The year between March 4j 1897, and
March 4, 1898, reveals William McKinley
as a patriotic American, a cautions but
firm executive, a conciliatory but self
respecting politician in his relations with
congress, a pronounced but unfactional
republican in hie relations with his party,
a consistent protectionist in his econo
mic convictions, a courageous friend of
civil service reform and of currency
reform and an official who, knowing war
as a soldier and loving peace as a citizen,
cultivates the things which make for
peace in the spirit and attitude of our
government, while not unmindfulof that
duty of readiness for war which emer
gencies, neither of our creation nor of
our choosing, have forced upon the
national attention. The president is

Washington, March 15. A week's
negotiations closed Monday by the tri
umphant purchase by the navy depart
ment in London of the two fine cruisers
built and building at Elswock for the
Brazilian government. Possibly the
officials took more pleasure in closing
up the business in this manner because
of the knowledge that the Spanish
agents had been striving tosecure these
very ships, to whom, it is said, they
would be of much gi eater value in case
of trouble than to the United States.
The next question is how to get the
ships home and that has not yet been
settled, according to the secretary of
the navy. The United States flag will
be hoisted over the new ships within a
week, probably, and just as soon as the

One of Ship Complete.
The ability of the two Brazilian ships
was first brought to the attention.of the
navy department by Mr. Laine, agent
of the Maxim-Nordfeld company, who
was authorized to dispose of these ships
and two others in course of construction
in Prance. Mr. Laiae said today that
the two ships purchased would be a
most desirable acquisition to- the Amer
ican navy as they were the latest and
best products of the famous Armstrong
yards. One of the ships is complete in
every respect, has her coal supply and
ammunition on board and steam can be
raised at any time. There will be no
trouble in bringiug this ship across, as
an adequate force from the local yards
can be secured for the service. It is
said the coal and ammunition on board
passed with the sale to tbe united
States. The ammunition is not all of
the kind in use by the United States
navy, so that the supply of ammunition
is a necessary adjunct to the new ships.
The other ship has been launched, but
it will take some time to make her
readv for sea.
Mr. Laine believes there will be no
difficulty in briuging her over immedi
ately it it is desired to make the move
without delay, as the hull of the ship
is so well along that she could be towed
and her own sail power utilized for the
trip across.
Shortage la Engineers.
A daugerous deficiency in the engin
eer branch of the navy has been brought
to light strikingly in the fact that it is
scarcely possible to secure a staff of
engineer officers to bring back to the
United States any of the ships pur
chased abroad. This state of affairs has
been brought to the attention of the
house naval committee, but so far, it
is feared, without meeting that degree
of success which it was hoped for in the
shape of an amendment increasing tue
number of engineer officers iu the serv
ice. Senator Proctor visited the White
house and uptown departments and his
calls excited a good deal of interest. He
spent half an hour first with Secretary
Alger, explaining, it is believed, the
military situation in Cuba and after
ward had a conference with Judge
Day, assistant secretary of state. Then
he went to the While house and was
closered with the president for two
hours and a quarter. When he emerged
from the room he courteously declined
to speak regarding the nature of the in
formation he had communicated to the
president.
N. F. Palmer, representing the Quin
tard iron works of New York, which
built the engines of the Maine, was at
the navy department in consultation
with the officials respecting the conver
sion of vessels of the merchant marine
into war craft. While not a shipbuild
ing firm, the Qnintard works have done
a great deal of work on the engines and
interiors of ships, which is just the
class of work required in the case of
the auxiliary cruisers.

Havana, March 15. Consul General
Lee received the following telegram
yesterday afternoon from Mr. Walter
B. Barker, United States consul at
Sagaa La Grande : "The wife of Sen
ator Thurston died on the Anita today.
Shall give every attention and wire you
from Bearea."
Meager advices say Mrs. Thurston
died of apoplexy about 8 o'clock Mon
day morning when the yacht was in
sight of port. The Anita left Matanzas
Sunday night with all the party except
Congressmen Smith a ad Cummings,
who went by rail to Jvurna. The pas
sage from Havana, to Matanzas was
very rough and that to Sagua even
worse. It is thought that this, together
with the rough passage 'down the coast,
may have hastened the end, but nothing
definite is known here as to the circum
stances of Mrs. Thurston's death, or as
to the time and place of the funeral.

