Mrs. +. w. Jones, the REGISTERS

chigger prescription in her letter this
week that Is worth the price of this
paper for year. "a sponge bath

George Rhoades, OF Salem, will b. de-

considering the child's condition a
few months ago, and it Is needless to
say that the parents are owe rjoyed.

Washington and Madrid Governments,
other than change of ministers.-Buffalo
Express.
Mr.. Dupuy de LONE has furnished a
new illustration of the duplicity Of Span
ish Observation-Disclosures Journal.
Minister de LONE has learned the truth
Of the old adage that speech is silver and
silence is golden.-Rochester Union and
Advertiser.
The Spanish minister at Washington
has grossly insulted the chief executive
of this republic. He should be peremp-
torily dismissed Washington Star.
Spanish Minister Dupuy de LONE seems
TO have fallen into the same maestrom
that overwhelmed Lord Sackville- West
some years ago.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
Minister de LONE expressed his poor
opinion Of Americans in print many years
ago. After apologizing for that he should
not have repeated the offense.-St. Louis
GlobeDemocrat.
Dupuy de LONE has been writing in
Spanish what he thinks of President Nc
Kinley, and will now walk Spanish in
order that President Mckinley may ex-
press his opinion of Dupuy de LONE
Louisville Post.
Every American citizen will feel humil-
lated if in the interest of peace President
Mckinley ignores the insult. What the
President should do is to give De LONE
his passports forthwith, and then await
explanation.-St. Louis Republic.
The consequences growing out of this
matter would not be serious were any
other power concerned, but with Spain
involved there is no telling what may be
the result of it.-Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
What Spanish minister may say of
this country is Of small account compared
to the iendish atrocities of SPANS rule
in Cuba. They ought to be stopped before
even an insulting foreign minister can
be sent home.-New York Sun.
A just judge is not swayed from the
path of rectitude by the offensive bearing
of either litigant's attorney. This Gov
eminent will still obey the dictates of rea
son and OF justice, and 1t is to be believed
that in so doing it will command the con-
tinued friendship of Spain and at the
same time serve the ends of peace and of
humanity in Cuba.-New York Tribune.
In Cuba the instruction and its lead
ers will be encouraged, as Senior de LONE,
like Gen. Weyler, returns foiled to Mad
rid. In the United States fresh con-
tempt will be felt for this expression of
sentiments for which every consideration
demanded concealment and which in the
case Of the Spanish minister, his long,
courteous and hospitable treatment should
have precluded.-Philadelph Press.

mcmbers Of the expedition that was ship
wrecked on the lille couple Of weeks
ago. The arms and AMMUNITION for this
last expedition are said to have been car
ricd from New York by the steam lighter
Agnes. The Agnes left the other night,
putting into Bridgeport the next morning.
The following afternoon, while she was
watched by detectives, she suddenly
steamed out into the sound. She had n
thirty-foot naphtha launch in tow, and
her officers gave out that they were bound
for Newport. Twenty-four hours later,
however, the Agnes put into New Lon
don, again sailing at nightfall, heading In
the direction Of Montauk. A vessel that
the Agnes is reported to have met Is not
known, although the name Is mentioned
OF steam yacht owned by Baltimore
millionaire, which came from New Lon
don few weeks ago with an unusual
quantity of arms on board. These, 1t was
said by her officers, were to be used in re-
polling possible pirates In the Mediterra-
mean. The detectives suspected filibus-
tering intentions and kept a close watch
on her. She disappeared, and 1t is be-
leved that she met the Agnes of the
Long Island coast.

TO CLOSE ALL MILLS.
TEXTILE STRIKE TO BE MADE
GENERAL.
Representatives of New England Tex
tile Unions Reach an Important De-
cision at Boston Operatives to Be
Called Out--Trade Conditions.



The conference of textile delegates held
On Boston recommended a general strike
In all cotton mills in New England. The
meeting was called by President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation Of
Labor, Secretary Ross of the National
Mule Spinners' Association and others to
devise ways and means to assist the cloth
mill strikers. Forty-two delegates, rep
resenting every textile union in New Eng
land, responded, and, though the meeting
LASTED four hours, it was one Of the most
harmonious ever held by labor leaders.
1T is estimated that there are $4,000 cot
ton operatives in the New England States,
and that if the strike order should be
Favored by the various organizations fully
145,000 would be affected. Soon after
convening the measures for securing
financial aid were carefully canvassed and
ways and means devised to receive more
prompt assistance from the unions afiil-
lated with the federation. After fully
discussing the situation the following mo-
tion was unanimously carried: Voted,
That we recommend for the favorable
consideration Of all unions the ACCESSIBILITY
of ordering all cotton textile operatives to
quit work at once"

positive terms to inform the Madrid au-
thorities that the United States did not
consider that De Lome's resignation in
any way disposed of Spanish responsible
ity for the sentiments expressed in his
letter. Spain was given to understand
that she was expected to disavow not only
the insulting references to President Nc
Kinlcy, but also De Lome's apparent ex-
posurc of the Spanish plot to deceive this
country in regard to the reciprocity me-
gotiations. 1t was presumed by the Unit
ed States that Senior de LONE knew what
he was talking about when he requested
Senior Canalejas to send a man to Wash
ington to negotiate a reciprocity treaty,
"evcn though 1t would be only for effect"
This was construed as an evidence of in
tended insincerity on the part Of the Span
ish Government, and the State Depart
ment took the ground that it would be
impossible to continue diplomatic rela-
lions with country which started out
with the declaration that It does not mean
what It says. Minister Woodford was
therefore instructed to notify Spain that
there must be disavowal not only of the
unfriendly sentiments In De Lome's let
ter, but also of its apparent deceitfulness.
Something very much In the nature of an
ultimutum was placed in the hands of the
Sagasta Government. Minister Wood
ford In effect told the Spaniards that IL
they did not disavow the De LONE letter,
and do it quickly, he would pack up his
things and leave Madrid.

