The message will be treated by Con-

CONCERNING THE CULT OF AN
CESTRY.


CESTRY.
| have thought for some time that
ancestors, both male and female,
ought to be kept for home consump-
ton only. My belief has been strength
ened by reading newspaper accounts
OF a recent function, held in Hotel Pam
demonium Take a few Christmas
pantomimes, medieval play, two or
three vaudeville turns and add some
lime light, according to taste. Stir the
whole vigorously, and you have an
American make-believe coronation.
The great bulk Of the American peo-
pie can only be interested in Ameri-
can history by being made to search
for their ancestors. We have now
reached the period when we are begin
ming to take notice. The result is
large annual crop of books on genoa
logy and a long list Of societies form
ed on ancestral qualifications.
In dealing with these societies the
word only is of great importance:
l. The Daughters of the Revolution
admit only women descended from Of
ficers Of Washington's army. But as
a surprisingly large number OF exceed
ingly plain people claim this descent,
it has been found necessary to form
an inner circle of women who call
themselves
2. Colonial Danes.
3. The Aztec admits only descend
ants of soldiers having fought in Mex
leo
The names Of the only other socie-
ties explain themselvs, such as:
4 The Social Order Of Foreign Wars.
5. The Children Of 1912.
6. The Sons Of the Revolution, ana
Z. The Mayfower Order.
8. The Royal Order of the Crown is
composed only of those who can prove
a descent from royal ancestors, ana
Q The Circle of Holland Danes OF
New Netherlands, only Of women VINO
are descended from a sovereign OF the
Low Countries.
The tendency is evidently towards
making these societies more and more
onIy-only until the qualifications VIII
become so difficult that only one PEI
son At a time can belong to them
II is comical to see these Revolution
ary societies clarifying men who IN
their day led the rabble. rebeiiious
against established institutions, Festen
interests. law and order.
Do the lady daughters and gentie-
men sons realize that they are taking
sides with what were the lower classes
against the upper? That they are
boasting of their descent from danger
Gus demagogues who called themselves
patriots? That they are extolling iar-
mers mechanics. anarchy, mop RUE,
rovol, and sedition? That they are
taking sides with the disreputable
against the respectable. with the army
Of cranks against the conservative ele-
ment in the community?
Furthermore. what was the revoiu-
lion all about? Why. nothing put
taxes.
Men who agitate against unjust
taxation nowadays are not IN society.

New York, April 11.-To-day the war
clouds appear to have been broken and
no further complications over the Sun
day interval aside from noisy demon
STATIONS in Madrid, traders were en-
couraged and the market opened firm,
but soon became disappointing, there
being neither snap nor pressure to
speculation. This condition was at
trlbuted entirely to the disposition to
await the message to Congress. Lon
don remained closed to-day, but most
OF the continental exchanges reopened.
Their effect was not felt on this side,
however, some of the interests which
have been operating on the long side
OF Sugar for week past insists that
progress has been made toward an
agreement between the Sugar Company
and the Arbuckles. They claim the
agreement is not one which will be an
nounced, but each company will do
business in it's own way at substantial
ly the same prices. Sugar officials do
not confirm this report. They say they
are not aware of any agreement, and
intimate it will be time enough to talk
when the Arbuckles begin TO produce
sugar The position Of the Sugar Com
pany is declared to be that if anybody
tries to take its business it will protect
itself. Therefore, it goes without say
ing that an amicable settlement Of
the Spanish question would cause a
rapid advance in prices, which would
be led by New York Central. Burling-
ton. ST Paul Rhode Island, Manhattan
and Pacific preferred. In all Of these
shares liquidation has been thorough,
and all have identified with them in
terests which would support in the
event of a decline.

four stately vessels bearing their
loads Of humanity and munitions OF
war passed down the bay The ex'
element was intense. The water
front was black with people, and the
waving OF flags and the handkerchief
presented beautiful sight The
four vessels will make fast time
TO Honolulu, where they will recoal
and proceed on their way TO join the
first fleet Of transports which left this
city three weeks ago to-day, bound for
the Philippines. 1t is expected that
the China will reach Honolulu first,
but after leaving that place the faster
boats will wait for the slower vessels,
SO that they will reach their destina-
ton about the same time.

merits OF the FIRST named pace have
been fully set out, and as to the latter
place favorable comment was made
upon it by the board of army officers
recently conducting the examination
of various points in the south.
For the purposes of the Porto Rican
expedition, Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john said the department had now
available II transports, some Of which
are already at southern ports, and
these will carry about 5000 men, with
their equipments. The war depart-
ment Is now In communication with
the various coastwise steamship COM
panies on the Atlantic and gulf with
q view to securing the additional ves-
sells needed. A large number, aggre-
eating probably IS, have been submit
ted for the inspection Of the officers Of
the quartermaster's department from
which they hope to obtain the needed
ships. Mr.. Meiklejohn said it had not
yet been determined whether any of
the vessels soon to reach Santiago
would be utilized in the Porto Rican
expedition. That was matter en-.
tirely contingent upon the military
aspect of affairs as they might develop
In eastern Cuba.
1t Is stated not TO be the intention Of
the government at this time to aban-
don Tampa as base Of military opera
tons, as has been reported. The war
department has vast quantity OF ra-
tions, besides large number OF men,
at that place. While 1t is possible that
future large military movements may
not be embarked from that point, yet
It is believed that 1t will continue TO
be used as reserve base for such work
as may be more conveniently done
