The reason why Christopher Colum-
bus has not yet been numbered among
the saints may not be generally known
It seems that his beatifcation has beer
urged for centuries, but has never beer
decreed because his marriage certif
cate could not be procured, and conse-
quently his welded life, he leaving 9
son (Diego), was considered concubin
age. Now that the Congregation Of
Rites has recently discovered the miss
ing certificates, all obstacles are re
moved, and ere long we may hear o
"Christopher Columbus beatus."

cHINAMEN POOR HUSBANDS.
English Girls in Shanghai Who Wed
AIongolians Always Have
Cause to Regret IL.

A Vancouver dispatch gives currency
TO certain scandRlous stories current
in Shanghai, by which English girls are
represented as having formed the hab-
it Of marrying Chinese young men at
tached to the legation In that city.
There might be no great harm In the
marriage OF a Chinese man TO "a Cau-
casian woman II the Mongolian could
be educated up TO tho Caucasian matri-
monial standard. But the complaint
that comes from Shanghai is that the
Chinese cling with great pertinacity
to their Mongolian view of the mar
riage state. If the wife rebelled at this
view OF tho marriage relation the Chi
nese husband would lock her up and
when opportunity offered, sell her. An
infusion OF English blood In a matri-
monial form does not seem to have
much influence upon the customs of
the country. The English wives, sen
sitlVe as to the shame OF the lives they
were forced TO lead, would make no
complaints to relatives in England. In
most cases the marriage had been en-.
tered into in spite of the protests OF
parents, q circumstance which tended
TO silence complaints that would other
wise have been made. There Is abun-
dant ground for The conclusion that
the average Chinese does not become
a good Christian until the third OF
fourth generation.

The little girls, OF course, enjoy play

successfully weddings, funerals, din

our nttle people, they sometimes play
Doctor" and they can mimic pompous-
ness and peculiarities of all kinds. They
have children's parties, too, for which
the young lady of the house sends invi-
tations in her own name. Children, as
well as grown persons, have seals, and
these invitations are sealed with the
young lady's own seal in vermilion.
The parties are given in the afternoon,
and the guests begin TO arrive about
three o'clock, sometimes accompanied
by servants. The young hostess puts
on her lacquered clogs fastened with
scarlet thongs in order to receive her
guests at the top OF the steps, where
she bows very low to each, but does
not shake hands. All are conducted to
the reception-room. which is usually

cording 10 well-l1Eown rules Of prece-

being next to the raised dais at the end
Of the room; and all sit with knees bent
under so as to rest the body on the heels.
The little hostess, aided by an elder sis

serves her guests with refreshments;
and these consist Of the invariable tea,
sliced sponge cake, and various sweet

The Mar Chest.

New York. April S.-A. B. Hepburn
formerly comptroller of the currency and
now vice president of the National City
Bank. at No % Wall street. has returned
from Washington, where he was in con-
ference with President Mckinley and
Secretary Lyman J. Gage of the Treasury
Department. Mr.. Hepburn is an expert
in the science Of finance. His talk with
the Washington officials. therefore had
10 do with the sinews Of war.
Mr.. Hepburn assured the President and
Secretary Gage that the New York banks
and the financial men Of Wall street were
prepared 10 furnish all the money that
might be required for war purposes, and
to furnish il as fast as demanded and on
the shortest notice.
"AH the bankers and fnanciers who
have been in Washington recently have
given the same assurances" said Mr.
Hepburn. THE President is not worry
ing about the matter Of money. 7 talked
the matter over with Secretary Gage in
the same general way as you and / are
talking now. No figures were named; no
arrangement has been entered into or dis
cussed 1t is not necessary. When u cali
is made for a loan there will he an imme>
dlate response. 1t will be a popular loan,
believe. / don thlnk there Is any syn
dicate in process Of formation or 10 be
formed to take up the loan"
Asked ahoHt the public statement that
John A. Mccall had said that $500 00J go
was al the disposal Of the Government
whenever called for, Mr.. Hepburn said.
Mr.. Met all, I suppose, gave his own
opinion II the Government wants $JCC,-
Oo0. .00O New York city AN furnish the
amount promptly and willingly OF
course. the withdrawal of such a large
amount from the circulating medium will
not be required. Such withdrawal all
AT once would cause serious financial
disturbance. But the loan can be made
readily, and as fast as money is required
IL will be turned in. 1t will be expended
by the authorities and come back into cir
culation almost Immediately. In this way
the balance of the circulating medium
scarcely viii be disturbed"

