DIscoR0ANT NOTES
In the Opinions of Congressman Con-
corning the Message.

Washington, March 2S.-There is a
great divergence of opinion as to the
presidents message among members of
congress, especially among the members
of the house.
A few opinions from the many inter-
views obtained are here given:
Rep. Dockery of Missouri: I confess to
deep sense of disappointment.
Rep. Quigg of New York: The presi-
dent is acting with absolute good judg-
ment
Rep. Livingstone of Georgia: The mes
sage reads like an apology.
Rep. McMillin of Tennessee: The mes
sage is thoroughly n-committal
Representative Russell of Connecticut:
The presidents message was calm and
dispassionate. BETTING the gravity of the
subject.
Representative Hartman Isilver rep. of
Montana: The message simply con-
firms what every one knows. that the
president in his every act Is responsive
to the wishes of the Spanish bond-hold-
ers and the so-called business interests
of the country, which, being nterpre-
ted, means the moneyed interests and
gold gamblers of the world.
Representative Hopkins Of Illinois,:
think the next step should be armed in
tervention.
Representative Cooper of Texas: l
think the proposition to feed the Cubans
weak and ineffective course.

Commander Elmer. is at the New
York navy yard, which will be the
centre Of his future operations. His
duties respecting the selection of craft
for the fleet are the same as those per-
formed by the board, which for the
past weeks has been engaged in the
inspection Of merchant vessels for the
auxiliary defense preliminary to their
purchase by the navy department. The
commander and his assistants will
will communicate by letter with persons
and firms owning small craft with a
view to determining just how many are
available, and at what price the owners
would sell or charter them to the gov
eminent. So far as practicable, it is
the intention of the department that
there shall be a separate set of ships
for the defense of each Of the sea coast
cities, the whole to compose the mos

The big naval fleet in the vicinity of
Key West received an important addi-
tion today in the arrival of the cruiser
Cincinnati and the gunboats Whining
ton and Castine, which were at Port
Antonio. Jamaica, when last heard
from. The Cincinnati and Castine com
prised the recent south Atlantic squad
ron and were called home severa!
weeks ago. These vessels are believed
to be in excellent condition for active
service and will be retained at Key
West for the present.
Owing to her great speed, the Gin
cinnati probably will be added to the
flying squadron in case it Is deemed
advisa Bile to enlarge that fleet.

THE FI.oUNcB MUCH WORN.

The circular flounce-probably be-
cause 1t is an entire change from fa-
miliar styles of seasons past-has be-
come quite popular on gowns designed
both for house and street wear. 1t is
the exception on tailor dresses, how
ever, and even on other costumes there
is very noticeable defect in the ad-
justment of the flounce. No matter
how perfectly it is cut and applied to
the upper half of the skirt, after being
worn few times it says in places par
ticularly if the goods composing the
gown are lightly woven, like serge,
wool armure, or etamine. Graceful as
it looks on some Of the elegant unworn
French gowns, it is not style that is
likely to last, for the dressmakers pre-
fer to make other styles, and when
they are personally requested to follow
the f1ounoe model, the patron ordering
the circular effect almost invariably re-
grets it.

THEY WANT PEACE.
American Peace Society Sends Message
to President Mckinley

'
to President Mckinley.
Boston, March 2S.-The following mes
sage has been forwarded to President
Mckinley:
Boston, Mass, March 2S, 1898.
ITO the President Of the United States:
'tThe American Peace Society, speak
ing through it's board of directors, is
impelled with unanimity to express
to the president the profound satisfac-
ton with which they observe, commend
and support his policy in dealing With
the relations of the United States with
Spain and Cuba Humane men through
out the world, and nowhere so strong
ly as in the United States, deplore the
distress and suffering of the Cuban pop
ulation. Every influence possible to
the United States should be eXerted to
tXterminate these horrible conditions
every influence short of war.
eve ask for no policy of cowardice,
but of stern self-control. Sentiment and
sympathy must yield to the strong be-
hests of conscience. The Christian sci
ence of our people insists that peace is
a nobler and more humane policy than
war
May God give to you, our honored
president, to your trusted cabinet and
to the congress OF the country, contin-
ued strength, courage and wisdom to
adhere to a policy of peace, even if it
needs great patience. We believe that
such a course as you have 50 far puF-
sued will, if continued a little longer,
lead to pacific solution of all the diff
Culties now pending-a solution which
will be true to the noblest ideals and
hopes of our powerful Christian nation,
and at the same time in no way false
to the claims of justice and humanity.

SITUATION IN SPAIN.
Energetic Reply Made 20 Woodford-Pub-

lie Opinion Opposed to Yielding.
London, March 29.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail gives
version of the negotiations between
United Minister Woodford and the
Spanish cabinet last week, differing
somewhat from that given yesterday
by the Standards Madrid correspond
ent. He says: "The note which Gen.
Woodford presented on Wednesday
was of a commnatory nature. 1t de-
manded that Spain put an end to the
war in Cuba Immediately, recapitulat-
ing the damage done to American in
terests, and further limiting that the
war was a danger to the public health
of the United States. the continual
smuggling between the coasts of Cuba
and Florida being the means of convey
ing the yellow fever.
''Spain's reply was energetic. 1t de-
clared that the war would have been
ended long ago but for the material and
moral help and support the rebels were
continually receiving from the United
States. The Spanish note complained
of the policy followed by the United
States in demanding from Spain the
termination of a war which the United
States were virtually maintaining, by
the presence of a squadron in the neigh
borhood of Cuba, and by organizing
succor for the reconcentrados in man
ner that would be offensive to any ma
ton, as well as by keeping in Havana
a consul who is publicly the agent and
representa- tive of the rebels.
f'Public opinion rejects all idea of
Welding. and apparently neither desires
nor fears war with the United States.
"Yet Spain knows she is confronted
with the most serious conflict she has
had to face since the Napoleonic wars.
'tThere is an ominous absence of ex-
citement among the people, whose one
topic is the possibility Of war, 1t is
the calm before the storm, which will
break when the American ultimatum

MUTTON PIE.

This is very good and economical
family dish, and can be made with the
remains of a cold leg or loin, or any
other joint of mutton, from which nice,
neat slices of rather lean meat can be
cut. These should be put, with a good
seasoning, in alternate layers with
thinly sliced potatoes, into a pie dish,
commencing at the bottom with some
OF the meat, and finishing at the top
with potatoes. Parsley, savory herbs,
onion or shallot, with a little mace,
white pepper and salt, may be used at
discretion. A cupful of good gravy
from the meat should be poured into
the pie before the crust is put on.
