There will be no trouble with

of the administration while dis
cussiug the cock aud bull story a,
bout an ultimatum having been
sent to Spain by this government,
which came via Paris. Continu
ing this gen emen said: "As a mat.
ter Of fact the Instructions given to

there cOulC be no rea, reason f,r

The trouble about that ultimatum
story is that it was altogether too
premature The Mckinley Cuban
policy to first try persuasion and
peaCeable methods of bringing
about peace with Cuba with the
consent and assistance of spain,
but if those methods do not accom-
plish that purpose there isn't the
slightest doubt of his intention to
use stronger methods, even to the
extent OF iorce, it necessary The
war in Cuba is depriving the Uni~
ted States of a trade OF more than
$50, 100000 a year, and it has got
to be stopped either with or with

isn't jingoism, it il merely meets
ing the demands of business men
who wish 10 trade, not to fight.
Secretary Sherman says there is
not word Of truth in tho ultima

1t has been very perSi5tently
stated in Washington tor some
time that neither Senator Hannah
nor the administration wished Sec
retary Sherman to make speeches
during the present Ohio campaign.
AS Secretary Sherman has until
this week said that he Intended to
go to Ohio aud take part in the
campaign not much attention has
been paid to the statements allrg
| ing that Senator Hanna an Presi
| dent Mckinley did not wish him
to do so. But those statements
have been recalled by an intima.
ton from Secretary Sherman that
he will probably not 60 to Ohio
during the campaign. The reason
he gives is that be services are not
needed there by his party aud that
it would Inconvenience him to go,
because his house at Mansfield is
rented out.

A GRAND SUCCESS
Was the Entertainment Given at the Merrill Insti-
 tutc Last Night.

About three hundred people were at the Institute last night to show their appreciation af the generous offer by the Pine Bluff Ordtorical Association.
 uThe people felt uncomfortable at first-from the heat-out finally the arguments became so breezy that it made the atmosphere very pleasant
 The debate was Resolved, That the United States has Reached the Zenith of its Power and Glory
 The affirmative side of this ques. tion was well taken care of by Messrs. Geo. s. Valiant and Beno Altheimer, while the negative was defended by Messrs. Kimbrough Toney and Ben J. Altheimer.
 The arguments lasten for one solid hour, in which time tbe par tfcipants put forth their points in excellent style and every word was spoken in oratory that can hardly be surpassed in the progressive State of Arkansas.
 Three judges were appointed, who were as follows: Rev. J. L. Caldwell, Mr. W. T. Young and Rev. c. Cor dan Smeade, and rendered doeis- ion in faver of the negative side, which, by no means, had 8 walk over because the affirmative put forth fine arguments.
 Mr. ". T. Young delivered an ad- dress in which he paid a very pretty tribute to the Oratorical Associa- tion. MT. John Alexander rend- cred an oration which was received with great applause.
 Miss Vickie Harrell, the "song- bird" of the South, rendered a very pretty piano selection, and was loudly applauded.
 The last on the program and the star event of the evening was the Reclamation which won Mir. Alex. Rowell the prize at Fordyce. Be- fore MT. Rowell rose to declaim ''The Black Horse and It's Rider" he had to wait a few minutes until the applauding subsided, when he arose and presented the crowd with flow of oratory that we know, and it was proven at Fordyce, cannot be sur passed in all Arkansas.
 Mr. Tom Atkinson, who was chair mao, then arose and made briei speech in which he asked all the young men of Pine Bluff to join the Association which is attaining high success.

Tle T,..ssiag of the carnae.


 Fossil collections gathered in old lake beds of eastern Oregon demonstrate that the broad plains between the Rocky and Cascade mountains were the original habitat of the prehistoric horse. a fleet little animal no larger than fox which in the long ago scampered over the lonely land. After the lapse of ages the modern horse is now to degenerate upon the stamping ground of his ancestors.

Over this section many thousand head of wild horses new roam as untram- meled as in prehistoric days, and during the past winter these perished in large numbers.
 It is a case of the survival of the fit test. The cayusa, like the red man, may read his does il the setting sun, but tho well bred horse can still look oivi lization in ihe face and demand shelter and oats in abundance. = Spokane Spokesman.l{eyiew.

AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.
4 Curious Legend Some Relies of Emperor
 NInrir.,iIinr,

 4 Curious Legend Some Relies of Emperor
 Maximilian.
 Queretaro was town before the Spanish conquest and was made a city in 1855. A legend of Queretaro is that an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia by name, undertook to convert the city to Christianity in way that seems novel to us, but was common enough to his day. He came from Tula with challenge to the people of Queretaro to a fair stand up fight. If he won, the people surviving were to be baptized. The challenge was accepted, but while the fight was ill progress a dark cloud came up and the blessed Santiago was seen ill the heavens with fiery cross whereupon the people of Queretaro gave up and were baptized. They set up a stone cross to commemorate the event on the site of the present church of Santa Cruz There is scarcely q church ill Mexico which has not a legend of this kind attached to it. The town is identified with the history of Mexico.
 Here the treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico was ratified ill 1918, and here Maximilian made his last stand ill 1867, was obliged to sur render and was shot. Everybody is in- ] terested in Maximilian mainly on ae- count of poor Carlotta. Maximilian was executed on the Cerro de las Campanas and with him Generals Miramin and Media. The place is marked by three little crosses of stone. The two gen erals were killed at the first yolley, but Maximilian, who had requested that he be shot through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded, and second firing was required to kill him.
 The emperor had been led to believe l that Carlotta was dead. She became in sane from grief and was kept ill an asy- lum for many years, but she still lives | and still mourns for her dead husband l and the loss ff her throne The United !! States government protested against the execution of Maximilian, but i'll vain. | Juarez refusing to spare him.
 There are all kinds of relics of Maxi 1 milan in Mexieo-the Yturbide thea ter, where he was tried and condemned, | the table on which the death warrant was signed, the wooden stools on which the prisoners sat during the trial and the coffin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently sent to Austria and | buried at Miramar. I confess l do not share in any sentiment of pity for Max imilian, who was all adventurer with | out a shadow of right i'll Mexico and took the chances of war. He was, it is true, victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and was very seurvily treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne ill Mexico, but to have released him would have been to establish . claimant for the Mexican throne. It was better that this man should die than that thousands should be sacrificed in the wars he would sure ly have fomented if he had been allowed to live. Philadelphia Ledger
