and measures 5 feet and II inches. 1t

The story that prevailed on the
streets for a time and found some Gre
dence in the dispatches, that Spain had
ceded Cuba to Austria, is absurd. AS
suming it to be true, it would amount
to nothing. Having declared that Spain
has of right no more authority over
Cuba, has demonstrated her incompe-
tency to govern the island, and that
we have entered upon the task of paci-
flying it and enabling the people to es-
tablish a Government of their own
choosing, Austria could acquire no title
We would recognize no transfer of the
ridden people of Cuba from one mon

GIVING AND TAKING BLOWS.

There is no need to become hysterical
over war news in these days. Those
who passed through the four wears
war of the rebellion know how use
less it is to give the nerves undue ex-
ercise regarding war bulletins. We
must expect reverses. There can be no
war in the true sense where one fellow
does all the fighting We have gone
into this conflict with our eyes open.
and with full knowledge of the fact
that the enemy is not meanly equipped.
but has ability to do us much damage.
None knew this better than the men
of the navy. They at least expect some
reverses. But we have reason to be-
lieve that these will in the main be met
in the early days Of the conflict We
are bound to win in this fight. but like
all struggles between nations, we ex-
pect to receive as. well as to give blows.
Nothing is better established now
than the fact that President Mckinley
and his advisers of the Cabinet knew
precisely the truth about our state of
preparedness for war. What was seem
ing annoying and useless delay IS
now seen to have been simple precau-
ton to get into something of the order
of readiness before making assault and
inviting return in like.

Congress has hestitated strangely
concerning the offer of Mrs. G. G. Hub

rich art and literary collection to the

the hesitation is based upon sensitive
ness on the part of the Government roll
atlve to placing itself in the attitude
Of beneficiary. The Hubbard col
lection consists of a magnificent store
OF art books and of rare and superior
plates and engrayings. Among other
things there are plates by Rembrandt.
Albrecht Durer, Piranesi, Raphael
Morghen, Teniers and many early Eng
lish and French masters. The histor-
ical portraits are very numerous. there
being something like 800 of Napoleon
alone. The collection of American en-
cravings is large and superior Mrs
Hubbard offers this collection to the
Congressional Library, with condl-
/ tions, however, because she thinks it
is the proper place for the safekeeping
of such an art gathering She offers
to add to the collection at an expense
of $4,000 to complete certain links in
the historical chain of the collection
All she asks is that Congress shall
pledge itself to care for the works and
to dispose them in suitable building, or
galleryin any part Of the library build
ing, and that it shall be known as the
I -
Gardiner Green Hubbard Gallery 1t is
possible that it is this condition that
causes Congressional hesitation. The
collection is most desirable, and 1t
would add immensely to the value of
the library. But it is probably urged
that the Congressional is not an art Ii
brary or art gallery. Also that it is not
by any means clear that the Govern
ment should commit itself to accepting
any gift with conditions, though it has
certainly done SO in the case of the
Smithsonian Institution and in the re-
lation it has to the Corcoran Art Gal
lery, which precedents seem to be suf-
ficient to warrant acceptance of Mrs

as their opponents have been playing for
several weeks and are at present near the
top iii the Baltimore Bowling League, the
result was satisfactory.
The Columbias developed a good style of
play and were particularly expert in bowl
ing difficult spares. Stitt and Desio each
made $40, DR.. Kicker made rs and Won
