An Ostrich Legend.
i The Arabs have :i curious legend to
account for the ostrich's residence in
I the desert. On a certain appointed
day, so it is said, all crested beings
' met together to decide upon their re'
spectlve order and precedence. All
went well until the ostrich, pleading
its inability to lly. disowned the birds
und claimed to take rank with tlie
. mammals. These, however, would
have nothing to say to a creature
clothed, not with furs, but with feathers;
while the birds, when it went dejectedly
back, repudiated it also
as u traitor to its race. Lho ostrich,
I however, was equal to the occasion
and declared that, being neither mammal
nor bird, it must be an angel;
whereupon all the other animals indignantly
rushed upon it and drove it
before them to the desert, where it has
lived in solitude ever since.

A special from Havana says: To
day, as under the tho Spanish regime,
bribery and framl direct the Cuban t
courts. This is tho firm conviction of i
the military administration. Cover- 1
nor Ootieral Brooke is taking tho mat- '
tor up and intends to clean out the cor- (
ruption, to reviso the judicial pro- ^
cedure, to change the court personnel 1
and to abolish the barbarous practice j1
of incommunicado, by which a judge j
may imprison foT life a person ignorant e
of the accusation against him and of 1
the names of his licensers.
It is true that the statutes allow only
three days' detention incommunien- "
do, but a judge, under the practice j1
that has grown up, may make a new
commitment at the expiration of the
third day; another at the expiration of
the sixth and so on without limit.
"More than this, the evidence iu
criminal causes is taken by clerks,
who for a consideration, write into
the testimony things never uttered,
thus often making the best friends of
the accused appear to condemn him. j
Apparently the whole criminal and j
civil systems have been arran hI so i
as to make it easy to buy and s<?U jus- j .
tice.
fioiiii-z Itcvli'w* III* Troubles. ; 1
General Maximo Gomez, in a long 1
icner turecieu to nis wue in nnmo i i
Domingo, reviews his differences with I
the so-called military assembly. He
begins by describing the situation as
it was when Robert P. Porter, ns the j
special representative of President !
McKinley, visited Cuba after the as- i
scmbly's representatives at Washing- ;
ton had obtained a promise of $3,000,- j 1
000 from the president. The writer j 1
proceeding, says:
"This action on the part of the as- j
sembly's committee T approved. It i
was then that Mr. Porter appeared
and asked me as commandcr-in-chiel i
to decide to accept the $3,000,000, to j
aid in its distribution and in the dis- j
arming of the army aud to proceed
forthwith to Havana to assist the I
United States military goveror, Gen-!
oral Brooke. I agreed, and on arriv- j
ing at Havana, I conferred with General
Brooke concerning the payment
and the disarmament. It was decided
that General Brooke should request
Washington to ship to Cuba the
$3,000,000 which had been obtained
by the representatives of the assembly.
I saw to the adjustment of all ;
of ;he questions that led up to the j
termination of tho ridiculous armed i
situation, and began to entertain |
hopes of an early return to Santo Do- i
mingo.
"The assembly then called upon
me to visit its president, saving that
the object sought was an unofficial
exchange of ideas. But they placed ,
me upon the bench of tho accused, my
crime being that I was inclined to j
accept the $3,000,001) which the as- .
sembly itself, through its representa- '
tives.liad induced President McKinley ^
to promise, a matter as to which I had ;
not been consulted. It appeared that j
T had broken off' negotiations for $13,- I ,
000,000. To all this I replied that I
had acted in the best faith, but that j
nothing had been lost, as I would .
withdraw the acceptance I had given, i ,
They then requested me to array my- j ,
self on their side i:i order to give ! ,
strength to their resolutions. I an- | <
swerod that I had always done so and j
would continue to do so except in !
cases where the course of the assembly :
was opposed to my conscience, to my j
sense of justice and to my idea of the j
nest interests of ( uhn.
' Regarding the matters under eon- ! ,
sideration I said 1 had no hope of oh- j (
tainging more than the ?11,000,000 from J
the t'nited States and disapproved | ,
asking eljnrity, contending that tlie (
only method left was to raise a loan j
for which the assembly lacked ade- j ]
(piato authorization. Furthermore, I (
printed out that the soldiers could not ,
wait; that already th y were too great
a burden upon the people of (Yba and
that longer delay appeared to 11 to be j
cruel.
" The conference ended without ae- j
complishing anything. I saw f could j
not make myself understood by the j
assembly and decided not to be mixed I '
up in its doings, but to await develop- j
ments. A few days later three men i
whom I did not know visited me and i
said that several millionaires stood j
ready to facilitate a loan of many mil- ;
lions, hut that the matter was possible !
only with my co-operation. I an- j
swered that I could not consider any ,
proposition of tlio kind find regarded :
it as strange that any one would be j
randy to lend money without n guar
an tec."

