LONDON, May 5.-A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Vienna says:
Although the position of the queen re-
gent of Spain grows daily more difficult, no
step can be taken by the Austrian cabinet
in the matter, Notwithstanding the deep
and wide sympathy felt in high quarters
here.
1T is stated at the foreign office that
separate and isolated action on the part of
Austria must be carefully avoided. This
is only in strict accordance with the prin-
ciples already laid down.
Moreover, such an attempt at rendering
assistance to the queen regent might easily
be misinterpreted, and besides meet
ing with the strongest opposition from
those who side with the American. could
not fail to give rise to misunderstanding
in many quarters.
Accordingly, there is a firm determine
ton here that if Austria takes any part at
all with regard to the conflict it will be
only to take part in united action by Epro-
pean cabinets, and then only if Spain her
self seeks the intervention of the powers"

DoLE'S DONATION
Will Give the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States

HONOLULU, April 81. via San Francis
co, May 4.-President Dole has sent long
communication to President Mckinley Of
fering to transfer the Hawaiian islands to
the United States for the purposes of its
war with Spain, and to furnish the Ameri-
can ships of war in the Pacific ocean with
large quantities Of coal and supplies of
ammunition. This action was taken by
the executive just after secret confer
ence Of the Hawaiian cabinet, called to dis
cuss the position to be assumed by the gov
eminent toward the two belligerents.
The news Of the declaration of war by
the United States against Spain was re-
ceived here today by the Mariposa, which
arrived from the Australian colonies with
advices from the United States up to the
10th instant.

from Honolulu regarding President Dole s
tender to the United States to indicate a
willingness to form an alliance with this
country for the war with Spain. They say
that for the Hawaiian Islands to have
held aloof and insisted upon remaining
neutral would have been equivalent to re-
fusing coal or granting courtesies to the
United States during the war. and that the
action now taken will put the islands in

M'KINLEY GREEIS A LOYAL SOUTH.
CONTINUOUS OVATION.
The Presidents Trip to the Atlanta Peace Jubilee
Shows that We are Strongly United
People Stirring Speeches.

The Presidents visit to the south
ended Sunday night after several days
of remarkable displays of enthusiasm.
Far above the Importance of the recep-
tions Is the fact that the original OBJ
Ject of President McKinley's visit has
been entirely lost sight of.
The Unprecedented uutbursts of 10y
atty to the union have completely over
shadowed the rejoicing over the peace
with Spain though participation i'm the
latter was the evowed object OF the
presidents southern trip.
In all the speeches and In all the
demonstrations which have marked
the presidents visit to Atlanta. Tus-
kegee. Montgomery and Savannah,
there has been the tacit admission that
the war with Spain was the great fac
tor I'm achieving the result, but IL Is to
the result and not to the factor that
the chief trend of speech making and
of enthusiasm has lent itself.
The president Sunday attended serv-
ice at the Memorial Methodist church
at Savannah. lie was met at the door
of the church by leading members of
the congregation. who escorted him to
the pew reserved for him. AS he en-
tered the congregation arose and re-
manned standing until he Lad taken
his scat. The sermon was by Rev.
John A. Thomson, DID. There was no
reference to the distinguished presence
during the service. beyond an invoca-
tion by the preacher for divine guild
ance for the president during the crisis
which now confronts the country.

In building up the organization, say
ing; Organization is the order Of the
day. Every other industry is better
organized than farming. No industry
not organized can hold its own against
organized industries. But l have a
special reason for wishing a strong
Grange at the Corvallis college. The
farmers are impoverishing their land
at rapid rate. Barnyald manure is
entirely inadequate. Commercial fert-
illzers are out of the question at the
present price OF wheat. only see one
hope for the restoration or the fertll-
ity OF our land, and that is by raising
some of the many leguminous plants,
aud thus restoring the nitrogen TO the
soil, Experimenting along this line
aud through farmers Institutes is, 10
my opinion, the most urgent work Of
your Grange and college. If we go on
10 years longer in the way we are now
going the result will be disastrous.