EXODUS FROM HAVANA.
Ali Americans Amply Warned to Get
Ayyuy From Cibu,

Key West Fla, April s, a. ma mes
sage was received here late last night
from Consul General Lee, asking that
the Plant Line steamship discharge her
passengers here and return at once to
Havana to get more American passen-
gers. The Mascotte brought seventy
four passengers from Havana and only
a part of them were refugees.
Her passengers said that while every
thing was quiet in Havana. there was an
undercurrent of feeling thai threatened
trouble as soon as there was any possible
preteXt for an outbreak. The Mascotte
went on to Tampa. The Olivette left
Havana. She is expected TO bring away
most of the Americans who are in the
Cuban capital. Ample notice has been
given to all Americans, so that all who
desire to do so may leave Havana to-
morrow night, or Sunday. at the latest.
Gen. Lee will. 1t is thought come by the
Olivette on her return trip.
In order to accommodate the rush from
Cuba the Plant Line officers, at the re-
quest of the Government has sent its
steamboat Margaret from Tampa to as
sist in the transportation Of refugees and
to carry passengers from this city to the
main land She will reach here later ia
the day.
Beyond the daily drills nothing is doing
on the warships in the harbor Every
man and every vessel is ready and wait
ing for action. Every steamship which
arriye$ from the North brings additional
stores for the Government.

An Effort VIII BE Made 10 BcstTIc;
Debate.

Among the Americans at the Capitol
there was this morning a feeling OF JOY
that the outlook was at last almost GER
tain that Spain was to be punished for
her misdeeds and her misrule. Although
several of the little coterie who draw
their inspiration from the click of the
stock ticker are still prattling about
peace and the settlement of the subject
by diplomacy. their statements are not
made in that assertive and confident
manner that characterized their conver
Sati0n twenty-four hours ago.
The reply Of Senor Gullon. the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs. to the note of
the powers yesterday has shattered the
last hope Of the conservatives. As a last
resort they placed their reliance on the
Queen Regent. and refused to believe
that she had been overreached by the
cabinet until Senor Gullons reply to the
note was officially issued. With the
United States insisting and Spain un-
yielding these men have been driven at
last to admit with Mr.. EIkins that war
is inevitable. and that by this time next
week we win probably be in the midst of
il.
The Foreign Relations Committee Of the
Senate, which has been sitting almost
continuously, did not hold a meeting to-
day. There has been a great deal of dis
cussion in the committee about the ma
ture of the report which is to be made on
the Presidents message. Although no
positive action has been taken. a weaken
ing from the decided stand in favor of
the recognition of Cuban independence is
beginning TO be seen. The President has
been bringing the utmost pressue to bear
upon the committees OF the two houses
and it is said that on account of his
promise that recognition shall follow
promptly the committees may agree TO
his plan Of intervention without recogni-
tion.
The argument is made that Intervention
includes the other inasmuch as it means
the wrestling Of the island from Spain and
the ultimate establishment of republi-
can form Of government there. The Sen
ate committee has not been won over to
this policy yet.
An effort is to be made to prevent ex-
tended debate.
The committee hopes to report to the
Senate Tuesday and pass the resolutions
the same day. II the House should pass
them at once the President would then
not only have authority to proceed to use
the land and naval forces to carry the
resolutions into effect but would be di
rccted 10 do so The next step remain.
