There is real grief in Washington
on account of the sinking OF the
Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa, raised
by Lieut.. Hobson, while on its way
to New York, to be put in good con-
dition. II was estimated that the
vessel even in its damaged condition,
was worth about s., 900, 900 to the
government, but it isn't the money
value that has caused the grief. 1t is
the sentiment. Everybody had been
anticipating that for years to come,
the Maria Teresa would figure in our
Navy as an object lesson of the
prowess of urlsailors.
President Mckinley held special
reception in honor OF the Fourth Ohio
Volunteer Regiment, which passed
through Washington on its way from
Porto Rico home, in order that he
might have the pleasure OF shaking
the baud of ever member OF the regi-
ment. This regiment has the honor
of having been the only one ever re.
ceived by President inside the White
House.

Our Navy in Eight Years.

If we had had more battle.ships
Spain S coasts would have been men
aced while Cervera was cooped up in
Santiago harbor, and Spain would
have yielded before the battle of San
tiago was fought. II we had had
more battle ships our transports
would not have been held in Tampa s
hot port with men and supplies loaded
for five cruel days. In addition to
those already being built, appropria-
tons have been made for three more.
they are to be fast-of more than
eighteen knots speed. They will give
us in all thirteen fine fighting ships.
Naval experts declare that we need
at least thirty, and possibly forty. II
we should start five year for the
next five years they would all be
finished in eight years, and by that
time we should have an adequate
force of these peace-compelling mon
sters. No nation except England OF
France would encounter us with any
hope of victory. - Leslies Weekly.

Carl Schurtz as a Prophet.

ST. Louis Globe. Democrat.
Carl Schultz has. just warned his
audience, at meeting in New York,
that "the republic is doomed If the
policy of the present national admin
istration prevails. When Schurtz
and b. Gratz Brown, shortly before
the national conventions of 1872 were
held, started in Missouri the Liberal
Republican Party, Schurtz warned
the people of the United States that
the republic was doomed if Grant
were reelected. The people went
right ahead and re elected Grant, Civ
ing him about the largest majority
that any President had received since
Monroe second canvass. Schurtz's
normal mood is one of despair No
other man in this generation has pre-
dicted so many things that never did
and never will come to pass. His OPP
position to the Republicans just now
is a good omen.

characteristics Revealed by Hands.

A large hand is always better than
a small one. 1t indicates a person OF
some unusual powers The possessor
will be a good worker, principally as
to details; he will be, careful not to
make many promises, and will keep
the few he makes to the letter, even
at a loss to himself; he will be easily
offended, quick to imagine sights,
and not ready to forgive real or imag-
ined offenses. The possessor OF a
small hand will attempt almost any
thing, rarely, however, finishing any
thing he undertakes; is easily salts
fed both with himself and with the
world in general; is fond of gayety
and excitement; makes and loses
friends with the same uneasiness; is
impressionable and inhammable to a
high degree; is religious, but not
deeply so; will make. promises and
break them without conjunction, and
will be unable to bind himself to de-
tails. Ladies' Home Journal.

Expensive Peace.

1t has been said that peace hath her
victories nossess renowned than war.
And it may be added that some times
peace is almost as expensive as war
itself 1t is understood that a quar-
ter of million dollars has been placed
in a Paris bank to the credit of the
American Peace Commissioners, and
that the salaries and expenses of the
commissioners, including those of the
United States and Spain, will aggre-
gate over 5000, 900. This, of course,
includes the expenses of the Peace
Commissions in Porto Rico and Cuba.
1t is very large amount, but does
not represent half of one days ex-
penses of the United States during the
height of the recent war.

TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO.

