ECHOES OF THE WAR.

cyrus Carman, former Wilkes
Barrean. who left there in 1879 for the
west and who since that time has been
serving in the regular army of the
United States, is visiting his brother,
f. +. Carman, of 81 Moyaflen street,
Wilkes Barre. Mr.. Carman, who is a
sergeant in the United States regular
army, came directly from Cuba, where
he has been doing service for Uncle
Sam. He has seen service in various
parts of the west, though he has not
been engaged in any actual fighting.
Before the present war broke out the
portion of the army in which Sergeant
Carman was serving was stationed at
Fort Riley, Kansas, and on March 16
it was ordered to march to Tibee,
Georgia. Thence it was sent to Chick
amauga and from there to Tampa,
Florida. Concerning his Cuban expert
ence he said:
I'VE constituted the second expedi-
tion which went to Cuba. At Tampa
We received orders to take some heavy
guns to Santiago and on Sunday, July
3, our expedition sailed under COM
mand of Brigadier General Randolph.
There We're six transports in our ex-
light artillery-a very large command.
The transports were protected by four
warships. among which were the
Helena and the Machias. We arrived
at Siboney the following Friday and
disembarked at Baquaria. nine miles
east of Siboney.
1--WE did not reach the seat of hos
tilities in time to take part in the
battle. and when we arrived negotia-
tions had been begun for the surrender
of the Spaniards We found the San
tiago surroundings in a state of much
excitement, as the surrender of the city
was anticipated, and there was much
enthusiasm among the American SOL
diers. We left Siboney on July IS and
at that time it was known that the
Spaniards would surrender in a day or
two. The prompt capitulation of Gen
eral Toral was largely due to the great
increase of strength to the Americans
by reason of the batteries which we
transported to the scene of operations.
While in Cuba my term of enlistment
expired and ] decided that before |
would re-enlist would come to Wilkes
Barre to spend a few weeks.
Speaking of the surrender of San
tiago, Sergeant Carman said: There
was nothing deft for the Spaniards bu,
to surrender. for the city was so sur
rounded by the Americans that sup
plies were cut off, escape was impos.
sible and the city was under the guns
of both the land forces and the fleet.
OF course, it would have cost a great
many American lives to take the city
| by force. but there would be absolute
ly no chance for the Spaniards, and
this fact is what induced General Tora
to submit to the terms of surrender as
dictated by General Shafter."
In about six weeks Sergeant Car
man, who is now 40 years of age, will
again go to California. where he Will
re-enlist and probably sail for the
| Philippine islands.

WAR PATH.

Mir. Bryan is still on the warpath with an eye to renomination for the Presidency, an aspiration which will not probably be realized. He still con- tinues to draw large houses, however, and is working the East once more in the interest of unlimited silver. He had packed house at the Hyperion yesterday afternoon and acclaimed at length on his favorite topic in windy speech. He argued among other things if there was any argument in his ut terances, that an unlimited issue of sil- yer money at 16 to i would bring all sorts of good times and prosperity to the working man and intimated that life was too short to enumerate all the blessings that would flow from an adoption of his theories; at the same time practically declaring that an un- limited supply of gold would work the opposite result. His speech was chiefly free and easy familiar talk inter- spersed with the telling of stories and was a rather tame affair." devoid of oratory and wholly uninspiring,' al- though his audience was evidently ready to applaud at any and all oppor- tunities. MT Bryan freely admitted that the big rise in the price of wheat and consequent prosperity in the West was due to the wheat famine abroad yet omitted to say that in the last presidential campaign he had trumpet ed all over the land the argument that the then low price of wheat was all due to the gold standard-that free silver would remedy the whole business and was in short cure for all the then prevailing hard times
 | MT. Bryan was well received and honored in New Haven by his follow CTS. Apropos to the Bryan political campaign now in course of eruption in the East is the following lively comment from the New York Mail and Express of Thursday: Cash wheat sold yesterday at s1.OS1s and May de- livery touched s1.091a. Other cereals shared in this advance, as did also pro- visions. Europe wants more wheat than ever and wants it quicker. It pays the bill and the American farmer gets the cash. It comes to him. too. in one hundred cents to-the dollar

money This is what the west has been waiting for ever since 1892, when it went over en masse to the democratic- populistic alliance and to poverty and trouble. Fifty-cent dollars in payment for food products would not aid mate rially in the cancelling of farm mort gages and the purchase of new farm implements-two things to indicate the returned prosperity of the Western farmer-and which are reported from every State west of Ohio. Trade on the Atlantic seacoast has slackened on account of war prospects, or because of overproduction, as in cotton and print cloths; but from Chicago to the Pacific coast the prosperity of the farmer maintains activity and better prices in all lines of business"

ON THE EYE.

