Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 5.—A dispatch
from Key West states that the Dauntless
has successfully landed its expedition in
Cuba. The expedition, it is said, is the one
that the Three Friends attempted to land
when pursued by the Spanish gunboat,
and left it on No Name key, from which
place it was taken last Friday by the
Dauntless. The cargo, it is said, consisted
of 400,000 cartridges and 1040 rifles, some
dynamite, one 12 pound rapid firing
Hotchkiss gun, medicine, etc. Fifty men
also were carried to Cuba by the vessel.

7. -“The United States of Europe” was
the prophecy of all ardent democrats from
Victor Hugo to Carlo Cattaneo, and its ful-
fillment was to take place immediately
after the downfall of the Napoleonic em-
pire. It is 25 years now since that event-
ful moment, but the states of Europe are,
if anything, more disunited and more ag-
gressive than ever.
Perhaps the ancients, who knew a thing
or two, were right in saying that the future
is on the lap of the gods.

closet of the Allegheny gymnasium. The
president of the bank says his accounts
are straight, the auditing committee hav-
ing just completed the audit for the past
year. Schauer has not been in good health
for a year and was very morose. It is
thought this was the cause of the suicide.

never in its history has. the United States

period from April 1 to December 1 last

missioner Brice directly to the president
shows that not only has the ordinary
work been steadily pursued on an en-
larged scale, but the field has been very
much broadened, especially in the direc-
tion of propagating fish not before the
subject of extensive cultivation and all
of these attempts have been followed by
marked success.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 5.—There is no

committee, intends to visit Cuba.
TODAY’S MARKET.
Liverpool showed a decline in spots to-
day equal to the advance of yesterday.
Spots on this side were somewhat easier,
there being a slight reduction in prices at
several points.
The range of prices in futures in New
York and New Orleans was narrow, 6.
points embracing the fluctuations in New
York, and New Orleans being in about
the same position.
The receipts at the ports aro steadily
decreasing. The bulls say the conditions
are all in favor of higher prices, but there
does not seem to be much steam behind
their assertions. The five 'million mark
was passed today In the port receipts, an
increase of 1,423,392 bales over this day
last year.

Opposition to a Tariff by Cattlemen with
Mexican Interests.
Washington, D. C„ Jan. 5.—A large dele-
gation of gentlemen from the west ap-
peared before the ways and means com-
mittee today, the schedule being agricul-
tural products and cattle.
The first speaker was F. N. Rockwell of
Warren, Pa. Mr. Rockwell is a cattle
raiser, grazing in both Mexico and Kan-
sas, and is opposed to the high duties. The
McKinley rate on cattle, he said, was pro-
hibitive, and had injured the farmers of
Kansas, who were benefited by interna-
tional grazing. Herds were taken to Kan-
sas for periods of six to eighteen months.
Last year Kansas farmers were paid $22,-
000 for grain by cattle men, and this year
the amount would be $40,000, in addition to
which much was paid for labor.
Another cattleman, M. M. Sherman of
Salina, Kan., represented that two-thirds
of the cattle imported from Mexico into
the United States were owned by Ameri-
cans. He thought high duties on cattle
had been decided upon by congress to keep
out Canadian competition, without a
thought of Mexican business. He argued,
as Mr. Rockwell had, that the chief ef-
fect of the law was to injure Americans
who had invested in Mexico.
“Then, you think, the tariff should be
governed by the nationality of the pro-
ducers of goods?” Mr. Grosvenor asked.
Mr. Sherman assented to this, whereupqffi
Mr. Grosvenor inquired what effect the
system would have on imported goods in
other lines.
Incidentally the witness stated that
American labor was the cheapest in the
world, which statement provoked a laugh
until he explained that in the cattle busi-
ness one American would do the work of
two Mexicans. Asked why he removed
to Mexico, Mr. Sherman said because of
lack of ranges here.
Chairman Dingley said there were plenty
of ranges in Colorado, Wyoming and other
western states.
It was impossible to acquire title to
ranges in this country, was the answer, and
moreover, said the witness, American laws
gave a man’s competitors advantage of
all improvements he introduced into his
business. In Mexico cattle men owned
their ranges.
Mr. Tawney questioned him as to why
importations from Mexico had increased
from 1000 a month under the McKinley law
to 14,000 under -the Wilson law. He replied
that this was largely due to the congestion
in the market, but for various reasons
Mexico never could become a competitor
of the United States.
The next speaker was Representative
Curtis of Kansas. He said he represented
a state in which more Mexican cat-
tle were fed than any other in the United
States, and in behalf of American cattle
raisers, feeders and farmers of Kansas,
he asked to have restored the duty of $10
a head on all cattle one year old and over,
and $2 a head on calves less than one
year old. In the first 21 months of the Wil-
son law, 361,000 cattle had been imported
into the United States, of an average
value of $2.50 a head, paying 51 cents duty
each. The cattle men of Kansas had been
unable to raise as good stock as former-
ly, because of importations o‘f Mexican
stock. Consumers of beef had been fed a
poorer quality under the law than ever
before. If congress would restore the duty
Kansas would pledge herself to produce
her share of cattle without raising the
price of beef.

