How to Remove Things

A bachelor says that kissing is
a good way to remove paint. That
may be SO in some cases, but to
remove a surplus stock and move
business profits up, an ad in The
Daily Tribune beats kissing, and
it does not go by favor, but is
strictly impartial and reaches
everyone in town.

DEPEW SPEAKS FOR CAPITAL.
Says It Would Profit by War With
Spain.

New York. March 2S.-Chauncey NJ. De
pew, who was POSTMASTER al the Repub-
war as his topic. and declared that instead
of holding back the patriotism of the
stand ready to uphold President Mckinley
in any step that he may undertake IN
maintaining the honor of the nation.
Mr.. Depew began the speechmaking- He
said that while the air was full of war
and rumOrs of war, he could not refrain
4 have heard it said" Mr. Depew con-
tinued, that the sOrdidnesS of capital IS
pose of the country. I have heard a
United States senator say that but for
the banking interests we would nave war
at once. Now 1 ask, is this SOP If we
were to have war, wouldn't the bankers
make more money than anyone else?
1T would cost US 500. co., 900 month to
have great war. To raise the money
there would have to be a sale of five hun
bred to a thousand millions of bonds, and
the banks would make S50O00.OOO on the
selfish interest they oppose war.
1T is because they look upon the dis
turbance to the business of the country as
far more disastrous than any profit from
the sale of bonds.
The railroads would have plenty of
business moving troops; the telegraphS
would be busy. and, in fact, all moneyed
interests would have something to gain,
would surfer most. as factories would
close and business be Frustrated
There are some rattlebrains VINO seek
to override President Mckinley, but the
country is behind him. for in the crisis
himself WITH WITH caimness and a courage
that have impressed all that he is the
master of the situation and that the honor
of the republic is safe in his hands.
In the approach of the great crisis.
when the report of the court on the Maine
is presented to congress, Monday, the
time has come for every patriotic man to
say. We stand behind President McKin-
ley
1.-THE issues of war or of peace have got
to be met as by one man.. 1 hope at the
beginning of the twentieth century that
there NAV be no war
At this point Mr. Depew. was interrupted
by Alexander Caldwell, who said;
provided the go men on the Maine
were not blown up by Spain. If they were,
we want war.
There was some applause at this sally.
Mr.. Depew closed by declaring that If the
president. who has all the facts and IS
the best Judge of the situa tor, decides that
was is necessary, to preserve the nag I'M
sullied. to extend aid to starving CubanS
or to extend free institutions, he knew of
no man who would fail to respond to the
duty of the hour.

MILITIA MUST GO
IfOrdered Out by the President for
Spanish War.

Springfield, Ill, March 2S-Attorney
General Akin has given an opinion re-
garding the power of the president to
compel the state militia to go to war in
case of an invasion, which applies not
only to Illinois, but to all other states
as well. According to the view taken
by the attorney general, the president
has that right Mr.. Akin was asked for
an opinion on the subject by J. H. Swan
of Chambersburg, III. His reply was as
follows:
Section H. article 2, of the constitu-
ton of the United States provides that
the president shall be commander in
chief of the army and navy of the Uni
ted States and of the military of the
several states when called into actual
service Of the United States.
Section a. article 5, of the constitu-
ton of Illinois provides that the COVER
military and naval forces of the state

the service of the United States) and
may call out the same to execute the
laws, suppress instruction and repel
invasion.
Section 1912, revised statutes of the
United States, 1878, provides that When
ever the United States are invaded or
in imminent danger of invasion from
any foreign nation or Indian tribe or of
rebellion against the authority of the
government of the United States. it
shall be lawful for the president to call
for such number of the militia of the
state or states, most convenient to the

SPANISH SARCASM.
Madrid Newspapers Ridicule Ameri-
cas- Preparations for War.

