Horatio Huhens, who is counsel for the
Junta, and Very close to delegate Pnl

or i'alnia himself was too busy.
"W'e do not care to boast of the vie
tory," he said, "as we have only the
newspaper accounts of it as yet to en
alile us to judge of its importance.
There la no reason to doubt, however,
that the report is substantially correct.
Possibly there has been some exagger
ation in the account of the Spanish
losses. John Linn the electrician, who
had charge of the dynamite mines, is
a Jacksonville man. 1 notice the dis
patch bears a Jacksonville date, and
It Is not unlikely thai local pride may
have caused Linn's share in the vic
tory to be more or less mniAiillied. We
expect to have Alaeeo's own account of
the engagements by tomorrow morning
ami will then be in belter shape to
discuss the campaign and its probable
results.

the docks were Informed of the In
tention of the non-union men. and be- i
came indignant that they should lend j
thir aid to defeat the Hamburg strlk- I
ers. Th" union men armed themselves!
with billets of wood and made an at

lor the I.narnxler Company.
Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 27. Judg"
Dallas In the I'nlted States circuit court
this afternoon announced that he
would appoint a receiver for the Penn
sylvania Traction company of Lancas
ter county, on Monday next at 10 a. m.
The Judge withheld the name of the
prospective receiver, pending a sugges
tion, on his part, that the conllicting
interests in the present litigation should
get together and endeavor to agree on
the selection of the otlleial. The matter
came up In court today in the form of
argument on the bill filed on Monday
by (ieorge A. Lee, of Noiv York, fT
'himself anil other bondholders" ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver.
fVurlsel for the complainant asked for
the appointment of William 1!. (liven,
of Columbia, Lancaster county, a late
director of the Traction company, ami.
nominally only, the vice president of
tile corporation.
Attorney Prances Ttawle, who repre
sented the John A. lioeblings Sons Co.,
of Trenton. N. J., is the complainant
In the application for a receiver but
whose application was refused, pre
sented the name of Ihe Thomas Maeo,
of Trenton, for the oilier. Mr. Mace, it
Is said, is Identified with the Unellln;rs.
Judge Dallas, after hearing extended
argument, refused to consider Mr.
.Mnee's name in connection with the re
ceivership on the ground that the lioeb
linc Interest In the company Is com
paratively small. The judge conceded
that there was no controversy over the
appointment of a receiver; the only
contention being ns to the personnel
of the ollicial.
ASS0CIATI0N0F COLLEGES
Annual Convention of the Middle States
Begins at Philadelphia Discus
sion of Teaching Methods,
Philadelphia, Nov- 27. The tenth an
nual convention of the Association of
Colleges anil Preparatory schools of Hi
Middle Slates and Maryland began to
day In Houston hall, on the grounds
of the rniverslty of Pennsylvania, it
will end tomorrow night. Delegates
from over fifty colleges ami eight pre
paratory schools are in attendance, to
gether with distinguished physielcsls
and lending educators from all pans id'
the country. The gathering is of such
Importance that the local M-h-rd au
thorities decided to have no sessdsoiis
in either the hi-rh or normal schools
today, to enable the heads of these in
stitutions und the corpse of instructors
to nlloiul the convention.
A short meeting of the executive
committee preceded the regular ses
sion. Vice ProvoKt Pullerton, of the
1,'nivf rsily of Pennsylvania, delivered
uu address of welcome, to which Presi
dent Mackenzie of the association, re
sponded. The first regulatl spi alter was
Professor II. Morse, of Cornell univer
sity, who read a paper entitled "Shall
historical hi tulles be a necessary part
of college entrance requirements." The
paper was discussed by Professor John
1". McMaster, of the l'niversity of
Pennsylvania, Professor Lucy M. Sal
mon, of Vassal- college, and C. A. Horrid-,
of the Philadelphia Central hili
school. .
Professor Ira Remst-n. of the Johns
Hopkins university, read a paper upon
"High school science studies ns a part
of the preparation for college" and It
was discussed by Professor ( Ieorge V.
Hnrker. or the l'niversity of Pennsyl
vania, and U. U. Clark, of the Hroid'
lyti, N. Y., boys' high Hfhonl. Mr.
Clark took Is me with Professor Hem
Ben and criticised his paper in a caus
tic way. After stating that he knew
little about the subject from personal
knowledge, he added that though high
schools are often the feeders of the
colleges, the lntter nre not dependent
upon them for their attendance. "The
high school as 1 view it," he conlinued,
"is a school where those students may
attend who desire a knowledge of the
higher branches, but who cannot take
a collegiate course. It is with this end
in view that the studies are arranged
upon the system now generally in use."
This dosed the intimitis' session, and
after luncheon, the afternoon was de
voted to u conference on "college en
trance requirements." This evening
the delegates gathered nt the girls'
normal school, where addresses were
delivered" by Dr. James C. Mackenzie
upon "Democracy in education" ami by
President Charles W. Klliot, of Har
vard university, upon "Three years res
idence for the j. A. degree." Andrew
S. Draper, of the l'niversity of Illinois,
also made un address.

