Speaker Reed announced the vote on the
bill TO arm the President with $500OO0OO to
put the country on war footing. This re-
suit might have been reached at 1890
o'clock instead of 4:45 this afternoon but
for the desire of the Southern Democrats
to make speeches. Republican leaders were
for putting the bill to vote without
word of debate, and some of them even ad-
vocated the plan of making the perform
ance more impressive still by taking a vote
behind closed doors, as was done when the
declaration of war was made in 1912. Gov
ernor Sayers and other Democratic leaders
fought SO hard for the Southerners that the
programme was arranged to please them.
This was the first patriotic occasion that
had been offered which they could accept,
in thirty-eight years, to raise their voices
for the old flag, and they did not propose
to be cheated out of the opportunity, and,
in sober truth, they made the most Of the
chance. The were nightly in evidence, and
beat all records for enthusiasm and pro-
testations of loyalty and love of country
and in expression of confidence in the Pres
ident, in whose hands they were free to say
they felt the honor and dignity of the Re-
public were perfectly safe. 1t was theif
greatest regret that they could not make
it $1OO, 900 OOO 500 OOOO 900 or $500 100000 in
stead of a paltry $5O,0OOO0O. At the
conclusion Of the oratory the South stood
pledged to send host of soldiers in the
event of a war with Spain, and it is on
record, through its representatives In Con-
gress, with a wonderful tribute to the hon.
esty, sagacity. sound judgment and patriot
ism of President Mckinley Considering
the fact that about hundred speeches
were made in the four hours talk, the de-
bate was singularly free from inharmonious
incidents. Jones, of Virginia, referred to
the Old Dominion the State that had pro-
duced those grand characters, George
w
Bingham, of Philadelphia, rasped the SEN
sibilities of the Southerners by comparing
the Cuban atrocities to the horrors OF Libby
and Andersonville, but these incidents did
not long mar the swelling harmony of the
performance. The speeches delivered by
the Republican members were on the same
lofty plane as those made by the Southern
ers, but couched in less extravagant
phrase. perhaps. on the general average.
ahe spirit and sentiment was the same all
along the line. Partisanship was eliminated
for once. and there was generous rivalry
as to who could give utterance to express
sions of strongest Endorsement of the ad-
ministration In an emergency that every
body hoped might have peaceful conclu-
sion. but which everybody recognized might
result in bloody and costly war.

When Mr.. Cannon took the floor to open
the debate on the bill there was a hush.
He spoke calmly and briefly, Hexplaining
that the items in the bill, save the last,
were strictly deficiency items Coming to
the all-absorbing item, he said that in the
present critical condition of affairs the COM
mittee had deemed it wise to appropriate
this sum, placing its expenditure in the
complete discretion of the President. He
referred to the fact that the committee had
been unanimous in its action, and had only
changed the wording of the bill he intro
duced yesterday by making the appropria-
ton available until Jan. /, 1899, instead Of
June 80, 1S99 This, he pointed out, would
give the administration funds over the time
of the probable adjournment of Congress.

he continued, 'and, therefore, there is not

WASHINGTON, March S.--Arrangements
Were perfected at the Navy Department to-
day for the relief Of the dispatch boat Fern
at Havana by the cruiser Montgomery, or
Admiral Sicard's squadron now at Key
West. The Montgomery will relieve the
Fern tomorrow morning so that the latter
vessel may arrive at Key West Wednesday
evening in ample time to receive the food
supplies from New York, which are due
there on that day. There will be no delay in
the departure of the Fern on her errand of
mercy. The Fern has been stationed at Ha-
vana since day or so after the disaster to
the Maine and her principal function for
the last week or ten days has been as a
practical floating dock for the use Of the

KEY WEST, Fla, March S.-The United
States cruiser Montgomery finished coaling
this afternoon and sailed for Havana at
$40 o'clock Her magazines are full OF
ammunition, but she will probably not need
it, for her mission is one of peace. she will
replace the dispatch boat Fern, the latter
vessel having been ordered here to take
provisions to the starving reconcentrados
of Cuba. Commander Converse, of the
Montgomery, was ashore during the day.
and received instructions from Admiral
Sicard None of the crew of the cruiser
fear the fate of the Maine will befall their
ship, for they believe the Spanish authors
ties are now thoroughly alarmed at the
prospect of war with the United States,
and will use extraordinary care that no
harm comes to another American war ship.
Brigadier General John M. Wilson, chief
of engineers, U. s. A., arrived here to-day
from Tampa on board the Ollvette. General
Wilson, it is understood, will return to
Tampa on to-morrow's boat and will IfQt
visit the Tortugas. According so officiaa
authority, he is here merely to gain some
slight relaxation from his labors in en-
gineering undertakings on st. Johns river,
Florida. On the other hand, it is reported
that his coming had been anticipated for
several days, and that he will inspect two
land batteries, recently finished, and get
a general insight into the condition of the
fortifcations here. He had long convsrsa-
tions this evening with Rear Admiral Si-
card and the officer in charge of the local
land batteries now nearing completion.
Preparations have been made at the bar
racks to receive General Wilson tomorrow.
In the event of his failing to visit the Tor
tugas it is certain that he win rulty discuss
the possibilities of offense and defense OF

