ABOUT THE BL0GKADE.
Members of the Diplomatic Corps
Discuss the Subject.
FOREIGN POWERS ACCEPT IT.
Two strategic Moves open to Spanish
Navy, the Safest OF Which Is to
Stay Out of American
Waters.

Washington, April 23.-Members of
the diplomatic corps say that no ques-
tion can be raised as to the right of
the United States to declare blockade.
This being conceded. foreign powers
will accept it as binding. Speaking OF
the blockade, the military attache of
one of the leading foreign establish
ments here said: ."rhe right to block
ade is clearly recognized and this
blockade of Cuba will be universally
respected by foreign powers.
esThe limited extene of the blockade
is doubtless due to the necessity of
making the blockade effective. Unless
effective, a blockade is not binding,
and with the extended seacoast sur
rounding Cuba it would be very diff
cult, If not impossible, to maintain an
effective blockade of the entire island.
The blockade will have the effect OF
stopping all commerce. even in neutral
ships, to and from the ports covered
by the presidents proclamation. But
at the same time it should be under
stood that neutral ship may take her
own chances of running the blockade.
In that case she acts at her peril, and
she can under no circumstances expect
indemnity from either of the belliger-
emit powers"
This military aide, who is a recog-
nized authority on war strategy, also
pointed out the two strategic moves
open to the Spanish navy, one or the
other of which he believed would be
adopted. He said the first and proba-
bly, the best strategic move by Spain
would be to concentrate and hold her
feet at the Cape de Verde islands and
the Canaries. and wait until the Amer
lean fleet came to them.
They would then have the advantage
of position, base of supplies and ample
coal. 1t would be waiting game. but
it would promise much better results
than seeking decisive naval engage
ment far from the base of supplies and
from coal.
The only serious difficulty would be
Cuba and Porto Rico. Whether the
Spaniards are willing to make SO great
sacrifice in strategic move for ulti-
mate naval success remains to be seen.
If not, then the Spanish navy must
choose the other strategic move of
making dash to this side and risk
ing everything on the chance of a de-
ctsive victory at the outset
1T would be desperate move. but
If successfully executed it would prove
of inestimable value, not only in its
material results, including the defense
of Cuba and Porto Rico, but also the
sentimental influences of encourag-
ment inspiring enthusiasm.
But 1T would be a most hazardous
move, as the Spanish ships would have
the Atlantic between them and the
home ports, with little or no chance
of repIenishing their coal supplies.

LET US HAVE
NO MORE BONDS.
The Man Should be Branded a Trai-
tor Who Proposes AN Issue of
Bonds.

1t is rank betrayal of the Ameri-
can people for the Congress of the
United States to issue interest
bearing bonds for any purpose, in
any pretended emergency, SO long
as the power of the government
can enforce the law, says the
National Intelligencer.
The stamp of Law or Legal
Tender is all there is in the crea-
ton of money, and as long as there
is an ounce of silver uncoined of
tered for stamping into Legal
Tender standard dollars, there is
not the slightest pretext for need
of material upon which to stamp
full legal tender credit money.
If Congress. having the power
under the United States Constitu-
ton to authorize the stamp of
Legal Tender money, evades its
duty to the people, degrades the
sovereignty of the organic law of
this Nation, makes promises to
pay, notes to be redeemed, or in
terest bonds, and thus enslave the
masses to the classes it can but
be expected that when the masses
become aware of this betrayal,
their indignation will eliminate in
a sweeping cS clone that will find a
retribution TO punish their be-
trayers.
We wish to ask Senators I'D
Representatives, each one, what
right have you to legislate your
people into debt while empowered
by the Constitution you are sworn
to obey to provide credit instead of
debt money? None until you make
such infamous laws that they can
not be enforced.
No person has a right to delegate
power or representation of their
own injury. 1t is betrayal and
treason that has forced our people
into debt and bond-enslaved the
nation, and now we warn Congress
that so long as there remains avail
able silver upon which TO place our
Legal Tender money stamp, it will
be dangerous business for law
makers to assault the people by
enslaving them into bondage to Fl
nancial vultures by enforced debt.
Our advice is: Coin all the avail
able silver into Legal Tender
Standard Dollars, to l with gold
as coined at present, and then, if
the supply is insufficient, stamp le-
gal tender paper for further neces-
sity, and useI You have this pow
er. Patriotic men with any spirit
of right and justice will pursue nc
other course, and we believe it will
be a little unsafe for further prac
lice in the game of bond conspira-
tors to enslave our people.
Not another bond. Let any man
be branded traitor" who ..propos-
es bonds, . or promises to pay
CONGRESS PLEASE TAKE

To Eclipse the Ferris Wheel.

