Rev. J. G. Cranberry preached his
emi-centennial sermon during the
late session of the Virginia Confer
ence at Portsmouth, Va. His first
pastorate, we are advised, was On the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, and that
the distinction, which he has since
attained in the church, was then
predicted of him. His career, in all
the years which he has spent in the
cause Of his Master, has not been
watched with more loving interest,
in all the charges which he has ever
had, than it has been by the people
whom he first served.

Spain will accept Americas offer
of S20,O00,000 for the Philippines.
The Spanish peace commissioners.
in the financial straits to which their
country has been reduced, cannot
afford to do otherwise. They either
take that or get nothing. The price
offered by us for their possessions
may be inadequate and the demand
made by us upon them may be IN
just, but with our views at present of
territorial expansion and our power
to enforce them, these things, of
course, are not to be taken into con-
sideration by them. 1t is with them
only another case, of having their
hand in the lions mouth and of get
ting it out as easy as they can. 1t is
gratifying to Spanish pride perhaps,
to be permitted to take part in max
ing the terms upon which the Philip
pines are to be surrendered to us, but
the Spaniards are not such dotards
as not to see, that really there is but
one party to the transaction and they
must yield to whatever demands we
choose to make upon them. Whether
the people of this country will en-
dorse the action OF their peace COM
missioners, or rather of the 'powers
that be" in Washington, which is
debating to them what they shall do,
remains to be seen. The judgment
of the average American, however,
in the matter we believe is, that
either the Philippines belong to us
without compensation or we are
playing the role of tyrant, with
show of justice, in our desire to get
into our possession what does not
belong to us In whatever view the
action of our government in the mat
ter is considered, it seems to be dis
creditable to us as Nation, and
should be repudiated by US.

Another Maine to be Built.

Philadelphia. Pa November IL
The fact that the Cramps are soon to
begin the construction OF q battle
ship to replace the Maine seems to
have been forgotten or ignored by
the greater proportion of those who
are interested in naval matters.
There will, however, be laid on the
blocks now being prepared at tie
great shipyard for its reception the
keel of u new Maine, a vessel vastly
superior in size, weight and armament
to her predecessor, and one that will
stand IN the foremost rank of battle
ships in the navies of the world.

1.-The conference of democrats OPP
posed to the reelection of Mr.. Mar
tin to the United States Senate will
be held here in week or two. There
will be good sized attendance. At
this meeting steps will be taken look
ing to having Gen. Lee withdraw. A
candidate will be picked out to OPP
pose Mr.. Martin. That person Will
be either Congressman Jones, Attor-
ney-General Montague, Gov. Tyler
or Hon. r. Walton Moore. The anti
Martin campaign is to be opened at
once and pushed vigorously"
Either of the four named is super
ior in ability to Mr.. Martin, is in
closer touch with the people and
would be better representative Of
their interests. Either of them ought
to be winner over Mr.. Martin and
will be if the people have their way
in the matter.

Merritt has not been abolished, and
none of the troops have yet moved to

may be that General Merriam considers
it not worth while for the regiment TO

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Sagasta Hopes That an Understand
ing May Be Arrived At.

LONDON, July 29.-A dispatch from
Madrid says: The Government does
not conceal that it hesitated for some
days to go beyond an official eXplana-
tion at Washington, because the dipio-
matte agents employed to make the
soundings gave conflicting accounts Of
President McKinley's disposition. One
represented him as eager TO terminate
the war on moderate conditions; the
other that the most onerous conditions
would be imposed so that the Madrid
Government thought it useless to sue
officially
When, however, it was seen that the
American war preparations continued,
Duke Almodovar de Rio, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was instructed to send
the note.
The Cabinet met Wednesday evening
to deliberate as to the best means and
channel Of negotiation Paris and
London were both discussed
Official feeling favors direct negoti-
ations without interference from out
siders, even with regard to the Philip
pines. There is little doubt that if
President McKinley's reply proves an
acceptable basis. the negotiations will
not be protracted.
After to-day's Cabinet council Senior
Sagasta. the Premier, said he had
grounds for hoping that an understand
ing might be arrived at, but he could
say nothing definite. The Cabinet coun-
Gil Will not meet again until Friday
evening. when President McKinley's re-
ply is expected.
