chant, and everywhere he goes he is given
hearty welcome by the people who depend
upon his visits for the purchase of the neces-
saries, and some of the Injuries, of life.
Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war,
and from this fact is made the remarkable
experience which he related at the Trans-
c7Tpt Office recently. His story, telling of
the evils Of which the Civil War was but
the beginning in his own, and in thousands
of other cases, was as follows:

Deserted From IN. Main.

DENVER, May 20.-A dispatch filed
at Helper, Utah, from the News cor
respondent accompanying the Colo
RADIO troops says;
At o'clock yesterday, when the
headquarters train was near Red
'Uliff, General Hale was awakened Dy
a man who claimed TO be deserter
from the battlcship Maine and said
he lad bearded the train With view
Of giving himself up 10 the authori-
ties. He gave the name Of Michael
Powers. He said he deserted January
IS, 1897.
His request was that he be taken
TO San Francisco and delivered to the
navy. General Hale took the mans
description and telegraphed the Sec
retary Of the navy.
Powers was given permission by the
trainmen to ride until an answer was
received, He is man 81 years old,
and appears to give a straiehtfor-
ward story. His opinion was that
small punishment would be meted out
TO him, as he offered himself TO serve
again in time OF war.

was made at Salem, where q large
crowd had gathered to cheer the brave
boys onward.
LOCAL VOLUNTEERS.
The work of securing signatures or
the organization of volunteer COM
panies in Salem is progressing most
satisfactorily, and one or two strong
companies will no doubt be for med
within a few days. Capt. NJ. w.
Hunt and colleagues have already
secured about forty signatures and
with continuation,o Of the good work
for the next few days, the desired
number will be secured. Major d.

tion and people Of all parties recog-
nize him as the right ma n in the

such as to entitle him to the support

coal anxiety may have prompted Com
modore Howell to make this port. He
had not heard a single word during the

there was much anxiety as to whether

ment. Undoubtedly it means war un-
less Spain agrees to make final terms
with the insurgents and TO recall her
troops from Cuba. 1t must convince
Europe that the case for American in
tervention is a very strong one. Presi-
dent McKinleys refusal to recognize
the independence of Cuba on the ground
that It would nullify Americas claim
to interfere is sound sense and a stag
gerer for the iingoes, but Spain must
Loyalty cooperate with him if war is
to be averted."
The Standard says: "The undis.
guised disappointment Of the iingoes at
the subdued and cautions tone of the
message cannot fail to cheer the friends
of peace. Assuming an obligation to
send the message at all one could hard
ly have been drafted on lines less cal
