Naturally, every victory our
arms achieve starts a fresh crop
of peace rumors and more inter-
vention talk. We believe it the
purpose of our government to
listen to no indefinite peace pros
positions; to grant no armistic
to Spain; to pay no attention to
any intermeddler, if any there
might be. We want a definite
request from Spain, and from no
other power, and it must not be
loaded with conditions, of any
kind.

Will Charter German Ships.

Washington, D. c., July I5.-
General Greedy hopes soon to
have a direct signal line work
ing into Santiago by the ex~
tension of the land line from
Playe, as sooH as the city is
actually occupied by the Ameri-
cans.
Admiral Dewey has recon~
mended to the Government that

squadron i'll the battle of Man,
LA, who rendered signal service
on that occasion, should be
entitled to citizenship in the
country, they served SO we'll, Or
else be recognized by the Govern
ment in some other substantial
way.
1t is believed that the Governs
ment will make contracts with
the German ships at Caney for
carrying the Spanish prisoners
to Spain. This will be done be.
c2use the German ships are
rutral and for the good effect it
might have on Germany, in view
Of the delicate situation i'll the
Philippines, which have shown
rather all ugly disposition. The
German ships are probably
more expensive than would be
ships chartered in open market,
but the investment would be
good policy.

THE PRIME NECESSITY.

New York Sun.
The motion of Senator Lodge yes
terday to attach the NeWlands resolu-
ton to the war revenue bill puts the
two foremost war measures on the
same plane of urgency. In fact, if
our immediate military and naval in
terests can afford to wait for either
it is for the revenue bill rather than
for the annexation Of Hawaii. The
acquisition and absolute control of
this all important station on the way
to Manila is now a main factor in the
successful prosecution Of the govern
ments war programme The country
could go on a little while longer, if
necessary, without the provision Of adj
ditional income. The possession of
Hawaii has suddenly become indis-
pensable to the nation. Nothing at
this time is more urgent.
There was a time when the argu-
ment Of opposition to Hawaiian an
nexation were entitled to respectful at
tention. A month has changed the
conditions, finally and forever. The
mill cannot grind with the water that
is past

its members are not filing many high
positions, they are to be found at the
humblest but no less honorable places
of danger, as events testify. The man
who fired the first shot in the conflict
was an Irishman. William O'keefe,
seaman on the Baltimore, was one OF
the eight men wounded at Manila.
John Denief a fireman, born in Kill
kenny, was one Of the five sailors
killed, and Daniel W. McKeown, quar-
tarmaster, native of Newry, was enc

few who escaped unhurt. Michael
Murphy, a seaman on the New York,
was enc of the seven men injured dur
ing the bonn bardment Of San Juan,
Porto Rico. John Reagan, seaman
on the Nashville, was one Of the two
sailors who persisted while cutting the
cable at Cienfuegos, and John Doran,
of Fall River, Mass, was one OF the
six wounded 1t will be seen from the
above facts that men with Irish names
form a large proportion OF the killed
and injured in the war. The list IS
one of which their race should be
proud. t

member that the greenDack may be re-

that the farmer and laboring man
sometimes have a little silver but
never have been known to have any
geld I confess that it is not entirely
clear how the consideration of this bill
can be a proper subject for harvest
picnic or a Labor Day parade. You
also carelessly observe in your circular
that the banks, under the provisions OF
this bill, have privileges which ought
to overcome any COLLECTIONS they may
have to it. This seems to me to be a
fair conclusion from the provisions Of
the bill. Under it the banks will be
permitted TO issue noes upon their
bond deposits to the full par value Of
tie bonds instead of the ninety per
cent under the existing law; they are
permitted to issue money upon their
commercial assets; they are authorized
to assume one of the functions Of the
United States government, so it seems
fair to conclude that you are entirely
right in your apparently careless state
ments. 1t is difficult to conceive of
anything more which you would be
able to offer. to the National banks in

