STRONG PLEA FOR PEACE.
Other Means BE Exhausted
Before War.

Boston, Mass, April 3.-Episcopal Bishop
William Lawrence preached the sermon in
the Emanuel church to-day, and pleaded
for an honorable peace in our dealings
with other nations. He said:
THE time has passed for discussion as to
how the present troubles about Cuba arose
whether from unscrupulOus plantation own
ers and sugar importers. from low dema-
gogues in high places. or from a false and
vulgar form Of patriotism. Sympathy with
a people struggling as did our fathers for
freedom from tyranny had had its part
and profound sympathy for thousands OF
starving sufferers near our coast. What
ever the causes or the motives, the fact Is
that we stand to-day in danger of war.
IF war must come, let it come, but be-
fore 1t comes let US strain every nerve for
peace, as behooves Christian people. The
point Is not whether Cuba must be free
to-day or whether we intervene to-day, but
whether. by diplomacy, by conciliation, by
conference, by any means except war, the
object which this nation. in its sober judg-
ment and not in excitement, believes it
shall attain, can be attained by peace.
What boots a few days or weeks provided
this nation stands before the world and be-
fore God as having exhausted every means
for a peaceful settlement before resort to
arms?
LAS a people. 1t behooves US to allow no
runners OF war, no appeal to passion. no
cheap journalism or even tender sympathy
for suffering Cubans to paralyze our reas-
on. throw away our self-restraint or sweep
US Off our feet.
Let US do our part towards showing our
representatives in Washington that We ex-
pect them to use every effort for peace.
They have got to be trusted when 1t comes
to action, but they represent a people that
are. on the whole, self-restrained and low
ers of peace. AS men in responsible places.
1t becomes them to act with even more
self-restraint and quiet judgment than the
people. We thank God that he who stands
at the head Of the nation, the representa-
tive American. has shown himself to be
strcng, self-restrained, and lover Of
peace. He has had grave judgments to
make, and he has made them as If the
Prince Of Peace stood before him. He has
the facts and he can well be trusted by
congress and by the people in his own
time to act upon them.'

PRAISE FOR M'KINLEY.
PrincetOn's President CONNER nds Him
Highly for His Efforts to
Preserye Peace.

Princeton, n. J., April 3.-President Pat
ton conducted the preliminary devotional
exercises in the university chapel service
this morning and addressed the student
body present as follows:
I'VE must all feel that this is a day of
unspeakable solemnity, and as We meet
in the calm and quiet of this beautiful
Sabbath morning, We cannot help thinking
that 1t Is perhaps the calm before the
storm. There is possibility, indeed, a
probability. that our nation will be involv-
ed in war, and / wish to say to you that
war is not a thing to treat lightly or in
jest. War is horrible. 1t may be that the
cause of humanity will prove sufficient
justification in the present instance. but a
war undertaken by this Christian nation
at this period of the worlds history for
any but the best of reasons would be blot
on our civilization. There are, of course
wars which are waged in obedience to the
highest behests of humanity, and there
is no doubt that there are a great many
who favor war to-day under the influence
of these high motives. But, on the other
hand, there are a great many who believe
that the resources of diplomacy have not
yet been exhausted and that it is not ap-
parent that 1t is necessary to draw the
sword to secure all that can be reasonably
asked.
II am sure that am speaking for you
when say that the president of the United
States deserves the gratitude of the nation
for his manly course in these negotiations.
He has borne himself with quiet dignity
and his patient, calm judgment and un-
swerving desire for peace are worthy of
the highest praise and have won for him
the confidence of all calm, peace-loving
and sober-minded men. May God lay His
hand upon the feyerish pulse Of the nation
May the governments of these two ma
tions be not driven to undertake a war
that must not only threaten bankruptcy
and revolution and possibly worse calam-
ity to Spain. but be costly beyond express
sion in the sacrifice OF blood and treasure
to the American people"

proposed American flying squadron, while
the whole Spanish navy has not one and
only two 12-inch guns. OF Pinch guns our
squadron has four. and Of 8-inch guns. four
teen Spain's four selected vessels have
five u-inch guns and the rest are mainly
5-inch. These are the points of advantage
that Commodore Schley's fleet would like
to demonstrate in actual fighting.
Kansas City journal. [volume] (Kansas City, Mo.) 1897-1928, 1898-04-04

The total displacement tonnage of the
United States flying squadron is 49, 100, and
of the Spanish only 3o.9Oo. The average
horsepower Of the United States vessels is
1880 and that of the Spanish I1,75O. The
average rate of speed of the four United
States ships is 213t knots per hour, while the
Spanish fleet has to content itself with 10
knots. 1t is possible that the battleship
Massachusetts, being somewhat slower than
the rest of the fleet, will be supplanted in
the squadron by the New York, and the
average of speed and fighting capabilities
Of the squadron will be increased. 1t must
be remembered that the Brooklyn and New
York are two of the finest types of fight
Ing machines In the world, having their
main batteries supplied with rapid-fre guns,
with which very few warships are equipped,
except in a secondary battery.
The great point of advantage of this fleet.
however, is in thickness of armr, caliber

ST. Thomas, Danish West Indies, July
28-The steamer Roma, arrived here
from Ponce last evening. The Spanish
loss at Guanica on Monday was reported
by the officers of the vessel to be much
larger than first supposed.
All the Spanish forces in the vicinity
of Ponce, have retired within the city to
defend it against Gen. Miles. 1t is not
believed how ever that the Spanish force
will be able to hold the city.
An artillery force will be disposed in
the most advantage positions along the
proposed route to San Juan. The guns
are placed on hills 50 as to overlook the
road and the Spaniards will defend the
ground inch by inch. There are indi'
cations that there is some hard fighting
in store for Gen. Miles forces.

true that the poet is the microcosm of in

Healthy, happy children make better
men of us all. A little care and
little planning before birth is often
more important than anything that
can be done after. On the mothers health
and strength depend the life and the future
OF the children. A weak and sickly
woman cannot bear strong and healthy
children. Most of the weakness OF women
is utterly inexcusable. Proper care and
proper medicine will cure almost any dis
order of feminine organism. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has been tested in
thirty years of practice. 1t is healing,
