An Easter Scramble.

Easter Monday is the great carnival of
the year at Hallaton, England. Then the
Unreasonable and bottle-kicking take
place. In remote times, says the author
of "Old English Customs piece of land
was bequeathed to the rector, on condition
that he and his successors should provide
annually two hare-pies, quantity of ale
and two dozen penny loaves to be scram-
bled for on Easter Monday at the rising
ground called Hare-pie Bank. a quarter
of mile south OF the village. Usually
pies of mutton, veal and bacon are substi-
tuted for the hare.
The procession is headed by two men
who carry two sacks containing the pies.
After them come three men abreast, each
bearing aloft a bottle. Two of these are
filled with beer: they are wooden bottles,
iron-hOoped, with hole from which to

Senator Foraker said he would insist up
on early considerat ton of his resolution.
Mason (Ill.) followed the introduction
of the resolutions in the Senate with
vigorous war speech He described Wv
idly the disaster to the Maine. he said
that if ninety of the victims had been Sen
ators or sons of Senators we would not
have been forty days declaring war. Yet
THE lives of ali Americans were sacred
alike under our law and equally entitled
to consideration. Mr. Mason said the ca
tastrophe should be replied to vigorously.
He could not speak for others, but for
himself he was for war. This declaration
brought out vigorous outburst of ap-
plause from the galleries.
The Illinois Senator declared there
could be no peace SO long as a European
nation owns and butchers its slaves on
this hemisphere. He said it was not nee
essary for the Maine court to fix the re-
sponsibilitay. The law did that. If it
was a torpedo or a mine it was Spanish
torpedo or n Spanish mine. Hence Spain
must answer. He would oppose any pro-
position looking to indemnity. as he would
oppose making n diplomatic incident of
the catastrophe. He would oppose any
kind of autonomy or any plan TO assist
Spain, but his demand was that the Span
ish flag should be driven from the western
hemisphere. Neither did he believe Cuba
should be required TO pay an indemnity

Let us awake" said Mr.. Mason, in conclu-
sion, ito glorious war, as did our fathers

A storm has been gathering in Con
gress. Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning before the cabinet met the Presi-
dent was given to understand by leaders
in Congress that unless he interviewed soon
he would have the matter taken out of his
hands by Congress, which body has the
right to declare war. The President has
considered every conceivable plan looking
toward peace, but Congress will hear moth
ing but intervention for Cuban indepen-
dence. A Senator who is conservative
made the statement that the President
would be compelled to intervene for indie
pendence whether he wished to or not.
The revolt in the House against further
postponement of action on the Cuban issue
eliminated in a conference of Republican
members whose ideas are in accordance
with positive course. About fifty repre-
sentatives attended representing all sec
tlOnS. hepTeSeuldtlNe IlOphinS Oh lIlliolS,
a member Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, presided, and Representative Joy
of Missouri was secretary. The meeting
was called to take steps to secure imme-
date Intervention in some form and the
recognition of Cuban independence.
1t was pointed out that while it was fit
that the executive should be given. as he
had been, n reasonable time within which
to advise, it was exclusively the func-
ton of Congress TO declare war, commence
hostilities or take action of that character
The remarks made carried the view that
a mere recognition of belligerency was
not to be considered, for it would not of
itself bring a cessation of hostilities and
that Intervention, armed and immediate,
and recognition of independence only
would be considered.

nous procession whose march ended upon
the Mount of Calvary. There is an an
:iQuity that overshadows all, general
air of solemnity that makes one feel on
Easter Sunday in that particular spot of
the world as if in some way or other the
years had been rolled away, and all those
scenes of which millions have read were
about to be re-enactcd.
Jerusalem is the ideal city of all others
for the celebration of the Easter festival.
Christ stood upon the hill of Calvary 1,S9S
years ago. and looked down upon the town
| where he had labored and been betrayed.
That was the first Easter morning, and
since then every year, kind and loving

Of all times, all creeds, and all races have
left some token in honor of the day at

by the memories of the Son of Man.

ulcher. is covered with the lilies which
are used all over the world. The Mount

The archways under which tradition tells

spot of crucifiyion are standing just as
they stood fully 2,200 years ago.
Although nearly nineteen centuries have
elapsed since Christ passed from among
men, the city of Jerusalem does not eX-

