THE QUEEN REGENT
 DESERVES SYMPATHY.
She Would End the War If She Could, but the Poor Woman Is Help
 less In the Matter.


 Paris, July 26.-A special from Mad rid says this of the queen regents daily life during the present crisis:
 ePoor queen This is the exclamation often heard day after day, as matters grow worse and worse and as Spanish disasters repeat themselves I see her majesty looking careworn and anxious. Even her drives become fewerand fewer It would surely appeal to any mother in the world were she to see the way this queen mother each day seems to cling closer and closer to her boy as though to shield him from dangers closing about him with almost fatal force. It is very touching to witness it. Her worst enc. mics recognize ill the queen personal qualities worthy of the highest admira- tion. The queen used every means aS her disposal to prevent war Her great hope lay in Senor Moret and he would have carried his point but for Senor Gull len Today, and ever since the war be- gan, the great occupation of the queen is to find the quickest way for it's termi. nation. At many of the councils of late held in the palace the queen has burst into tears.

ONE OF THE PLANS
 TO BRING PEACE,
Gamazo VIII Conclude the Negotiations and Retire and New Cabinet
 Will Do the Rest.

Madrid, July 26.--A correspondent of the Associated Press had an interesting conversation with q person occupying high position in the queen regents household. He said the quarrel between Spain and the United States is much easier adjusted than generally believed. The queen regent, he continued, natu- rally endeavored to ayold war and also desires honorable peace. The official then added the important statement, saying:
 @The present government will not ini- tiate peace, but a modified cabinet, headed by Gamazo, will conclude the ne- gotiation and retire, and General Pola- vieja with a combination, including Se- nor Silvela and General Campos, will reorganize the country Everybody con- siders Spain should treat direct with the Americans, whose practical good sense will prevail over spread-eagleism. !"

IT is estimated by the authori- ties at Washington that the cost of the present war for one year will be i500, ,000, 900, says the Arhansas Democrat. Ut is quite evioent that the warefare of today though effec- tive is expensive. It's expensive ness is best shown by comparison with former wars. A Washington correspondent has made the com parison. Our war for independence lasted eight years, and it's cost is officially recorded as about$135, 900, GOO. There were about 310,000 troops engaged in that war--one- third more than have been called out in the presnt conflict with Spain It follows that accepting Mr. Ding ley's estimate of $500, 900, GOO year as the cost of the present war, it is going to cost four times as much to fight Spain for one year in 1898 az it cost to fight Great Britain for,the eight years from 1775 to 1783. The war of 1872, which lasted two years and eight months, cost the United States little over $1o7, 900, 900, and to carry it on we put in the field 576, ,000 troops, nearly three times as many as we now have under arms. The Mexican war. which lasted two years and three months, cost the American people $100, GOO, ,000, and ll2, 1000 troops were engaged in it. fthe number Of troops who carried our flag yictoriously to the capital of Mexico had been doubled, they would have about equaled the num- Der of the army now in the field against Spain, and the cost of their two years and three months of oper- atsons would have been only about s20G, saooa9 ,v00.

Floating Dry Dock Purchased.

Washington, July 26-Chief Endieott of the bureau of yards and docks has just returned from New York, where he succeeded in arranging for the purchase of floating dry dock, naval adjunct much needed at this time. A dock capable of lifting vessels up to a200 dis. placement, which will bring within its scope most of Sampson's fleet and a large number of auxiliary vessels. This dock is not sectional. but in one piece, so that it may be easily lowed to the point most available for naval use. The first journey will be to Key West, where the navy department found suitable site with plenty of water. The dock will be started on its way at the earliest possible moment

A Remarkable Cure.

MT. Alexander Moore, a reliable busi- ness man, of 12S0 s. 18th St, Philadel- phia, Pa, says: ''I contracted violent cold which settled all over me. The pain in my chest and side was excruci- ating. The doctor gave me medicine and blistered my side, but l only grew worse. Then you gave me bottle of Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith in it. but decided to try it. I took or good doses before bed time, and rubbed 1t we'll over my blistered side. That night slept like top-my first good rest for over a week-and awoke i'll the morning cured.

From the London chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
In truth, his mind went on growing al
most to the last, and a curious proof OF
this is supplied by the steady growth Of
his head. In his youth he had a small
head covered with a profuson of wavy
dark brown hair. This is shown by his
portraits, and I was told so by a lady who
knew him then--one OF those charming
Scotch ladies', now, 1 fear, extinct, who
spoke with a strong Scotch accent, yet in
manner so refined, and with a mien so
fun of high-bred dignity and old-world
courtesy, that their Scotch accent had a
music and charm peculiarly its own.
