CUBAN ANNEXATION NOT A PARTY ISSUE (Detroit Tribune.) Mr. Carmack, Tennessee's new senator, who is looked upon in Washington as a coming national leader of his party, is quoted as saying that the democrats of the south will make a tight for the annexation of Cuba, and that republicans will oppose it because they cannot ignore the claims of the sugar and tobacco trusts. This may be Mr. Carmack 's view of the case, and it may be that some other Southern . senators agree with his opinion that, disregarding the Louisiana sugar planters, the interests of the south would be served by annexation. But the gentleman from Tennessee is very far from a thorough understanding of the situation, if he imagines that anything like a solid . south can be brought to the support of the proposition. Moreover, he is mistaken if he thinks annexation is likely to become a party question. He is unquestionably right in his conclusion that the sugar and tobacco interests will oppose anything that would bring Cuba's products into this country duty-free, but he fails to take into account the geographical extent of the sugar industry in this country, and he also overlooks some other matters that will have a determining influence on representatives and senators from various states. The beet sugar men, or most of them at least, are firmly convinced that annexation would be detrimental, if not fatal, to their interests, and the members of Congress from the beet sugar districts

are sure to oppose it. But the American tobacco growers are, though not logically, in the same position. Louisiana's cane sugar interests are certain to be bitterly opposed to the removal of tariff barriers. Florida's tobacco and tropical fruit interests must necessarily occupy the same position. Senator Baily, of Texas, has declared that either one of two reasons would be sufficient to make him unalterably opposed to annexation. His first reason is that the country already has race problems enough, without inviting more, and his second is that annexation would mean increased and avoidable competition for the sugar and fruit growers of the south. Kentucky, Virginia, the Carolinas and other states where the tobacco crop is an important product, are not likely to form part of that south which, in Mr. Carmack 's view, is to demand annexation. On the other hand those northern states which are consumers and not producers of either sugar or tobacco, are more than likely to demand with some eagerness, any action which promises to abolish the tariffs, and are quite capable of exerting such pressure as would compel their republican representatives to accept the Carmack view of the desirability of annexation. It is tolerably clear, that Mr. Carmack does not speak for a solid south, and it i equally clear that the republican party, having some beet sugar states, some tobacco states and several in which neither is an important industry, can hardly be held together on such an issue. In short, it is impassible to believe that the annexation of Cuba, which, except for race feeling, presents none but economic problems, can become either a party or a sectional issue. MONEY ORDERS Additional Proofs of Prosperity-In-teresting Facts. Among the best evidences that prosperous conditions prevail in this country is the growth of money order business in the post office department of the government. It is very largely a measure of the small transactions between separated communities and the foreign business represents chiefly savings sent to the old country by wage-earning immigrants. The money orders issued during the fiscal years ending June 30 in 1900 and 1901, respectively, given in numbers and amount, are reported as follows: Number Domestic, 1901...35,586,379 1900 32,060,983 238,921,009 67 Increase 3,525,396 35,625,057 67 Foreign, 1901 20,072,613 65 16,749,018 31 1.102,067 Increase 145,821 3,323,595 34 Aggregate increase...3,671,217 1900 $38.948.653 01 30,711,664 77 20.364.472 31 16,522,8.4 63 A comparison of the above figures, which are taken from a late report placed in our hands by Postmaster Yockey, shows the rapid march of prosperity during the "four fat years" following the "lean years" of democratic misrule. Other interesting particulars are gleaned from the report as follows: The fees received for money orders in the year ending June 30, 1901, amounted to $2,394,451.65, being an increase over the prior year of $269,683.07. During the same year the war tax collected on these orders amounted to $705,199.48, and for the three years during which the tax has been in force, $1,931,140.86. all of which was turned over to to the treasury department without one cent of expense. There are 30,529 domestic money order offices and 4,132 foreign.

