SENATOR HOAR ON THE WAR.

The venerable Senator Hoar, in thu
course of his speech in the war reso
lutions; had the following to say re
garding the spirit in which the wal
was undertaken. His is the ideal We
wish to hold up:
"When enter upon this war I
want to enter upon it with uni
ted American people-president,
senate and house, and navy and
army, and Democrat and Repub-
lican, all joining hands and all
marching one way. | want to
enter upon it with the sanction of
international law, with the sym
pathy of all humane and liberty
loving nations, with the approval
of our own conscience, and with
the certainty of the applauding
judgment of history. | confessI
do not like to think of the genius
of American angry, snarling,
shouting, screaming, clawing
with her nails. | like rather to
think of her in her honest and
serene beauty inspired by senti
ments- even toward her enemies
not of hate, but of love; perhaps
little pale about the eyes and a
smile on her lips, bnt as sure, de-
termined, unerring, invincible, as
was the Archangle Michael when
he struck down and trampled up
on the demon of darkness"

CERVERVA AND COAL.

Since the arrival of Admiral Cervera
in American waters and the attempts
of the fleets of the United States to
find him, the fact has been very prom
inently brought forward of the great
Importance of a coal supply in mod
ern warfare. The time was when the
sailing cruisers, like those of Paul
Jones', could be absent from their
base of supplies for months and even
years, provided only that they made
enough captures to keep the men in
food and water, Even during the

as ought to be the case, is constantly
J growing. It will be held Septembe1

has been literally revised. Specia.
attention is given to the live stock ex-
hibits, and efforts are being made tC
secure the best possible types of all
the breeds of each class of the domes-
tic animals. It will be worth much
to the farmers of the state to go to
the fair and study these animals; see
them Judged by expert judges, and
thus learn their characteristics and
Qualities. There are increased pre-
miums in the dairy department, the
woman's department and in both the
agricultural and horticultural depart
ments. One thousand five hundred
dollars are offered for county exhibits.
The main building will be made more
attractive than ever and the machin-
cry, honey, forestry and mineral ex-
hibits will each be given the careful
attention merited by these important
industries. The amusement program
is to be greatly strengthened as we'll
as the exhibition features. The bust
ness men of st. Paul have'contributed
a purse of SIS, 900 for pacingrace and
the business men of Minneapolis a
like amount for a troting race. The
contribution of these sensational

late civil war, many of the cruisers
carried auxiliary sails which were
used to save the coal, and in cases
when the engines might for any rea-
son be disabled.
Now all this is changed. The mod
ern cruiser does not carry yard of
canvas, but depends entirely upon
steam as its motive power. The coal
which furnishes this power must be
replenished once in every two or three
weeks, or oftener. When the coal
supply is exhausted, the modern
cruiser is simply heap of helpless
iron. With no coal at all not only
the ship cannot be moved, but not
even can the big guns be fired, for
they also are brought into position by
steam power.
Take the precarious condition of
Admiral Cervera's feet as an illustra
ton The principal coaling stations
in the West Indies are the following
points: Havana, Matanzas, Cardenas,
st. Jago and Cienfuegos, on the Gu
ban coast; in Jamaica at Kingston;
in Porto Rico at San Juan and Ponce;
and at the islands of St. Thomas and
St. Lucia. All of the Cuban and
Porto Rico ports are practically
blockaded by our ships, and the
Spanish cannot obtain coal at the
others as they are neutral ports and
can only furnish belligerent ships with |
enough coal to carry them to the near
est point in their own country. In this
instance, however, tits doubtful if any
coal at all would be furnished by the
neutrals. Then Spain must rely on her
own supply and it is estimated that
there is altogether only 10000 tons
in Cuba, of which $4,000 tons is in
Havana. The amount of coal re- ]
quired by modern cruiser, as the
ALFONSO XII" (which Cevera has
with him) is $50 to SIS tons for its
long cruise of over 5000 miles across,
the Atlantic. Its coal capacity can
not be over 800 or 900 tons, as none |
of the largest vessels carry more than
l 200 tons of fuel. The Spanish fleet
then must have it's supply 80 far ex-:
hausted as not to be able to proceed
farther than 1000 miles, if it can pro-
coed for that distance even.
But these calculations are made on
the supposition that the Spanish
cruisers steam at a moderate speed.
Suppose escape from Santiago and a
descent upon our coast were contem-
plated, when high speed were to be
maintained to avoid the American
cruisers. Then the consumption of
coal would increase with the cube of
speed, that is, while steamer would
use 80 tons of coal per day when 60
ing at rate of II knots per hour, it
would use 100 at Is knots, and 300
tons at 20 knots.
From the foregoing it will be seen
in what precarious circumstances
Cevera's feet is placed, and what
would likewise be the difficulty of the
United States feet carrying the war
into European waters.

