tnat will inspire in would-be followers hope of success of the movement. Has Admiinisirntion’s Aid. To those who know the close relations between the national administration ard Senator Hanna, it nced not be said that thé whole strength and iafluence of the administration will be given to the elec- tion of Mr. Hanna to the Senate. The ef- fect of this Senator Foraker and his po- litical friends have cause to know, for had President Harrison net thrown the influ- ence of his administration on the side of Senator Sherman, six years ago, Mr. For- aker would have gone to the Seni that time. With such inducements as Mr. Hanna's friends will be able io offer, the influence they will be able to exert and the political pressure they will be able to bring to bear, it seems quite improbab that any organization his-enemics in t party may form against him will be able to hold together long. Put ic is announced that Senator Hanna's friends will demand that there be another no fon: ‘for ‘Senator—that a ot the repullican members of the tare be called tor tais purpose. This cted ig _undvubtedly to ose republicans who have been that Senator Hanna forced the eonventiui to nominate him, and that the nomination made there, not being nade by the free will of the delegates, is of no force now. No one doubis what this caucus will ¢ iter Hanna will control it almost unanimously. Not to attend the ucus would be to read one’s self out of » party. To attend it will bind one to abide by its determinations. In saort, the Bennte ea is. igned to make nator Hanna's claim E election stronger. ee ae reecr atrial What a © By certain republican that if Senator Hanna cails for a caucus nomination he will by that act confess that the nomination by the Toledo conven- tion was unfair and of no force and ef- fect. He will, say they, give force. and effect to the charge that the Toledo nomi- nation was forced. However this may be, the proposed caucus will not los Senator Hanna, him those who may be looking for a re: for not voting for him. ‘The only republican member of the legis lature who gives any promise of holding out in his opposition to Senator Hanna is John P. Jones, who has been elected to the house rfom Stark county, the home of President McKinley. Jones is a miner, and for several years has held the office of deputy state inspector of mines. For some reason the miners of the Stark county dis- trict have conceived a strong dislike for Senator Hanna, and Jones shares in this to a marked degree. As a matter of fact, he was nominated cn the strength of a speech in which he referred to Mr. Hanna as an enemy of labor. The miners’ influ- euce was strong in the convention, and though the friends of Mr. Hanna tried to prevent his nomination, knowing that he would not be friendly to the senator, he was nominated in spite of that opposition. Jones knows that the influence of the sen- ator was used agairst his nomination, and suspects also that it was used to bring about his defeat at the polls. ~ This naturally makes him feel independ- ent of Senator Hanna, if not positively an- tagqnized to him. Jones Very Independent. It 1s also quite probable that, in that strong mining county, he could survive the opposition to a bolt of the party caucus. Jones is a man of very positive likes and dislikes, a perfect giant in stature, firm of visage and feature, and is said to be hard to persuede when he has once made up his mind. Last week he was interviewed at his home as to his senatorial preference. The interviewer asked him the direct ques- tion whether he would vote for Senator Hanna. Turning the matter into a semi- humorous phase, he replfed, laying his hand om the shoulder of the ‘interviewer and winking significantly: “Buddy” (Buddy is @ favorite miners’ wbrd):?**Buddy, watch and pray.” To a prominent republican pieteencal here who esked him a week ago e would vote for, Mr. Hanna sald he would not. te: ie atl Jones may hold out ‘agafhst the order of lis party and refuse''to ¥ote for Senator Hanna. Indeed, he may: become the leader of an organization against Hanna in his own party, if one is farmed, but there does rot seem to be amongthe so-called anti- Hanna republican members of the new legislature any other man: with the firm- hess and courage and ether qualities nec- essary to-make a fight-against the caucus decree, to say nothingiof leading in such | a movement. Masony-Bramley and Burke of Cleveland, the three ‘so-called anti-Han- na members froni Cuyahoga county, Sen- ator Hanna’s home, are. wholly in | the fighting qualitied;:without which an anti-Hanna movement>wotitd quickly col- lapse. They might follow in such a move- ment, but can in-no sense be leaders in it. Hanna’s Enémies Silent. Manuel and Bezsaré® of Payton, who were reported soon after the election as eager to accomplish the defeat of Senator Hanna, seem to have-repented of such ut- terances, if they ever:-made them. Rutan of Carroll ard Snider of Xenia, both classed €s opponents of Senator Hanna, are silent yet. Mr. Jones seems 1 us Means. it been urged will rotune to Weather conditions and general forecast.

