Chicago Journal: Only one nation in
the world can war with US and escape
destruction. That nation is Russia, and
Russia is not keen for that sort Of sport
at present. The lack Of wheat is doing
moro damage to Spain to-day than the
lack Of ammunition. You can hire thou
sands of men to so and face death from
q bullet, but no man will die of hunger
without displaying considerable pique.
Just at present you could get q whole
regiment of soldiers for q quarter of
Kansas wheat in Italy. That is one rea-
son among many, why the combine
ton OF European powers has done
nothing Of late, and why France hur-
ries to explain that she Is strictly neu-
trial" and why the German emperor has
reconsidered his naughty Intentions.
They are not quarreling with their
bread and butter.

THERE is more catarrh in this Sec
tion Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed o'be incurable.
For q great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t q local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh. to be constitutional
disease. and therefore requires constitu.
.tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.;
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It Is taken inter-
nally in doses from ten drops to tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system.

The Lopic q a Situation.

II It Is true, as seems to be the settled
conviction. that the Spanish Cape Verde
squadron Is bottled up in the harbor at
Santiago. 1t has lost Its usefulness until
It attempts. after being starved to des-
peration, to fight its way through the
blockade that can be maintained for an
Indefinite time by American warships.
The dispatches explain how the squad
ron can be rendered non-effective and
/ how Il will be so rendered, providing the
reports Of Its whereabouts are correct.
Whether the end comes in a few days
sor a few weeks the complete destruction
&of the fleet seems inevitable, unless cir
cumstances make surrender necessary.
In The meantime, with the Spanish fleet
lin a state OF siege, as It were, st will be
as helpless, SO far as its ability to do
service in preventing the invasion OF.
Cubais concerned. as II It were still at
the Cape Verde Islands.
In the absence OF direct Information,
owing to the cutting Of cable communi-
cations, this is. OF course, q theory, but
y providing the situation Is as reported, It
IS. a logical one.
The report Of the governments Inten-
ton to occupy Porto Rico. as well as
Cuba. with large army. and THE
meantime send a still larger force to the
Philippines than was at first contem-
plated partially explains, doubtless, the
4 additional call for troops. which will raise
The number in the land force to 2SO, 900
men, regulars and volunteers. The eff
( feet Of these preparations for an agrees
& siye campaign on the part OF the United
States cannot help having an effect, not
alone upon Spain, but on the European
Z powers in the direction Of a considera-
ton Of peace measures. !.
Notwithstanding the quiet that pre-
walls the feeling is daily growing
I stronger in Europe that the Spanish
Z cause is utterly hopeless. and efforts to-
4 ward bringing Spain to realization OF
her position In the hope Of saving some
thing from the wreck are more than
n ever likely to be resumed. 1t is useless
i TO speculate concerning the possibilities
d that are occurring or may occur at any
z moment. 1t is sufficient to know that
4 the situation, 50 far as the United
States is concerned, Is Of an encouraging
nature IS * ,-.,ts -y y

The unorganlzed but effective move
ment for the boycott Of French goods
In retaliation for the attitude of France
against the United States in the war Is
spreading over the country. France is
nlready beginning to feel the effects. In
the meantime. the sensible suggestion Is
made that, while The boycott may ap-
pear childish way OF resentlng the
feeling expressed by the French press
and people. 1t can be turned to good ad-
vantage by the people who have been
buying French goods, not to merely stop
buying them until the war Is over, but
to buy American goods OF similar quail
ity, and thereby encourage American
ingenuity to meet the demand and to
continue odo so after peace is restored.

ROYAL BLUE TRAINS.

In September last, railway officials
from London were sent to America, to
get IDEAS on the railway passenger
service of the leading lines in this
country, and in their official report,
which was printed in the London
Times in January, it was stated that
the "Royal Blue Line" series of mag
nlhcent passenger trains, running be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington, lead the world.
for quick and exquisite train service.
The Royal Blue Line" service con-
sists OF nine elegant passenger trains
day in each direction between the
cities named above. They are the
finest and fastest trains in the world.
Their equipmentwas built especially
for the service by the Pullman Com
pany, and includes every modern con-
venience known for the comfort of
passengers. The trains are vestibuled
from end to end, and hauled by the
strongest and fastest locomotives in
the United States.
The exquisite day coaches of these
trains are worthy of special note.
They are beautifully upholstered,
each containing a washroom and
smoking compartment.
The parlor cars are the most pala-
tial ever built, being fully seventy
three feet long. In addition to this
service, three new parlor cars were
added in April, and are the first of
this kind ever run; they are richly up
holStered and Ornamented throughout
in most beautiful designs. A ladies'
retiring-room is provided in one end
of the car. This room, which is six
feet square, is furnished with beauti-
full dresser with large mirror and a
number of drawers. On each side of
it are upholstered corner seats. In an
other corner is bookcase and station
ary washstand. The room was de-
signed for especial comfort of ladies,
who have always claimed men had the
best of it when travelling. The usual
smoking apartment, however, is at the
opposite end of the car.
The dining cars are operated by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
! and especial attention is given to the
menu. Every delicacy is served in
season, and the service is unsurpassed.
In addition to the already perfect
service of "Royal Blue Trains" men.
toned above, there will be put into
service May IS "Royal Limited
train, which will leave New York at I oc
P. NJ, making the run to Washington
in FIVE hours. Returning, the 'Roy
al Limited will leave Washington al
! 800 P. NJ, arriving New York at SIC
Nj. The "Royal Blue Line" will
then boast of three trains which make
this extraordinary fast time between
Washington and New York, which
has never been attained by any othel
line The Royal Blue Trains be
tween Baltimore and Washington
make the run in FORTY-FIVE MIN

attained between the two cities.
