Hopes of Its Enter- tained Madrid, April 10.—Senor Gullon, for- eign minister, has held several confer- ences with the ambassadors of the powers. Rumor having been circulat- ed that the failure of the pope’s ef- forts was owing to the attitude of the United States, the nunciature here has issued the following note: “The nunciature s higher hopes than ever of the suce of papal inter- yention. It is not true that President McKinley has rejected the pope's inter- vention in favor of peace. Such impo- liteness would be the more impolitic, not only because it would display 2 barbarous intolerance, but because however much any person might be the pope’s enemy, it would be impos- sible to interpret the voice of the ven- erable 6ld.man who recommends the preservation of peace. On ihe other hand, the Catholics of North America would never pardon such a disregard of the vicar general of their church.” —o— Why Not Throw Up the Sponge?~ Madrid, April 10. zen.

WORK: OF CONGRESS Washington, April 5.—It was frankly and openly charged in the senate by Mr. Perkins of California in a speech that Spain was responsible for the Maine disaster, as it had been brought about by Spanish machinations and Spanish treachery. The speech of Mr. Perkins was only one of four prepared addresses upon the Cuban question de- livered in the senate. Mr Clay of Georgia, while hoping for a peaceful solution of the problem which the country is now facing, declared strong- ly in favor of independence of the Cuban, and pledged to the administra- tion the loyal support of the South, which, in the event of war, would have to bear the brunt of the conflict. Mr. Perkins took substantially the same ground, and his vigorous treat- ment of the Maine disaster aroused the crowded galleries to enthusiastic applaus Mr. Mantle of Montana, while ressing confidence in the ad- ministration, maintained that the time had now arrived, and action must be taken to the end that aba should be free. Mr. Rawlins of Utah, entirely eliminated the president from censid- eration in his speech, holding that the case against Spain was already made up, and that with congress rested the responsibility of declaring For to wait longer was only to iticism. He declared for the us action immédiately. Af- ter the Cuban speeches had been deliv- ered, the senate resumed consideration of the sundry civil bill and finished thirty-three pages before adjournment. peal Se While there were no attempts to force consideration of a resolution re- garding the Cuban situation in the house there was a brief outbreak in the course of which the warlike temper of the crowded galleries was so manifest that Speaker threatened to clear them if it was repeated. The outbreak oc- curred over a bill to authorize the pres- ident to erect temporary fortifications in case of emergency upon land when the written consent of the owners was obtained without awaiting the long process of legal condemnation. This led to a demand by Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, for information as to the facts that warranted all these war measures. The particular state- ment which arroused the galleries was to the effect that while the Democrats were willing to wait any re: nable time for the president to tra message that would meet the appro- val of the American people, they would not wait a minute for him to continue negotiations with ‘the, butchers of Spain.” When the demonstrations in the galleries were rebuked by the speaker, he declared that the galleries were the American people in mina- ture. Mr. Cannon accused Mr. Bailey of “posturing” and playing to the gal- lIeries. The bill was passed and it was arranged that the army reorganization bill should be taken up on Wednes- day unless a report was made from the The remainder of the day was passed with- out incident in the transaction of Dis- trict of Columbia business. During the morning thousands swarmed through the corridors of the house at the end of the capitol clamoring for admission to the galleries. Washington, April 6—“The United States ought immediately to declare war against Spain and to maintain the war until the people of Cuba are made free from Spanish starvation and cruelty and the government of the island firmly established as an in- dependent republic.” This utterance by Senator Chandler of New Hampshire in a carefully pre- pared statement of his position on the Cuban crisis was the climax of an ex- tended discussion of the subject par- ticipated in by several * members in the senate yesterday afternoon. Speeches had been delivered by Mr. Turner of Washington, Mr. Harris of Kansas and Mr. Kenney of Delaware, all of whom took strong grounds for vigorous and instant action by the United States. Indeed, Mr. Turner took substantially the same position as that of Mr. Chandler, basing his demand for action upon the Maine catastrophe. Profound attention was attracted by a speech delivered by Mr. 'Turpie of Indiana, one of the members of the foreign relations committee. Scathingly he reviewed the Spanish conduct of Cuban affairs and declared in the strongest terms for interven- tion that would mean something—that would drive Spain from control of every foot of t tory in the Western hemisphere. The speech was a clear, concise statement of the position in which the country had been placed by Spanish “outrages, insults and crimes.” At the conclusion of the speeches on the Cuban question the senate re- sumed consideration of the sundry civil bill, the only important progress made being the adoption in slightly modified form of the committee amendment suspending the forestry reservation proclamation of 1897. siya The crowds which thronged the gal- leries of the house were disappointed. There were no outbreaks of any kind on the floor on the Cuban question. The whole day was spent on the pri- vate calendar with the result that several bills were passed, among them one to pay the heirs of John Roach, the shipbuilder, $330,000 on a claim which has becn pending a dozen years, and another to pay O. C. Bosbyshell, superintendent of the Philadelphia mint, $17,000 extracted from the gold vaults by a, weigh clerk. An evening session was devoted to private pension bills. Washington, April 7.