But it is not at all certain that the fusion republicans will re- fuse to vote for Senator Hanna. It seems that they were not pledged to vote for the demecrati> candicate for the Senate before they were given piaces on the democratic ticket. : They were placed there as the result of a fight in the republican party in Cincin- nati against a corrupt republican ring. That is all there ic im the coalition. It is rumored that John R. McLean, who would certainly have been the senator had the democrats controlled the state iegislature, prefers that Senator Hanna should go to the Sen- ate rather than any other republican, and, if he could have any influence with these fusion republicans in the matter of clecting 2 senator, it would certainly be used in the interest of Senator Hanna. Position of Foraker Faction. It is well known that a number of promi- nent republicans of the Feraker faction would like to accomplish the retirement of Senator Hanna, but they have no votes in the matter and not a great deal of influ- ence with those that have. The position of Charles L. Kurtz is well know He ts ‘unaiterably opposed to the election of Sen- ator Hanna. It is elso quite evident that Senator Foraker himself will make no fur- ther effort Gov. to secure Hanna's elect‘on. Bushnell has said little, but enough ow that he would lose no sleep if the slature did refuse to return Mr. Hanna. other leaders of that faction are against the election of Mr. Han: but none of these are in control of the situation, nor can all of them affect the situation in any great desree. A different aspect may be presented before the legisla- ture meets, but as the matter stands now the return of Mr. Hanna seems to be quite well assured. THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS How the Newspapers Regard the Praise-Day of '97. Some of the Things for Which the People Should Today Be Thankfal. from the Baltimore Sun. In its combined character as a day of household reunion and general recognition ef religious obligation Thanksgiving em- phasizes the thought that all humanity be- longs to one great family and looks up to one common Father. It is the day of no party, of no sect, of no petty human division or claes. It is the day when by our united acknowledgment of the father- hood of God, we recognize also the brotner- hoed cf man. It is a good thing to be thankful, and it is a gcod thing’to have a day on which to express that thankfulness in concert. Whatever fcrm our gratitude may take, the day will not have been ill-spent, if it tends to bring men closer together and to quicken the higher impulses of the nation. From the Baltimore American. Thanksgiving day is designed for the expression of the nation’s gratitude for the blessings of the year. These blessings were somewhat scant at the beginning of the present year, but they have increased in elmost geometrical ratio since, and it would be churtish in any American citizen not to rejoice today. The three years prior to 1897 wére very lean years, indeed, but there were blessings for the nation even at tnat period. It is probable that no people on earth ever learned as much about their own government in so short a time, and of the means of avoiding future misfortunes. -They acquired this knowledge, moreover, at the least cost to themselves, as they will readily discover if they will calmly review the events. From the Philadelphia Times. Whe day is a challenge to every belicving man to testify his faith by a public ac- knowledgment, in such form as his own religious associations direct; and further- more to show his thankfulness by the spirit of Christian sympathy. And it is also a challenge to every man who believes in truth and. righteousness to bring all his best influence to bear for the promotion of truth and righteousness in civic affairs, It is a narrow and selfish view of the “Riverside” watch movements, made by the. American Waitham Watch Company, ~ can be bought of all retail jewelers, in cases of any price desired andin __,, various sizes for . both ladies.and : 8 day that recognizes only the family festi- vel and thinks neither of the duty of per- sonal charity on the one hand. nor on the other of the obligation of membership in a God-fearing commonwealth. The domestic side of Thankegiving is weil enough; put it is trivial in comparison with the public side of ti, and only so far as this is recognized can the day be made of any real impor- tance or profit either to the individual or to the state. