WAR IN THE SENATE.
Urging a Declaration Without the Ac-
 tion of the President.

Washington, April At was frankly and openly charged in the senate to- day by MT. Perkins of California in a set speech that Spain was responsible | for the Maine disaster, as it had been brought about by Spanish machina- tions and Spanish treachery. The speech of MT. Perkins was only one O1 four prepared addresses on the Cuban question delivered in the senate today.
 MT. Clay of Georgia, while hoping for peaceful settlement of the prob lem the country is now facing, de- clared strongly in favor of the inde- pendence of the Cubans and pledged to the administration the, loyal sup port of the south, which in the event of war would have to bear the brunt of the conflict. MT. Perkins took sub stantially the same grounds and his vigorous treatment of the Maine dis aster aroused the crowded galleries to enthusiastic applause.
 Mr. Mantle of Montana while ex- pressing confidence in the ad1linistra- tion, maintained that the time for ac- tion had now arrived, that action must be taken and that Cuba should be free. MT. Rawlins of Utah entirely eliminated the president from consid- eration in his speech, holding that the case against Spain was already made up and that upon congress rested the responsibility of declaring war; Forcing us to wait only invited criticism. He declared for the most vigorous ac- tion immediately. After the Cuban speeches had been delivered the sen ate resumed consideration of the sun- dry civil bill and finished thirty pages before adjourning.
 MT. Pettigrew of South Dakota pre- sented a telegram signed by more than a hundred of his constituents, which said: "All parties here want the Spanish flotilla turned back or de- stroyed. Our patience is exhausted J MT. Gear of Iowa presented a resolu- tion of the legislature endorsing the action of the president and congress upon the Cuban question and pledging its support to the administration.
 MT. Turner of Washington intro duced a resolution which he asked should go over until tomorrow if iii the meantime nothing has been done in the matter. The resolution re- quires the committee on foreign af- fairs to report at the earliest moment without waiting for the concurrence or advice of any department of the government, which action, if any, in view of the disaster to the Maine and the deplorable condition of Cuban af- fairs should be taken to preserve the honor and dignity of this country.
 Quite unexpectedly a discussion of the Cuban question was precipitated and two set speeches were delivered upon it. MT. Clay of Georgia made a strong plea for the independence of Cuba basing his remarks upon the Foraker resolution. He maintained, however, that the president ought to be offered every opportunity to bring about diplomatic solution of the diff ficulty

Washington, April 4.-The two tion in Washington today were the presidents message and European mediation, which now has taken an active form in the courts of Europe ac- cording to advices received at foreign embassies there, though no proffer has been made to the United States.
 Regarding the first, it can be stated that it is fully expected by the admin istration that the messagew ill be sent to congress on Wednesday in all prob ability, and certainly by Thursday. Members of McKinley's cabinet and his friends in congress stated definitely today that it will deal vigorously with the question, will include the Maine incident and make definite recom- mendations to congress, one of which will be a recognition of Cuban inde- pendence. As to mediation by Europe or the pope, they declare that these material and moral powers must ex- ercise their suasion on Spain,, for this
  pendence of Cuba as an ultimate sine qua non unless the insurgents them selves should consent to less, and this they have fiatly refused to do.
 Speaking on this point, one of the cabinet officers said today: "You can say for me that all the powers of Eu- rope and all the heads of churches may propose mediation to Spain if they desire,. but the United States will posi- lively not listen to mediation of any kind that does not lead to the accept ance of our condition, which is the in- dependence of Cuba"
 :. EUROPE MOVING.
 Notwithstanding many reports of European mediation, they assumed their first tangible form this afternoon when at 1eas. two of the European es- tablishments in Washington received notification that an exchange of notes between the great powers was in progress with a view of arriving at a basis on which they could make a
 
 evident that the exchange has not yet been productive of a common under standing, as the ambassadors at Wash ington have not yet received instruc- tions to initiate the movement.
 Their nly information thus far is that notes are passing by telegraph be- tween the capitals of Europe. It had been understood that France and Austria were the most active in bring ing about this movement and that Great Britain had held aloof from it but it developed today that the British government was also taking part in the exchange, and that in case of con- certed action by the powers Great Britain would probably act with tht others. What common ground tht powers are seeking to reach can only be conjectured.
 The Spanish government seems tt be hopeful of results from this move