—After waiting patiently in the galleries and corridors of the house for hours, many of them from 8 o’clock in the morning, until shortly before 3 o’clock in the after- noon, the thousands who had come to hear the president's Cuban message, turned away weary and disgusted at the delay. Never was there such dis- appointment at the capitol. The mem- bers felt it more keenly than the spec- tators, and for two hours afterward they stood about the lobbies discussing this latest phase of the situation. he news of the proposec armistice which came on the heels of the an- nouncement that Gen. Lee had cabled for delay received quite as much at- tention as the request of Lee. ‘The . debate in progress in.the house over the army reorganization bill attracted little or no attention, It was com- pletely overshadowed by the more ab- sorbing question. Considerable oppo- sition to the bill developed on the ground that its provision for an exten- sion of the regular army in time of war to 104,000 men would be inimical to the national guard and the volun- teer forces upon which the country had heretofore relied in time of stress. There will be a strong effort to re- commit the bill. In the Senate. When the senate convered intense expectancy, amounting to excitement, prevailed both\on the floor and in the galleries. The president's message had been positively promised and its coming was awaited with genuine anxiety. Ten minutes after the sen- ate convened consideration of the sundry civil bill was resumed, and with the exception of efght minutes consumed by executive session, in which Senator Davis announced that no message would be sent in, almost the entire session was consumed by the appropriation bill. It was practi- cally completed when laid for the day. Washington, April 8—There was a scene of great excitement in the house during the consideration of the bill for the reorganization of the army. —It was caused by Mr. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who made a vicious as- sault on the administration, charging that the policy of delay was in the interest of stock jobbers in Wall street. He alleged that Wall street was in possession of information that the message would not go in long before it was made known at the capitol, aud profited heavily by the advance in the price of stocks which resulted. He even charged that there was no war- rant for the alarming statements about the situation in Havana which were reported as justifying the delay of the message. Mr. Lentz’s cpeech created a protcund sensation and was met with An Emphatic Reply from Gen. Grosyenor, now regarded generally as the administration spokes- man on the floor, Mr, Grosvenor not only indignantly denied that there was justification for the reports, but held Mr. Lentz up to scorn for alleging cor- rupt motives against the president. Mr. Lentz disclaimed this, but the irate friend of the president gave him no mercy. He was thoroughly aroused and laid about him with a veritable bludgeon, charging that the Democrats were seeking political ad- vantage, and paying his respects to John J. McCook and others. Before he concluded he expressed ,the opin- ion that war was as certain as that war was as certain as that he would live until next week, unless it wes averted by Spain. The debate on the army Dill developed more and more opposition. Mr. Hull tried to save the bill by agreeing to strike out all its provisions, even the three battalion formation features, but it was in the end recommitted—150 to 61. The house adjourned until Monday. mee Some sharp war talk was indulged in by the senate. When consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was resumed, the question pending was the amendment of Mr. Pettus of Alabama providing for such improve- ment of the harbor at Mobile as would enable war vessels to obtain coal and other supplies there. Mr. Allison ot Iowa, in charge of the bill, made a point of order against the amendment. This called out a bitter speech by Mr. Morgan of Alabama, who charged the appropriations committee with dis- criminating against proper measures and threatened to assist in dissolving the committee. He followed with an argument showing the necessity for the improvement proposed, holding that it would open to the government in time of» war the coal fields of the South and enable it successfully to fight the treasonable monopoly that had been formed to control the coal supply of the country in the event of war. The amendment was lost. At 2 o'clock the bill had not been com- pleted and was laid aside, the senate devoting the remainder of. the after- noon to eulogies of the late Senator James Z. George of Mississippi. GOT OFF LIGHT. Five Years in Prison for Stealing $20,000, Seattle, Wash., April 10.—J. G. Court- ney and D. A.

HE LIKES WESTERN CANADA. Zas a Good Farm, Lots of Stock and Pays Little Taxes, Dowinion City, Man., Jan. 17, 1898. At the request of the Immi- gration De part- ment of *] the Cana- dian Go v- ernment, I zive the following information: I immigrated to Manitoba in October, 1892, from Luverne, Rock County, Minn., and took land in Dominion City, Manitoba, where I now reside. I have been very successful in Manitoba, and nave more than doubled my capital since I went to Canada. I took about 32,500 worth of wheat, 200 bushels of flax and 600 bushels of oats; I do mix- 2d farming. I milk as many as ten sows. Dairying and stock raising has paid me well. I have on the farm now 44 head of cattle and 18 head of horses, and sold during the past year, 1897, 3425 worth of fat cattle. I have good buildings and a comfortable house and good stable. My children have had better school advantages in Manitoba than they had in Minnesota. The dis- trict schools are very thorough and good. My son, now 16 years of age, is teaching the public school in our district, and receives a salary of $420 per year, All my children have done well at school. I have $1,700 insur- ance on my buildings on the farm. I also own my personal warehouse, and ship all my grain through it to the railway station at Dominion City. It is free of debt. I have no prejudice against the state of Minnesota, as I made a living and a little more while in the state, but would not take a farm as a gift in Minnesota and leave Manitoba, The taxation in Minnesota was too great. I paid taxes on my stock and chaiteis. No such taxes have ever been exacted in Manitoba from me, and my land tax is about one-half or less than it was in Minnesota.