AN AMERICANS CONCLUSIONS
Uuder Instructions to study the Philippine
situation. He Reports on the Advis-
ability of American Control

Manila, Sept IA gentleman con-
nected with an expedition under in
structions to study the situation and
conditions here and report concerning
the advisability of the Americans re-
tanning the islands has formed these
conclusions from personal investiga-
ton and conversation with leading
Filipinos, both of the insurgents and
those not allied with them; Spanish
officials, army, naval and civil; Span
ish business men, Spanish prisoners
and foreigners of all nationalities in
terested here:
The enormous wealth and undeyeloped re-
sources OF the islands are undisputed The
people are docie and easily managed and
would readily submit TO any government that
would control them firmly and protect and di-
rect them without the oppression and injus-
tice they suffered under the Spanish. These
people are absolutely untitled for citizenship
as the term is understood in America
The Filipinos would be unable to main
tain an Independent government. even in
the island OF Luzon, II they could estab-
fish IT, The Spanish would be utterly unable
at any time in the near future 70 discharge the
duty OF government toward life and property
In the island OF LuZon. The form OF govern
ment In the American territories prior to their
admission TO statehood would be impracticable
here.
This gentleman, an officer. has rem
dered a report embodying these con.
illusions, which undoubtedly express
the consensus of opinion of the men
best informed here and best able to
analyze the situation.

ALL EUROPE SHOCKED.
Assassination of Empress Elizabeth Causes
Deep Gloom Everywhere--Agitatio
to Wipe Out Anarchy.

Vienna. Sept. - The plans for the
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anarchist
Saturday at Geneva, contemplate
bringing the remains to Vienna next
Thursday lying in state on Friday
aud the obseq uies of interment on
Saturday Every flag in the city is
at half-mast and the theat tiers, races
and other amusements are sas-
pended indefinitely. The emperor's
fertitude Is the topic OF univer-
sal admiration. He Is bearing up
man1uIly, despite the terrible shock,
which, in view of his age, had inspired
the gravest apprehension. Although
at FIRST stunned aud then slightly
hysterical, he soon regained his self
control and displayed remarkable
calmness. Occasionally, however. COM
pletely overpowered by his grief, he
moaned piteously, repeatedly sobbing
the name of the empress.
Many of the prominent European
journals are again urging interna-
tional action against anarchists. They
recall that both the late M. Carnot, pres
ident of the French republic, and the
late Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Spanish prime minister, were victims
Of Italian anarchists The terrible
news has thrilled Europe from end to
end, and everywhere but one question
is asked, how can society protect
itself against anarchism? Special dis
patches from every capital describe
the effect produced, and newspaper
comments that palpitate with bitter
indignation that a defenseless woman,
who Stunned politics and did nothing
but good, should be selected at
the moment of the approaching
jubilee for the assassin's kife. Per-
haps the most poignant grief is dis
played in Italy, because the pu blic mind
there is touched with shame that so
many political crimes have been COM
mitted by Italians. A dispatch from
Geneva said ten friends and acquaint-
ances of the assassin had been arrest
ed. The assassin still maintains de-
FAINT attitude.
