safety This is the rule on all men-of-
war;
Of course there is a little always
kept dry for decorating purposes, to act
as a sort of illuminate or cap in setting
off the damp cotton. But the dry gun
cotton is of such high-class material
and kept under such perfectly safe con-
ditions that it could not ignite by IT
self. The same can be said of every
other ounce of explosives on board the
Maine.
"A torpedo from below the water line
might easily have turned in the plates
and set fire to a magazine, or-but am
theorizing on that. The exterior and
the interior of the hull will tell the
story But l repeat, and am firm in my
conviction, the Maine did not blow up
from within. The blow came from the
outside of her magazines.
INVENTOR GATHMAN'S THEORY.
CHICAGO. Feb 17.-Emil Gathman,
the inventor, believes the Maine was de-
stroyed by a Harvey torpedo. He is
conVersant with Havana Harhor, and
from personal examination is familiar
with the equipment of the Maine. In
an interview to-day he said that with
the vessel pointing against the tide, the
might dark and the Maine not protected
by netting, a man could row skiff
across the bows of the Maine at a dis
tance of from 500 to LOCO feet towing
a Harvey or floating torpedo. Allow
ing the tide to drift the torpedo against
the forward end of the Maine he could
explode it by means of electric wires
attached to the Illuminating cap.
Mr.. Gathman served two years as a
naval apprentice aboard the training
ship Portsmouth, when Captain Sigs-
bee was her commanding officer. Three
years ago he was a member of the en-
cheering corps which conducted the
second trial trip of the Maine.

La,ter's Defense of LaIiy Recalled by
Trial.

History has a strange way of repeat
ing itself in human actions. The trial
of lola in Paris for openly declaring
the innocence OF Captain Dreyfus re-
calls a similar part played by Voltaire
more thar 100 years ago, when he de-
Tended h honor of another French
soldier, Count Lally. Lally had failed
to save India from the English, had
been taken prij)ne- aud had, with true
magpanimity, begged his captors to
allow him to go to Paris to answer the
charges that had been made against
him.
His request having been granted. he
voluntarily placed himself on trial. But
his countrymen, Infatuated at the loss
or their possessions in India n Can
ada, were in no mood to treat him with
im~partiality, n after proceedings
which were tainted with fragrant lille
gality, Lally was condemned TO death
by the parliament of Paris on the vague
charge OF abuse of authority, exaction
and extortion. Voltaire, who was al
ways ready to espouse the cause of the
of injustice and oppression,
helped the murdered mans son. known
IN the days of the evolution as Lally
Tollendal, to clear his fathers name.
with ~unrelenting perseverance he
went 10 work TO procure a revision of
the proceedings of Count Lally's trial.
and n of the browning triumphs of
his life was the news. brought to him
on the death-bed. that his untiring eff
forts in the cause of justice had beer
crowned with success.
Strangely enough, Voltaire also ex-
erted himself in trying to save a man
condemned by our government of the
time. The execution of Admiral Rvng
was a parallel in the history of Eng
land to the death of Lally in French
history. Voltaire. who a known Byng

save the unfortunate admiral. He OBJ

New York, April 6.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram: The stock
markets here were waiting for President
Mckinley's message today. The tone was
doubtful and feverish. Americans opened
fairly steady, and then gave way on a
sharp fall in Spanish As. The latter SUBJ
s~equently rallied on Paris buying, ac-
companied by reports that hte emperor of
Austria was endeavoring to induce Spain
to come to terms. Americans recovered
with Spanish Is. but the street became
dull, notably so on rumors stating that
100000 In gold had been ordered for
New York from the Bank of England to-
morrow. New York sent selling orders
for Americans, the first thing. but at the
same time gave a lot of option none for
put and call later. New York also took
on balance. Brazils were better
on the rise in exchange. Gold to the
amount of a1s5. 900 was withdrawn from
the Bank of England today for New
York, of which elOo, 900 was in sovereigns
1t is believed that this indicates an ex-
pectancy of their probable return here
soon.
The banks selling price of eagles is 7ss

pence less. Hence to bring them back
means considerable loss. 1t is believed
that nothing but a war declaration will

starting all the way from Soc to s6lsc.
against Mondays closing price of S5LD
S5asc. For the first 10 or 20 minutes trad
ing 1t was difficult to I'LL the short cover
ing orders which poured in from local and
OUTSIDE sources. Most of this was in
small lots, but was a heavy buyer in COW
er1ng important short lines. The strength
at the start was apparently mostly due to
the foreign news, Liverpool being about
Esd higher. while Odessa reported Russ an
wheat advancing on the war prospects.
continental markets also showed
strength. The Northwest movement was
rather light, Minneapolis and Duluth re
porting receipts of 253 cars, compared
with 3SS last week. and 26S a year ago. The
advance which marked the opening soon
brought large quantities of long wheat
onto the market. After the more pressing
wants had been satisfied, the market be-
gan 10 decline. The recession movement
continued for nearly two hours. during
which time July was hammered down to
S4Ac. The firmness of the closing of
Liverpool. and continental cables and
heavy purchases by commission houses
stopped the decline at that point, and
caused a rally before noon to SIC. when
another spell of weakness resulted.
News that the presidents message
would not be sent to congress before Mon
day relieved the pressure toward the close.
and the market recovered to S5hc. The
close was steady at S4kc. The action of
corn was governed chiefly by wheat. Mar
ket became very dull late in the day.
Oats were fairly active in a general
way. with prices influenced mainly by the
action of wheat and corn.
provisions were irregular. Starting
weak and lower, the market quickly raj
lied on liberal purchases, but grew duh

Illinois managed to select two Chica-
go society women as types of the
states beauty with much less trouble
than the same selection has jus. oc,a-
stoned in Nebraska.
The selection of the two Nebraska
girls. whose faces shall b. a part of
the composite photograph to adorn the
trans-Mississippi exposition medal
proved to be a greater task than any-
thing yet undertaken by the directors.
After three months delay the selec-
tons have been made. and Miss Nave
O'Shea of Lincoln and Meta Harmer
OF Syracuse are the young women thus
honored. According to the test, the
facial expression of these two young
women Is supposed to be the best type
or the female beauty of the state. They
were selected from a group of several
hundred. After much pickering the
directory of the exposition left the mat
ter to the vice presidents of the state
and after great elaboration these Sc
lections were made. II is said. how
ever, that the selection was finally left
to a Nebraska photographer. as he was
supposed to be a better judge of typi-

selected will be sent to New York, where
