There were 4,O25 artillery men all told
in the service. The guns emplaced July
L would require 1000 men regardless of
any eX1gency that might arise. Even
II no ex1gency arose, these men, he in
sisted, would be necessary to care for
the Notifications and guns upon which
we were expending millions of dollars.
The charge that this bill was an at
tempt to increase the standing army, to
be used possibly to Overawe the cities,
he said, he considered too frivolous to
discuss.
Mr.. Cox, in opposing the bill, said he
would vote as cheerfully as any man
in the house for this bill, if it were
needed for the national defenses asa war
measure, but he argued that the presi-
dent, as COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
army, had authority to detail men from
the other branches of the service, the
cavalry and infantry, and that such de-
tails could man and care for the coast
defenses without increasing permanent
ly the standing army.
Mr.. Belknap' CRep. I'D, a son of ex-
Secretary of War BeHSnap, and Mr.. Nc
Clellan Dem. N. W, a son of General
Mcclellan, both warmly advocated the
passage of the bill in brief speeches, and
Mr.. Hay Oem. Va.) created the first
open enthusiasm by declaring himself
in favor of taking every step necessary
now to prepare for the emergency which
confronts the country.
Mr.. Jones Dem. Va the other Dem
Ocrat who opposed the bill insisted that
the bill was not a war measure, as it
had been recommended for several
years.
Mr. Shafroth (Colo) caused a round
of applause when he explained his re-
greet that a single voice should be rails
ed against such a bill at such a time.
There was no denying the fact that our
foreign relations with Spain were on the
eve of a rupture. War ought to be
avoided if possible, but we ought to
prepare at once, he said, for every
emergency.
Mr. Williams Dem. Miss.) said that
while his voice was now as ever for
Spain was forcing US into war to extr1-
cate the reigning family from the des-
perate straits into which it was placed
by her futile attempts to subjugate
Cuba.
He had been for Cuban belligerency
and Cuban independence, and If war
was to come as a result of our sympa-
thy for those who were struggling for
their freedom, he would not refuse to
give his vote to any measure designed
to prepare US to meat the enemy.
The time for debate expired at this
time. and Mr.. Bailey, who had not
been able to get the floor, asked for
unanimous consent of three minutes.
Mr. Hepburn CRep. LAD objected.
Mr. Lewis Dem. Wn) attempted to
offer an amendment prohibiting the
use of these two regiments to suppress
strikes.

Bosom, March S.-A professional beg

being a vagrant and was sentenced TO
one years imprisonment at BridgeWater.

against him was J. Montgomery Sears

tiOns of business so far as railroad cor
porations are concerned have probably
changed for the better and that the
rates prescribed by the statute of 1898
may now afford all the compensation to
which the railroad companies in Ne
braSka are entitled as between them
and the public. In anticipatiOn,p perhaps
of such a change of circumstances the
circuit court wisely provided in it's final
decree that the defendants, members of
the board of transportation might when
the circumstances have changed so
that the rates fixed in the said act of
1893 shall yield to the said companies
reasonable compensation for the servi-
ces aforesaid, apply to the court by bill
or otherwise, as they might be advised,
for a further order in that behalf. OF
this provision of the final decree the
state board of transportation if so adj
vised can avail themselves.
In that event, if the circuit court
finds that the present condition of bust
ness is such as to admit the application
of the statute to the railway companies
in question without depriving them of
just compensation, it viii be its duty to
discharge the injunction heretofore
granted and to make whatever order is
necessary to remove any obstruction

the way of the enforcement of the stat

FRENCH BACKING
Will Be Forthcoming When Spain
Needs It.

New York, March 8.-A copyrighted
cablegram from London to the Evening
Post says:
Special inquiries in official and fnan-
cial circles today show that of the
many grave international difficulties
pending in China, Japan, West Africa,
the Nile and elsewhere, the most ser
tous view is taken of the American
Spanish tension.
At the United States and Spanish en-
bassies the utmost reticence, of course,
is observed. They pretend to know
nothing and it is noteworthy in view of
reports that the Armstrong; have sold
cruisers to Spain, that the Armstrong;
board has given express directions that
no questions are to be answered re-
garding their dealings with British or
foreign governments.
Varying conclusions are drawn from
this refusal to confirm the denial of this
Spanish purchase from the Armstrong;
What cannot be denied is that the
Armstrong; have had relations with
Spain since 1886, have built several
cruisers to SPANS order. and now have
vessels on stock that could be sold if
money were forthcoming
Is French money helping Spain? Two
of the first financial houses were asked
this question. Their replies may be
grouped thus:
Nothing of the kind has been defin-
itely arranged, and obviously seeing the
large French financial interests in
Spain, French financierS would be
most anxious to keep Spain from war;
but it is equally certain that if Spain
did decide that war, howeGer desperate,
was the only escaping from the growing
financial trouble at home, Paris, and
not London, would be the quarter
whence money would be sought, and,
beyond doubt, obtained. AS yet how
ever, nothing has been definitely set
tied.
The fact probably is that Spain is
anxious to buy ships and that the Arm
strongs are ready to sell if they can see
the money.
The French financiers are not eager
to advance the necessary money so
long as by holding back they can assist
the cause of peace. Armstrong cruisers
have the reputation in naval circles
here of being the best armed and pro-
tected cruisers in the world.

