Y Bernabe and mis- stan, accompanied
by two United States secret service men
and a Pinkerton detective, proceeded at
once TO the Lafayette hotel where 1t Is

arrival in the dominion the minister and
his party were placed under protection
OF Thomas II. Young, chief of the on
tario police. and two detectives.
The minister sent dispatches to New
York. washington, Paris and Havana,
and did some $500 worth of cabling to
the foreign office at Madrid. He re-
ceived messages from Madrid, New York
and Montreal. The Spanish minister
made an exception to his policy of ST.
Ience when a reporter showed him dis
patch asking him to affirm or deny the
report that just before leaving Washing

eral Grant been president, this war would
have been impossible
'I did not make the statement said
Senior Polo, but those are my sentl-
ments. nevertheless. The United States

Further than this Polo refused to dis
cuss the situation.

London, April IA dispatch to the

Grave apprehenslons are entertained in

issue Of war may be decided not BY valor
and enthusiastic and dogged perseyer-
ence. qualities Of which the Spaniards
possess an abundance. but by reserves Of
coal and yietuals where they have made
but scanty provision in Cuba. 1t appears
that In respect OF coal. In particular,
they are worse Of than they have
hitherto imagined. The Spanish govern
ment. believing down 10 the very last
moment that peace would be preserved
through the intercesslon OF the pope and
powers. neglected 10 lay In sufficient pro-
vision of coal. despite the representations
made % them by one or two far-seeing
naval officers. Besides this. II Is be-
lleyed they never once inquired OF the
British or other neutral governments
whether coal would be regarded as con-
traband Of war. The result Is said 70
be a state Of things that may be fraught
with unpleasant surprises and bring hos
tilliies TO a premature end. Those In the
secret were anxious 70 overthrow the
cabinet on other grounds before the be-
ginning OF war. but patriotic considera-

THE POPE MUCH GRIEvEp.

London. April 22,-The Rome cores
pondent Of the Chronicle says:
The pope has thanked Archbishop Ire
land and Cardinal Gibbons for their ef-
forts In the cause OF peace. In view OF
the war, the vatican has cabled instruc-
tions to Monsignor Martinelll at Wash
lngton enjoining him 10 preserve the ut
most prudence and strict neutrality.
The nope is deeply disappointed that
his efforts during the past few days TO
secure from Spain renunclatlon OF Cuba
have not succeeded. His Holiness, who
loves and esteems the United States as
well as Spain. is profoundly grieved at
the prospect OF war. He said yesterday
to one Of his confdenates:
This war is an inexpressible grief for
my old age"
The departure OF Don Carlos is attrib-
uted to official representations by the
Spanish government which demanded
from the Italian government that he be
required TO leave Carlist agents are very
numerous in Italy and they declare that
a Carlist insurrection in Spain is certain
in the event OF that country's defeat.

 3. The people need the weekly rest and one day in seven for religious wor- ship; and so the divine lawgiver. our all-wise and merciful Father has made most benevolent provision for our wants. A State law should secure the opportunity for both.
 4. Men and women, especially those who depend upon their labor. are en- titled to such opportunity to rest and to worship; and the State owes it to the laboring classes to protect them in their rights. In San Francisco there are at least 1500 bakers whose en- | ployers require them to work seven days in the week all the year round Other similar illustrations are abund- ant.
 5. Christian morality and the Chris tian religion tend powerfully to pro- mote the best interests of the State: but no institution tends so much to foster both religion and morality as the Christian Sabbath when properly ob- served. If religion and morality be di- vorced from the State, that is, if tue secular theory of government prevail, 1 the latter will soon be ruined. A State without Sabbath is in very dan- | gerous condition. Let all the people do on the Sabbath day whatever is right l in their own eyes, and moral desoIa- tion will soon reign. All this is mani l fest from the fact that in proportion

 From the multitudes of testimonials by men whom all good people delight to honor, hear only few. Dr. Blakie says: '"The Sabbath is Gods special present to the working man; and one of its chief objects is to pro1ong his life tone" Do you believe that the Chris tian churches are desirable in our l land? Then hear what the great Dr. ! Mcleod wrote: Tt is not too much to say that without the Sabbath the church of God could not. as a visible society. exist on earth"
 Not long before his peaceful death the great English Premier, Gladstone said: 'I owe my health and vigor through long and busy life to the Sabbath day, with it's blessed surcease of toil.''
