A CHAT WITH MIR. ADDICKs.

As the Republican sweep in Kent and
Ssusex must be and will be credited to
J. Edward Addicks, as the head and
front of the Union Republican party, his
views are important and interesting.
Here is an authorized statement
"The result in Delaware muDt be
credited to the men who have l6yally
and ably supported what is ~ called
the Union Republican party. Ihename
stands only for an organization y pro.
gressive men who are and have always
been faithful supporters Of the Republi-
can party. In common with each and
every one of these men, l am highly
gratified with the Republican victory.
"If the official returns prove that the
Republicans in the next Legislature can
pass measures over the veto of our
Democratic Governor a new era in Della
ware legislation will be established.
Laws will be enacted to properly in
crease the revenues of the Common
wealth, and little Delaware will assert
her right to lead the procession of Pro-
gression to Prosperity.
"That the election was generally peace
full and honest throughout the State was
undoubtedly due to the enterprise and
courage of THE Sun. Publicity robbed
the manipulators OF their daring and
thus prevented fraud
81 consider this a remarkable fight
and splendid victory"

 HAVANA, April 6.-Ensign Powelson, who is attached to the Fern, while spending some time on the wreck of the Maine yes terday was peremptorily ordered
 away by the commander of the Spanish gunboat Le Gazpe, who
 took the position that MT. Pow olson had no right there since the United States flag had been hauled down froi the wreck after the departure of Lieuten-

 BALTIMORE, Md, April 6. United States Senator c L. Wellington was in Baltl- more to-day, and said in re- sponse to an inquiry Il do not think it will be possible to hold Congress any longer in relation to the Cuban affair.
 "I expect things will break loose tomorrow and that some definite action will be taken on the subject. l had hoped that war might be averted, but l see no pros- pect of that at the present time, and unless there is a decided change in the situa- tion war in a very short time is inevitable"

NEW YORK, April o.-The Herald's Washington core spondent sends the following: As time passes it is be- coming more evident that the destruction of the Maine is to figure as the principal count in the indictment which Con- gress will make the basis of it's action against Spain.
 This was not only devel- oped in conference this after noon and inthe conversations of Senators and Representa- tives, but 1t was told by members of the House Com 
 mittee on Foreign Affairs that the explanation which Sigs- bee had given to that com mittee of the mechanical testimony before the Court of Inquiry had served to con- vince the committee that the evidence proved the ship had been destroyed by Span ish treachery.

QUEEN REGENT
 SEEKING NOW
 TO MAKE PEACE
Working as Only a Woman Can to Avoid Plunging the Land
 She Loves Into War.

Copyrighted. 1898, by James Gordon Bennett.
 MADRID, April o.-Of all the great surprises in the extraordinary diplomatic struggle between the United States and Spain, during which we have been on the verge of war twice during the last few days, the greatest is yet to come. At the present time there is on foot a great and final attempt for peace which has every prospect of being success full.
 And I state this when all around are talking war, when men of peace have become jingoes, when troops are being hurried to Spanish ports, when hot haste Is being made in dis patching ships from various ports to unite at Cadiz, when, unless this plan I speak of succeeds, Spain will send forth the best fleet she can muster and 1t will be one that will have to be reckoned with.
 It Is impossible for me to tele- graph you what I know. I might frustrate one of the most noble at- tempts at peace ever made in the his tory of the world, and peace may yet be written in large letters of gold where those spelling war in letters of blood might have been.
 I can merely say, as an indication that if it comes, it will be from the hands of a good and pious woman, speaking in the name of all that is most holy upon earth, the beautiful message of peace to Cuba.
 Yesterdays optimism is replaced by an equal amount of pessimism, and this was reflected on the Bourse where the fall was from 9 to 3 points. But, as every one is crying war, and pessimism is at it's height, let me tell, on unquestionable au- thority, that the situation is far from lost and that, although diplomacy may appear paralyzed, there are ex- traordinary means, which are born in times such as these, have risen into existence in the face of the threatened storm and by which clever heads and devoted hearts may yet succeed in proclaiming peace.
 This may seem enigmatical, but take my word there is a vast deal behind it. will go further and tell you emphatically, in the face of all pessimists, jingoes and alarmists, that peace has not only one string to its bow, out two. Further, be it stated, that none of the theories or rumors so far advanced has any reference to these possible means which are at present inviolable se- crets.
 The preparations for war continue.

