1.-THE first gun of real war booms over
your historic county tonight in opening the
battle of our inSulted and outraged COM
monwealth against the invasion of its
rights. Slowly the old frigate Pennsylvania
has drifted to anchorage in quiet waters
and her enemies are springing mines upon
her to tear her into ShredS. Hidden and
reckless foes are on the alert to sweep her
on to destruction The beautiful white bat
tie ship that steamed out of New York har-
Dor a month ago became white coffin
buried in the dark sea in the dead of night.
Without passing hasty judgment on our sis
ter nation and willing to wait for all in
formation, the air is full of the fear of
treachery and dastardly brutality. We do
not seek war, but we are not afraid OF 1t.
TO the Congress that voted fifty millions
into the Presidents hands for immediate
use If necessary we send loyal greeting and
say make it a hundred millions If needed.
To the Navy Department that bought two
battle ships yesterday We send cordial ap-
prevail and say you have our consent to buy
two more tomorrow. We are not cIamoring
for bloodShed, but we are swearing hdelity
to the flag and insisting on justice to the
honored dead and living. And while old
Pennsylvania, one Of the original thirteen,
stands up perpendicular with every sister
State in the Union to meet the Cuban ques-
ton, there has come to US long-sumerlng
Pennsyvanians an issue of our own"
The rest of Mr.. Wanamaker'S address was
devoted to a discussion of that issue He
declared that corruption at it's worst and
the commercialism of politics are the chief

CHEERS FOR THE UNION JACK.
New York Theater Audience Goes
Wild Over the British Emblem.


NEW YORK, March 16.-If Queen Vic
toria and President Mckinley had suddenly
been set down in any one of a half dozen
city theaters last night their excellencies
would have been puzzled for a moment to
know whether they had alighted in New
York or London. The English and Ameri-
can flags and airs were cheered impair
TALLY. The late evidences of John Bulls
friendliness to Uncle Sam were the cause.
Charles Frohman, of the~ Empire Theater,
tried an experiment. The result proved
concusively that this good will is a matter
of reciprocity. The front of the theater
had been handsomely decorated with En-
glish and American flags, and in the lobby
and auditorium the stars and stripes and ST.
Georges cross were effectively blended
This display of bunting had prepared the
audience for something unusual and when
at the end of the first act the orchestra
struck up the familiar strain OF The Star
spangled Banner the applause was dea1en-
ing The curtain was raised again, and the
company assembled on the stage tried TO
sing the inspiring old song but the cheers
of the audience completely drowned the
ords. 1.-The Star-Spangled Banner ended,
the orchestra glided directly into GOD Save
the Queen" The effect was startling. For
an instant the audience was silent, seeming
scarcely to comprehend the meaning of the
music Then suddenly the significance OF
the combination of the two hymns burst
upon them. and their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. Men leaped to their feet all over
the house and cheered themselves hoarse,
while the ladies waved their handkerchiefs.
Nineteen times by actual count the curtain
rose and fell BY that time the crowd was
hoarse and out of breath, and the second
act was permitted to proceed

MERRY POLITICAL POT.
Major SteeIe's Fight for His RcnOm-
nation Only just Begun.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind March 16.-The announce
ment yesterday that Judge d. B. Mcconnell,
of Logansport, had determined to mako the
race fer Congress in this district, caused a
mild sensation in local political circles. 1t
has been known for ten days that petition
was circulating asking him to allow his
friends to use his name, but it was the
impression that he would decline to go into
the fight at this stage. Messrs. Cowgirl,
Statesman and Nicholson are pleased with
the advent of this new Richmond, while the
friends of Major Steele are disappointed,
since it is believed that Cass county, from
which Steele expected strong support, will
stand by Mcconnell. The adherents of
Steele affirm that Mcconnell is a personal
enemy of the major and that the sole pur-
pose in bringing him out is to- injure his
prospects, The situation is complicated and
it is clear now that with this new element in
the contest Major Steele will not only not
be nominated by reclamation but will have
an ugly fight to capture the honor.
