Board of Trades Work,

The board of trade, recognizing the evils
of the gambling communities so close to
Washington, began an active crusade some
time ago that was extremely beneficial A
committee of local business men personally
visited Richmond and had a long confer
ence with Gov. O'Farrell, relative to the
matter The result was that the governor
Rosslyn and Alexandria, and the crusade
against crime and gambling that he inau-
guratad resulted in the breaking up of a
number of places, saloons and gambling
houses. The arrests and convictions made
seemed to have a good effect and for a
time everything was quiet.
The location of the new county court
here on the hills beyond Rosslyn is ex-
pected to be good thing for the village
With a Jail so close and the courts con-
veniently situated the reign of law and
order can be enforced better than ever
the culprits always having the Jail staring
them in the face The dedication of the
new court house and Jail will shortly oc-
eur, and the event will be warmly well
coined
A resident of Rosslyn this morning in
formed a Star reporter that most of the
trouble in the village was caused by George
town toughs, who came over the bridge
every Sunday to get something to drink.
After they became filled up they want 10
fight and cause trouble. All drunks arrest
ed Constable Gaines walks to the bridge
and orders them over to Georgetown, and
at the GEORGETOWN end Policeman Brown
takes them in charge and sends them to
the station. This condition of affairs does
not seem to be entirely satisfactory

The loss to Milwaukee involved in the
permanent departure of this clergy
man will be felt by the hotel-keepers
the lake and rail transportation com
panies, by fugitive and other varieties
of foolish lovers in two states, and by
quite a number of hack drivers. The
newspapers, also, must confess sense
of loss in being deprived of source
of much mystery and of some sensa-
tional news. A preacher who has re-
ceived for a period of several years a
greater amount of money in the form
of fees for marriages, many of the
clandestine sort, than he derived in sal
airy as pastor of the flock Of one of the
prominent city churches cannot go
without being promiscuously missed.

outlining course of action which this
government shall pursue toward
Spain with reference to Cuba so far

recommend the adoption Of resolu-

the recognition Of the independence Of

for the Intervention by the United
States with her army and navy for the
purpose of assisting the Cubans to Sc
cure independence in case Spain con-
tinues to refuse to concede it. The
committee will report on Monday, un-

been impossible for the president to

Chicago. April 3. - A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
From one of the senators who has
been III consultation at the White
House two or three times day ever
since the situation became critical the
following statement has been OBJ
tanned: 1.-The president is tsat-footed
on the proposition that Spain must
move out bodily. He also knows that
Spain cannot, or Mt least will not, con-
sent to this complete abandonment.
That means war. The president
squarely faces that. He is not ready.
He recognizes certain serious un-
preparedness. Mckinley feels he
would be guilty of great negligence il
the deficiencies be not made good be-
fore we are plunged into war. Had
he not felt so matters would have
been advanced to point where the
United States could have stopped the
coming of the torpedo fiotilla. This
fact will manifest itself Monday or
Tuesday when the naval and military
committees in the house and senate
will support the president. The com
mittees will be given information
which the members should know that
will have tendency to sober them
up a bit. In discussing this phase Of
the matter the speaker quoted state
ments of cabinet ministers freely, and
said even the warlike Gen. Alger was
compelled to admit the force of it.
He said this would never have been
made public, even by intimation, were
it not that the cold and stubborn truth
would be necessary to keep congress
from plunging the country into war
at once. He said the president only
reluctantly conceded to this when told
it was necessary to hold the support
of conservative members. The main
thing that the fighting departments are
short of is powder, and the delivery Of
projectiles has not been as satisfactory
rs it might, be.

An apparently simple request made
of the senate by Mr.. Frye of Maine on
behalf of the foreign relations COM
mittee, unexpectedly precipitated
discussion on the Cuban question. 1t
finally led to passage of arms be-
tween Mr.. Chandler Of New Hamp-
shire and Mr.. Frye, in which the
former made some sarcastic references
to the conduct of the foreign relations
committee and to the attitude Of the
president. Concerning the latter Mr..
Chandler said: Il have confidence
that the president intends to pursue Il
patriotic and righteous course in the
present emergency, and shall thank
God when he reaches conclusion Of
some sort or another. Therefore, am
not in rebellion, as yet, against the
powers that be-" Mr.. Allen of Ne.

question in the course of which he

Just where he had always stood-iu,

the Cuban people from that "hideous
monster among nations" Spain. Upon
the conclusion of the Cuban discussion

taken up and thirty-five pages of it
