Bx-Oovernor I.. F. Hubbard, of Minnesota, was
acaller at the McKinley home at noon. He said

and finally tip,m It.
The Major had two odd callera shortly before

Washington, Nov. 7,-The fact has come to
light that Consul-Oeneral Lee is here In obedi?
ence to a aummoni from th? State Department.
He did not come on a mission of eelf-convenleni .
Tills piece of Information is of much interest.
It was announced ibis week at the White House
thai President Cleveland bad begun work on bis
message t?. Congr? as, General Lee'a coming just
now must, then fore, be t" acquaint the Pi si
?I'tit with the true situation In Cuba. As related
In these dlapatchea last night, the General has
n?'\or submitted a report t" tin- State Depart?
ment mi Cuban affairs, except on minor ami
routine matters.
It is ban. ,| ',, day that he did not, as has been
announced, leave a written report at the Btate
Department yesterday when he railed on Beere
tary Olney. The Intelligence conveyed lo the
Secretary and later t.. Hi-- President was com?
municated verbally again to-day. The Consul
General waa at the White House in conference
with the President. II" waa also g visitor nt the
Navy Department, being in consultation wim
Secretary Herbert for m ire than an hour. This
latter can has occasioned no little speculation, as
the Naval branch of the Government is not
mixed up In Cuban affairs. With Btudled resolu?
tion Secretsry Herber! has endeavored ti"t to
have the Navy Involved one way or the other In
reference t?i Cuba. As is well known, the h??me
squadron has not been south of Hampton Roada
for over a year.
That General Lee sh.'uid reach Washington
nt th" time when the President is engaged in
writing out the tlrst pages of his annual report -
which, according to custom, will refer lo the
roontry'a foreign relations is significant In
the Judgment of well-Informed persona, the ?' n?
Bui-General iu here to Inform the President thai
the revolution in Cuba is making no headway,
that there is no promise of rn early ending of
the struggle, and thai as long as hostilities ron

REMARKS ABOUT Tin: HKACTIKS OF
TIIK blbVatsd roads and
OTHER THIMCM.
Husseii Page was seen *t his home, No. SOT?
Flfth-ave., last night by a Tribune reporter
about the yarn, again revived, that the Man?
hattan elevated and Metropolitan Traction sys?
tem? were tn be consolidated, and he said: "The
story is all fudge. The statement printed this
morning was entirely unauthorized."
When he was a??ked if he thought any benefit
would In- lb-rived from the two systems being
operated by one company. Mr. Sago rep!i??d as
follows: "I atu not sure that there would be. i
There might be some, but 1 am not at liberty j
to talk on that subject now. it is this way: The
Manhattan elevated road is the one and only
system <>f rapid transit In the city, and It is the j
only one possible, and they may all talk as they !
Ilk?' about the underground tunnel scheme and
all other schemes of rapid transit. T* road
system la the only possible one and the only
feasible one."
Mr. Sag.- was Interrupted at this point by a
parrot, which was swinging In his cage hard
by and which at this juncture cried out:
"Us all right! Its all right!"
hi reply to the question if there had bei?n any
talk of consolidation of the two railroad sys?
tems, Mr. Satre said: "Not that I have heard of.
of course, there has been lots of talk on the
Street among the bulls for speculative purposes,"
"Why should they talk of it, Mr. Sage?" asked
the reporter.
"Why, to make commissions, of course," re- i
plied Mr. Sage, laughing. "If the brokers can
boost tbe stuck four or five points, they can i
make n good thing out of It. I guess the Trac
tlon people would like |o ge' control of the 'L' j
system, but neither Mr. Gould nor myself has
ever been approached on th-> subject. I refused
to s"l! my stock when it was 100, and so did
Mr. <build. The only one who sold stock was i
J. Pierponl Morgan Ba traded it ?iff for the j
old Northern road He wanted to sell the j
Northern road to me, but I wouldn't buy It. I !
am nol buying stock of such roads. It has
never paid, and it don't pay now. I would not
Inve-st money in stock which don't pay, would
you?"
