stating, during n discussion upon the
best manner Of dealing with local in

way of checking X :ssive drinking in
Manitoba. When a man had been twice
or thrice convicted of drunkenness in
the police courts lie was sentenced to

The speech of Senator Berry was APP

Senator Daniel of Virginia followed Mr..

There was great Indignation among rad

in the resolutions passed by the House,
and particularly in the omission of the
clause compelling Spain to at once with
draw from Cuba.

Victoria and Jenny Lind.

That Queen Victoria is o blind to
the hold that other celebrities may
have upon the feelings of her people
was prominently Illustrated in 1913,
when Jenny Lind was to sing Mt her
majesty's tlieater. The Queen made
her first public appearance after the
memorable Christmas Day. For the
great artistic, too, this was a first ap-
pcarance, for it was the beginning of a
season at a place where the year be-
fore she had won unparalleled fame.
1t happened that the Queen entered
TIL royal box ut the same moment that
the prima donna stepped upon the
stage. Instantly n tumult of acclama-
ton burst from every corner of the the
alter. Jenny Lind modestly retired to
the back of the stage, waiting till the
demonstration of loyalty to the sover-
eign should subside. .
The Queen, refusing to appropriate
to herself that which she imagined to
be intended for the artistic, made no
acknowledgment. The cheering con-
tinued, increased. grew overwhelming,
and still there was no acknowledgment
from either the stage or the royal box.
At length, when the situation be-
came embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with
ready tact, al forward to the foot.

which was caught up Mt the end Of the

of her box and bowed, and the opera

The testimony taken before the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations in con-
nection with the investigation into the re-
~lations betwecnthe United States and Cuba
was made public Thursday. 1t constitutes
IL book of about $50 pages andincludcsn not

ter to the Maine hut also much that was
taken before mi running back for Il year
or more.
The statement which contains the
g%reatest current interest is that made by
Consul General Lee. OH the 18th instant.
In this statement Gen. Lee said that he
was informed on good authority that the
Spaniards had placed two rows of torpc-
does just at the mouth of the Havana
harbor by MORO Castle within the last
two months, or subsequent to the Maine
disaster, and that the switchboard is in
Il room i'll the castle. He said. however,
that he had 40 information of the placing
of amy torpedoes before the Maine was
destroyed. and none i'll regard to the pur-
chase abrond by the Spanish authorities.
"IIave YOU any reason to suppose that
the lar'bor was mined before the blowing
up of the Mainc?" asked Senator Frye.
NO.. sir; l had no reason to suspect
anything of that SOFT up to that time"
He then Went OIL to say that Gen. Ney-
ler's letter to Santos Guzman had led
him to believe that mines might have
been placed there previous To the Maine
incident, and he said that this supposition
was strengthened by Il telegram from
Gen. Wcylcr of which he had cogniznMcc.

The telegram to which he referred was
addressed to Eva Camel, IL noted Spanish
woman and an admircr of Weyler's. and
to Senior Guzman, and it read as follows:
"Gravc circumstances cause me to ask
you to destroy the last letter of Feb. 49,"
Gen, Lee said that this telegram had
never before been published and he found
in 1t strong confirmatory c~videpee Of the
gcnuineness of the Wcylcr letter.
With reference to the responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine, Gen. Lee
said: II am satisfied the explosion was

Aurora Borcalis and Superstition,
Conceive for q moment the glories of
the aurora borealis! We who live in
the semi1somber atmosphere of this
zone may we'll forestall, by Imagination,
the speechless wonder wi ich would
seize us We're we first to behold that
most dramatic pllantasmagoria of sun
phases on sky and IL and ice. The
Teutons portrayed their emotions in
their legends relating to their god Loki.
In the story of his funeral pyre we de-
tect the imagery inspired. by the splen-
dor of the aurora borealis. Loki is tho
god of evil-enemy of both gods and
men. Fire, at first dangerous, at last
the friend of man, is the emblem of this
dark god. He is surrounded by flame,
through whose circumference man
must pass to the place of eternal sleep.
He is pictured as selling his faithful

Death. where reigned King Death
guarded by his two dogs. We need not
penetrate much deeper into the mythol-
ogy of antiquity to discover all the
forms around which gathered the legcn-

Indeed it will be discovered by STU
dents that the Scandinavian legends
are much responsible for the dark,
gloomy phases of Christian theology

The lesson which these considerations

Immediately available for national de-

in the regular army or a more effective
national guard, the latter would be i'm
measurably more in line with our tra-

Indicates Something MOmentOus
Is About to Occur.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Secretary
Long said at the close of office hours
today that no word had come from any
of the scouting vessels so numerous in
West Indian waters concerning the
Spanish flying squadron. wherefore he
concluded that Cervera was still in
Santiago harbor. Supposedly Schley is
lying outside waiting to prevent the
progress Of the Spanish vessels, but,
while there is evidence of a certain
kind on that fact, there has been no Of
fetal confirmation of it. This is lit
tie remarkable in view of the fact that
it is only days run for one of Schley's
swift torpedo boats from Santiago to
cable port in Hayti. There is also
curious lack Of Information from news

COUNCIL OF WAR.
Probably it was this uncertain state
of affairs that induced the president to
call a consultation at the White house
today between Secretaries Alger and
Long and Gen. Miles and the members
Of the naval board, Admiral Sicard,
Capt. Crowninshield and Capt .Mahan.
AS stated by one of the members of the
conference the purpose was to go
over the whole situation, from the
Philippines to Cuba and Porto Rico,
and decide just how far the plans al
ready laid should be modified to meet
conditions. This involved a discussion
of most important points, as the pro-
priety Of the immediate advance of the
military forces upon Cuba; the credi-
bility Of the advices so far had touch
Ing the location of the Spanish squad
ron; the policy of preceding the Cuban
expedition, or accompanying it with
one directed against Porto Rico, and.
finally, the extent of the military assist
ance to be sent to Admiral Dewey at
Mopi1o
