temper which has been given by the Span

The sensation produced by the news of
the destruction of the Maine in Havana
harbor is comparable, in the minds of men
and women who have seen so years or
more, only with that which swept over the
country when Sumter was fred on. In
their actual importance the events are by
no means equal, but there has been now
as then a feeling Of impending calamity
possibility that great emergency must be
met by the nation. The self-polse main
tained by the administration at Washing
ton, and in an equal degree by the people
at large, has, after all, been the dstin-
gushing feature of the week. There has
been an unmistakable readiness to meet
any emergency that might arise, but
equally with this there has been no in
sane or hot-headed desire TO rush into bel
ligereut action before the necessity for it
is proved.

Magazine Explosions.

The steam frgiate Fulton, the earliest
steam war vessel in history, was blown up
at the Brooklyn navy yard, June 1, 1929,
and entirely destroyed, 20 lives being lost.
Towards the close of the last century a
British frigaie, the Amphion, blew up
while at anchor in Plymouth sound, and as
everybody on board pershed, the cause of
the explosion is still mystery.
There is recalled the loss of the warship
Huron, in 1877, off the North Carolina
coast, with 100 men, and the loss of the
Trenton and Vandalia in the memorable
hurricane at Samoa. The destruction of
the old Kearsage upon Roncador reef in the
Caribbean sea was the last of the disas-
tiers in the American navy involving the
complete loss of ship. For mortality,
the Maine's tragic end compares more
nearly with the loss OF the British battle
ship Victoria, which, off Tripoli, in 1893,
was rammed by the Camperdown and sunk
in few minutes with 35S officers and men.

Senator Morrill, occupied the entire time
of the executive session of the Senate
Wednesday with a speech opposing the
ratification of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. There was more than usual inter-
est in the speech, owing TO the advanced
age of the Senator and to the fact that he
is the only Republican senator who has so
far spoken in opposition to the treaty. He
read from manuscript and received the
careful attention of all senators present.
Mr.. Morril's speech was intended to show
that the acquisition of the Hawaiian islands
would be against both good policy and the
traditions Of this country.

A traveller in Florida says that on be-
ing asked how far a certain place was, a
native replied; "Wall l reckon hits bout
two whoops. P'raps hit may be some
furder," he continued, rehectively, "but |
low hit amt more'n two whoops an a
holler." In Arkansas they will tell you it
is two looks and go-by, meaning you are
TO pass two houses and find your destina-
tion just hey ond the next. In other parts
of the West, il is said, the natives measure
distances in "chaws" of plug, and will tell
Won your destination is about two chaws"
away. The Scottish way is to say, "It's far
,ry,' meaning it is about as far as one can
shout, while in many cases distance is
measured in time, the German "stunde"
doubtless having its origin thus.

The welcome news comes this morning
that Spain has officially aud positively dis
claimed the offensive sentiments contained
in De Lome's letter This disclaimer
comes to our state department through a
letter addressed by the Spanish govern
ment to Minister Woodford. The letter is
broad and explicit in its terms, its temper
is friendly and concilatory, and our gov
ernment now regards the incident as salts
factorily closed.

II. E. Sumner, of Worcester, Mass,
who has just returned from a protracted
stay among the poor whites in the noun
taIns of South Carolina, declares that the
scenic beauties of that region are unsur-
pissed, nut that it is pitiful to see the ignO-
rance and degeneracy of the poor white
mOuntaineers. 1t is really question, he
says, as 10 which are lower in the social
scale-the "poor whites" or the ''niggers.'

Those who know the Vaccinations of
