A CONTRAST. NOT A PRECEDENT.

In 1885 the relations between this country
and France were strained because of the
long delay of the latter government in pay
ing for vessels belonging to citizens of the
United States which had been captured by
Napoleon. President Jackson had lost pa
thence and directed the American minister
to pack up and come home unless. the
French government should promptly make
provision to pay the claim. On Feb. 26
President Jackson sent a special message
to the House setting forth the situation and
expressing confidence that Congress would
do all that would be necessary TO maintain
the rights and honor of the country. On
March the House, which was in political
accord with the President, unanimously de-
clared that preparations ought to be made
to meet any emergency growing out of our
relations with France. The next day an
amendment was offered to the Notifications

vague charges against him that of incom-

of not understanding his business. The
Journal believes that he does understand it

fact that any change, seven the election of
an equally competent man, is bound TO

Some curious and amusing tactics are be-

election of Superintendent Goss-tactics
that seem to indicate decided weakness

assuming that his defeat is certain, and
in advising him. through convenient news

suffer the humiliation of rejection. The

nor in that of the School Board. a ma

A dispatch says that the old Dahlgren
guns will be utilized by the government in
case of war. These guns were among the
best in their day, and are by no means out
of date yet. Their inventor, Admiral Dahl
gren, of the United States navy, was of
Swedish extraction and a blood relative of
Ericsson, inventor of the Monitor of civil
war renown The Monitor carried two
eleven-inch Dahlgren guns, and with this
comparatively small armament she beat
back the Merrimack in the most celebrated
naval engagement of that period.

Some members of Congress are said to be
disposed to recognize the independence of
Cuba regardless of the action of the Presi-
dent. Upon reflection they will probably
conclude that recognition is an execu-
tive act. In December, 1896, when a
joint resolution was introduced in the
Senate acknowledging and recognizing
the independence of Cuba, Secretary
Olney gave to the press a declara-
ton that the resolution if passed by both
houses would be only IAN expression of
opinion ny the eminent gentlemen who
might vote for it, He declared further:
The power to recognize the so-called
republic Of Cuba as an Independent state
rests exclusively with the executive. A
resolution on the subject by both bodies,
or by one, whether concurrent or not Is
only as advice of treat weight voluntarily
rendered TO the executive regarding the
manner in which he shall exercise his con-
stitutional function.
This declaration caused considerable
comment. Under the Constitution the point
is not as clear as it might be- but the weight
of authority leans to the side that recogni-
ton of the independence of a struggling
people or new government belongs to the
President, though the approval and co-op-
Grafton of Congress is essential to make it
effective.

Heavy Rain at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, March 1.-THE steady down
pour of rain for the past five days has rot
excited alarm, but there is strong prob
ability that some regions of the Mississippi
valley will suffer the disasters OF a food.
The fall has been exceedingly heavy, and
for the past forty eight hours the river has
risen steadily at the rate of an inch Ter
hour. The rain extends generally all over
Missouri and the eastern Mississippi valley.
Local Observer Frankenfield states that the
rainfall for March has already passed the
average fall by 2.79 inches Tonight at
midnight the river gauge registered twenty
two feet, with a probability that il would
reach twenty-five feet by morning. In the
district south of the city along tie river
known as Little Oklahoma" the river is
almost over the banks, and the inhabitants
worked all day in the pouring rain TO re-
move their belongings TO places of safety.
Almost the whole territory pres enIs the
spectacle of q swamp. in places MANY acres
being inundated. AT midnight the rain con-
tinued steadily, and 1t was growing collier.
AT Ellsbury, Mo-, freight train was
wrecked by a washout and three negro
tramps were killed. AT Louisiana, Mo-, rail
and wagon roads are washed out, the Mis-
sssippi river is rising rapidly and all trains
are badly delayed. Dispatches from other
points in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Me-
braska and parts of Texas tell of severe
storms and considerable loss to live stock.
At Denison and Dallas, Tex, freezing
weather is reported, and the fruit crop may
be seriously damaged.

ARMENIA AT OUR DOORS.

The American people have known in a
general way for more than year past that
much suffering and starvation prevailed in
Cuba. This situation was bad enough be-
fore Butcher Weyler issued his concen-
tration order. but it has become immeasura-
bly, worse since. That order was issued in
October, 1896 BY it's terms the rural popu-
lation of the four western provinces were
required within eight days to congregate
within certain towns, there to remain till
the war over. At the same time the
army was ordered to burn and ravage the
country, leaving nothing that could help to
sustain human life. These orders were exc
cuted with the alacrity that always charac-
teriZes Spanish troops in executing orders
which involve little danger and much cruel
ty. AT the beginning OF 1897, according to
a trustworthy correspondent, the concern

about 400 600. In six of the stations in
Pinar del Rio there were 1900 concentrates.
of whom at least 10000 had died by May /,
1897. The policy of starvation and murder
thus inaugurated a year and half ago has
been continued ever since, with constantly
increasing horrors. All those who have re-
Gently visited Cuba, including Senators
Proctor, Gallinger, Thurston and others,
unite in saying that the horrors of the sit
uation at present under the joint operation
of famine and disease, are entirely beyond
the power of language to describe Senator
Proctor says that 100000 of the corralled
people have died within the tst few months,
and Senator Gallinger estimates the total
number of deaths since the issuance of the
order at 100000. In atrocity and cruelty this
is only equaled in modern times by the
Turkish Armenian massacres in 1895, and
even these did not destroy as many lives
According to a summary in the London
Times after the massacres had ceased the
total number of Armenians actually killed
did not exceed 10000 TO $4,000, though the
number reduced to the verge of starvation
was much greater. The great heart of the
American people was deeply stirred by the
atrocities in Armenia, but those in Cuba ap-
peal for sympathy, relief and intervention
even more strongly because they are so
much nearer. Through the cruelty of Span
ish rule we have Armenia at our doors.

Starr. according to the information con-

fourth floor. He arrived in the city from
Leadville only the day previous to the fire
and had engaged lodging at the Hale House
upon his arrival in the city. Starr had been
drinking on the evening of the fire and had
retired to his room in an intoxicated condi-
ton. 1t is believed Starr was In such
condition of helplessness that he could not

other two were residents of Butte. but out
