View of FOREIGN Born Citizens.

Chicago Skandinaven: Every hearth
in the land is yelled in gloom and
draped in sorrow for the brave boys
who went down with the Maine.
Among our adopted citizens the grief
is no less heartfelt and sincere than
among those to the manor born. Our
nation is made up of many national
tiles that all blend into one under the
magic power of the starry banner.
Nearly all Of them were represented
on n Maine. The officers were native
born Americans, while about onc-half
of the men were adopted citizens, born
in the various countries of northern
Europe. First among the foreign born
i'm numerical strength came the Sean
dinavians. The published roster shows
forty-two Scandinavians, twenty-six
lrishmen, fifteen Germans, etc. Less
than 25 per cent of the Scandinavians
were saved.
Our adopted citizens mourn for the
precious lives thus wantonly lost. But
they do not shrink from the call of
duty; on the contrary, they are ready
for any sacrifice demanded by the hon
or of the flag and the welfare of our
common country. This, il is believed,
is true of our adopted citizens i'm gen
eral. The Skandinaven knows that it
rs true of all citizens of Scandinavian
birth. They are Il law abiding people
OF peace; but if war must be waged for
the sake of justice, liberty and the
honor of the flag they know their duty
and are eager to march at the first call
of the buglc. They are not comforted
by the assurance that "the people OF
the United States may possess their
souls in peace-thcre will be no wal
with Spain" They regard such senti.
mentS expressed at the present June.

The majority of the Scandinavians OF

PRAYERS HEARD IN BUSY MART
Bishop Gilbert Holds Lentcn Ser,

her of Commerce.

st. Paul, Feb. 2S.-Acrimoilious debate
on the floor OF the Chamber OF Commerce
yesterday afternoon gave way to religious
fervor n piety reigned in place of ma
terialism. 1t was a great innovation. and
for the first time in the history Of the
Episcopal church in this city Lenten SER
vices were held especially for the business
workers at high noon.
The attendance at the initial service was
a surprise to even Bishop Gilbert. who
conducted the meeting. His face lightened
up as the room filled to more than it's ca
pacity. Nor was the meeting wholly
given up to the men. There were over a
score Of ladies present who left their work
in busy offices.
1t was a wholly inspiring sound which
filled the corridors of this busy building. In
place of the rush and tramD of hurried
feet which is usual at noon time there
came the sound of the singing Of hymns
and Of voices in devout prayer. There
were many Of the leading business men
present. The services will continue daily
under the auspices of the st. Paul Mis-
sion Society of the Episcopal church.

De LONE DEFENDS SPANlARDS
Says the Explosion Could Not Have
Been Due to Them

Queenstown, Feb. 26.-Dupuy De
LONE, former Spanish minister at
Washington, who was a passenger on
the White Star steamer Britannia from
New York, which touched here at Z
o'clock last evening on her way to Liv-
erpool, was interviewed with reference
to the disaster to the United States
warship Maine in Havana harbor.
Mr.. De LONE said he could only re-
peat his expressions of deep regret
and that he knew it was quite possible
for Spaniards to view it in any other
light. Spaniards, he declared, wanted
peace and not war. He had many
friends among the officers of the
Maine and he loved them and America.

dent" said Mr.. De Lone, 'it could
never have been due TO the agency of

Ynlnre Girls IN Cities.

New York Times: DIR. Charles
Cuthbert Hal, president of the faculty
OF the Union Theological seminary, de-
livered an address deploring the I'M
creasing migration of young women
from the village TO the city, and attrib-
uting it to higher education. He said
he did not desire to put himself on rec
ord as being opposed to the higher ed
ucation OF women, nor did he think
there should be any arbitrary distinc-
ton between the sexes, but he insist
ed that the prevailing restlessness and
craving after literary and artistic tri-
umphs were due to extended latitude
in woman's sphere.

young women to seek success in art"