The department losses for improper

payments of money orders have been only $172.45 in the past two years and the losses from fire, robbery and other casualties have been $13,724.44; a remarkable record, considering the amount handled, over five hundred million dollars. The average amount of each domestic order issued was $7.77; and of each foreign order, $16.04. It requires 400 office employes at Washington to handle the work of the money order division of the post office department. FARMERS' INSTITUTES SHOULD BE EXTENDED (Notes by the Way-Warsaw union.) The greater portion of the farmers throughout this county are more or less thoroughly acquainted with the work of the farmers' institutes as they have been conducted during the past ten years. Each year a very successful institute has been held in this city and these meetings have been instrumental in promoting the welfare of agriculture in our county. At first a large portion of the farming population, here as elsewhere, regarded the institutes as merely an expertment and were more or less skeptical as to their benefits. But time has fully demonstrated their value, as those who have attended them regularily will verify. Each year more individuals have learned to appreciate their worth and for a number of years past it has been impossible to have a room that would accommodate all who desired to attend. Not only so but those in attendance have been more deeply interested in the questions discussed there than they were at first. For a long time it has been realized that as more farmers become interested in the work it would become necessary to hold institutes elsewhere than at the county seat, where most of the institutes are held in about every county. In some counties the plan has been adopted of moving the institutes around from year to year. But even this has not proved satisfactory in every case and there has come a demand for more institutes than one a year in each county. Since the appropriation has been increased arrangements are being made for this. Most of the: counties, at least, will have two or more institutes the coming winter. And this arrangement will doubtless prove much more satisfactory than the holding of only one as it will accommodate a great many more farmers than to hold only one.

A BIG FIRE

Two Hundred Persons Rendered Homeless in Chicago. An Entire Square Destroyed in Closelybuilt Part of City - Panic-stricken Residents Run Screaming Through Smoke and Flames - Many Narrow Escapes. Chicago, Oct. 31. Two hundred persons homeless, nineteen buildings worth, with their contents, $100,000 destroyed, panic and confusion is the record of a fire that swept the district bounded by Milwaukee avenue, Union street, Kinzie street and Austin avenue last night. The terror that siezed the people, mostly of the laboring class, who lived in the neighborhood, was something akin to a stampede. Up and down the streets bareheaded men, women and children ran crying as if mad. Others hurled articles of furniture from windows, and half crazed by fear, many fainted on the walks. There were many narrow escapes from death and several persons were injured. Two unknown infants, left by their ter-ror-stricken mothers in a barber shop at 148 Milwaukee avenue, were saved from death in the flames by two boys, Joe Bertuccio and Rocco Pitter. Mrs. F. Z. Johnson, 29 years old, was carried unconscious from an upper room in the home of Henry McBride. at 121 North Union street. She was an invalid and had been overcome by smoke She was carried out by her husband. Both were severely burned. Several women and children were trampled in the crush on the streets when the people sought places of safety for themselves and their belongings. The worst injured of these was Mrs. Ella Eickenstock, 40 years old, of 529 Austin avenue. She was taken to the county hospital. Bucket and salvage brigades worked desperately. Every sort of vehicle was pressed into service to remove the household goods to places of safety. The panic spread for blocks and was only checked when the fire had been brought under control. The fire, which was started at 5:20 o'clock by an explosion in the building of Leonard Peterson & Co., 126-130 North Union street, spread with fearful rapidity. From this building the flames leaped to neighboring frame houses and many buildings were ablaze almost before the occupants knew of the danger. A number sought shelter in the warehouse of the Pabst Brewing company across the railroads on Kinzie street and from that point watched the destruction of their homes. Others fled north and crowded into Steuben's grocery store at Grand avenue and Union street. On Kinzie street for half a block on either side of Union furniture was piled on the sidewalk and houses were deserted, and it was long after the fire was under control before the frightened inhabitants began to carry their household goods in again. For five hours the fire raged before it was finally subdued. Thousands of persons were attracted to the scene and packed the streets in the vicinity, watching the blaze. The street car service to the Northwest Side was stopped by the fire apparatus for three hours before the lines of hose were elevated and the cable trains and trolley cars were allowed to proceed. The dangerous character of the fire was recognized at once by the firemen, and every available piece of apparatus on the North and West Sides was pressed into service. ANGRY MOB Colored Victim of Lynchers Crazes Them by Attempting to Escape-Is Shot, Caught and Strung up. HODGENVILLE, Ky., Nov. 1.A mob of fifty or seventy-five determined citizens came down upon this little town yesterday and took from the jail Silas Esters, a negro, charged with forcing Granville Ward, a 15-year-old boy living near Upton, to com-