8 g g 8 B g S 8 g S2 8 8 8 8 8 s s g Mir. McCalmont's famous yacht, the Giralda, is being fitted out with rapid-fre guns, and will be used for a dispatch boat. The torpedo boat destroyer, after perilous voyage for the tempests have been terrible lately-has arrived at Cadiz, where she finds her travelling companions, which she lost en route.
 The Infanta Maria Teresa, Cristo- bal Colon and Carlos V are expected to-day from Havre at Ferrol. The warships are undergoing the final fittings of their armament, which was made on the journey in order to make good speed to Cadiz. The tor pedo fleet at Cadiz has, by order of the Minister of Marine, been rein forced by the Habana, the Barcelona, the Retamosa and the Orion. The first three will be attached to the second torpedo squadron, should it start. The Audaz and Osado, torpedo boat destroyers, are still waiting to make up the second squadron.
 The Vizcaya and oquendo, which started out from Havana to meet the torpedo squadron, have been sig naled back, and have gone to Porto Rico. The torpedo squadron, it is un- derstood, is at the Cape Verde Isl ands.
 It is now decided that the Cris- tobal Colon and the Infanta Maria Teresa would go, in case Of need, to Havana, and the Carlos V and the Pelayo would remain about the Span ish coast. The Cardinal Cisneros has left her dock and is at Ferrol. The Osada has left Queenstown for Ferrol and the Audaz, which is in dock there, is being repaired.
 From all parts of the country re- ports come in of patriotic subscrip- tions, patriotic bull fights and pa triotic theatrical performances.

scriblng riotous condition of affairs in Havana, and urging that the message be withheld for three or four days so as to give him time for getting all Ameri- cans out of the island When this cable gram was received official announce ment was made that the Presidents message would not go to Congress be- fore Monday next
 These kaleidoscope changes in policy are puzzling. When the Cabinet left the White House last night the definite statement was made that the message would be sent to Congress at noon to- day When Congress assembled word came from the White House that there would be two or three hours delay. Later there were hurried conferences between the President and the leading members of the two houses, and then word came that the anxiously awaited document would not come to Congress before Monday.
 The Senators and Representatives who conferred with the President brought WOIO DdCK 10 lnelr colleagues that the Chief Executive was justified in holding this message in the light of the present condition of affairs in Ha- vana reported by General Lee.
 There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of the statement of the President and his official advisers that the safety of two thousand Americans under the protecting wing of General Lee was the immediate cause for keeping back the message.
 Yet there is no denying that the ad- ministration authorities consider that the delay may not only be the means of protecting these Americans. but that conditions may so change between now and Monday as to possibly avert war. In any event they argue that from the military standpoint there will be gain rather than loss by the delay.
 The President has not yielded one inch in his determination to urge upon Congress the necessity for inn mediate forcible intervention to put

BY THE LOT OR ACRE.
Hudson City Improvers Want
to Know How Property is
Assessed Up Their Way.

Ten members Of the Hudson City I'm
provement Association were present at the
regular meeting of the ASSOCIATION in
Groeschels Hall, Beacon and Oakland
avenues, last night. Nine forms a
quorum, but as the lirait has been reached
with a very small margin to spare OF late,
a motion was read proposing to amend
the bylaws, and constitute FIVE a quorum.
The motion was laid over till the next
meeting and if enough members get to-
gether It will probably go through. Cur
iously enough the Twelfth Ward Improve
ment Association adopted a similar
amendment at it's last meeting.
"A committee appointed at the last meet
ing, to pave the way for having the law
changed, was to empower the Street Com
m%issioners to cut through streets where
necessary and lay them out in regular
square blocks, like New York" instead
Of the may way they are at present, re-
ported no progress. Some further discus
sion on the matter vas held and it was
decided to use every effort to attain this
object.
a letter was read from the National Mu-
nlcipal League asking the association to
become a embe The discussion was
postponed until next meeting.
An invitation to the association to at
tend the annual ball of the Jefferson Club
was read. A committee was appointed to
investigate the way large vacant lots are
taxed, whethersby the lot or acre. This
question created a good deal of interest
In view of the fact hat the ground on
Palisade avenue behind the proposed Og-
den avenue park, and the purchase Of
which the city had been considering rs
an addition to said park. had been Of
Tered for sale by the lot. If it is taxed by
the acre the improvers propose to nave it
bought by the acre, and thus save money,
they maintain.
Mr.. Wackernau brought up the matter
of the drainage of some fats on Palisade
| avenue above Raviae Road. The a~ssocia-
ton fears there is danger of the drainage
| going down into the meadows. A COM
mittee was appointed to look into this
matter, too,
The meeting expressed its thanks to
| Street and Water Commissioner Nolan for
! his efforts in behalf Of city improvements.
He was mainly Instrumental in getting
| the Ravine Road paved.
The Treasurer reported the receipts 10
be 400. The meeting then adjourned.
