most 6f those who talked with McKin-
ley was that congress was inclined to
object to further delay towards a settle
ment OF the Spanish situation, and that
unless the next message was more def
mite the radical members could not be
held in check. At the meeting Of the
senate committee on foreign relations
tomorrow Senator Frye will move that
the committee remain In continuous
session until the questions relating to
the Maine, Cuba and Spain are settled.
Foraker will introduce today a resolu-
ton recognizing the independence Of
Cuba.
Neither Speaker Reed. Dingley (the
floor leader Of the majority, nor Bailey
(the Democratic leader Of the house,.
would make any comment on the mes
sage. Other members, however, were not
so reticent. Their comments ranged all
the way from approval Of the message
out-and-out to entire disapproval Of the
fact that 1t did not propose war imme-
diately, falling complete back-down
by Spain. Hopkins Of Illinois favored
Intervention at once. Lands Of Indiana
was equally radical. Many OF the men
interviewed were non-committal. Dem

OUR DEMANDS UPoN SPAIN.

Now Declared to Have Been Very Positive
-Spain's Reply Energetic.
London. March 29.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail gives a
version Of the negotiations between
United States Minister woodford and
the Spanish cabinet last week differing
somewhat from that given by The
Standards Madrid correspondent. He
says: The note which General Wood
ford presented on Wednesday was of a
comminatory nature. It demanded
that Spain put an end to the war in
Cuba Immediately. recapitulating the
damage to American interests. and fur
ther limiting that the war was a danger
to the public health of the United
States. the continual smuggling be-
tween the coasts of Cuba and Florida
being the means of conveying the yell
low fever.
"Spain's reply was energetic. It de-
clares that the war would have been
ended long ago. but for the material
and moral help and support the rebels
were continually receiving from the
United States. The Spanish note COM
plains OF the policy followed by the
United States in demanding from Spain
the termination of a war which the
United States were virtually maintain.
Ing by the presence OF a squadron in
the neighborhood of Cuba. and by Or
ganizing succor for the reconcentrados
In manner that would be offensive tc
any nation, as well as by keeping in
Havana a consul who is publicly the
agent ard representative of the rebels
Public opinion rejects all idea OF
yielding and apparently neither desires
nor fears war with the United States
Yet Spain knows she is confronted
with the most serious conflict she has
had TO face since the Napoleonic wars
There Is an ominous absence of excite.

is the possibility of war. 1t is the calm

SPAIN IN MOURNING
Public stunned by the Loss Of the
Colonies.

London, Aug. 10.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Daily Mall says:
The comments Of the press on the pro-
locOl are yeritable funeral hymn on
the destruction OF the Spanish colonial
empire. Some days ago, tho desire
for peace made the people close their
eyes to the price, but now, upon read.
ing the protocol, they realize that the
cost 10 the loss Of that empire which
Spain had conquered with so much
glory, and that Spain now falls to the
second rank among nations. The pub
lie mind is stunned and there is general
mourning.
Generl Blanco telegraphs that Hay.
ana is greatly agitated by the news OF
the signing Of the protocol, and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn the
conditions, which have not yet been
published. Some uDeasiness is felt
regarding the effec. that the text oI
the protocol may have on the Spanish
volunteers in Havana.
Many newspapers express grief and
despair that the men who brought dis.
aster to Spain by lack of foresight, or
ganization and ability, should continue
to govern the country.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 16.-A terri.
BILE cloudburst, in which at least 20
lives are known to have been sacrificed.
was last night visited upon the COM
munity OF Beach Creek. about l5 miles
north Of Rogersville, Tenn. which
place is so miles distant from Knox
Vile. The torrent of water fell in the
vicinity Of the home Of William Figan,
q well-to-do farmer. and his entire
family, vito and five children. We're
drowned, and washed away with the
food. Figan, however, escaped. The
deluge OF water carried with it every
other human being within its reach.
but the only names of the lost reported
here up to late hour tonight, in ad-
dition TO the Figan family, are John
Arnold and Samuel Henry and wife.
These people resided within quarter
of mile Of tho Figan home. This in
formation was received in this city by
friends of the deceased.
Searching parties have been formed
and are tonight looking for the bodies
OF the unfortunates who perished in
the food. It is, however, feared that
they have been carried to graves from
which they may never be recovered.
The cloudburst destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of property.
Whole crops were washed away and
palatial homes suffered the same fate
as the humblest hut in the path of the
food.
II has been impossible to commune
cate with the stricken community from
this city on account of the fact that all
wire communication has been inter
rupted. The complete details, of the
catastrophe are, however, expected by
tomorrow night, coming by mail. The
reports received up to late hour to-
night make it the most terrible affair
Of its kind experienced in this section
for many years.

number of men all engaged in the
same business choose to form a
combination and do business,
neither law making bodies nor
courts can stop them.
But in spite of this, there is one
thing that in the course of time
will put An end to trusts in so far
as they are intended to benefit
only the individuals that compose
them. The time will come when
they will be absorbed by the peo-
pie !; that is, they will be run by
the government in the interest Of
the whole people. There is a gen
eral underlying idea in the minds
of the people that competition is
good for business. This is wrong.
1t is cooperation that produces
and sells at the lowest cost, and
that is why trust can sell cheap
er than large number of sepa
rate institutions can do, even in
spite of the sharpest competition.
When the people all learn this, as
they will when every line Of busi
ness has gone into combination,
then they will conclude that since
competition has been destroyed,
they would as we'll become the
I-
permit all the profits to go to a
very few. In other words, the
tendency Of all civilization is
toward socialism, and the trusts,
which are an expression of the
very essence Of selfi.hness, are
the strongest factor yet developed
in the ultimate establishment OF
socialism.