Another War Vessel to Go to
Havana HaPbOr.
The MOntgOmery's Crew is Call
ed Upon
70 TAKE ITS CHANCES
Of Being Blown Into Smither-
sens by Spaniards.
Case of the Spider and
the Fly.

Washington, March S.-The decision
of the navy department concerning the
sending Of ships to Cuba was made
known when the following brief state
ment was posted by the bureau of nav
igation:
Montgomery will relieve the Fern at
Havana. Fern will carry provisions to
Mantanzas and Sagua La Grande.''
This conclusion was reached after
conferences between the officials of the
state and navy department and is I'M
derstoOd to be such an adjustment as
will not lead to further objection by the
Spanish government.
The Fern is a dispatch boat without
heavy armament or guns, although she
belongs to the navy and is technically
a naval vessel. AS she comes as near
being a transport as anything in our
naval service, her selection will accord
with the Spanish suggestion that a
transport or merchant ship undertake
this carriage of relief supplies.
The sending of the Montgomery to
Havana is primarily intended to re-
place the Fern which is now at Ha-
vana- The Montgomery is an unarmor-
ed cruiser of 2,0S9 tons, with an arma-
ment of ten guns.
The plans of the navy department are
to have the Montgomery start for Ha-
Vana at once, in order that the Fern
may return to Key West in time to
take on the relief supplies, reaching
there next w Wednesday. 1t will be the
second visit of the Montgomery to Gu
ba, as she has only recently returned
from a trip to Santiago De Cuba and
Matanzas.
Capt. Crowninshield, chief of the bu-
reau of navigation, says that no time
has been fixed for the stay of the Mont
gOmery at Havana, as the only decis-
ion thus far reached is that she will re-
place the Fern there for the present.
The Montgomery will be the first
United States warship at Havana since
the Maine disaster.
Key West, March S-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press went on
board the cruiser Montgomery late last
night. The coaling had been stopped as
the men were too weary after packing
away tons of ammunition to perform
this additional labor.
A high officer on board said: mo we
do not mind going to Havana a bit
We shall be off in the morning unless
we get cOuntermanding order. These
changes have kept US on the jump and
we hardly know where we are. With
provisions and ammunition aboard
however, we are prepared to go any
where.
The coal lighters are still alongside
the Montgomery at midnight and it is
presumed that coaling will be resumed
at day break. The coal used for the
Montgomery was originally intended
for the New York
The Nashville will remain here There
are rumOrs that the Detroit and the
Marblehead will shortly join the fleet

OLD NAVAJO BLANKETS.
They Are Now So Rare as to Be Al
most Priceless.

Jefersonville, Ind, March S-Dr w. H.
Work of CharlestoWn, has returned from
a trip to Arizona and has brought back
with him several Navajo blankets, but, :"
he remarked sorrowfully, they are not
what they used to be. The Navajos are
too improvident and lazy to make such
blankets as they used to make in the
years gone by and before the white man
began to banker after that particular

The blankets now turned out are pitt
full and tawdry affairs compared with
those of bygOne times. Those of today
can be bought for about S30 while real
old fashioned blanket is really priceless
Gent blankets were half an inch thick and
would hold water well a wooden
tub. The finest of them are found buried
practically indestructible.
The women who weave the blankets of
today can make the old fashioned blan-
kets just as we'll for they know the
cret of manufacture, but the cheaper
blanket is easily sold and takes only a
short time to make, while it would take
nearly year to weave one of the real
blankets, those glorious combinations of
cOlorS and material, one of which would
easily be worth $500.
They have an exquisite color sense,

How are the blankets made? oh, the

Nicks staff.
of the two candidates for the third
corner of the Chicago diamond Bill Ev-
erett has the advantage over Barry Nc
Cormick as a batsman, and Barry can
make Bill look like a Jasper from Far
back as a fielder.
Chippy McGarr has strong indorsers
to his application for a position on IN
Gle Nick's staff of umpires. No more
popular player than Chippy ever enter
ed the major League, and popularity
with the players is half an umpires
battle.
Jim Mcclure and Sam Thompson are
two major League players who viii

Herman Long dipped their athletic
shapes in the heafth-giving waters at
Mount Clements early this winter.
The report that the stolen base rule
would remain unchanged proved a false
alarm, at Harris handicap on the base
runner was, after all, adopted. BY this
rule the purloiner of bases receives no
credit for his risk nor the slightest ben
eft of the doubt. And thus a handicap
has been placed on one of the prettiest
and braniest points of play in the