Washington, April 4.-After a con ference between certain members of the house committee on foreign affairs and certain republicans of the senate committee on foreign relations with a view to concerted action, the com mittee appointed by the conference of house republicans which had several meetings last week, decided to post pone the meeting of the conference which was to have been held tonight until Il o'clock Wednesday morning.
 If it is apparent at that time that there is to be further delay in the transmission of the message, the re- publicans of both house and senate say they will wait no longer, and action along the line of the Foraker armed intervention resolution with a strong reference to the blowing up of the Maine is to be pressed at both ends of the capitol.

an aspersion against the religion OF
Spain. The war is not one Of re

WHAT is known rs the Working
mems Compensation Act went into
operation in Great Britain on the
first of the present month, and has
attracted widespread attention. 1t
is looked upon as one of the greatest
boons that have been conferred on
workingmen in modern times. The
law makes an employer responsible
for any injuries his wOrkmen may re
ceive, unless it is proven that such in
juries were caused by the workman's
own gross and wilful carelessness,
and the burden of proving that neg
ligence is thrown upon the employer
All that workman now requires to
do is to intimate merely the fact of
his having been injured. The law
thereupon not only holds the EN-
ployer liable in compensation but at
once fixes the amount. If the work
man is incapacitated for more than
two weeks he is entitled to half his
weekly wages, during the period OF
his sickness or incapacity. The EN-
ployer may demand an examination
by the medical referee, but subject to
this the workman is secure of his
sick pay. In case of death rs the re
suit of an accident the workman
relations are entitled to n sum equaI
to his earnings for three years. One
of the principal objects of enacting
the law in Great Britain was to put
an end to the eternal litigation grow
ing out of injury TO workmen, which
usually benefits the lawyers to
larger extent than the litigants. Th'
law appears to give promise OF grea

OUR VOLUNTEER ARMY
Forces the Admission From Foreign Repre-
sentatives That Our Soldiers Are
the Finest in the World

Washington. July 26.-Adjutant Gem
eral Corbin last night made public a
statement Of the progress made in the
organization of the volunteer and reEu-
lar armies Of the United states up to
and including July "a In the 90 days
which have elapsed since the president
isued his first call ror volunteers an
army of 2G1, 400 men have been recruit
cd, mustered, equipped and placed in
the field, an achievement that has
elictcd surprise and admiration from
the best informed military authorities
of Europe
The personnel of the army Is far su-
periOr to that of any body of men
hitherto raised for military purposes by
the United States. Every man recruit
ed whether for the regular or for the
volunteer army, has undergone a care
full physical examination conducted by
disintprcsted and competent officers.
As a general preparation therefore, the
army is physically without a flaw.
Quite naturally, the requirements for
the regular service are more rigid than
those for the volunteers because re-
cruits for the regular army, being con-
sidered merely as individuals, are
obliged to undergo a more severe eX-
animation than the volunteers, many
Of whom are taken into the service as
organizations The statement indicates
that only one i'm four applicants for adj
mission to the regular army was ac-
cepted by the mastering officers and
medical examiners. In this way a no.
tahly high class Of men have been Sc
cured for the army.
OF the 2l65OO volunteers authorized
by congress. 212,0OO have been placed in
the field, nearly all of them fully equip
ped. In a few days the entire volunteer
army win be thoroughly organized into
regiments, brigades divisions and
army corps. The aptitude for military
discipline and instructions which the
volunteers have evinced. has created
surprise among the representatives of
foreign governments with the United
States army. They agree that the
Americans are the finest soldiers in the
world.
