PAPAL INTERVENTION.

as Usual Is Conflicting.
LONDON, April S.-The Rome cor
respondent Of the Daily News saws:
The Vatican received today (Thurs-
day. a dispatch from a parsonage
whose name cannot be mentioned. run
ming thus:
President Mckinley says an arnis-
must lead to the evacuation of Cuba
From other information that has
arrived at the Vatican it appears that
spain wishes to save the situ-
alton and that the United States will
avoid war only if the armistice means
that Spain is going to leave the island
and is ready to sign for evacuation.
All news received goes to confirm
the belief that the United States can
not and will not retire from this posi-
ton. Spain must give way if she wish
es to avoid war, having besides her
other burdens, the Carlist and Republi-
can dangers to ward off,
The Madrid correspondent Of the
STANDARD, telegraphing Wednesday
night, says: On sounding the Euro
pean governments about papal media
ton, the Spanish court and government
were somewhat surprised to discover
that all the Continental governments
were of the opinion that the best pol
Icy for Spain would be to assent to an
arm1st1ce in order to gain time to pre-
pare for a settlement of the Cuban
question by some understanding with
President Mckinley afterwards
The Rome correspondent Of the
Standard says: 1.-THE first announce
ment that the pope's mediation be-
tween Spain and the United States had
been offered and accepted by both
sides caused extreme surprise and an
noyance at the Vatican, as it was quite
premature and in that sense inexact.
No denial, however, was published, as
that would have been detrimental to
Spain, and the pope was known to be
working for the result which the dis
patches announced as already achiev-
ed.
''Since the crossing and re-crossing
of conflicting dispatches have been in
cessant. Even those received from
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland
and Mgr. Martinelli, the papal delegate
in the United States, have not been in
agreement with each other and decisive
word can now only come from Ameri-

COUNTY ASYLUM SYSTEM.

The legislature of 1897 passed resolutions
authorizing the board to make an inspection
of the Wisconsin system Of caring for insane
persons.
1t will be one of series Of trips which
have been made by the board inspecting the

The Wisconsin system provides for county
insane asylums. 1t Is said that the county
system is much preferable to the one now in
vogue in Minnesota.
Owing to the crowded condition Of the asy
lums Of the state it is not improbable that
county asylums may be provided for by the
next legislature in addition to the insane hos

lily continue the work of preparation
for possible emergencies, this work,
however, being now principally confin-
ed to completing matters heretofore be-
gun.
The most important step taken by
the navy department today was the
selection of commanding officers for
the vessels recently purchased from the
Morgan line. These are the magnificent
ocean steamers Ell Sud, Ell Rio, Ell
Norte and FL Sol, and the officers to
whom they have been assigned are
Commander William H: Brownson, now
abroad engaged in purchasing ships
and supplies; Commander Charles H.
Davis, Commander Charles J. Train
and Commander William H. Emory.
Orders to these officers will be issued
tomorrow.
but the department has directed the
board to select two vessels for distil-
ling ships and one collier.
The navy department was today in
formed that the states of Maine, New
Hampshire, Alabama and Texas are
taking preliminary steps for the for
nation of a naval militia.
The gunboat Machias today, sailed

fleet at Key West.
An order was issued establishing
new naval rating that of chief electri-
clans and electricians of the first and

Ready for Anything.
In the war department matters have
assumed normal condition, every
thing being in readiness for any con-
ditions which may arise
Reports received show that up to
this time there has been recruited 900
men of the 1000 men needed to fill the
two artillery regiments recently au-
thorized by congress.
Secretary AlgeS has made an addi-
tional allotment of $150,000 for the use
Of the ordinance bureau, the money to
be spent for ammunition and projec-

1t was pointed out at the navy de-

The Lien Law.

BY this phrase is usually understood
the Agricultural Lien Law, by which
q person pledges his crop to secure
payment for money or supplies to be
advanced in the future and used in
making n crop. The law vas proposed
by a farmer OF Marlboro county
thirty-two years ago. Every now and
then when times get crooked there is q
proposition to repeal. Twenty year
ago 1t was repealed to take effect II
months in advance and when the next
Legislature met it repealed the re-
pealing Act. The proposition is again
discussed. We doubt the cx~pcdiency Of
it. The landlord now by law has the
first lien for his rent; the laborer comes
next and this would seem TO be right.
herr are many poor men who depend
upon credit and CAM go to the Banks.
These must have some consideration.
The law might be amended or
modified so as to provide that a
fraction, as n fourth Of all apricul-
tural products, should be exempt
from liens or mortgages ante
cedently given. The subject will be
discussed by the present. Legislature,
but we anticipate no Change. Legisla-
tors as a rule are 'tnderfcots," and
will be slow to changea policy appar-
emily engraftcd upon otr agricultural
system But no law Of 1.-THE kind will
be made TO effect the current year.
