WEYLER'S TURN FOR BOASTING

A ni erica n Soldier Into

M3W OltK, Nov. 10. A dispatch to tho
Herald from Paris says: Oeneral Weyler
has emerged from his aholl and tiros i-omo
hot shut at Anglo-Saxons In general In an
lntorvlow given to tho Figaro's correspond.
ent. no aalii:
"It has required the oveuts lu tho
Trausvaal and tho btorles of tho real
cruelties committed upon tho Doera by Lord
Koberts and tho Hiigllah for Kuropean
military wrttsrs to acknowledge that I never
conducted myself In Cuba us tho Drltlsh
havo dono In bouth Africa. People are now-
beginning to do .no Justice. Tho truth of
tho matter Is that I carried on tho war In
Cuba with the rigor which war requires.
"If I had been able to gather together u
strong conscrvntlvo party after tho death of Chicago Irish ambttlanco corps who fought
Canovas I should havo prconted the loss ln (no Transvaal. They wero met at quar
of Cuba. At tho head of the Spanish troops uliUo by a comtnlttco to arrauge for their
whlcn wero then in tno island I should havo
driven tho Americans Into the sea. Tho
hasty levies of Americans would never havo
been ablo to ropo with tho Spaniards. 1
should never hnve asked for a tleet to bo
aunt to me. My resources down thero (In
Cuba) wero qulto ample.
"Hut It U tuo Jato now. What's tho good
of crying over spilt milk? Politics lost
us our colonies. No blame whatever can
attach to tho urmy. All It did was to obey
orders. It was In nowise roponslble for
our disasters.
"Today, If it bo necessary for the good
of Spain for mo to glvo my usulstunce nnd
my personal support to a political party I
will certainly do so. If tho liberal party needs
mo to recoustituto and undertake a cam
paign ln conformity with its traditions of
liberty anil progress I will give my help to
tho liberal party, hut I will consent to bo
a politician for six or eight months only.
Immediately afterward I will onco again be
como a soldier that and nothing more.
"It la my opinion that If Marshal Martinez
Campos had remained purely and simply a
soldier hU fame would have been all the
greater."
So far as the Carlist movement is con
cerned, Oeneral Weyler says It 13 doomed
to failure.

Mllll IlllkPd,
WASHfNQTON, Nov. 16. Minister Wtt
has received from Director General Sheng
tho following cablegram, which ho coiutnu
nicatej to Secretary Hay today:
"An imperial decree of November 13 de
prives Prince Tuan unci l'rlnco Chv.-nng of
their rank3 nnd oftlces and orders them to
be Imprisoned for llfo; l'rlnco Ylh nnd
l'rlnco Ylng to bo Imprisoned; Secondary
Prlnco Lien to bo deprived of his rank:
J Duko Lan and Ylng Nleu to bo degraded In
rank; Kang YI being dend, no penalty can
be Imposed upon him; and Chao Shu Chlao
to bo degraded, but retained In office, and
ill Hslcn to be exiled to tho farthest
boundary "
Tho Chlncso ofllcials mentioned in tho
decrco aro among tho highest in China
nnd comprise most. If not all, of thoso
ngalnst whom tho powers demand rigorous
punishment. Prlncr. Tuan stands at the
head of the antl-furclgn und lloxcr move
ment. Previous edicts have degraded him
nnd taken uway his ofllco and servants,
but this Judgment of llfo Imprisonment Is
tho most sevcro tints far glvun to any of
tho lenders responsible for tho trouble.
From a Chlncso standpoint It Is an ex
treme penalty to u prlnco of tho blood,
but It remalus to bo seen whether the
powcia will regard it us adequate to
Prlnco Tuan's olfcusc. Tim others men
tioned wero Tuau's uctlvo associates nnd
two of them wero spccillcally mentioned
for punishment, along with Tuau, In Sec
retary's Hay's nolo of October 3, advising
tho Chinese government that tub country
would expect theso ofllcials to receive their
Just deserts. Kang Yl Is 0110 of tho 0(11
cluls who died uuddenly after tho demands
for punishment had been made, probably
by BUlcldo. Yu Halcn Is another who was
thought to havo committed suicide, but
tho edict indicates that ho Is Ktlll alive.
As the ministers at Pekln ulso havo been
considering tho question of punishment tt
will dovclop speedily when they lay their
demands beforo tho Chlnrse envoys
whothor tho edict of tho Chinese emperor
gives punishments which nro regarded as
adequate to tit the crimes.

