Then Mr.. Porter's newspaper adds
that 1t is plain that congress is acting
not only without Justification. but in
defiance Of every principle and every
precedent governing decent and cour-
teous intercourse between we branches
of the government. There is only one
way to meet such an insult to the peo-
pie. inflicted through their chosen chief
magistrate: that is, to note every man
who has been a sharer in the outrage
and defeat him at any cost IL he dares
to offer himself for reelection after
this performance"
Manifestly this is not aimed at a
few congressman, but at the majority,
because. while sustaining the president,
it has not fully approved his plans.
In Washington they are not paying
serious attention to the Hartford
screed, because the congressman know

time scheduled for the departure Of
the train was IL o'clock. and 20 MIN
utes earlier than that all of the troops
were aboard. The Pullman car people,
however, delayed the start for about 40
minutes by the distribution of bed
ding, which had not been attended to
last night. The army part of the pro-
gramme was carried out on time to the
dot. Had the Pullman arrangements
been made promptly, there would have
been no delay whatever.
Colonel Burt was justly proud of the
showing made by his command. Pay
day was only two days ago, and the
men had all had money. but when the
call was sounded this morning, there
was not a man missing n not a case
of drunkenness. Every man., officer
and private was in his place and there
has been no attempt at desertion since
the orders to prepare for h front were
first received.
Lieutenant Pardee, regimental adju-
tant. will remain at the post for a short
time on account Of illness in his fam
lily. Lieutenant Shattuck and some OF
his force in the quartermasters depart

transfer the post property to the new
custodians.
There were two baggage cars, nine

WITH THE FLYING SQUADRON.
Various Plans of Action Discussed by the
commander

Fortress Monroe, Va, April 10.-The
fact hat this was not only Sunday,
but Easter Sunday. made no special
difference with the activity of those on
the flying squadron to-day. In addition
to the routine work on the Columbia
and Minneapolis, some of the new men
were drilled at the guns and the men
on the Brooklyn were kept busily en-
ployed taking on ammunition. All of
the vessels of the squadron are now
well, if not fully supplied with ammu-
nMion. despite sensational stories to the
scontrary.
A conference of all of the captains
of the vessels of the fleet was held this
afternoon on the flagship, presided over
by Commodore Schley. At its conclu-
sion thai officer said that the meeting
was held for the purpose of talking in
formally over various plans for action.
1t was said also that Senator Proctor,
who is here, and Commodore Schley
ad received notice of an alleged out
break in Porto Rico, and that the
squadron expected to sail in the morn
ing. Commodore Schley denied that
they had received any orders to move,
and the fact that he remained ashore
tonight was further confirmation of the
denial.
Commodore Schley said he had re-
ceived no orders to attach the ram
Katahdin to his squadron, but she is
still lying here. 1t is believed that
she will be left to guard the harbor I'm
conjunction with Fortress Monroe
should the fleet sail.

The powers crowded Spain to take the
first essential step toward meeting the
only demand made by the United
States. Finally Spain o the step.
The question is whether the president
may now resort to arms to compel
Spain to do hat which. In the eyes of
the diplomatic world. Spain has started
to do-all n the president has asked
her to do.
That is a question which the authori-
ties at Washington must answer. We
shall know the presidents part of 1t

to have charge Of the republic p~rovis-
ionally and to take civil ccntrol of
affairs on the island. Recently Que

present effort is to make II clear that
the republic has a government which
is entitled to recognition. This morn

Of the Cuban government. as
described by Quesada.
1t appears that, with careful regard
for all the formalities. a constituent
assembly was organized in Cuba in
September, 1895. This assembly solemn
ly proclaimed Cuban independence and
IL framed a constitution on republican
chosen for the civil government, a plan
was made for the organization and con-
troll of the army, a national treasury
was organized. the government for the
provinces was made complete, and this
government spread itself over two-thirds
OF the island Of Cuba. The regular form
OF republican government has been kept
up. The first constitution was designed
to be in force two years-the idea was
thai the war for independence would
end within that time. In the autumn
Of last year the constitution. practically
In its original form. was renewed and
officers were elected.
This is the government which Presi-
lem Mckinley has preferred not to rec
ognize. Where the pressure has come
from, what the motive Is or the
advantage may be, the public does not
clearly know. but the presidents fixed
determination has been to insist on in
tervention first. for the purpose of end
ing the war in Cuba, and to deal with
the question of independence afterward.
Congress, according to all estimates,
has a majority for recognition. But for
differences between the president and
congress along this line, the message
anticipated for to-day would undoubt-
eddy have reached both Houses last

New York, April 1o.-Work was begun

Sterling, which was recently purchased
by the government and is being trans
formed into an auxiliary warship. AT the

probability of war arose had given them

original terms of enlistment. This is the
first act of this kin in the history of the
service.

