MB. WATTERSON'S OECLAKATIOIS TO THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.

(re Will Hoi Laager Attempt to Lead Them *tor Thurston's Opinion—What Dr. Parkbwrst Says. •. ,*c

•t 1" j.

Louusvllic/Kfo. 4.—Thfr victory of the free ellverites at the polls in the state of Kentucky has. resulted in Henry Watterson's withdrawal from party ..leadership. Democracy's veteral whed-hdt^tJisolaims responsibility lor the futtijS'actions "of his party in this editorial, wjitten by .himself, Which appears in the CourieB*Joiirael this morning. It says: "The Courier-Journal has little to add to what it has alrejulx said by anticipation touching the Democfttt.rcsituatlon in Kentucky, brought ihtjiT'trelBg By the vote of Tuesday last. Thatr-vote-..confirms the position of the convention, that nominated Mr. Shackelford for clefrk *bf' the Court of Appeals and repud^aics. the position of the vention which nofljjtiated Mr» Hindman. -It hxe's the relatiofi or the Democratic organization in Kentucky to "the national organization of the Dempc^tic party, at least through the next state and national elections. It ifi so decisive In character as to leave nothing in conjecture, and the Courier- Journal has neither'a6,r,, ^he purpose to challenge it. "The issue as it 'was made, and has been fought out, was clear and explicit. No effort was wanting to, maintain it. Nobody could by any possibility, be mistaken about it. We may regret the verdict against us, but we accept it. We shall make no further effort-to direct the party course or councils, or to share in any of the responsibilities of the party leadership, having done our best, according to our conscience and belief, to divert our political associates from a policy and procedure, the end of which no man can now foresee, the results of which we very mucly fear, "both as to the welfare of the country and the party. But we are Democrats! not Republicans, and nailing our flag to the masthead of honest money, free trade and home rule, we shall in the character of a private.soldier in the ranks contribute whatever we are able to the ascertainment and the vindication of truth. "For the gentlemen who have by their victory confirmed their leadership, we entertain not the least ill will. All the honors belonging to that leadership be theirs and, let us add, all the responsibilities. If they oontinue to win victories, they will approve their commissions. If they lose them, they, in turn, will have to pay the penalties of defeat. Where we can, we shall support them, we shall enter no fractious opposition to them. We go political annihilation with perfect composure—without a single resentment or regret—having fought out to the bitter end a profound conviction in perfect fairness and good faith. "There are many suggestions which the vote of Tuesday summons to the minds of thoughtful people notably the results of

Maryland, Greater New York and the city of Louisville, incident to the elimination of strife and the union of party forces, and as the smoke of battle clears away wise men may perhaps find it salutary to take this into consideration. But for the present we shill leave the moral of the conflict now ended to impress itself in its own way upon thei masses of the people. As we said in the beginning, and have said during the progress .of" me battle/ -We^t-epeat 'how:'' From none of the consetfireiifc^'6f the fight we have made for what we believed just "policies aftd sound ideas,' have we the least disposition to' shrink. Had we the whole thing to do over we should not veer a hair's line f$om the course we have pursued, and reviewing fhe record, we recollect no word or act which we would recall. What the rest can stand we can stand. With charity for all, with malice toward none, we shall continue to do business at the old stand precisely as if nothing whatever had happened relieved to be rid'of'all responsibility in party af-fairs,-glad to" go/to the rear of the column quite assured of our ability at all times and under ajl circumstances to hold our own with friend or foe, and certainly indifferent whether, the case in point be a fight cr a foot-race."

DR. j?ARKHURST'S VIEWS.

Talks About the Political Regeneration of "New "iyork City.

New York, Nov." "4—A dispatch to the World from-Paris says: The Rev. Charles H, Parkhurst gave out the' following statement in regard to the Democratic victory 'n New York ciLy: "If New York has not moral genius enough to keep out of Tammany's clutches, after It has been once rescued from them, may Ihe Lord have mercy on New York. Republican votes" Mve restored Tammany to power, arid upon the men who cast them will" devolve the'responsibility for the jobbery and'Vandalism of the next four years and don't let us forget it. "New York will not become a respectable city "till Us clergy are possessed of the spirit of the old prophets, as to be prepared to put government pressure upon secular events till the press,becomes so distinctly and unwaveringly the exponent of unmarketable truth as to command.the confidence of the reading public till reputable citizens are sufficiently wedded to righteousness to be willing to saqriflce political fetishes to ihq Interests of general decency and integrity."

SENATOR tjHURSTON'S OPINION.