The independent native party has car

bers of tho house, with nlno republican
nnd six Independents and democrats. In
tho senato thcro will be seven republicans,
eight independents and 0110 democrat. With
tho Independents In control, n lively session
is expected, as they arc against the ruling
regime.
It is likely, ns a result of the election,
that concrcss will bo asked to establish
somo limitations upon tho voting privilege.
Many of tho whites want a proper quali
fication for voters. It Is argued that In
voting upon a Hlmplo color lino many of
the natives havo shown themselves unfU
for universal suffrage.
Tho returns, which nro not qulto com

Tho pre incts to ho heard from are ex

Wilcox carried every Island but Oahu,
where Honolulu Is, with Its largo white,
population and with a majority of tho ed
ucated natives. Tho lslaud of Knual gavo
more votes to Wilcox than to Parker and
David combined.
Tho most encouraging feature to tho
whites of both parties Is In tho fact that
thu Wilcox majority is so email, which
shows that very many natives wero divided
upon other than ruco lines. If all tho na
tives had cast Wilcox votes his majority
ou each of tho Islands would havo been
much lnrgor than It Is. Probably a third I
of tho native population was aligned" with
tho American parties and It Is thought
that tho futuro will rapidly lncrcnso the

Although the Jury's verdict In the case
of tho State against tho Omaha National
bank has not been oftlelnlly unnounccd, It
Is known beyond a doubt that It Is for tho
defendant. Tho bank's counsel were Jubi
lant over tho outcome. It was through
them that It became known the state got
tho worst of tho decision. One of the at
torneys gavo his clients assurances that
tho verdict was not kept secret In at least
one instance. Tho Jurors reached an agree
ment ubout 8:30 o'clock in tho evenlug, too
late to havo the counsel nnd others Inter

hours' deliberation. The verdict was sealed,

cuso InvoHes a larger sum of money than
I any they can remember. The face value of
the famous Hartley check, on which tho
suit Is based, Is 'J01.000. Tho Interest Is
$48,000. Theso sums nro given In round

than a quarter of a million of dollars.
Although tho caso may bo taken to tho
supremo court, thcro Is one Important
question In connection with it that will be
settled Dually If tho verdict Ib for tho-.de-fendant,
and that Is tho validity of the
warrant. The stato has based Its caso on
tho contention that tho paper waa void.
At tho former trial lu tho district court
J ml go Uaker took the caso away from the
Jury and Instructed them for tho defend

evidence to Justify its having gono to tho
Jury for deliberation on this one point,
whetliT or not tho warrant was valid.
It Is n question of fact to bo determined
by tho Jury, and ono that tho higher
tribunal cannot disturb. This phaso of

Apropos of the discussion regarding the
American Linseed company President Guy

statement:

The simple lin t Is tli.it wo lit ed more

There Is u eonimltteo now nt work formu

nnd it will report to tlio directors at their
prospective meeting on December 3 lu this
clt).
Thero aro two plans under discussion. Tho
Ilrst Is tho simple project of an Isbuc of
bonds. The second Involves a reduction of
capitalization. If this plan wero chosen tho
capitalization would probably bo reduced to
about S1C.000.000. of which Jl 1,000.000 would
represent tho stock now existing, the 10
mnlnlng Jj.000.000 to bo subscribed for by
an underwriting syndicate, which could pay
for it In cash nt pnr, tho rash so provided
being devoted to working capital.
"It Is by no means likely," Bald President
Major, in response to a question, "that we
shall consider tho method of upplylng for a
receiver and affecting a reorganization
through a voluntary bankruptcy. As we aro
not defaulting in paying interest on bonds,
wo havo no ground for applying for a re
ceiver. And, then, wo own a greut deal
of property In Illinois. Dy the laws of
that state nny holder of tho shares of our
stock could got an Injunction against ua,
blocking tho exchnngo of stock which would
bo necessary."

