is on peaceful mission. She is de-
stroyed.
THE question of ports does not enter
into the discussion of responsibility.
Spain was as much bound to protect
the Maine and her crew from harm
in the port of Havana as if she had
been anchored at her own immediate
door. l care not whether the explosion
was produced by or through the con-
nivance of Spaniard or Cuban.
Span's responsibility for the deed is not
lessened thereby.
Suppose taht the President of the
United States had visited Spain on a
friendly mission. and was the guest of
the Queen Regent. and during the night
was murdered by some member of the
Queens household, or by some fanatical
Spaniard not connected with Spain's
Cabinet would not this Government
have the right to hold Spain responsible
for the deed? / contend that it would.
Therefore, it is that I say that in
our relations with Spain we are APP
preaching a crisis, the solution and
settlement of which Congress alone
must determine. The country expects
Congress to do it's duty in the prem
ises, and that the President will do
his. Neither can shift the RESPONSE
bilities of the hour upon the other.
ANY proposition of Congress to shirl1
responsibility or impose special powers
upon the President to meet emergencies
as they arise will be resented by the
people. Congress must not only remain
in session until it knows all the facts
connected with the loss of the Maine
but must not adjourn until it has set
tied. and settled right. all othe cues
tions that are pressing for d speedy
solution"

COURT OF INQUIRY REPORT.
Expected to Reach the President
To-day or morrcw.

WASHINGTON, March H. The
President expects the report of the
court of inquiry tomorrow or next
day. 1t may even now be on its way
from Key West to Washington. When
the court arrived at Key West yester-
day from Havana and reported to Ad-
miral Sicard what progress it had made
towards reaching the end of its long
task. the Admiral promptly communi-
Gated with the Secretary of the Navy.
1t was the Secretary's purpose to have
a full synopsis of the courts conclu-
sion put in cipher and telegraphed to
Washington. Upon consultation with
the President, this plan was 'aban-
doned.
Both the President and the Secre-
tary are determined to spare no eff
forts to maintain the secrecy of the
courts verdict until they themselves
of Admiral Sicard, and the naval offi-
Ger who takes the papers III his GUS
tody will be expected to deliver the
envelope with the seal unbrokel into
the hands of the Secretary of the Ma
Wy Probably the messenger will be
Commander Mark, the
Judge Advocate of the court of inquiry
though the selection is entirely with
the judgment of Admiral Scard.
1t must be remembered that the Ad-
miral organized the court, and to him
the return must be made. Technically
he must review the findings and con-
clusions. and submit his own opinion
on these and an Endorsement to the
department along with the papers. Ad-
miral Sicard is the very incarnation
of caution in the discharge of official
matters. and as he is technically re-
sponsible for the safe delivery OF the
courts report to the Secretary Of the
Navy it may he set down as q fact
that any publication that attempts to
set out either in full or in substance
the courts report will be absolu tely
conjectural on it's basis.

brought to this country. Glencoe bred
by Lord Jersey, was foaled in 1891
His sire was Sultan, a son of Selim
who was by Buzzard. Glencoe was a
chestnut horse. with white mind legs
half way to the hook, and had plenty
of bone and substance. He stood Is
hands high and was possessed of a
Roman nose of the most pronounced
type.
Prior to his importation into this
country Glencoe started nine times in
England and won seven races His
greatest sccesses were the Goodwin
gold cup of 1884 and the Ascot gold cup
of 1886. These two victories set the
seal of his excellence upon the son of
Sultan, and James jackson of Florence,
Ala, purchased him and shipped him
home. Glencoe put IL years in the stud
at Florence, but in 1s4S Frank Harper
bought and brought him to Kentucky
When Glencoe WAS &c years old he once
again changed hands. Keene Richards
being his new owner. The old horse,
however. had run his race. and died a
couple of months after his arrival at
Blue Grass park, Georgetown, Ny. the
home of Mr.. Richards.
The Glencoe mares have done much
to build up the standard of the Amer
lean thoroughbred. Reel. Magnolia To-
paz, Nebula, Novice, Rhoda, Fannie
King and Mamie Lewis were among
the matrons sired by Glencoe in this
country. The English breeding indus
try also profited by the product of this
great horse. His daughter Pocahontas,
was one of the grandest mares that the
turf has ever known. and WAS the dam
of such crackajacks as Stockweil Rat
aplan and King Tom. The great Stock
well was the sire of Lord Lyon, Blair
Athol and Doncaster, all three OF whom
won English classics. Among his
daughters were the peerless Caller On,
the speedy Achievement and Lady Au-
gusta. From King Tom came Kingcraft
Great Tom and Phaeton. The two last
named sires were imported into this
country, and were highly successful at
the stud. There is a tradition at Belle
would never part with a Great Tom
mare.
Conspicuous among the sons of Glen
coe were Vandal. Star Davis and Wild
lrishman. Nandal was the sire of Nir-
gil, whose son was Hindoo, the sire of
Hanover. from whose lons came Ham
burg. the sensational colt of the day
War Dance, the best producer that the
great Lexington ever got. was out Of
Reel the daughter of Glencoe. Han
overs dam, Bourbon Belle, was by inn
ported Bonnie Scotland. OUT of Ella D.,
by Vandal. son of Glencoe.
Satsuma, the chestnut horse owned
by Dr. Rowell, the hero of the season s
mile and six furlongs record at the
Frisco track, is credited with three
Glencoe crosses on his dams side, and
two Glencoe crosses on his sire's side
Satsuma is by Macduff, out of Albertha
Macduff was out of jersey Lass. a
daughter of imported King Ernest
whose sire was King Tom. the son of
Pocahontas, daughter of Glencoe Al
bertha was sired by Volturno, whose
granddam was Lightsome. also a
daughter of Glencoe. Satsuma' s
breeding shows speed lines as we'll as
stamina of the old-school standard.

Miss Mullins apportionment and the
total amount of taxes paid up to date
remains in the general fund until the
next apportionment, and in future all
taxes paid in the county for school
purposes will be placed in the general
school fund and from there apportioned
according to the census of each district.
The county attorney. as well as the
attorney general of the state, upheld
the action taken by Miss Mullins on her
apportionment according To census. 1t

finally agreed that the law must be
good and the superintendent right.

Miss Mullins made the apportionment

her action was legal and they talked
about enjoining the treasurer from
carrying out her apportionment and
requested him to hold off until they
could bring an action in court to test
the law. The treasurer waited for
whole month, but no action was taken
by the trustees. and he concluded that
they had abandoned the idea, and yes
