it arrived at the conviction that it could
not proceed in any other way with the
United States. the response of the govern
ment to President Mckinley's commiratory
note WAS conformable with the honor of
the nation
The Impartial also applauds the decision
of the government, and the Globo says the
government will do its utmost to "main-
tain peace without impairing the national
honor
The evening press is warlike in tone, but
reports no new facts.
La Nacional reasserts that United States
Minister Woodford sent an ultimatum last
evening. demanding a reply within six
hours.
The paper concludes its statement by
expressing the opinion that war is only
question of days.
La Correspondence de Espana Qndepend-
ent and semi-ofticiaD. says: Spain has
yielded until there is nothing but honor
left TO yield, and in defense of her honor
she will go to war"
Contributions to the War Fund.
London, April S-The Madrid correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says:
'The subscriptions to the national war
fund which the government has opened
will be deposited in the Bank of Spain at
the disposal of the government. Army,
navy and all government. provincial and
municipal officials will contribute at least
one days pay. Private corporations and
clubs. as well as newspapers, have con-
voked meetings to make the subscription
as big and popular as possible.
The government has been criticised for
not opening the fund earlier, but it was
afraid of alarming the country. Despite
the postponement of President McKinley's
message to congress. the hopes of peace
have sunk and the opening of the national
subscription is considered bad sign. 1t
Is announced in official circles that the
queen regent will sign tomorrow (F'riday)
some important DEGREES in relation to war.

known here since last Monday.
During the last three days news which,
however, was received with some skepti-

make a stand against the jingoes and to
follow President Cleveland's policy. with
the support of Mr.. Cleveland. the latter's

has been to what concessions Mr.. Nc

How Two Opposing Powers Mt Topeka
Fell Out and How They
Came Out.

Topeka. Kas., April 7.-(SpeciaL) Bellig-
erency rights We're extended in the state
treasury to-day. and all outside parties
strictly observed the neutrality laws. while
Charles Hogue. bond clerk in the office,
and Jesse Leach, of a st. Joseph news
paper, participated in fierce engagement
to settle great moral question. Hogue
accused Leach of too closely following the
precedent established by another Missouri
an named Price, during the war, OF appro-
priating to his own use the property be-
longing to kansans. To be more specific,
Leach was charged with swiping lead PEN
cils and other office utensils, to the great
Inconvenience of the treasury in these
times of Pop deficits and against the peace
and dignity of the state.
Leach denied the allegation. and defied
the alligator. Without waiting to hear
from any other nation, or from the pope,
and without even fixing up his coast de-
fenses. Hogue opened hostilities by trying
to stamp Leach's face, mot paid for want
of funds But the newspaper man caught
the projectile with his torpedo catcher
before any damage was done. He then led
for Hogue's searchligkt, and caught it on
the Prov. causing it to spring aleak. He
followed this with lead for Hogue's solar
plexus. but didn't find it. "a Pop has no
solar plexus) The two then opened up
at short range. Hogue rammed Leach over
chair. and in falling. the newspaper man
struck his head on the corner of a desk,
causing him to lose track of all things
earthly for a brief period.
But just as he started on tho trip he
caught Hogue amidships. and he. too. sank
to the floor disabled. At this juncture. the
other powers. who had been watching the
course of events with keen interest, con-
cluded that the honor of each had been
vindicated. and, by mediation, stopped
further hostilties. Forcible intervention
did not have to be resorted to. but ban

Mayors Blunder.
Topeka Kas.. April 7.-(Special) A mis-
take as ridiculous as the one made at Le-
compton last Monday when the people held
their election under the old law, complete
ly ignoring the Australian ballot law, has
been reported to the attorney general from
Courtland. Kas. That town Is a city of the
third class and under the law it must hold
its general municipal election on the first
Monday OF April. The mayor. in preparing
his election proclamation, followed the law
governing the elections in cities of the first
the first Tuesday. No election was held
Monday. Tuesday morning when the polls
were about to be opened someone suggested
that the election should have been held
the day before. The law was examined and
sure enough Monday was tine day fixed.
The mayor declared the election off and
wrote to the attorney general asking If a
special election could be called under the
CIRCUMSTANCES to elect the officers which

that no special election could be held for
that purpose and that the present officers
