AN APATHY OF CONTENT
What Mr.. Mckee Says of the Present Re-
markable Campaign.
Democrats Seem Willing to Let the
Present Conditions Con-
tinue.

Mr.. Mckee, the journal clerk of the
House and associated with the republican
congressional committee, has just returned
from the.west He said to a Star reporter
today that he regarded this as the most
remarkable campaign he had ever known
and he has been associated with campaign
committee work for many years. He said
that from what he saw himself and what
he learned from talking with others it ap-
rears to him that the people could not be
aroused to any sort of excitement over the
campaign. They could not, as rule, be
got out in great numbers to attend politi-
cal meetings. and it was the greatest cam
for this was the people were satisfied with
the present conditions. Evidence of this
was found in the fact that the democrats
found greater difficulty than did the re-
pUblicans in getting their people to interest
themselves in the campaign.
An Apathy of Contentment.
"Our meetings" he said ARE being much
better ATTENDED than are those of the dem
ocrats. The apathy is that of contentment,
not of discomfort. L found in talking with
democrats that there are many who do not
take an interest in the campaign because
they are content that things should remain
as they are, ard they do not want at this
time to disturb business and general devcl-
opment by a change of the political com
plexion of the House. They are satisfied to
let things deI e!op on present lines. and, he
ing satisfied, they cannot be induced to
take an active part in the campaign. There
are a whole lot of things in the campaign
that you car only guess at, but the whole
tC ne of the situation appears to be that OF
cententment with the present adrninlstra-
ton and IN indispostion to make any
change that will interfere with the carry
ing out of the policy of the administration
II there We're any general dissatisfaction
the democratic voters would he active and
interested. but. as it is, they appear per-
fectly Indifferent.
Some sample States.
IN my own state, Indiana | think there
will be probably no change numerically IN
the representation of the two parties in
Congress. ] think the republicans will
carry the legislature by a small majority
Men l have talked with tell me that thu
situation in Iowa and Illinois Is about as
IL Is in Indiana, there being little interest
IN the campaign and no disposition 10 make
a change. The whole situation appears de-
cldeoly favorable to the republicans"

England Will Not Establish Proteo-

RESULT OF CABINET MEETING
Marchand Must Be Withdrawn
From the Nile.
HE IS A FOREIGN VISITOR

LONDON, October 2S.-There does not
seem to be the slightest ground for the re-
port of yesterday that the British cabinet
has decided to declare the protectorate of
Great Britain over Egypt. 1t was based
solely on a London dispatch TO the Paris
Soir. The papers do not comment upon the
statement made, and the st. James Gazette
alone alludes to the subject, urging the gov
ernmeit to adopt such Il course.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
summarizes the result of the meeting of the
British cabinet yesterday, as follows:
Marchnnd Must Withdraw.
l. Marchand must be Withdrawn uncon-
ditionaHy and no undertaking or promise
can he given to discuss the questions raised
by France in regard to access to the Nile
and such like.
= When Marchand is Withdrawn it will
be determined whether the questions raised
admit of discussion and under what condi-
lions the discussion can be proceeded with.
g. Every possible facility viii be adorded
to assist in Marchand's withdrawal by
whichever route selected.
f. If Marc hand is not withdrawn there
will be no interference with his remain
ing at FashOda, nor date fixed for ms
Withdrawal Necessarily reintorcements
will not be permitted to reach him. lie
will be treated courteously as = foreign Wis
3 Therefore it is left to France to adopt
any active measures to precpitate a con-
hct.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that ii has
good reason to believe that while RUSSIA
has counseled France to tide over tEc dill
aCuIty and avoid war she has promised to
throw he weight in the scale at no distant
late. for the purpose of bringing the Wh"le
Egyptian question and the British UccEFa-
tiOn of Egypt TO the front for settlement.

THE Scientific American of June 4
contains an article on the armored
cruiser in the navies Of the world
which shows that in the future that
type will be the prevailing one among
warships. The style of armored
cruiser which is gaining so much popu-
larity, however, is not found in our
navy. It is much larger and faster
than any we possess, containing the
essential features of cruiser and battle
ship. 1t is probably best Illustrated
by the Vizcaya (Spanish) which
reached New York harbor shortly after
the Maine disaster. The armament OF
the boat consists of 2 11.inch, 10 90
inch rapid fire guns and a number OF
the smaller guns, making total OF 70.
Her armor on the belt is II inches and
on the gun position 1915 inches Aside
from this she has maximum speed OF
over 20 knots an hour.
In this type of boats the Spanish
navy leads the world. The very cream
of SPANS navy, including her finest
armored cruisers, is now shut up in
Santiago. Egress is impossible. Ulti-
mately, probably before the end of the
month, Santiago must fall into the pos
session of this country. Of course
there is the possibility that Cervera
will sink his own boats before letting
them fall into our hands, but could
they be captured the prize would be an
almost priceless addition to our present
navy.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1898-06-09

