March receipts Of the treasury depart
ment under the Dingley law indicate an i'm
provement over those Of February, or pre-
ceding months, and but for the excessive
expenditures made in preparation for war,
would be such as to show comfortable
surplus for the month. The fact that the
expenditures are for the month, on account
of the navy department, double the average
monthly expenditures for the department
during the last three or four years and that
the war department expenditures are also
heavier than usual, explains Why the March
earnings do not exceed the March expendi-
lures by the sum expected before the war
appropriation was made and the expendi-
lures begun, The earnings under the new
law, which, of course, was not framed with
the expectation of supplying war revenue,
are keeping we'll up, even in the face of the
depression OF commerce and importations
consequent upon war runners.

Once more it is in order to rise and
remark that this is great country. We
are feeding ourselves and millions of
Europeans. We are undertaking Eng
lish manufacturers of steel and can send
American tinware to Wales. For sever

added despair to British, German and
French makers of wheels, and we sent
abroad in 1897 horses and mules valued

Secretary Wilson believes the market
abroad for American corn can be greatly
widened. He says 1t is surprising how little
Europeans know about this great staple and
how they insist on considering it suitable
only for stock feed They know nothing
about the dozen and one toothsome dishes
which can be prepared from it by an Amer
lean cook, and so long as they are left alone
they will never learn. Secretary Wilson
hopes to educate them. He has requested
Congress to allow him sufficient appropr-
alton to make an extensive exhibit of corn
and its products at the great Paris EXPOSE
ton, where all Europe will assemble, and to
there demonstrate I'm thoroughly practical
way, even down to the baking of mullins,
the value of American corn as table diet.
Mr.. Wilson says that mistake has been
made in the past In attempting to induce the
poorest classes, who live on only one article
of diet, to substitute corn meal for wheat
or rye -four. They are unable to have more
than one staple article on their tables, and
corn of itself does not possess enough muscle
making constituents to displace flour. He
looks for its introduction rather among a
class able to afford more than this single
diet, who will appreciate its sweetness and
whoiesomeness and its low cost

The Transfer of Industry to tho United
States Helps the Whole Country.
Silk manufacture was practically an
unknown art in the United States until
the Morrill, tariff went into effect and
the immediate result of that act was to
build up the great silk manufacturing
industry at Paterson and elsewhere. The
Wilson tariff injured American manu-
facturers by opening the field to foreign
competition, but it opened the eyes OF
the foreign manufacturers to the great
possibilities of profit in the American
market and rather than relinguish the
gains they have made they are willing
to invest their capital here and to give
employment to American instead OF
French artisans.
South Bethlehem will profit by their
determination, and the whole commu-
nifty will share in the increased pros
perity of South Bethlehem. The trans
fer of every industry of this kind to the
United States is benefit to the whole
country. 1t means that all the money
spent in wages material and the other
items included in the cost Of production
will be distributed here and will 60 to
stimulate activity in other branches Of
industry instead Of being spent in for
eign cities. brooklyn Times.

Madrid, April ST. a. m.-From source
that is unofficial but trustworthy, it is
learned that the cabinet council tonight dis
cussed Senior Polo be BeInabes telegram
saying that the European representatives in
Washington had delivered collective note to
President Mckinley, the probable result of
which would be pacific solution. The in
itiative Of the note is supposed to have
come from France and Russia.
The Spanish cabinet saw an apparent
connection between the note of the powers,
the papal nuncio's action and Cardinal
Rampolla's confidential telegram late last
evening, and thereupon decided to send an
official reply to his holmes, supplementing
the previous complimentary reply.
1t is believed here how that the powers
note explains the fact of President Nc.
Klnley's postponement of his message until
Monday, rather than the preteXt given out
to enable Americans to withdraw from
Cuba prior to hostiities. This seems to
bear out the information sent to the Asso-
cated Press as to the tenor of the Heraldo's
leading article prior to its issue tonight.

The despisable stories purposely set
afloat to ipjure Mr.. Halls candidacy-and
which sled to his loss of the labor vote
have received as they deserve to, the con-
domination of every fair minded man in the
city. There is absolutely no excuse or ex'
tenuatlon for such political methods, and
the party, or its managers, resOrting to
methods of this kind does not deserve the
support of anyone. Mr.. Hall is so well
known that his reputation as citizen or a
fair business man cannot be injured by
campaign mud. The laboring men have
no better friend in the city than w. +.
Hall. His dealings with them for the past
eight years prove this true. He has en-
joyed their confidence and esteem to a
marked degree. That the wage earners, in
view of their past business relations with
Hall, should have been led to cast the votes
that defeated HIM for mayor, is one of the
unexplainable mysteries of politics.

The rapid growth of the protection senti-
ment in the South is illustrated by letter
received from Virginia dem ocrat publish
ed in the New York Sun, in which he de-
clares that the Wilson law was an aggrega-
ton of iniquties, and that the only objec-
ton to the Dlngley law is that it does not
20 far enough in the interests of protection.

any doubt as to the purpose of this gov
ernmenT with respect to the situation in
Cuba. War in the opinion of the admins
tratlon is inevitable except in the unlock
ed for event of a surrender on the part OF
Spain.
The presidents message which he had
intended to send to congress yesterday
has not been changed in any particular
and embodies the unanimous views Of the
cabinet without the slightest variance OF
exception.
Any movement TO avert war now must
come from Madrid and must cOncede meri-
cas- demands, including an end to SPANS
domination in Cuba.
Three features stand out plainly in the
Developments of to-day. At noon the six
great powers of Europe through their repre-
sentative here, called at the White house and
presented to President Mckinley joint
note expressing urgent hope for peaceful
adjustment between the United States and
Spain, to which the president replied with
unmistakable plainness as to the duty and
the unselfish endeavors of this government
to terminate the insufferable conditions in
Cuba.
Another and probably the most significant
actual step showing the tinality reached by
the United States government was the au-
thoritative statement that Consul General
Lee would leave Havana on Saturday. This
step, it is known, will be regarded by Spain
as akin to an overt act preceding war, as 1t
will terminate the medium of official inter-
course between the United States and the
island.
1t was pointed out at the navy depart
ment today that an advantage will accrue
to the United States by short postpone
ment of radical action since it will assure
the safety of recently purchased wars hips,
the delivery of ordnance material now afloat
and the departure from what would be neu-
trail potts of several other vessels recently
acquired for the navy. The New Orleaps
and her convoy, the San Francisco, are ex-
pected to reach New York Saturday or Sun
day next. They are proceeding leisurely
and 1t has been calculated that 1t would take
them about IA days to make the trip. 1t is
understood that they carry valuable cargoes
including ammunition and general ordnance
stores. Consequently the naval officials
will be relieved when they arrive at their
destination.
1t is also expected that the cruiser Topeka,
formerly the Diogenes and the torpedo
boats Somers and Manly, recently acquired
by purchase In Europe aud at English ports
at last accounts, will have cleared for the
United States before Monday next and Sc
have put themselves out of the danger Of
detention in case of declaration OF war.
