WASHINGTON, May 9.-Extraordi-
nary measures have been adopted to
mobilize fifty thousand of the volun-
teers at Chlcamauga Immediately.

ders. The government intends to

SPANS Decadence.

Washington Post.
1t is impossible to contemplate the
present situation without a feeling
of pity for Spain. The spectacle of
a nation, once among the most pow
erful in the world--a nation which,
during 600 years. battled for its ex-
istence, its language, its institutions,
its identity, against the Moors; which
afterward assumed q leading place
in the equation of civilization; which
discovered, conquered, and for near
ty three centuries governed an en-
pire larger than all Europe com'
bined; which has produced scholars
poets, painters, musicians, states
men, and patriots without superiors
in the history of mantle spectacle
of this nation, still rich in splendid
possibilities, slowly but surely sink
ing into stagnation and imbecility i:
pathetic beyond all words.

ton of cooperation, and very strong

DID THEY DO RIGHT.

Last week The CAUCASIAN published
an amendment which Congressman
Bland offered to the war tax bill. 1t
was provision providing for the is
sue of greenbacks in the place of an
issue of interest bearing bonds pro-
posed in the bill. Eevery Populist
every silver Republican, and every
silver Democrat in the House cooper
ated to try to knock the bond provis-
ion out and put in BANDS greenback
amendment in its stead. Was this an
honorable cooperation? Was it CO.
operation for principle? Did these
POpulists, silver Republicans and sill
YER Democrats do right in co-operat-
ing against these evils and for such an
important reform.
In the Senate when the bill IS
up for action, every Populist, 10y
silver Republican, and every silver
Democrat VIII again cooperate to
strike out the bond provision and in
sert BANDS proposition for greenbacks
in its stead. Will the people endorse
such a course?
Ii such q cooperation by Congress-
men and Senators is justifiable and
right, then why not the masses of the
people who are opposed to bonds and in
favor of greenbacks CO operate and elect
a majority of such Congressman and
Senators so that greenback provision
may be enacted into law? A majority
Of the voters of America are in favor
Of ,uch legislation. If they will co.
operate to elect majority of Congress
then they will get such legislation
OF course those who are in favor Of
bonds and opposed to greenbacks viii
oppose such cooperation.

will mean the election Of six, and pos

Yet strange to say there are a few

1t will be remembered that the same

The only ornaments of the library con- sists of busts of the Popes-ten in num- ber- among which Plus VII and Plus TX are conspicuous. It is here that on certain semi-private occasions, as, for instance, his name day (Onomastico) in August, the Pope receives the visits of the Cardinals and his private frienGs.
 AS might be expected, the daily rou- tine of the Pope's life is extremely simple, but the amount of work of in- finite variety which he gets through in the day is incredible, considering his advanced age. He rises at z, at which hours his faithful valet and maggiord- ono, Centra, is always in waiting to assist at his masters toilet. His bed ro om is large and commodious with out vestige of luxury, but. the de- tails of his appared require the help of an attendant.

one print with another. It was Lin- tons misfortune that he lived through a time when the subjects given to the wood-engraver were most forlorn, and dull in the inartistic quality, and that the student is repelled by the wretched composition from work which might show admirably well all the resources of the wood-engraver's art. This Is to be borne in mind, then that not the at tractive picture only is the picture which should be studied.
 The same gallery contains a collec- tion of water color drawings with a few mono-chromes by the late Hamil- ton Gibson.

POPE LEO'S ROOMS IN THE VAT
 ICAN

Sacred Corners Seldom Seen by In-
 quisitive Visitors.
 The rooms actually inhabited by Pope Leo in the Vatican are not nu- merous, and only the Cardinals, his inn mediate surroundings, and those who are granted special audience are ad- from the Corte Damaso by the Scala Eegia, opposite the celebrated Sistine Chapel, which latter, although it actu- ally forms part of the private apart ments, is not difficult of access to the general public.
 The furniture of all the anterooms is modern and very simple, being made up of red damask and velvet, with gold lace hangings. There is nothing in them especially to attract the eye of to remind us that we are invading the privacy of the Pontiff, save the balda- chini or canopies, which are made use of in processions and other functions, y. Under one of these the Pope takes his solitary meals, for, by the etiquette of the Court, he is not permitted to enter tain even the nearest of relatives or to eat otherwise than alone.
 The private library, which overlooks the Piazza of St. Peter, has three win 1 dows, but some years ago the present Pope diminished its apparent size by means of richly embroidered damask screen, artistically disposed and lightly supported by elegant columns, which | divides the room into two parts. The walls are furnished with bookcases of | pearly whiteness, picked out in gold with golden foliage, but the books which repose in these shelves, as well as the numerous manuscripts, are not visible, being for the most part careful l ly covered by green silk hangings. The screen only reaches as far as the top oi | the windows, and thus the upper part of the room is left open.
 i The division of the room which has two windows contains but few books, | but On the side opposite the screen is g