The reporter said that he would not. Mr.
Sage chuckled and poked the reporter In the
ribs, while the parrot shouted- "It's all right!
It's al! right !"
II. II. Vreeland, president of the Metropolitan
Traction Company, was seen at his home, N'o.
'-'7* W.st Kichty-sixth-st., and he laughed at
the Btory. He said that such stories had be?'ii
circulated frequently for three years. He said
thai the scheme had nevei l.(1 even considered
by the controlling spirits of either road, so far
as he knew, and. as president of the Metro?
politan Traction Company, he was sure that, If
it had, he certainly would have h?'ar?i or tt.
it was reported In Wall Btreel yesterday that
the Metropolitan Traction Company was to de
clara a ?crip dividend of 20 per cent, bearing ??
per c nt and convertible Into stock at par in
two vean. If was also reported that the Met?
ropolitan Traction system was to be consoH*
dated under a new company, to be called the
Metropolitan Passenger Railway Company.
i me of the chief men In the Metropolitan Trac?
tion syndicat" said there was nothing In the
"ton of a pi i posed consolidation ?if the Metro?
politan and Manhattan systems. Th-?re was
at one time a proposition by outside interests
to form a ' "inpany to acquire both the Metro?
politan and the Manhattan systems. This
?cheme was never seriously considered. Tho

?BT CABI.C TO THK TRIBVNE.1
London, Nov. 7.?Silly rumors have been ew
rent time the Cabinet meeting that the Qotm
ernment had decided to abandon Cyprus and to
submit the Egyptian question to a European
conference, and that Lord Salisbury would an?
nounce the term? of the double surrender at tha
Guildhall banquet on Monday. The Cyprus story
has been officially contradi? ted. The digestion
of the banqueters would not he Improved by
so amazing and unpopular a declaration of
policy; Lord Salisbury is not likely to choose a
festive occasion for the humiliating confession
that England has been compelled to pay tributa
both to Russia and France before being al?
lowed to enter th? Pual Alliance. Bismarck,
moreover, has succeeded in discrediting all
diplomatic coalition? by his startling revela?
tions. He has demonatrated that the Tripla
Alliance was neutralized by a secret treaty be
tween Germany and Russia, and that the three
Emperors' alliance, which preceded the present
coalition, did noi. prevent one ally from plotting
against another, and attempting to secure tba
neutrality of a third Power. After so cynical
an exhibition a?, this of the hollowness and
sroethltaanaaa of European alliances, a position
of splendid isolation would appear a strong?
hold of power for England or any other great
nation.
Lord Salisbury lb not likely to repeat last
year's menaces heard In the same GulldhalL
but will probably discuss the Armenian ques?
tion on the line defined by M. Hanotaux In
the French Chamber. He may also foreshadow
the speedy settlement of the Venezuelan ques?
tion, whi.-h would be a popular theme in the
city.
Bismarck's disclosures continue to astonish
and disturb the Continent. The motive for them
Is evidently something more serious than senile
rage over personal neglect or Jealous pique and
r<-s? ntment. Apparently It Is keen discernment
of the d'-cllne of German prestige and Influence
In Continental affairs in consaqwanca of the
Franco-Russian alliance that Inspires his dis?
closure of State secrets. Having Illustrated his
own astuteness In offsetting the Triple Alliance
he exposed Germany to the charge of duplicity
in deserting Austria. The se? ond disclosure re
adjusteil matters, sln??e It proved the sincerity
of German friendship for Austria when Russia
was meditating a treacherous attack upon her.
