sympathy With Spain

LONDON, April 2S.-The English
newspapers continue 10 publish Letters
in which the writes express sympathy
with Spain. A dispatch to the Stand
ard from Montreal says: "There is n
strong undercurrent of sympathy hero
with Spain. The Canadians anticipate
with satisfaction the ultimate triumph
of the United States but they would
not be displeased if that self-conGdeut
power received severe lesson in the
early stages of the operations.

turn to Washington to-day. He goes
in obedience to q telegram received last
night from the Secretary of War. Miss
Cisneros, who has been a guest at the
Lee home for two weeks, will return to
Washington with Gen Lee. There are
good reasons for believing that General
Lees name will be sent to the Senate
along with the list Of major generals OF
volunteers provided for under the bill
just passed by Congress. With refer
ence to the report that the army Off
GERS are antagoDiziDg Gen. Lees ap-
pointment, it is said that some of those
high in authority have expressed a
hope that he will be appointed. There
will be great and very general disap-
pointment if he is not.
The Richmond Dispatch of o.day
says: Gen. Fiizhugh Lee will leave
Richmond this morning for Washing
ton. He goes there by order of the
Secretary of War to confer with him
concerning the mobilization of the vol.
unteer forces OF the United States, and,
it is generally believed, to receive his
commission as major-general. General
Lee is certainly going back to Cuba to
fight, if the war is continued and his
health does not fail him.

THU asDAY EVENING, APRIL IS, 1898

IT'S understood that the democrats
of the Petersburg district, in order to
show their respect for and sympathy
with Mr.. Epea, whom they elected to
Congress, but who was deprived OF MS
seat by the republican majority in that
body, will renominate and re-slect him.
This is no more than they should do. MT
Epes made an excellent representative;
but, even if he hadn't, the unjust and IL
legal treatment he received from the
partisan republican majority IN the
House, imposes upon mis- own party 10
his own district the necessity OF re-
electiug him. And what is true OF Mr.
Epes is equally true OF Mr.. Young OF
the Norfolk district, who has also been
uniustly deprived of his seat.

IT Is much to be desired that in these
days of alleged good feeling and disin-
terested and unsectional patriotism
the chief burden of the expenses Of the
present war may not be put upon the
shoulders of the poor, and especially Of
the poor of the already impoverished
S1uth. The expense referred to will
be great indeed, but it can be paid with
out being oppressive, if the republican
Congress and the republican President
will only lay the taxes required to
meet it, upon those to whom the pay
ment of such taxes will be no burden
at ell. Surely the poor people OF tie
country cannot be profted by the war.

offered a check for $500 left with him
by Mr.. Hilger as a contribution to
the campaign fund, and that the del
egates unanimously agreed to accept
it, but not to reconsider their action
on his candidacy.
Mr.. Hilger's friends well know, and
he also should, that his party will
gladly take his money, as they have
in the past, but will not overlook an
opportunity to turn him down. His
candidacy for the state senate will be
bitterly opposed by many, but should
he be successful in securing the nomi-
nation he will get such a "knifing' as
no candidate for office in this county
has ever received. Some kind friend
should have notified Mr.. Hilger by
wire-he is in Omaha-and had him
pull the string on the check before
the bank opened. 1t would have
served the ''iobbers" just right.

teemen spoke gleefully of the turn
ing down" given Mr.. Hilger and said
they were going to turn him over to

Democrats Select Delegates.

Saturday evening the Democratic
central committee of this county met
i'm session, some nineteen delegates
being present. The meeting was har-
monious, we presume-at least the
sheriff was not called upon to pre-
serve order.
Having assumed the defensive and
the Republicans taken the initiative
i'm calling their county conventiOnf for
the 18th inst, the Democrats selected
Sept. q as the date for their conven-
ton, the primaries to be held on the
9th. The apportionment fixed was
that of one delegate from each pre-
cinct and in addition one delegatefor
each 20 votes, or fraction of over 30
per cent thereof, cast for Martin Ma
ginnis, presidential elector, at the
last election. No provision was
made for fusion convention, al
though it was decided to ask all to
join them who deemed they could do
SO without injuring their reputation.
The convention having been set for
later date than the state conven-
ton, delegates to the latter were Sc
lected and the following werechosen:
W. +. Cort, Matt Regan, w. ID. Dea-
ton, l.. p. Slater, Eugene Lewright,
David Scott, t. j. Johns, j. 1. Corbly,
Z. G. Abbott, j. Nj. Parent, Abram
Hogeland and James Weaver.
Chairman Blackford says thatfrom
nine to ten of these will surely attend.
No resolutions on the subject OF fu-
sion were adopted and the delegation
goes uninstructed, though from it's
makeup the anti-fusionists are
thought to have secured a bare ma
jority.
1t will be noted that the name Of
David Hilger is not included in the
list of delegates, though it is well
known that he has been looked upon
as the representative in this county
of the state administration and de-
sired to head the delegation to the
state convention.
In this connection it is common re-
port in Lewistown, and the story
was given currency by one of those
selected as delegates, that David Hill
ger was nominated for delegate and
his desire for election made known,
but that he was defeated by ma
jority of three to one and E. {. Abb
bott chosen. The story further in
cludes the statement that after the

ARMY REMAIN
Philippine Army Will Be
Kept Intact For One
Year.
Montana Regiment Likely to be
Detained During Their Full
Two Years Of Service.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Mon
tana boys reached Manila bay just
in time to form part of the army of
occupation of $1,000 men that will
hold the Philippine archipelago for
the United States. Their stay will
certainly be long one; let all friends
hope also that it will be a pleasant
one. The president has this week
definitely decided two things relating
to Merritt's army. 1t will neither be
increased nor diminished, unless
conditions in the islands radically
change. There is a settled convic-
tion on the part of the administra-
tration that there are plenty of men
to do the work in the Philippines,
and there is plenty of work for them
to do. According to present indica-
tions the Montana boys may stay a
year or more in the Philippines.
This is rather more than they
bargained for when they enlisted to
sweep the dons off the new world.
But they have reason to congratu-
late themselves that they are i'm the
Philippines instead OF the Antilles.
1t is quite likely that they may
yet see active service there, and-if
there is great European war-it
will begin and be largely fought in
the Philippines. The work of the
troops to be detained in Cuba and
Porto Rico is purely garrison duty.
There are many chances that the
soldiers with Merritt may see some
| brisker business.
The health of the Philippine army
of occupation appears to be excel
lent. While skaters daily cable re-
port is heavy with the news of the
dead General Merritt has had to re-
port very few victims of disease
| Therefore the friends at home need
worry very little about the welfare
| of the absent heroes.
At the war department no positive
predictions are made as to the dura-
tion of the service of the Philippine
volunteers, but all those best quail.

SDOnnfng Dress Material.

A new thing in dress material prep
aration is said to be one of the most
pronounced successes of the season.
The material is sponged so that it will
neither shrink nor spot. Two pieces of
material exactly alike can be taken,
of which one will be treated with the
preparation, and the other left un-
touched or sponged in the usual way.
Both will then be sprinkled with water.
The prepared material will dry fiat
and smooth as when new, while the
other spots and krinkles up. Serges
often shrink from wet; face cloths.
and even covert cloths, will spot, and
alpaca is an almost impossible wet
weather fabric. When treated to the
new finish they are said to be not only
rain proof, but softer and sillder than
ever. For cycling and seaside wear
the new process is earning golden en-
comiums, and women are said to be
blessing the inventor of it.-St. Louis
