UNITED States Senator Quay has
communicated to County Chairman
Berkley his desire 10 register As can
didate, aud to have his name submit
ted to the Republican voters at the ap-
preaching primary election. In his
communication the Senator expresses
the wish that his name be announced
at the earliest date practicable, in order
that any other candidate for the same
Office may become acquainted with the
fact and be given the same opportunity
to submit his name. Chairman Berk-
ley is holding the matter under advise
ment, as the party rules are silent on
the subject Of candidates not of this
county being allowed to register.
Should he decide to allow Senator
Quay to register, Of course the same
privilege would be accorded to any
other Republican candidates. The
HERALD can see no reason why this
should not be done, and the Repnb-
lican voters Of the county thus be
afforded an opportunity Of expressing
their choice of a candidate for United
States Senator.

Avalanche Cost Perhap. looL iver.

SKAGUAY, Alaska, April T. via Vieioria,
B. c., April 9.-The horror on the d, ea
trail is growing in magnitude hourly. AS
the work of rescue proceeds it becomes
more apparent that many more lives
were lost than at first thought possible.
IL is now believed that between 50 and
100 men and women were killed by the
avalanche. Many bodies will never be re-
covered until the sun melts the tons OF
snow and ice that now bury them from
sight.
Two or three thousand men are work
ing in relays of as many as eau stand
side by side, shoveling away the debris
in search of the dead aud dying. Twen-
ty-.wo dead bodies have been recovered
and identified, and twenty five have been
taken out alive.

WHILE the Senate was waiting Mon
day morning for the Presidents mes
sage, Senator Quay took the opportu-
nifty of making clear his position on
the SpaBish-Cuban question. A tele-
gram he had received from the Trades
League, of Philadelphia, urging him
to "Stand by the President" was used
as the basis of his remarks. Mr.. Quay
said:
81 desire to say to these gentlemen
that / have little hesitaney in accord
ing to their very reasonable suggestion.
have an affectionate, personal regard
for the President, and absolute conf
dence in his patriotic craftsmanship.
[ have confidence that he will always
be in accord with the best thought and
interest of his country. The people of
the United States, in my judgment,
are pretty nearly unanimous that the
time for negotiation ON the Cuban ques-
ton is past. The present is a case for
neither pope, prelate or presbyter.
They believe that further negotiations
mean further time for the concentration
of the Spanish naval forces, and for
general Spanish preparations for war.
they know that Spanish torpedo flo
tilIa is en- route for our shores, whose
mission is hostile, whose only interest
can be to destroy our vessels, as the
Maine was destroyed, and slay our sail
ors as the sailors of the Maine were
slain. They know that only yesterday
two Spanish war vessels sailed west
ward, and will be with us in ten days.
''They believe that bloodshed will be
averted or diminished by prompt action
of the gOvernment-not by declaring
war, but 10y making war in self defense
before Spain can secure further naval
or military advantage-and perhaps
without reason) that delay is largely
sought or urged by those interested in
the Spanish success or by those who
would market the national honor and
make merchandise of the blood and
bones of the dead of the Maine: that
intervention should be armed, imme-
diate and impetuous; that not merely
stable but republican form of gov
erhmept should l,e given the Cubans
that the Spaniards should get out of
Cuba-they should stand not upon the
order Of their going, but go at once.
For these purposes they believe the
army and navy of the United States
should be utilized until Cuba is free and
the Maine is avenged"

Shoots His Wife Twice at cunbsrlana.:.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, April S.-W- F.
Sands, a tailor, shot his wife twice on the
street to-day. One bullet went through
her cheek, lodging in her neck, and the
other through her hand. Two weeks age.
just before Sands attempted snicide by
taking lauGanum, his wife left him. Since
then he has been threatening her. Mrs.
Sands once kept a hotel at Manningtop,
w. Va She was a Mrs. Frank, but had
obtained partial divorce. She married
Sands in Washington, but it was not
legal. She came here in December and
represented herself to be widow. Sands
followed, and because of this representa-

self up, and expressed the hope that bis

M'KINLEY ASKSPOWER
Desires to U.e the Army and Eavy in the
Name Of Humanity.
TO RESTORE PEACE II cusA.