SHE LIKED SAILING.
How a shrewd Woman Got the Best of
a Steamship Company.

How shrewd Woman Got the Best of
a Steamship Company.
The following true tale is a most
curious instance of living on nothing
for years without breaking the laws of
the land. About twenty years ago a
steam packet company Of Liverpool
wished to buy piece of land which
was owned by n 'stay-at-home spin
ster," as her neighbors described her.
She sold the land at a very low price,
but insisted upon n clause being in
serted in the agreement giving her the
right, at any time during her life, to
travel with companion in any of the
company's vessels.
When the agreement was closed she
sold her furniture and went on board
the first outgoing ship belonging to the
packet company. For years this wise
spinster lived nearly all the time on
one ship or another, frequently accom-
panied by a companion, according to
the agreement. This was always a per-
son who otherwise would have been a
regular passenger, but who purchased
her ticket at reduced rates by paying
the spinster instead Of the packet COM
pany. The company offered her more
than twice the value OF the land II she
would give up her privilege, but this
she would not do. Her reply was:
you got the land cheap, and like
sailing, so we ought both to be satis-
ned.r

This order for canned goods is intended as

TERROR IN THE kLoNoIKe.

Food Cache.
The War Department has made public
the advices received from Captain Ray
of the Eighth Infantry, who was sent to
Alaska to report on conditions in the min.
ing country. The report, while written
i'm calm, dispassionate strain, is sensa-
tional in the extreme in its disclosures,
and shows beyond all doubt that a reign
of terror Is on in the Klondike country.
Many of the gold seekers are desperate,
and in one case two score of them, armed
with rifles, surrounded the captain and,
with menacing words and actions, en-
deavored to prevent him from taking pos
session, In the name OF the Government,
of one of the transportation company's
food caches.
Starvation stares the Klondikers i'm the
face, and In order TO stave off the evil
day as long as possible Captain Ray has
raised the American flag over the various
stocks OF provisions and will personally
superintcnd the distribution Of rations.
The entire country Is ovcrrun with out
laws. and the captain asks that an armed
force be sent to the far north for the pro-
lection of life and property, with instruc-
tons to hunt the outlaws to the death.
The various transportation companies are
severely denounced for the part they have
played In flooding the country with people
for whom there are not enough provisions
TO last the winter through, and the Presi-
dent and Congress are asked to sustain
Captain Ray In any radical action he may
be forced to take In order to save human
life.

GOOD TRADE CONDITIONS.
Spring Trade Is Opening Early in the
Middle West.

Spring Trade Is Opening Early in the
Middle West.
r. G.. Dun e. Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: Business is pushing toward
spring activity rather early. Events which
have controlled are good buying Of iron
by the largest makers, the rise in cotton
with strength in goods, the great railway
consolidation and the Cuban insurrection.
The latter, with its possibilities, operates
as brake on speculation. The output Of
pig iron Feb. was 229, 1913 tons weekly,
the largest in the history of the business.
The Illinois Steel Company has contract
ed for 100000 tons Bessemer ore, and
producers of other ranges count upon an
advance in price. Bessemer pig rose to
$10.15, and gray forge to SO at Pittsburg,
with finished products generally stronger
and in larger demand than ever at this
season. January was one Of the biggest
months in Connelsville coke output-623,.
975 tons. The rise in cotton, 5-16c for the
week, results in part from better pros.
poets for manufacture here and abroad,
but only in part. The actual movement
shows no change of consequence, but
prices of goods have stronger tone, and
foreign prospects are better. Wool sales
at the chief cities were only 5,093, zoe
pounds for the week. Prices are still
strong. The opening Of works idle for
years, in spite of the heavy production
already assured, is n striking feature in
this as in the iron and other industries,
and implies heavier demands for products
than are now met by the unprecedented
output. Failures for the week have been
295 in the United States, against 267 last
year, and 43 in Canada, against 81 last
year,

EXPOSES SPANISH TRIcKERY.
One Effect Which the Publication of
the De LONE Letter Has Had.


In one aspect of the case the people of
The United States regard the publication
of the De LONE letter as having its ad-
vantageous side. This is in the exposure
it has furnished of the disgraceful dupli-
city and trickery which the Spanish Gov
eminent has been employing in its pre-
tended negotiations for the conclusion of
a commercial treaty involving American
trade with Cuba. AS it is impossible that
the late minister should have been con-
Quoting such n game on his own account
and without the knowledge Of his employ
ers the Government cannot escape respon-
sibility for the intended fraud.
So far as Minister De LONE is concern
ed his relations with this country have
absolutely ceased and the incident is clos
ed. His resignation and its acceptance
by the Spanish cabinet eliminated his
personality entirely. According to Wash
ington advices the President was at no
time particularly annoyed by Senior de
Lome's offensive remark. Minister Wood
ford, however, was instructed in the most
