1:27 Wyoming Avenuo,
THE DOOM OF DE LOME
IConcluded from l'ntro 1.
Hut Lord Salisbury did not take
kindly to tho suggestion. He replied
that he could not act until ho had re
ceived the minister's explanation. He
did not regard the letter alone as sulll
elent to warrant the minister's recall,
"thuB ending1 his diplomatic career,
which would not necessarily he the
case 'If he were dismissed by the rov
ernment of the United States, for which
of course there nte precedents."
THE SACKVILIVE CASE.
Mr. Phelps having; advised that the
Intimation of Lord Salisbury be acted
upon, Inasmuch as there was no prob
ability of his recalling the minister
Immediately, Mr. Bayard proceeded to
dismiss Lord Sackvllle In the follow
InR terms:
Tho president of the United States
has 'Instructed me to inform you that
for cood and sufficient causes which
nro knowh to yourself and have been
duly broufjlit to tho knowledge of your
government he has with great regret
become convinced that It would bo In
compatible with the be.st Interests
and detrimental to tho good relations
of both governments should you any
longer hold your present official posi
tion, in tho United States and that ac
cordingly the government of H. B. M.
will without delay be Informed of this
determination in order that another
channel may be found for the trans
mission of such communications as
may be found desirable between the
two governments in the transaction
of their business. "Whenever it is your
pleasure to depart from the United
States I am instructed to furnish you
with the usual facilities and with that
view I now beg to enclose passport
in the customary form.
Lord Sackvllle left Immediately and
from October 30, 1S8S, until late in tho
spring of ISM) the British government
was represented here only by a charge,
a sign of the displeasure with which
it viewed the treatment of Us minister.
TEXT OF THE LETTER.
Tho Document That Has Aroused So
.Much Interest.
Following is tho letter in full, writ
ten by Minister De Lome to Senor
Canalejas:
Legation Do Hspana, Washington.
Kximo Senor Don Jose Canalejas.
My Distinguished and Dear Krlend: You
need not apologizes for not having writ
ten to mo; I also ought to havo written
to you, but havo not dono fo on account
of being weighed down with work und
nous sommes qulttcs.
Tho situation hero continues unchanged.
Everything depends on the political unci
military success In Cuba. Tho prologue
of this second method of warfare will
end tho day that the colonial cabinet
(.hull be appointed, and it relieves us In
thu eyes of this country of a part of the
responsibility of what may happen there,
and they must cast the responsibility
upon the Cubans, whom they believe to
be bo Immaculate.
Until then we will not bo able to see
clearly, and I consider It to be a loss ot
time and un advance by the wrong road
the sending of emissaries to the rebel
field, the negotiating vlth tho autono
mists not yet declared to be legally con
stituted, and the discovery of the Inten
tions and purposo of this government.
The exiles will return one by one, and,
when they return, will come walking into
the sheepfold, and tho chiefs will grad
ually return. Neither of these had the
courage to leavo en masse, nnd they will
not lmvo the courage thus to return,
The messago has undeceived the Insur
gents, who expected something else, and
has paralyzed tho action of congress, out
I consider it bad,
Besides the natural and Inevitable
coarseness Igroserla with which ho re
peats nil that the press and public opin
ion of Spain has said of Woylcr, It shows
once more what JIcKlnley is; weak nnd
catering to tho rabble, and, besides, a
low politician, who desires to leavo a
door open to me and to stand well with
the Jingoes of his party.
Nevertheless, as a matter of fact, it will
only depend on ourselveB whether ho will
prove bad nnd adverse to us. I agree
entirely with you; without a military sue.
cess nothing will bo accomplished thero,
and without military nnd political suc
cess thero is here always danger that the
insurgents win do encouraged, If not by
tho government, at least by part ot the
public opinion.
I do not believe you pay enough atten
tion to the rolo of England, Nearly all
that newspaper canatllo which swarms
In your hotel are English, and at the
name time that they aro correspondents
of the Journal, they nro also correspon
dents of tho best newspapers and reviews
of London. Thus It has been since tho
beginning. To my mind tho only object
of England Is that the Americans should
occupy themselves with us and leavo her
In peace, and If. there Is a war, so. much
the better; that would further remove
what is threatening her although that
will never huppen.
It would be most important that you
should agitate tho question of coinmerclil
relations, even though it would be only
for effect, and that you should send here
a man of importanco in order that I
might use him to make a propaganda
among the senators and others In opposi
tion to the Junta and to win ovor exiles,
Thero goes Amblard. I believe he conies
too deeply taken up with little political
matters, and thero must bo something
very great or wo phall loso.
Adela returns your salutation, nnd wo
wish you In tho new year to be a mes
senger of peace and take this New Year's
present to poor Spain.
Always your attentive friend nnd ser
vant, who kisses your hands,
Enrique Dupuy de Lome.