This Garden of Gethsemane where the

feet long and $50 feet wide. 1t is cared
by a colony of Franciscan monks, who
spend much time beautifying it. The
Bible says: ''In the midst of the garden
was the sepulchre," and the students of
Biblical events generally acknowledge
that it is here Christ was buried. The
place is beautifully adorned with hedges
and kept in exquisite order by the monks.
The Easter celebrants are also almost
sure to visit the bunch of seven venerable
olive trees, some of them nineteen feet in
circumference. and so old that their
trunks are shored up with stones. These
are trees believed to be the descendants
of those which existed upon the same spot
at the time Christ lived in the world. This

drink. The third bottle is dummy, and,
of course, empty. Occasionally a hare
is carried in a sitting posture, mounted on
the top of pole.
The procession increases greatly in num-
bers as it approaches Hare-pie Bank,
where the pies, which are already cut up.
are pitched out of the sack and scrambled
for. The spectators amuse themselves by
throwing the contents of the pies at each
other. Then follows the Hallaton bottle
kicking.
One of the large bottles containing ale
is thrown into the circular hollow on the
mound. and the Melbourne men" try TO
wrest it from the Hallatonian grasp. A
fierce contest then ensues. in comparison
with which football scrimmage is mere
child's play. The Hallatonians strive to
kick the bottle to their boundary line over
the brook adjoining the village, while their
opponents endeavor to convey it toward
the melbourne boundary. The victors Of
course claim the contents of the bottle.
The dummy is then fought for with
unabated zest, for the Hallaton people
boast that this has never been wrested
from them. The third bottle is taken in
triumph to the market-cross, and its con-
tents drunk with accustomed honOrs. The
bottles are carefully kept, and those now
in use have done duty for more than thirty

own business and not NEEDLE with the af-
fairs of Spain. Spain will not submit
to dictation from this government in the
affairs of Cuba. She will leave Cuban af-
fairs to the Cuban Parliament and she
will consider the question of amnesty
when the insurgents ask for it. The Span
ish note answering the demands was tel
egraphed from Madrid to the powers, to-
gether with copy of the American de-
mands.
In this note Sagasta sweeps away all
his diplomatic pretensions of desiring the
help of the United States in settling the
Cuban question and insolently tells the
President to keep his nose out of other
peoples business. This reply from the
Sagasta ministry was rather stunning. but
it was no surprise to the members of the
cabinet who have for some time urged
determined action AID expressed distrust
of Spains Dretensions of desire to end
the war and settle the Cuban question in
a way to satisfy the American people.
Sagasta also added insult to presump-
ton and offered to arbitrate the question
of the Maine. This was more than the
President could endure with patience. He
had made no demand upon Spain, but had
sent to Sagasta the findings of our court
of inquiry, and left to his own sense of
honor the offer of way for treatment of
this question without that of war. But
Sagasta's only reply is that he will submit
this question to arbitration. 1t seems ap-
parent at this writing that Sagasta is
ready to end all the differences between
this government and Spain with war, and
hopes to provoke war by insult.
The President is done with diplomatic
consideration of these questions. Con-
gress, the war-making power, will deal
with it.
President Mckinley will not unite with
Spain in an effort to relieve distress in
Auba. Spain's appropriation of 100000
to feed the starving Cubans at this late
day is regarded here as only bluff, with
no intention of spending dollar for that
purpose. Sagasta realizes that this gov
ernment will intervene in Cuban affairs.
drive Spain from the island. and then re-
lieye the starving people. The only Ques
ton to embarrass the administration in
its program of Intervention is a request
that is said to have come from the insur-
gents, that this government simply recog
nize Cuban independence and leave to
the insurgents the business of driving
Spain out of the island.
The Cuban situation has now become
such that this government cannot stop
at simply recognition of independence
without making that independence secure.
1t cannot recognize the Cubans as indie
pendent and then leave them to starve as
they have been starving for the last year.
And, since Sagasta has failed to realize
the Presidents hope that Spain would Of
fer some honorable way of taking the
Maine question out of the situation, there
was no way of meeting it except by allow
ing Congress to take it up with the Cuban
question. All the evidence points direct
ly to Spanish treachery in that disaster.
