A WAR MESSAGE.
Gov. Tanner, of Illinois. Sends Sensa-
tionaI Document to the Legislature.

Springfield, H., Feb. 1S.-Gov. Tan
ner Yesterday called on the Legislature
to authorize him to tender to the pres
ident of the United States 1.-The moral
and material support" of Illinois, Ito
prevent or punish any attempt at hos
tile invasion of our country"
This he did in message to the SEN
ate and house. In the senate the mes
sage came as a profound surprise.
While it was being read by the gov
ernor's private secretary there was the
deepest silence in the senate, and at
its conclusion there was a burst of ap-
plause from both sides. Following Is
the governors communications:
$50 the Honorable Senate: The
news of the calamity which has over
taken the United States battleship
Maine and it's ill-fated crew fills me with
grief and horror, and | assume that
the general assembly will by joint res
olution express the sympathy of the
people of this state for the gallant
dead and wounded of our navy and for
the surviving relatives.
81 am willing to believe that the loss
of the Maine was the result of inten-
tion, and trust that the investigation
ordered by our government may dem
onstrate that it was due to accidental
cause. In view of the uncertainty
which exists as to this point, it would
seem that before the legislature adj
;ourns sine die it should authorize the
executive to tender to the president of
the United States, on behalf of the
state of Illinois, whatever moral and
financial support may be necessary in
this emergency to maintain the honor
of the American flag and to prevent or
punish any attempt at hostile invasion
of our common country.
"JoHN X. TANNER, Governor
Both houses of the legislature unan-
imously adopted joint resolution in
dorsing the action of the governor in
issuing the message.

Frances Elizabeth Willard was born
in Churchville, n. Y, September 2s,

became professor of natural history
there in 1862 and was principal of Cen
esee Wesleyan seminary in 1S66-67.
The following two years she spent in
foreign travel. In 1S1l-74 she was pro-
fessor of aesthetics in Northwestern
university and dean of the woman's
college, where she developed her sys-
TEN of self-government, which had
been adopted by other educators. Miss

pepper and the poisonous jimson weed.
Any one of these plants may, therefore,
be grated on the stem of any other.
The discovery promises to be of the
greatest importance in the limited gar
den space of Europe. In America, where
land is not so thickly populated, there
is little object in such economy, but in
the truck gardens of the low countries
and in France it will doubtless prove to
be an extremely important economical
discovery. The farmers of these sec
tions may now raise crops both of to-
matoes and potatoes on the same land
at the same time.

Belknap Thinks IA Torpedo Caused 1t.

Boston, Feb. 17.-Rear Admiral George
Belkuap, L. S. n, retired, said yester-
day that he thought the Maine was
blown up by torpedo. Il do not see"
he said 'how an explosion of the for
ward magazine could have occurred.
The keys of the magazines are ALWAYS
kept in the custody of the captain. All
the ammunition is carefully cased,
mostly in the form of projectiles, ana
their explosion by themselves is next
to impossible" He said it was very
significant thing that the Name should
have blown up in that particular har-
Dor at this particular time.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

There are indications of progress at
last on the problem Of the abolition of
the grade crossings in Worcester. The
recent conference between the repre-
lsentatives of the citys commission and
| the officials of the engineering corps of
the Nashua Railroad, and the confer
| ence to be held some time during the
present week between the representa-
tives of the several railroads vitality in
terested in the question is proof con-
elusive that the railroad corporations
as well as the representatives of the
city council have engaged THE ponder
Gus question with more earnestness
than has been evident since the unsat-
| isfactory report and recommendation
of the superior court commission was
made known.
To have obtained reconsideration of
the whole problem, by the railroads
themselves, who were at first supposed
to be hostile to any plan other than
that recommended by the commission,
is an advance upon which the city may
well congratulate itself. 1t would
seem from the reopening of the case on
the part of the railroads, and these
conferences may be considered in this
| light, that the corporations are dis
posed to meet the municipal authori-
ties in the proper spirit, and join with
them FOR a satisfactory solution of the
great problem, which means. quite. as
much to the corporations. in a. financial
wax. as it does to the city.
/ It should be borne in mind by those
representing the interests of the city in
this matter, that the scheme of solu-
ton most satisfactory to Worcester,
not only of today but of the future as
well, is not unlikely to be without ad-
ditional cost to the city Other cities
| in Massachusetts have been confronted
with this phase of the grade crossing
question, and have been obliged to pay
more than the 10 per cent of the cost
! of the work, which is the share Of the
municipality as fixed by the grade
crossing act This has been the ex-
perience notably of Newton and Boston,
ton of the crossings have been so sat
isfactory in both of these cases that
little or nothing has been heard as to
the additional cost on the part of the
city.
Worcesters industrial and business
interests must be considered in the So
luton of this problem. There is too
much at stake that a makeshift scheme
should be adopted Simply because the
city is to escape with the expense limit
of 10 per cent. The men on the city's
commission are too closely identified
with the prosperity of the heart OF the
commonwealth to agree to a scheme
that will fail of approval from the gen
erations TO come. The cost of the prob
lem is not the most vital point at
stake. And few are the tax payers who
viii object to a more expensive scheme,
should it be the more satisfactory.

The industrial development Of Japan
during the decade is not the least won-
der of the century; and the progress
Of Japan in the art of ship building is
the most remarkable incident of this
development. Japan is today prepared
to build her own cruisers and battle-
ships She has just completed a dry
dock capable of receiving the largest
battleship that floats This is such a
dock as does not exist on either coast
of the United States. Japan is, in
short, preparing to take leading place
among the naval powers of the world.
Her attention has thus far been direct
ed largely to securing a navy, but it
will not be surprising if, at no late day.
the flag Of Japan shall float over a nu-
merous and flourishing merchant ma
rine. The nation that can build battle-
ships can build the ships of peace. The
Japanese are fighters, but they are
traders, too. 1t is possible they are
not so much to be feared in the battle
of guns as in the battle for supremacy
in ocean borne commerce.