mit a crime, and strung him to the courthouse steps. So quietly and systematically did the mob go about its work that the citizens of the town were in igno ranee of the existence of a mob until the negro was in its clutches. The citizens composing the lynching party approached the jail, and, upon their demand, the keys were surrendered to them. The cell in which the negro was confined was entered and the noose was adjusted about his neck. . He was dragged down the jail stairs and out into the street. He managed to slip the noose from his neck and made a break "for liberty. The mob, crazed with anger, made after the negro, howling and firing at him with guns and pistols. The negro fell when about 100 yards from the jail, a number of shots having taken effect. The noose was again placed about his neck, and he was dragged to the courthouse and swung to the topmost steps. The mob was formed in the neighborhood of the crime. When the work of lynching the negro had been accomplished the members of the mob quietly dis persed and went to their homes. CULVER AT BEN HUR

Cadets Invade Chicago and get a Good Supper at a Big Hotel. Chicago, Nov. 2. Two hundred and twenty-five officers and cadets from the military academy at Culver. Ind., arrived here over the Panhandle in a special train yesterday afternoon, where they met Governor Durbin and escorted him to the Auditorium Hotel. A dinner was given to the governor and Mrs. Durbin at the hotel last evening by Colonel Fleet, commander, after which they attended the performance of "Ben Hur" at the Illinois Theater. Immediately on reaching Chicago the battalion, preceded by its band of twenty pieces, was marched to the Auditorium Hotel wherein a special dining hall 301 covers were laid for the cadets and their guests and a menu replete with toothsome viands had been prepared for the delectation of the young soldiers. Governor and Mrs. Durbin. occupied a box at the theater as guests of the superintendent and cadets. As a souvenir of the cadets' visit Manager Davis, of the Illinois, had the program of the play with special covers in Culver colors and containing photographic views of the cadets at drill. WAR CLAIMS Indiana May Recover a Large Sum Due Since Civil War. Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars Owing by the Government is the Glittering Prize Attorney-General Taylor Will Fight For. Washington, October 31.There is some prospect that, after all, the state of Indiana may be able to collect the claim of $700,000 against the government on account of expenses incurred during the civil war. The action of the United States court of claims, this week, in rendering judgment in favor of several states with claims simiilar to that of Indiana, has opened the way for a renewal of the effort to collect the money due Indiana. By the decision of the court of claims, just announced, Pennsyl vania gets $1,000,000, and other states will receive smaller amounts. Attorney-General Taylor, of Indiana, happened to be visiting the court of claims when the decision was announced, and immediately took up the prosecution of the Indiana claim, where it had been dropped some time ago. During the term of Governor Matthews, Indiana received back most of the principal of the debt, and so the claim now outstanding represents largely interest which the state paid on money it borrowed for war use during the rebellion. The treasury department has consistently held for years that

the claim was not collectible, because the government does not pay interest. Comptroller Tracewell, though an Indiana man, took the same view as his predecessors in office. The state of New York, with a claim identical to that of Indiana, carried the question through the court of claims to the supreme court, which held that such claims could be collected. AttorneyGeneral Taylor finds that the obstacle to bringing suit in the court of claims at once is the fact that the collection of the claim is barred by the statute of limitation. The one course left is to ask congress for permission to bring the claim before the court, and this, Mr. Taylor says, will be done at the coming session. Today the attorney general obtained all the data from the departments necessary to the preparation of a bill, and as soon as he gets home he will take up the subject with the two senators and some of the congressmen. He feels confident that there is now an open way for the collection of the money, although it may be several years before the cash will be in the Indiana treasury. At the last session a bill making good about $400,000 of the debt passed the senate.

