Thirty States 'Negotiations Pending
for an Kxchungo of Money, Orders
With Mexico Year's Estimates.
Washington, Nov. ft First Assist
ant Postmaster General Frank H.
Jones, in his annual report for tho fis
cal year ending June 30, 1800, states
that. there, has during tho tlmo been a
saving of 83,278,085, and also shows an
Improvement in the service of deliver
ing tho volumo of mall matter.
Tho number of presidential post of
fices is 8,054, tho salaries of tho post
masters being 0,203,000, and tho total
gross receipts from these offices were
805,282,004.
Mr. Jones recommends that .17,000,
000 bo appropriated to compen
sate postmasters for tho next
fiscal year. He asks only
311,000,000 for clerk hire, a consider
able decrease in proportion to tho in
crease of clerks to bo employed. Ho
recommends that 875,000 bo appropri
ated for tho rental .and purchaso of
cancelling machines. Ho thinks 815,
000 a sufficient sum to cover
advertising expensos regarding un
claimed letters, and advocates tho
adoption of tho bulletin board
system In this matter. Ho recom
mends that ten inspectors bo assigned
to look after tho work in' tho salary
and allowance branch of tho service.
Frco delivery service has been estab
lished in 24 cities during tho year and
there aro now but 03 cntitlod to It, but
on account of tho exponse tho remaind
er could not be benefitted. Experi
mental free delivery in towns
and villages has shown a reduc
tion in gross receipts in a
majority of offices. By November 1
next rural free delivery will bo tested
in about thirty states. There was n
reduction of dismissals of letter car
riers, which evidences tho high stand
ard of discipline An estimated ex
penditure of 313,320,500 is mado on ac
count of fre"e delivery system for the
fiscal year 1807-08. Negotiations aro
now pending for an exchange of money
orders with Moxico.
Mr. Jones recommends that a pen
alty bo prescribed for tho unlawful
uso of tho frank of a member of con
gress, and suggests SS00 fine in each
case. Ho said the law was disregarded
during tho campaign just closed. Ho
asks legislation to do away with pri
vate post office boxes.
" " TITilou' by a Folding-lied.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Warren B. Mason,
a commercial traveler, died Monday
from the effects of his folding-bed
closing upon him. His back was
broken.
THE
Two ways to make an overcoat a Right way and a Wrong
way. There is more than one way to make it wrong. One
is to have a cheap tailor make up a good piece of goods; an
other way is to have a good tailor makp up a poor piece of
goods. There is but ONE way to get up a GOOD overcoat,
and that is to have a good tailor make up a good piece of
goods, but if you go to a tailor, how are you going to tell
what you will get till you got il?' A good way to get a good
Overcoat is tb come where they are.
WE HAVE GOOD OVERCOATS !
They wore made by good tailors and wero mado RIGHT.
You can come hero and look at them, and if j ou don't
like them you "don't havo to" take any of them all you
are out is a LITTLE lime. When you go and get meas-
I llllllllsl
ured you aro out your time, ("in- a measuro") getting
measured; trying it on to see how it fits, and after that try
ing it on to havo tho mistako remedied.
At tho "BUCKEYE" you can get one that fits at first,
One of the swellest overcoats in Marietta is a blue or
black Kersey. WE HAVE TI3EM. They cost you $7.50,
$8, $9, $10. One of tho best VALUES in- overqoats that
was over shown is nur strictly all wool Keisey overcoats
in black, blue or orown at $0.00. Men have told us that
they don't see how we can do it. Didn't expect to a year
ago, but things are unsettled this year and MONEY talks.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Correspondence Hotween the Fresldent
nnU the Spanish Minister Jtoportocl.
Nkw Vonic, Nov. 0. -A Journal spe
cial from Washington says information
of tho most startling character regard
ing a correspondence betwoon Presi
dent Clevoland and tho Spanish minis
ter, Sonor Dupuy dc Lomo, concerning
tho futuro courso of this country to
ward Cuba, was curront horo Sunday.
It is said that a few days ago
tho president ,ln a semi-official
manner, sent to ascertain from tho
Spanish minister whother ho had any
Information that he might bo willing
to glvo rogarding tho futuro courao of
Spain toward tho insurgents in Cuba.
To this suggestion Sonor Dupuy do
Lomo is said to have Gent a reply in
which he assured tho president that
within 00 days from the date thereof,
November 1, Spain would have crushed
tho revolution or withdrawn her
troops from tho island. To
this astounding rejoinder, Prosident
Cleveland is said to have replied, on
tho following day, that ho would con
sider tho information imparted by tho
Spanish minister as sufficient to justify
this govornmont in dolaying any action
until tho expiration of tho tlmo named
and that by tho same token ho would
feol justiflod in recommending recog
nition of tho Cuban republic should
the Spanish government fall to rcstoro
peaco within two months.
In the opinion of thoso who know
tho Spanish minister this move on his
part is regarded as a clover diplomatic
attempt to forestall any action by tho
president based on tho report that Con
sul General Leo is believed to bo about
to make and to secure a postponement
of action by tho executivo until tho
wintor campaign shall havo been In
augurated. ...
THE' SEN'ATE.
Very
Close Will Bo the Standing of tho
Tito Leading Parties.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 0. In an in
terview Saturday evening with tho
Journal reporter Senator Nelson W.
Aldrich gavo it as his opinion that tho
standing of tho two leading parties in
tho next senate would bo very
close. It Is expected that Presi-
i dent-elect McKinloy will call a
special session oi congress to
consider tho revenue question soon
after inauguration. Tho senator fig
ures that at the present tlmo only two
states aro doubtful North Carolina
and South Dakota. In tho former tho
legislature is fusion, republican and
populist, and in the latter the populists
claim a majority. As matters stand
the financial forces aro evenly
divided in the senate, 44 gold
and tho samo number silver. These
figures aro likely to change, however,
for it is possible that some silver re
publican may accept the verdict of
tho elections according to tho St.
