The futility of endeavorilg to anti
clpate the progress Of ages is well
shown in the case of the Church of st.
Marie Woolnoth, situated in the heart
OF London. According TO the terms of
the original grant of this tract of land,
it was forever to remain the site of a
church, but as It IS n the heart of
the city, and particularly desirable
location for one of the stations of the
Metropolitan railway, It was decided,
while II was necessary not to disturb
the church, station should be built
directly underneath II in the cellar. A
spacious vault has been constructed
underneath the church for the accom-
mediation OF the railway tracks, the
ceiling being supported by steel arches
and massive iron pillars. Stairways
and elevators lead up on each side OF
the church.

SENATORS ON MESSAGE.
It Did Not Receive the Indorsement of
Majority OF tho Members

WAsnNGToN, April II. The Presi-
dents message did not, after the first
reading, receive the Endorsement of a
majority OF the Senators, and many
excused themselves from speaking
about it until they could have time
for careful perusal. In general way
the objections were based upon the
ground that It did not go far enough
in recognizing the rights of the Gu
bans.
The senators who have been espe-
cially noted for their conservatism
were pleased, but they were the ex-
ception TO the rule, and many of those
senators who had in the past few days
shown disposition to slaclSen their
opposition to a conservative course
appeared to be disposed to return to
their original positions
Senator Chandlers views of the mes
sage are as follows:
"First-A graphic and powerful de-
scriptiou of the horrible condition OF
affairs in Cuba
''Second-An assertion that the in.
dependence of the revolutionists shall
not be recognized until they have
achieved their own independence be.
yond the possibility of overthrow.
"Third-An argument against the
recognition of the Cuban republic.
'Fourth-As to Intervention in the
interest of humanity, that is wei
enough, and also on account of the
injury TO commerce and peril to oul
citizens and to generally uncomforta
bic conditions all around
"Fifth-Ilustrative of these uncom

Edible oils.

In Egypt and the Soudan, in India
and all through the east an enormous
trade is carried on in vegetable oils
which take the place Of our butter and
margarine products. One of the prln-
cipal edible oils is obtained from the
ground nut, known in France as "ara-
chide oil" Over 100000 hundred
weight of these nuts are annually inn
ported into that country for its pro-
duction. Belgium also takes vast
quantities. Arachlde oil is an excel
lent soap maker, besides being an edi-
BILE oil, and when cotton oil is high
in price will compete well with It in
this branch of industry. In Europe
there is already a very large consump-
ton of II, to be counted in tens Of
thousands OF tons.

the Spanish empire, and early IN the
eighteenth century one by one OF her
vast possessions in America began TO
slip from her until the surrender OF
San Juan de Ulloa lett her without a
single possession upon the American
continent. Cuba and ;he Philippine
islands clone remain to her in Ameri-
can waters to tell OF her once vest pos

from under her control.
The story OF Spain's granduer, her
rise and fall, is the most romantic and
Absorbingly interesting Of any nation,
not excepting that OF Rome and those
Of the Orient, that has ever existed on
the earth, and while we may despise
her for her cruelties and the long
ages OF blood that mark her history,
we cannot escape a ,iuge Of sorrow
and regret st her fading greatness.

In the receding glory Of this ono
proud and imperial nation it is no
diff suit to find the reason. One siDgl
word-inhumsnity-tells the Who'll
story.
While the other great nations o
Europe kept pace with the progress o

The presidents message is a strong and
nasterful presentation Of the grounds
upon which 1t is the duty Of this country
to intervene in the affairs Of Cuba. His
reasons why 1t is injudicious for US to
FecogniEe the co-called government OF
Cuba are so logical and satisfying mat
they must receive the cordial approval
not only Of true friends Of cuba but Of
all sensible people who have studied the
Cuban question from any standpoint. In
fact. as the president plainly points out,
the recognition Of the present civil or
ganlzation would only embarrass the
scheme Of Intervention and frustrate the
very objects Of humanity and ameliora-
ton which alone justify the interference
Of this government In this particular;
IN the treatment OF the Maine disaster;
in his reference to the political condition
Of Cuba's people, and in his discussion Of
the whole subject Of the Cuban trouble
in its relations to the interests Of this
country, the message is a superb docu-
ment 1t will reflect credit on the wisdom
and craftsmanship OF our chief magis-
uate, and add lustre to our great nation.
standing now as the chief figure Of inter
est in the eyes Of enlightened and civil
ized people throughout the entire world.

After all the abuse that has been
beaped upon Mr. Clark, he has made the
FIRST businesslIke proposition FOR the de-
veiopment OF Astoria's industries that
has been suggested since Hammond's con-
trao, for the construction OF the railroad.
1t would be difficult to see how a fairer
efer or one bearing better evidence OF
good faith on its face could be made. It
IS proposition which puts Astoria capi-
talists and business men to the test. II
they do not accept Mr.. Clarks PROPOSE
ton. and that right promptly and heartily,
they must stand convicted of the charge
heard against them up and down this
coast and all over the country that they
are too selfish and thrittless to want TO
do anything for themselves or their COM

Of helpless imbecility and listlessness for
some one to come along and pull them
out of the hole.
