Mr.. OLNEY'S BOOMLET.
Ex-Secretary Of State Is Said tO be a
Candidate iOr the Presidency.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 22.- e.. 80
Journal says: That a movement is
under way to make eN-Sccrc tary of
State Richard OinCy the democratic
candidate for president next year is
revealed in letter from Boston to the
Journal
"Mr. Olneys campaign is based on
the theory that he is in favor OF i'm
perialism while opposed to annexation.
The writer of the letter referred TO
is very prominent in democratic poll
tics and he says the movement in Mr..
Oney's favor is well under way. It is
urged in his behalf that he, though a
gold democrat in 1896, did not make
himself obnoxious to the free silver
element, while on the expansion ques-
tion he would be an available candi-
datebeing opposed to the annexation of
distant islands to the territory of the
United States. Mr.. Olney's views on the
acquisition of foreign territory are very
pronounced. He believes in the Uni
ted States striving with other nations
of the world for commercial greatness,
but not for political expansion"

THEY WAN. TEN MILLIONS.
Delegates from Cuba's Military ASSEM-
bly, Arrive In WashingtOn-Are Not
Modest In Their Demands.

Washington, March 29.-Senors Jose
K. Nillalon and \. Hevia, who were APP
pointed by the Cuban assembly to pre-
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolution of that body, have arrived in
this city. Their mission, in addition
to the presentation of the resolutions,
is to explain in detail the situation
with reference to the insurgent army.
While the assembly did not reject the
S3,0OO,00O which Gen. Gomez arranged
with Robert =. Porter to receive and
pay off the Cuban troops, they believe
it to be entirely inadequate to meet the
situation. They desire at least $1O,-
100000 and as much more as can be OBJ
tanned.
They argue that if the Cuban army
is diSbanded the distribution of but
S3,000,000 which would give to each en-
listed man about SOS, the money
so obtained would be barely sufficient
for them to procure clothes and return
to their homes, leaving them no mar
gin upon which to enter upon the
peaceful pursuits of life. Without
the means of subsistence, Senior Viii
lalOn says, disorders would almost in
evitably follow and perhaps brigand-
age. The object both of the United
States and of the assembly, says Mr..
Villalon, is to secure tranquility in
Cuba preparatory TO the setting up by
the Cuban people of an Independent
government, and he says that it is
therefore as much to the interests of
the United States authorities as to
those who Immediately represent the
Cuban patriots to see that the dis
banded soldiers are given an oppor-
tunity to return TO civil pursuits.
Senor Nillalon and his colleague will
probably seek an audience with the
president. and if this is denied them
they will see the secretary of war. Ii
the president receives these gentlemen
it will be as visiting citizens, not in
their representative capacity. No
such recognition will be accorded them.

offers was eX-Congressman Monroe II.

Boston, March 29.-It is believed that
the hull of the lost steamer Portland
has been located. The crew of the
schooner Maud s. on Monday hauled
up a quantity of steamer furnishings
entangled in their fishing travis. The
point at which it was brought up was
22B miles east half north from Bos.
ton Light, II miles f of Cape Anr
and the depth of the water between sc
and 90 fathoms. The articles found
when brought ashore were positively
identified by Agent Williams, of the
Portland line, as being a part of the
furniture in one of the cabins.

Critics of missions, who delight in
saying that sit takes dollar to carry
a cent" to the benefciaries of these or
CARNATIONS, are conclusiveIy refuted by
facts given in connection with the mis-
sions Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. During the church year 1918
this body expended in the foreign and
domestic mission fields about 81 200 900
The Salaries of missionary bishops,
secretaries, etc." together with the
"office and incidental expenses" took
just G.. cents out of each dollar given
to be expended in mission work. The
"children of the world" may be wiser
in their generation than the children
of light" at least the critics think so;
but the fact remains that a business
corporation which could keep its cost
of administration" within seven per
cent. of its total expenditure would feel
that it exhibited very commendable
t'worldly" skill.

A well-known Philadelphia profes-
sional man, who is noted among his
friends for his Observation-Disclosures
thought he had reached the height of
absurdity when he was forced to ask
his wife his first name a short time ago
in order to answer properly question
asked by the assessor of his district.
His memory. however, played him an
even worse trick the other day, and
the joke was so good that he told it on
himself. He was writing a letter in
the post office corridor one evening
when a seedy-looking person came up
with a hard luck story. The writer
paused long enough to tell the beggar
that he had nothing for him and to
go away. The fellow persisted, and
again poured forth his woeful story.
A watchman finally chased the beggar
away, and the absent-minded writer
started to read what he had written.
Great was his surprise when he found
that he had transcribed word for word
part OF the hard luck tale that had been
poured into his unwilling ears.

a long coal train was creeping slow

man, but there's the same telephone
post we passed five minutes ago." The
engineer shut off steam, climbed down
from the cab, and, with the assistance
of the fireman and conductor, found
that the track had been smeared with
lard, soap and axle grease. TO haul the
train over such rails was impossible, so
fagmen were sent front and rear, the
engine was detached from the train
and it crept slowly ahead to Glenside,
where the conductor telegraphed for
help from Philadelphia. AS soon as
the engine disappeared there swarmed
out of the adjoining woods a score of
men with wagons, wheelbarrows and
sacks, and proceeded to steal car
load Of coal. The few trainmen were
powerless, and before the engine re-
turned they had not left in the car as
much as would fill cook stove.

