1t was well known that to-day was crucial,

By Havana the city in general is meant,
and not isolated cases of individual excite

The removal Of the embargo consequent
upon the quarantine laws gives relief to
thousands; but the new trouble arises of
lack Of transportation No doubt many
will leave as the result Of needless scare.
since probably they would be az sase here
as anywhere, a possible bombardment be-
ing left out of the account. Some Of the
Spaniards still talk wildly about the Unit
ed States feet being blown out Of water
by fire from the Havana batteries on the
water front. but as careful practice two
days ago showed the inability Of the gun
ners to come within a hundred yards Of
a target on smooth water at a range of
two miles or thereabouts, naval men need
not be apprehensive of the effect of the
Havana guns.
The story sent north that forty mines
had been recently sunk In Havana harbor
is not verified. 1t is impossible. Likely
enough. however, single line and perhaps
a double line Of torpedoes have been laid
in the narrowest part Of the channel near
the entrance.

Greater Demand for Admission to the
Halls of Congress Than for
Years Before.

Washington, April 6.-Never before in re-
cent years. II ever at any time. has there
been such demand for admission to the
halls of congress as was made to-day. Peo-
PIE who appreciated what the conditions OF
affairs would be were at the doors Of the
big building before o'clock, and they
were there in such numbers at this time
that when the doors were opened not to
exceed half of them could find seats in Ell
thcr the senate.or house.
The people began to arrive at the east
front OF the capitol as early as O'CLOCK
and, Notwithstanding the fact that the
thermometer registered below the freezing
point they took their places at the doors
ard held with u calm steadfastness and
determination of purpose worthy OF more
important quest.
The arrivals were scattering UP to 7:3o
O'Clock, but after that hour they came in
large groups and by half past the con-
creted grounds In front of the building were
well covered with struggling people seek
ing ingress to the building in which they
evidently expected history to be made
during the day.
/ The large stone steps leading to the SEN
ate and house wings and to the rotunda
were literally covered. When the doors
were opened. they rushed into the capitol
through the various openings like water
/ from 4 swollen river breaking through
defective levee.
| In five minutes, all the public galleries
were filled and the crowds in the corridors
were SO dense that 1t was difficult to be-
lIeve that any had found seats and been
removed from the throng.
! Within, the people almost overran the
bluecoated policemen who struggled to
hold them in check. In great waves the ir-
resistible stream surged on up the marble
stairway to the galleries. Women tainted
in the press, and old men and children
were crushed by those behind.
The arrangements for the reserved gal
leries were excellent. Special cards had
been issued. and though many failed to
gain admission owing to the lateuess of
their arrival those holding special tickets
were well cared for.
On the floor. the greatest excitement and
activity prevailed. The leaders rusned
hither and thither. raliying their forces.
Rumors flew about. Here Indignation was
riot against the report that the president
would ask for discretion as to when inter-
vention should take place: there a stanch
, supporter of the president was counsel
ing calm; here a group was discussing the
probability of an alliance between the
Democrats and the dissatisfied Republic
, ans: there an appeal to a group of Re
, publicans was being made to stand solidly
, by the president and party organization.
The battle was already on. In a. corner of
; the capitol the house committee on for
, eign affairs was meeting. In the old library

On August nth, in commenting on
the Anglo-Russian imbroglio In
China, THE JOURNAL said that, in
spite Of England's fierce talk, she
would do the backing down, and it
used this language:
"UHless Russia is bought of with
some other valuable concession, the
latter will enforce her protest. and
England will grumblingly take her
medicine. The European war is not
in sight yet"
Well, Russia has been bought of
with valuable concession, and she
now allows China to carry out her
agreement with Great Britain. This
is shown in the following dispatch
from London, dated September, 5.
"We learn from good authority that
an Anglo-Russian understanding is
practically completed. Great Britain
recognizes Russia 10 Manchuria,
Russia undertaking TO satisfy Great
Britain IN Chinese railway matters
and to respect the English grants
In the valley Of the Yang Use Kiang."
England recognizes Russia In Man
churia," which she has hitherto re-
fused to do; and Russia allows Eng
land to retain the. rights which she
had already obtained from the Chinese
government-and nothing more. Tally
one more for Russia.

1t is worth while TO note the con-
trast in one respect between Admiral
Sampson and General Miles.
Miles has been accused OF being in
ordinately vain because he wears a
SNOWY uniform, changes his shirt
every time it gets dirty, even II he
hasn't worn IL week, aud allows
the photographers 10 work their will
up on him. But what difference be-
tween his treatment OF Shafter and
SIMPSONS treatment OF Schley.
Except for the newspaper reporters,
we would never have known but that
all OF the glory arising from the des-
truction ofCervera's fleet belonged ex-
cluslyely 20 Admiral Sampson.
Commodore Schley who really
fought the ships wouldn't even have
received special mention. Sampson
would haYe hogged IL all.
On the other hand, General Miles
has been SO careful TO avoid any ac-
tion that would call public attention
TO himself In connection with the
management OF the Santiago cam
paign that even the newspaper cor
respondents have been giving all the
credit 10 Shafter. IL is only since
General Miles good American blood
has reached the boiling point, on ac =
count OF the universal mismanage-
ment OF the uuspeakable Alger, that
he has begun TO talk.
IL Is now slowly coming 20 the sur

simply an inefficient, boorlsh, moun-
tain OF flesh; that II his orders had
been obeyed the tight which was a

railroad and wharf were completed
with all the necessary adjuncts
before the vein was properly tested
The enterprise resulted in a total
failure and abandonment, and
about seventy-fve thousand dol
lars were lost to the projectors.
THE HARDY MINE.
This was located in 1871, oppo.
site North Bend, without any thor

dred thousand dollars were ex.
pended in its development, and ii
is now deserted and comparatively
worthless. There were several
principal owners, some of whom
were badly crippled by the failure
of the mine.
THE UTTER AND OJEDA MINES.
In 1874, the Utter mine on the
Isthmus was opened and the
Isthmus Transit Railroad built.
The whole enterprise became so
involved in debt that after sew
eral months shipment of coal the
mine closed. Whether the prop
erty is of value as a mine, is a
question not fully determined.
For several years the railroad
served as a public convenience,
affording q much needed means
of communication.
From the mouth of the Utter
and Ojeda mines to their ship
ping point utter City, on
Isthmus slough, was just five
miles. In August, 1874, the old
tramway of Judge Halls 18TH
mus Transit was taken up and a
narrow-gauge railroad was built,
under the supervision of John
Fitzhugh. The grade was heavy,
being in some places 120 feet.
The deepest cut on the line was
II feet, and the longest fill was
1867 feet. The highest bridge
on the road was Al feet from the
bottom, and the longest viaduct
was $40 feet long and 16 feet in
height. This bridge was built
by w. P, Skelly and 25 other
residents of the Coquille valley.
AT this time great activity was
visible all along the Isthmus
slough, and therefore the CO.
guile valley received a new i'm