R. E. herman, Chicago electrician
and inventor, has devised unique me-
chanical rival of the Ferris wheel,
which has been granted exhibition
space at the Paris exposition. The
idea of it is to carry passengers to a
great height overlooking the exposi-
tion grounds. The plans call for
steel structure $50 feet high and 25O
feet in diameter from car to car when
the cars are at the top Then cars
are planned, each capable of accommo-
dating fifty passengers. Mr.. Sherman
says that the cars can make three trips
every hour, which will admit OF their
carrying more passengers in that time
than the Ferris wheel did, because all
the cars can be loaded at one trip.
The cars are to be supported at the
ends Of ten long steel cables, which are
to run over the ends of the arms or
slaves Of the umbrella" The power
is to be applied from the platform
around the central column. The plat
form is intended to move up and
down the column and to carry $50
passengers.

Corner Stone To Be Laid Soon,

Now that the work has been started
on the statehouse improvement and is
we'll under way, as far as the founda-
tion is concerned, talk is INDUCED in
quite freely concerning the laying of
the corner stone.
Those who have the greatest inter-
est in the work say, if it shall be found
convenient for those VINO will partici-
pate in the service, it might be held in
about two weeks. However, the date
will be set to suit the convenience of
all concerned. The time WI not be
fixed for later tnan the latter part of
the month.
1t is the intention to lay the corner
stone with very pretty service, which
will be participated in by many of the
officers of the state. They expect to
have several addresses on the occasion
the chief one of which will be made by
Governor Bushnell. There will be a
conference soon Of those interested to
fix the exact date and arrange the pro-
gram.

Shooting Stars Will Be Observed
. Next Month. The Heavens viii
Y Be LIGHTED.

According to the calculations of the
the month of November
will witness the most amazing show
ers of meteors the world has seen in
Years. On November 13 the earth will
pass through great column of mete-
ors known as the Leondis whose or
Bit crosses that of the earth once in
about thirty-three years. The main
mass Of these meteors Is due in 1899,
but since they extend over a length Of
at least 1900, ,OO0,OOO miles 1t is esti-
mated that three years will erequired
for the column to pass the place
where the earth's orbit is intersected.
/ November q is the date of the Sec
ond shower. 1t will be caused by the
earth meeting with meteors known as
the Andromedes or Bielids, which are
believed by some to be the scattered
debris of the missing comet of Biela
These meteors were first seen in 1872
and were last seen in 1885. Previous
to 1872 the we'll known comet Biela
travelled in their path. Something
wonderful happened to that comet
fifty years ago. Just what it was no
one knows. When it came back in
1859 it was double comet with its
parts flung hundreds of thousands of
miles apart. In 1872 when again due
dash Of meteors apeared indicating
that the comet had met with some
wonderful disaster.
The Leonid meteors, named after
the constellation Leo, were free wand
erers Of space until the year 126 A. D.
They were lured into the solar sys-
tenn by the attraction of the planet
Uranus. Perhaps before meeting Ur-
anus the meteors formed a comet.
Astronomers, are watching the effect
produced by their continued encounter
with the earth. Every time they are
more widely. separated.
The exact time of the spectacular
display can not be definitely foretold.
The Harvard college observatory ad-
vises watchers to begin their vigil
about II o'clock on the evening of
November II and keep it up until the
stars fade in the morning of November
49, The meteors If observed before
midnight will appear shooting up
from the northeastern horizon like
skyrockets. ..
1t was the encounter with the Leon
ids, which caused the marvellous dis
play of shooting stars in 1866 and in
1888 when the sight of the blazing
heavens caused such CONSERVATION
with the slaves Of the southern states,
they believing the world was coming
to an end.
