SAYS M'KINLEY is RIGHT.
Ex-senator PETERS Position on the
Cuban Matter.

Ex-United States Senator PETER
says:
THE rule of international law I'M
questionabIy is, that before a new gov
eminent is recognized by other nations,
it must be in fact a government and
backed by a power which, it may reas-
onably be expected will be able to
surgent Cubans, they have construct
ed a paper government only. While
they have possession of a portion of the
island, it cannot be said that they are
even attempting to carry on anything
like a civil government. Being thus
unable to erect and support a govern
ment of their own, in order that the
United States might recognize the indie
pendence of the rebellious Cubans, we
should be obliged to first secure their
independence for them, and that by
fighting the Spanish army and conquer
ing the Spanish power in the island.
There is nothing in the international code
to justify any such proceeding.
But we have abundant cause for in
tervention, as much as a man would
have for interfering to stop a quarrel
between two of his neighbors in order
to prevent the killing of one and the
consequent impoverishment of his fam
lily. And that is what the president
wants to do He asks congress to au-
thorize him to use the army and navy
to stop the barbarous war now going
on in Cuba and to secure in the island
the esta blishment of stable govern
ment capable of maintaining order and
observing it's international obligations
insuring peace and tranquility and the
security of it's citizens we'll as our
own
THE presidents course is the wiser
one from every standpoint. First, it
is within the long established law of
nations. Second, it is in complete ac-
cord with our own practice. Third, it
would result in the independence of Gu
ba and the establishment of a repub-
lican form of government there in close
alliance with the United States.
1.-The first move would necessarily be
to get possession of the island; the sec
ond to provide ways and means for the
people to fairly and freely set up a Gu
ban government, and the third to pro-
tect the new government from outside
interference until all disposition to in
terfere from the outside had ceased"

WAR ON MOSQUITOES.
Meadows and Ponds on Staten Island
to Be Sprayed With Kerosene.

New York, April ga combination
of residents of the south shore of Stat
en- Island has been formed for the pur-
pose of waging war upon the mosquito,
with the aid of the agricultural depart
nent officials.
Last summer the mosquito became so
annoying that the Midland Terminal
company. which owns Midland Beach,
sprayed the meadows and ponds with
Kerosene Gil to kill the insects. The eff
feet was felt at once, and thereafter the
mosquitoes gave the bench and it's pat
Fons wide berth.
The success of this experiment has
encouraged the residents of the neigh
b0rhood, as well as those who frequent
the club house and golf links of the
Richmond County Country club, to eff
feet combination for a more thorough
test of the kerosene experiment. 1t is
proposed that every pond and pool or
water be covered with the oil. The
work will be undertaken by the end of
the present month in order to destroy
the larvae before they reach maturity
Every six weeks or oftener the water
will be sprayed again until the end of
the summer
The marshes in the rear of the beach
are to receive a thorough spraying, to
prevent any breeding there, and they
also will be treated constantly during
the summer.
Application has been sent to Wash
sngton for the detail of an expert to as
sist in the efforts, and 1T is expected
that favorable answer will be return
ed. Enough money to give the scheme
a good test has been subscribed

a. CALL FOR TROOPS
Today and a Declaration of War To-
morrow is the Programme.

Washington, April Ex-senator Davis,
as the chairman of the foreign relations
committee, was in conference with Nc
Kinley for half an hour today. At its
conclusion he announced that there had
been no material change in the situa-
ton and that everything was progress
ing satisfactorily.
Mr.. Davis said that he understood
the president would issue the expected
call for volunteers before the close of
the day. AS to the probability of a for
NAL declaration of war by congress, he
said that it was likely that action would
be taken tomorrow. That would allow,
the Spanish government the full limit
of time imposed by the u1timatum.
Senator Mcmillan of Michigan and
Senator Wilson of Washington, Repre-
sentatives Curtis of Iowa and Babcoclx
of Wisconsin were also with the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Babcock's mission related to the
proposed bond issue to meet war emer-
gencies. He urged that it be made a
popular loan, saying that it was only
right that the people should be given an
opportunity to take part of the issue.
The president, it is understood, agreed
in this view and Secretary Bliss, who
has also been talked with, it is stated,
is heartily in favor of it. Mr.. Babcock
thinks the bonds should bear interest
at 3 per cent,
A member of the cabinet at IL o'clock
today Just before the cabinet assemb-
led said it had not been settled by the
administration whether to ask congress
to make a formal declaration of war.

OLD PROJECT{REVIVED.
Scheme for an Inter-Oceanic Railway
in South America

New York, April 22.-The Interoceanic
railway project for South America is
being agitated anew. The urgent neces-
sity for a road of this kind is said to be
generally recognized, particularly in
Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Chilli.
The plan, which was proposed some
time ago, and for which much of the
preliminary investigation has been
made, is to build a road from one of the
ports in Brazil, say Rio de Janeiro, and
to carry it through the Andes by means
of a tunnel, thus placing the four repub-
lies on the west-Peru, Chilli, Bolivia
and EcuadOr-in direct communication
with Brazil, and through it with Eu-
rope.
1t is stated that the project is now
about to take a new and practical form,
and that an agreement may be reached
between the governments concerned as
to some plans of protecting the capital
which will necessarily be invested in the
work.
Ecuador, however, has not yet given
official approval to the project If the
project of the Interoceanic railway be
carried out, merchandise going from
Bolivia to Rio de Janeiro will have to
be carried but a distance of from $500
to 2,70O kilometers.
Running at the moderate rate of 30
kilometers an hour, the journey would
take four days on the proposed road in
stead of As days, as at present 1t is
estimated that the construction of the
line will occupy about nine years.

