viii There be WARP

While it may be admitted that the
prevailing belief is, that war between
this country and Spain ia inevitable, it
can not be consistently denied that the
interrogatory quoted in the above cap
ton can only be logically answered in
the negative. The extensive prepara-
tions for war that are so apparent on
the part Of our government do not point
definitely and conclusively 10 the alb
solute certainty Of approaching hostili-
ties, but are clearly significant Of the
fact that there is a fixed determination
on the part Of the government to he
pre-eminently ready for any emergency
which may arise. I! may not be con
sistently said that the action taken by
the government ia the matter Of ap-
propriating so large a sum as fifty
million dollars for national defense Is
unwise or unwarranted by the situation,
and yet it may not be reasonably
as conclusive evidence that
there will ever be shot exchanged
between the two nations
A close study Of Spain's financial situ-
alton makes plsin the stubborn fact that
she could not, within herself, maintain |
a war with any first class power for
single month. 1t would seem the sheer |
est folly for Spain, a country embracing !
a territory of less area than one of our |
states Texas with a total population !
Of less than eighteen million people |
struggling under debt of more than a
billion and half dollars, and already /
engaged in futile attempt to suppress
a rebellion that is costing her six
million dollars a month. to undertake |
to cope with a nation so far superior to
her in all respects as to make compari. |
son simply ridiculous. No; logically |
speaking there will be no war

Stupendous Folly.

The Minneapolis Tribune, in a recent
issue, thus sensibly concludes a half
column editorial upon the follv, on the
part Of the United States. Of entering
Spain; '-'
For the United States to enter upon
an aggressive campaign. either to oc
cupy Cuba or to invade Spain, would be
a piece of most stupendous folly. 1t
would be sacrificing American lives
uselessly. By throwing large force
into Cuba We might perhaps conquer
the island easily enough, but how many
thousand Of our boys would be sacri-
feed to maleria and yellow fever? The
cost would be more than the prize is
worth. Besides. we do not want Cuba
at present. All We want is to see
Spain driven out and to see the Cuban
patriots given q chance to try the ex.
pertinent of selfgovernment. All that
the United States needs 10 do in the
premises is to recognize Cuban bellig-
erency. II Spain wishes to make this a
casus bslli, let her GO so; let her make
the attack, and let us get ready to repel
| il. For us to declare war and invade
Spain or Cuba would be an arrant piece
Of Quixotism, and entirely unnecessary

Ballard Saloon Keeper Mortally Wounded
 by Robbers.
Stays One of His Assailants Be- fore Being Brought Down
 by Bullet.
COnfederates of the Dead Man Escape and Their Identity Is Not
 Known.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Dec 31-Ballard, the lumber and shingle mill suburb of this city, was the scene this evening of double tragedy that is shrouded in considerable mystery. The shooting occurred shortly before o'clock and was probably participated in by sey- eral men who were seen running away from Charles Ross saloon, in which the affray occurred.
 Mrs. Ross, startled by hearing four pistol shots in rapid succession, rushed into the saloon and there witnessed a ghastly sight. Her husband was lying behind the bar, blood streaming from bullet hole in his forehead.
 On the other side of the bar was a stranger, almost in the last gasp of breath, as 8 result of a bullet wound beneath his left eye. As the distracted wife bent over the prostrate form of her husband he raised his head, say ing:
 They tried to rob me-"
 He then fell into a state of uncon- sciousness, from which, it is supposed, he will never recover.
 The stranger is supposed to have come from Montana. His real name is unknown, although for several days he has been begging around Ballard He died fifteen minutes after the shooting occurred.
 The authorities have been at work on the case, but as yet have not been able to locate any of the living par ticipants to what they consider was an attempt to rob Ross but ended in a tragedy. Ross is a German about 50 years of age. It is supposed that the bullet from his revolver ended the life of his probable murderer. The latter fired but one shot, indicating that two others were fired by his fleeing confed- crates. At the hour when the shooting occurred but few people were in the neighborhood, although crowd soon collected. Ross was brought to the hospital, but the physicians have little hope of his recovery

ST. PAUL, Dec. S1.-A largely at- tended reception was given tonight to the apostolic delegate, Mgr Sebastian Martinelli, by the citizens of St. Paul in the Ryan Hotel. An address of well come was read to him by the Hon. Daniel w. Lawler.
 Mgr. Martinelli in response spoke at considerable length. After referring to the Pope's recent encyclical letters on marriage, on the constitution of civil society, on the labor question, and other great problems and questions of the day, he stated that the Pope strives to promote the prosperity and welfare of society, as well as of the na- tion, pointing out the means to be used for attaining that end, and indicating the evils which lead to its destruction or ruin. There was no need. he said. for him to speak of the Pope's love for the United States or it's institutions. nor the interest he takes in the pros perity, nor of the hope he entertains of its future.
 In conclusion he paid a warm tribute to Archbishop Ireland.

PENTECOST CHURCH.
Rev. O. C. Miller's Little Flock Gel ebrote Christmas With Sonq
 and Music.

The little church on Jackson street, between Laguna and Buchanan. known as the Church of the Holy Spirit, of which the Rev. O. c. Miller is the pas tor, belongs to the Evangelical Luther an branch of the English sect In ad- dition to the tenets of this particular sect being expounded by the pastor to his usual Sunday congregation, he has attached to his charge the Pentecost mission, in which a diversity of in- structions are imparted, to not only adults, but also to numerous tots rang ing from to 16 years of age. There, is also sewing school attached to the mission located at the corner of Leav- enworth and Pacific streets, where girls who have been neglected in their home lives are taught the useful branch of needle-work. The material is furnished by the mission, and, as an inducement to the girls, they are permitted to take home that which they make into gar- mentS.
 It was these girls and the little chil- dren of the mission who so befittingly celebrated Christmas week in the church and at the mission.
 During the earlier evenings of the week the church on Jackson street held its Christmas celebration. At this ob- SerVdnce the 1n0efatlgdDIe minister was not forgotten by the members of his congregation, as Santa Claus found, among the many good things, a purse we'll filled with gold, which was labeled for the minister The celebra- tion yesterday afternoon and evening | was for the smaller children of the mission in the afternoon and the larger ones in the evening. At the afternoon entertainment there were over 15O tots from the summit of Russian Hill and portions of Pacific street.
 The evening exercises were for the
 larger children and the sewing class belonging to the Pentecost Church and
 mission. At this meeting there were
 present over 300 all of whom enjoyed the programme prepared for them by the minister and the ladies who so kindly assisted him.