ON THE EVE.
 It is meet that the men who are clam orously calling for war with Spain should not overlook what MT. McKin- leys wise course has already accom- plished in behalf of Cuba. Peace hath her victories no less than war; MT. Mckinley has done nobly in his admin istration of affairs Step by step he has intervened. The cry is for inter vention. That is what MT. Mckinley has been doing right along and great things has he already accomplished by Christian diplomacy and firm hand What has he done? The New York Evening Post pithily and forcefully ex- presses it thus "He has brought about complete change of Spanish policy The cruel General Weyler, who was the author of the worst horrors, has been recalled. His victims have been allowed to return to their homes; $6O0,- 900 have been voted by Spain for their relief, and they have been allowed to receive just as much bounty as we in America please to bestow on them. Moreover, autonomy, or relief from rul- CTS sent over from Spain, has been of- fered to the island and is thankfully accepted by all that portion of the pop ulation which will be of the slightest use to Cuba in carrying on civilized government hereafter. Last of all, an arnistice or cessation of hostilities has been offered to the insurgents, so that the future fate of the island may be settled by peaceful discussion, instead of massacre and devastation. All this has been accomplished by intervention, but peaceful intervention. We cannot recall case in history in which one man has accomplished so much, with out firing shot or losing a single life.''
 All this has the President accom- plished and Congress will act most wisely if it continues in his hands the power to act in this matter. A strong element in Congress already favors this course. There is no danger to the country's honor if the matter is left in his hands. All that he has done thus far in this most trying and responsible situation rebounds to his honor and the countrys honor. The New York Times points to what the President and his immediate predecessor in the chair have accomplished by 'the steadily in- creasing pressure to which the Execu- tive has subjected the Spanish govern ment.
 Congress should yield to the wishes of the President and clothe him with the power he asks for. Then if all else fails, the nation will resort to war. Thrice armed is he that hath his quar- rel just" If war must come, as now seems inevitable, the nation will rise as one man for the glory and honor of the old flag. The awful tragedy in Ha- vana harbor remains to be atoned for, and if war comes, the rallying cry will be, Remember the Maine'' Spain's people are rising in a mad demand for war. The Spanish dynasty is threat ened with overthrow. That country, therefore, may be forced by the popu- lace to withhold the further concessions that this country asks. The President by judicious delay and backed by Con- gress has put the country in shape for war.
 Let us hope that Congress will fol- low the lead of President Mckinley but in any case if war comes there will be a grand uprising for the flag.

not going to be the necessary thing to line all open stuffs with silk, and pret- ty colored lawns will be much used. while some of the cotton satines and farmers satins are so well made that, unless the transparency is too open the effect except for lack of swish, is about that of silk. In many cases where the lining skirt is of muslin, it is run with tiny frills, or made lovely by insertions of lace or by row on row of fiat-laid satin ribbon. Where the skirt is to be thus elaborated it is considered better to make it of muslin as yielding better to needlework than silk.
 Here is bodice that had silk for it's foundation, and should hardly be at tempted with other materials. It's white taffeta was covered by the pretty arrangement of white chiffon that gave the pointed yoke. This was bor- dered with three frills Of very narrow white satin ribbon, and then in alter nate rows came chiffon ruffles and satin ribbon frills. Belt and stock col lar were white satin ribbon, and chif- fon covered the sleeves, with ribbon quillings to match the front. This bodice hooked in back.
 Embroidered gauge blouses low neck ed and with mere openings for sleeves worn over tight fitting satin waists. Where the satin shows above the gauge it Is elaborated by embroidery to match that in the gauge. This prevents anyone suspecting that the gauge bodice was meant to go over more than enc waist.

Baltimore Sun: The decision of the Supreme court of the State of Wash ington in respect to a law passed by the State legislature at it's last session, virtually forbidding contracts requir- ing payment to be made in gold, is to the effect that the law is unconstitu- tional and void, 'as being an attempt to legislate on a subject belonging ex- clusively to the federal government" l" A stipulation In a note or mortgage that the debt shall be paid only in gold coin is held to be valid Another act of the Washington legislature, provid- ing that the proceedings for foreclos- ure of mortgages, etc., should be fram- ed wholly in the interest of the debtor, was pronounced "incongruous and virtually set aside.

New York Mail and Express: The good sense of congress will, we trust, finally prevail and lead it to move up to the position of President Mckinley that this is not the time for the recog- nition of the existing Cuban republic. The single fact that such an act, on the eve of intervention to restore peace in Cuba, would be regarded by Great Britain and by the other friendly pow CTS as an encouragement to causeless revolt in their respective colonies, should operate to delay such action. But that consideration of international comity is not the only one which should appeal to us. There are possible com- plications, financial and other, attend ing the recognition of the existing gov- ernment before the sovereignty of Spain is swept from the island, which should stay the inopportune action proposed by Senator Foraker and the minority of the senate committee on foreign relations.
