Any Anti-Amcricnn Combination
Will he FroSncd Down.
London, April 1.-THE Daily Chron-
icle. taking it for granted that there is
some truth in the reports of n new
European concert for coercion, devotes
an editorial to urging England not to
join. 1t says: Our concern is to see
that England is not once more dragged
at the heels Of despots and made to
play the game of the latest Of the rot
ten tyrannies that cucumber the earth.
We have good reason to say that there
are strong friends Of America in the
present government and we hope Lord
Salisbury is one of them, but it is i'm
portant that the feeling Of the country
should be adequately represented both
in London and in Washington.
"Our present purpose is to insist that
our government does it's best by using
every means in it's power to defeat any
anti-American combination. If there
be any doubt about the feelings Of the
great majority of the nation we shalt
be happy to try the experiment OF
marching hundred thousand London
ers through the metropolis with the
union jack and the stars and stripes in
combination. 1t is the business of the
mother country to stand by her chill
dren of the West as stiffly and strong
ly as one country can by another"
Other London papers have editorials
in similar strain.

Washington. April 17.-scvcral inn
portant and decisive steps in the work
of war preparations were taken by the
navy department. 1t was decided to
assign the naval reserves of New
York. New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Maryland and Michigan to the five
auxiliary cruisers hereafter to be
known as patrol boats. These ships
are the Prairie, the Dixie, the Yankee,
the Yosemite and either the Venezuela
or Yorktown, the latter of which was
purchased yesterday. The question Of
the American line steamers was also
wound up With the decision to charter
all four of them, the st. Louis, the st.
Paul, the Paris and the New York.
The first two mentioned have already
been acquired by the department,
though the form of acquisition was
tentative, the department being unde-
cided whether it would purchase these
two only or charter all four. With the
announcement that these magnificent
ships had been added to the auxiliary
fleet came the statement that the de-
partment also had purchased the York
town of the Old Dominion line and the
Iumuri of the Ward line. With these
additions the fleet of converted vessels
now includes the pick of the ocean
liners and coasting steamers running
under the American flag. AS in all
instances the prices paid were with
held by the department.
Wcrsllips and Torpedo Boats,
But of greater moment than any of
these developments was the reopening
of negotiations for the purchase OF
two warships and several torpedo
boats from Chile and Argentina. One
OF the cruisers is the Chilean O'Hig-
gins. just completed at an English
yard and regarded as one of the most
formidable of her class afloat. These
negotiations are being conducted
through Mr.. Charles Il. Flint of New
York, who has large commercial and
financial interests in both countries.
Mr.. Flint held extended conferences
with the secretary and other officials.
While Mr.. Flint would not say how
far the negotiations had progressed, lie
intimated that the international af-
fairs of Chile and Argentina We're as
Stunning such q satisfactory shape as
to warrant the presumption that they
We're not averse to parting with a por-
ton of their navies.
Orders have been iis.suel to the naval
reserves Of Massachusetts. Maryland,
Michigan, New York and New Jersey
to hold themselves in readiness for
duty on the patrol ships. 1t is the in.
tention of the department to shape all
matters for an emergency, but the
militia will not actually go into service
aboard the ships until it is certain that
hostilities are to come. The patrol
ships will be assigned to the Atlantic
coast line and form a part of the gen
cral plan of coast defense.

Spring is the !. Tine I
When Impurities IN the Blood

Amerlca's Greatest Medicine T. the
Best Spring Medicine.
In winter months the perspiration, -
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impuri-
ties that should have been expelled
through the pores Of the skin. This and
other causes makes the blood impure In
spring. Boils, pimples, humors and
eruptions then appear or some more
serious disease may take its start. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the remedy for impure
blood in all its forms, as proved by tts
marvellous cures of blood diseases. II 70
therefore the medicine for you to take
in the spring. 1t expells all humors, and
puts the whole system in good condition
for warmer weather.

They Are Conflicting, with Both
Sides Confident.

FARGO, N. D., Nov. THE situa-
tton is practically unchanged so far as
external Indications go, and late this
afternoon the state committees Of both
parties were confident of success. Snow
furries tonight, with prospect of bad
weather tomorrow, make some Repub-
licans believe it will affect their ma
Jor1ties, but they say II is only a ques-
tion Of majority with The head of the
ticket. 1T is not now believed that
over $4,000 votes will be cast, perhaps
less. Bad weather affects the vote on
the slope, as polling places are far
apart and the country sparely settled.
The slope is Republican stronghold
and controls the majority to some ex-
tent. The Republican state commit
tee banks ON $500 to 45e0 The fusion
committee claims 1000 to 5000 major
ity, except on Schafer, superintendent
OF schools. They feel jubilant over
prospects of bad weather and recent
reports. Young, of Penlbina, Repub-
ltcan candidate for the supreme court,
will probably run 1000 behind his
ticket. Republicans claim q majority
of at least fourteen, possibly twenty.
on joint ballot in the legislature. Dem
ocrats coulcede a Republican majority,
but claim 1t will be much closer. In

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 7.-Justice r
G. Whiting, Democratic candidate for
governor In Michigan, wound UP his
campaign tonight by addressing a big
Detroit mass meeting. The congress
man expressed great confidence as, in,
deed, he has for several days past, in
his expectation of defeating Gov. Pin
gree. Democratic state committee of.
f1cfals predict that the disaffection
among old line Republicans against
Gov. Pingree will assure his defeat, and
they assert that Democratic votes for
Pingree will be few and scattering
They are not claiming the balance OF
the state ticket with any marked de,
gree of confidence, but they expect to
elect half of the twelve congressman,
an increase of four over the present
number Of Democrats.
At Republican state headquarters IL
was stated that Gov. PingTee would
receive as large q vote proportionately
as he did two years ago, when his
plurality ram up to 83,400. The RepuIb-
hcan leaders, while admitting that a
few thousand Republican votes will go
to Whiting, assert that the Democratic
votes which Pingree will receive will
outnumTber the Republican votes he
may lose by two to one. The Repub-
licans claim about all the congressman,
and, also, the legislature, by a majority
of two o-thirds and upwards.
