Senator GarfeldIs Boom.

There is a small-sized gubernatorial
boom for State Senator James R. Gar
field in portions of the state, and its
friends declare that it will grow. Sen
ator Garfield has represented the
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth SEN
atorial district in the general assem-
bly, for two terms, where he made an
enviable record as a legislator whose
highest ambition was to serve the
best interests Of the people. He comes
from Lake county, and his candidacy
would seriously interfere with the
hopes of the friends of Hon. Z. B. Tay-
lor and Lieutenant Governor Jones, to
say nothing Of Hon. James H. Hoy,
and others. There are indications OF
a movement in favor of Garfield al
Dayton and other localities in the
state His boom will bear watching.
The movement that gave his father the
presidency was started on the second
ballot at the Chicago convention III
June, 1880, by single delegate from
Pennsylvania, and continued by him
alone until rne sixth ballot, when he
was Joined by colleague during the
remaining ballots of that day. James
A. Garfield was nominated for the
presidency on the thirty-sixth ballot
when Major Ben Butterworth arose in
his place in the Ohio delegation and
cast As votes for Garfield, precipitating
his nomination. 1t is possible thai
the story of the father in 1880 might bt
repeated in the son in 1S99.-Rife il

Polk Miller at the M. E. Church.

Mr. Miller was born and bred In the
South, in old Virginia in fact, and
when he speaks OF the southern negro
he knows what he is talking about, es-
pecially as to the times "befo' the
wah."
Speaking of our reunited country
cemented together again by the arous-
ed patriotism of the Spanish war, he
said that he was in the Confederate
army. The good old negro mama who
had tenderly nursed him in infancy,
and who had all of the mothers affec-
tion for him, followed him down the
avenue leading to the public highway,
as he left to go to the depot ion his
way to join the army and her parting
words to him as he left were: Now,
honny, If you see any of them Yanks,
YOU Just take to yo' heels and get away
il you can"
His stories of the southern darky, as
he was before the war, are inimitable
and showed the happy life they used
to lead in the good old plantation
days, now gone forever, and as Polk
Miller says, gone for the best interests
of the southern people. The old gen

Ohio Men In Congress,

Unl0 men IN congress,
Washington, Dec. 26--Although the
State Of Ohio has exactly one forty

mebership of the United States Senate,
its natives have one-ninth OF the total |

State. These are the Ohio men in the |
Senate: Foraker, Hanna, Baker, Cara

some apprehension has, been expressed

SCHLEY AND HIS SAILORS.

| New York, July "A letter from one
of the ships off Santiago dated July 10.
contains this story;
A boats crew with diving apparatus
was sent from the Brooklyn today to ex-
anime the Infanta Maria Teresa, the flag
ship of Admiral Cervera. Among the
wreckage made by the big guns and the
exploded magazines they found a standard
compass which had tu1npled down with
the bridge. 1t was a heavy thing, but
they brought it over, and, by permission
of Captain Cook Of the Brooklyn, pre-
sented it to Comm odore Schley.
1t was a curious sight and pleasing
one to see these scamen shuttle on to the
quarter deck, where Commodore Sohley
was reading. One of the men, represent
ing the entire crew, and two men follow
ing him and carrying the compass,
stepped close to the Commodore, and then
the spokesman in stam.nering way
said: "Sir. the crew woald like to max
you present.
SohleY was on his feet In an instant,
his glasses in his hand, and his paper
on the deck. The spokesman hesitated.
"Well, my men, said the Commodore,
with an encouraging SMILE and the
| spokesman, hitching at his trousers, con.
| tinued:
"We found this compass on the Span
| ish Admiral's ship. and we thought we
would like to give it to you to remember
how you whipped Them"
"Well, my men," said the Commodore,
81 am much obliged to you, but the great
credit Of that victory belongs to you boy
the men behind the guns. Without you
no laurels would come to our country.
Thank you"

TALKING PEACE.
The latest Madrid Rumors on the Sub
ject.

London, July 25-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says:
Peace prospects have greatly improved
during the last 4S hours. The diplomatic
exploration of Duke Almodovar de Rio,
the foreign minister, has been more prac
tical than was supposed, and it is now
totally certain that the governments
efforts are entering new phase, which
may gradually lead to tangible results.
1.-The precise nature of the change is
secret, but there is little doubt that it
tends to direct negotiations between
Spain and the United States, there being
no inclination to seek the mediation of
any Other neutral power. The moment
has arrived when America, having
reached the parting of the ways, must
choose between war with a specific OBJ.
ject and an indefnable war of conquest.
The present pause in hostilities is held
to prove that the United States is reluc-
tant to plunge into wide sphere Of
action, and it may be confidently pre-
dicted, that, If direct negotiations are
opened without delay, both countries will
find their views on the main point--tke

THE NEW PENSIONERS.
Applications Already Being Made al
Washington.

Washington, July 24.-Comm1ssloner
of Pensions Evans is making arrange
ments for handling the pension cases
growing out of the war with Spain.
No pensions have yet been granted,
although about so applications have been
filed. The delay has been due to the
desire of the officials to systematic the
work, and arrangements are being made
to have the pensions of this war handled
entirely separate from all others. Some
time is required to arrange the machinery
for this but it is expected that within ten
days the granting of pensions will begin.
No applications have been filed for PEN
sions on account of the killing and
wounding of officers and men in the San
tiago campaign, all thus far received be-
ing on account of deaths and injuries
due to railway collisions and other acct
dental causes.
The pension roll for the war is expected
to be large in proportion to it's duration
and the number of men engaged, on ac-
count of the destructive character Of
modern arms and the unhealthful climate
IN which most of the field operations
will be conducted.

EXPERT OPINION.
What English Officers Say About
Tho Work Of Our Navy.

ot. John, N. F., July 16.-The progress
of the Standardization war is being
followed with keen interest by the
officers OF the British naval squadron
IN Newfoundland waters. 1t is, perhaps,
not known to most Americans, but the
fact is that because Of the difficulties be-
tween France and England regarding
fishing rights OH the west coast of this
island both nations maintain a squadron
of three or four ships on the coast during
the fishing season. This year the British
ships are the Cordelia (flagsh1p) Peli-
can, Partridge and Columbine, and for
the past five weeks the Cordelia has
been lying in this harbor. The commo-
dore of the squadron is the Hon. M. A.
Bourke, brother of the Earl of Mayo. He
was captain of the battleship Victoria
when she was ranmed and sunk by the
Camperdown in the Mediterranean five
years ago, and he was only saved after
standing at his post till his vessel sank
beneath him. He and the officers of his
present command converse freely on the
naval operations of the present war with
their friends in the city. The event in
the whole struggle which evoked the
warnest admiration from them was Hob
sons dash with the Merrimac into almost
certain death in the mouth CT Santiago
barber. They are unstinted in their
praise of him. In British naval annals
they say there are few deeds recorded
nobler than that Of Hobson and his little
band, and the whole eight would be deco
rated with the Victoria Cross if the
achievements had been performed under
the Union Jack. The destruction Of
Ceryera's fleet also evoked the most in
tense interest among these officers. They
could scarcely credit the reports that
the Americans wiped out his six ships
with the loss Of only one man, and
when the details of the engagement
reached here their expressions Of amaze
ment were loud and prolonged.
