This is a laudable enterprise and these
loyal young men will receive the hearty

Law In Maine Disaster

Chicago. Feb. 21.-The question IRE
sponsbility which might attach to the
government of Spain in case the Maine
disaster was due to a mine in the har-
Dor of Havana, and was the work of a
fanatic or accident, has been a subject
of discussion among lawyers. The in
ternational law is a matter largely of
precedent, and mine explosion in a
fortified harbor in time of peace has no
precedent.
Robert T. Lincoln. secretary of war
under Presidents Garfield and Arthur
and formerly minister to England, is
positive tina tin case of an accident or il
the mine was exploded by Spanish ia
matte, Spain could not be burdened with
any legal responsibility. Mr.. Lincoln
says that in neither case would the
slightest responsibility attach to Spain
Assuming a mine explosion by a fa-
matte. that would be the end of the af-
fair.
Giving international law the Wides:
latitude. and stretching precedents to
their limit, there would be no liability
against the government of Spain. II is
an elementary principle of international
law that government is in no way re-
sponsible for the acts of private citizens
If it were not SO, complications would
be arising continually, which would keep
nations in "a turmoil and arbitratine

WRESTLING WELLS.
Natural Barometers Which Foretell Storms

Natural Barometers Which Foretell Storms
In Wisconsin.
A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is series of
blowing or "whistling" wells located
in the northern part of the town of Eu-
reka, in Polk county, Wis. There are
six of these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 1870 to 100 feet The one
owned by James Collin exhibits most
remarkable features. This we'll is 100
feet deep and was dug Is years ago.
The first 20 feet was hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel.
Before rainstorm the wind blows
out of this we'll with great force, max
ing roaring sound that can be heard a
long distance. The wind is so hot that
water placed on the cover of the well
will boil The wind blows out only be-
fore a storm, and the severity and du-
ration of the storm are always in exact
proportion to the force of this current
and it's duration before the storm com
mences 1t is therefore an accurate { nd
trustworthy barometer, or vice yersa.
with equal accuracy, but remains quiet
in settled weather.
In winter current of air is drawn
in before a change of weather just as
forcibly as it blows out in hot weather
This current will freeze the water 1870
feet from the surface of the earth as
quickly as it would at the surface, and,
though many attempts have been made
to use pump in the well. they have
all failed, and number of pumps of
different makes have been destroyed by
the water freezing and bursting the
cylinders and pipes.
The other five wells, which resemble
this one i'll many respects, are all locdt-
ed within the radius of about one mile
and vary in depth from 1870 to 100 feet.
All sorts of theories have been add
vanced concerning an underground pa
sage, but no outlet has ever been discov-
cred, and if there is one it must be u
great distance away i'll order to foretell
the approach of storms SO long time
in advance. -Philadelphia Record.

There is an honest difference in opinion
among Republicans whether the party
in Congress should make any effort at
this session to secure financial legislation
in the line of President McKinley's mes
sage and the platform of the st. Louis
convention. Unfortunately there is not
the remotest possibility of any sound
financial measure passing the Senate.
This was demonstrated by the vote on
the Teller resolution. The position of
Republicans in the House was also am.
ply demonstrated by the vote in that
body on this measure. There is no
room for doubt of the attitude of Re-
publicans on this issue, and 1t seems to
us that long drawn out discussion of
the financial issue in the absence of any
possible action by this Congress would
be of no practical advantage, either
politically or to the business interests
of the country.

If the result of the official inquiry
should develop the fact beyond perad
venture that the ships magazine ex-
ploded from fire or other cause within
her hull. 1t Is believed a sentiment in
congress will be created against the ex-
penditure of millions in the construc-
ton of warships that may blow up at
any time.
1t seems likely that a congressional
investigation will follow a report from
the board of inquiry attributing the loss
of the Maine to an explosion of her
magazine. No resolution for this pur-
pose has yet been introduced in the
house however