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Volunteer Army Bill is Now
Ready to Become a Law.

Washington, April 22.-The conferees
of the two houses on the volunteer
army bill, reached an agreement before
congress convened today. According
to this agreement. the senate recedes
from it's first amendment concerning
the time which the organized militia
shall serve, but the term for which all
volunteers are to be enlisted, is re-
duced from three years to two.
The Warren amendment, authorizing
the president to organize independent
troops was retained, but the number
was limited to 5000. The senate re-
ceded from its amendment making it

commissions from the governors of
their respective states and leaving it

staff of each brigade commander. All
the other senate amendments reducing
the rank of staff officers, ETC., were
agreed to.

SMITH SWORN IN.
New Postmaster General Meets With
the Cabinet Today.

Washington, April 22.-President Nc
Kinley was at breakfast by five minutes
past o'clock; two old friends, Webb C.
Hayes and Gen. Hastings of Ohio, dined
with him.
Mr.. Hayes is the son of the ex-presi-
dent, and Gen. Hastings was colonel of
the regiment in which Mr.. Mckinley
served during the war. They have been
the presidents guests for a day or two.
It was unusually quiet at the White
House during the forenoon, largely in
anticipation of the assemblage of the
presidents official council for it was
regular cabinet day. The change in the
cabinet became operative today and
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith of Philadelphia will sit with the
ca binet.
Senator Davis, chairman of the COM
mfttee on foreign relations, and Senator
Cannon of Utah, were with the preSl-
dent early today. Senator CannOn'S Wis
it, however, was of a largely personal
character, but he expressed the belief
that there would be formal declara-
ton of war made by congress tomorrow
and that it would be put through the
senate in a few minutes afternoon when
the period allowed by the uItimatum of
this government would expire. He did
not, he said, believe it would be proper
for this government to take such action
until after the limit had expired.
Arrangements were made early today
for the assumption of office at II o'clock
of Mr.. Smith, the new postmaster gem
eral. 1t is customary for the cabinet Of
1cers to enter on their duties with an
administration of the oath by a mem
Der of the supreme court.
Today was no exception, and in defer
ence to the personal friendship and cor
dial relations between Mr.. Smith and
Associate Justice ShiraS of PittSburg,
the latter administered the oath at the
White House shortly before the cabinet
meeting.

MAINE OFFICER TALKS.
SCUBA No Place for Women, Even as
Nurses, Until All Things Are
Changed"

New York, April 22.-When seen yes
terday by q reporter, Engineer F. G.
Bowers, who was on duty on the Maine
when she was blown up, looked hale,
happy and bright until the loss of the
Maine was mentioned, when his face
clouded and showed something of the
grief and distress. which he so lately
suffered and witnessed.
When asked to talk about the Maine,
he begged to be excused, as it was such
q painful subject to him. Being request
ed to give his opinion as to what wo-
men could do if we have war, he said:
Women, as you know, rendered in
valuable services in the late war, and
did those things for the country that
can not be too highly estimated, and
will never be forgotten. But the ad-
vance that woman has made in all di-
to enable her to be of even greater use
at the present time
rs there not something more she
may do now?'' was the question.
1T would be difficult task was the
reply, for the women to excel in a war
now the good works done by the splen-
did women who gave up everything to
help and care for the soldiers during
our rebellion.
I shall be sorry for war to come and
particularly for the sake of the wo-
men, because it will leave SO many
homes desolate, and so many good, no
BILE women widows"
Engineer Bowers is awaiting orders,
and while he does not say so in words,
he does in looks, that he is anxious and
ready to receive those orders quickly.
When asked about women going to Gu
ba as nurses, he said:
mot until the island has been sunk
and thoroughly cleansed should an
American woman put her foot ON that
soil

MRS. STATIONS VAIL.
Looks for a Leader to Follow in Her
Footsteps.

Chicago Record: "Who is there to
succeed me?"
Such is the wall of a grand, motherly
old woman, who during nearly half a
century, has been one of the most prom
inent figures in the history of the 18th
century-Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton.
She is an old lady now, nearing SIS, but
her energy, her ambition and her brain
power seem to be as young, as sturdy
and as unrelenting as ever. Although
Mrs. StantOn'S enemies claim that she
has repeatedly unsexed herself, in this
respect at least, she remains as other
women are, and walls. Not because she
has grown old and blind, and in meas
ure helpless, but because she sees the
time approaching very near when she
must lay down her Iife's work and the
vista materiaIizes no other and younger
woman in the world who has the ability
or even the inclination to take it up
when she let's it fall
She says she would rather leave the
fight in the hands of hundred women
than with one. and to the care of thou
sands rather than of hundreds.
Every woman should succeed me-"
she said vehemently, but none of them
will The women of the day are like
cows-they do not know enough to go
in at milking time unless somebody
drives them, and they are constantly
getting in one another's way. I have
been driving them all my life, and they
have got in my way upon every oppor-
tunity.
f'Acteon was chased and devoured by
his own beagles. I have been pursued
and maligned by my own sex. The
wounds of Lazarus were licked by the
dogs out of pity; my efforts have drawn
more recognition from men whom /
fought than from the women for whom
I battled.''
Mrs. Stanton insists that the present
day woman is idealeSs, that she is to-
tally devoid of originality of thought
and is, therefore, non-progressive. The
w. c. T. U. and more than half of the
Women Suffra gists have utterly repudi-
ated her, because of the Woman's BIZ
BILE, which is her last, and, she believes,
her greatest idea.
