There never has been but one easily de-
fensible ground for the intervention Of the
United States inCuba and that is to stop the
human slaughter that has been going on
there. On that ground strong argument
could be made for armed interference SO
long as it could be shown that that was
the only, or at least, the lbest method OF
stopping it. If the Spaniards should re-
fuse us permission to send supplies to the
island and our agents to distribute them,
if they should refuse to take measures that
will put the suffering people in the
way of obtaining a livelihood in the fu-
ture, that is If they should refuse tn allow
them to go back to their farms and homes,
then we should have substantial grounds
for eoercing them by force If need be- But
at the present time they promise to do or
let US do all these things. First and fore
most 1t might be we'll to test these promises.
gf they are promises only made to be broken
we shall soon find it out, and then we may
resort to force with good conscience and
with the sympathy of the whole civilized
world.

A despatch from London to the Asso-
ciated Press, published elsewhere, affords
some evidence which very strongly cor
roborates the finding of the Board of In
quiry that the Maine was blown up by a
submarine mine, and tends also to show
that the mine was placed in Havana har-
Dor by the Spaniards. 1t seems to be
conclusively proved that they bought
mines in London in 1888. and again
in 1896, and at the time of purchase it
WAS represented by Spanish agents that
some of them were intended for Havana
harbor. The Spanish government has re-
peatedly denied that it ever mined Ha-
vana harbor, but this discovery in Lon
don while not conclusiyely proving that
it falsified in making this denial, does
when coupled with the finding Of the
Board of Inquiry create very strong sus-
picion that such was the case, and bring
the responsibility for the disaster nearer
the Spanish government than it had been
brought before. This discovery will not
tend to calm Congress, when it comes to
discuss this question day or two hence.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

With the robins and the mayfowers
come the books for summer reading, and
they are chiefly in harmony with the sun
shine and the warmth of days at the sea-
shore and In the country, where one
swings in a hammock, dreams. dozes or
idly turns the pleasant pages OF a volume
which is agreeable, not too heavy. and
chimes in with the hour and the time.
Not "ware or rumors of wars" hinder
the publishers at this season, and one
finds rather unusually attractive lists OF
new books waiting to be read when the
New England "spring cleaning" is
over and leisure settles down upon us.
Messrs. Houghton & Mifiin have some
interesting volumes which are sure to
find many readers. Even the second Sc
ries of the ''Letters Ct Victor Hugo"
which that house has just issued, have
an airy French lightness about them
which is cool and refreshing. 1t is odd
that little of the strength, intensity and
passion of Victor Hugo's' novels and
poems are to be found III his correspon-
dence The letters rather are expressions
of sentimental sentiment, of fattery, of
affection even to the extent of protest
ing too much" He assures George Sand
that he Gloves" her. or, more than that,
he is g in love- with her, that he "bows
down to her great genius" and ''kisses
her charming hands" He is always
adoring, admiring and loving his CORE
spon6ents-or he is heart broken for his
own, or bowed down with pity for their
misfortunss. I have not read in many a
day such constant and continual express
sion of floods of emotion, when some
thing less than a torrent would have
seeInd to answer the purpose. One would
really prefer to know a little more of
what was working in his active and pow.
erful brain, than to be drenched, as it
were, by showers of sentiment and tears.
Moreover to me all this in Victor Hugo
case does not ring quite true, and when
he poses altogether as a (second) imam of
feeling" we wish he would resume the
more dlgnified attitude of which he WAS
quite capable.
Nevertheless the letters are interesting,
and one would not be without them. His
love for his children and his devotion to
them appeals to us,-and yet in the case

wAGEEARNERs AND WAR.

A miserable effort is making in some
quarters to excite popular sentiment for
war by pointing out that the bankers and
the money kings" are trying to make
their influence felt for peace, and, we re-
greet to say, it is meeting with some sue
CO 8. Il relies upon the popular prejudice
against the so-called money kings and the
notion which was cultivated so assidu-
oously in tho last national campaign
that it has become almost a settled con-
viction in the minds of a vast number OF
people, that there is such antagonism OF
interest between the rich few and the
many than the fact that the money kings
favor a policy is conclusive proof that 1t la
prejudiced to the interests of the masses.
A year ago the bankers were advocating
gold basis, therefore the multitude
should advocate free silver. Today they
are advocating peace therefore the multi
tude should shout for war
We do not think war is good for any
body, but if there is any classes in the
community that are likely to profit by it
they are the bankers and spectators and
money kings They are the people who
profited by the war of the rebellion, and
we have not yet got over denoupcing
them for the big sums of money they
made out of the governments necessities.
From what Wa have heard about them
when currency questions have been under
discussion we should expect them to be
shouting for war in order to get new
opportunity to milk the government
They certainly can make more in dollars
and cents out of war than anybody else.
The people who really have the strongest
reasons for wanting war averted are for
the most part those who have beeniled to
look upon it with favor because the
money kings were opposed to it. The cost
of war both in treasure and in blood falls
chiefly upon the masses. War means
higher duties en- the necessaries of life,
and hence higher cost of living. During
the war of the rebellion prices Of many
necessaries doubled, while wages were in
creased comparatively little. War brings
no particular hardship to the money king.
The rise of prices does not materially affect
him. But the man of small capital and
the laboring man are hard hit They have
to make the real sacrifices and they are
the ones who have reason Ito be particu-
larly careful that the nation be not
plunged into war without good cause.

deal. both recognition and Intervention
will be adopted. There were few signs
yesterday that the peace sentiments
which Boards of Trade and various other
bodies have been giving expression to-,
had made any considerable impression
upon the members Of either House. This
situation is still critical, and though
war may not be inevitable, the probabili-
ties are still strongly IN that direction.
Statements of the position that the
President will take in his message are
SO contradictory as to suggest that all
of them are based largely on conjecture
and are of little value.