He Thinks Mr. BryAn Will Not be Nominfttetf in 1900.' Chicago. Nov. 4.—Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska,,..arrived in this city last night from his. ijecent campaigning trip throughout his- state. .He said the election results there was no- disappointment to him, !n view of the handicap which the Republicans labored, under because of their defaulting stato treasurer and auditor as well as the prejudice aroused against the ticket as representing »tbe old state, capitol crowd. He was of the opinion that the general result, especially in New York, instead of foreshadowing Bryan's nomination in 1900, and a free silver platform, pointed in quite a different direction/ *'I think the result in New York," he »aid, "points to that state likely to name the presidential Candidate for the Democratic party in 1900, As "well as to the probability that silver wilt Tittt he an issue. Certainly the Democrats can-not hope to succeed withut New York, and oil the silver issue I am Irmly of the opinion the "State would praelically repeat Its verdict of 1896 jgainst it."

CAPTAIN LOVERING'S TRIAL.

The President Has Ordered a Court Martial in the Hammond Case. Washington, Nov. 4.—The president has ordered a court martial to try Captain Lovering. The court will meet at 11 clock, November 22d, at Fort Sheridan.

The charges against Captain Lovenus wc "Conduct prejudicial to the good conduct and military discipline of the army." The specifications include the acts of Captain Lovering in the case of Private Hammond.

Mr. Chambers KeprlmamlertWashington, Nov. 4.—Past Assistant Engineer W. H. Chambers, U. S. N., was recently tried by court martial at Mare island on a charge of absence from duty without leave and of scandalous conduct (meaning alcoholism.) He pleaded guilty on both charges, but showed an excellent record and good character in other respects, so that the court contented itself with sentencing him to be publicly reprimanded by the secretary of the navy. The secretary has just, approved the proceedings and findings of the court, but has disapproved the sentence as inadequate, and has made a few pertinent remarks in his indorsement, which, nevertheless, frees the officer from the operation, of the sentence.

At the College of Wit.

"The rules for the manufacture of humor," said the professor, "arevery simple —that is, of course, some kinds of humor. Ordinary comic paper humor may be made by taking a pl&in statement of fact or a plain statement of something that isn't fact—in fact, any old statement—and misspelling it. It's the simplest thing in the world. If you refer to the man In the moon and spell it that way, it is just plain, ordinary, dull prose, but if you make it read 'the mann in the mune' Lfc is nothing less than bright, scintillating wit."

Shortly thereafter the professor was promoted to the department of magazine humor, where nothing but age counts.—Chicago Post.

Uarometric Pressure.

Tho barometric pressure decreases as we ascend at the rate of about an inch for every 1,000 feet of elevation. At a height of 16,000 feet the rate of decrease is about an inch for every 1,500 feet of elevation, and the proportion of decrease becomes greater at greater heights. At a height of 18,000 feet the pressure is about onie-half of what it is at the sea level—that is to say, the air at that elevation is only one-half as heavy as it is at the sea level.—Philadelphia Times.

Frank Agramonte is the son of Prof. Emilio Agramonte of this city. His lanmy is one of means, so that the burden of his imprisonment has been lightened through their efforts. Sainz is an orphan, and Dr. Hyatt has provided him with food and comforts out of the $50,000 fund appropriated by congress for the relief of Americans in Cuba.

The young men" (both are* ah out twentyfour years old) sailed with Maceo. The party was Intercepted near BaracOa. In- the skirmish ten soldiers and a Spahlsh'^ffi'der were killed. Agramonte and Saint w6rt]Be$arated from their companions, affd fled.-to tho woods. They were captured a ffew days after the engagement. Owing to the death of the officer, the affair assumed a serious aspect. The boys asked help from Dr. Hyatt. Their youth appealed to hiip, and he saved them from being shot. They were imprisoned in Castle Moro.

For two years and a half they hdVe been inmates of the prison. They did not suffer all of the hardships incidental to feonHnement in Spanish jails. Throughout the period of incarceration the authorities were kind to them. The governor oCtbf prison allowed any article that bore Dr. 1'Hyatt's stamp to he given to them. This .was unusual. Of course the consul assumed the responsibility of their not attempting, to escape or taking contraband articles. is

When General Weyler visited j§ahtiago Dr. Hyatt made a personal appeal jo him for the young men. On his return, yisit to tho American consul General, ,Weyler brought up the subject. Just before, ^Veyler left the island for Spain Dr. Hyatt .wote.to him, recalling his promise to release them. Dr. Hyatt then returned to America, Now comes the news that the release of the men was among the last acts of the goyernor general... j-

GEN. WEYLER'S LAST SPEECH.

