United States action In the Cuban ques

examination of the question Involved,
but when two or three members of the
cabinet chaiwe to meet they talk often
if Cuba. It Is a nvtake to assume
that President Cleveland cannot be
r ached by the power of public opinion.
Thtmg'ii perhaps less amenable to such
influenced than mo.-t of our presidents
luivo been, he makes closer note of what
the people are thinking and sayinrf

It t'hjiices lut at tills Junoture the

it ;. to do toward winning the approval
cf the great nvassts t f the American
peeple mutt be done, In all probability,
dui'ing ithe earning- wilder. After n.
presidential election an administration
ii verly nearly moribund. If Mr. Cleve
land is not eager to do something that
will win popular U'-claim. If he Is pre
eminently satisfied with himself nnd
with his wonderful career us a public
man now drawing toward an end. many
.if his ndvlsers are not In so fortunate
or complainant niocd. Some of them I
are ambitious for the future. Others j
are eager to tvturn to private life with
more prestige than Is likely to attach
to their service in the Cleveland ad
ministration in case the record is per- I
nvltted U clow practically where it Is j
at the present moment. A number of ;
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet ministers !
would hail with J.iy intervention by this I
government bulween Spain, The oppres
sor, nnd Cuba, the victim.
Dissatisfied with I heir KccorJ.
It Is no secret that IXlr. Cleveland
himself, ami more markedly the mciii
I.M nf li'.s cabinet, are dissatisfied
with the record of this second Cleveland
administration. Only a few days ago
one of the president's advisers said to
me: we can i anoiu iu nun. ...m
nothing but the Oorman tariff bill anil
one or two bond Issues behind us."
If .Mr. Cleveland succeeds in bringing
congress to Its senses on the currency
question that will be a famous victory.
I'' will Tie a tall feather in the cap of
the administration. lUut in the opinion
of some of the president's adviscis that
will be a mere bagatelle compared with
what may be done. Imirtant as It Is
to tho country there Is no sentiment in
it. Two-thirds of th.- people of the
United StaUs do not know what It Is,
and one-half of them do not care.
Hut lit the American eagle once stick
his beak Into the Cuban question, let
Uncle ria.m invite Spain t- walk Span
ish out of the fair American island
which her oppressl-m has brought to
the verge uf ruin, and every America':!,
whether nian ur woman, boy or girl,
will know what that means and feel a
thrill of Joy and pride on account of M.
Everyone aa t-e that if an adminis
tration ever had an opportunity to go
out In a lila-se of glory and a whirlwind
of popularity. It Is the Cleveland ad
mlnistiation. Cuba. Hatvali. ihe Nica
ragua canal are the related opportuni
ties, the grand openings to test our
national strength and pivst!-ge which
aoiy other country in the world would
eagerly advantage by.
.The Policy or Isolation Is liuomt-d.
What this administration will do
about It the Ixird only knows. It some
times moves in a mysterious way ita
wonders to perform. Hut whatever Mr.
Cleveland may or may not do, many of
the shrewdest men a.bout him perceive
in this Cuban agitation In America a
phase of public opliflon which out
statesmen must sooner or later heed.
They perceive that the great outpour
ing' of sympathy for Cuba signifies
American restlessness under the Klicy
of Isolation ami self-containment. It
Indicates the tlay Is fast coming when
the most popular act any administra
tion can perform is to down with the
walls of tradlW'in and out to the sea for
empire. This sentiment has for a long
time been slowly spreading among the
people. It has found expression In the
Hawaiian case, In support of the Nlca
raguan Canal, In' the phenomenal popu
larity of the new navy quentlon out In
the cornfields of the Mississippi Valley
and the mines of the farther west, in
intense devotion to the principles of the
Monroe doctrine, and now It Is seen
attain on the side of republican Cuba.
Some of President Cleveland's advis
ers who see these things and under
stand their great significance nre har
assed by thoughts of what the future Is
likely to bring. They foresee another
administration following thlB, whether
Itepubllcan or democratic does not
matter, that will develop a national
over-sea ixtllcy, which Mr. Cleveland
has mo far refused to sanction. They
foresee a reaching out for empire, for
territorial and commercial acquisition,
for opportunities for our capital and for
our young men, for strength nnd pres
tige which will enable us easily to
hold our place as guardian of America
against any possible European en
croachment. If this TK)Iioy were to
have Its beginning and much of Its de
velopment during the four years ush
ered In 'March 4, 1897 as now seems not
only possible, but highly probable
then the second Cleveland administra
tion would indeed be odorous by com
parison. GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29. The Roman
Catholic church of St. Ann's, on Le
high avenue, was crowded today at the
celebration of the golden anniversary
of the laying of the corner stone in
1845. The scene about the altar, where
were seated Archbishop Ryan, of Ihll

extreme.

