C President McKlnley's tntflsngo to congress hns been received by Cubans of all classes with much satisfaction. Tvon the leaders of the extreme party admit thin , and the announcement that there will bo no American civil governor has cleared away most of the clouds that had boon hang ing over the Cuban political situation. La Luclm , alone among the papers , still favors a civil governorship. General Collazo sajs"Tho message will pacify the country. President McKlnley's stntcmontn nro not very concrete , but If con- fcrcfrfl guarantees the Independence of Cuba wo need not ask for nny specification as to the time for the removal of the American trcops , although everybody would bo glad to see the black troops go , because of the excesses they commit. " Gualbcrto Gomez said : " 1 had expected the message to bo encouraging , but 1 had not expected such clearness of thought. Con gress will go further and will justify the hope of the Cuban people. " La Discussion says : "President McKlnley's message will nil the henrts of nil lovers of Cuba with Joy. His words 'whatever bo the outcome wo must sec to It that free Cuba bo a reality , pot a name , ' should bo wrtlten In letters of gold over the door of the Cuban white house. The Cuban republic will bo bound to Lin coln and McKlnley by Indissoluble bonds of love. " La Patrla says : "Hurrah for President McKlnley ! Ho could not have spoken In clearer tones. It Is Impcsslblo for the giddiness of conquest to overpower the deep , natural Impulse of a noble and democratic people. " La Cubano says : "Tho message contains the clearest words jet spoken by President McKlnley , nnd shows that Justice la the guiding principle at Washington. Our hearts , hitherto bowed down by tremendous scepticism , nro now relieved and wo may expect congress to spcnk still more clearly. " LO.MIOJV PIIUSS ov TIII : sinsbAcu. Mont fif the CoiiinieiitN ArtA'er.v l"a- ornlile In Tone. LONDON , Dec. 6. The amount of space devoted here to President McKlnlej'e mes sage to congress evidences the widespread Interest in the document. The afternoon newspapers , In long editorials on the subject , particularly refer to the currency declara tions and solace themselves with the Idea thnt the good relations between the United States and Great Britain are so well known as not to have required emphasis ail In the case of Germany. The Pall Mall Gazette sees In the message nn unmistakable reproof of Mr. Chamber lain's Leicester speech. The Globe thinks the dosumont Is weak In higher statesmanship nnd thnt on foreign policy , as elsewhere , It Is tinctured vvlth'op- portulsm. The Westminster Gazette , discussing the reference to Canada , says : "When dlscuss'ng ' the relations between Great Britain nnd the United States It ought always to be remem bered that there are very material Interests which must bo dealt with on buslnea and not on sentimental grounds. Graceful con- cesslo'ns are not seen In the same light by the daughter as by the mother. " llkc thu DERLIN , Dec. fi. The message gent to congress yesterday by President McKInley has been most sympathetically received by newspaper and government circles in Ger many. This Is especially tiuo of the foreign office , ono of tbo highest olllclals of which told the representative of the Associated Press that the document had made a splen did Impicsslon , adding that the distinctively warm tone of the message will tend In an Important manner to deepen nnd strengthen the friendship of the itwo countries ma terially and remove dlfllcultles In the set tling of the meat and sugar questions still ponding. iierr uarin , in tno Nation , win say : "Tno most Important thing In the message for tbo economic Interests of the world Is the propo rtion to put the United States more squarely on the gold standard. It IB the lact kick to bimetallism. " The National Zeltung says : "President McKlnley's words , In referring to Germany , plainly show n favorable revulsion of senti ment toward us. In Germany the friendly words of the American president will be appreciated nt their full value. Germany also earnestly drslreo to maintain the bcht relations with the United States nnd the full ot lojnlty and friendship In economically competing. " Different Comment * In 1'nrln. PARIS , Dec. C , The Temps says It finds "want of decision in President McKinley's message , which must bo disconcerting for the country , which needs un unequivocal , linn statement. " Referring to the paragraph on foreign nffalis , the Temps says. "After Mr. Cham- bcrlaln It was President McKlnley's turn nnd ho has shown himself tactful. Ho speaks warmly of friendship , but does not breuthu n word of alliance Thfbo uro shades of language which say much for the I fragility ot the ties of sentiment between the two countries. His allusion to the fail ure to reach an agreement with Canada Is very clear. Alliances may be talked of , but a difference of secondary Importance i cannot bo settled amiably. Referring to South Africa , McKInley held the balance level between the two belligerents nnd even inflicted on Mr. Chamberlain nml the pre tentious Imperialists the cruel word 'me diation. ' In short , the message will little please the noLsy champions of alliance , which It Ignores , whllo It will give satisfaction - faction to nil wlso friends of a good under standing between the two great Anglo- Saxon nations. " The Llberto says : "Wo cannot but congratulate - gratulato ourselves on the good feeling shown toward us by President McKlnley. France Is alwajs ready to promote commerce and Industry between the two republics. " I'll'IINI-N M13XICO CJTY. Dec.