Andrew West, returned this afternoon
from Washington, where he had been
laying Cte claims of Princeton as a
place for n sidet-ce brfore President
Cleveland. Professor West when s.-en
this evening uuihoihsed the following
statement for publication.
"Presid nt Cleveland has today pur
chased the residence of Mrs. Slidell, '.n
Hayard avenue. In Princeton, nnd will
make Princeton his permanent homo
soon after the expiration of his t.r:;i
as president. Negotiations looking P
this end have been in progress for about
three weeks and were consumed today
by tile purchase of the property. A
number of reasons have attracted
President and Jlr. Cleveland to Prince
ton. The president's father was edu
cated for the Presbyterian minis?' re
here. The quiet and indenendent horn-"-life
of th place. Its healthfiilness. Its
con v nl nee to New York, the attrac
tion of a university society ns weil as
other re:iso' s have been influential in
his decision."
The ritual Mirchase price of the
properly could not be learn d tonlM,
but It Is generally understood t hit the
president paid between $4.1.(Kie and .
in") for It. The property is beautifully
located In the west-rn part of the vil
lage and overlooks a pietuesque strete'i
of faua country three or four miles In
extent. Directly nerors the avenue U
the residence cf Profr-psor William
Mulligan Sloan, and the location is by
far the most desirable one in the t.wn.

in the election, nnd their votes carried

there were not less than one million

tor the McKinley ticket and the num
ber may have been a million and u half.
The votes cust for Palmer and Huckncr
did not by any means represent the
si l ength of the sound money move

"The Republicans," he said, "have a
glorious opportunity before them.
Whether they will uiil themselves of
It. or not 1 don't know. Hy conserva

party u great portion of this sound

upon the tnriff trfry will hold them.
You muy lielleve In the tariff, not only
for revenue, but with protection. For
Instance, I would not raise my revenue
from tea, coffee nnd sugar, but from
articles that competed with American
labor. I do not, however, believe in
protection merely for protection's sake,
I think the Republicans will be likely
to uct conservatively In this regard."

Chicago. Nov. 27. An alternoon pa

Cubans claim to Independence is recog
nized twenty thousand lighting men
will go from this country to aid them.
These recruits will be obtulned here.
There are plenty of Americans who will,
enlist. No others are wanted. If any
Americans are caught by the Spaniu'-'U
after recognition by the I'uited States,
they will have to accord them the priv
ileges of prisoners of war, which
Americans cannot get now. Within
three months at the longest after the
I'nlted States takes such action Cuba
will be free. No attempt will be made
to reach President Cleveland, put Ma
jor McKinley Is pledged to our cause
and the government will he Inilucnced
to take the necessary steps."
The Cuban agent here Is said to be
directing changes which will be mad ?

that negotiations are pending for Cu

fluence the government should be na
tional In scope and power. He add fl:
"The best thing that can hapepn for
Cuba Is to receive recognition from his
country, tine sign of hope Is MeKln
ley's position. As he Is pledged to
recognize the Cubans when he tak'M
his seat It seems that the battle is
nearly over."
