cation, to be effective, should be con

with the result of the election In West
Virginia, and is of the opinion that his
State may henceforth be counted among
those classed as safely Republican.

Opinion.

not likely King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway would be chosen to sit with the

parently Intimating that he would bin-presented
by a fifth Jurist to be nom
inated by himself.
In regard to the report published here
this morning that the clef Justices of
the United States and Ureal Britain
would not select natives of the United
States, to net as arbitrators. It is said
that this report is untrue, and It Is
added that the chief justices will have
r.ohing to do in the matter.
The St. James's Gazette, this after
noon, publishes a leading article head
ed, "An Historic Moment," during the
course of which it says:
"Lord Salisbury's great admission of
tho principle that the United States
have the right to Intervene In frontier
disputes of the American powers and
to compel the disputants to arbitrate,
altogether transcends In, Importance the
question of the Uuiana boundary. It
Is a formal recognition of the hegemony
of the United States on the American
continent and gives the president a
position in the new world) which the
medieval popes and emperors tried
vainly to claim in Europe."
ti. F. Wheeler, the eminent barrister
and chief clerk of the privy council, in
an Interview on the subject of probable
composition of the Venezuelan arbitra
tion tribunal, as far as Ureat Britain is
concerned, Informed i representative
of the United Associated Presses to-day
that It was un unusual thing for Judges
to sit on arbitration tribunals.
It was more than likely, he thought,
that eminent international jurists, such
as Sir W. H. Anson, Warden of All
Soul's College, Oxford, and Lord Davey,
Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, would be
appointed, though the latter would pos
sibly refuse to serve.

Caprivi, through the columns of his
organ, the Hamburger-Nachrichten.
which publishes to-day another article
on the Russo-Uerman treaty of neu
trality. The ex -chancellor is not in fav
or of the proposed debate on the treaty

why Caprivi ill 1S!W felt compelled to
cut the wires which still united Ger
many to Russia.
The ex-chancellor is of the opinion
that the quest l.m of paramount Im
portance to all Germany now Is wheth
er a powerful neighbor like Russia Is
in closer touch with Germany or with
her opponents in Kurope.

lection.
Pittsburg. Nov. 12. A conference
was held by a 'number of tin plate
manufacturers today to discuss the
proposed reorganization of the associa
tion and talk over the prospects of
a hlirhcr tariff on tinned plate.

as high as was fixed by the act of
1S!)0, but that there should be an ad
vance of about one-half cent on the
present rate of one cent a pound. An
effort will be made to convince mem
bers of the ways and means committee

FARMERS' CONGRESS.
The Third Day's Session Held at In
dianapolis Is Addressed by General
Benjamin Harrison.
Indianapolis, lnd Nov. 12. The third
days' session of the Farmers' National
congress had two important features.
One was an address by General Har
rison und the other was the adoption of
a memorial to congress.
General Harrison was in a happy
mood, and when he arose to speak he
was greeted enthusiastically. In part
he said:
I come here to make un acknowledg
ment of the compliment you have shown
me by Inviting me to appear before the
congress. 1 supposed that politics is
barred, as this is an agricultural meet
ing. I'm not un agriculturalist, though
burn und reared on a farm. My educa
tion was paid for by the proceeds of corn
and hugs. It Is a custom of the time for
men of a particular occupation to asso
ciate themselves together, to develop and
cultivate mutual interests. Such organ
izations are to be encouraged, but we must
not forget that lawyers, farmers and 'la
borers all have Interest, and that no
class shall try to get the better of other
classes. We are rejoicing that you are
getting a little more for your wheat and
corn, though it I at the expense of us
who have to pay a little more for the thing
we consume.
Then the general ventured a little
piece out Into political waters. I have
no patience with those people who are
always fighting the air," he said. He
advised men who believe that .legisla
tion Is prejudicial to them to go about
a fight In a systematic way, not "nght
Ing the air." It was plain that the
general was referring to u situation In
the recent campaign. He advised that
public sentiment be focussed un what
ever qestlon of unusual Import was
brought before people, und that men go
straight after what they want.
The memorial to congress was pre
pared by a special committee. . After
the memorial was read C. M. Hogg, of
Ohio, moved that the paragraph asking
that the duty upon wool as prayed for
by the National Wool Growers associa
tion one year ugo, and embodied in the
memorial, be stricken out, and also that
the time of holding Imported wool in
bond be extended thirty days.
The motion brought a wruthful reply
from Judge Iuwrence, of Ohio, who
charged that Mr. Hogg's interests were
with the manufacturers rather than
with the wool growers. He charged that
the Dlngley bill discriminated In favor
of the manufacturer and against the
wool grower. Mr. Hogg, In replying,
suld that 'Ja per cent of the manufac
turers were in sympathy with the
America u wool growers, und that the
discrimination against American wools
Is because of the faulty condition in
which they are put upon the market.
The memorial asks congress to see to
it that no trusts are oiKunlzed that can
extort exorbitant prices for farm prod
ucts, favors the protective tariff policy.
and asks, regarding wool, these changes
In the Dingley bill; that the "skirting
clause of the act of lS'.iU shall not be
applicable to the bill; that the pledge
therein that it shall continue In opera
lion, "until August 1. issx," shall be
stricken out: that the duties on woollen
rags, shoddy, mungo. (locks, nocks,
wartes and other adulterants shall In
made prohibitory, and that wool and
woollen manufactures Imported under
its provisions shall not remain in bond
ed warehouses more than ten days.

The Fact us to Mpain's Proposed
.Note to the Power" Vt ithheld at
Our Minister's Wih--No OUense
Mas luteuded to the United States
(Government.
Madrid. Nov. 12. With reference lo
the dispatches trom Washington re
ferring to the possibility of trouble be
tween the United States and Spain, it
is semi-otllcially denied that the Span
ish premier. Senor Canovas del Castil
lo, has communicated with the powers
in the sense Indicated, that of seek
ing support against the United States.
It is explained that the story is prob
ably a rehash of the report circulated
in August last, when Spain prepared a
memorandum on Cuban relations with
America, suggesting that the powers
ussist Spain in bringing amicable pres
sure to bear on the United States. But.
on the advice of the ambassadors of
the powers, the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs consulted with the
United States minister before sending
the memorandum, and the latter had
no hesitation In saving that the dis
patch of such a note directly after Pres
ident Cleveland's proclamation calling
for observance of the neutrality laws
would be calculated to seriously affect
relations between Spain and the United
States.
The Spanish minister for foreign af
fairs thereupon assured Minister Tay
lor that the memorandum would be
withheld, also stating that no offense
waB Intended to President Cleveland or
to the government of the United States,
and that Spain had only desired to
sound the powers with the view of
contingencies which might arise out of
the presidential election.
It is now added that the possibility
of war between the United States and
Spain is regarded as being most re
mote, and it la pointed out that so
far as desiring to force trouble with
the United States, Spain remained per
fectly neutral during the presidential
election.