Tho Admiral Had No Kight in Ills Official
rapacity lu Congratulate President
I ruie
Washington. Sept. 29. Secretary
Herbert's reprimand of Admiral Kirk
land, commanding the Kuropeaii squad
ron, it Is understood, has been approved
by President Cleveland, and the inci
dent is thereby probably closed. Ad
miral Kli kl'.uul is an old personal friend
of the chief executive of France, and
when M. Kau re w as elected to the .presi
dency of that republic the former wrote
him a congratulatory letter, signed In
his otllclai capacity. When knowledge
of this fact transpired, exception was
taken to It by the tavy department -and
Secretary Herbert called fur an expla
nation. Admiral Klikland made no ef
fort to conceal the authorship of the
letter, and reprimand was adminis
tered by the secretary. From this the
oflieer appealed to the president.
It Is said that the president In Ilia
lc-'tter to the admiral tiansmitlted
through the secretary, went farther
than mtrely upholding lh? course of
the secretary, and Informed Admiral
Kirk land that in his otllclai capacity
as commander of the Kurnpean squad
ron he had no right to write a com
munication to 'the piesldvnt of Kiance
congratulating him upon his election.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Herbert both were of the opinion that
the extern-Ion of congratulations to a
successful candidate might be taken as
felicitation over the defeat of his op
ponents, and the latter, taking umbrage
at the course pursued by our naval rep
resentative, hilgbt enrbioil us in a com
plication with the government of
r laiK-e.
Hear Admiral Kirk land did not refuse
to punils'h the department with a copy
of his letted to M. Faille, but so far It
has not been received.
This evening See-rotary Herbert posi
tively declined to discuss the matter.
LEXOW IXti TlKKOCHACY.
Senator puny Will Not Admit That lie Is
Opposed to Congressman Pulzcll for
t'liolrinatv . f Ways and Means Com
mittee. Philadelphia, Sept. 2!. A special to
the Record from Heaver, Pa., says:
Senator Quay seems to think that the
Penrose Investigators will confine their
labors solely to Philadelphia and will
not bother with the affairs of Pitts
burg. As tomorrow will be his birthday, the
senator had a number of neighborly
calls today. He will go to Dlllsburg,
York county, tomorrow, where his na
tive townsmen will celebrate the event.
A demonstration will be made there, It
is expected, but the senator, who will be
B2 years old. says he needs rest more
than honors st the present time.
He wus asked about the reported
frantic efforts making to get the Pen
rose Investigator, In western Pennsyl
vania iVter they got through with
Phllailelpb'-a, if tluy ever do get
through with It.
Senator Quay replied: "My Impres
sion is that the committee was created
to lnvestlg'jite Che government of llrst-cl.-ips
cities. That would mean Phila
delphia only. I K"t this Impression
while Magee ami Fllnn were challeng
ing the InvesMgatlon of Pittsburg. As
for myself, I am not Lcxowlng unyone
Just now, except the Democratic
patty."
Heritor Quay will not admit that he
Is opposed to Congressman Dalzell for
chH'li man of the ways and means com
mittee. C. L. Magee says 4h'.it Quay
would not dare turn Dal.t'll down, and
nsserts, moreover, that he will not try
to do so.

Day Not fixed.
Paris, Sept. 29. The following Infor
mation concerning the closing hours of
Professor Pasteur's life lias been ob
tained by the correspondent of the
V ni ted Press. Professor Pasteur's con
dition became seriously worse on the
evening of Friday last. About 9
o'clock yesterday morning his wife
asked him whether he suffered much
pain. The dying man faintly whispered
"yes." This was the last word that
he uttered. Afterward he was most of
the time unconscious. When It was
seen that the end was near. Professor
Pasteur's son, who was Efaylng ut fan
Sebastian, was summoned, but he did
not arrive in time to see his father
alive. Mme. Pusteiir. a few near rela
tives. Dr. ltoux and others engaged In
the Pasteur Institute, were present at
the death bed. After death. Mme. lis
teur closed her husband's eyes nnd
placed a crucifix in his hands.
At L'Ftang park. In a room on tho
first floor of a ramshackle building,
above stables where a hundred horses
are kept for use In connection with the
preparation of diphtheria serum, lie
the remains of the great chemist. The
chamber has a low celling and the walls
are covered with cheap green paper.
A smull enrpet Is spread on the deal
floor. There are two wicker-seated
chaiirsand nn arm chair. The body lies
on a uimple, curtalnless wooden lod
stead. On a plain talde stands a
branched candlestick, In which are
lighted candles. Close by in a cup
board placed between two windows are
the books that 'M. 1'iasteur used to take
to Vllleneuve from Paris whenever he
paid a visit there. The unpretentious
character of the surroundings seem to
throw Into relief the reposeful features
and strong, benevolent face of the
dead man.
The boOy of M. Pasteur will prob
acy be em'balmed tonight. The public
will be admitted to view the remains
tomorrow.
Request of the Oovcrnmcnt.

