To Build q Battleship.

j. A. Stout, Adiutant, Baker Post, 20,
Department of Washington and Alaska,
Goldendale, Wash, writes: Eve are too
old TO enlist again To defend the Star
Spangled Banner. Then let us build or
purchase first-class battleship. We can
do that much for our country. Let us
show to the world that we are not all dead.
| believe that every old soldier and every
soldiers widow and every soldiers child
on the pension roll would give one months
pension for the purpose, and that every old
soldier not on the roll would be anxious TO
help. One months pension from each
would be sufficient to build two ships. I
want to put in as much as one months
pension at least. | don't believe in much
talk. Talk is cheap, but let US act, and
act at once.
If we can build the ship let us dOit, and
hand down TO our sons and daughters
record of loyalty, patriotism, and love OF
unsurpassed by any people in any
age of the worlds history"

ENLIsrMEYTs WILL BE OPEN.

All that is settled thus far is that the
enIistments are TO be thrown open, much
as they were at the outbreak of the civil
war, and are not to be restricted to the
militia and National Guard organizations
of the several States. Ii will be an en-
couragement 10 the organization of inde-
pendent volunteer companies and regi-
ments. These will retain their identity to
a certain extent as State troops, as the
Governors will have the appointment of all
company and regimental officers, while
only the brigade, division, corps, and staff
officers will be appointed by the President.

JIRsT PROPOSALS OF PEACE.

Spain has made her first proposition.
The proposals Were not formally submitted,
but were laid before the State Depart ment
In a suggestion personally offered by one
of the Ambassadors. II was intimated that
Spain would be willing To withdraw her
troops from the Island OF Cuba if the United
States surrendered all further claim to the
Philippines and would abandon the pro-
posed seizure of Porto Rico.
At least three European poweTs-Ru Ssia,
Germany, and Great Britain-were inter
ested in the proposition, which was not,
SO far as can be learned, accompanied by
any attempt to influence the position of
the United States.
In fact, ii was simply, in diplomatic Ian
guage, an attempt to learn what considera-
tion would be given 10 such an quito ONE of
the war.
The reply of this Government was prompt
and emphatic The Ambassador was in
formed that under no circumstances would
any suggestion of peace be entertained in
the present condition of affairs. When
Porto Rico has been taken and Cuba is
actually in the control of the United States,
but not until then, will any proposition be
considered,
This reply was communicated to the
representatives of the other European
Governments, and has undoubtedly been
transmitted 10 Madrid. 1t can be asserted
positively that there will be no further in
reference from any Of the powers until
Cuba and Porto Rico have been seized by
the United States.
The second call for troops and the def
mite plans for aggressive action against
Cuba and Porto Rico are the President s
answer TO SPANS proposition.
CRITICAL SITUATION AT HAWAII
In the meantime, there is possibility oi
q serious problem confronting the Admins
| tration In the situation in Hawaii. Should
objection be raised by foreign powers 10 the
continued partiality of Hawaii for the
| United states, ii would place the two latter
Governments in an embarrassing position
owing 10 the anomalous and uncertain re-
| lations which now exist. declaration OF
neutrality by Hawaii would mean the loss
| of the Philippines. IL is regarded as un-
| fortunate that the President continues Ia
be opposed by members of his own party
| in his efforts to secure annexation The
effect of this antagonism may be to secure
the return of the Philippines to Spain
through the inability OF this Government to
| hold them.

Told Of Dickinson.

X. M. futile, court stenographer, who
recently returned with his family from a
European trip, while attending to court
duties in Dickinson last week wrote his
paper. the Mandan Pioneer as follows:
Frank kim is running the Willard
House in a way that pleases all who stay
with him. Fortunately for Frank, there
are two lots on which his hotel stands.
This is a good thing for Frank. When,
because of a special spasm of virtue on
the part of somebody, Frank has an in
junction placed on one lot, he changes
things around a little; puts his dining
room where liquid refreshments were,
and vice VERSA. The Dickinson spasm
is off now; but if it should come on again.
the injunction being lifted, another
change would be made, and everything
would be happy again. Every Dickinson
hotel needs two lots.
There has been quite a turnover in
county Offices. Guy DeFrance, the pres
ent county auditor, and republican candi-
date for reelection, was defeated by Mr..
Riessbeck, who ran by paper. Mr.. Riess-
beck is the present treasurer, and will
make a competent officer, and he will
also follow a good man. Capt. Aud, the
present register Of deeds, was away at
war, and not able to look after his inter-
ests. So MI. H. F. Hatch was elected.
Hatch had held the Office for several
years, and is competent and obliging. At
the same time Capt. Aud will merit
something good when he returns. Dick
inson's war attorney, L. A. Simpson, is
back in harness. He was reelected
states attorney. and he looks moderately
sunburned. from lying in the sun at
Chickamauga.
Dave Littlehales thought a year ago
that his force of men would be taken
away entirely. but the business of the
Northern Pacific has since that time in
creased so enormously, that he has a full
force now at work.
Today l was told of a freight train that
went into Mandan not long ago with 81
cars. 1t had two engines, but. the load
was so big that it took SO hours to make
the trip. That was a train and a trip
that beats the record.
The St. Charles hotel, under the man.
agement of host Frankenberg, is a popu-
lar house. 1t has large commodious
rooms, and the table is excellent.

