'Thekk were plenty of bogus bidders for bonds, but Uncle Sam caught on to the game and spoiled most of the fruits of the petty business.

FOR ten years the imports of sugar from l'orto Rico- have averaged between 80.000,000 and 100,000,000 pounds. Hut when we get the island in good running order wo will beat that figure.

I Beems that we must get ready for another influx of gold from over the sea. And there is a reasonable probability that when it comes this time it will stay, in spite of the remnants of Bryanism hanging out from Democratic platforms

Tin-:

Arena,

which was the oilieial

organ of atheism in religion and free silver in politics, has suspended publication 1 he cause of its failure was lack of support and its retirement leaves that miserable old dotard, John Clark Ridpath, out of a job.

With a 700,000,000 bushel wheat crop, -,000,000,000 corn crop and 11,000,000 bale cotton crop, and all the other products of the earth in like proportion, the 75,000,000 of Uncle Sam's children can lock forward, without misgivings, to at least one more year of pretty fair living.

I.N eight years the production of silver in Colorado has declined fromS2li.000,000 to let* than SI000,000, while the gold product has increased from 85,500,000 to SI'.',570,000. That state may as well drop the claim that silver is the mainspring of the world and the universal regulator of prices.

Tin: Oregon and the Iowa are to be sent around the Horn to San Francisco. The trip was made by the Oregon with such success that the attention of the whole world was attracted, and if Captain Clark pets well and goes on the bridge of his fine ship, there will be a general feeling of security about the result of the cruise.

A. H. Don.LAS, the superintendent of the Logansport schools, is both an ass and a knave. lie is an ass in that he speaks pompously and in a thus-saith-the-Lord manner regarding matters of which he knows nothing he is a knave in that he speaks untruthfully on subjects on which he is bound to be informed. His vicious attacks on nonstate schools will do more to cause the next legislature to shake off the barnacles like Indiana university than a whole volume on the unconstitutionality of the support ^-iven state institutions.

In every particular the financial outlook in the United States is exceedingly bright. The .treasury gold reserve is breaking all records, bank clearings are greater than ever before notwithstanding the tax on checks, which must have a tendency to somewhat diminish the volume of clearings, and the commercial failures are at remark ably iow .figures. August's failures were the fewest of any month for ilve years, and, in proportion to the number of persons engaged in busioes6, they were the fewest on record. The liabilities involved in the failures in August were the smallest known since the monthly reports began. From all parts of the country the business prospects are more favorable than they have been before in many years. The coming winter and spring are likely to show a business development and expansion which will be almost unexampled in extent in the country's history.

Bailey of Texas, rises to say that the next house will be Democratic. We nominate Bailey for speaker, as that is what he hopes for, judging by his sanguine prediction.

Wtishington, Sept. 8.—Secretary Alger is now putting his affairs iu shape to admit of his absence from Washington on a tour of inspection of the army camps throughout the country. He •will leave this evening, going first to Camp Meade, Pa., and thence to Detroit. Now that the active war operations have closed the secretary feels free to express certain views entertained by thu president and himself respecting the plans of the treatment of the soldiers and touching the persons upon whom responsibilities should be placed for some of the matters of complaint. In this connection he says: "Tho regiments that have been ordered mustered out. will be mustered out. Tho regiments that have been designated by the president to remain in the service will liavo to remain. As sotin as we have mustered out- 100,000, more or less, we shall reorganize thi» army—every brigade, division and corps —and put then into comfortable camps until such tliem as are needed are withdrawn from service iu Cuba, Porto Rico and tho Philippines.

camps, with experience of the pa guide us, sanitary conditions will be strictly enforced. The men composing the army will be treated as soldiers. They will be shown every possible consideration and their health will be preserved. "Hie officers commanding regiments and companies will be held strictly accountable for the sanitary conditions of the cumps. They are the ones who should be held responsible. During rhe v, ar many ot these ofiicers disregarded the specilic instructions that had been given looking to the proper care of their men. Now it is time for them to take this work upon themselves, and itli the knowledge that they are to remain iu service they will be expected to devote their best energies to the work. Where men are incompetent to discharge these duties they must give way to competent men, for again I wish to maks it clear that- these company and regimental ofiicers are to he held lo account for the welfare of their men."

secretary gave an earnest assurance of his purpose to carry out strictly the decision lie had announced to hold field ofiicers responsible for the condition of their men as in the case of Private Hugh Parrot I, who was reported to have perished in his tent at Montauk, lacking medical attendance. This was the case to which Representative (irosveuor had directed the attention of the war department. Tile secretary several days ago called upon the commanding ofticer at Oatnp VVikott" (or a report ou the subject and yesterday he sent a peremptory order to-General Shatter to create a court of inquiry to investigate the case, or if the facts warranted it to shorten the proceedings by ordering a courtmartial at once l'or the officer responsible for Patron's lack of attention.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN

To He IISHM'CII OIII Undo Sinn's Service— iiivei'iior» to Seleul iintMits. Washington, Sept. 8.—Late yesterday the following was given out at the war department: .. in response to the request of the governors of some of the states for the muster out of their entire, volunteer force, the president replied, in substance, as follows: '-Answering your telegraphic request for the muster out of your regiments, 1 have already directed that 100,000 of the volunteers shall be mustered out of the service. This is because, in my judgment, that number can be spared. About 100,000 will remain, as the government requires in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines larger army than the regular military establishment affords. The mustered out will be nearly us possible according to the population of the several states. The suggestion to muster out all of the volunteers from your state caunoc, therefore, be entertained. The secretary of war has already inquired of the governors of the several states what regiments, iu their judgment, can with the least iucouvenience remain the service. Their advices will, so far as consistent with the public interests, be complied with."