TIE Spaniards have been pleased to
call the Americans towards. Possibly
this was their honest estimate of the
American soldier and citizen. If 80
and if visible proof is enough to con-
vince them to the contrary, at least
those at Santiago and with Cervera's
feet have changed their minds quite
decidedly as to the stuff that Yankees
are made of. Believing that the Yam
kee tars were afraid of shot and shell
it must have been a great shock to
the dons to see the huge collier Merri-
mac, under her own steam, manned by
crew of seven intrepid American
marines, commanded by Lieutenant
Hobson, making straight for the harbor
entrance in full view of ships and forts
and open to the combined fire of feet
and batteries. So brilliant an evidence
of heroism, unselish, patriotic, awoke
a storm of applause even from the
beleaguerd Spaniards, and could not
but awaken them to realization Of
the fact that American pigs are fear
less. Moreover the GOODNESS and pre-
cision with which Hobson and his men
performed their work, taking their
boat to that part of the channel where
it would form the most effective block
ade, carefully calculating the most ad-
vantageous position and then explod-
ing the she'll which sunk her, all as if
it were but an experiment done in the
peaceful waters of home, while the
enemy's guns were pouring shot and
shell upon them from all sides, must
have convinced the erring Spaniards
that the American pigs were not only
brave but possessed of that finest
quality of courage which does nothing
aimlessly and rashly but with pur-
pose and a cool determination. Such
were the men who sunk the Merrimac,
and they were chosen from thousands
who stood before Admiral Sampson
almost imploring that the danger
fraught undertaking be left to them.
All hail to Hobson and his crew, and
also to the heroic fellows who they left
behind.

FAILED TO RETURN.
Transient Gets Away With Valuable
Horse of Michael O'Hare's.

VI H4AChoOA " AAOSAS %
The police are busy today trying to
locate a man who drove away with a
valuable horse and buggy belonging to
Michael O'Hare, the liveryman. The
fellow went to the stable Saturday
morning and hired the rig, stating
that he was going out to Somers to
visit family named Smith. He paid
tor the rig and the2liveryman thought
nothing more about it until late in tie
evening when the horse failed to re"
turn. The police we're notified and tt Q
case was investigated and it was dis
covered that the1maD.went south. He
was traced as far as Fort Sheridan and
after passing this point all trace of him
was lost. The fellow has probably
reached Chicago ere this and the police
will have hard time finding him. He
claimed to be an employe of the tan
merry, but inquiry seems to show that he
was an old crook. The horse and
buggy was valued at about 1925.

MAN must needs with the process OF
time and events change some OF his
opinions Consequently many, and
the News is among them, who at the
beginning sincerely believed that the
United States could not consistently
retain possession of the Philippines
have Numerically changed their posi-
ton. 1t now becomes evident that
there is nothing else this government
can do. Notwithstanding we entered
upon the war with the sole purpose of
ousting tyrannical Spain from the
island of Cuba and establishing therein
a free and independent government,
the prosecution Of our purpose has
thrust responsibilities upon US, which,
indeed, it would be most inconsistent
for us to neglect. Among these newly
acquired duties is that given us by the
battle of Manila. The first step is
taken and it is plainly our business to
complete the undertaking by eXOnerat-
ing the Philippines from the same op-
preston which provoked our war in
Cubas behalf. To us as the champion
O civilization and humanity this labor
is assigned. It's difficulties will not
excuse US. The people of the United
States would undoubtedly prefer that
the cups might pass from them, but
only our own disgraceful negligence
can now bring that about. 1t is the
obligation placed upon us by our great
ness and the helplessness of our Pacific
prOtege to secure to her the blessings OF
peace and civilization.
1t is idle to talk of our inability to
satisfactorily govern these islands
should it finally appear that in that
way alone we could best serve the in
terests we boast to promote. We are
amply able to attend to the Philip
pines. 1t will of course be task al
the more arduous because of it's nov
city, but as we readily adapt ourselves
to new things it will not require much
time for us to work into this sphere.

TWO HORSES KILLED.
Another Accident Occurs on the Kenosha
Division of the Northwestern.

Another accident occurred this morn
ing on the Kenosha Division of the
Northwestern railroad which resulted
in two horses being killed and an
engine being battered up in such a
manner thai it en- hardly be repaired
The train was special repair train
consisting of an engine AID flat car,
on which was loaded a derrick to be
used in repairing bridge near Rock
ford. The train left this city a little
after midnight and had only gone a
short distance when the engineer and
fireman were thrown from the cab and
the engine plunged down into the
ditch along the side of the track. Sc
curing a lantern an investigation was
made and it was found that the engine
had struck two horses, both of which
were Instantly killed. The engineer
and fireman escaped with a number of
bruises and the brakeman received only
a bad shake up.
The two horses killed belonged to
Leonard Appleman, a farmer living
near the scene of the accident, and
were considered very valuable. They
haG been shut up in a field near by
but in some manner had gotten out
and on to the railroad track where
they were crushed by the train, which
was running at full speed. The owner
of the horses has already made a claim
against the company, claiming that the
cattle guards along the track were de
fective. The wreck train went out
this morning and brought the disabled
engine back to the city.

Saturday evening. After resting long
enough to catch their breath they were
asked as to how the path was. They
said it was in excellent condition and
claimed it to be one of the most mag
nifcent bicycle rides that can be had
in the state, and that nothing was more
enjoyable than a nice ride after the
weeks work was done and good bath
afterwards. They then said, " We can
90 to church tomorrow with a clean
conscience" When asked as to how
they got so much dust on their backs,
their smiling faces dropped, as though
Spanish cannon ball had struck them.
Then one of them said, my handle bar
became loose, of course [ fell and
he rode over me-" After brushing
themselves and having little refresh
ment, they oiled up their vehicles,
mounted, and with best wishes for a
more successful ride they departed.