C, Nov. 4In his proclamation fixing Nov. 28 as Thanksgiving Day, President Roosevelt says: "This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of our great and good president. We mourn President McKinley because we so loved and honored him; and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people a keen anxiety for the country, and at the same time a resolute purpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, orderly, popular liberty, which as a nation, we have thus far safely trod. "Yet, in spite of this great disaster, it is nevertheless true that no people on earth have such abundant cause for thanksgiving as we have. The past year in particular has been one of peace and plenty. We have prospered in things material and have been able to work for our own upbuilding, intellectual and spiritual. Let us remember that, as much has been given us that much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips and shows itself in deeds. We can best prove our thankfulness to the Almighty by the way in which on this earth and at this time each of us does his duty to his fellowmen." DURBIN IN A WRECK En Route to Chicago to Join Culver Cadets His Coach Capsizes. MICHIGAN CITY, IND , NOV. 2The fast Monon train for Chicago was wrecked at Cedar Lake yesterday morning, and a number of passengers had a narrow escape. The train was under fair headway when a rail spread, and one of the rear sleepers left the track and turned over. Governor Durbin and W. H. Hart, auditor of state, were in the rear sleeper, which careened and finally settled down partially on one side. Mr. Hart was slightly bruised about the shoulders, but Governor Durbin was unin jured. Governor Durbin and Auditor Hart were on their way to this city, to be present at a meeting of the board of control of the prison yesterday afternoon. They arrived here from Chicago yesterday morning none the worse for their experience. Fresh from the wreck GovernV or Durbin attended Ben Hur with the Culver cadets Friday night, as had been arranged.

CEBU QUIET

Natives Demand Peace and Force Insurrectos to Surrender. Numerous Small Engagements in Samar A Detachment of the Fighting Nintn Repels Attack of Overwhelming Force and Displays Great Cour-age-Plans for Troops in Philippines. Washington, D. C, Nov. 1 An important cablegram was received at the war department yesterday afternoon from General Chaffee. It follows, in part: "MANILA, Oct. 31.-Adjutant General, Washington: The following has been received from Brigadier General Hughes: 'Insurrecto forces m Cebu island have come in and laid down their arms in good faith, in obedience to demand of people for peace; 150 rifles, 8 brass pieces, 60 officers, 470 men. Affairs are not yet satisfactory in Bohol island; may move additional troops there to force settlement.' "This settles, for the present, at least, the disturbance hereto fore existing in Cebu. Furture disorder in that island will be made by the deliberate action of the inhabitants, as peace may be easily preserved if the people are disposed to do so. Shall advise Hughes to waste no time, but move on Bohol immediately. CHAFFEE." Reports have been received of numerous small engagements between the Americans and rebels on the islands of Samar and Leyte, and also on Mindoro, where the United States troops have secured two American prisoner and destroyed the insurgents' main depot of supplies. Advices just received from Catbalogan, Island of Samar, say that twelve men of company G of the Ninth infantry, under command of Sergeant Willford, who had been sent from Basey to San Antonio to investigate and report in regard to the number of bolomen in the vicinity, were violently attacked by 140 insurgents, who rushed on them with great violence, killing two of the soldiers and wounding two others. Willford remained cool and collected during the attack and the survivors say he acted splendidly. Fourteen of the insurgents were killed. General Miles has recommended that the Eleventh cavalry and the Twenty-Eight infantry be sent to the Philippines. Two regiments are al! that the secretary desires to order to the Philippines at present. These regiments are to take the place of regiments in the Philippines to be brought home which have been serving there three years or more and the terms of enlistment of the men about to expire. The order will not interfere with the department's plans for reducing the army in the Philippines. The regiments which are to be returned as soon as the transports are ready are the Fourth, Seventeenth, Twentieth, and Twenty-Second infantry. These regiments have been longest in the islands.
