Simplicity and purity are the two
wings by which a man is lifted above
all earthly things.
Simplicity is in the intention, purity
in the affection; simplicity tends to
God. purity apprehends and tastes
him.
No good action will hinder thee, IL
thou be inwardly free from inordinate
affection.
II thou Intend and seek nothing but
the will OF God and the good of thy
neighbor, thou shalt enjoy eternal lib
erty.
II thy heart vert right, then every
creature " ould be looking-glass Of
life and book of holy doctrine.
There is no creature so little and alb
ject that represents not the goodnss
of God.
A pure heart penetrateth heaven
and hell Such as everyone is inward
ly, SO he jpdgeth outwardly.
II there be Joy in the world, surely
a man of pure heart possesseth it.
And il there be anywhere tribulation
and affiiction, an evil conscience feels
it.
An iron put into the fire loseth its
rust, and becometh all bright like
fire, SO he that wholly turneth himself
unto God is purified from all sin and
changed into the likeness Of Cod
Thomas a Kempis.

WHAT DELAYED MESSAGE.
Opinion Favors The Havana Rather Than
Madrid Theory.

Washington, April THE most
careful investigation in official circles
tonight failed to develop anything in
support of the theory that the delay
of the presidents message was due to
the situation at Madrid, rather than at
Havana. When the announcement
was first made that the message
had been withheld, the inference was
drawn in some circles that the DELAY
was partly influenced by the action of
the queen regent, who was reported as
willing to yield everything demanded
by the United States, provided 1t could
be done without precipitating a popu-
lar disturbance in Spain Press dis
patches of pending cabinet crisis in
Madrid tended to confirm this. Those
closest to the president refuse to dis
cuss the Madrid situation further than
to say that there was no information
from that quarter, and no fresh nego-
tiations had been opened 1t is re-
ported the cruix of the situation was
in Havana. This was confirmed by
members of the foreign relation com
mittee, to whom this explanation had
been made in such form that they pro-
fessed themselves satisfied to accept 1t.

SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL.
President Mckinley Mas Hopes that War
May Honorably be Ayerted.


Washington, April Swift as
lannon's fash the Cuban question was
changed today. The galleries of con-
gress were crowded Senators and
representatives were anxious and agi-
tated, even the diplomatic corps was
in ferment, awaiting a message from
the president to the congress of the
American people that might mean a
war, when, with excitement at the
very highest, like an electric flash the
word passed that there would be no
message today. Its suddenness
stunned the people, who heard the
news in distorted forms, and amazed
veteran membe RS of congress. Ulti-
mately, it became known that not
only would there be no message today,
but no message this week, and that
there was a posi- bility that message,
though properly written and approved,
might not go to congress at all.
The first reason for the delay was
the administration had received ad-
vices from General Lee at Havana an
nouncing that Americans could not be
gotten off the island today and would
be in grave peril If the message pre-
coded their departure. The second
reason, and perhaps equally potent
with the other, slowly drifted into
public comprehension late in the day,
chiefly through the medium of pub
lished Associated Press dispatches
from Madrid, for extreme reticence
was maintained on the subject by the
few in Washington who knew the
facts-and even cabinet officers were
unadvised on the subject. This impor-
tant news was that the Spanish gov
eminent, after what plainly had been
most exciting times in inner Spanish
circles at Madrid, had decided to re-
open the case, closed so far as this
government was concerned, by the re-
fusal of Spain to make satisfactory
response to the representations made
order to avert impending war, and
had decided to make concessions here
tofore refused
What will be the final outcome, 1t Is
too early to say, but the aspect of af-
fairs certainly is considerably more pa
cific and suffi cient to renew the hope of
the president In solution of the Gu
ban question satisfactorily to the Amer
lean people and achieved without blood
shed. The details remain to be worked
out, but it is expected that between
now and Monday clearer light will
be thrown on the future by action at
Madrid, Of which one important fea-
ture at least is the declaration of an
armistice by the queen regent of Spain.
This armistice, it is expected, will lead
to ultimate independence of Cuba from
Spanish rule, but by what intermediary
steps perhaps the governing powers do
not at this time know Much, 1t is
supposed, will depend upon the Cuban
insurgents and the peoples of the two
countries of the United States and
Spain.
The uncertainty following a great
disappointment was the condition ex-
listing at the capitol at the close Of the
day, when the expected did not hap
pen. Senators and members were at
sea as to what was coming next.