Michel Georgevitch Alaverdof. says

country to tell what he has done for
drunkards in his native Russia, and 10

has discovered in Russia secret herb

alcohol on M. Alaverdoff's prescription,

years from five to twenty bottles OF

+ The ameer passed his hand over
both members; then the secretary
turned and reminded him Of passage
in the Koran to the effect that any
thing touched by the representative OF
the Almighty becomes sacred; and the
ears were saved.
On another occasion, when the
ameer had before him dispute be-
tween three landowners and two tax
gatherers, he complained that as each
told his story the rest talked so loud
ly that he could not hear it. Finally
he called five soldiers, one to stand be-
hind each litigant and box his ears
soundly when he spoke out Of turn.
Then the ameer could hear the evil
dence.

Mr.. Moncure d. Conway, in the Athe-
naeum, writes on historical topic of
no minor Importance. In a recent let
ter to the London Times, where an in
terview with Bismarck is printed, this
is what the chancellor is reported to
have said: Frederick the Great was
the first European sovereign who rec
ognized the independence of the Unit
ed States" Mr.. Moncure D. Conway
declares this to be an amazing state
ment. He writes: while Louis XIV.
not only recognized American indie
pendence, but allied himself with 1t,
and sent over the officers, money and
ships without which that independence
might have remained a paper declar-
alton, Frederick the Great never ut
tered a word of sympathy with Wash
ington or with his cause, but Hessian
troops were sent over with Frederick's
tacit consent to crush independence.
Vain efforts were made by d'Alembert
to elicit from Frederick some opinion
about the American revolution" Did
Bismarck, asks Mr.. Conway, belisye in
that legend that Frederick sent
sword to Washington with the mes
sage: From the oldest general in the
world to the greatest" The conclu-
sion of the note is striking: There
was no such sword or message. 1
once asked Carlyle if he knew of any
thing said or written by Frederick out
OF which the legend might have grown.
He replied: Nothing whatever. There
is not the slightest foundation for it,"

Miss Barlow's tastes in literature
are widely diversified. She is great

rative as we'll as the deep, heavy stud
les of the more serious concentration
If mind, says the Boston Transcript.
She is warm admirer Of Mary e.
wilkins and Sarah Orne Jewett, whose
books afford her much pleasure and
interest. After breakfast daily the
novelist saunters into the heart Of the
country, and there is nothing she en-
joys more thoroughly than her daily
walk, calling on her return home for
her mail at the village postoftice. 1t
is we'll the villagers know the value
which their famous townswoman sets
on this short, delightful recreation,
and know, too, the customary routine,

and then a coin is dropped into the
withered hand extended toward her or
a word of comfort and good cheer Is
given to the disconsolate and oppress-
ed. Miss Barlow assumes an attitude
Of reserve, Of calm, quiet dignity and
cold indifference; but. touching sub
ject in which she is at all interested,
the veil drops and her true self Is re-
vealed, model of exquisite simplicity,
Invested of every shred Of egotism or
self-consciousness AS her interest
heightens in the topic discussed her
large eyes glow in warm enthusiasm.
Miss Barlow is much interested In the
higher education Of women. She Is
warm, too, in her enthusiasm for the
philanthropic work which our women
of the United States are carrying on
SO successfully. She has no sympathy
whatever with women's clubs in gen.
eral except where they tend directly,
both mentally and physically, to the
wants and comfort Of the poor and al
flicted. Her hearts deep sorrow over
flows at the cruel distress and abject
poverty Of the poor, wretched inhabi-
tants of the western part Of Ireland,
whom she says are actually dying oil

coming novelist during a long period
of conversation as to the best means
that might be resorted to to produce
timely aid for her dying brethren
She herself and few kindly disposed

Every Animal It's Own Doctor.

Animals get rid of their parasites by
nsing dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever, drink water, and
sometime plunge into it. When dog