Joint Session .... 71 II- t
Tho completion of tho ortlclal rauvaBS of
tho votes In Douglas county lled this di
vision of tho parties in tho coming Ne
braska legislatures as tlio rolls will orig
inally bo made up.
Whllo tho republicans have n decided ma
jority lu each house nnd ou Joint ballot tho
strength of respective, parties is moro even
than for many sessions punt.
ln tho senato tho tepubllcans have eight
een und tho fustoulsts fifteen, the repub
lican majority being three, in tho houso
the rrpubllcatin havo tlfty-thrco and tho fu
Honists forty-box en, tho republican ma
jority being six.
On Joint bullet tho republicans will havo
seventy-one and tho fuslonlsts sixty-two,
the republican majority being nine.
From the roatcr cf tho Bciinto mem
bership Is disclosed a wraith of strong men
wno will probably mako themselves henrd
and felt lu tho legislative work this win
ter.
Among thoso who have Keen previous
service lu thu senato may be. mentioned J.
H. ATends, u shrewd German merchant
from Syracuse, re-elected by his constit
uency in Otoo county. His neighbor, W.
II. Nowoll. from Cass county, was also an
active factor lu tho last legislature. They
will welcome back na old associates Hugh
McCargir from Salluo county. C. F. Stoelo
from Jcffct'hou county, Ed N. Allen from
Furnas, E. D. Owens from Dawson und F.
M. f'urrlo from Custer, all of whom wero
familiar llgures in tho Bennto chamber at
Lincoln two years ago.
Plenty of Timber for I'reNlilent.
The competition for tho position of presi
dent of tho bcuuto Is likely to draw out
bovoral of theso second term niembcra nml
In addition to them N. V. Harlan, who will
represent York county and l.as had provleu:i
exporlcnco ns speaker of tho houso ln 1SS3,
nnd ex-Governor Lorcnao Croiiusc, who
comes down from Washington county with
a long career of public Bervlco to commend
him. Another republican who hns been
promoted lu legislative circles Is Peter
llerlct, who was ono of tho representatives
from Nemaha two years ugo.
In point of lcglnlatlvo exporlcnco thu
fuslonlsts nro weak In tho senatn whero
the republicans nro atioiig, Senator Miller
of IlulTalo being tho only ono who succeeds
himself by graco of a fusion constituency.
Tho house, too, will count a largo number
of republican!! who aro hound to keep In
tho forefront of legislation. Going down
tho list, ono will llud that Pawneo coutily
has returned both of Its representatives of
tho last se.islon, Messrs. Wenzel nnd Scott,
whllo Nemaha will again havo .1. W. Arm
strong,, who stood up vigorously for Its In
terests lu tho last legislature. Otoo and
Cass send David Drown, who lervcd lu a
similar capacity jears ugo, nnd tho f.amo
Is trim of P. M. Mullen, tho only rcpubllcnu
member of tho Douglau delegation who has
had previous legislative experience,
I'limlllar I'aees In (he House.
Othor familiar faces which will bo seen
In tho hall of tho hnusa Include Louis
Smithbcrger, n young ntockrulscr nnd
i farmer who ban been endorsed a second
tlmo by Stanton county; J. J. McCarthy, tho
tlery orator from Dlxou county, whoso volco
was heard regularly on nil important ques-
ttnnq fit lltn lnut snculnti A l 1 .ion n
,rir,UK younu Lincoln lawyer; T. E. llibbert,
an old soldier from Gngo, later appointed
ccnailn BUpervlsor for tho Fourth district;
Conrad Ilcisncr, n sturdy old German farmer
from Thayer; Charles Fowler, who repre
sented Flllmoro county In tlio senate last
tlmo: A. L. Saudall of York, M. Urock-rlck
of Clay and Dr. J. E. Hathorno of Red
Willow. Any number of ambltluus speak
ers aro doubtless to bo found In this list
willing to preside over thu dally proceedings
of tho body.
Tho fuslonlsts hao a few houso mem
bers who worn thcro before, most promi
nent among them being Claim Groll, who
bourns to havo a life tenuro of tho Sarpy
county representation; M. W. Muruiy of
Thurston county, Chnrlcs Crockett of Knox,
J. W. Tanner of Nance, John C. Sprcchor
of Colfax, Alexander Doullor nf Saundera
and George W. Fuller of Soward.
Several new entries in both parties prom
ise also to divide legislate o honors with
tho second nnd third-term men,
.Men ullh Disputed Tides.
As to tho talk of excluding Senntor-oloct
Olcson of fuming county on thn ground
of Ineligibility, thoro is llttln likelihood
that objection:! to seating him will bo
pressed, as tho precedents In this statu aro
all In his favor. It also develops that two
of tho fuslonlsts who havo secured cor
tlfkates of election nro subject to similar
objection nn technical grounds ono nf
them beeauso he has never been a bona
lido resident of tlio district rrom winch
ho was ehoson und tho other beeauso as
treasurer of his county ho ia responsible
for money lost in a broken banl; nnd barred
from holding ollk-o In this ttato by tho
constitutional provision disqualifying men
lu default as custodians of public money.
With the composition of tho legislature
(Jrllnltely Ilxed the wirepulling for iho
honors and paironago of tho organization
may bo expected lo commence at once, sub
ordinate only to thn senatorial contest, an I
keep constantly quickening until tho tlm
for meeting In Junuary next.