Louis platform. Until the exact status
of tho senate is decided, Senator Aid
rich will not state his opinion concern-1
ing tho future courso tho party is like
ly to take in the matter of revenuo
I legislation. . .

Commit an Outrage on an Amer
ican Citizen in Cuba.
Protest Filed With tho Yico Consul
and Case Sent to Washington.
A Saraplo ot a "Great Bpinlsh Victory"
bfvrnteen l'aclflcos Mordered in Colli
Illood Tho Towri and Garrison of ,
Uusymaro Captured by Garcia.
Key Wbst, Fla., Nov. 9. Passengers
whd arrived from Havana bring intel
ligence ot another outrage committed
on an American citizen. Although tho
details aro incomplete, tho facts aro
positive, slnco tho victim has filed a
protest with Vice Consul Springer and
tho case has been sent to Washing
ton for instructions. It appears
that near the town of San Jose do Las
Lajas, this province, a Spanish force
patrollng tho country surprised threo
rebels who tried to sneak into town.
The Spaniards gavo chaso and the reb
els fled. In ordor to discover tho hid
ing place of tho fugitives, tho Spanish
forces divided into squads of 50 men
and sent them in different direc
tions, and one of these parties
went to tho estate owned bj- a Cuban,
where Frederick L. Qraycraf t, a native
of Indiana and only 'two years in
Cuba, was manager. They forced tho
residence, destroyed the furnlturo and
ransacked tho premises. Tho women
present wore insulted in tho most out
rageous manner, oxcopt raping. Gray
craft protested that ho was an Amer
ican and showed papers. This, it
seems, incensed tho officer in com
mand, who drew a sword and com
menced slashing at Graycraft. He
managed to avert death, but was
wounded in the back, receiving a fear
ful gash that carried away part of the
flesh. His forearm was also cut to tho
bone. Tho other officers interfering,
saved his life. Graycraft was forced to
deliver about S100 in his possession.
Meantime Graycraft heard great out
cries outside and wont out Jator and
found 17 paclficos had been killed.
Thoro was not one insurgent amongst
them. All this was reported" last wcok
as a great Spanish victory.
Letters recelvod from Puerto Principe
give further details of the capture of
tho town of Guaymaro by Calixto Gar
cia. The whole garrison, 1G0 men,
surrendered, and aro -still prisoners,
although Garcia sent word to Castel
lanos that he would deliver them.
Garcia is also attending tho officers'
and soldiors' wounds.
It is rumored Weyler has issued
secret orders to military commander.s
in sugar districts, prohibiting grinding
except on Spanish properties. Orders
have also been issued to seize foreign
ers residing on sugar estates, to kill
cattlo and destroy implements and to
simulato flight in order to scare tho
farmers and laborers. Passengers by tho
steamer Olivette also report that num
erous insurgents from the command of
Gen. Gomez havo entered tho province
of Matanzas during tho past few days
and havo caused Gen. Weyler to dis
patch 0,000 of his troops, stationed in
Plnar del Rio district into Matanzas.
Considerable oxcitement exists in Ha
vana and also in Matanzas, fearing an
attack upon tho latter place.

CHAIRMAN ROBERTS
Bays Kentucky Uos for MnKlnlcy by
About 444 Plurality.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 0. Tho repub
lican state campaign committee will
close up shop Monday. Chairman Sam
Roberts issued his final bulletin Sun
day afternoon. It Is as follows:
Practically complete official returns
give McKinley 444 plurality In Ken
tucky, unofficial advices indicating
that tho four missing counties will in
crease rather than decrcaso these
figures. The republicans elect four
members of congress and a judgo of
tho highest court of tho state for
an eight year torm, and by tho fill
ing of vacancies havo secured a
majority of two in tho general assem
bly on joint ballot, which insures tho
olectlon of a republican successor to
Senator Hluckburn. Tho total voto of
tho stato will approximate 425,000, with
an incrcaso of 70,000 over last year's
voto and 25,000 more than tho highest
estimates bofore tho election. Tho re
publican votelncrcased about 4.000 over
Bradley's voto a yoar ago, which was
17,000 higher than ever before cast in
a presidential election. Tho demo
cratic vote was 25,000 higher. These
will givo somo idoa of tho intensity of
the political struggle through which
Kentucky has just passed."
(Signed) Sam. J. Rodents,
Chairman.
Up to 10 o'clock tho Courier Journal
had no new figures on the result of
tho election in Kentucky and McKin
ley's plurality stands 4S0 with six coun
ties to be heard from officially. Wheth
er or not tho discrepancy between tho
votes for different electors on tho samo
ticket has resulted in the choice of one
Bryan elector nnd 12 McKinloy elec
tors can not bo known positively until
tho stato canvassing board foots up tho
voto for each elector. Tho democratic
leaders still claim tho state but nono
of them was in town Sunday.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9. Tho repub
lican, managers Monday claimed Ken
tucky for McKinloy by a plurality of
443. They olaim to havo tho official fig
ures from all polling places in tho First,
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth districts.
No bets aro being paid in this city
on tho result in Kentucky, and thoy
may not bo paid for several months.
Tho Bryan people claim that tho elec
tion of Smith, whoso nama was at'tho
head of tho democratic ticket, will re
sult in a split electoral delegation, and
for that reason those who bet on Mc
Kinloy carrying the stato havo lost.
At any rate it will be some time before
the matter is settled, as the democrats
will take it through tho courts, and it
may bo thrown into tho United States
senate.
