Consul Lee Had Lots of Work in Cuba. DECLINES TO BE INTERVIEWED ON THE - CUBAN QUESTION. SPEAKS OF WEYXLER AS aA GENTLEMAN, New York, Nov. 5.-Gen. F‘itzhugh Lee arrived from Havana last night on the steamer Vigilancia. Gen. Lee was Interviewed at Quarintine in his state- room. He said his health had been ex- cellent from the time he left this coun- try last June, in spite of reports to the contrary. His stay in Cuba had been pleasant although the duties of his posi- tlon were exceedingly onerous. Every day questions of importance had to be decided, and the consulate was daily thronged with callers. He had been treated with military courtesy by Gen. Weyler, who he said was a gentleman of pleasant manners, but a strict disci- plinarian. Gen Lee declined to talk nbout the Cuban question, even in gen- ctal terms. He will go to Washington at 'once. He said that if things re- mained as they were at present, he would take Mrs. Lee to Havana when he returned. \I speak such poor Eng- lish, after my four months stay in Cuba that I am afraid to trust myself to be Interviewed in that language,\ said Gen. Lee as he excused himself from re- plying to further questions. A ROYAL WEDDING. PRINCE LOUIS PHILLIPPE RU- PERI AND ARCH DUCHESS AMELIE OF AUSTRIA MARRIED. Vienna, Nov. 5.1-Prince Louis Phil- lippe Rupert was married this forenoon to Archduchess Marie Dorothea Amelie of Austria, the ceremony being per- formed in the Holfburg Chapel at 11 o'clock in the presence of Emperor , Francis Joseph, the Queen of Portugal, sister of the bridegroom, and a number 'of Austrian and foreign royalties. 'The procession from the State apartments | to the chapel was formed in the follow- ing order; 'The Due D'Qrleas, accom- panied by the Duc D'Chantres, his un- cle, Archduke Joseph of Austria, the bride by the Cotesse De Paris, mother of the Duc D'Orieas and Archduchess Clotilde of Austria, Em- | poror Francis Joseph and the Queen of Portugal, the Duke of Conneaught, and the Duchess of Aosta, the Duke of Aos- ta, ind Archducess Maria Josepha of Austria. Cardinal Gruscha, Archbish- op of Vienna, received the procession at the entrance to the chapel and sprink- led the bridal pair with holy water. The services having been thus formally op- eved the court chaplain, Dr. Mayer pro- ceeded to perform the marriage cere- mony. . Good Business in American Stocks.

[ ~ THE SITUATION. Later reports lessen the magnitude of McKinley's majority in the far Western from the cities gave a misleading idea of the drift of the vote, and the Republi- can gains therein were overcome by the country districts. Yesterday morning North Carolina, Tennessee, and even Texas, together with Kansas and Ne- braska were claimed by the Republi- cans. Bryan appears to have carried first placed in the McKinley column. When we turn to the popular majority, we find that McKinley's victory is more pronounced. A rough estimate based on incomplete retwns from all the States indicates that the popular ma- jority for McKinley will lie between since 1876 a successful candidate for President has polled a clear majority over all opponents. Legislative returns from distant States are coming in slowly, and as yet the political complexion of the next Federal Senate cannot definitely stated. It seems highly probable, how- ever, that that body has lost its silver majority. Whether the majority will be safely Republican that is, ready to sup- port Republican partisan legislation- is not so evident for it must be borne in mind that among the holdover Senators are several gold Democrats, like Lind- siy, of Kentucky, and Caffery, of Louis- frna, who, while they would vote against i free coinage measure, would not support any radical Tariff legisla- tion proposed by the Republican party. Furthermore, it is far from certain that the silver extremists who are nominally Republicans, like 'Peller, of Colorado, and Dubois of Idaho, will vote for the enactment of anything like the MeKinley Tariff. On the con- trary, it is reasonable to rate them as uncompromising opponents of the in- coming Administration. Keeping in mind these considerations it is too early to predict that the Mc- Kinley administration will have a par- tisin backing in both branches of Con- gress. If the Senate is very close or hostile, President McKinley may well despair of his ability to persuade Con- gress that the country needs another high Tariff at present. The country needs rest from both currency and Tar- iif agitation; and it will be fortunate if the Senate proves to be an obstacle to the realization of the well known hopes of the President-elect. Judging from hints that have been thrown out by the Republican leaders and inferring, as we may, that Presi- dent McKinley will be anxious to get a new Tariff act in operation at the ear- liest possible day, we may expect an extra session of Congress next March or April. 