NEW YORK, Feb. pa Mail and

The mem bers are convinced that it

kept afloat. and the Spanish authorities
here will be informed that, if they wish
the wreck removed from the harbor,
they must attend to the work them
selves. This decision gives a better
idea of the terrible havoc wrought in
the Maine than columns of description
could
The Merritt Wrecking Company, it
was announced to-day, wanted S2,U0o,-

representative made this demand at

The wIeckers to-day turned their at
tention to saving the great guns. These
a least can be recovered in sufficiently
good ondition to warrant the effort.
Twenty unknown bodies of the crew
were recovered from the wreck by The
divers at noon to-day. The bodies We're
frightfully burned and mangled, and it
may be impossible ever to identify some

ARMY INCREASE BILL.
Favorab1y Reported by the House
Military Affairs Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-There was
only one vote in the House Committee
on Military Affairs to-day against fav-
orably reporting the Senate bill provid-
ing for two additional regiments of ar
tillery. 1t was delivered by Cox, d
Democrat of Tennessee.
There was an informal discussion of
the necessity of those two particular
regiments to man the coast defenses of
the country, and some general opposi-
ton was expressed by Cox to increasing
the appropriation. He contended that
in the event of war the volunteers could
man these guns. He also expressed the
opinion that reporting this bill, which
has been before Congress for several
years, at this particular time might be
construed as a direct action by Con-
gress in preparation for war.
On the other hand, 1t was commended
by those who declared that they did not
believe that war was imminent, that
the refusal to report the bill might also
be misconStrued. The sentiment in the
committee, however, was overwhelming
for those two additional regiments to
promptly man guns which are being
erected along the coast.

JUMPED FROM A BRIDGE.
A Travelling Agent for a Philadel-

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-Albert Henry, a

Before making the fatal jump he took
off his overcoat and left it on the bridge.
In the pockets of the coat was found a

these words:

tanee, was also examined. The name

from the wreck. Beyond this. no state
ment is made as to the value and ma,
ture of the contents. A large guam
tity of water ran out when the safe

The complaint is still made that the
electric lamps are Of little use to the
divers, as the light is faint and uncer-
tain, and to hold them takes one of
the divers hands. They have assur-
eddy proved of little value in the pres
ent investigation.
So far as reports made public go, the
workmen on the tug Right Arm. with
the assistance of the naval divers, are
laboring hard to recover the bodies
runder the hatch which led TO the fire
room platforms. 1t is hoped the bod
les will be taken out tomorrow.

Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first im-
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-of-door exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their b, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self-evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, If rightly applied,

line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex-
perranced. She has missed two years OF
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to a
newspaper man one day recently. My
daughter has had very serious time of it, .
said Mr. Barnes "but now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked to relate
the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. 1t was, of course, deli.
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.

had to take her from her school and hel
studies. She was strong and healthy before

Bryan, who was the principal speaker
at the banquet of the Democratic Club
in this city last night, was interviewed
by a state Journal reporter to-day
concerning the Maine affair.
In my opinion we should be slow to
act in the Maine affair, especially under
the trying circumstances which con-
front u.s. he said. Another fact which,
in my mind, impels US to exercise dis
erection, is that the official inveStiga-
ton of the explosion is now being made.
The United States cannot afford to be
too hasty in this matter. Internation-

ment were we to openly and maliciously
bring about strained relations by our
anxiety to locate the responsibility of
the Maine disaster. Nothing should
