COSTLY BLENHEIM PALACE.
One DuISe Used to Say II Took $1,000
to Keep ITS Windows Puttfed.
From an Exchange.

"A
The late Duke of Marlborough, in al
luding 70 the size Of Blenhelm palace,
used 20 say by way Of a joke that IA was
the only residence in Europe which re-
qulred 1900 worth of putty year TO keep
the window panes in order.
Money went a good deal further in the
last century than il does now. Conse-.
quently when the House Of Commons
voted $l.500.00O to build the first duke
residence there presently sprang up an
odince 3iS feet long, with an interior so
vast that when government messenger
once came post haste there to the late
Lord Randolph Churchill during one OF
his visits with dispatch II was over half
an hour before his lordship--who for ex-
ercise had been exploring the palace,
with it's fifteen staircases-was found.
The last time Il was repaired the late
duke was obliged TO apply to Parliament
for permission 10 sell the pictures ana
library to pay the bills, which amounted
20 more than $4,000 II IS, therefore, not
surprising that, although the estate yield
ed $4,000 year. the expenses Of keeping
up this preposterous residence kept the
duke poor man.

ly by this government, but there must be
a military government first, and many
preliminary details will have TO be worked
out. There must be a rehabilitation of ex-
listing system of government where we
have carried our arms, and while local
schemes and conditions will form the ba-
sis of the general system for the control
of the land, there must be numerous
changes, 'aboushing such laws as may be

possible the system of government which
now exists is to be followed.

THE X-RAY MACHINES.
To he Introduced Into the Govern
ment Service.

Lynde Bradley, an expert electrician of
Milwaukee, Wis, has perfected plans for
the use of the X ray on board war YES
sells and on the field, and in case of war
will Immediately enlist in the government
service. Mr.. Bradley says that while it
would be simple matter to bring the X
ray into use on warship considerable
difficulty would be attached to the in
PRODUCTION of the machine in the field. A
small engine, boiler and dynamo would
have to be mounted on wheels for field
use, and the X-ray machine mounted on
a carriage. The apparatus, however, will
be much lighter and more portable than
may be imagined, and his field apparatus
could be furnished in week. IL have
been thinking of this matter for months"
said Mr. Bradley today, "but have waited
for hostilities to begin before taking any
active steps. The great help that the X
ray would be to surgeons lies in the
quick, easy and painless method of locat-
ing bullet or splinter in a mans body,
fracture of bone or other serious in
jury"

QUIETER DEMAND FOR STAPLES
Bradstreet Reports Trade a Little
Dull East.

New York, April 9.-Bradstreet' says:
A sensible quieting of demand for staple
goods is perceptible in the various detail
ed trade reports coming to hand this week.
At the outset matters affecting foreign
relations has been such as to discourage
new business, but this tendency has been
considerably accentuated by untimely cold
weather, which has checked the usual
Easter demand to considerable extent
Reports from the west are that the heavy
rush of spring business is about over and
that orders coming in now are filling in
character. Here again reports of unsea-
sonable weather are met with. A fairly
good business is reported, growing out of
the raising of insurance rates consequent
on the disturbed foreign outlook. Frost
is reported to have done considerable dam
age to the peach and other fruit crops of
the south and to early planted tobacco.
A fairly satisfactory trade is represented
at the northwest. Lake navigation is now
open, and anticipation is that prosper
GUS years business will be done.

week are slightly larger than those of last

PREACHED OF PLAGUE.
Because 1t Was in the Sermon He
Bought.

Many years ago an English clergyman
in a small town preached as his own a
sermon that he had bought, and which
had been originally preached in London
when the plague was raging in that city.
After reproving the vice of the people the
sermon went on:
"For this vice it is that God has Wis
tied you and your families with that cruel
scourge the plague, which is now spread
ing everywhere in this town"
At his uttering these words the people
were all so Thunderstorm that the Chief
Magistrate was obliged to go to the pulpit
and ask him:
"For Gods sake, sir, pardon the inter-
ruption, and inform me where the plague
is, that l may instantly endeavor to pre-
vent its further spreading"
"The plague, SIR" replied the preacher.
81 know nothing about the plague.
Whether it is in this town or not, it is in
my homily."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

After the presidents message was read
and referred to the foreign relations com
mittee in the senate Monday, Senator
Stewart took the floor and declared that
intervention without recognition of the
insurgents would look like conquest. The
senate, at l:l5 p. m, on motion of Sen
ator Allison, adjourned, and the senate
committee on foreign relations was call
ed in special session to consider the mes,

The reading of the message in the house
was greeted with scattering applause
from the republican side and groans from
the democratic side. The galleries made
no demonstration. The message was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-
fairs without debate, and the house pro-
ceeded with the District of Columbia bus

HAWAII 70 Be Annexed.
MINISTER SEWALL'S ORDERS
Instructions to Raise the American
Flag Over the Islands as Soon as
War Is Declared Between the
United States and spain-Pacific
Cable Plans.

| Chicago, April "a special dispatch to
the Inter- Ocean from Honolulu says:
1t is generally understood here and un-
! disputed that if news is received here
that war has been declared between the
United States and Spain, or any other
country, the American minister and Ad-
miral Miller have orders to raise the stars
and stripes over Hawaii and to maintain
them at any cost.
Such instructions, say the local papers
were received from Washington in the
last mail The statement has appeared
without contradiction in the Star. Both
Minister Sewall and Admiral Miller are
reticent concerning the report, neither of
firming nor denying it.
The necessity of immediate action in
such an emergency is at once apparent
Spain has several warships in the Paci,
fic, which could scarcely make their way
to the American coast without having an
intermediate coaling station. The Ha-
waiian islands are the only available
place. A single war vessel could success,
fully defend this harbor and the coal sup
plies here against half dozen such craft
as Spain has in the Pacific. So that, af-
ter all, an opportunity may be given for
practical illustration of the oft-repeated
argument that these islands are the stra-
tegic point of vantage in the Pacific from
naval point of view.
The news that congress had voted $780,
100000 for war materials caused the
greatest enthusiasm here. So thoroughly
American is Honolulu that every one is
eager for war news. 1t quite supersedes
in the public mind the news concerning
the progress of the annexation treaty,
In case war is declared and there is call
for volunteers the islands will likely send
large company of mlitiamen to enlist
under "Old Glory" A company is already
in process of formation, and the roster
presents the names of several prominent
business men.
Senator Brown has introduced in the
legislature a bill authorizing the con-
struction by the Pacific Cable Company
of n cable between the United States and