'The reason advanced for this action will be the deficit in the revenue. The Administration will seize the op- portunity to embody its High 'Fariff principles in legislation; but, as we have pointed out, the success of the scheme will depend altogether upon the attitude of the Senate. It may be said that opposition to the partisan purposes of the new Adminis- tration will tend to reunite the divided Democracy.. At this time, however, it would be idle to discuss any specific plan of reunion. 'The best that Demo- crats, whether gold Democrats and sil- ver Democrats, can now do is to care- fully watch developments and to trust to time to heal dissensions and to facili- tate concessions. We shall not have another national election until 1898, when a new House of Represetatives is to be chosen. Next year in New York the State contest will be confined to the election of a Judge of the Court of Ap- peals to sueceed Chief Judge Andrews and the election of Members of Assem- bly, and in these national issues need not figure at all. 'The Democracy can therefore bide its time, in the firm hope that the near future will bring relief from its prosent difficulties.-Rochester Herald. THE VALUE OF VACCINATION. From Harper's Weekly. 'The report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination has just been published, any may be regarded as a complete vin- dication of the claims of vaccination to be prophylactic against small-pox. This gratifying result has been arrived at after years of patient labor over vari- ous lines of research. History, experi- ence, and statistics combine in the com- missioners' report to make manifest the protective influence of vaccination. It is admitted that in a certain-happily a sinali-proportion of the cases accidents do occur. Erysipelas and inflammation leading sometimes even to gangrene and death, have supervened among the poorest and, worst situated patients. 'The recommendations of the commis- sioners are fairly radical, and if adopt- ed by Parliament will almost amount to an absolute reversal of the policy hith- erto pursued by the local government Board in this matter. 'That policy can be summed up in two articles of faith- first, the use of arm-to-arm vaccination; second, the encouragement of public vaccinators and public vaccination sta- tions. 'The bitterness which the poorer classes feel against public and compul- sory vaccination is intense; so much so infljct any penalties on parents who dis- believe in it. - 'The commissioners re- commend, above all the use of calf lymph; tltey advise that the doctor should go to the patient instead of the child being brought to the station, and that the State should see to it that a supply of calf lymph is within the l'gach of every vaccinator. 'These pro- visions, if carried out by the legislature, will involve an entirely new organiza- tion, and the repeal of nearly the whole of the present vaccination law. - The English are never in a hurry to legislate and it will probably be at least a year before Parliament takes any steps in the matter. According to the official reports of the Japanese Government, the Island Em- pire contains 62,520 teachers. HOOD'S PILLS cure Liver ils, Bil- lousness, Indigestion, Headache.

For the first time | be ; YACHTING ON THE GREAT LAKES From Harper's Weekly. 'The yachtsmen of Lake Eris are hardy sailors. 'They are expert too, and alert, as they have need to be, for a cruise on this most treacherous of the Great Lakes often makes continuous demands on the skipper's skill. Their mistress is a shallow vixen, and being shallow, is capricious. 'The breeze that from the south bears upon Lake Erie ever so lightly at morn, may at night sweep from the north with whilrwind fury. With all her fickleness, however, this almost small- ' est of the great \unsalted seas\ has ' charms that lure the cruising yachts- t men from one extremity of the lake to the other. Four great cities contribute to the yachting fraternity. At the eastern end of the lake is Buffalo, with a protected harbor, and open sailing for miles to the west. Nearly at the centre of the south- ern shore is Cleveland, with a protected harbor, and an open cruising ground cast and weste. At the western end of the lake, a few miles from open water on the Maumee River, lies Toledo, with many enthusiastic Corinthian sailor- men; and to the northwest, beyond the mouth of the Maumee, where the De- : troit River flows into the lake with gen- tle force, Detroit yachtsmen sail back and forth from lake to river and river to lake, the livelong season. - In these four cities are the more prominent yacht clubs, and in addition are those of the smaller towns. - Sandusky boasts quite a fine organization; Put-in-Bay has sufficient enthusiasts among the is- land residents to support a small club, and there are one of two clubs of some prominence on the Canadian side of the ; lake. From time to time desultory attempts were made to unite the clubs in an asso- ciation for the purpose of holding a general regatta. In 1888 this partially succeeded. Races were held at Put-in- Bay, and