BOSTON, Feb 21.-The United Society of
Christian Endoavor has been notified that
among those who were lost in the explosion
of the battleship Maine were some who
have been prominent in the history of the
floating societies of Christian Endeavor
Among them were c. S. Jencks, formerly
president of the Floating society on the
Charleston, which society originated t.e
Christian Endeavor Seamens home at
Nagasaki, Japan.
Seaman Jencks was well known as a
Christian Endeavorer in many lands and
ports. His associations have been largely
with Roman Catholic priests in the navy
One of his associates on the Maine was
Elmer NJ. Reitstrup, IS years old, who be-
came member of the society December
10, 1897. He intended to prepare for the
ministry after leaving the navy.
Another was William Rushforth who
was a delegate for the Thetis Floating So
ciety and represented the San Diego En-

NO TALK OF ARBITRATION.
Mckinley Has Fully Decided Upon
HIS General Policy.

CHICAGO, March 22-The Posts
Washington special says: The time
taken by the court of inquiry to in
vestigate the Maine disaster has given
the president opportunity to test the
sense of Americans and to formulate
a course Of action.
1t can be said that he is. at the pres
ent time, fully determined as to what
he will do, and what his general pol cy
will be. All doubts may be set at rest
and people may feel certain that Their
will with regard to Cuba will be exc
cuted. There has never been any
doubt on that question. But there has
been uncertainty as to the time and
the methods which it might be found
best to employ.
1t is as good as settled that any de-
mand from Spain for reference of the
issues growing out of the Maine verdict
to neutral court of arbitra ton will
be denied. The opposition to such a
course is practically unanimous in con-
Gress and it is unyielding.
The position taken is that If the re-
port is anything short of accidental
explosion. from clearly preventable
causes, the question of national honor
cannot be disassociated from the is
sues, and that no question in which
national honor is involved, even in the
remotest degree can be submitted to
arbitration or passed upon by outsid-
ers. That, it is contended is a matter
for the American people to settle for
themselves and in their own way,
through president and a congress Of
their own selection.
They hold that if Spain has a de-
Tense to make or facts to present she
must make them to an American tri-
bunal, court owing allegiance only
to the flag of the United States.

pounds weekly.
The Dupont company bid 32175 cents

In a day or two the ordnance bureau

against the coming of this fiotilla is
unWarranted. There has been no such
protest.
No Orders Issued.
AT the navy department nothing is
known of the reported ordering home
of the Maine officers now at Havana.
1t is stated that these orders. if given.
would come from Admiral Sicard and
not from the navy department.. The
several Maine survivors who arrived
here last Saturday came In response
to orders from Admiral Sicard, and it
was for this reason that their arrival
was a surprise to the naval officials
here
1t is not expected that Capt. sigs-
bee, Lieut.. Commander Wainwright
and others who are assisting in the
work of wreckage will leave Havana
until the salvage of the Maine is COM
pleted. Serious attention is being given
by the navy department officials to the
question Of acquisition of a suitable To-
cation for coaling station somewhere
in the West Indies. Steps have already
been taken to establish such a sta
ton at the Dry Tortugas, but this, it
is said, is the only deep water harbor
available for big war vessels between
Hampton Roads and the Rio Grande.
Besides, it is practically unprotected at
present and a fleet would have to be
stationed there to protect the coal
stored. which is unsatisfactory.
The officials, therefore, have been
casting about for location which
would serve the purpose Of a coaling
station and which the United States
might acquire either as a purchase or
.cession from one of the friendly gov
ernments. There are a number of fine
harbors among the West Indies, said
naval off1ter today, and in one of them
we ought to have a coaling station.
Secretary Long is considering the
matter and it is probable that If the
arrangements a station will be secured.

Vanderbflts Said to BE Back of a
Seattle Project.
SEATTLE, Wash, March 22.-The British
Columbia, Seattle & Pacific Coast Railway
company today made application to the city
council for "a franchise thirty feet wide over
railroad avenue.
1t stated to the city council that it
was the purpose Of the company to construct
a: railroad from Portland, Or, to Seattle.
thence to British Columbia boundary. The
company was willing that condition be
imposed in the franchise that the work of
construction should begin in thirty days and
the line be finished within eighteen months.
The road will cost between four and five mill
ion dollars.
1t is estimated that the proposed line has
the backing of the Vanderbilts, and 1t is in
furtherance of their purpose to have a con-
tinuous line from New York to the Pacific
coast. 1t is also stated that connection will
be made at the boundary line with the Can
adian Pacific.
The route of the proposed road from Seattle
to Portland is kept secret. but it is under
stood that it is to be by way of Vancouver,
Wash. and that bridge may be built across
the Columbia river at that point