Tongue Reading Now.

Various persons have claimed to be
able to read character from the lines in
the palm of the hand, from the irregu-
larities in the surface of the skull, from
the eyes, from the ears and even from
the nose; and now young woman in
Paris asserts that she can read it from
the tongue. The guiding signs are as
follows: If the tongue is long, it is an
indication of frankness; if it is short of
discrimination; if it is broad, of eXpan-
siveness; if narrow, of concentration
When the tongue is both long and large
it implies that the possessor is a great
gossip, frank to disagreeableness and
thoughtless. If the tongue be long and
narrow, its owner is only half frank,
thinking as much as is uttered, but not
always uttering what is thought. If the
tongue be short and broad, there is
promise of plenty of gossip-and false
hoods; it talks a great deal, but says
little of what is really thought, If short
and narrow, it indicates deep cunning
and lying, impenetrability and great
prudence. This tongue belongs to
those persons always ready to make
mistakes, but eager to inspire conf
dence. Perhaps by close study of the
new science, physicians will become
able to tell, when they examine a pa
tient's tongue, not only his physical
condition, but also whether he is likely
to nav their fee

PROSPERITY AND BRYAN.
Good Times Have Depressing Eff
feet on the Free silver
Rooster.

Mr.. Bryan has been down in Hous-
ton, Ten, telling the people that pros
perity has not come" Just what mean
ing Mr.. Bryan attaches to the word
"prosperity" we do not know. If it
conveys TO his mind nothing more than
the present or prospective realization
of his personal political ambition, it
must be admitted that he proclaimed
the truth to his hearers in the south.
But if the word signifies good times in
industrial and business circles, Mr.. Bry-
an is either helplessi! or wtiifgiiy blind
to the conditions that exist at around
him.
For some of the undeniable facts of
the situation are these: Most of the
shops and factories of the country are
working at their full capacity. The dis
tributive movement of goods through
out the United States is larger than
ever before. The masses of the people
are selling what they produce and buy
ing what they want in quantities which
in the aggregate are immense beyond
all previous records. The export trade
of the United States is of a magnitude

ECol. William Jennings Bryan has
been seen a great deal in Washington
lately. He has been a frequent visitor
at the capitol and in his calls shows
a marked preference for the senate.
He has more personal friends in that
body than he has in the house. Indeed,
his principal backing is in the senate.
Up to within few months Col. Bryan's
appearance at the capitol was the sig
nal for crowds to gather around him
for many an impromptu reception. To-
day he fails TO arouse more than a
languid interest, and he may haunt the
marble room or parade the rotunda all
day without being interfered with by
people getting in his way. Judging
from surface appearances. the colonel
is overturned, and his sponsors and
managers would be much delighted if
he would seek much needed seclusion
from public observation for awhile.
His insatiate' greed for notoriety pre-
cludes that, however - Washington

uTThe United States is in better
shape than any other nation for cross
ing the Pacific. It's geographical po-
sition and rights of defense entitle it
to this advantage. West of San Fran
cisco. the first stopping place is Homo
lulu. a distance of 2.100 miles. From
Honolulu to Guam is 1887 miles, and
from Guam to Manila, by the course
usually travelled around the north end
of Luzon island, 1850 miles. Most of
the larger ships of the navy can make
the runs without recoaling. Within a
few years the American cable will be
in operation along this route. and it is
probable that we shall acquire some
coaling stations on the coast of Asia,
Il short time it will be seen that our
expansion in the Pacific is not imperial
istic. but legitimately commercial

NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE.
Work of Moving Various Govern
ment Bureaus Suspended.

The authorities in charge OF the transfer
of the General Land and Indian Offices
have been suddenly halted in their work
by the discovery of the fact that there is
no appropriation TO pay for the moving OF
these bureaus Of the Interior Department
from their present location TO the old
postof1ice building, a portion of which it
is intended they shall occupy in the fu-
ture In the light of this discovery the
officials have stopped all moving opera
tions and the offices Will remain where
they are until Congress meets and appro-
PIRATES the money needed to pay for their
removal. When Congress appropriated
funds for the moving OF the Postoffice De-
partment the fact that the old building
would be used by the Land and Indian Of
fees did not enter into the calculations.
and the moving of these departments was
an afterthought.
The buildings which they now occupy
are SO oyercrowded that there is hardly
space enough for the clerks to perform
their work Documents have accumulated
and every nook and corner Of the building
are utilized as storage room. The General
Land Office alone occupies almost half OF
the Patent Office Building. The papers OF
this bureau are scattered throughout the
building, and it was the idea of the Com
mission of the General Land Office to o.
cupy the whole of the postoffice building
and thus secure a place TO store docu-
ments, but the authorities in charge de-
cided that the offices of the Indian Bureau,
the Geological Survey, and tee railroad and
mail division of the Pension Bureau should
also be located there. Commissioner
Evans has been trying to find a place for
the railroad and mail division OF his bu-
reau for some time past, as he was desir
Gus of using the room now occupied by
them as headquarters for the new Spanish
war division. From present indications,
however, ii would appear that none of the
contemplated transfers Will be effected, at
least not until Congress has met and ap-
propriated sufficient funds to pay for the
