while the Republicans in Congress were
divided the Democrats were solid for

this Republican war; for the people
know what and whose war it is.

MINES OUT OF FIX.
Two Whole Sections of New York S
Submarine Dafenses Failed to Re-
spond.

New York, May 6-The Herald says:
Forty-two single mines, or two grand
groups planted in the harbor off Will
let's Point and Fort Schuyler, failed to
respond to their cables when they were
tested in the firing chambers at Will
let's Point. Upon closer inspection it
was found that the mines We're thor
oughly out of order.
They will all have to be taken up and
overhaued and replanted. This means
two weeks of extra wcrk to the men,
who have been working seven days a
week until dark.
The cause of it all is the action of
vessel captains who have disobeyed the
instructions issued and have taken any
course they chose instead of the one
set off by the buoys The passing YES
sells struck and injured the mines.
One of those captains who have been
recklessly disregarding the new harbor
regulations for this port, for vessels to
avoid the mine fields. received a rude
shock to his nerves during the night,
when blank shot was fired at his
schooner from the battery at SandyHook
as the vessel was passing over the mine
field in that neighborhood The shot
was a warning that the authorities in
tend to compel obedience to the regu-
lations hereafter

FRANCE ANDHER CAPTURED SHIP.

1t was evident that France wanted
to act ugly about the capture of her
trans Atlantic liner Lafayette, which
tried to run the Havana blockade
Her immediate release. however, ends
the incident
The truth probably is that the
French government would be glad OF
an excuse to switch the volatile French
mind which is now excited and di-
vided for and against the government
almost to the point of outbreak over
the DreyfusZCla affair. onto another
tack, in the hope that they might for
get Dreyfus and lola and the anti
Jewish crusade if given something
else to get excited about in the shape
of foreign foe. And it is just within
the bounds of possibility that the
French government thus deliberately
planned TO pick quarrel with the
United States. not only for the purpose
mentioned. but for the further reason
that its sympathies and financial in
terests are with Spain, and this cap
ture would furnish pretext for aiding
Spain under the guise Of protecting its
| own commercial rights

The governors of many States have Wis
tied the Treasury Department within the
past week to look after the adjustment
of claims against the Government con-
nected with the enlistment of troops.

bitterly resented by the visiting COVER

their declared purpose to act if necessary
in concert TO the end that States rights