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. We have our national troubles, but they are removable by wise statesmanship. Fisher Ames, over an hundred years ago, made an always quotable comparison be- tween a monarchy and a republic which still holds good. A monarchy is a man-of- war, but a single shot may send her to the bottom. A republic is a raft. Your feet are always wet, but you cannot sink her. Our quadrennial presidential contests may cause the timid to fear for the republic, but these fierce political battles are fol- lowed by the acquiescence and _the national repose which augur well for the perpetuity of our free institutions. For this national stability we cannot be too grateful. This year the nation has been signally blessed with abundant har- vests. We have been saved from “the pestilence that walketh in darkness.” The signs of contentment, prosperity and happi- ness are observable all about us, and he must. be a very querulous man who cannot discover cause for national rejoicing. From the Philadelphia Press, A country in which the press is free, the pulpit is free, the platform is free, the bal- lot is free. can blame no one for the ills which itself can remedy, and it has this en- couragement that it need but make up its mind, end keep it made up, to see the evils disappear. But it must be considered that all this, which is our encouragement and our opportunity, may be our reproach and our calamity. All this gives seriousness to life in a republic. The people who are the Victim of causes which they cannot remedy have at least whatever happiness may come from a sense of irresponsibility, but he who lives in a free state has something else to do than to laugh and sing if he would escape the reproach of bis own con- science and the reproach of pesterity. Let-us be thankful that along with our broad land, with its infinite diversity of climate, its boundlesness of production, with our immortal ancestry, the best ever grant- ed to man, there has been given oppor- tunity, opportunity, opportunity; that we may make our present and our future just what we will; that ail the experience of the Past is ours to use in building up the most Prosperous country on which the sun ever shone. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. As a people we have much to be thankful for today. Seldom in our national history has there been a year in which Nature showered her riches as she did last sum- mer. The horn of plenty was filled and running over; the plumed and tasseled corn filled the fields like a mighty army; the golden wheat nodded in the sunshine, and the ocean was crowded with ships carrying our yellow grain to other lands. The clang of the hammer, the ring of the anvil and the whir of the shuttle have made welcome music; grim-crowned Want threw down his scepter, and in his place came strong- limbed Industry, and the smoke from fa¢- tories went up to heaven like incense, and the skies took on a deeper blue and the earth seemed fairer, and the sun of pros- perity illumined the cold and the darkness in which so many had dwelt. The shadows hang thick over Euripe, at any moment the tocsin of war may sound, the teeming hordes of the orient are restless, kings and kaisers are dregming of fresh conquests, the old order of things is changing, and yet we rest peacefully and there is noth- ing to make us afraid. On last Thanksgiv- ing day we had the promise of the dawn of better times; now we have the reality; the wisdom of our statesmen has borne fruit, and the foundations of our republic are imbedded in the earth stronger and deeper than ever, and fit to withstand shock or assault. From tke New York World. As the Fourth of July is our national holiday of patriotism, so ving is our national holiday of the hearthstone. On the one we seek to express and renew our devotion tp the republic and to the liberty it so well guards; on the other we celebrate and cultivate that family unity and affection on which after all.our institu- tions rest. .

JOHN SHERMAN, G10 14th ot. ery foreign markets would not alone have given to the whole people such confidence and such solid ground for confidence as the events of the last year have brought. From the New York Herald. We have cause for most profound grati- tude and thanksgiving in the growth of a woerlé-wide sentiment in favor of peacefpl arbitration of differences between nations, and especially for the wane of jingoism at home and its failure to involve the country in needless and devastating war. We may well rejoice that the people throughout the land today hear the peaceful turkey’s sim- mer instead of listening to the eagie's Scream at the bidding of the jingoes. We are thankful for the passing of the yellow fever which afflicted the people of the south, and that, while the planter is getting @ low price for his cotton, the quantity gathered promises to be the largest ever krown. True, there still exist poverty and suffering, but we are thankful for the gen- erous aid extended to the poor today by their more prosperous brethren and for the krowledge that the general sum of happi- ness and well being is steadily growing. Broadly, we have neither famine, pesti- lence nor war, but plenty, health and peace within our borders, and even the least for- tunate has many reesons to join in the gen- eral thanksgiving. oo —____ Fire in Oakland Suburb. --President --.First Vice President -Second Vice President Secretary -Treasuret it Secretary o+++-Trust Oficer E.
