OPPOSED TO COMPROMISE.
Congressman VIII Not Vote to Buy

WASHINGTON, March 12-The PROPOSE

ident when he talks on public questions,
said: 1--WE don't want to fight for Cuban
independence and to pay money for it, too
I hope Cuba will soon receive her independ-
ence."
Judge King, of Utah. said: st don't think
that the government ought to guarantee
Cuban bonds. If the loss of the Maine can
not be directly fastened upon the Spanish
government, and should prove to have been
the act of fanatic, don't think the Span
ish government should be held responsible
further than the payment of an indemnity
to us. We have no concern in the issue of
bonds. and. therefore, should not guarantee
them. We ought to recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba, form treaty with the island
and then, to establish peace, intervene and
drive the Spanish from the island. 1t is
foolish to talk about the purchase of Cuba's
freedom. At one time Cubans would have
been glad to purchase it, but now too many
have starved to death from the cruelties
perpetrated for the proposition to be enter
tanned. Cubans themselves would not want
TO buy peace when they are practically free.
and would not want to issue bonds. Why
should this government force them to
do sop

EURoPE,s EYES OPENED.
Events of the Past Week Here Have
Impressed Foreigners.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
LONDON, March PA diplomat, who
probably is the recipient of more conf
dences than any man in London, has ex-
pressed himself as follows on the Cuban
question: IF America had designed, with a
set purpose, the events of the past week,
she could not by any possibility have devel-
oped anything which in it's impressive dig
nifty wouil have had such an effect on Eu-
rope as the way in which the executive,
Congress and the people have met the crisis
and risen to the responsibilities involved in
dealing with the Cuban question" Such is
undoubtedly the general feeling. Every one
here now recognizes that the United States
does not desire war, but is actuated by
humanitarian sentiments and will not
shrink from war if it is necessary to right
the wrongs Of Cuba and exact satisfaction
from Spain.
In the course of a long article the Speaker
expresses the opinion that the $50,OOO,OOO APP
preparation for the national defense really
makes for peace although there is always
danger incident to the possession of war
material that the country, assisted by the
new school of which Captain Mahan is the
prophet, may be tempted to use the weapons
just bought The Speaker adds: IN the
face of a possible deficit, bank crisis and
the suspension of the revival of industry the
United States has deliberately shown the
world that it will not be trihed with. The
Spanish patriots would do well to heed the
warning. If they try TO retain Cuba by
force their failure is certain, and they will
hardly less certainly bring down the fabric
of the government in Spain."
On the other hand the Spectator al
though contending that preparation Is gem
orally the surest way OF avoiding war,
thinks that the proposition does not hold
good in the case of the United States and
says: "The circumstances steadily tending
towards Intervention in Cuba will not be
altered by any amount OF preparation, be-

The Pals gives the cardinals views on

adding: THE essence of the pastoral, about
which we could say a great deal more, is
that it signs the funeral dirge of the resto-
ration. Under pretext of condemning the
cardinal, Casjares mas sprinkled ashes on
the head of the monarchy"
The Correo, Carlist, of Feb 2S naturally
revels in the pastoral, which it reproduces
in great part. 1t says it will go down to
posterity as one of the ''blackest, yet tru-
est, paintings of the condition of Spain un-
der the Maria Cristina regency and one
of the most dreadful accusations against
that regency"
The Correo continues: Reading the pas
toraI one sees it comes from the heart, from
patriotic heart suffering, like our own,
for the miseries of the fatherland, from
the heart of an old soldier indignant at the
insults offered to the Spanish flag by the
North American merchants, from the heart
of an apostle filled with compassion for our
brave soldiers fighting and dying without
glory, the victims of the treachery of the
enemy or of the climate, at once as treach-
erous and hostile.''

An Interesting Lecture Delivered he

Members of the National Geographic So

gregational Church last night and a large
contingent was in the galleries. The meet
ing was primarily for the purpose of listen
ing to lecture by H. Snowden Ward of

interesting feature of it was the announce
nent of the selection of Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell. the eminent inventor. as
president of the society to succeed the late
Mr.. Gardiner q. Hubbard.
Prof Bell spoke of the sadness surround
ing his call TO the position. No one. he
said, felt more deeply the great gap that

OF the evening. A large screen had been
stretched across the organ front and Mr..

excellent pictures on the screen and ac-
companied them with an Interesting talk

passing through our schools from the low

In her concluding pages she recommends
the Introduction into every school room OF
the adjustable desks and seats furnished

Advantages of Vertical Writing.
In speaking Of vertical writing she has
the following to say:
There Is some reason to believe that
much of the spinal curviture found in
adults has been produced by faulty writ
ing positions taken in the school room
during the period of growth. This may
have been due to the turned and twisted
position taken when writing, to careless
ness on the part Of the teacher. or to
bad-fitting desks and seats. Desks too
high or too low, seats too high or too low,
desks and seats not properly placed in re-
lation to each other, all produce unhygienic,
unsymmetrical positions of the body in
writing which when constantly assumed
tend to become fixed.
In vertical writing, as taught in the lower
grades, the paper is placed directly in
'front.' parallel with the front edge of the
desk, the body Is held square to the front,
with chest up. and the bend forward il
made at the hips. This Is by far the best
position from the standpoint Of health
With the introduction of vertical wiring
the gradual Introduction of adjustable
desks and seats, and care and patience on
the part of the teacher, there is now no
reason for bad positions when writing"