A Duty no PERFORM.

The republican voters of this COM
monwealth have duty at the polls, in
November, that they should do sacred
ly. 1t is to see that none but repub-
lican congressman are returned from
this state. Every republican congress-
man sent to Washington is an endorse
ment of Mr.. Mckinley and rebuke for
unpatriotic politicians, who endeavor to
make political capital of a righteous,
successful war. and that against the
president to whose firmness, caution,
prudence and devotion in troublous
times, the country owes so much. To
be sure it will not be easy to elect a
republican congressman in the ninth
district, but there is hope even there.
Franz Hero Krebs is a brave leader
for such a strife. He will be as val
orous before the voters of the ninth dis
trict as he was before Santiago. Add
to his courage and his record, the en-
ergy of thorough canvass and he can
be elected, as he should be.

Useful Suggestions.

Yesterday afternoon the Woman's
Cub Browning class met at the house
of Miss Whiting, II Bowdoin street, and
arranged the work of the coming year.
Miss Whiting was elected leader, Mrs.
j. B. Stone secretary, and Mrs. Annie
r. MacMurray treasurer. 1t was voted
20 meet on Saturdays, Nov. and 10,
and Dec 10 and "a, at 1890 a. M, at

first meeting, Nov. 5. Nineteen ladies
Joined the class. All members of the
club who wish to become members of
the class are requested to signify their
intention to Mrs. MacMurray or Miss
Whiting az soon as possible.
After the business, the ladies re-
manned for little afternoon tea.
The class has engaged DIR. Philip S.
Moxom of Springfield to conduct Sc
ries of studies in 'Sordello." The course
will consist of ten studies, which will
be given Saturdays at 10 a. M, in the
Y. w. c. A. class room. on the follow
ing dates: Jan. T. "A, 81 and 2S; Feb.
L. II, IS and 25; March 4 and II. Course

tanned by club members on or before
Nov. IS, Of Mrs. MacMurray, SO Oak
avenue, or Miss Whiting, IA Bowdoin
street; any tickets remaining unsold
after that date may be purchased by
the public. The class is anticipating
this series of studies. which were given
last year by DIR. Moxom with great sue
cess to a Browning class in Springfield.
Those who heard DIR. Moxoms lectures
and readings before the Worcester
Woman's Club last year will not need
to be reminded Of the pleasure that is
in store for them.

/ tecting the first tee, stride two fair
rivals for championship honors Both
are tall. lithe-limbed short-skirted
bare-headed. The distinguishing fea-
ture of one is firm, keen mouth, ex-
pressive of determination and force;
of the other. crown of royal yellow
hair that challenges the sunlight and
wins the battle. Each is attended by
a correctly attired gentleman of fash
ion, who is going to cad for her. The
brunette with the firm mouth dips her
fair fingers into a bucket and brings
therefrpm a piece of-horrorS-Inudi
eyes, the ardor of the game is as great
as that; she does not shrink from the
touch of mud.) This piece of mud she
deftly squeezes into approved shape
and places it on the ground, denting 1t
on the top with a final pinch, so that
the cup thus formed may properly re-
ceive the ball. This done, the bru-
nette carefully selects a heavy driver
| from her caddy's bunch and proceeds,
in the lingo of the game, to address"
the ball. That is to say, she faces it,
with feet we'll apart, arms extended
ana shoulders squared. There is lit
tie nervous fidgeting, few preliminary
pendulum-like motions of the driver,
and then a swing! Swish! Spat! The
brunette has poised herself on her toes,
swung arms and hips and torso in one
concerted movement, and that ball has
scared straight and true, high into the
air. and falls, good one hundred and
| twenty yards away, within easy dis
lance of the next hole. 1t is perfect
shot, and a patter of hand-clapping and
chorus of braves rise from the club
house. The blonde athlete drives
well, may be not so well, but there are
cheers for her also, il only because she
is such an altogether harmonious crea-
ture to look at.
But the beautiful part of it is that
these bitter rivals, matched in deadly
| opposition for the most coveted prize
of the year stride off side by side, after
this first shot, to continue their game,
chatting and laughing together as if
they were two school girls off on a

PHILIPPINE CONGRESS.
A Large Majority Decides on the Annexa-
ton to American Republic.

San Francisco, Oct 22.-The United
States transport Rio De Janeiro, which
arrived here today, brought the follow
ing to the Associated Press, dated Ma
Mia, Sept %: The Philippine congress
has been in session since Thursday.
Sept. IS. The first thing that was de-
cided was that the Philippine republic
should not countenance any policy
whereby Spain would have anything
further to do with the islands, and
would resist by force of arms any such
measure. A vote was taken on the
policy of annexation to the American
republic, and annexation was decided
upon by large majority, some seven
out of eight voting in favor of annexa-
ton. Aguinaldo expresses himself as
personally in favor of annexation, add
ing that he does not think that the ma
tives generally will support such a
policy.

Sitting Bull, in discussing the recent
Indian outbreak in Minnesota, told
President Mckinley that there was no
longer any sense in the Indians trying
to fight the white men, as they were
sure to be whipped eventually. The old
warrior sized up the situation, but it
is just as well to remember not only
that the other Indians are not of the
same opinion, but that Sitting Bull
would probably think differently were
he free, instead Of a prisoner Of the
United States. But the old fellow told
one truth when he said that the white
men were crowding the Indians out of
existence. Uncle Sam has not made