Two Murderers Expiate Their Crimes
the Same Gallows.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 5.—Wm. Downing and
Charles Williams expiated theii; crimes on
the same scaffold this morning in the yard
of the city jail. The drop was pulled by
an unknown hand through a panel.
Downing and Williams went together at
one pull of the rope. About 100 witnessed
the hanging.

| these famous contributions to the history
j of human error, says the St. James Ga-
zette:
1. -Aristotle said that slavery would last
forever or would cease only when the shut-
tle would weave of its own accord. A
double mistake this, for slavery is all but
abolished, and, thanks to invention, the
shuttle may be said to work of its own ac-
cord.
2. “Before 5 years are over all Europe
will be republican or Cossack,” prophesied
the exile of St. Helena in the first decade
of this century. We are Rearing nowits
fag end, but “old Yurrup” is less repub-
lican than ever and is still some way from
universal Cossackery.
3. “Italy is but a geographical expres-
sion and will never be anything else,”
opined Prince Metternich, and just before
his death he saw what he considered Utopia
on the point of becoming a reality. z
4. “The-railways will never be of any
use for the transport of goods,” sang out
M. Thiers, leading a chorus of sententious
economists.
5. “There is no morrow for universal
suffrage,” exclaimed M. Guizot on the eve
of the very revolution which sent him into
exile and promulgated universal suffrage
as sovereign law.
6. “Never,” was M. Rouher’s answer to
those asking after Mentana when Rome
would become the capital of Italy. A very
Washington, D. C„ Jan. 5.—There was a
fair attendance in the house when that
body reassembled today after the holiday
recess. The galleries also were well filled.
Under special order, adopted before the
recess, the house went into committee of
the whole and took up the Loud bill, to
amend the laws relating to second class
mail matter. The bill amends the present
law in several particulars, the principal
ones of which deny to newspapers the
“sample copy privilege,” and deny to
books sent through the mails as serials
the newspaper pound rates. Mr. Quigg of
New York took the floor. He character-
ized the bill as revolutionary and reac-
tionary. He said it is proposed to deny
to people the privilege they' had enjoyed
for half a century, and if passed would in-
flict a blow on every occupation engaged
in the printing and publishing of books
and newspapers, and in their distribution.
McKinley Will Make Him Successor to
Mr. Bayard.
Chicago, Ill., Jan. 5.—A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
President Elect McKinley will select Col.
John Hay of Washington as ambassador
to Great Britain to succeed Mr. Bayard.
Col. Hay has had a grea't deal of diplo-
matic experience. He has been secretary
of the legation at Paris, at Vienna and at
Madrid, and was eften charge d’affairs
ad interim at each oi these capitals. In
the Hayes administration he was first as-
sistant secretary of state. Hay was one
of President Lincoln’s secretaries.

little while
he said that the
uring on a double daily service out of Gal-
veston, but it has not yet been decided just
when the new service wrill be inaugurated.
The fast train will be faster than a flyer,
so Mr. Galbraith says, and will give the
quickest service ever attempted out of
Texas. The train will probably be put on
next Sunday.
Speaking of business, Mr. Galbraith said
that the International had no reason for
complaint. The earnings of the line for
the last week in December showed a net
increase over the same week of last year
of $42,000. From this showing it may be
judged in what a good humor the Inter-
national people find themselves, and the
willingness with which they contemplate
restoring the double daily train service
out of Galveston.