Washington, March 15. Senatorand
Mrs. Thurston were members olf .a con
gressional party which left Fort Monroe
March 2 for a trip to uuoa on lueyssau,.
Anita, The party had a stormy night
off Hatteras and put into Charleston.'
The trip was continued after a few
days' rest. The Anita first touched
Cuba at Havana and afterward went to
Matanzas and Sagua La Grande. The
brief announcement of Mrs. Thurston's
death was quite unsatisfactory to her
many acquaintances in this city and
every effort was made to secure details,
as the demise was most unexpected.
Mrs. Thurston was iu excellent health
when she left the city, having taken
an active part in the annual convention
of the Daughtersof the American Revo
lution, which met here the week before
her departure.
Mrs. Thurston before her marriage
was Miss Martha Poland, a niece of
Luke Poland of Vermont, prominent
vears ago in the house of representa
tives. Mr. and Mrs. Thurston cele
brated their silver wedding last fall at
Omaha.
Mrs. Senator Gallinger, who was one
f the nartv which left here for Cuba,
but who abandonded the trip when the
yacht had reached Charleston, was
greatly shocked at the auuouucement of
the death. When Mrs. Galliuger left
nharleston Mrs. Thurston was ia per
fect health and had best withstood the
storm off Hatteras, being the ouly one
who was not made sick. She confided
to Mrs. Gallinger a strange present
ment, saying she had written to her
eon, now at Harvar.l, certain desires to
be carried out iu case of accideut, and
added: "I do not expect to return
alive."
Little was thought of the remark, and
Mrs. Thurston did not explain whether
she feared natural death, or some acci
dent to the vessel.

ation in Havana and throughout the

that the "breaks" along the edge of the

Sketch of Mrs. Thurston's Life.
Omaha, March 15. Mrs. John M.
Thurston was the daughter of Colonel
and Mrs. Luther Poland, her maiden
name being Martha L Poland. She
was a niece of Luke P. Poland, one of
Vermont's greatest characters and
statesmen, who wan chief justice of, the
state and United States senator aT
representative for many years. She
was born iu Vermont about 50 years
ago, being a little younger than her
husband. About 2S years ago she came
to Omaha with her parents and made
this city her residence since. Colouel
Poland died about a year ago. Mrs.
Poland is living and is now at the
Thurston home in this city.
Senator Thurston, who was at that
time a rising lawyer, and Miss Poland
were married in this city on Christmas
day, 172. The silver anniversary of
this wedding was celebrated on Christ
mas day iu this city by a large recep
tion attended by hundreds of friends,
not only from this state, but from states
iu all the western part or the country.
As a result of that union three children
are now living. iuu umti, u mw,
Clarence, is 17 years of age and is at

M'KINLEY'S POLICY AS TO SPAIN.
Will Dasnand 910,000,000 Indemnity for

St. Paul, March 15. Tho Globe's
Washington special says: The presi-
I dent and hU cabinet know unofficially
the result of the. Maine inquiry. They
are prepared to act. They have can
vassed the course of events, so far on
they can foresee them.and have formu
lated a policy to meet the emergency.
Along its lines the administration ex
pects to move unless it is swept off its
feet by a wave of popular dissatisfac
tion. The Globe's special correspondent
is able to present the forecast of events
as viewed by tho president and his cab
inet. It can be outlined thus :
1. The board of inquiry will report
this week that the explosion was exter
nal. 2. The president will immediately
through Minister Woodford demand
from Spain an indemnification of $10,
000.000. 8. Spain is expected to reply express
ing her williuguessto pay if she is re
sponsible, but maintaining that her
own investigation shows that the ex
plosion was internal aud purely acci
dental. She will, therefore, suggest
reference to an international board of
arbitration.

tion would be disposed to comply with
the suggestion unless there isau emeute
in Havana or an irresistible demand for
war sweeps through congress.

