public is crying very scarce. Since the
explosion no other topic has been treat
ed earnestly in congress or out. De-
bates in either house upon any other
subject have fallen fiat, as if in vio-
lation of a proper sense of the fitness
of things. The galleries Of both hOuS-
es have every day been crowded with
spectators, and long lines of anxious
ones. have waited in the corridors for
chance to get in, although, as
rule, there has been little of a sensa-
tional character inside to reward these
efforts; but the public, in it's desire to
hear about Cuba. and unsatisfied with
the news from Havana have snatch
ed eagerly at what anybody in con-
gress might say on the burning ques-
ton, and the very mention of Cuba
has been sufficient to quicken the ears
of everyone within reach. This condi-
ton is clearly traceable to the Maine
explosion.
Cuban Topic Worn Out.
Before that event the Cuban topic
had become so worn out that only the
experts in belligerency cared for it,
and when 1t was noised abroad that
somebody was going TO talk about
Cuba the ordinary spectator of the gal
lery gave a sigh of weariness Nor
gan could have talked a month ago in
his most incendiary style, and he would
have had few listeners But the at
tention of the country, and of congress
particularly has been suddenly called
to the Cuban situation, and in this the
insurgent@cause has certainly gained
~ Of
the plausible theories advanced to ac-
count for the explosion, some Cuban
sympathizer at Key West mixed a few
pieces of dynamite with the coal taken
on there in order that the vessels de-
Struction might bring the two coun-
tries to blows, he has certainly made
some progress along the line intended
Such a miscreant, if there were one,
has made the Cuban topic a live one,
and so created a situation which it is
impossible to ignore. The loss of the
Maine must be accounted for and set
tied, and in thus shifting the burden
of action from the professional jingoes
to the shoulders of those who would
prefer a policy of hands off, one long
step has been taken towards the crit
ical stage.
Cuba's Gain.
If it turns out that the explosion was
due to an accident for which Spain is
in no sense blamable, the Cuban
question itself viii continue to excite
immeasurably greater interest because
Of the catastrophe. Spain's prospect of
putting down the insurrection is ap-
parently growing fainter with every
military season. 1t is even contended
here in congressional circles that the
so-called autonomy experiment has
proved so unsuccessful that the Sa-
gasta ministry may not long survive.
What the United States would do next,
in that event, is an interesting ques-
ton. According TO the presidents
message in December, we are now Civ
ing the autonomists time to see what

they can do. Some congressman think
that, with the opening of the rainv
season, when active military operations
necessarily cease, notice should be
served upon Spain that her day of
opportunity has ended.
Some other persons declare that at
such time it would be suicidal for
our government to assume a position.
a logical adherence to which might in
Volve US in war. If the Spaniards and
the Cubans cannot fight on the island
after the 1st of May, it would be a
bad time for troops Of more northern
climates to attempt it. Therefore, some.
congressman say, let us hasten to reach
a conclusion in regard to the Maine
disaster, in order that, if war is in
eVitable, 1t may come before the rainy
season. But it is evident that Presi-
dent Mckinley and his advisers will
take no hasty action. Several sources
of diplomacy for the settlement of the
vexed question still remain.

GRAND ENCAMPMENT, Wyo.,
Feb. 26.-Phenomenal assays of gold
ores from the Grand Encampment
mining district are making Wyoming's
new gold and copper camp one of the
attractive spots Of the world to min
ers and prospectors. Mining experts
from every gold-producing district in
America pronounce the Grand En-
campment ores to be uniformly richer
in the yellow metal than those of any
other mining camp yet discovered.
With one accord, these experts have
found the new camp to be an excep-
ton to all precedent in mining; for
here great mineral wealth is encount-
cred at the very grass roots. while in
Leadville, Cripple Creek, the Black
Hills and other lode mining districts
deep digging and long persistent eff
forts have been required in opening up
the golden bonanzas that have made
the reputation of the great mining
camps.
The assays made of the Grand En-
campment ores, during the few months
Of the camps existence, have brought
it to the attention of the entire min
ing world. with the result that a
powerful undercurrent, whose rami
facations seem to be reaching the bust
ness centers of the world, is already
pouring into the Sierra Madre mount
aims millions of dollars for the develop
ment of gold and copper prospects.
Among the most recent assays of
ores from this new gold camp are the
following twenty-five, five Of which
are from surface viens in place, five
from ten-foot holes, five from twenty
foot holes, five from surface float and
five from picked ores. These assays
tell a tale of wealth which is surpris-
ing even to the Transvaal or Klondike
visionary. They are as follows:

Senator Thurston, in the same debate,
gave utterance to this peaceful senti-
ment: II hope that the inquiry now
