Tornado Boats and Their usc

While the coming Of the Spanish tor

says that the torpedo boat is not essen

speed. The size and weight OF the bat
tleship is the reason. She plows~ steadily
through the ave which are from 40 to
1000 feet in length. and makes a level
path for herself. The path OF the torpc-
do boat Is an up and down one owing to
her light weight. Her estimated speed
Is always for smooth harbor water and

Another important point to be consid-

The necessity OF the boat approaching

limits her to night attacks. Experiments

National Guard in War.

Some time since the 1ntellisencer had
an article showing the status Of the Ma
t!onal Guard organizations OF the varl-
Gus states. and their liabilities In the
event OF war with a foreign country. 1t
now seems that the view then taken was
correct and that the militia law on the
federal statute books, as construed by
the war department, promises to somc-
what handicap the President In the way
OF limiting his powers should war occur.
Major j. ". Morrison, assistant to the
Judge advocate general OF the army. in
n statement, after looking into the mat
ter, gives It as his opinion that
not one of the three contin-
gencies in which the Presl-
dent can call out the National Guard, az
an organization, is likely to occur. 1T
has been assumed, says Major Morrison,
'.oy the National Guard OF the states,
as well as by their governors and people,
that in the case OF war with Spain the
President will at once call into service
the organized militia, as such. Under
the constitution and the laws the Presi-
dent can only call them into service to
enforce the laws OF the United States, to

ATime for Goodness.

The climax to the great crisis Is ex-
pectcd to be reached to-day, when the
President will send to Congress hts
message. According to the seml-oflcial
forecasts that have been given out there
Is every reason TO believe that the docu-
ment will meet with tho approval of the
country. 1t will be firm In tone and
fully justify Congress in having waited
for Il. Cuban independence and the
Maine disaster. It Is seid. will be treated
OF. and there will be no temporizlns with
the situation. and whatever recommen-
datlons are made will be based upon
logical conclusions.
Unless the suasion Of the powers that
offer mediation Is effective with Spain,
there is little doubt that war will be the
result Of the crisis, unless some unfore-
seen circumstance i%ntervenes. The
United States will not yield a point that
would lead to a thoroughly satisfactory
solution of the problems Involved. and

must be In the direction OF persuading
Spain to accept 4 situation that means
Cuban independence and a settlement
OF the other account this government
has with her.
Whatever may be the outcome it is the
duty OF Congress- and the public to trust
the President as they have In the past.
He will need the support OF the whole
country. The man who seeks to drag
partisan politics into a common cause
OF all the people. in a var with a foreign
power. is not the best citizen, nor is he
inspired by patriotic impulses. All do
nestle issues should for the moment be
laid aside. There Is no time for criti-
cism or fault finding. The issue is too
grave to be considered in any manner
save from the, standpoint OF united
AmerIcanism. The President OF the
United States IS not only the Chief Mag
istrate. but is the Commander-in-Ch Chief.
A tremendous personal as well as off,
cial responsibility Is upon him. Loyalty
to him in this hour and In the develop
ments that nay come as a result o.
what may occur within the next few
days is loyalty to the country.

past few days the GOODNESS and self
poise OF. the people OF the country. which
have received so severe a test but which
have asserted themselves In spite of the
inpadence OF agitators and their unjust
reflections upon the efforts OF the Presf-

The Dukes Grievance.

The possible cause OF the duke OF

him to speak of President Mckinley as

cord. which reviews the history of the
visit of this descendant Of Christopher
Columbus 10 the worlds fairas the guest
Of the United States. 1t will be re-
mcmbered that after the duke had been
here for some time, and had been feaat-
ed and entertained at public expense. 1t
was given out that he was In poor nnan-
clal circumstances.
Enthusiasts Immediately responded
and a movement was started TO raise a
voluntary fund for the duke, as n trIb-
ute to his personality as the llncal de-
scendant Of the great d~iscovcrer. After
strenuous efforts were made. appeals
being sent all over the country, the

the circumstances that the duke feels

States the victors in the civil war had
not been slow in inaugurating con-

piciOn of narrOwness or OF harboring
resentment. The question of the voting
population here cannot be put aside
or he'd off.
Mr.. Ena agreed entirely with the
Minister Of Finance and wished TO add
that in his opinion the complete par
don of the political prisoners out on
parole would be an act of kindness and
wisdom and would add strength to the
Government.
Mr.. Wilder had hoped that this
whole question would have been pre-
sented formally by the Executive
Council. In the absence of such intro
duction Of the topic he would refrain
from any comment or remarks. He
had been led to believe that the subject
would have discussion at this meet

in making an expression of opinion.
In answer to Mr. WIder's question