The practical utility of these revelations In re?
storing German influence eannot readily he per?
ceived. The Triple Alliance la weakened by
them and the Dual Alliance Is rendered mor?
formidable. French critics acutely contend that
Bismarck's refusal to desert Austria when Alex?
ander II wished to attack her In order to give
his army officers a chance to obtain promotion
was the logical sequel to the Tzar's previous un?
willingness to allow Germany to Invade France
a second time In 1875. What Is evident is that
Bismarck, If he continues his astonishing series
of revelations, trill effectually impair the moral
force of European alliances.
The result of the American elections remains
the chief theme of European discussion. The
paeans of triumph In New-York. Chicago and
San Francisco are re-echoed from every Euro?
pean capital. No event In American publie
affairs since the Civil War has commanded
equal attention In England and on the Conti?
nent or has been greeted with more general
signs of approval and -atlsfaction. If the
financial exchanges have been relieved from ap?
prehension of an appalling catastrophe. Govern?
ments and nations have been delivered from
the imminent perils of a new conflict with the
elements of unreason and unrest; for the dan?
ger of the spread of lawlessness and social revo?
lution was discern???! everywhere in Europe.
The general verdict expressed in many Conti?
nental languages is that Republlean Institutions
have been on trial, and that American cltizena
have b..?.n fighting and winning a great battle
In the world's civilization. There are protest?
ing volees from the Agrarian agitators in South
Germany and the Socialist Journals of Paris.
but these are drowned In ihe chorus of acclama?
tions from every country in Europe over the
patriotic uprising of Americans in defence of
Nati..nal honor and existing institutions.
English opinion, better Informed respecting
American affairs than ever before, has been
heartily, emphatically, almost fraternally, ex?
pressed. Cynicism has not been lai king here
and there, but. In the main, the English press
has been sympathetic and appreciative, and
has established a new bond of International
amity and fellowship by Its inlelllg-nt and cor?
dial recognition Of the Important service ren?
der.?.! to the world by American citizenship In
this supreme crisis. This exhibition of friend?
ship has been all the mo-e creditable because
McKinley has never been a favorite In Eng?
land and has been generally regarded as the
Champion of anti-Er.gllsh policies. His post
eb-.il.u? address Is received to-day with hearty
commendation for the dignity of Its tone and
Its patriotic fervor.
The English Journals have greeted with even
more enthusiasm Mr. Hanna's conservative re?
marks on tariff legislation, and have assumed
with precipitate haste thct changes In the ex?
isting turiff will be indefinite!)' deferred, and
will be moderate ami harmless when finally
mad.?. The press of this country has failed to
? omprehend the magnitude of the deficiency in
reveniK-s caused by the adoption of the Wilson
tariff, nor has It grasped the essential fact that
more than half of the Issue of new bonds by
which tS/OAOQAW has been added to the Na?
tional debt has been used by the Cleveland
Administration in making good that default,
while nominally negotiated for the redemp?
tion of the greenbacks. Ever, the most intelligent
money writers overlook this factor In the cur?
rency problem and fall to point out that the sub?
stitution of a surplus for a steadily Increasing
deficit must be the first duty of a Republican Ad?
ministration, um* that prompt revision of tha
tariff for revenue purposes cannot be deferred?
It may be presumptuous to expect English finan?
cial writers to admit that four yeara or com?
mercial depression, a great Increase in the Na?
tional debt, the decline of revenues, the dis?
orders of the currency and Industrial prostration
have followed the first organized attempt to
recast the American protective system on Eng?
lish low-tariff linea Coiilessions which require
superhuman virtue In the conquest of prejudice
are not to be looked 'or, but surely self-re?
straint ought to lie exercised by artists who
represent Americans as bowing down before a
golden calf, and by essayists who talk about the
writing on the wall at Belshaxsar's feast, and
denounce the evils of plutocracy, trusts, monop?
olies and combinations as the direct result of
high protectionism in the United States, as "Tha
Saturday Review" and a few other surly critica*
are disposed to do. It ou.cht to be apparent to
these persons that England, under Free Trade,
has become the stronghold of the money power,
and that combinations, trusta and monopolisa
flourish here as well as In America. English,
