perfect health. Miss Mather's stage ca
reer has been a brilliant one. for though
she never rose 10 great heights as an
actress she was identified with several
substantial successes, and was recognized
as a prominent star. She first made her
appearance i'm stellar roles at FOrd's
Opera-House. in Baltimore, about ten
years ago. and has always held warm
place in the p4bll- -Lmation.

Talk With C. R. Flint.

Washington, March 20-A reporter
asked Charles r. Flint today after his
conference with the President if he could
say whether or not the United States had
secured possession of the Chilean ship
O'Higgins and the argentine ship San
Martino, but he declined to make any
statement, as to that particular feature OF
the subject. When pressed for some in
formation in regard to the matter he re-
plied
"Both Chile and the Argentine Repub-
lie have the warmest friendship and admi-
ration for the United States and her insti-
tutions. Neither country is anxious to sell
their ships to this government, basing this
indisposition on the belief that we have an
excellent navy of our own. They want
these vessels themselves. If the time
should come, however, when it was ap-
parent that the United States needed these
vessels they would gladly part with them
to u.s."
The attention of Mr.. Flint was called to
the published report that the United
States would purchase the Brazilian tor
pedo gunboat Tuby, but this, he said,
would not be done, so far as he was aware
as there were no negotiations under way
to that effect.

for hostility between England and Amer
ica. who are nations of one blood, one
language and one common love of free,
constitutional government.
Augusta, Ga, which was Bryanite, free
silver city in 1896 has recently sold $780,
600 of its new bonds to bear 80 per cent
interest. These bonds were sold to pay
off old bonds that were bearing 7 per cent.
Mr.. Bryan was recently in Georgia trying
to make the people believe that money is
scarce and high. This sale of bonds by
the city of Augusta gives emphatic de-
NAL to the Bryanite theories.
President Mckinley has nominated Gen..
stith Boiling for the postmastership at
Petersburg. The President could not
have honored man that would have
given more general satisfaction to the Re-
publicans of Virginia. There is no nicer
gentleman or better Republican in the
State than Gen Boiling

BaItimore's Defenses.

Baltimore, March 20.-A large force of
men has been employed today at Haw-
kins and North Point placing in position
the heavy guns and otherwise strengthen
ing the Notifications.
1t looked like war times at North Point
where a hundred workmen acting under
military orders pushed the work along as
rapidly as possible. 1t is expected that
within a week the batteries will be salts
factorily arranged and the coast defenses
completed.
At Fort McHenry over forty new men
have been accepted, although twice that
number made application. Colonel Will
liston, who will take charge of the local
Notifications, visited Fort McHenry this
afternoon and expressed his satisfaction at
the manner in which the work has been
carried on.
The Maryland knights, comprised en-
tirely of Russian Hebrews, issued an ap-
peal today to all their countrymen here,
calling on them to remember that America
is now their adopted country and that it is
their duty to fight. They announce that
they are ready to receive recruits and will
ACCEPT any able-bodied Russian until a
thousand men shall have enlisted.

Sanitary Needs.

fthere is a sanitary committee which

we suggest that it 60 to work and see that
the the town is put in good sanitary
condition before warm weather comes.
Pig. pens are already beginning to send
forth their unpleasant and unhealthful
odors. 1t is questionable whether pig pens
should be permitted in town at all. Ger
tainly those that poison the atmosphere of
an entire neighborhcol with their disa-
greeable ehuvia ought not to he allowed.
There are some of that class in the town,
and persons walking along certain streets
are met with noxious eXhalations that are
almost sickening.
There are other things in the town that
may need strict sanitary surveillance, and
the authorities cannot be too diligent in
exercising the power and responsibility
with which they are invested.

"BE READY FOR ACTION"
Significant Orders Received by the
BrookIyn's Officers.