Madrid March 2S-El Liberal today
ridicuIes the idea of the United States
having any real intention of going to
war. Pointing to the defensive prepa-
rations reported in the American press
obsolete monitors being sent to pro-
tect Norfolk, New York, Boston, Port
Royal, Charleston and Savannah,
throwing up earthwOrl1s at Fort JEFF
ferSOn and arming them with long
range guns, making arrangements with
the railway companies for the prompt
conveyance of troops to the threat
ened points, etc=preparatiOns which
FL Liberal characterizes as Childish
it says: ''AII this looks much more as
though America expected war to be de-
clared against her than that she is
about to declare it against Spain"
In political circles all sorts of rumorS
are af1oat as to Spain having formed
powerful alliance. The truth as to this,
if there be any truth in it at all, is a
present known only to the government,
which maintains on the subject an i'm
penetrable silence Ell Liberal calls
attention to the growing sympathy
with Spain manifested in Europe, as
evidenced very eloquently by the press
in all the great capitals
FL Pals revolutionary believes
there is truth that Spain is entering
into an alliance with powers in spite of
the energetic denials of the govern
ment, and it states categOrically that
this was the sole reason for Senior Leon
Y COstello's visit to Madrid It be-
lieveS that before many days the result
of these diplomatic moves will be seen.
Ell Impartial independently today re-
marks that while thinking these rumOrS
of diplomatic activity much of fancy, it
is of the opinion that to some extent
they are based on fact. 1t adds:
1.-The expulsion of Spain from Cuba
would mean a victory for the United
States against the countries of the Old
World, and their Proclamation III the
Gulf of Mexico which will be the key
of the two oceans when at length they
are united by canal. These objects
have been steadily pursued by the
Washington government since the last
Cuban war. To obtain them the plan
has been to avoid the danger of a war,
but to tire out and drain Spain by stir
ring up internal strife.
1T never entered their heads that
Spain would recognize the autonomy of
Cuba, thus removing all pretense for
their further interference. This has
led to the altered attitude on the part
of the great republic, at the very mo-
ment when they had the least justifica-
ton for their course of action"
Interviewed on board the Isle de Pa
nay at Barcelona General August. the
new governor general of the Philippines
said he thought there was some import
ance-"but not very much''-in the re-
cent events there. If it be the sparks
of a new insurrectiOn he believes there
are sufficient resources to successfully
quench it. He proposes to be cOmpla-
cent and tolerant with those who re
main within the law" but he will be
rigid and severe with those who take
up arms or seek to disturb good or
der" He trusts to maintain peace by
carrying out a policy of kindness
without showing either weakness or
partiality."

RESTS ON YOUNG MEN.
They Must Do the Fighting Veterans
Are Not Fit.

Washington, D. c., March 2S.-''The next
war. whether it be fought this year or
ten years from now, will be fought by
young men who have had no military ex-
perience," said an official of the war de-
partment today There has been a great
deal said and published about the vet
Grams CT the late war forming the nu-
cleus Of the army that some of us ex-
pect to invade Cuba or defend our own
coasts; but as a matter of fact, most of
those veterans are barred from service.
In the first place they are too old, and, in
the second place, they are drawing pen
sions because of disability. Either of
these conditions would disqualify them
for military service"
Even if the veterans were accepted for
military duty, it is thought they would
not be able to withstand the rigors of
the Cuban summer climate. A few
marches would send most of them into
the hospitals or home on sick leave. The
war department expects, therefore. to de-
pend on vigorous young recruits, Differed
a far as possible by men who have been
seasoned by service in the west or vet
eran officers of the civil war. Among
the veteran officers were mentioned Cen
erals Miles and Merritt. whose robust
health fits them for active duty in the
field.

HOGUE OUT OF THE RACE.
One Candidate Less in the Second
District.

T. L. Hogue of Johnson county, who
was a candidate for congress in the Sec
ond district, refused to accept the delega-
ton to the congressional convention Sc
lected by the committee appointed for
that purpose at the county convention,
held Saturday, and Immediately withdrew
his name, saying:
Il decline to be a candidate for the Of
flee because the committee has betrayed
me-"
The report most generally accepted is
that the committee selected a delegation
which would be friendly to Mr.. Hogue for
a short time, during the organization of
the convention, at least. after which it
would line up with the Harris forces. Mr..
Hogue realized this and Immediately de-
clined to permit the farce to proceed any
farther, Withdrawing from the race.
On the other hand. it is claimed that
Mr.. Hogue was inspired with the idea of
becoming a candidate by the friends of
W. J. Buchan of Wyandotte county and
that he was defeated by the Harris men
on that account. It is said that Mr..
Hogue fully expected to deliver the dele
cation to Mr.. Buchan at the proper time,
but his intentions were rudely shattered
by the Harris men, who carried the day
Mr.. Harris seemed to be in the lead at
this time. Buchan figured on Johnson
county, but was badly beaten.

SPAIN WILL BACK DOWN.
Caprivi Says She is in No Condition
to Go to War.

Berlin. March Sex Chancellor Won
Caprivi expressed himself at length on
the Spanish-American situation to
friend who visited him few days ago
on his estate in Skyren. He said:
I cannot make myself believe there
is auv danger of the outbreak of a war
between the United States and Spain,
simply because am assured that Spain
is neither able nor willing to successful
" conduct a war at present. Even if
the worst should come to pass and the
Spanish government, despite the de-
pressing state of SPANS finances,
should decide to clash swords with the
United States out of consideration for
the lettering throne of the royal dynas
ty ignOminiOus defeat would surely be
in store for the Spanish army. Nor
would the United States need to fire a
single cannon shot. The Yankees would
come out victorious without having
shed drop of blood if they will only
prolong hostilities. Now as to the
strength of the two nations, 1 believe
that, although there was not much diff
ference between the two naVieS, the
wonderful energy and financial reSOur-
ces of the United States will result in
the accumulation of as formidable a
navy as can be shown by any of the
European powers. Not underestimate
ing the efficiency of the Spanish naval
soldiers, I am of the opinion that the
United States can recruit in short or
der a sea force which would prove more
than a match for the DOns.
Take it all in all believe that Spain
will recede before it comes to a war,
provided the Americans will meet her
half way with their WOnted broad
minded generosity