care, French minister of public instruc
tion, arrived. Ills mission was to re
quest the family to allow the govern
ment to give the dead scientist na
tional obsequies and to Inter the body

band of M. Pasteur's daughter, on he
half of the family, deferred an accept
ance of these offers until M. Octave
Gerard, M. Punteur's executor nnd col
li -asue In the Aeademy, rt .vds the will
of the dead man to the assembled fam
ily liotilgr t. Nevertheless It l already
settled thul the ihody will be exposed

MR. SPRINGER SAILS FOR CUBA
Costa Kica brought Into tho Dispute nnd
Venezuela May Cut an Important
riguro-Amcrlcans File a Claim
for Damages Against Spain.
Waj-h'lngiion, Sept. 29. Whatever will
be t'he final action of the government
In regard to Cuba, the slate depart
ment is collecting much information
nbout (the revolt, t'nlted States Vice
Consul Sprlmger has been here for sev
eral days in consultation with Secre
tary of Wttate Olney. He left tonight
for Ct'iba ibinrln'jr Instructions as to the
conduct of tho American ofliclals there
In the interest of Americans temporary
rt t'Uent in Cuba at the time their lives
and property might be Jeopardized by
the Ins-urit'otlon.
The state department h'as been In
formed t'hat Spain's foctlhold in Cuba
Is In a. precarious condition, and grow
ing worse each day- It is lielleved they
cannot quell t'he lnsurreotlon. One seri
ous point In 'the trouble is In regard to
Costa Kica and Sisiin. Spaniards ac
cused the Ciwla Moans of furnishing
supplies to the Cubans, and there Is
dunger ithat Spanish war vessels may
nt any moment blockade Costa Plea.
The Span'lards 'hesitate to do this, fear
ing Mo unify 'Southern and Central
America, against themselves, knowing
that If swh an excuse were offered the
Central and South Americans would
Immediately send ships and men to
t'he aid of the revolutionists. Spain Is
apprehensive lest this should be fol
lowed by ithe recifgnitlon of the Cuban
Insurrectionists as belligerents by the
Central and South American countries,
and that then the United States might
follow suit.
In Cnsc'of blockade.
This Government would be unable to
Interfere If the Spanish should blockade
Costa Kica, because of the precedent
established by the failure to prevent
flreat Britain from blockading Corlnto
during tlie dispute between Nicaragua
nnd England. It Is believed here mat
t-'ipaln can hardly hold out much longer,
for the Cuban revolutionists are dally
making progress In their fight for free
dom. Whatnction the United States
will finally take is uncertain, but the
state department. through Mr.
Sprlnser. has full Information of condi
tions and can take such action as
seems necessary at the proper time.
A $20, out) claim for damages against
Spain was Hied with the state depart
ment this morning In behalf of Oustav
RIe-helieu. an American citizen. Itlche
lieu and August pulton, both of this
country, were engaged In turtle flshliiR
and left Port Au Prince, Hayti. Peb.
8 lust for Cape Haytlen, with papers
In regular form. Had weather drove
them to the Cuban coast and they final
ly put In to the port of Santiago de
Cuba. Teh. 23. Here they were arrested
and thrown Into prison for sixty-two
days and kept there without trial,
charged with having brought one of the
Maceo brothers to Cuba.
The men appealed to T'nlted States
Consul Hyatt, who, after many pro
tests, finally secured their liberation on
April 2". Itoth men deny having any
thing to do with the Insurgents. Their
papers showed they were In legitimate
trade, but despite all these representa
tions, .their sloop was confiscated and
they were only enabled to reach the
United States through the old of the
United States consul.