well attended. But disagree- ments arose, and that was the end of inter-club yachting for a number of years. In 1894 another organization was proposed and perfected. The ex- that magistrates can rarely be found to | citement over the races on the Atlantic coast for the America's Cup spread to the yachtsmen on Lake Erie. Friends of the sport did all in their power to at- tract yachmen to the Put-in-Bay regatta given by the Inter-Lake Yaching Asso- ciation, the new organization, and the result was the best attended and he largest regatta ever held in the hisory of fresh-water yachting. Over fifty of the finest yachts of the lake assembled at Put-in-Bay, and cast anchor not a half-hour's sail from the historic spot where Commodore Perry sank the Brit- ish fleet on September 10, 1813. 'The total number of yachts on Lake Erie is about 150-rather an insignifi- cant showing, no doubt, to a sea-coast mind. 'To the lake yachtmen, however, it speaks encouragement, for it means that in five years this fleet has grown from a mere half-dozen boats. Ten years ago the keel boat was a theory and a myth, so far as the lake builders were concerned; now it is the most popular type. GAME-BIRD SHOOTING. From Harper's Weekly. Field training is quite as essential for the master in learning to bring down the game as for the dog in properly finding it. No kind of target-shooting will take the place of practice on actual game. A man may shoot a shotgun cupitally over a trap, and yet fail miser- ably in the field; and, contrairiwise, I have known good field shots who, when placed before a trap, missed glass balls or clay pigeons with the most consisetut regularity. Of course trap-shooting can accomplish , something in the way of teaching the tyro to handle a gun prop- erly, but considered as mere practice, it is a very poor substitute for field shoot- ing; and considered as sport, it has no rank whatever. If one wishes to \keep his hand in\ during the close season, the most etfica- cious plan is to shoot at a target with a vifie, 'This, indeed, is excellent practice at all times as an aid to wing-shooting, though seemingly the two are so very different. 'The value lies in this, that rifie-shooting teaches one the necessity of accurate aiming, which the bird- shooter is apt carelessly to overlook, and comrects the tendency to jerk the trigger prematurely, which persons of a nervous temperament are prone to ac- quire, particularly in woodland shoot- ing. Many a man, under the stress of the excitement incident to the flushing of game, acquires the bad habit of habi- tual and almost involuntary ing, regularly pulling the trigger as soon as the gun is at shoulder, though he may be fully aware an instant later that the aim was nowhere near the bird. Rifle practice, better than anything else, will tend to correct this, teaching the al- most automatic mental mechanism that governs one at the moment of snap- shooting, to demand at least an approxi- mately accurate aim before releasing the < trigger. Of course no successful handler of the shotgun expects his aim with this weapon to be absolutely rifie- like, but the more nearly one approvi- mates that standard the fuller will be his game-bag, on an average, at the close of the day. TROLLEY MAIL-CARS. The new system of handling the local mails on the trolley car lines in Phila- delphia has just been put into opera- tion. There are six routes and 114 band- some new cars, especially built by the Union Traction Company for the work, have been placed in the service. 'The cars are painted white, with the words, \United States Railway Postoffice\ on the side, as well as a handsome design in a seroll, with a picture of the old Liberty Bell, and the words \Philadel- phia Postoffice.\ 'The cars carry racks, pouches and electric canceling ma- chines, the same as the steam railroad mail cars. All matter received from the main office or sub-stations is arranged for the carriers, or for transfer in route, and in a month or so carriers along the lines traversed will dump the mail col- lected from the boxes into the cars, where the wokr of sorting will be done at once, and much time saved in. de- livery, baa la zeal . ..~.t.i.ALsi\E VIEWS FROM ABROAD How Europeans Regard Mr - MceKinley's Election. OP NIONS WIDELY AT VARIANCE. FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS GENER- ALLY APPLAUD THE TRIUMPH or THE GOLD STANDARD, BUT SEEN TO FEAR A HIGH TARIFP IN THE NEAR FPUTURKE. \VIENNA Nov. 5.-'The Neue Fric Presse, commentin« on the result of the election in the United Stites says: \It is doubtful if McKinley will be able to continue the protective policy, since he was elected by both protectionists find free traders. Mc- Kinley's victory is to the advantage of all civilized peoples. His defeat meant the beginning of a social confusion which would scarcely have been. confined to America,\ . The Fremdenblatt remarks: \The de- feat of the silverites was so severe that it has permanently killed their chances.