MORE STYLE AND LESS DRUDGERY Monily Driiintiil tnr tlio Hr t Inferior AnliimU HlnorcilUotl nlllciiiit rontiiroH of tbe York Slum. This year's horse show In New York is , of ficially , the fifteenth annual exhibition of the National Horse Show association , reports Harper's Weekly. If the forebodings ot Homo of the prophets who hnve lately fore cast the future of the horse are well founded , the horse show must be a decaying Institu tion , and the moil fragile of us may 'expect to see the last of It. Meanwhile It given no convincing evidences of decrepitude. No doubt , as n social appliance for the exhibi tion of persons ot high fashion to one an other and the general public It culminated some years ago , but as a show of horses It continues to do well. At the auction sale of boxes for the present show , the other day , $17,100 was realized , which Is better by more than $1,000 than last } ear's show- Ing. Probably the total receipts of this j car's show will reflect In due measure the boisterous prosperity of the country. Kvery year more and moro of the world's heavy drudgery Is done by machinery. In Innumerable things machinery does the work that used to fall to human muscles. The hodcarrler Is growing obsolete ; the donkey- engine now carries up the brlcka and the steam drill pounds holes In the rocks ; but there aio more men than ever , and ap parently more work for them to do. What machinery does In the end Is not to crowd men out of employment , hut to lighten the work of their hands and muscles nnd call for increased activity In their minds. Ma chinery , wo hope , Is helping to lift up the great mass of humanity by making lite easier tor it and making possible a fuller reward for Its labors. It IB doing an analo gous work for the horse. In that It encour ages processes of selection which are rais ing the general average of home Intelli gence and ability. We must expect , as elec tricity and steam and gasoline and com pressed air are more nnd more used to propel all sorts of vehicles , that the num ber of horses In the world will diminish. That Is where the case of man nnd that of the horse may differ , for we do not look to see fewer men on the earth , however much work may be done by coal. Out the number of horses is directly determined by the demand for them , and it cannot bo doubted that the demand for horses of in ferior quality has already decreased. nnnliiK the Uurdeii. For purposes of carriage and transporta tion , coal nnd Its extracts are a prodigious success. In so far as they release the horsy from the work of hauling public vehicles of every sort , they do him a good turn and benefit creation. If our children never see a horse strain at the tugs to start a loaded street car , so much the better , both for hu manity and equlnlty. Whenever the mouth ot the horse ceases to be sawed by the reins that descend from the roof of the hansom- cab , so much the better. We need not even mourn the disappearance ot the truck- horse , though at bis best he Is a fine , Intel ligent creature and , In good hands , must lead a happy life. All the horses that are driven by butcher boys and grocers' boys and that haul express wagons and delivery wagons we can part with without a sigh , unless It Is n sigh" of relief at their release from labor that is apt to be Ignominious and harassing. What wo cannot snare , and what there Is no present sign that we ever will spare , Is the horse's personal Qualities and his beauty. As the companion of man ho would be fit ID be cherished even If there wore no work left for him to do ; but there Is , and always will be , a great work for him to do in giv ing health and pleasure to man. Machinery can beat him In speed and certainty and en durance , can supplement him and often take his place ns a minister to our pleasures , but It cannot equal him in personal beauty and Interest. Ho hns style ; ho has life ; ho has affection and sense and a disposition. In those characteristics the creature ) that God made will always bo unrivalled by any dev - v Ice of man. AutOlllOllllOd. Automobiles will supersede the horse with many persons even for purposes of display and pleasure. They are full of the promise of usefulness to humanity. A good many folks to whom every horse is n wild beast feel much safer on -machine than behind a quadruped , who has a mind ot his own , nnd emotions which may not always be fore stalled or controlled. Certainly there Is a great future for these machines , but they will not altogether take the place of the horse. Horse lovers may claim that they are Imperfectly educational , since swapping them or selling them can hardly deve'op such mental acuteness as does dealing In horses. Perhaps they are moral , and make up in that direction a part of what they luck as engines of sport. That the horsa is of good repute as a promoter of morality can linrdly be claimed even by his best friend. The aleatory quality In him which delights the sportsman will perhaps always be the moralist's despair. Even In the country , where ho Is the - ad junct of agriculture nnd hauls the parson's buggy , ho does not cease to be a gamble ; and his speed , his obvious merits , his roon- dlte defects and Inseparable uncertainties , are as liable to strain the rural consclenco as they are to sharpen the rural wltn. It Is not the horse's fault , and we should