exchange word came from Madrid that
The Spanish government was about to
issue another appeal TO the great pow
ers OF Europe. 1t is understood that
his appeal ia an initlatory 70 the con-
certed action OF the powers, and there
Is apparent agreement in advance that
the appeal will receive favorable con-
sderatlon It is said that Spain's ap-
peal Will recite her grievances against
the United States, stating In detail the
many concessions she has made and
pointing cut that II was in response to
the urgent representation of the six
loint powers that the last concession Of
an armistice was granted. If the pow
rs determine to act. their influence viii
probably be particularly directed to-
ward inducing the United States to
grant Spain sufficient time within which
20 try the armistlce recently pro-
claimed.
During the recent joint action OF the
powers their main influence was exert
I'd at Madrid, the only action at Wash
ngton being the courteous expression
IF hope for peace. But the present
movement contemplates that the indu-
qnce shall be exerted at Washington
rather than at Madrid, as it is the
common belief in diplomatic quarters
that the Madrid authorities have reach
ed the limit OF concessions and should
aow be given adequate time to try what
they and the powers have offered as a
means OF restoring peace in Cuba.
There Is no suggestion. however. that
this influence at present will be OF q
material character. but It is expected to
be an assertion Of all of the moral infiu-
ence OF the powers in checking tenden-
cles which. 1t is believed, inevitably win
lead to war. Up to a late hour last
night word had not been received at
any Of the various foreign establish
ments that any common basis of joint
action had been reached, although IL
was the general impression that there
would he little difficulty in arriving at
this common ground in view Of the pre-
vailing sentiment abroad. It is not 50
certain, however, that all of the powers
are ready for step OF this character
Germany has of late shown a dlsposl-
tion to avoid exerting strong influences
on the United States Russia is also
thought to be somewhat Indifferent
France and Austria are most active in
the present movement, as they were in
the former one. Whether all Of the six
powers are ready to join in the move
ment is in doubt, and without this unit
ed action It is felt that the force Of
such influence would be lost

Declines Reception Because He Thinks
He Doesn't Deserve 1t.
WASHINGTON. April 10. - General
F'itz Hugh Lee has declined the honor
OF the reception rendered him. When
the committee waited upon him 10 re-
ceive his final decision, he started his
speech Of declination in a characteris-
tic manner.
Look here, boys" he said In a mat
ter OF fact tone, i haven't done
thing that either one OF you or any
American citizen would not have doney
and 1 don't see why there should be
any fuss made about IT, Now, 1 don't
want you to think am ungrateful for
I am not. but 1 have studied over the
matter. and feel satisfied that 1t
would be better not to have the recep-
tion. I don't want for an instant for
anybody TO think that I wish to put
myself forward and 1 must decline
your most lNnd OFFER
One Of General Lees most intimate
friends said that one reason for his not
wanting the reception was that he rec
ognlzed the fact that he occupied an
official position and felt hesitancy in
accepting any formal denomination on
that account.

WASHINGTON April 15.-It was
learned last night in high diplomatic
quart srs that an exchange of notes had
begun between the European capitals
with a view 20 making representations
IN the Spanish American situation. In
The same connection an informal meet
ne of the ambassadors and ministers
In this city Of the six great powers Of
Europe was held late in the day. Sew
eral Of the foreign establishments re-
oeived cable advices from their gov
ernments last night as to the opening
Of the exchange Of notes This had
been anticipated ia view of the prevail
ing sentiment in all the foreign quar-
ters here that the action thus far taken
IN congress made war inevitable. This
common opinion had been officially re-
ported TO the several European capi-
tails, and Il was doubtless Instrumental
in starting the active exchange between
the great powers yesterday The same
exchange occurred week ago as a
preliminary to the joint note of the
great powers presented to President
Mckinley mildly urging a peaceful set
tlement with Spain. II is understood.

BERLIN April 15.-The action Of
congress in the Cuban crisis is unfa-
vorably commented upon by the Ger
man newspapers.

fore have there been more frivolous
provocations for war"
The Post remarlks THAT the popular
representatives of the Union who have
so often jeered at the old world as a
military Moloch now themselves pro-
woke war plainly shows that no form
OF government can guarantee perma-
nent peace and that bellicoseness is
innate in man and cannot be uprooted." T"
The Boersen Courier says: THE peace
party in congress is now dwindling to
nothing and If Mckinley is still inspir-
ed with peaceful intentions he knows
well how to hide them. The vote in

for peace"

Other countries, other manners Not
long ago l went back to the small
country town of my boyhood to make
a short visit, and while there the
whole town was set agog by the ap-
pearance of a highly interesting for
elgner-a Hungarian of noble birth.
No, he wasn't a barber in disguise; he
was a genuine titled Hungarian. One
OF the clever, pretty girls of Small
town had gone abroad to study music,
and had there met and made a serious
impression on this Hungarian gentle
man, who had crossed the water to
make her a visit. He held a military
position in his own country, and the
tails of his military coat-lined with a
brilliant red-nearly Frustrated the
entire community. One Sunday morn
ing he accompanied the young lady
to church, and, Of course, Smalltown
was out in full force to get a good
look at him. Certainly his church de-
pertinent differed widely from any
thing ever witnessed in this country.
He was seated in the pew with the
young woman when her father came
down the aisle. AS the father entered
the pew, the tall Hungarian arose,
placed his hand across his breast and
bent double in a ceremonious bow;
then seated himself, the red coat-tails
being much in evidence during the sa-
lutte. When the girls mother entered a
few minutes later the same formal re-
ception bow was made to her. AS a
rule. Americans do not rise and make
sweeping bows in church; but, as is
evident, such is the Hungarian fash
ion, and Smalltown was naturally
much interested and agitated over this
unusual display of foreign manners"

The Postal Savings Bank.

For many ear efforts have been
made to establish postal savings
banks, but the project has always been
violently opposed by the people who
did not wish banking business divert
ed from its present channels. There is
just now a possibility that the postal
savings bank may materialize. This
will be of great benefit to small de-
positors and those who have no con-
fidence in the ordinary bank. A bill
which is to be introduced early in the
next session Of congress provides that
the amount deposited shall not exceed
three hundred dollars. There are
many localities where banks are not
convenient, and a very large con-
tingent of the public have no real faith
in banks as a means of safety for their
hard-earned dollars. No matter how
reliable these institutions may be they
have heard so many stories about
runs and bank failures that they
have grown suspicious. If they can
put their treasures direct into the
hands Of Uncle Sam they will feel much
more confident as to their safety, and
very much more money will be saved
by this a As an e~ncourager to
thrift n prudence the postal savings
bank will be one of the most valuable
auxiliaries in the communicate
York Ledger.