A BIG PITTSRIRG FIRE.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 29.-Henderson
& Johnson's warehouse and contents
on the South Side, were entirely de-
stroyed by fire shortly before three
o'clock this morning, involving loss
of about $150,000, partially covered by
insurance The origin of the fire is
unknown. The building, which was
a four story brick, was located on Car
son street, about square east OF the
Lake Erie depot. 1t was filed with
hay, grain, vinegar and river supplies
and was used as a warehouse and
storage house. An addition to the
building, located in the rear OF the
main building, was also burned, to-
gether with its contents.
Hirsch Bros. & Co, vinegar dealers,
had an Office in the main building,
and a large amount of vinegar stored
in the warehouse. Their loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, fully insured.

along with the gun" which had stood
in the shed for hawks. Everything
went to the war. The South had the
best firearms, for they came Of long
line of gentlemen sportsmen who could
shoot.
Sharpshooters armed with the mod
ern style will play great part in
warfare. The discharge Of the new
weapon is almost noiseless, and
smckeless powder being used, there
Will be nothing to betray the location
CT concealed rifeman who pOurs a
continuous fire with murderous accu-
Iacy into the ranks Of the enemy The
commander in the field sees his officers
and men fall around him without
knowing whence the blow is struck.
This will be highly confusing to the
veteran who fought the enemy at short
range through powder flash and thick
smoke.
Just here comes in an odd point.
The new weapon is an Improvement
in the direction Of humanity. The
bullet travels so fast that apparently
the body does not attempt to resist 1t,
and it passes through flesh or bone
without infiicting much CT shock,
making a small, clean hole and not
breaking up the tissues. 1t goes
through the thinner bones, as the
shounlder blades, the ribs and breast
bone, without smashing effect.
An opportunity for a first-rate test
was afforded by the recent Chitral
campaign of India. Wounded natives
with tiny holes drilled clear through
them, were out and about within
twenty-four hours, not suffering any
serious inconvenience. Such was ac-
tually the case with a majority of the
Swatis who were hurt in various en-
gagements. This might be understood
more easily if only the flesh had been
injured, but bones were perforated, and
yet the men were not disabled.
Veterans see these scientific facts with
a grim smile, yet show no backward
ness at shouldering the weapon which
forces them to learn new tricks in their
old age

NEW TRICKS
FOR OLD
WAR DOGS.
Tie National Bulls Eye Maker
of the Present War.
By a National Guardsman.

Old soldiers who land in Cuba, rife
in hand, will find themselves in pos
session of different weapon from the
old army musket of 81. The old
horse pistol raised from colt" has
been hung over the chimney piece and
modern army rifles have been distri-
buted.
Fifty thousand of them were recent
il delivered to the War Department
from one of the national armories, and
$4,000 more are on the way. These
modern small arms are wonderfully
different from the guns carried by our
troops hitherto. The clumsy old As
calibre has been replaced by a weapon
that shoots as fast as a man can pull
the trigger. 1t is effective at dis
lance OF mile, and the lead bullet,
clad in a steel coat, leaves the muzzle
at speed of nearly half mile a sec
ond The idea Of the up-to-date rifle
is to throw a small and very hard pro-
jectile with enormously increased
velocity to a much greater distance
with greater precision than formerly
A United States soldier armed with
the new rifle will carry 115 cartridges
and can take IT'S lives if he be a crack
shot.
The question is still in dispute as to
whether a bullet ought 70 paralyze
man or simply iniict a slight injury.
In battle nInety-nine men cut of a
hundred will withdraw from the con-
fiict Slightly wounded, and seek medical
treatment. Thus they are hors du
combat for the time being. Often
under such circumstances soldiers will
yell and shrek, demoralizing their
comrades. This, of course, is an adj
vantage to the opposite side. On the
ether hand, it is urged that the new
STYLE of rife bullet has not enough
stopping power" Against savages it
is certainly not satisfactory, inasmuch
as they will keep ca fighting until
crippled or brought down, taking small
account of their lesser wounds.
In the old battles every man fought
with his own weapon. The revolver
that has lain in tie wife's bureau
drawer undisturbed for a decade, wait
ing for the first burglar, played a part
