Public Took the Presidents Message as
Well as Could Be Expected.
WASHINGTON, April Is. The cabinet
meeting was unimportant. No bust
ness of consequence was transacted,
and nearly the entire session was con.
sumed in conversation concerning the
reception of the presidents message
sent to congress. 1t is stated that al
though the message does not seem to
be in entire accord with the views of
many members of congress, its recep-
ton generally throughout the country
is very satisfactory to the administra-
ton. The fact that many of the leading
newspapers of the country heartily en-
dorse it is especially gratifying to the
president. The commendatory tone of
the leading London papers is also graft
flying. On the whole the spirit in
which the message has been received
is all that was expected by members Of
the administration, who express them"
selves as satisfied with it's reception.

Death OF Mrs. S. M. Bailey.

The joy of Easter-tide was shadow
ed by sorrow on account of the death
OF Mrs. S. M. Bailey, an old resident,
which occurred at the home of Judge
Darling early Saturday morning after
q weeks illness of pneumonia. Mrs.
Bailey, was born in Jefferson Co. N. Y.
March 10, 1882, but spent most of
her married life Wisconsin where her
husband met with an accidental death
in the prime of his manhood. She
naturally followed her children to
Minnesota and has lived in Morris
during the most of her widowhood
making her home principally with her
daughter at whose house she died.
Mrs. Bailey was woman, of rare execu-
tive ability and exceptionally active
and vigorous for her years, one whose
kingdom was the homo and who to
her own and her grandchildren was
Martha of true domestic devotion.
She had little time or inclination for
outside interests, her circle of general
acquaintance was not large, but those
who knew her best priced her most.
The funeral was attended from the
house, Rev A. H. Tebbets of the Con
gregationas church conducting the
brief and simple service, and she was
laid to rest amid the flowers offspring
time that she had so loved in her life
while upon her casket were placed the
floral offerings of friends, The re-
naming family of Mrs. Bailey consists
of Mrs. George Darling, j. W. and
Fred Bailey, all residents of this city,
to whom we extend our sincere SYM
patty.
H CARD OF THANKS.
!, To the many self-sacrifcing friends
who SO constantly lent us unstinted
assistance and kindliest sympathy
during the sickness, death and burial
of our mother, we offer this tribute of
grateful appreciation and our heart
felt thanks.

WASHINGTON, April ia senator
close to the president says that the
greatest criticism upon the message Of
the president is that it did not SLY any.
thing about Independence. He refers
to these words near the end of the
message: sand to secure in the island
the establishment of a stable govern
ment, capable of maintaining order
and observing the international obliga-
tons"
The senator added that ''stable gov
eminent" cap able of observing its in.
ternational obligations must be inde-
pendent. If it was non an Independent
government it would have no interna-
tional obligations. The same senator
insisted that this part of the message
meant independence, but the president
was writing document that meant
history and precedent, and he had to
confne himself to diplomatic language.

BRITISH COMMENT.
Press Generally Believes That War Is
Inevitable.

Press Generally Believes That War II
Inevitable.
LONDON, April 13.-The Daily News
commenting editorially upon the presi
dents message to congress, says: 1.-THE
message is vigorous and able docu
ment. Undoubtedly it means war
unless Spain agrees to make final terms
with the insurgents and to recall her
troops from Cuba.
The Times says: "The message is
not couched in harsh language, though
it leads up to a policy which involves
harsh judgment, although one justified
by the sentiment of the civilized world
on the treatment of Cuba"
The Daily Chronicle says: "Presi-
dent Mckinley has made many efforts
for peace, but this is greater than any
of them. His message calls halt by
throwing upon congress the entire and
solemn responsibility Of making war. "
The afternoon papers differ in their
estimates Of President McKinley's mes
sage to congress on the Cuban ques-
ton. The Pail Mall Gazette regards it
as strong, but temperate, and says:
President Mckinley is right in fol-
lowing the constitutional course of
throwing upon congress the RESPONSE
bility for national action, and there is
no doubt what congress answer will
be. In our opinion it is too late to
avoid war, as Spain is apparently de.
termined to fight a hopeless battle
rather than yield to demands which,
though expressed by America alone,
are in reality the demands of an in :
formal concert of the worlds oiviliza-
ton.
The St. James Gazette cornplains
that the message leaves everything in.
state of uncertainty, but says: "Pres-
ident Mckinley and congress may we'll
hesitate to accept the really serious re-.
sponsibility Of the recognition of bands
of brigands as government"
In conclusion, the st. James Gaze tie
remarks: eff the United States were
an European power, governed by a Pitt
or Bismarck, a;War Of conquest would
result, but it is doubtful if the United
States is prepared for that work.
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
presidents message "has made out an
excellent case for the intervention of
the United States" adding: CATER
all, the United States has large claims
for Intervention in all affairs in Amer.
lea. The Venezuela arbitration estab~
lished a far-reaching precedent.