Three Additional Regiments Ordered to
Points In the Island.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The war de-
partment has decided to send more
troops to Porto Rico. Orders have been
issued directing that the Fifth regular
cavalry. now at untsville. Ala, the
Sixth United States volunteer infantry,
now at Chickamaugs, and the Forty
Seventh New York, now at Fort Adams,
shall proceed to such point in Porto
Rico a. may be desired by tho COM
manding general in that island. The
Eighth United States volunteer infan.
try and two companies Of the Indiana
colored volunteers now at Fort Thomas.
Ky.. will relieve the Sixth volunteer
infantry at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points in the south.
Some of them may go to Cuba, but tho
majority will for the present occupy the
new camps recently selected in Georgia
and South Carolina. 1t is understood
the troops sent to garrison duty in Cuba
will not remain long, but when they
have seen service for q few months will
return to this country. The same is
probably true as to Porto Rico. It is
also intimated that when the troops re.
turn the volunteers will be given 60
days furl0ugh and be mustered out.
By that time congress will have had an
opportunity to determine what shall be
done in regard to garrisoning the new
possessions.
This determination is no doubt due
to the pressure that has been brought
by members of congress for the muster
ing out of the volunteers from their
states and districts. The responsibility
for furnishing troops for garrison duty
aud for army duty, generally, will be
upon congress. Although there has
been less pressure for the mastering out
of volunteers since the announcement
was made that the troops could not be
spared, the demand continues with suffi.
cient persistence to convince the war
officials that a reorganization Of the
army will be necessary and that soma
arrangement will have to be made to
secure force for garrison service In the
islands and the states, which will not
be subject to the same difficulties ex-
perienced in the case Of tho volunteers.
Although the pressure for the muster out
of the entire regiment is not SO great. the
demand for the discharge of individuals
has overwhelmed the department.
There is not q senator or representative
scarcely, who has not presented re.
quests of this kind, and there is con:
slant demand for the discharge Of one
man OF another upon some pretext
which would not be deemed valid in the
case of men in the regular army.

Joseph p. Mcintyre of the battleship
Oregon for sensational charges against
brother officers of the navy, made in a
lecture delivered in Denver. Aug. 8. the
chaplain went on the stand in his own
defense. His testimony is intended to
establish a plea of responsibility Tor
his utterances on the occasion. In q
Straightforward. simple. yet graphic
manner, he told the story Of the Ore
CONS wonderful trip from San Fran
cisco around Cape Horn; of the terrible
extremes Of heat and cold passed
through; OF the nervous strain which
the constant dread Of meeting the ell
envy caused: of the excitement of the
blockade and the great battle Of July 3.
followed by q nervous collapse on the
present narrator. He told how after
he reached Denver in his weakened
condition he repeatedly refused to lee

his efforts might be ofbenefit in finan-
cial way to the Young Mems Christian
association. himself declining to receive
Q cent of the proceeds. He told how
with whirling brain he stood before the
audience and then of his h0fror next

report of what he had said. He made
no denial Of the reports, saying that he
could not remember his words. He
only knew what he intended to say.

Last Thursday and Friday were
threshing days for John Leipp. who
lives on VIM. Bucher's farm, four miles
northeast Of the city. A POlander from
COlfax county did his threshing with
horse power and finished about 9 O'Clock
Friday afternoon, and had just hauled
the machine quarter OF mile east, and
set at b. Meuhler's when looking back,
Leippis barn was discovered to be on
fire. The crew turned out to assist in
saving the property as best they could.
Mr.. L. had just put the proceeds of his
harvest in the barn. Less than an hour
before, the fire was discovered, the peO-
ple present worked bravely. but the heat
from the building was SO intense that
they could not get near enough with
buckets of water to have any effect.
About tho time tho roof had fallen in
and the gable rafters were showing that
brilliant outline Of the once roof, the
large, double corn crib that stood about
thirty yards north, yielded to the in
tense heat and bursted into flames.
There were four horses in the barn.
Two Of them perished in the flames.
Mr.. L. succeeded in getting two Of them
out, they being pretty badly burned
about the head and lege, but not serious
ly. The large crib with its contents,
1900 bushels Of old corn. burned down;
Mr.. Leipp's loss as far as We can learn,
is as follows: Three tons hay, 2 work
horses, set double harness, set single
harness, corn planter, l broad cast
seeder, GO bushels new wheat, 400 BUSH
els new oats, 2 large stacks straw, all he
had, barrel salt, l set tools, besides
number OF farm implements. He had
no insurance on his property, but We
are told that the buildings belonged to
the landlord and were insured. Mr..
Bucher expects to rebuild at once.
