Washington, March 81 - Special Me
l<iniey aud Tom Reed have at last been
swept OF their feet by a wave or popular
patriotism They had quito naturally and
properly gone to the Spanish for their
rntdipg principle lii this National crisis and
adopted as their motto, Manaila. pasaais
mauana. Their nitifui plea for more tlmo,
more procrastination. has at last been met
by the firm front Of adetcr,nined congress,
yoicing the wishes of the whole American
people and The president and the speaker
have been informed In good set terms that
next Monday is the final day OF grace and
the time of judgment unieca President Me-

ed tho administration he three days time

On the contrary. tho war feeling is growing
hourly In the house and senate and the
agreement to keep hands off until Monday
Is tho last concession that will be made.
After that congress will take matters into
It's own hands and the honor of the coun-
try will be safe.
This has been another democratic day in
the house. The republicans, stung 10 the
quick by the democratic coup de etat OF
Yesterday. tried TO regain lost ground by
attacking the democrats today. During the
discussion of tho naval appropriation bill.
Mr.. Lewis Of Washington and Joe Bailey
OF Texas repealed them magnlficcntly.
Bailey made two speeches today that were
the best he has delivered this session, and
in each one he not only added to his
laurels as a leader, but he sunk the re-
publioans deeper In the mirc Of their
own apparent lnsinccrity and cowardice.
This has led to the action Of the republic
ans mentioned above.
II It is true, az reported, that Spain has
refused to accede TO our ultimatum. then
the trouble may come before Monday.

By Ensign John 5. Doddrlige, OF the
cruiser Boston. attpGcted hundreds OF
people to the Intelligencer once during
the day yesterday. the relic having been
placed on exhibition there through the
courtesy OF DR.. FrisseiL.
Although the Intelligence stated yes
terday that there was no blood on the
she'll, many people who Inspected II
were under the impression that the red
paint was Spanish blood. OF course
this Is an erroneous Impression, as the
shell never figured in battle. having
been taken from the arsenal after Its
surrender and the charge extracted.
The shell win be on exhibition IN the

A highly enthusiastic meeanE Of boys
foa the different wards Of The city. to
complete arrangements for the "AmeH-
can Boy" celebration to-day, was held at
the police court room, city building, last
evening.
The meeting was more largely attend
ed than the one held last Tuesday even
ing, there being over $50 boys in attend
ance. AT O'Clock Chairman Bonnette
called the meeting 70 order and imme-
diately proceeded to hear the reports Of
tn various completes appointed a. the
last meeting for The purpose Of making
the necessary arrangements for she cele-
bration.
The reports of all the committees were
very encouraging for complete success
In the celebration which the boys have
undertaken. Drum corps have been Sc
cured In all the wards and the interest
Of every boy In the city has been ex-
cited as 1t probably was never before
excited in a patriotic cause.
Arrangements have been made to
have all the boys meet at their various
schools in the different wards of the
city. promptly at 1880 o'clock to-day, and
march to che place OF formation on
Eighteenth street. All the boys who
were not at the meeting last night are
requested to be present at their different
schools on dine. 1t is a duty, which no
boy in wheeling VIII consider a task.
and by his presence and cheers lend aid
to the carrying out of a cause 60 worthy
OF the commeudation of both young and
old.
The managers Of the suspension bridge
have kindly consented to allow the Boys
from the Island to march across free of
charge.
The members of the drum corps from
the Eighth ward will march with the
corps from the Fourth ward and to-
gether they will make music that will
stir the martial blood of any spectator
The boys were requested to get sash
Of bunting to wear on the occasion. and
n anything can awaken the interest of
the BOYS to the importance Of the oeca-
sion that viii certainly do 1t.
The route Of the parade, as outlined
last night is as follows: Assemble at
corner Of eighteenth and Wood, proceed
south on eighteenth to chapline. north
