ONLY RUMORS.

~
this week. Spain asked this
government to have Consul
General Lee recalled. Presi-
dent Mckinley replied that we
couldn't think of it. There was
a chance for war right away.
The Spanish discovered about
the same time, however, that
they had been misinformed.
They thought Lee said Spain
was to blame for the Maine
disaster; they became satisfied
that he had not expressed any
opinion, and the demand was
withdrawn. So much for that
episode.
At the same time Spain asked
if our government would please
not send the projected Cuban
relief in war vessels. Mr.. Nc
Kinley replied again that the
arrangements were all made,
that the vessels would not make
any long stay and that we would
rather not change our plans.
That was the end of that.
In the house the senate bill
to raise two artillery regiments
was promptly passed. The
minority wanted time to citicise
the measure; the majority gave
them forty minutes. Bailey, Of
Texas, thought that wasn't
enough and had a scrimmage
with Speaker Reed without
gaining anything by it.
Doubtless the majority has the
right to pass such a measure
and to do it speedily. But we
submit that a law carrying
half a million dollars a year,
forever, is of enough impor-
tance to be discussed at least
three quarters of an hour if
it's opponents, representing
half the people in the country,
wish that much time.
By the same token a bill ap-
propriating fifty million dollars
for the public defense is pas
sing congress as fast as the law
allows and will doubtless be in
the presidents hands by the
time this paper is printed-un-
less it should be changed to a
hundred millions. Perhaps
this measure cannot we'll be
criticised. If we must fight
questions of cost disappear. If
we have war there is no use
haggling over a little matter of
fifty or hundred millions, and
the more liberal the appropria-
ton the quicker it will be over.
Yet one may regret that con-
gress has so much zeal in for
warding quarrel and so little
energy for furthering peace;
that our federal legislature is
so prompt to promote i'll will
and so reluctant to advance the
brotherhood of man. But con-
gress is of a piece with all the
people. We must not blame
congress too harshly lest we
condemn ourselves.

both bones OF the left forearm by stumbling,

years Of age, he had compound fracture OF
the left leg above the ankle by his foot being
caught under an iron rod and his body fall

date, August 20. he had compound fracture
OF both legs, the right being so severely
crushed that It had to be ~amputated at the
lower third Of the thigh. This was caused by
a horse, hitehed to a tram of coal, which,
running wild underground, caught him in a
narrow passage, crushing both legs severely.
After this he did not work August 26 for
twenty-eight years, and little wonder, but
In the year 1890 he forgot his fateful day
and went to work, with the result that he
sustained a compound fracture. After this

THE "SORDID DOLLAR"

When the question of war was in the balance we heard a. lot from the demagogues about the "sordid dol lar." That was the 1ow-down agency which was trying to avert hostilities, and It's policy was prompted by the fear of loss. Coming right after the hot and disorganizing campaign for the presidency, this sort of talk found much favor in some quarters, and 1t was the yell of the yellow journalism until war was declared.
 Now the sordid dollar seems to have been reinstated in popular favor. We notice that even the brave volunteers, whose motives are not to be aspersed in the slightest, are talking of what their pay is. Every ship that has been bought or chartered has called for dollars, and lots of them. The railroads have their rate per mile for carrying soldiers. The provisions that the soldier boys eat have to be pur- chased, and it is the sordid dollar that does the business.
 The war must be paid for, and the display of patriotism by those who have property at stake ought to shame the cheap shouters who such a little while ago were denouncing them for a "disloyalty" that meant only a serious appreciation of the loss and horror Of war, which the agitators had neither brains nor conscience tC 1 comprehend. The test has come and 1 the people who have something to loss are proving their willingness to rish 1 it for their country. War cannot bs carried on without money to pay the l bills. The only obstacle to the gov l ernment securing all the money tha1 l it can need comes today from the ] greenbackers and infiationists, whose policy of ruin has been repudiated by the people, and who are trying now to compel the rest of the country, out oi the emergency of war, to surrender ts 1 them. They want all the sordid dol
 lars they can get, but they want te make them with a printing press ant not to earn them with work.
 The fact is that the "sordid dollar is behaving surprisingly we'll in thi, situation. In the dull times of peace

His headquarters will be at Flagstaff, within a radius of ten miles of which are situated the San Francisco mountains, and also regions which afford splendid opportunity for the study of desert and alpine plants, of which Professor McDougall will make a speciality. He will also carry on some Investigations for the weather department with regard to temperature at the var ying attitudes, and will experiment as to the amount of moisture absorbed and given of by plants in that region.

PROTECTED CRUISERS.

l The accounts of the Manila fight
 thus far received are not sufficiently
 explicit in detail to show the value of deck protection on warships Only two of the Spanish vessels-the small
 cruisers Isla de Cuba and Isla de Lu- zon-were thus protected, they having
 their decks reinforced with two and one-half inches of armor But these two vessels shared the fate of the others, although they outlasted the two largest cruisers. On the American side four of the cruisers had protect ed decks, and all of them but the Ral- eigh received slight injuries. It does not appear that either the Raleigh or the unprotected Concord, Petrel or Mo Culioch were hit at all It follows
 that the supposed protective value of armcred decks was not fully demon strated by the battle.
 British naval experts place great confidence in protective decks-so
 much, in fact, that they have, at least
 temporarily, abandoned the armored
 cruiser type of vessel, of which their 1 latest specimens are the 8,400-ton
 ships Warspite and Imperieuse-
 latter the flagship of the British Pa
 cif1c fleet. After building these two
 ships, which took the water some ten
 years ago, their next representatives of
 powerful fast cruisers Blake and Blen-
 helm and the 7,O00-ton ones of the Ed
 gar and St. George classes. When the
 Russians built the huge armored cruis-
 CT Rurik and the still larger Rossia,
 which in the mute but expressive lan-
 guage of naval construction were a
 challenge to Britain, the latter an
 swered with the giant deck-protected cruisers Powerful and Terrible. Bras sey's naval annual, which is accepted as the most valuable exponent of naval progress published, has expressed the opinion that strong deck-protected cruisers like the Powerful or Edgar would prove as effective fighters as the average armored cruiser The latest protected cruisers have gun protection as we'll as armored decks, and the only distinction between them and armored cruisers consists in the fact that the latter usually have thicker armor around their guns, and have an ar mored belt to protect their sides, while |! protected cruisers have no armored | belt
 If the Spaniards should send fleet | of armored cruisers to attack Admiral 1 Dewey at Manila the battle that would l ensue would be a duel between ar mored cruisers and protected cruisers, 1 and the result ought to show the prac- tical value of certain theories of naval l construction. If the Cape Verde fleet should bring up at Manila, and the | American feet should then be rein forced by the Charleston, it would be a fight between four thickly belted ar mored cruisers and five protected cruisers. If well fought, the Span ish vessels ought to win, but the men cn the bridge and behind the guns of the American ships might offset the latter's inferiority in size, armor and ordnance
 If the Philadelphia, now completing | it's repairs at San Francisco, should l be sent to Manila in season to partici- pate in active operations, Admiral l Dewey would have six protected cruis- l CTS at his disposal and would be able 1 to put up a big fight against anything Spain could send against him
