The Cabinet Members Wife.

The authorship Of the much-discuss-
ed elmer Experiences of a Cabinet
Members wife," printed in The LADIES'
Home Journal, will be revealed in the
June issue of that magazine, when
the name of Anna Farquhar will ap-
pear as the author. 1t is surmised
that the domestic experiences de-
scribed in these letters were those of
Mrs. w. III. Ell. Miller, wife of the At
torney-General in President Harri-
sons Cabinet since Miss Farquhar
is known to be a personal friend OF
the Miller family, and to have spent
considerable time with them in wash
ington during their official residence
there. The author of these letters
was born and raised in indianapolis.
in neighborly relations with the Har-
rison and Miller families, but for ten
wears past she has lived studious pro-
fessional life In New York, London
and Boston. She is now connected
with the editorial staff Of The Boston
Transcript. In addition to her "Cabi-
net Members Wife" letters she has
published one novel-"A Singers
Heart''-and another one is about to
be issued. She is young woman, ex-
ceedingly clever, and only her closest
friends have known her connection
with the Washington letters which
have attracted such wide attention.

Commodore Dewey's Brilliant
Campaign.
Manila Captured.

SPANS magnificent fleet of
eighteen war vessels that a week
ago proudly focked in Manila
harbor awaiting the coming of the
yankee fleet now lay at the bottom
of the sea shapeless mass of
ruins. The Pioneer Press thus
gracefully portrays the awful
scene:
The Asiatic Squadron of the
United States, Commodore Dewey
commanding, today engaged and
completely defeated the Asiatic
Squadron of Spain in the harbor
of Manila.
All the news of the great naval
battle thus far received is coming
from Spanish sources. This
shows conclusively that Manila
has not yet been taken by the
American forces and that the ca
BILE lines are still under control of
Spain.
From the fact that even the ad-
vices received from Madrid show
that the American warships Jared
the best there is hardly any doubt
that when complete details are OBJ
tainahle it will be learned that it
was crushing defeat for Spain.
Reports thus far are coming piece
meal. During the two engage
ments that took place Commodore
Montejo, commanding the Spanish
fleet, lost three of his largest
'ships. His flagship, the armored
'cruis er Maria Reina Christina,
and the armored cruiser Castillo
were burned, and the cruiser Don
Juan de Austria was blown up.
Several other Spanish vessels
were DaOly damaged.
Under the protection of the
guns of the Manila Notifications
the Spanish warships opened fire
on the American feet.
For several hours the harbor
resounded with the roar of guns,
the crashing Of steel and timbers,
the shrieks and groans of the
wounded. Thick clouds of smoke
at times almost obscured the OPP
posing fleets from each other.
The latest report is that Manila
hrs surrendered. We also cap
tured rich prise off the coast of
Cuba yesterday.

Anent the recent rigid enforce
ments of bicycle ordinances the
undersigned would like to ask why
other ordinances are not as rigid ly
enforced; for example, the one OF
selling intoxicants to minors. AL.
so to make our regulations still
more equitable, why not place a
time limit of say twelve miles an
hour on horse driving? Readers
doubtless know that the limit on
cycles is eight miles an hour.

They Now Do Business.

The State Farmers Mutual Hail
Insurance company, the new cor
porat1on composed of a number OF
Trempealeau's substantial bust
ness men and farmers have COM
piled with the laws of Wisconsin
and have their articles Of corpora
ton now on the file with the
state insurance commissioner at
Madison. It is strictly a farmer s
organization and will do business
all over the state on the
same plan as that of the farmers

safe to predict that it will be a
success and in a short time have
thousands of members.
All farmers wishing to join may
do so by paying two dollars for
membership and policy. An in

al plan can not help but work to
the good of the farmers. We

Save The Birds.

Last week THE TINES comment
ed briefly on the wholesale destruc-
tion Of the few quail spared by
the overflow, taking rs a text Il
paragraph from the southern Re
porter on the subject, The article
must have found n respon-
sive echo in the minds of its read
ers, Judging from the number of
commendatory illusions made to
il. Now comes the Water Valley
Herald with the following;
NEARLY every paper in North
Mississippi is complaining about
the scarcity of quail. The blame
is laid on the dogs that roam the
fields without hindrmce through
out the year, breaking up the nests
of the birds and preventing any
material increase. III mas Deeh
suggested that a tax be placed on
dogs sufficient to do away with
all the worthless ones, and to re-
strict the killing Of birds to two
months in the year" j."
Both suggestions are good, but
the difficulties of maintaini Q
law taxing dogs in this sectiol
seem to make them of no effect.
The habit of eating birds eggs is
like that of sheepkilIing. Once
learned the worthless cur makes
it regular profession, and de
stroys hundreds of eggs in one
season.

Comments Of the London Times.

London, March The Times
editorially says this morning; If
Spain is placed in an awkward
position respecting the Lee Incl
dent she must thank the indiscre-
tion Of her foreign office. She
cannot blame President Mckinley.
Mr.. Cannon bill can hardly be
explained by the Lee incident. 1t
is probably due to therumors that
Spain is purchasing war vessels.
We do not believe that Spain de
sires war, but if she does this evil
dence OF American alertness offers
4 most etfectual check. President
Mckinley appears to be adhering
Loyalty to the policy Of frmness,
caution and pacific circumspec
ton he has hitherto pursued. No
doubt he has the support of the
sober and conscientious mass of
the American people, but he has
had ITO face outbursts of popular
clamor that a weaker man might
have mistaken for the voice of the
country. The completely of the
Spanish government in the Maine
disaster is a hypothesis too mon
strous and irrational to be enter
tanned between Spain and America
while the intractable nature of
Cuban disorders cannot but in
spire thoughtful Americans with
a serious doubt as to the wisdom
of annexation.