A special from Kansas City, Mo.,
says: A receivership for the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad was
asked Saturday night of Judge Gibson
r>f the circuit court, by Charles E.
iirannis and other stockholders and
creditors.
The application was granted and
fudge Gibson appointed the following
nainod officials of the road as receivers:
E. L. Martin, vice president; Robt.
Dillham, general manager, and J.
McIX Trimide, attorney, all of Kansas
i/'ity.
Considerable mystery seems to sur onnd
the affair. President A. E.
3tillwell, of the road,when telephoned
it his home at 1 o'clock Sunday inornng
denied any knowledge of a receivership.
It is believed that the receivership
is a friendly one.
The interest due Saturday amounted
o $575,000, and it could not be met.
iVhen this fact became known a movenent
was inaugurated to secure the
ippointment of a receiver who would

crests of tlie road. This move was
heekmated by the preparation of tho
>apers for the appointment of local
eceivers.
Judge Gibson was applied to late
Saturday night. The petition for the
tppointment of a receiver was signed

Carter H. Harrison was re-elected
mayor of Chicago Tuesday by a total
vote of 146,914, against 107,304 for
Zinar R. Carter, the republican can
Uulate,aiHt 45,410 for Joliu 1'. Altgelit,
the independent democratic candidate.
Harrison's plurality 30,610.
The democrats also carried all the
town elections, electing assessor, collector,
supervisor and town clerk in
the north, south and west towns, the
majorities ranging from 6 to 10,000.
The voto from the wards indicate
that the republicans have elected fourteen
aldermen and the democrats nine.
The contest in several of the wards is
very close aud the official couut will
probably be necessary to determiue
the result.
The city couucil has been composed
of forty-live democrats and twentythree
republicans, and the democrats
will without doubt retain a working
majority.
The election was entirely upon local
issues, no element of national politics
entering into the campaign. The firm
stand taken by Mayor Harrison
against the proposed tifty-ycar exten?ion
of the street car franchises was a
strong element of his popularity and
gained many from the republican party,
besides holding closely to him
many of the democratic party who
might have cast their votes for the independent
democratic candidate.
Another fact that drew to him many
republican votes was the existing opposition
to the republican machine
among the rank aud file of tho republican
party. Thousauds of votes were
cast for Harrison that would have
been received by Carter, the republican
nominee, had not the latter
been backed by the machine politicians.
There was nothing against Mr.
Carter personally, but the fact that he
was reputed to be the machine nominee
was ennnorb set tiinnv niruinst
him.
Several independent and republican
papers supported Mr. Harrison,among
them The Times-Herald and Post,
which have been known as Mclvinley
organs.
The election revealed some remarkable
changes in the republican vote,
particularly in the strong republican
wards, where the shifting to the democratic
candidate was very marked.
The election was one of thi quietest
that the city has ever experienced.
Mayor Harrison declared himself as
being greatly pleased with the result
of the election, saying:
"It shows thnt the people of Chicago
are pleased with the administration,
and I am glad of that, for I honestly
endeavored to give them the best administration
I could. The result
shows for itself."
Mr. Carter, tho republican candidate,
said.
"T do not take the Harrison victory
to be a rebuko to the republican party.
Indeed, I think that national issues
were not in the minds of the people
when they cast their ballots?simply
the idea was uppermost that Carter H.
Harrison was alone to thank for defeating
the attempt at long-term franchises
and that re-election was due to
him as a reward for that act."
John P. Altgeld said of the result of
tho election:
"One reason for the election of Mr.
Harrison was that tho press supported
him almost without exception, and tho
great republican papers were on his
side. Why did the republican papers
support Harrison? The reason is hard

had already betrayed the democratic
party, as he had it in his power to do,
and he will carry the betrayal a great
deal farther, and this makes the reelection
of McKinley a certainty. Tho
republicans look on this tight as the
llrst bnttle of 1900 and feel that the
re-election of Mr. Harrison already
seals tho results of tho next presidential
campaign."