"Is it thu real thing?" asked the
Judge.
"Not now," answered tho grotesguo

but not now."

itation evil one was a resident of
Princeton,, of tho name of Prank Kiln
ney, who had attended a masked ball,
nttlrcd in bespangled tights. During
the early morning he wandered away
from tho heated ball room, and, In
roaming around town, managed to
knock down a restaurant sign. A few
seconds later ho fell Into the hands of
a uollceman, and landed in the police
court. He was obliged to sit In a cell
In tho shining beauty of tho pictures
que costume until a messenger brought
his renl clothes from the dressing
room of tho danco hall.
The judge charged Kenney $10 for
his liberty. He cheerfully paid it and
departed.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Itelev.
New Tork, Feb. 9. The most notable
feature of the stock market today was
the strong rally In tho last fifteen min
utes of trading. After 2 o'clock tho
bears started a raid apparently with
an aggressive determination to shake
out weakly margined holdings, and to
reach stop loss orders. They seemed
to bo succeeding ndmlrably In forcing
down prices, declines ranging from 1
to 2 points all throughout the list, but
the appcaranco of support at the low
level led to a covering movement which
became a rush, and the closing was
very like a rout of the bears. Sulwtnn
tlal recoveries were scored very gener
ally and In a large number of cases
early declines were entirely wiped out.
Tho market was one of ups and downs
all day, the opening showing numerous
signs of heaviness In spite of a high
er range of prices reported from Lon
don. Tho bulls promptly offered sup
port nnd rallied the market, holding
their advantage up to noon, when a
tendency to reallzo sent prices down
ward some gain. The Cuban situation
discouraged aggressive tactics on the
part of the bulls, the professional 'trad
ers being disposed to realize all day.
Thero was n decrease In the volume of
business nlso and a falling off In the
outside interest. Total sales were 356,-
200 shares.

DR. RIDPATH CONSENTS
January 13 th wc should have been compelled to announce the closing of the
Wanamaker History Club, as the club limit had been reached.
Such a course would have keenly disappointed thousands who had neglected to join the club.
The case was laid before Dr. Ridpath, and he generously consented to our having another edition, but only one-half as many
xs the former one. But he insists that no more shall be sold at this price.
With this absolute limit reached, there is NO TIME TO LOSE if you would secure this greatest of histories of tt
World's nations and peoples at half the publishers' regular prices.
Ridpath's
History of
the World
If you don't know the unique place
th's work holds In rnglsh literature
read minute it's more than Interesting.
John Clark Ridpath, A. M., LL. D.,
Is one of the most eminent historians of
this or any other time. He spent over
forty years in writing this History of the
World. We'd like you to get a clea
understanding of this wonderful work,
but it's hard to convey by telling.
Dr. Ridpath's work suffers much slm
ply because there's nothing to compare it
with in this whole world. No other his
tory has attempted to cover such a scope
yet it covers it thoroughly concisely
accurately.
You will some day feel the need of this
greatest of all histories. Buy it now
while you can share in the benefits we
have obtained from the publishers.
Join our HISTORY CLUU and you
save one-half. You pav the membership
fee, ONE DOLLAR, 'and the full set
Is delivered at once.
If, after ten days' reading, you think
you can get along without it, your dollar
bach you can return the books. You'll
keep them, though; every one does. Af
ter that, for fifteen months, you pav Si. ;o
monthly for the cloth, or $2 for the half
Russia which we specially recommend,
or 52.50 for full morocco, and you
own the world's best history of Itself, for
one-half 'he price you'd pay In any other
way.