not shun him for It. Horse nature Is geol enough , and if It brings out some weak .points In human nature It Is as well for our consciences to have their proper exercise and be kept In training. We pray not to bo led Into temptation , but wo may well mean j such temptation as Is bejond our strength. Wo should not bo content with a rectitude bo collapsible that wo dare not own a horse that can go a mile In less than three minutes I or Jump a fence more than forty Inches I high. If we really mistrusted the moral < Influence of the horse as much as we some-1 times think we do , we should not want our children to have equine companionship In' ' their childhood Yet that Is something Hint' most parents covet for their children , nnd It Is a great vindication of horse nature and a great compliment to horses that It should bo so. KIKM > leclK < - of ( lip Jlornp , It was In the newspapers the other day that It was proposed to give Instruction about the horse to the children In the pub- ' llu schoola of New York What the ultimate ' aim of It was Is not hero recalled to teach ' ' them to he kind to animals , perhaps but , at any rate , It recognized that it Is good for , children to Know horscB , nnd It was on many accounts a good suggestion To ho i a fair Judge of n linrte Is very well worth while The knowledge It Implies Is power | In Its way. for certainly every perbon who i knnns her e feels himself superior In that' ' particular , and something more , to folks I who don't. It Is an Important source of I pleasure , too , nnd of pleasure that Is cheap j nnd constant. In the strcetH of New York | there Is a horse show , and a great one , In progress eight months In the jear. Every observer whose HOIISO of merit and beauty In horses has been tialned observe * In stinctively every horse that passes , and gets a momentary pleasure from every good one ho sees To go through life without Interest In homes and without appreciation I of the peed points of Rood ones Is n wnilo of boi'iitlful opportunity which no thrlftv person should endure. The most useful of fice of the horse shows Is to teach people to underataml about horses and know good horses when they see them. The compnrl- sons and competition of the shows result In Improving the breeds ot all sorts of horses , nnd that Is Important , too Hut If we nro right In our self-concelted opinion that the promotion ot human happiness Is the end of nil the brute creation , It Is even more Important thnt the capacity of men to appreciate nnd delight In horses should be enlarged than 11 Is thnt the standard of equine beauty should be ralsr l Hut the promoters of horse shows need not consider whether It Is more In the Interest of men or of horses thnt they work , so long as their labors promote both I-\T KH.I.S ITS imi > - Dlil .Not Liter ( In- mention ( lie VrrMul Witn llpp > lInur. . The "fury of \\oman scorned" Is often spoken of ns something to bo feared , but , Judging from a tragedy enacted In Minne apolis , it Is not In It with the nnger ot n common cat when It realizes thnt the place It once filled In the affections of Its owner' has been taken by another nnd perhaps prct- tier cat. Old Dick , n big jellow cat , Is the property of an east side joung woman , lelates the Minneapolis Times , and for a number ot months past has been the whole thing around the house , so far ns pets were con- ccrned. He had his own dish for milk , his own rug and was a pretty lucky feline , take It any way you would. His favorite resting place wns In the lap of his mistress , nnd when she recently brought home n little gray kitten of which hc made much Old Dick mnnlfested his displeasure In a variety of ways. His disposition seemed to change and In stead of following his mistress nround the house , as ho had been In the habit of doing , he simply turned his back upon her. Sev eral times the young woman caught the old fellow In the act of cutting the now arrival and for this she reproved him sharply. Finally the little kitten was unmolested when the mistress was nround , but the old cnt manifested his anger In other directions Yesterday morning the joung woman had the kitten In her lap petting It and calling It endearing names when Old Dick entered the room. He begnn to growl when ho saw the tenderness with which the kitten wns treated nnd then tried to Induce the young woman to pet him Instead of the kitten. His attempt wns a failure , however , nnd then the old cnt went almost wild with rage. With a single bound he was In the Inp ot the young woman , who lest her presence ot mind nnd begnn to scream , fearing the old cat was about to attack her. Seizing the kitten by the back Old Dick jumped to the floor nnd , holding the kitten down by his front paws , deliberately tore open the llttlo animal's neck , killing It In a tow seconds. As soon ns the kitten was dead the old cat looked at the body for a moment and then disappeared through the open door and hns not been seen since. The tragedy was clearly the result of an ger on the part of Old Dick , who up to the present time had never been known to get into a quarrel with another cat. In fact ho was so gentle that his name wns a s > nonym for nil that was gentle and mild and his be havior can be explained on no other theory than that ho was driven Insane by jealousy , 1 "I'll git dls watah ruillon home , er bust !
