WHAT THE FOREIGN PRESS
THINKS.
CcngratuIatcs Mckinley gu his
stntemnnship.

LONDON. Feb. Sensational dis
patches, puIporting to report alarmlsl
utterances Of President Mckinley
Secretary Long and other officials. are
beginning to effect public opinion on
this side Of the Atlantic and create the
impression that possibly there may be
truth In the reports which allcge that
the loss Of the Maine was not due to
an accident, as at first believed here.
Although war between the United
States and Spain Is still regarded as
improbable, the disposition in the city
Is to regard the apprehenslons concern
ing Cuba as altogether exaggerated.
The Statist points out that this is a
grave mistake, as, apart from senti-
ment, the material losses inflicted up
on Americans by the anarchy in Cuba
must not be bellttled.'
The Statist believes, however, that
President Mckinley is strong enough
to resist the pressure" aud congrau
lates him upon the firm and states
manlike qualities which the immediate
responsibilities of his position have de-
veloped" and upon the honorable and
noble principles which he enunciated
at Philadelphia when he quoted Wash
ington AT the same time" continues
the Statist, I'VE realize that the Pres
ldent cannot afford to quarrel with his
supporters if the latter press war.

: SECRETARY sHERMAvs VIEWS.
A Good Big Indemnity VIII he
Asked.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Serctary
Sherman spent some time at the Cap
itol to-day. He talked freely with Sen
atOrs concerning the situation In Ha-
vana in view of the Maine disaster.
He told them that no important tld,ngs
beyond the information previously re-
celved had reached the department for
the past few days, but stated the stu
alton was being considered with the
view Of having a policy developed in
case the naval court now making an
inquiry into the disaster should find
that it was not the result Of an acct.
dent. TO this he added the statement
that he thought an indemnity would
certainly be demanded and that, If II
should be, good, round sum would be
asked. What that sum should be
would, however, depend largely upon
the circumstances. The Secretary did
not think the Spanish authorities had
been aware of the intention of anyone
who may have caused the explosion
but he advanced the opinion that
whether they were or not, the Spanish
Government would be liable for indem
nifty when it was shown that any
Spaniard had caused it.

duced Monday evening under the
auspices of Sedgwick Camp Guard

Spectacular Dramas which have be-
come SO popular in this town, "a
Prisoner of War, or The Girl Spy

with her, and manages the perform
ance. Miss Turner plays six differ
ent characters varying from that of
young woman of good family to
that of an uncouth country lad. In
each she displayed much skill.
Whether she appeared in comic
or serious role she was equally
conscientious and clever, her songs
were excellent, and her stage pre-
sence very taking. Miss Turner
speedily won the affections of the
audience and held them throughout.
Bert Miller proved himself char
acter comedian OF high accomplish

DEATH In A TORNADO.
Forty Human Lives Lost. 100000
Worth Of Property Destroyed.

A terrible tornado which carried
death and destruction in its path,
swept over the city of Fort Smith,
Arkansas Tuesday night.
Men, women and children asleep in
their homes were without moments
warning, awakened to meet death
under falling walls or in the flames
which soon engulfed many of the
wrecked buildings.
The tornado was of such magnl-
tude that the full extent of the dam
age is not yet known.
With the first crash of the storm,
business blocks, handsome mansions,
hotels and humble cottages were
leveled to the ground and scattered
in shapeless masses.
The known dead are:
Silas Mincer, merchant.
Harvey Butledge, negro.
Mary Zimmerman.
Two unknown men from the Bur-
CESS hotel.
Joe Griswold, tailor.

For State Baseball League.
Danvlle In Place Of Shamokin, and Potts
vile Probable.

ESWhether or not Bloomsburg will be
represented by base ball team the
coming season we are unable to say.
1t would look more encouraging If
last years management was out of
debt, but with 5000 to be paid off
yet, and no pledges made for the sup.
port of another team, the chances for
professional ball in Bloomsburg this
season are very slim.
There may be some scheme by
which club could be run On a great
deal less expense than last year. Mon
days Philadelphia Record says:
Plans are being matured for forma-
tion of the Central Pennsylvania
Baseball League this year, and the
towns which will probably be repre-
sented are Lock Haven, Williamsport,
Milton, Sunbury, Danville and Blooms
burg. These six towns complete a
circuit which will be vast improve
ment over last years league, as both
Shamokin and Pottsvllle were incon-
venient to reach, while Danville, if it
comes in, is accessible to all the other
towns in the circuit.
The financial backing of the clubs
has been carefully looked after. With
Danville in the league, and the man
agement sticking to the limit in salar-
les, there is no doubt but that the
league will play the season out.
The main trouble with the league
last year was the utter disregard of
the salary limit and the signing of
teams which were entirely too fast for
the size of the towns.
Steps have already been taken at
Williamsport for this years team, and
sufficient funds have been secured to
play the season.
1t is quite probable that meeting
of last years managers will be held
at Milton In the near future, at which
time permanent organization will be
effected, and the name of James H.
Mercer, of Bloomsburg, will be push
ed for the presidency by several of the
managers.
Should the league for any reason
drop through, Williamsport will have
an independent club.