The receipt of news that Representative
Cannon's bill appropriating $5O,OOOOOO for

gas will receive good share Of the

this morning, arrived here this afternoon.

Captain Everett, of the wrecking tug
Right Arm, was very reserved con-
cerning the work he had done at the wreck

that it is now doubtful if the big guns can
be saved, so fast is the wreck sinking in
the mud of Havana harbor.

this in regard to his pyrotechnic bril- liancy. In the matter of steadiness be is not, of course, comparable to that king of chess.
 It is altogether probable that his first appearance and his introduction to American chessmen will be at the Manhattan Chess club, New York The members here are preparing for re-. ception and series of games in his honor some time in October. After this Janowski will make triumphal tour, visiting Philadelphia, St. Louis, Montreal, Boston, and, in all proba- bility, Albany and Baltimore There are likely to be enough games with this noted European to keep the chess clubs of the country busy for a number of months.
 Janowsl1i is a Pole who has lived In Paris much of his life. Very little is known about him personally. save that he is rather small man, of dark com pleXion and dark mustache and pe- culiarly Polish characteristics. He has been playing in the international tournaments for the last ten years, and one particularly interesting fact about his playing is that despite his dash and his sparkle he plays a very conservative game when he finds him self seriously in difficulties.
 He was unplaced at the great tour nament at Hastings in the early eos. At Leipzig in 1894 he was sixth, at Nuremberg in 1896 fifth, at Buda- Pesth in 1896 fourth Giving with Schlechter), at Berlin in 1897 fourth. In this years tournament at Cologne he was unsuccessful for some reason and got only ninth place, but in the Vienna tournament last August he re- deemed himself and finished third on the list, with a score of 2515 wins out of a possible 35, Tarrasch and Pillsbury tieing for first place on 271a, Steinitz being fourth with 23A. Lasker did not enter this tourney. Janowski's prize was $625.
 Expert judges to-day place the chess players of the world in this order: Las ker, Pillsbury, Tarrasch, steinitz, Tchi- gorin, Janowsl1i. IF a recent issue of the British Chess Magazine there was this comment on his late achieve ments: "He will one day, we believe, rise to the highest point in the realm of chess"

Although She Was from Boston She Cared Not for a Higher sub-

Notwithstanding her nose turned up, thers were specs on 1t, and she was from Boston. which may be considered to be competent testimony that heredity isn't everything. She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot spell and the first young man she met was one who brides himself on his intellectuals. Whether anyone else does or not is another story. As it happened, the young man had an opportunity shortly after the meeting to talk with the young woman alone, and he did not fail to throw few brains at her.
 An, Miss Sophia, he said, with soulful yearn in his gentle voice, 'T presume you at- tend several of the numerous schools of phil osophy in which Boston is so rich and Brook. lyn is so poor?"

 Indeed, and do you feel no interest in any of the concepts of modern philosophic thought?7

 It is not Janowsh's ranking that will make all chess lovers anxious to see his games, however, but the mans brilliancy of execution. No man in the world is Janowsli' s equal in sensation al playing. He continually does won- derful things. He plays game indif- ferently for hours, and all but loses it, when the Tuck" commences to change. \ single move, or at the most two, has altered the entire situation. Janowski has evolved some remarkable combi- nation, some scheme that was hither- to inconceivable, has made game that was lost III a moment won.
 Were he as great match or tourna- ment player, proportionateiy as he is on occasion he would lead the world of chess. Some think he may become master of the world yet. They speak of his increasing steadiness, of his bet ter tournament play the last four or five years. As matter of fact, the records and scores of the great inter national tournaments do show a con tinuously better placing of Janowski. He stands much higher as a tourna ment man than he did, and he has ac- complished this without losing a tithe of his brillianey.
 The matches he plays in this coun- try will therefore be watched with the greatest interest. Outside of the com ing of Lasker some years ago America has not had such a distinguished chess visitor for very long time Janowski Is compared by those that know his European record and are acquainted with his play to the famous Morphy,