\ The Tageblatt of this city says: ''The result is reassuring for the whole world.\ What the Germans Say. BERLIX, Nov. 5. -The Vossisehe Zeit: says: \The downfall of the American s verites means the downfall of the uermaci ° silverites.\ The Neueste-Nacht#sichten remarks: \Just as the Democrats during Cleve i's regime did not abolish the pro »c- riff, but only slizhtly lowered i , now the Republicans will not restore the McKinley tarff, Whey nmist obey the wishes of tas influential circles within their own party.\ The Voiks Zeitung states: \The result of the election will lead. to a genera: de- sire upon the parsof European (cxoorte s to hasten the accumulation in America of the largest possible mass of wares Lefore the new congress makes the tariff prohib- itive. The victory of McKinley is thus an evil, but it is the less of the two.\ Das Volks Social says: \The reformer, Bryan, is in every respect a social reform- er. His opponent is carved differently. McKinley is a kind of American stunim, ,a brutal fighter for capitalism and, go:d currency and all owners of American se- curities. Capitalism enterprises were strongly interested in his victory, and the golden harvest now comes for the boerse ans bondholders, but the reverse for the producing classes. In Germany, McKin- ley will lead to agrarian depression, and our industry in shippmg and commerce will likdwise sufler. AMclCinley's election is an international calamity.\ Views From Seotiand. LOXDOX, Nov. 5.-A dispatch from Glas gow says that the general opinion there is that Mr. McKinley's election will give a great temporary stimulus to the British export trade in order to rush merchan- dise forward before Mr. McKinley comes into office. Higher tariffs are then ex pected to be enacted. The sugar houses of Glasgow say they expect the duties on refined sugars im- ported into the, United States will be raised 2 cents. ''With refined sugar sell- ing at 9 shillings per hundred weight the possibility of loss to speculators is small. Itis believed that Americans will com- mence to buy largely for December, Janu- ary and February delivery. doubt, that there will be a rush to export woolen soft goods to America,. Ship owners foresee little benefit, as most of the steam tonnage bas already been chartered for spring. The ironmasters say they have done without America for two years and are able to continue without a single Ameri- can order. The chief satisfaction in business circles is felt over the maintenance of the finan- cial status quo. As Viewed In England. LOXDOX, Nov. 5.-The Daily Mail in an editorial on the election says today: \Itis impossible yet to correctly estimate the meaning of the election. According to the latest news Mr. Bryan 'was by no means so badly snowed under as the first returns seemed to indicate. Bir. McKin- ley's regime will hardly fail to perpetuate and accentuate the discontent which voices itself in the free silver cry. If mo- nopolies, trusts and. pools obtain renewed and extended power the bitterness will increase and the election in 1990 will prove still fiercer, with the forces of discontent perhaps better organized under a more acceptable banner of free silver. We can congratulate the United States upon the removal of an ominous cloud, giving a re- spite to inaugurate a policy to allay the discontent. But for England it is only the lesser of two unattractive evils.\ Voice of the Roman Press. Roxmk, Nov. 5.-The Opinione says of the result in the United States: \The election is a triumph of common sense and of national probity.\ Italia says: \The ery 'Long live McKin- ley!' should be raised not only in the United States, but throughout the civil- ized world.\ . The comment of The Tribuna is: \The entire commercial community yesterday was anxious, but today is reassured. The reverse of the medal is found in Mr. Mc- Kinley's sympathy with Cuban independ- ence.\ > The Roma says: \It may be foreseen that Mr. McKinley's foreign policy will take a different course from the correct and prudent policy of Mr. Cleveland. 'The Cuban question now becomes a grave and perplexing one.\ As the French See It. PARIS, Nov. 5 -Le Soir says: \Gold has carried the day, but unless the govern- ment seeks to satisfy the demands of the industrial and farming population of the Far West the movement will end by car- rying away all the dykes erected by the great gold operators.\ . Continuing, Le Soir doubts that \Me- Kinley will bring into office the same spirit of equity as Cleveland.\ reins P There is no | WESTERN NEW YORK. - Tonawanda Iron and Steel Works Started To-Day.

Lawyer Clara Foltz appeared in the Center Street Police Court yesterday in: behalf of Thomas O'Comnor, alias Ed- ward Doyle, who escaped on August 16th from the Morristown Asylum for the criminal insane, to which he had been transferred after being sentenced to Trenton prison for five years for grand larceny. Before his arrest in New Jersey he had escaped from the' Flatbush Insane Asylum.
