THE NINE AND THE MESSAGE.

COUNTRY LOOKS TO CONGRESS.
Chicago Chronicle.
The President sent his message to
both Houses. Accompanying the copy
sent to the Senate was the full report
of the court martial and all the testi-
mony taken by the court. The appre-
hension that there might be an attempt
10 suppress the testimony was not
realized. The expressions OF public
feeling in and out of Congress had
been so strong that the President was
warned against any attempt to trifle
or palter with the case
The country expects Congress to act
firmly, decisively and without delay.
There would have been serious trou-
BILE il the President had attempted to
balk or obstruct the action of Congress
by Withholding the testimony that
should tend to place on the right shout
ders the awful responsibility for this
disaster In each house the message
was referred to the Foreign Affairs
Committee without debate.

WHAT WILL WE DO?


The strain Of suspense upon the
American people is great. This is be-
cause the Americans are patriotic
people. and the question at issue in
the Maine case is one of the destruc-
ton Of an Amercina warship and the
killing of 266 American sailors by
treacherous foreigners in foreign
port. The shedding of American blood
and the outrage on the American flag
have. not unnaturally moved the
American people to profound nation
al emotion.
The people of the United States ask
that there be no unnecessary delay in
formulating this line of action. With
the Maine report and testimony sub
mitted to Congress, the time has come
for the President and Congress to an
swer that grim and solemn question:
What are you going to do about it?"
The people have made up their minds
that Spain must release an island
which cannot govern. If she will re-
linquish peacefully her claim to rule,
so much the better If not, it is the
duty Of the United States to drive her
barbarism from the soil of Cuba.

THE LAST STEP But ONE.

This country and Spain have moved
one step nearer to the edge of war 1t
is the last step but one-rhe resort to
arms. There is only one thing now
which can prevent the taking up Of
arms by this country in conflict
which will mean the end of the Span

". perhaps in the other. 1t is the vol
untary withdrawal from Cuba of the
Spanish army without delay, the imme-
date acknowledgement by royal and

won and received its independence.

Dendence of the Republic of Cuba, and

WYOMING GRAPHITE BEDS.
The Largest Body OF This Useful Ma.
terial Known.

Denver Republican: Work Gas com
menced yesterday on the big graphite
deposit Of Wyoming, located in Halleck
canon, twenty miles north OF Wheat
land. This discovery was made last
year by John Charles Thompson, and
is claimed by Mr.. Thompson to be the
largest deposit Of graphite in the
world. Three veins were found-one
wide, and tests Of the surface material
made in the east showed it to contain
60 per cent pure carbon. No develop
ments have been made as yet, but
Charles Bellamy of Laramie, a mining
engineer and part owner Of the prop
erty. has taken a force of men to the
mines to make a thorough investiga-
ton. 1t is proposed to sink a shaft at
least thirty feet, in the hope Of reach
ing a solid body of the material that
has not been deteriorated by having
impurities dashed in the surface wa
ters. 1t is believed by the that
the three veins found on the surface
unite. and that when depth has been
gained the greatest mass of graphite
ever known will be uncovered. The
lower grades of graphite are used fol
water proof paints. lubricants. stove
polish and a number of other purposes
and the best quality for lead pencils
etc. 1t is also largely used for max.
ing carbon points for arc lights. 1t IL
thought that the opening of so large Q
body so convenient to railroad trans
portation will have the effect OF caus'
ing the supply for the western part Of
the country to be drawn from this
source.

"SCda Bottling Works and Location of
Medicine Bow.

The "old resident" mentioned below,
or the Denver Times reporter who
wrote the article must have been cele-
brating the advent of peace yesterday.
The Times publishes the following:
1.-THE people of Laramie, Wyo., have
a great big kick coming" said an old
resident of that town at the Columbia
hotel this morning. THE Union Pacific
shops shut down last March and the
business activity of the place was para
lyZed. Now the road is going to kill
the place altogether. Laramie has suf-
fered for a long time from the exorbi-
tant rates which the road has charged,
and the glass factory and soda bottling
works had to suspend operation. The
next move is to cut off Laramie as a
dividing station and run trains through
to Rawlins without change Of engines
and train rev The plan is to build
the main line OF the Pacific around the
Sherman grade and cut Medicine Bow
from the line OF the road. II this grade
is avoided the change OF engines and
crews ON the run to Rawlins will be I'M
necessary and Laramie will be the
loser"

IRRIGATION SUIT.
Big Laramie Ranchmen Will Fight For
Their Water.

A dispatch from Cheyenne to the
Denver News says
d. c. Bacon, ESQ.,, of Laramie. u
prominent stockgrower of the Laramie
plains, who was in the city yesterday
in conference with State Engineer
Mead. say the stock and ditch owners
along the Big Laramie are preparing to
institute proceedings in the United
States court to test the right of the
ditch company in Colorado to divert
the head waters of the Big Laramie
river. which flows INTO Wyoming. into
a neighboring stream which flows
south into Colorado.
The division of the waters OF the
Laramie, II permitted. will deprive ir-
rigators on the Laramie plains Of
water which they have been having the
benefit OF for years. The legal contest
will settle a very doubtful legal ques-
ton Of interstate rights.

ANOTHER REVENUE RULING.

A ruling OF interest to grocerymen
and other dealers in commercial soda
was received by Internal Revenue Col
lector Howbert this morning in a let
ter from Commissioner Scott. The
commissioner rules that all brands OF
soda which are to be used solely for
domestic purposes, such as the anu
facture Of breadstuffs, ETC.. are not sub
ject to the special a imposed by the
war event law, but that all brands
Of soda intended for cleansing or medi-
cinal purposes are taxable under the
new law. He cites as examples two
well-known brands OF soda, Of which
one Is taxable and the other is not. The
brand which is subject ITO the tax is ad-
vertised on the label as a remedy for
collie in horses and other animals, and
as being beneficial to the human race
as a remedy for slight stomach trou-
bles.
The commissioner has ruled that all
time checks given by employers to their
employees and calling for the payment
Of their face value in cash, are taxable.