It Was His Idea of What Woald
solutely Ideal Conditions.
The American newsboy can alnioat
be said to have created a genus for him
self. If lit has any, be has ceitaiuly
created it, for of alt the inhabitants of
this planet there is none who in so ab.o
lately independent, so thoroughly con
fident of his own exertions. 11a has a
feelf impoztat.ee, derived from his ability
to support or partially support himself,
which places him high above the raak
of tbe ordinary gamin, aud he generally
possesses what ia far more important iu
any community ready money. He is
the capitalist of our junior civilization,
tbe Count Esterbazy of newsboys' alley.
He can play craps for mouey when other
boys are constrained to pursue this de
lectable amusement with only the mild
er if mere intellectual pleasure of study
ing tbe fluctuations of fortune, or, at
most, hazarding cigaiette pictures.
Ha inav swear a little mora than ia
neccEHary, but in general is not half
bad. His train of thought is usually
healthy and vigorous and has a robust
ness born of tho outer air in which be
spends so much cf his time. Physically
he is agile and almost tireless. While
apparently reckless in most things, be
is, on the whole, careful of his health
he is scarcely ever kuown to smoke a
whole cigarette at a time. His intellect
is as keen as a razor. Ho keeps it con
tinually honed on the strop of experi
ence. Everything carries for him n les
son. From tho sale of the largest Sun
day paper to that of tbe most unpreten
tious weekly there is nothing he does
not profit by.
He is a born statist, a self educated
strategist. He has tbe nice art of going
far enough and yet never overstepping
himself. On the eve of such an occasion
be will vociferate, "All about the elec
tion,". but don't ever expect of whom
until you buy tbe paper. Pleasure and
other things occupy a fair proportion of
bis time, but with him the distribution
of news is always uppermost. It even
permeates his sleeping hours. One of
them was heard to remark between sales
to auother a day or so ago, "Say, Jim,
I bad de finest dream I ever had las'
night."
"Va3 it about anecls?" inquired .Tim.
"Kaw," was tbe contemptuous re
sponse, "I dreampt dat der was a aw
ful smashup. six fires, fear dcable mur
ders an tree suicides, all in one day."

Whero Princes Aro Sacred.
When a young prince of Japan wishes
to learn the mysteries of ckirograpby.
young maidens bring paper, others make
the ink and prepare the paint brush.
The master expresses admiration by
gesturo and face, for no words must be
spoken by him to the prince, his month
even beiug bandaged that his breath
may not blow upon the face of the
prince. The teacher must move about
in the quietest manner and give com
mendutiou only.
Haw Dead Soldiers Caafc.
A British army enrgeou is authority
for the statement that the cause of death
is clearly shown in tbe expression of tbe
face of a corpse on the field of battle.
He states tbat those who have been
killed by sword thrusts have a look of
repose, while these killed by bullets
usually have pain of an intense nature
'learly depicted.
George Muller of Bristol, England,
died last week, but it will be a long time
before the world will let his name die
out of history. Among philanthropists,
be was one of the most remarkable. He
maintained an orphans' home and from
the first conducted it on the plan of tak
intr all the wants of the home to the
Lord in prayer. He came to be known
a3 an intelligent, conscientious, earnest
man devoted to the best interests of tbe
youth in his charge, and money in abun
dance came to nim irom people mat
naver knew individually; bis inflnen
has been wide-spread, deep and lasting,
and he deserves to rank with the world's
greatest and best workers in this line of
endeavor.

THE NEW WAY.
WOMEN used
w to think " fe
male diseases "
could only be
treated after "lo
cal examina
tions" by physi
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. The in
troduction of
Wini of Cardui has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simplev- pure
Wine
taken In the privacy of a woman's
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of "female troubles" disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
"whites," change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. $1.00 at
