The government endeavored in the most tfudlble maimer to effect a'cij'mpromlse. and SlrCourtenay Boyle, with a patiemv. a forbearance and & tact beyond fcll praise, strove by every means In his power to bring about an understanding, tven succeeding In getting th?* starving workmen to express their readiness to meet Lord Penrhyn half w|r, und to have an Interview with MmV'at which the difficulties which had arisen between iIIbimismmI in r fuir and inem ww?? ? ? --- - ? ? frlendlv manner in the preaeijee ?* b'r Courtenay, acting aa repjeMtative of the government Lord Penrhyn, however, declined to Jjold a'communication with the men.unlew th'-re was an unconditional surrender on thair part, nnd unless they abandoned once and for all their rights to combination. He would not hear of takln? back tho seventy officers and committeemen of the union into his employ under .any consideration whatsoever, and wound up by declaring that Ik would not submit to the presence of Sir Courtenax Boyle or of any other outsider, as he did not for ohfe moment promise tu tolerate any ouuddv interference. whether an the part of the state or of other persona in hin private* aaln?." To this Sir Courtenay replied that the government could not admit that the settlement of a dispute which had brought several thousands of men, um well as their wives and families to the verge of such starvation, as to necessitate public relief, could be r$guxded as a matter merely of the private, luterest of Lord Penrhyn. The case of Lord Penrhyn. how* ever, differs from that of?tW Marquis of Clanrlearde. in that, whereas, the title of th* latter to the property occupied by fcts unfortunate tenants Is unimpeachable. that of Lord Penrhyn to the territory on which his famous quarriej are situated Is by no meansabovereprouch. nd. indeed, very much subject to question. It waa formerly "common land." tkat is to aay, belonging to the public and Inhabited by several thousand Welshmen, small cotters, farmers, peasants snd shepherds. Their honesty itt Kst shotm*by the fact that bey made no attempt to steal the "comtnon land.1' Fnfortunately the same cannot be Rid for the father of Locd> Penrhyn. For he deliberately set to work to fence In and Inclose nearly the whole of the | ' common iana. not oniy mai on wnicn the peasants, were accustomed to graze tH-.'lr live mock, but alio that on which their cottasea and farm* were altuated. inasmuch as the unfortunate peasantry hid no intention of becoming the tenants of the Lord of Penrhyn Cast 1a. and of paying rent for holdtpT which they since time Immemorial had occ il>d free, they made a poino of pulling down during the night the fences that h* had caused to bo erected during the day. .J* To stop this. Lord Penrhyh. Who was Lord Lieutenant of the county, and ai well the head of the government authorities of the shire, actually had the audacity to make use of his office to quarter a large force of the county constabulary and police In the district, and In the cottages and farm houses of its I-eople, whom he forced aa Lord Lieutenant not only to board and lodgo free of cost, but likewise to defray their pay in I ho share of extra county rates. Cut off from al! centers of civilization, for there were no railroads In that portion of.

Of course such an almost piece of high handed abuse of authority as that perpetrated by the present Lord Penrhyn'a father would be almost impossible today. But It must be remembered that this occurred some forty or fifty years ago. Ht an epoch when peers such as Lord Ponrhyn had still less notion thaii to-day of the fact that the poorer Hasae* haw aino right* of cUizenstUDi and of manhood.

"Of course, Em'ly. it Isn't necessary to go Into details, but I really think the President ought to recognise the Cubans," Mr. Rising responded, looking gloomily into space. "And won't he John, if he has the chance?" anxiously Inquired Mrs. Rising. h? won't. Swri-fiirv Olnev mivs ho won't." growled Mr. Hiding. "Maybo he doesn't know. If he's only a secretary.

"He could if h? wanted to." persisted Mr. Rising. "Ho isn't the kind or man to give up a thing he wants to do." "But . John, aren't the Cubans in Cuba?" queried Mrs. Rising. "Yes; those that aron't dead or in New York, Em'ly." "Do you want the President to go to Cuba. John?" questioned Mr. Rising, with a doubtful intonation. "Well, not exactly. Em'ly." Mr. Rising answered as he turned the pages of his paper. "Could he do it in New York, then, John?" Mrs. Rising pursued her Inquiry with womanish pertinacity. "Do what In New York. Em'ly?" asked Mr. Rising, rousing once more to Interest. "Recognlx? the Cubans," responded Mrs. Rising. , "No. he could do it In Washington." ! Mr. Rising answered, relapsing Into the | newspaper again. "Mercy. John, how could he recognize them In Washington. when there aren't any there?" Mrs. Kitting Inquired In shrill tone*. Mr. Rising mado no answer. After a pause Mrs. Kitting spoke again. "Well, for my part, I'm glad he won't Everybody thinks the President can do anything. It would be making bricks without straw to recognize the Cubans where there weren't any to recognize." FREE CURE FOR MEN. A Michigan Man Offers to feud lit* OUcorery Pre*?Claims to bt a Bcncfador to Weakened Mankind. There is always more or lesi suspicion attached to anything that is offered free but sometimes a man so overflows with generosity that he cannot rest until his discovery is known to the world, in order that his (ellow men may profit by what he has discovered. It is upon this principle that a resident of Kalamazoo. Mich., desires to send freu to mankind a prescription winch win cure them of any form of nervous cebillty; relieves them of all the doubt and uncertainty which nuoh men are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural ?l*e and vigor. As it costs nothing to try the experiment it would seem that any man. suffering with ihe nervous troubles that usually attack men who never stopped to realise what might be the final result, ought to be deeply interested In a remedy which will restore thera to health, etrength and vigor, 1 without which they continue to live an i existence of untold misery. As the remI edy. In question was the result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective In reetoring to men the strength they need, it I I would seem Chat all men suffering with any form of nervous weakness ought to write for such a remedy at once. A request to H. C. Olds, Box 1760, Kala| mazoo, Mich., stating that you are not I sending for the prescription out of idle 1 curiosity, buj th^t you wish to make use of the medicine by giving it a trial, I will be answered promptly and without I evidence as to whero information came | from. The prescription is went free and nlI though some may wonder how Mr. Olds | ran afford to give away his discovery, ! there is no doubt about the offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr. I Olds so that he may know how you | came to write to him. intra I rile*I, Itching Pllrt t j Symptom*?Moisture; Intense Itching and stltKcliiK; mont at night; worse by scratching.

The lower priced stocks attracted special attention, this being particularly truft cf Union Pactfle, which was bid up 1*4 per cent on active trading by professionals. The activity In Union PadAc wu.1 due to a belief among traders that the property was, in some way. to be a beneficiary of the operations In the Northern Pacific, which have attracted the largest share of the attention ot the market for several days past. The precise range of the powers and influences concerned In these operations Is not definitely known, but the reports that Northern Pacific,Great Northern and-Union Paclflc were Jointly endeavoring to acquire an influence In Oregon railway and Navigation, though without"explicit authority, was the impelling motive for the Interest In Union Paclflc, which led the ratlway llst in point of activity, with sales of lO.L'CO shares, closing at an advance of l point Northern Paclflc recovered from the profit taking of yesterday.became firm and advanced H on the day.

The stock subsequently displayed strength. The efforts to depress St. Paul on account of the decreased earnings shown for the last week of December also proved abortive.
