dent, and to remain available until June

Mr.. Cannon introduced this bill in his
individual capacity, but it was after a
most important conference at the White
House attended by Secretary Long, Sen
ators Allison and Hale, and Representa-
tives Cannon, Dingley, Boutelle and Gros-
yenor. The conference continued for an
hour and was regarded as most signif-
cant, in view of the developments Of the
day and the reports that the President
had given an emphatic refusal to the re-
quest for the recall of Consul General
Lee, and another to the request that re-
lief supplies should be sent to Cuba in
merchant rather than in war vessels.
While Senators and Representatives
we're specializing as to the meaning Of
such a conference, the answer came from
Mr.. Cannon when he introduced his bill
eppropriating $50 100000 for the national
defense. There was much excitement in
the House, but Mr.. Cannon said he had
no intention of adding to the excitement
throughout the country. The bill speaks
for ITSELF" said he. ut is an appropria-
ton for national defense and it gives the
President discretion in the use Of the
money. am not certain that we should
not always have such an emergency fund.
But Just now, with the strained relations
between this Government and Spain and
the talk Of war, it is important that the
President should leave nothing undone
that would strengthen the national de
tense. He is doing everything, but there
are some things which cannot be done le-
gally, such as the purchase of ammunition
for our navy, projectiles for our big coast
defense guns, coal for our feet, end other
things that have to be contracted for

lance may never be bridged. In fact
there are plenty of acute observers of the

of aggressiveness is a mere bluff, designed
for home consumption, and that the best
possible treatment of it was to refuse the
recall Of Gen. Lee and to refuse to change
the plan of sending relief supplies to Cuba

Meanwhile, too, the most energetic prac-
teal preparations for war continue in this
country. Ships are being fitted out as
rapidly as possible, crews are being en-
listed, ammunition is hurried forward. the
coast defenses are manned, transports for
troops are being prepared, the State Mi
litia are ready to jump aboard the cars.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Arley Ransome had not worked quite
so hard Of late; there was but little need.
He had achieved the height of his ambi-
ton; he had large fortune; he was able
to speak of his daughter the Countess of
Caraven; he could claim kinsmanship
through his daughter with some of the
noblest families in England. There was
no need now to work quite so hard; he
could linger over his daintily spread
breakfast table and read his papers at
his leisure content if he reached the city
before noon.
On this morning he had seated himself
so as to enjoy three things at once-the
beautiful view Of the river from his Win
dow, the bright fire in the CRATE, and the
recherche little breakfast that had been
served up to him. 1t was a sudden shock
to him when on hearing a sound, he rails
ed his eyes to the door, and saw there
pale. beautiful woman who stood wiring
ing her hands.
Father" she said, Il am come home"
In utter amazement he started from his
seat. His daughter, his beautiful Hill
dred, the Countess of Caraven, pale as
death, wrapped in a dark travelling cloak.
What could it mean?
y
said; but he had a horrible foreboding
that something terrible had occurred, and
that the days of his greatness had van
isheI. 'Come in-pray come in, my dear
do not stand there. How strange YOU
look Where is Caraven? Dear dear,
how odd it is! Come in, Hildred-the ser
wants will think it strange to see you
standing there"
She entered the room and walked up to
him with naughty mien.
This is the end of my marriage, faith
err" she said, calmly-'the marriage that
you told me could be happy without love.
This is the end of it, and l am come
home"
''Sit down, my dear, sit down; there is
nothing so horrible as a scene and this
looks like one. Take off your cloak and
your bonnet. What strange head dress!'
She unfastened the thick travelling cloak
and there in picturesque disarray was the
rich evening dress Of amber and black,
with faded crimson flower clinging to it.
The lawyer looked on in utter dismay.
This disregard for dress and appearances
spoke more forcibly than anything else
could have done-told more plainly than
words that something dreadful had hap
pened.
You have not quarreled with the earl,
hope-that is, you have not left him?"
He has sent me away" she replied;
and Arley Ransome's face grew very
dark.

Cubans at some date in the future. Here
tofore ali preparations made by the Presi-
dent have been for defense, for he has
recognized all along that war might result
in spite of all his precautions. Since he
has looked at the evidence deduced before
the board Of inquiry he has changed all his
plans.

ness and self-possession has been well

such an emergency"
| The bill is not simply private bill, it is
| an administration bill and an emergency
| measure. The situation regarding Cuba
! has become so delicate that it is recognlZ-
ed that war is inevitable unless Spain is
| made to understand that this Government
is ready for war and will not stop at half
way measures. The President proposes to
be ready for any emergency, and if Spain
wants war she shall have it, but she VIII
he driven from the western hemisphere.
She has done enough blufIing.
Although few persons viii openly admit
it, the feeling in the inner circles of the
administration at the time this is written
is that the country is on the verge OF war.
Conditions are such that an outbreak
seems unlikely to be long postponed.
There is good authority for the statement
that Congress will declare war against
Spain soon after the report of the board
of inquiry into the Maine disaster has
been made public.
The change Of front on the part of the
administration is regarded as significant.
Mr.. Mckinley, who all along had seemed
asking Congress to assist him in making
preparations for war, has thrown off his
Indifference and did not hesitate to re-
quest the emergency appropriation of
$50, 100000. The change in the attitude
Of Speaker Reed was even more noticea-
bic than in the case of the President. The
Speaker had set his face resolutely
against every proposed piece Of legisla-
ton which might be construed as intend
ed to prepare the country for war. Mr..
Reed had declared that there should be
no increase in the standing army and that
the bills for 1900 additional seamen and
the arnling Of the auxiliary cruisers
should never see the light~of day. Mon
day, however, Mr.. Reed looked and acted
very differently.
Heretofore the President has believed
that he'could bring the war in Cuba to an
erd by peaceful means. While not entire
IL confident that he could secure the peace
and independence for the island by such
means, he hoped at least that he might
secure autonomy for Cuba with the prom

speaks louder than any noisy vociferation.
In the presence of real danger of war
for no one denies that real danger now
e1ists-party lines seem obliterated and
every branch of the Government and ev-
cry man who has anything to do with it
stands squarely out for the preservation
Of American honor.
Though the war cloud darkens, it is not
believed by some that the storm is likely
to break very soon, although it may come
at any time. It Is long ways from a

ESQUIMALT AND HALIFAX.
Both Are Being Filled With Arms
Stores and Ammunition.

Ottawa, Ontario, Nov 22.-At the rate
heavy ship guns, quick firers, small arms,
ammunition, munitions of war and stores
for active service are arriving at Halifax
and Esquimalt it will soon be possible to
convert ocean liners into armed cruisers
and transports equivalent to the embarka-
ton of 10000 men simultaneously for any
points in the far eastern seas to which the
ships might be ordered.
There is apparently no intention to pro.
vide for movement of troops to any
large extent from Europe across Canada
by the Imperial highway" to Asia. On
the contrary, every indication points to
Esquimalt being utilized chiefly for fit
ting out cruisers and transports on sud-
den emergency, and Halifax as a supply
depot for the dispatch of supplies and
drafts of reinforcements overland to Es-
quimalt.
Facilities for the transport of troops in
large numbers across the continent under
the conditions the imperial government
would propose are not unlimited, though
means may be supplied at sharp mo-
ment to move as MARY as 10000 men,
baggage and supplies without much no.
