EXPECTS ANOTHER WAR.
E. BENJAMIN Says There VIII BE &
Great European Conflict In
the Neor Future.

the Near Future.
MADISON, WIS, July 26-E. Benjamin
Andrews, recently elected superintendent of
schools of Chicago, in his address before
the Monona Lake assembly. spoke on
European Politics" He predicted great
European war in the near future, into
which the United States would be dragged
If it did not go in Of its. own accord. He
described the strengthening Of the fortifi-
cations and preparations for war in every
country in Europe. .-
You may ask what force in Europe pre-
serves peace in Europe" he said. This
peace force is the money power, the great
financiers, whose interests are entirely op-
posed to war. There are large numbers OF
people, intelligent, thoughtful people, who
believe that a general war would kill off
enough of the 1aboring population to tenn
pcrarily solve the labor question. Those
who were left could be paid larger wages
and live on higher plane.
1T is interesting to consider which nation
of Europe would benefit most by general
European war. That nation undoubtedly
would be Great Britain. She has the navy.
the men and the money. England is far
better situated in financial ways for war
than any other European power.
THE present friendliness of Great Brit
ain toward the United States I believe to
be sincere, and not expressed for the pur-
pose of making capital out of us. We
should respond to this sentiment. Besides
the ties of blood. We would be wise to have
a powerful ally in case of friction with any
other European power.
I'VE shall probably be compelled to take
place in the settlement OF the Eastern
question. There are many people who in
sist that we shall keep up the role Of the
hermit nation; that We must keep alooi
from the world. In my judgment, there is
no choice before the American nation
Whether we wish to or not. We must take
| our place among the powers of the world
"The United States may be dragged into
| the company Of the powers by the heels. OIL
| take our place voluntarily, and call to the
world: Here is Jonathan. He is six feel
| two: he has come to stay; he wants to be
! counted; you must reckon with him."

HIGH WAR RATE.
Insurance on Sailing Vessels Ad-
vances Rapidly.

New York, April 2.-"War risks
reached yesterday the highest figure
yet quoted since complications with
Spain made shippers anxious about
property in transit by sea. American
sailing vessels to and from the east
coast of South America, early sailings,
were covered for three per cent. West
Indian sailing brought the same rate
These risks were taken the previous
day for two per cent. Vessels from the
south side of Cuba were quoted as high
as five per cent. Rates for sailings a
week hence were double those charged
for early movements. Steamships were
covered at lower rates, but underwrit-
ers were unusually cautious about
ssyar business"

The President May Not Submit
His Message Sooner.

Washington April "A prominent
member of the house who saw the pres
ident today, says the president in his
message will recommend action which
will be perfectly satisfactory to the Re
publicans and, with possibly few ex-
ceptions, will rally them and the coun-
try to his support. He says the diplo-
matte correspondence will be such that
the Republican party and country will
be proud of it, and further that the le-
gal facts in the case are very ably han
died by Attorney General Griggs. The
message probably will not be sent in
before Tuesday.
The Maine affair." it is said, will not
be touched on, probably. This is re-
garded as very unfortunate by many
prominent Republicans, who believe
that if we are to have war, the blowing
up of the Maine constitutes the strong
est ground.
AS a sample of the expressions that
are heard today the opinion of Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, one of the house
leaders, can be given: Il regard war
as inevitable as the future said he.

FRANCES OFFER.
She Makes Tender Of Her
Good Offices in the In
tereSt of Pc ICE.

Chicago, April "A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington, D. c.,
says:
The government of France has pro-
posed the aid of it's good offices in pre-
serving the peace and this offer has
been declined by the United States.
The tender by France came in a
cablegram from Ambassador Porter at
Paris and was replied to in long ca
blegram prepared at the state depart
ment.
In rendering her good offices to avert
a rupture France expressed none but
the most friendly sentiments toward
the United States and gave no intima-
ton of any other desire than one to
give disinterested assistance in carry
ing on negotiations which might lead to
the maintenance of peace To this the
state department replied with an ex-
planation of the situation and the po-
lite and friendly conclusion that the
good offices of France, under the exist
ing circumstances, would not be likely
to produce definite results.

100000 MEN
First Call For Troops May Be
Enormous,
If Gen. Grosvenor's Ideas Are
Carried Out.
A BIG SHOW OF POWER
At the Outset of the War,
Thinks GrOsvenOr,
Will Make 1t Short, Sharp aud
Decisive.

Washington, April 2.-Very few mem-
bers of congress who were seen early to-
day believe there is much hope of
averting war, and those who do base
their belief solely upon the theory that
Spain at the last minute will yield.
Most of them look upon war as a GER
tainty and already are discussing it's
probable duration, cost, etc.
General Grosvenor says that if war is
declared he is in favor of authorizing
the president to cal out 100000 men
and use as many as are necessary to
make the war short, sharp and decis-
i've. The ultra-conservatives are bas-
ing their opposition to Intervention on
the ground of Spain's recent revocation
of the reconcentrado decree and her
measures for feeding and otherwise re-
lieving their misery.
The only thing that seems to be es-
tablished definitely regarding the pres
ident's message to congress on Monday
or Tuesday, unless Spain backs down,
is that the president will not ask for
further delay. Whether he will make a
specific recommendation OF not seems
yet undetermined. He has said with
in a few days to prominent leaders of
his party that when he sent the case to
congress he would share with that body
the responsibility for whatever course
was decided upon. On the other hand
there is an intimation that the presi-
dent may wish congress sto assume the
initiative. IF he puts all the RESPONSE
bility on congress- said a Republican
representative, lit will sober that body,
perhaps"
The prevailing belief is that he will
make recommendation. There is
said to be an attempt on the part OF
certain conservative senators to pre-
vent any stronger action by congress
than-the recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence IN the hope that the negotia-
tions may then be reopened and war
averted. But the prevailing sentimenc
at this moment seems to be to go TAR
ther and enforce recognition by armed
intervention This was the position
taken by General Grosvenor of Ohio in
his speech last Thursday.