The chances are that the controlling
majority in Congress can be prevailed
upon to defer action until the President S
message is sent in, If he does not delay
beyond Wednesday, but there were signs
of restiveness in the House yesterday
that indicated that no long delay will
be tolerated. What action Congress will
take depends perhaps somewhat upon
the character of the Presidents message
If he recommends recognition of the
independence of Cuba and armed inter-
vention, Congress will not hes itale Il

The Virginius matter which nearly
precipitated a war between this country
and Spain twenty-five years ago has
largely faded out of the public mind.
But We appeared to be quite as near war
then as we are now. The Spanish govern
ment then absolutely refused to aocede
to our demands. Gen. SickIes, who was
then our minister at Madrid, had asked
for his passports and was about to leave
the Spanish Capital, when the Spanish
ministry suddenly reconsidered its de-
cision and granted every one of our de-
mands. 1t is by no means impossible
now that when Sagasta is thoroughly
convinced that war is the only alterna-
tive he will beat as hasty retreat as his
predecessors did in the Virginius affair.

DIR. Klopsch, proprietor Of the Christian
Herald of New York, head of the Cuban
relief fund, is just back from Cuba and
points out that the best, and in short
the only, way to promote the interests OF
humanity in the island is to make an
appropriation for the starving yeconcen-
trados and distribute food and clothing
among them. He says that armed inter.
yention in Cuba now would mean the
death of all the reconcentrados. Further
more he reports that Gen. Gomez, him
sslf, does not want armed intervention by
the United States at this time.

Abdul Hamid Prepares for Emperor
Williams Visit.

BERLIN. Sept. 1.-THE approaching
visit of Emperor William to Turky is
now arousing considerable interest. The
sultan is max ing extraordinary efforts to
please the emperor during the latter's
stay at Constantinople. The palace in
teded for his reception is being fitted up
with laxury. Emperor VILLAIN will stay
about II days at Constantinople.
The Turkish troops 1t is asserted, are
somewhat dissatisfied on the subject, as
their arrears of pay have been devoted
to the expense OF Emperor William 8
visit.
The preparations at Jerusalem for the
visit of Emperor William are in full
swing. Streets are being cut through the
city, and the regular mountains of rub
bish in the bazaar quater have been re-
moved. The garrison has been especily
active in drilling, in order to impress
the emperor, though many of the SOL
diers are baefooted and wear no uni
forms. These soldiers, however, are to
receive new uniforms for the festivities
organized in honor of the visit of EN-
peror William to the Holy Land.

Chicago Wool Notes.

No concessions are being made in wool
values by merchants here. Several rep
resentatives of large wool corporations
were examining stocks of wool during
the week. A line of fine and half-blood
staple was disposed of, terms P. L. If
holders of wool had been willing to
make slight concessions, some large
blocks of the staple could have been
easily moved, but merchants who have
canvassed the situation carefully do not
feel like meeting buyers views at this
time. They cannot offer this years clip
at prices that old woods have been sold
at, in Eastern markets recently; so the
blockade between dealer and merchant
still continues. Holders at local points
are still firm in their views, which
places wool held in the several markets
in strong position, for no woods sold
at today's quotations can be replaced.
A strong feature in the present con-
dition of wool, is the cold wave that has
become general throughout the country,
causing a change from light to heavier
wearing apparel. This factor will GER
tainly increase the demand for goods
and will no doubt assist in bringing to-
gether manufacturer aud merchant.
When the change for the better comes,
it will materialize quickly, and the di-
lemma i'll which the wool trade finds
| itself today will be overcome by healthy
demand for raw material.
The London auction sales, which open
on the 10th inst, where about 5000, 900
to 10000. .OUO pounds of wool will be
offered, is looked forward to as the turn
ing point in values tor the prediction of
an advance in prices at the coming
series is general abroad, where great
strength in prices etill predominate.

HER LAST
RESTING PLACE
Funeral of the Murdered Empress of
Austria.

VIENNA, Sept. 17.-Emperor Francis
Joseph this morning received the special
representatives of the foreign sovereigns.
An hour later he received the visiting
sovereigns, with the exception of the
king of Saxony.
The emperor, Prince Hohenlohe, the
German imperial chancellor, and Baron
Won Buelow, received Emperor William
at the railroad station. The emperors
shook hands and kissed each others
cheeks three times. They then pro-
ceeded to the church where Emperor
William, in behalf of himself and the
empress of Germany, deposited on the
casket containing the remains of the late
empress a floral wreath which his
majesty had brought from Germany.
The emperor dined at the German en-
bassy after the funeral, and started for
Berlin this evening.
Great torches threw glaring flames
over the royal chapel in which the re-
mains of the late empress have lain in
state since yesterday morning. The
doors of the chapel were closed at noon,
thus barring thousands of people who
were anxious to see the casket.
At O'Clock tolling of bells announced
the starting of the procession. The
route from Hofburg to the insignificant
church of Capuchins, whose vaults en-
tomb the Hapsburgs, is so short that
only small proportion of the populace
was able to crowd into the adjoining
streets. A detachment of cavalry led
the procession. Then came carriages
drawn by elk horses, covered with
funeral trappIngs, escorted by footmen.
A train of servants followed, and then
came footguards and squadron of horse
guards, followed by a detachment of
yeomen, gorgeously uniformed, preced-
ing the funeral car. Following the car
were several bodies of infantry and cav
airy.
