Mckinley occupied his pew at the Met
ropolitan church this morning and list
ened to "A sermon by DR.. Hugh Johnson,
his pastor. which dealt at some length
and quite directly with the problem
which most thoroughly engrosses the
presidents mind. He took the Spanish
question for the text, and during his
discourse said:
Zone thing is certain, we shall not
have war unless there is absolute jus
LITIGATION for it. The dignity and honor
of the nation shall be upheld, and
American loyalty and bravery remain
untarnished as ever; but the calm and
firm attitude of the chief executive as
sures us that neither by prejudice. pas

bition will this nation be involved in a
deadly strife. Secure from invasion.

sources, with a people full of martial

San Francisco, March 1S.-The fol-
lowing advices were received here to-
day per the steamer China, from Homo

The natives on the island of Maui are
in a state of considerable excitement,
caused by the rivalry between the
kahului Railroad company and the
new railway line constructed in the in
terests of the Spreckelsville planta-
ton.
The employees of the latter 1t is al

company to cross its line. The work
was performed on the night of the LIST
instant by about 900 men who. 1t is
said. were working under the direc-
ton of the plantation management. 1t
is believed the government will act in
the matter. as the rails of the newly
laid track cross three government
roads. permission not having been OBJ
tanned for the work. Ii is understood
that the object of the new line is To
obtain a seaport terminus, where the
output of the Spreckelsville plantation
can be landed TO connect with the new
steamer line running in it's interest
Hitherto the sugar has been shipped
over the Kahului line in order To reach
the seaport. The plantation railroad
will now run clear TO the sea, where .

ment OF the Berlin correspondent OF La

peror William al a private dinner last
week declared: SO long as William

as to the support Spain is likely TO re-
ceive there (Berlino. This speculation
however is marked by an inability to
distinguish properly between moral
sympathy and material assistance, SO
that the slightest hint OF good VIII
thrown out by foreign newspapers or
diplomats is clutched at as an earnest
of impending alliance. But the pre-
yailing conjectures are very wild and
appear to be based on no concentrated
information"

IN THE HOUSE.
Postoffice Appropriation Bill and Con-
tested Election Cases.
thing else


Washington, March 13.-The pro-
gramme of the house this week as
mapped out would be completely
changed If any move is made in con-
nection with the Spanish crisis involv-
ing legislative action. But as at pres
ent arranged, 1t includes simply the
consideration OF the postoftice appropri-
alton bill and the Virginia contested
election case OF Thorpe Epps, with the
possibility that the naval appropriation
bill. which will be reported Monday or
Tuesday might be resumed at the tail
end Of the week.
There will be conflict for precedence
between the election case and the post
office bill, Chairman Walker of the cleo
ton committee and Chairman Loud OF
the postofiice committee, each firmly
contrasting for the right of way. If
Chairman Walker insists, the contested
election case being a question OF the
highest privilege. would have preee-
dence under the rules. but the house
by a vote, could give the postoffice bill
precedence.
The democrats intend to contest the
election case bitterly. as upon the deci-
sion in this case they believe will de-
pend the fate of the other two cases
from Virginia, another of which was
reported yesterday against the sitting
member 1t is expected that the report
of the committee will also be against
Mr.. Swanson, from the Danville dis
triCt.

ALL READY TO SAIL.
Work ut the League Island Navy Yard
Nearly Finished.


Philadelphia, March 13-There was a
general absence at League Island navy
yard of the usual activity which pre-
vailed last Sunday and the Sunday
previous. "A few workmen were busy
about the yard and aboard the ships,
but their work was of finishing-up
character. The Miantonomah, Katah-
din, Minneapolis and Columbia are now
all but ready to sail within day or two
if so ordered, and whatever additional
repairs may be necessary can be at
tended to Ell route. A few more men
are needed for the Katahdin and Min
neapolis, and a detachment of marines
under Lieutenant Fuller is expected
shortly to complete the Columbia
complement. All the warships are
coaled and have most of their stores
aboard, and about all that remains to
be done now is to replenish their stock
of ammunition. This will be done at
the government magazine, a short dis
lance below the navy yard, and all the
vessels will then be ready for sailing
at a moments notice. The Columbia is
anchored in the river and as soon as
her marines arrive will steam to the
magazine.

most rigid examination In conse-

and these are men who come up to

ity capable of executing gun work. The
officials of the Midvale steel works are

there. but it was learned that the ex-
ira forces of men have lately been
working on projectiles. No Sunday
work is under way at F'rankford arse

there to work 10 hours day, but what

ably been completed, for the order was

rounds, but during the 10-hour day this
