MAKING READY FOR SEA.
New York Ordered To Be Ready
At a Moments Notice
For a Voyage.

New York, May 10 Orders
have been sent TO Rear Admiral
Montgomery Sicard to have his
flagship, the New York, made
ready to go to sea from New
York at a moments warning,
according to Washington dis
patch TO the Herald. She is to
fill up with coal to her full Ca
pacity.
The haste with which she is
to prepare for sea may be judg
ed from the fact that although
she needs only about seventeen
tons to fill the bnnkers TO their
full capacity, this amount of
fuel will be hurried on board
today and tomorrow. The New
York's engines have been taken
apart and she is undergoing a
general overhauling OF her
motive machinery at her NOR
ings off Tnmpkinssille, S. l.,
but the engineering force of the
cruiser is doubtless already at
work putting the engines to
gether and it is believe that
she will be reaoy for sea by
Monday next.

BULL FIGHTS STOPPED.

Mexico City. May 16.-The
city government forbade any

The authorities claim the bulls
provided for the fights are so
poor they do not justify the
price of admission asked by
the management. Enrique
Meriro, a Spanish bull fighter,
has visited the famous bull
breeding farms of Antencio and
other places. The poorness of
the animals is getting to be a
serious matter, and it begins to
look as.if bull fighting would
stop for lack of animals to fight.
The government is firm, and no
performance will be allowed
with inferior cattle. A shipload
of bulls has been ordered from
Spain TO meet the emergency.

A FARMERS DREAM.

Once a farmer had 1900 bush
els of wheat, which be sold, not
to single grain merchant, but
TO 1900 different dealers, a
bushel each. A few of them
paid him in cash, but far the
greater number said it was not
convenient then, but would pay
later. A few months passed,
and the mans bauk account
ran low. "How is ihis2' he said.
my 1900 bushels Of grain
should have kept me in af
fiuence until another crop is
raised, but [ have parted with
the grain and have instead only
visible number of accounts,
SO small and scattered that /
can not get around aud collect
it fast enough TO pay expenses. !"
So he posted up a public no
tice and asked all those who
owed him to pay quickly. But
few came. The rest said, milne
is only a small matter, and l
will go and pay one Of these
days." forgetting that though
each account was very small,
then all put together meant a
large sum TO the man. Things
went on thus, the man got 10
feeling so badly and rolled and
tossed about SO much in his IF
forts TO collect that he fell out
of bed and awoke, and running
to his gFanary found his 1900
bushels of wheat still safe
there. He had ouly Dren dream
ing, and had not sold his wheat
at all.
Moral-The next day the
man went to the Publisher OF
his paper, and said: Here, sir.
is the pay for your paper, and
when next years subscription
is due you can depend on me-
TO pay ii promptly. I stood in
the position of editor las, night,
and / know how il feels to
have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the

4 SENSIBLE POLICY.

There is nothing in the least sensa-
tional about the policy of the admin
istration regarding Cuba, as announc-
ed with an appearance of authority
by Senator Foraker. 1t is simply to
find out, by the inquiries of special
and confidential Commissioner sent
to Cuba for the purpose, precisely
what the state Of things in the island,
and then to determine what the prop
er course is for our government to
pursue.
Tt seems to be the idea of some of
the Senators who participated in the
deba tie that there is sufficient infor-
nation in the newspapers to furnish
basis for official action. AS Senator
Mills put it, "The Senate can get all
the information it needs from the
same sources as other people, from
the newspapers and the like" This
idea of basing the official action of
great government on a question in
volving the possibility of war upon
the dispatches in sensational news
papers, is something new in parlia-
mentary discussion; and by acting on
it, the Senate has more than
once made itself laughing stock. If
the thirty or more Cuban resolutions
which have been gravely debated in
the Senate were to be collated, they
would make collection which would
arouse hilarity in the most sombre
mind. These resolutions have been
based on all manner Of lurid and ly-
ing dispatches, and more than once
the statements set forth in them have
been disproved while the Senatorial
eloquence was still echoing through
the chamber.
1T would be absurd and mischievous
if Congress were to force the Presi-
dent to consider such a resolution as
that under discussion at the very time
when he is acting zealously and in
good faith to ascertain the exact truth
as to Cuba. The re is not the slight
est reason to doubt that President
Mckinley will act with sufficient re-
solution when the facts are known
and the time for action comes