CONGRESSMAN JoHNsoN's sena-
torial prospects are more hopeful.

MAYOR JOHNSON of Fargo was
defeated at the polls for the Office
of state senator, but hopes to be
seated by the Legislature, wherein
he will probably be very much
disappointed. But while Mr.. John
son is waiting for the converting
of the Legislature he might ex-
plain some more about that tax
league swindle and tell the people
what became of their hard earned
dollars.

Handbook Of the Tariff.

The understanding Of the complicated
provisions of the new tariff has been
greatly simplifed by the issuance of this
manual. To digest the tariff law is no
easy task, but to digest the food taken
into the gastric receptacle is rendered
easy by the use of that thorough stom-
achic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
prevents and cures malarial, kidney and
rheumatic trouble, remedies nervousness
and insomnia, and removes constipation
and biliousness. Appetite, as we'll as
the ability to satisfy it without subse:

by this fine %stomachic, which also accele-

sons.

The PRESS this week contains the Off
cial returns of the Stark county vote on
Nov. 8, as found by the c~anvassing board.
The state and legislative vote is also
given for Billings and the legislative
for Mercer. The totals carried out, ex-
cepting the Legislative vote, only apply
to Stark county. The legislative totals
are made up for the entire district
Stark, Billings and Mercer. The table
will be a good one to file away for future
reference.
A few comparisons on the Nov. 8 cleo
ton with that of Nov. 3, 1896, will be
most interesting. The total vote cast for
congressman in Stark county in 1896 was
Jos; this year, us votes, a gain Of 70 votes.
In 1896 Johnson received 5z2 votes, being
a majority of 800. This year Spalding
received sos votes. being a majority Of
237. Thus 1t will be seen that while the
vote for congressman has increased 70,
the republican majority is Io2 less than
two years ago. The total vote cast for
governor in 1896 was ~ votes; this year,
7SS votes. a gain of u votes. In 1896,
Briggs received 568 votes, being a ma
jority o f4Io. This year Fancher received
547 votes, being a majority Of 3o5. 1t
must be remembered that the late Gov.
Briggs was a West Missouri Slope man
and had a large personal acquaintance in
this county, which accounts for the
difference between his majority and that
of Congressman Johnson in the election
of 1896. The highest male vote given a
state candidate was cast for Fred Falley
secretary Of state, who received 552 votes,
being a majority of 277. Ii. Walton,
candidate for railroad commissioner, re-
ceived the next highest-548. No doubt
a number of the voters in this case thought
they were doing honor to County Com
missioner w. H. Walton of Dickinson.
One of L. L. Walton's~ colleagues received
only $40 votes, being the smallest vote
received by any candidate on the repub-
lican ticket. Inasmuch as H. M. Creel
had workers out with his stickers in this
county the fairest test Of the republican
vote would be an average of the votes
cast for governor, lieutenant governor
and secretary of state, which would be
sac, being an average majority Of 3oI
over their opponents-somewhat less than
in 1896. 1t must also be conceded that
Frank Lish,s popularity especially among
the Germans, cut down the republican
majority.
The legislative vote for Stark county
is $50. or 2o5 votes more than the vote of
1896. The vote for auditor Is o33, against
7s4 in 1896. The vote for sheriff is o63,
against 78I in 1896. Thus it will be seen
that the vote for sheriff has increased 49,
in two years and for auditor l7o.
Twelve hundred and eleven votes
were cast for superintendent and if the
average male vote-about 86o-was cast
then 35I ladies voted. Miss Saunders re.
ceived $50 votes, being a plurality owe,

Late Literary News.

Much interest has been excited in
America by the telegraphic account of
Hooley's apparently wholesale purchase
of British noblemen for use as decoy
ducks to his various stocks schemes; and
his connection with the highest political
officials of the Empire. Theron C. Craw-
ford, who has been in England for the
Cosmopolitan, takes up the subject in the
November issue of that magazine, and
under the title of "Hooley and His
Guinea-Pigs," gives a connected story Of
the derivation of Hooley and his rise to
the control of millions through unlimited
cheek and the opportune willingness Of
distinguished British aristocrats to lend
their names fol-. a financial consideration
to any sort of a shady transa ction.