An Explanation of It Demanded By the Spanish Cabinet. Madrid, Nov. 4.—At the meeting of the Spanish cabinet yesterday It jeaa decided to demand an explanation from General Weyler of the'remarks he made ih his1 farewell address on leaving Havana on Sunday last. Previous to embarking on boafS ftfe steamer Montserat4,1 which conveyed him to Spain, General Weyler received a Reputation of Autonomists and in his address th them h? said in part: "My release from my post and responsibilities did not surprise me. I^haij:'expected it from the death of Senor CanoVas, not believing that any political leader would be strong enough to sustain me when the United Stated and the rebels were together constantly demanding that Spain should come to settlement. I count it afi-honor to have been identified with the loci! Spanish party. But the policy which I hav% followed was not adopted in obedience to any political party, but for what lfreprosented on behalf ot my country. Before I came I was well aware of the patriotic conduct of the volunteers and, since my arrival, I have often seen It illustrated. I have repeatedly advised the Spanish party not to he intimidated. but to make known to the home government the outcome of the reforms which have been puC in force. As for the future,

The Audibility of Thunder. In connection with fehe proposal to establish a number of government stations {or reporting the phenomena of thunderstorms it is stated that while lightning may be seen and its illumination of cloudsand mist may be recognized when it it even 200 miles distant, thunder is rarely audible ten miles. The thunder from very distant storms therefore seldom' reaches the ear. Hence, if every thunderstorm has to bo recorded, a large number of stations will be needed probably one for every 86 square miles would not. be too riany. A few stations would suffice, at least for the nighttime, for the reporting of the direction and movement of every case of distant lightning.

The reason of the great uncertainty In the audibility of thunder 1b not hard to understand. It depends not merely on tha initial intensity of the crash, but quite as much on the surroundings of the observer, even as in the quiet country one will observe feeble sounds that escape the ear in a noisy city. Perhaps the most curious and important condition ot audibility is that the thunder wave of sound shall not be refracted or reflected by the layers of warm and cold air between the observer and the lightning or by the layers of wind, swift above and slow below, so as to entirely pass over or around the observer. Sound, in its wavelike progress obliquely through layers of air of different densities, is subject to refraction, and this refraction may occur at any time and place. Thus, observers at the topmast of a ship frequontly hear fog whistles that are Inaudible at sea levels those on hilltops hear thunder that cannot be heard in the valley those in front of an obstacle hear sounds inaudible to those behind it.

The rolling of thunder, like that of a distant cannonade, may bo largely due to special reflections and refractions of sound. Again, the greater velocity of the nir«frt considerable altitudes above the ground distorts the sound wave and shortens the limit of audibility to the leeward, whlls increasing it to the windward.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Toward spring the minister anndtlSoed his engagement to the prettiest girl in the parish and it wasn't long before he t&ok up his abode in his own house. The spin sters, unlike Calypso, were not inconagl able at his departure. They really seemed to revive after ho had gone, while their at tendance at'church became more regular. Somebody one day diplomatically asked them if thfy didn't miss the minister. "Well, yes," said the elder spinster, "we do. but I tell you what—it's a great relief to be able to go to church and not know just exactly what the sermon'a going to be.

He demanded satisfaction, but the man who had lost on Bessie Bialand was oautiqus. He said he would go in for a quarter a corner. The victim who had been hauled in from the street was invited Into the game.

He put in his quarter and when the box! came to him he said: "Gentlemen, I want to show you a little trick with this box. You see that on my first shake I have two sixes. The aoe is always on the other end from the six, so I put in the three remaining dice, with the ace spot on eaoh against the side of the box, and they slide down without changing position.

An Appiitd Epigram*

The diplomat was talking to a woman in Washington, and, oon»?»ry ta the usual osder of procedure in such cases, the young woman was not giving her most reverent and soulful attention to the re« marks of the gentleman whom all Washington women delight to honor. It i. true she was hearing what he was saying^ but a very remarkable specimen of th# Washington £ude was engaging a great dqal of her attention. He was posing oa the other slide of the room, and there wa* about him such an air of blase hasten? and such ah astonishing Mfelatlon of clothes that to save her she could not help looking at him as the diplomat talked. "Tilleyrifld'once remarked," the diplo*. mat was saying, to illustrate a profound point in diplomacy he was seeking to bring out,

Too Much Sermon.

The now minister just called to rural parish was a young man of exemplary character and pleasing personality. There wns much contention among the various families under his charge as to which should have the privilege of "boarding him." The honor it was at length decided should fall to a couple of spinsters old enough to be the young man's mother and devoted to the church and its interests. The minister was duly installed under their roof and for several weeks the countenances of the splnters reflected the delight they felt at their good fortune. Then there came a change. Either the delight was less cr the spinsters showed it less. What was more, they became irrcg ular in their attendance at church.
