1t Is a Declaration of War.

With the hnal action OF congress, making 1t mandatory
upon the President: to demand of Spain the withdrawal at once
OF her forces and authority from Cuba and to use the United
States land and naval forces to accomplish this result in case
Spain refuses to comply with the demand, there is no escape
from war. 1t is equivalent to a declaration of war.
Call on the Governors for $4,000 militia will probably
be issued a few hours after the resolutions are signed by the
President.
Spain's declared policy to not fire the first shot will be
tested by sending food to Cuba in battleships and accom-
panied by United States troops.
United states Fleets win Move ON Havana Sunday.
WASHINGTON, April Io-Non-complance by Spain with
the terms of President McKinley's ultimatum will be followed
by the dispatch Of the North Atlantic and the flying squadrons
at IS minutes past O'Clock Sunday morning, Washington
time, to Cuba and Porto Rico to GUST her from those islands.
This decision was reached at the two Cabinet sessions
held to-day.
Briefly, the plan determined upon is to institute an imme-
date blockade OF Cuba and Porto Rico and to take possession
of ports near Havana and San Juan, which will be held by
marines and blue-jackets until they are relieved by armies
transported from the United States.
1t will be the duties OF these armies to assist the naval
~squadrons in the reduction of Havana and San Juan. With
the entrance of the armies into Cuba and Porto Rico, supplies
will be shipped into the island and will be distributed by
the commissary officers to such Cubans as may be in need.
Secretary Long has notified Captain w. T. Sampson,
comnander-in-chief of the North Atlantic Squadron, and
Commodore W.. S. Schley, commander-in-chief OF the Flying
Squadron, OF the decision which has been reached by the gov
eminent, and these officers will have the vessels OF their fleets
in readiness to move the moment the word is given that Spain
has declined to meet the demands OF President Mckinley.
Under the plan determined upon, Captain SIMPSONS
vessels will not only blockade Havana, but will blockade
every other port in Cuba, both on the northern and on the
southern coast, and the Flying Squadron, under the COM
mand OF Commodore Schiey, viii take similar action with
reference to the ports OF Porto Rico.
The Cabinet, being convicted that war is necessary, is in
favor of making ii fast and hot.
The President to Cali for Volunteers.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., April 7o.-A bill will be introduced
in both houses OF Congress to-day authorizing the President to
call put volunteers for service during the expected war with
Spain.
The United States soldiers are moving toward the South
in great numbers and the army is being modified as fast as
possible. Some idea OF the cost OF Transporting troops may
be formed from the fact that ii was necessary to aIot s., ooo,-
to-day to deray the expenses Of the movements already
ordered.

A ChicagO0
Newspaper |!

Every self-supported and self-respect-
ed head of family in this section ought
to take at least two newspapers-his own
home paper and the Chicago Journal.
We give the preference to the local
paper, because that is the one that comes
nearer home to the man. and in which
he should have a direct, personal and
friendly interest.
Newspapers cost so little nowadays,
however, that it entails no heavy burden
on anyone able to rear his family decently
to enable him TO take both his local paper
and The Journal. In no other way is it
possible to get SO much Of pleasure and
profit at so little expenditure of money.
The CHICAGO Journal is the leading
newspaper published in the West, indie.
pendent in politics, and at all times ana
under all conditions advocating what it
believes to be right and just to all men.
The Journal is easily the popular
paper of this section. 1t contains every
day the Latest Reliable News the Bri ght-
est Editorial, the Cleverest Special Ar
ticles and the wittiest Cartoons of any
paper printed in the English language.
Ask your agent in your town for a

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES FOR
SETTLERS

In order to encourage the movement
of settlers and land buyers from Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and the east ern states to
Western Minnesota, South Dakota and
North Dakota, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul Railway company has very
materially reduced its carload rates for
emigrant movables, SO that farmers who
have purchased lands in Western Mime
sofa, South Dakota and North Dakota
can take all of their belongings with them
to their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
will no doubt be greatly appreciated by
those who are thus benefited.
For further information apply to any
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul railway, or to J. H. Hiland, general
freight agent, Old Colony building, Chi

Anti-Scalping Bill.