The long expected message Of the pres
ident Of the United States was laid before
congress at noon Monday. It's climax is
reached in the concluding paragraphs,
which follow:
The long trial has proved that the OBJ
ject for which Spain has waged the war
cannot be attained. The FIRE of insur-
rection may fame or shoulder with vary
ing seasons, bat it has not been and it is
plain that it can not be extinguished by
present methods. Theonly hope Of relief
and repose from a condition which can
no longer be endured is the enforced
paci6cation of Cuba
In the name OF humanity, in the name
Of civilization, in behalf of endangered
American interests which give US the
right and the duty to speak and to act,
the war in Cuba must stop.
In view of these facts and considera-
tions, I ask the congress TO authorize and
empower the president to take measures
to secure q full and final termination of
hostilities between the government Of
Spain and the people of Cuba, and to
secure in the island the establishment of
a stable government capable of maintain
ing order and observing its international
obligations, ensnring peace and tranquil
ity and the security of its citizens as well
as our own, and TO use the military and
naval forces Of the United States as may
be necessary for these purposes.
And in the interest of humanity and to
aid in preserving the lives of the starving
people of the island, recommend that
the distribution of food and supplies be
continued and that an appropriation be
made out of the public treasury to sup
piement the charity of our citizens.
The issue is now with the congress. It
is a solemn responsibility. have ex-
hausted every effort to relieve the intol-
erable condition of affairs which is at our
doors Prepared to execute every obli-
CATION imposed upon me by the Constitu-
tion and the law, await your action.
Yesterday, and since the preparation Of
the foregoing message, official information
was received by me that the latest decree
of the queen regent Of Spain directs Gen
eral Blanco, in order to prepare and
facilitate peace, to proclaim a suspension
of hostilities, the duration and details OF
which have not yet been communicated
to me. This fact, with every other peril
nent consideration, will, am sure. have
your just and careful attention in the
solemn deliberations upon which you are
about to enter. If this measure attains a
successful result, then our aspirations as
a Christian, peaee-loving people will be
realized. Ifit fails, it will be only anoth-
er justification for our contemplated
action.

his Nine BLEW Up The Maine.

A dispatch from London gives state
ment by ]. o. Gibbons, the submarine
mine expert who has furnished Spain
with all mines Of this character used by
that government since 1856. Gibbons
says, despite the assertions of the Spanish
legation at Washington that there are no
shipped mines to Havana on a Spanish
ship. They were Of such character that
they could not be exploded except by de-
sign and by Spanish officers. Gibbons
declared that he had not the slightest hes
itation in saying that the Maine was de-
liberately destroyed with a 500 pound
ground mine, invented and supplied by
him.

Captain General Blanco Insults Him on the
Eve Of His Departure.
Consul General Lee left Havana at 5:I5
Saturday afternoon. His departure wit
messed many dramatic incidents. He was
the last American to leave the treacher-
Gus Spanish port. TIE wharfs on both
sides Of the harbor were lined with Span
iards who Missed and jeered as the Fern,
on which Lee had taken passage steamed
away. General Lee made an official visit
at the Spanish castle Saturday morning
when Captain General Blanco refused 10
receive him. The treatment by Blaneo
ineensed Lee, but he concealed his anger
and LEFT the Castle amid the curses and
taunts of the Spanish officers. Before
leaving the harbor Lee said: This is
the last ship of the American navy which
will pass out of this hsrbOr with the
Spanish flag floating over MORO Castle.
Our next vessel in this port will salute
the stars and stripes" Lee arrived at
Key West early Sunday morning and at
noon left for Washington.