Newport News, Va, March 22.-A
number of officers and men from aboard
the cruiser Brooklyn, now lying in the
river here, were ashore to-day. One Of
the officers in an interview said:
Significant instructions, the nature Of
which am not permitted to divulge, have
been received here, which point almost
certainly to war. There is no longer doubt
in the minds of the officers as to the ma
ture of the report of the board of inquiry.
"Outsiders cannot possibly have any
idea of the enormous preparations now
going on at the navy yards and on war
ships, and 1 believe these preparations
mean that vigorous campaign will be
inaugurated against the Spaniards on their
refusal to pay an indemnity. The actual
instructions issued to the commanders of
The three divisions of the feet now assem-
bling are now on a war basis. BE ready

"The most damaging feature to the
Spanish claim of an internal explosion is
the fact that the supply of gun cotton on
the Maine was found by the Spanish di-
vers in perfect condition and was so pre-
sented to the court ofinquiry. When this
fact became known among naval officers,
all idea of the accident theory was aban-
doned ("

THE SMALLPOX SCARE.
Town 0uarantined Against a Number of
Points.

There has been such a scare in our
town about the smallpox that most per-
sons have taken the precaution to protect
themselves and their families by vaccina-
ton. The town council has also ordered
and is enforcing as completely as it can a
most rigid quarantine against all points
where the disease is said to be or is likely
to exist We have quarantine in force
against all points west of Richlands on the
Clinch Valley Division of the n. 4 w.
Railway, and against Pocahontas and the
coal mining regions of the Elkhorn exten-
ton. 4 guard has been at the depot, one
on the street car line opposite Tazewell
College and one at the street car switch at
the head Of Tazewell Avenue. These pre-
cautions may be unnecessary but they are
very wise We hardly think, with the
care that is being exercised, that the loath-
some disease is likely to reach the town.
The warm weather Is very favorable to its
Suppression in the infected districts, and
the disease is in such mild form that we
may expect to see ii soon conquered.

WAR WILL COME IN ANY EVENT.
This Opinion is Now General in Both
Houses of Congress.

Washington, March 22.-The public will
not officially receive the report of the
Maine board before Monday next, and
possibly for a day or two later. This state
ment was authorized by Secretary Long at
the close Of the cabinet meeting today.
The report will arrive on Thursday and
will form the sole topic at the regular Cab
met meeting on Friday.
The President has finally determined to
send the entire report to Congress, accom-
panied by simple letter of transmittal. If
the present programme can be carried out,
the report will be referred to the foreign
relations committee in both houses and
day or two later the President will send
message on the general Cuban question, in
which he will announce his plans for end
ing the war.
The Republican leaders have urged on
the President that there is no especial rea-
son for recognizing the independence of
Cuba and it is said that the President has
formed new plan which he contemplates
sending with a message, relative to caring
for the suffering Cubans and stating that
Spain has been informed that relief will be
sent as the United States sees fit and that
we will stop barbarites at any cost.
1t is feared, however, that the radical
Cuban element in Congress will object and |
may bring on declaration of war. In
Congress the President sees his greatest
danger
More than one Senator and Representa-
tive has in his pocket resolution declar-
ing war. Conferences are in progress all
day to have the Presidents plan 60
through. OF course, if the report inti-
mates that Spain is responsible for the
wrecking of the Maine war will come, but
the opinion is general in Congress that war
will come in any event.

POPULISTS PARTY WEAKENING.
Leaders Refuse the Nominations on
State Ticket.

Atlanta, Ga, March 20 (SpeciaD The
Populist party of this State which claims
the leadership of that organization in the
Union because of its possession of Tom
Watson, is going to pieces. Its State con-
vention last week nominated Mr., Watson
for the Governorship with full State
ticket. Although Watson has been the
ardent opponent Of fusion of all kinds, this
convention placed on the ticket with him,
names of men of all parties. Preceding
the convention, Mr.. Watson had emphatic
ally announ ced that he would not accept
office of any kind. The reasons leading
up to his disgust with politics were the
successes gained by mere office seekers in