By formal action practically all of
the transportation companies of the
country and boards of trade and
kindred commercial organizations,
and religious and other societies,
have sanctioned the bill known as
the "Anti-Scal ping Bill" and urged
upon congress the expediency and
justice Of it's enactment.
The bill contemplates the abolition
Of traffic by irresponsible and unau-
thorlzed persons, in railroad and
steamship tickets, and confines such
transactions to the duly constituted
agents Of the transportation COM
panles, and oblgates all common
carriers to promptly and equitably
redeem passage tickets when for any
reason unused IN whole or part.
The interstate commerce commits
sion IN its annual reports to congress
has again and again reviewed the evils
OF ticket scalping and uniformly urged
upon congress the expediency and JUS
tlce to the travelling public and the
railways, OF such amendments to the
Interstate commerce act as would
abolish the practice and limit sales
OF passage tickets to responsible and
properly authorized channels.
AS rule, the ticket scalper, in his
province of q self-constituted agent,
is unable, were he so disposed, to
discriminate touching the legitimacy
or regularity Of tickets rendered and
purchased in the course of his trans
actions. 1t therefore follows that
his office creates convenient market
for lost, stolen or fraudulent tickets,
and likewise, an incentive and temp
tatlon to railway employees to,
through the medium Of the ticket
broker, defraud the companies whom
they serve. This feature of the
business Of the ticket scalper being
self evident, should condemn his
trarSa ctlOns from a moral stand
point.
The business of the ticket scalper
does not appear to, in any essential
way, serve the economy, convenience
or welfare Of the public; conversely,
the unfair and unlawful manipulation
of excursion tickets to which heneceS-
sarily resorts to obtain profit from
the business. cOmpels the railways
~ SuIIOuuu sum lOTIIlS Oh transport
tation with restrictive conditions
initiating against convenient and eco,
economical use by legitimate purchas-
ers, and not in frequently the ticket
scalpers' methods compel the rail
ways, in a reasonable protection Of
their interests, to decline meritorious
applications for excursion fares, par
| tICularly when such concessions in
vOlve important commercial centers
or movements of large bodies Of
people.
The moral influence of the ticket
scalper's avocation is deplorable
from whatever point of view it may
be considered, and in the interest Of
public morals and fair dealings, the
law-abiding, thinking people Of the
country should raise their voice and
influence in the direction of securing
enactment of the measures now under
consideration by congress.

st. Johns, N. F., August 7.-Captain
Major, of the mail steamer Virginia
Lake, frcm Labrador, which arrived to-
day, expresses the belief that some ship
certainly has been sunk in the Straits
of Belle Isle. Reports to that effect
lie says, are current along the whole
northern coast of the island, besides
which quantity OF deals, cheese boxes
aid other wreekage have drifted
ashore at Flowers Cove, near the scene
Of the reported disaster.
Captain Major is surprised that mors
wrecks are not reported, because the
fog in that region has been the heav-
lest known in thirty years, continuing
fourteen days, daring which time not
sight of the sun has been obtained.
On Saturday, July SO, large Allan line
steamer with 500 passen gers aboard. was
almost ashore at Belle Harbor and on
Tuesday last two other liners were iw
great danger off Chateau
The steamer Ipsden is a total wreck
at Point Amour, owing to the same
cause.
Captain Major expects further news
regarding the reported disaster when
the steamer Leopard, from North Lab
rador, due on Tuesday shall arrive.

Chickamauga, Chattanooga Ma

Aside from some important plans
which are being formulated at Camp
Thomas with reference to the health
and comfort OF the troops, this was a
Gay Of quiet and rest.
The signal corps, under command
Of Major Squire, has been delayed two
or three days, responding to an order
to proceed to Newport News, but will
depart at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The improvement Of the sanitary
condition Of the regimental camps is
the absoI bling matter at the park now.
Definite plans will have been tormu-
lated within a day or two, after which
time the mana cement Of the camp will
be under new and very rigid regula-
lions as regards the disposition OF gar
bage and refuse matter, and the prep
aratiOn and serving Of food. All
drinking water will be boiled, and this
regulation is one which will not in the
dtion which it is hoped to bring about
as early as possible IS that Of having
the tents Of all the men provided with
board floors.
With the still further purpose Of adj
ding to the health conditions, practice
marches are being arranged for. On
Thursday Of this week the engineer Of
ficers Of all the divisions will go out
to locate the most practical routes for
these marches, and the regiments will
be sent out later by brigades in heavy
marching order for a four days abb
sence from the park. The march will
cover about sixty miles going and COM
ing, and the men will occupy shelter
tents at night.
Numerous furloughs are being grant
ed cOnvalescents, in accordance with
the recent order to allow patients re-
covering from serious illness a thirty
days furlough and transportation home.

GUSSIE PROBABLY SAFE.

Washington, August Z. - Adjutant
General Corbin said tonight that while
no definite information had been re-
ceived by the War Department con-
corning the steamer Gussie, reported
lost off the southwest coast of Cuba,
eh was reasonably sure the vessel was
safe. She was sent to Santiago with
supplies. and from there was TO go to
Porto Rico with ordnance stores for the
army of invasion. Dispatches about
transports from both General Shafter
and General Miles were received TO-
day and no reference is made to the
Gussie and it is taken for granted
that she is carrying out the pro-
gramme arranged for her.
