Dartment.

1t is Being Pushed by the State De-
partment.
All reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, it can be stated positively that Am
bassador Eustis has not notified the De-
partment of State that the United States
has no case against France for the i'm
prisonment of ex-United States Consul
Waller. On the contrary, the ambassador,
so far as is known, is pressing his request
for the production of the record of the
court-martial which convicted Waller and,
as indicated in the letter of Acting Sec
retary Adee, to Governor Morrill, of Kan
sas. the department is earnestly engaged
in pushing the case, and will not relax its
efforts to secure justice for the prisoner.
Mr.. Wetter, the United States consul at
Tamatave, who succeeded Waller as consul,
Is also working energetically in Madagas-
car to collect such a statement of the facts
in the case as the State Department de-
sires for Its prosecution.

in the room, and beside it a glass which
still contained a few drops of the liquid
with which Blumenthal had taken his life
The man left no money.

THE MORA CLABI.
Nothing In the Way of Comment in

Nothing IN the Way of Comment IN
the Dispatches From Madrid.
AS the negotiations looking to the pay
ment of the Mora claim are entirely in
the hands of Secretary Olney, at Falmouth,
the State Department officials here have
nothing to say in the way of comment
upon the news from Madrid contained in
the press dispatches. 1t is hardly prob
abte, however, that the amount of the
indemnity to be paid has again become
question for adjustment at this time, for
that point is regarded as settled many
years ago, and it Is surmsed that at pres
ent the negotiations relate entirely to the
time and method of payment Tine oppo-
sition to the payment of the claim re-
ported to be shown by the republican and
liberal elements in Spain may be accounted
for by desire of these members to give
some evidence Of loyalty to Spain in her
struggle with the Cuban, insurrectionists,
with whom they have been suspected of
sympathizing.

cavalry were due at Marysvale last night.
Army officials estimate that the infantry

New York Fashion Letter,

In the make up of the Summer wardrobe
for leaving town, the bicycle gown, or rather
the bicycle outfit, is such a important factor
that the choice of material and style is a
serious question, Mohair or ALPACA is a
favorite fabric and is equally desirable for
street and travelling costume on account of
its light weight Linen, duck and holland
in tailor form, with blazer or Elton Jacket and
dainty cotton or silk skirts are made up for
midsummer wear. For cooler days the
Norfolk jacket increases in popularity. Mo
HAIR also appears in the new bathing costumes
and is serviceable fabric as it does not easily
absorb water, The "Trilby" jackets, now so
popular are very pretty in mohair, lined with
bright colors and trimmed with revers of
velvet or silk, These jackets are made up in
the same material of the skirt as well as of
pique, embroidery and linen to be worn with
wool skirts. Fancy waists are more abund-
ant, more varied and more attractive than
ever The styles, fabrics and trimming with
their Dresden and Vatican effects are ideal
Delicate white toiettes are exquisitely
trimmed with Louis XIV ribbons and Marie
Antoninette berthas. Large Leghorn hats
massed with flowers of every hue add the
final touch of picturesque effect, In looking
over the new fashion magazines at hand we
find the Paris Album Of Fashion La Mode de
Paris. The French DreS@oker and La Mode
published by A. Mcdowell & Co., West 18th
Street, New York City, unusually attractive
this month.
La Mode de Paris and Paris .1lbum of
Fashion cost $3.50 each for years subscrip-
ton, or 30 cents a copy, The French Dress
maker is So per dnnnna, or 80 cents copy
and La Mode S1,50 year, or Is cents copy.
lfy ou are unable to procure either of these
journals from your newsdealer don't take any
substitute, but apply by mail to Messrs. A.
Mcdowell Co., 4 West 18th Street, New

Three Questions.

In Washington Tuesday evening J.
r. Sovereign, grand master workman
of the knights of Labor, IN a public
address, after discussing the Debs case.
counseled his hearers
to resist such uses of judicial power as
had resulted in the Imprisonment of Mr..
Debs. If they would do this there would be
no federal judiciary, whether that of the
Supreme Court or any other court, strong
enough to withstand them.
That sort of talk is so near treason
that the JOURNAL would like to know
whether it expresses the sentiment, es-
pecially the feeling of the knights of
Labor organ in this region, the Iona
coming Recieao?

JOURNAL would like to learn from ITS

of the Reciesc's pretensions as their

When it answers yes, the JOURNAL
would like to learn from the county
commissioners whether the Reyiew's
concurrence in Mr.. Sovereign's dan
gerous advice is the reason they have
made that paper their levy-list organ
on the creek 3?

The soft coal market is dull. There is
little spot business doing and the majority
of producers are simply working on their
years contracts, especially on those which
aggregate large tonnage to be placed before
the winter advances freight rates. The con-
tract season is not quite over yet, though of
course the bulk of this business has been
placed. Some producers recently reduced
their regular prices 5 or 10 cents to fill their
order books but have now restored them.
We continue to hear complaints in regard
to the cutting of prices in the all-rail trade,
which has been such as to force a number of
producers to seek other outlets for their coal.
Such contracts as are being figured on Just
now are less actively bid for than usual
Many sellers have apparently already secured
sufficient orders to make it difficult to COM
pete for these contracts at the very low
figures which have been named recently.

That Boycott.

Reasons are elsewhere given for the
JOURNALS omission of reference to a
family trouble and generally to small
mention of rows.
Another reason of failure to notice
the Dufty-Friel alteration last week
was-the paper had been issued before
the row took place.
But, gentlemen boycotters, you who
take fewer papers than any other class
in town, this paper is going to be run
without reference to you, or anybody
kin to you.
And it is going to make you sick and
sicker of the COW business.
In fact, as an answer to boycotting,
it is going to make a speciality of keep
ing you unhappy on that topic, and be-
fore it is done with it you will wish the
COW question had never been calved.

Begin with the Code.

a reputable citizen met the JOURNAL
Tuesday and had direful story to tell
of antagonism in his ranks to the JOUR
NAILS crusade against the predatory
cows.
Not only so, but the JOURNAL had
been denounced as indecent on that
account, and in the next breath they
thought of boycotting it for not giving
them last week in full the details of a
private family uproar.
But the JOURNAL is not the institu-
tuition they should be after. The
lovers Of the COW and scandal-mongers
should try their boycott on

,, The Maryland courts, and
3, The Maryland people en- masse.
All these precede the JOURNAL as
crusaders against the foraging COW,
and all should be wiped out before the

you feel like undertaking 1t, don't be-
gin at the tail-end.

Let Us Have it in Black and White.


1t seems that because Cumberland
has illegally and unjustly high school
that Frostburg and Homecoming should
each illegally and unjustly have one.
In this case it takes three wrongs to
make right.
Let us see how that notion works in
other respects.
l, Cum berland election expenses are
paid by the county-why not those of
Frostburg, Homecoming and Western
port9
., Liquor license applications for
the whole county are by law published
exclusively in Cumberland-why not,
like the levy list, printed only in the
Homecoming Recieo outside
Hence, If ga decision be Just" be-
cause Cumberland enjoys its advant-
ages, will the Reoiew also confess that
the laws which cut its town and itself
off from other benefits to which they
are equally entitled by payment of
taxes are also just?
The Reoie'o may be one thing toward
labor, another toward educatlon--ln
fact, it may "look two ways for Sun
day." but it cannot admit that a law
which compels Homecoming ADVERTISE
ment to be published only in Cumber-
land is just.
If it can, we would like to see the
admission in print.