NEARLY RUINED.
Spanish Torpedo Boat Destroyer Bad
ly Damaged in a Storm.

ly Damaged in a Storm.
New York, March 28.-A dispatch to
the World from Waterford, Ireland,
says:
The torpedo boat destroyer Audaz,
though crippled by a gale is ordered to
Spain with all possible haste. She put
in here Friday with both bows smash
ed in, her stern twisted several feet out
of line and other serious damage, suS-
tanned While trying to cross the bay of
Biscay on the way from her builders at
Clyde's bank, Scotland, to Ferrol, Spain
Her collision bulkhead burst, but the
second bulkhead stopped the water,
preventing her from laundering.
Her captain intended to take the yes
sci to the Clyde for repairs, but the
government al Madrid deemed it i'm
portant that the Audaz should reach
Spain at the earliest moment. Therefore
the captain was ordered to take her to
Queenstown for temporary repairs to
enable her to make Lisbon or Cadiz as
soon as the weather moderates.
The captain said that he was eX-
tremely anxious concerning the fate of
the GadO, a sister boat, which left the
Clyde with the AudaZ and encountered
the same violent storm. He hoped she
had obtained shelter in some other port,
but there is no report of her arrival
anywhere.
The two new torpedo boat destrOyers
parted company in a hurricane. The
captain of the Audaz says he and his
crew had a frightfuI experience, being
battered down Is hours in a terrific sea
in which the AudaZ was completely
buried half the time. The men of the
crew have not been permitted to come
ashore here. The captain evidently is
afraid that some might desert reather
than face the remainder of a voyage to
Spain.
It is quite possible too, that they
might be subjected to hostile demon
strations from the people of Waterford,
where in view of the acute American
Spanish crisis, her arrival causes much

WANTS A FAIR DEAL.
Spanish Paper Says if We Want War
Why Not Be Frank.

Madrid. March 28-The Liberal says:
eff the United States desires to succor
the Cubans. the simplest means is to con-
fide the mission to the Spanish Red Cross,
which was recently helped in the same
object by France, Russia, Hungary, Port
ugal Venezuela and Argentina. The
Spanish Red Cross is well organized in
Cuba, and besides many members are
ready to go there from Spain if necessary.
However, if the United States wants
war let her say so frankly, and not seek
charitable or humanitarian excuses
The DiariO quotes the minister for the
colonies, Senior Moret, as replying to a
question of the ministry of marine, Ad-
miral BermejO, with the remark: THE
storm continues, but the barometer is
rising
This is regarded as meaning that the
situation is not so UnfavOrable to Spain
as it was.

A LOT OF NEW CAPTAINS.
Officers Placed in Command of the
Single Turreted Monitors.


Washington, March 2S-The navy de-
partment has issued orders today, plac-
ing officers in command of a number of
single turreted monitors which have re-
Gently been called into service.
Lieut.. r. @. Peck will command the
Monitor Lehigh, which goes to Boston;
Lieut.. w. NJ. Irwin will command the
MOntauck, which goes to Portland, Me. :;
Lieut.. H. F. F'ickbohem will command
the Jason, which goes to New York;
Lieut.. s. c. Richardson will command
the Nahant, which goes to New York,
and Lieut.. NJ. E. Hull will command
the Catskill. which goes to Boston.
These naval officers will be first in
command of the several monitors and
will be aided by officers and men from
the naval militia of Massac husetts, New
York, New Jersey and elsewhere.
The assignment of Lieut.. J. l. Jayne
to command the torpedo boat Rodgers,
announced today, in effect operates as
an acceptance OF this new boat and
brings her into commission.
She Will doubtless be added to the
fleet of torpedo craft already at Key
West
The navy department was advised to-
day that the monitor Terror had arriv-
ed at Hampton Roads, en- route to Key
West, where she will join Capt. Samp-
sons squadron. The Vicksburg has al
so reached Hampton Roads.
Secretary Long has deferred to the
judgment of Assistant secretary ROOse-
welt as to the color which the vessels
of the navy are to be painted.
Secretary Roosevelt this morning had
a conference with Capt. CrOwninshield,
chief of the bureau of navigation, at
which Mr.. Roosevelt announced that he
would leave the matter of painting the
ships to squadron commanders, and or
ders to that effect will be promulgated.
It seems quite likely that the color to
be selected by the squadron command
ers will be a dark green. That color
will furnish a poor target, and the yes
sells will not be discernible, it is said.