Mr. Wortham.
The county commissioners met yester-
day afternoon at 4 o’clock to pass resolu-
tions upon the death of the late Mr. J. C.
Wortham, state and county tax collector,
and to elect his successor. The first mat-
ter was referred to a special committee
and the commissioners went into election
on the applications from the following:
George D. Morgan, E. L. Fulton, Emil M.
Flake, F. McC. Nichols, C. W. Preston and
I. Holstein.
The first ballot resulted: Preston 2,
Nichols 2, blank 1. The second ballot stood:
Preston 2, Nichols 3, and Mr. Nichols was
declared elected to fill the unexpired

Mr. Nichols thought he could make bond
within five days and the commissioners
ordered the office closed until the new col-
lector qualifies.

ceedings, and the tone at the closing was
quiet but steady at a net decline of from
3 to 3 1-64 from yesterday’s prices.

“LONG LIVE THE KING!”
The fact that Queen Victoria is about to
celebrate the 60th year of her reign calls
attention to the long reigns of other mon-
archs. The majority of these lengthy
rules have occurred in times of national
prosperity and quiet, rude and unsettled
times being inimical. The three Danish
king's of England, for example, reigned
only 27 years' altogether. During the
Saxon period 15 kings ruled, with an aver-
age of 13 years apiece. But William the
Lion ruled over Scotland for 49 years
(1165-1214). His son, Alexander II., reigned
35 years and the latter’s son 36 years.
Charlemagne, the great consolidator of
the French republic, ruled 47 years, and
Louis IX. for 44; but both these long reigns
were exceeded by Louis XIV.. who reigned
the unprecedented time of 73 years, from
1642 to 1715. This reign is regarded as the
most brililant in French annals and ex-
ercised a fascination over all Europe
“Did you think I was immortal?” asked
the king on his death bed of his sorrowing
attendants.
. He was succeeded by Louis XV., his
great grandson, and this king reigned 59
: years. Thus two successive monarchs
ruled for the amazing time of 131 years
The Spaniards boast justly of the reigns
of some of their sovereigns. James I. of
Aragon ruled 63 years, from 1213 to 1276,
while Pedro IV. and John II. ruled re-
spectively 5Land 54 years. From the time
Spain was consolidated, in 1479, eight kings
ruled, whose reigns averaged 35 years.
Alphonse I. occupied Portugal’s throne
for 73 years (1112-1185) and he is regarded
as the founder of their independence by
the Portuguese. Other Portuguese kings
reigned for 43, 44 and 46 years.
The reigns of several of the Prussian
kings have been very long. Frederick
William, the great elector and founder
of the Prussian military power, reigned 48
years, from 1640 to 1688. Frederick the
Great was on the throne 4G years, and this
was about the most important reign in the
annals of the kingdom. Frederick Will-
iam III. reigned for 43 years (1797-1840).
Peter the Great holds the Russian
record, 43 years, from 1682 to 1745. It was
of this ruler that Voltaire said: “He gave
a polish to his people, and was himself a
savage; he taught them the art of war, of
which he was himself ignorant; from the
sight of a small boat on the river Moskwa
he created a powerful fleet: made himself
an expert shipwright, sailor, pilot and
commander; he changed the manners,
customs and laws of the. Russians and
lives in their memory as the father of his
country.” The great Empress Catherine
II. of Russia reigned 34 years.

IN AD-
said he, “if you know how to
ride it’s very exhilarating, but if you don’t
know how it is anything but pleasant, as
that boy evidently thinks now. If you ride
with your head down—that is to say, bent
slightly, so that the wind does not beat
right on your face—you can breathe easily.
But you hold your mouth wide open and
let the air beat right in your face, then you
will have great difficulty in breathing, and
if the race is a long one you will become
exhausted by the end of the ride. A mile
race on a good horse is run in about 1:40—
that is the near record made in a race. It
has been made in 1:39%, but that was on
a prepared track. A mile in 1:40 is at the
rate of 36 miles an hour; so, you see, a
race horse travels at express speed.
“If you Want to see how it feels to go
through the air at race horse speed, just
hang your head out of a railroad carriage
window, turning your faco toward tho
way the train is traveling. At the same
time imagine you are sitting in a saddle
and have to hold on to your horse and
guide him on to victory if possible, keep-
ing him from being run down or interfered
with. It is no easy task to ride a horse in
a race. The jockey must have all his wits
about him. He does not have much time
to think how he feels. When riding in a
neck and neck race down the home stretch,
I forget everything except that I must
strain every nerve to pass the other horses.
No thought can then be given to the plaud-
its from the grand stand.’’—New York
Times.