N SECRET SESSION

Sagasta Succeeds In Having WarDiscussed Behind Closed Doors.

GENERAL WEYLER SPEECH

Declares liui I^oss of tlio Cuhau War Is Charg eHl»!e lo the Government—Count I'A 1 menus Say« Suslift* of Some Generals Ought lo ISo Tut Around Their

Madrid. Sept. S.—The chamber has followed the senate in discussing-the late war behind closod doors. This action has caused the greatest sensation.

Immediately after the meeting Senor Salmeron, the Republican leader, moved that an investigation bo made into the responsibility of Senor Sagasta's government iu connection with the declaration of war, the negotiations for peace and the violation of the constitution by the suspension of the guarantees.

The premier, Senor Sagasta, quickly asked that the deliberations bo conducted behind closed doors and the president pronounced favorably on the request. Thereupon tlio Republicans aud Conservatives vehemently protested aud, amid an indescribable confusion, the doorkeepers cleared the galleries of spectators, the deputies in the meantime shouting uproariously.

The somite session also was a stormy one. General Weyler reminded tho senate of how Count D'Al:vn:is had greeted the returning soklievs, ignoring the officers. He declared his was a reflection upon the oili'cet ency. "Tho mistakes made in Cuba rv not to be blamed upon the army," i.e said, "but upon the politicians at the head of the government."

The lat'.er, he declared, wore responsible l'or not sondirg supplies to the armies in Cuba and Porto Rico and, indeed, for completely abandoning them. "The ministers of war and marine ought to have resigned. Had the army been properly equipped," he continued, "it would not have failed. It would have been better for Admiral Cervera's squadron to remain at the Canaries, for no practical end was served by sending tiie ships to Santiago." What measures did the government take to protect the squadron? General Weyler asked, hotly. The responsibilities for the surrender of Santiago rested wholly upon tho government instead of General Toral.

General Weyler strongly eondemneo the secret sessions of the eortes and concluded his speech as follows: "J desire to speak to all Spain and not merely io tho government."

Count- D'Almenas, replying to General Weyler's stricture said: "I addressed Mi}' greetings to those who have neei martyrs for their country—to Spanish soldiers becau.-e they deserved such greetings. 1 did not- address the generals, for they showed themselves incapable of leading soldiers to battle or oi showing them how to fall worthily on on the field."

Marshal Prinio do Rivera shout oil: "That is not true," aud General -Weyler and others joined in the protest.

Count D'Almenas, addressing General Rivera, replied: "I am not afraid ol such cries, or of epaulets, or of the decorations that will have, to be torn otf the breasts of several ofiicers. The sashes of some generals should be torn off a no put around their necks." Agrcat uproarjensaed.

A resolution signed by all the republican deputies was submitted to the chamber declaring tlio government, responsible, first, for lack of the neoessar energy in prosecuting the war second', for accepting a shameful peace, and thirdly for violating the constitution.

THE COMAL RE1URNS.

Having Tailed to Laml Ilor One Million Kilt ions for I nsiiru*tit.. Havana, Sept. 8.—The United Stales transport Comal, laden with a cargo ol something more than 1,000,000 rations, the gift of the United States government to the people of Cuba, has returned to Port Tampa, having-failed to land her supplies.

Business is at a standstill. The mail from abnad which had accumulated since April, has arrived and in it are orders for the shipment of cigars to Loudon amounting to millions iu value. It is impossible to fill these orders, as not only are tho factories working very little owing to the scarcity and high price of tho leaf, but it is impossible to sell exchange. There are no buyers at any price. Sterling is quoted nomiualiv at 13 per cent prgtnium. seven points lower than the average for the last 10 years. This general paralysis is due to the doubt felt as to the iuture and the arrival of the United States military commissioners are eagerly awaited.

General Maximo Gomez, under date of Aug. ~'i, lias addrossed a letter to T. Estrada I'alina of New York, a copy of which arrived hereon the Maseolte. Its salient points are embraced in three propositions: 1. Geiu-ral Gomez's annoyance at hearing rumors of peaco negotiations between Spain and the United States without being himself officially notified. 2. General Gomez's horror of war and his desire to hear Cubans spoken of only as republicans, men of worth and virtue. 3. General Gomez's declaration that, having been first in war, he now proposes to be first to assist iu the consolidation aud consummation of peaco.

General Gtimez further says that the Americans have been "quiet cold and dry" with him, but they are the benefactors of Cuba, adding that both tht United States aud himself are "strangers and foreigners in this land."

Cincinnati, Sept. 8.—The great annual pageant of the Grand Army was tho event yesterday.

The parade occurred under the brightest, blue sky and with everything in its favor, it surpassed all expectations. The boys iu blue are becoming gray, but they still enjoy marching along. They wore frequently,heard yelling out to each other aud did not hesitate to break ranks for greetings. Some men met during the parade who had not, met since they were musteredout, ISO years ago.

There were many confederates here who were with General Kir by Smith when he marched over the Kentucky hills within sight of this city. At that time the Queen City of the West was as badly alarmed as Santiago during tho recent campaign.
