AprU The Host FOtefltG
l(9nth

In connection with the
present great national crisis,
it is Of interest to note that
April is the fateful month of
American History.
The war of the revolution
began in that month, the
battle Of Lexington having
been fought the 10Th OF
April,
Washington was inaug-
urated and our constitutional
government began April 80,
1889.
The war of 1912 was de-
clared formally on the 10Th
of June. but the first in1por-
tant act of our government
which preceded and lee to it
was the act passed April 4,
laying an embargo for nine
days on all British vessels in
American ports,
The occupation of Mexico
by this country began in the
fall of 1847, but the first
blood actually shed in the
Mexican war was on April
20, from which date the mil
itory history of the conflict
really began.
The Black Hawk, Chero-
kee and Seminole wars were
declared in April.
The firing on Ft. Sumter,
which ushered in the civil
war, was on April y, 1851,
and Lee surrendered at
Appomattox, four years Ia
ter, on April 9, Lincoln was
assassinated April IA.
And now the question, ,1ot
war or peace with Spain, the
gravest issue since the civil
war, is to be settled in April,
1898.

present no stranger series Of
condolences than these, =

Bill to Increase the Army Has Now

Washington, March 8.-The spirit OF
patriotism was rampant in the house
yesterday, and by almost a unanimous
vote the Hawley bill providing for two
additional regiments of artillery was
passed under suspension of the rules.
No effort was made to obstruct action,
but Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
pleaded for more time than the 40 min
utes allowed under the rule, and be-
cause 1t Was refused after the bill had
been passed he inaugurated filibuster
against District Of Columbia legislation
that continued all day. Mr. Bailey de-
sired to speak in favor Of the bill, but
could not get time. Mr., Cox, of Tonnes
see, and Mr. Jones, Of Virginia, both
antagonized the bill on the ground that
1t made a permanent increase of the
standing army. Mr.. Hull and the Re-
publicans refrained from referring to
any emergency, but some of the Demo-
crate who spoke did, and Mr.. Williams,
of Mississippi referred directly toprob-
able war with Spain. Every expression
construed into reference to the sup

A PRINCELY DONATION.

Duo de LOubat Presents Columbia
With Property W orth S1,1OO,OOO.
New York. March S.-Property valued
at N,1oO,0O0, having frontage of 125
feet on Broadway and extending
through to Mercer street, was formally
accepted by the board of trustees of
Columbia university at a meeting of
that body yesterday. The donation will
be known as "the Gaillard-Loubat Lii
brary Endowment Fund" and will be
used for the benefit Of the library. The
donor is Joseph f. Loubat, known in
the courts of Europe as the Due de
Loubat. He divides his time about
equally between Europe and this coun-
try, and when In America lives at the
Fifth Avenue hotel.
Though not a graduate of Columbia
university, Mr.. Loubat has long been
its friend, and has in the past given
1t many valuable donations in the shape
of books, manuscripts, etc. He has
been extremely liberal to the Roman
Catholic church. and Pope Leo XIII
made him count in 1888 In 1893 the
pope elevated him to his present rank,
and since then he has been known in
aristocratic circles of the old world as
the Due de Loubat.
The chairman of the board of trustees
said that the Loubat donation, with
the 100000 given by President Low to
construct the present library building
as memorial to Mr.. Lows father will
place the library on an independent
basis forever
