WORD FOR HOMELESS, FRIEND
LESS DOGS.

Seattle, April so. 1888.
To the Editor: Monday. May 2, the dog
killer starts On his rounds, impounding
and killing all stray dogs. VIII nobody

less. forlorn and woebegore looking dogs
seen on our streets? II not, the aforesaid
officer VIII round them up and bring their
lives to a sudden close. Many OF these
dogs are noble. kind, affectionate Great
ures, brought here by kiondikers or for
them ard turned loose because not want
ed. They are not here OF their own choos-
ing, but were brought from their homes
against their Will. Their locks OF unhap-
plness and homesickness should touch the
sympathies OF all humanisarians and
awaken Lively interest in their behalf. OF
all the animal creation the dog is mans
best friend and often q better friend TO
him than his own kind. 1t IS a shame TO
sacrifice these animals In the wild, mad
chase after geld. Who can look them In
the eyes, pleading for their friendly
caresses OF home, and watch their aimless
actions without pity? For. after all.
every creature was brought into existence
by the same Maker. after the same plan
and subject 10 the same seusibilities as
humans. This close relationship is too
eften overlooked or forgotten. II Is cruel
for man to n.streat them. because. being
OF a higher order. he can naturally exer-
else supreme power over their liberty and
lives
The society for the prevention OF cru
city to animals might possibly suggest
some relief. Many of these dogs should
find homes in the country where they
could make themselves useful IL opportuni-
" offered. VIII not some effort be made
10 save their ives7 Whatever IL done
must be done quickly. II. K. III.

that the vessels might possibly be taken

 WAsHISeToN, D. C., March 31, 189S.- FRIEND REPPY: I have had another interview with Commissioner Binger Herman. He is anxious to visit Flor ence, but at present the ''war fever" and other duties incident to his office keep him extremely busy and he is not at liberty to leave, much as he desires to. He made inquiries in regard to the hotel at Casa Grande and the means of conveyance to Florence, and I assured him that he will be warmly received aud will be met at the train and con- yeyed to Florence, well entertained, ], and escorted to the Buttes and every facility for his comfort during his stay glIl be given. said to him on leaving, you can address Mir. Reppy of the TRI- BUSE, when you will be ready to start, He replied, ''I will address you," (sim- ply because of a pleasant acquaintance presume) so think we may expect visit from him in the early summer or soon after Congress adiourns.
 I had an interview with Mark Smith this afternoon, and he says the Cuban question" is so completely absorbing Congress that the "Joint Committee" have not been able to meet yet, and may not for several days, and when they do they will have so many amendments to consider that it will take perhaps Q week or more be- fore they reach ours. He feels quite confident of success, however. Mrs. Smith is improving so that he can leave and be at his post, but so many committees claim his time that he is crowded.
 At this writing nothing is talked of but Cuba and Mckinley, and by Monday, if his message is not satisfac- tory, Congress will take the matter in its own hands. Both houses are crowded from pit to dome daily, and unless you get seat before 10 a. m., you are left in the corridor and can't squeeze in. Think I'll take lunch on Monday and get seat at a. m. and take pa- per or Bible to read, for the rush for i seats will be beyond precedent as the excitement will be at fever heat, and many senators will be loaded to the muzzle and the great guns will roar and thunderl Something will happen, and you may lenrn it before this reaches you Spnin iscrying, snanapa," but senators drepresentativss are bawl- 1 ing war, and Mckinley says "wait till Monday and m speak outl" So wait
 and listen. WHITTEMoRE.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca- tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de- stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assist ing nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi- monials.

WAR IS INEVITABLE
Unless the Madrid Government suuens.Ts


 WASHINGTON, April 7.-There is nc longer any doubt as to the purposes ot this government with respect to tie situation in Cuba.
 War, in the opinion of the admins. tration, is inevitable except for the un- looked for event of surrender on the part of Spain.
 The Presidents message, which he had intended to send to Congress yes- terday, has not been changed in any particular, and embodies the unani- nous views of the cabinet without the the slightest variance or exception.
 At noon the six great powers of Flu rope, thro ugh their representatives. called at the White House and pre- sented to the President joint note ex- pressing urgent hope for peaceful adjustment between the United States and Spain, to which the President re- piled with unmistakeable plainess as to the duties and unselfish efforts of this government to terminate the pres eat situation in cuha.
 Another and probably most signi6- cant actual step showing the fnality reached by the United State govern ment, was the authoritive st4 temeat that Gen. Lee would leave Havana on Saturday This step it is known will be regarded b, Spain as akin to an overt act preceding war.
 Third and almost equally important was the ominous tone of the press ad- vices from Madrid, where the war fever seems to dominate. Instead of con- sessions, the open of prison doors and other manifestations of peace and good will which Holy Thursday was ex- pected to bring forth, and more definite announcement of action that would bring peace to Cuba, heavy guards about Minister Woodford's house, the imperative character of his note, war utterances of Minister Correo and the turbulence at the Spanish capital left little hope that pacific council would prevail.
 So far as known in administration circles no further representations on this subject are expected. No offers of mediation on the part of any European powers has been received and there is some authority for the statement that none will be accepted or proffered. This has been the fixed policy of the government from the first and there is no prospect of a change in this regard.
 At the embassies and legations the presentment of the joint note of the powers was regarded as the event of the day. An ambassador from one of the great powers of Continental Europe states that it was without a parallel in history; that it was the first and only time the six great natious of Europe representing in the aggre- gate tho pomar oi civilization had united in this solemn manner to secure the peace of the world.
