Japan is evidently getting ready to ; assert her rights in and about China, which she can readily do so long as she is able to maintain a fairly-good naval force. Egypt intends enlarging the area of her irrigated lands by the erection of two "great dams, which will cost the govern ment $900,000, and be completed in about five years. The cotton crop of the United States for 1897-8 is estimated the largest in the history of the country, which now furn ishes the bulk of the world's cotton, quadrupling in twenty-five years. The story of the Swiss Government's purchase of the railroads, as authorized by the recent referendum vote, is told in the American Monthly Review of Re views for April, by Mr. J. L Macdonald. The Spanish government has secretly placed two lines of twenty mines each underwater between Morroand Punta at the narrowest part of the channel. They are spherical and float about twenty-four feet under the surface. The newly-discovered gold-region in Mexico, towards which a movement has set in second only to the Klondike mi gration, is described in an illustrated article contributed to the American Monthly Review of Reviews by Mr. II. D. Slater. The peculiar and remarkable thing in regard to the flood filling the banks of the Ohio river, as given by the dis patches of the 24th was that no tribu tary on the left bank of the river was making the slighest contribution to the freshet. Prof. J.

Mrs. Johx Tylek, wife of a farmer near Ansley, was so severely burned while fighting prairie fire, that she died from the effects. She was found nearly dead in a ravine near by where the fire had been. Her clothing had evidently caught fire from the burning grass. Evert ship sailing the Spanish flag is leaving New Orleans as fast as it can get out. The custom is to touch at Havana and Porto Rico, homeward bound, and it is understood that all who can get away from either city will do so at once, and seek the protection of the mother country. A Gauciax schoolmaster named Jan Stezepanik, has invented what he calls "Fernseher" far seer by which pic tnres can be seen at great distances, light waves being transformed into electric waves. It is said the apparatus may be adapted to printing manuscripts and newspapers on photographic plates at anv distance. In the discussion of the Loud bill in congress it was shown that last year the U. S. government paid 34,878,390 to tho railroads for carrying the mails at eight cents per pound, a rate agreed on about twenty years ago, when rates were about two-thirds more than they are now. The same rate of decrease on mail matter, it is said, would work a saving of nearly fourteen million dollars, and would create a surplus in the post-office reve nues. And why not see that this is done? It was rather unkind in those Augusta, Ga., people to announce the sale of their new bonds at 3fi per cent interest just as Mr. Bryan was visiting the state to per suade the people that the country needs more money, even at the risk of making it of an uncertain value. It will be hard to convince people that there is a scarci ty of money supply when cities are able td cut their interact in lialf. as isjthe case with Augusta, whose recent sale of $100, . worth of bonds, bearing 3 per cent in terest, was made for the purpose of re funding bonds bearing 7 per cent.

Report From Cuban Coainls and Dlplo-j Matte Correspondence Will Xot ms Transmitted to Cong-re Preaidaat Review the Conn of Spain and Will Recommendation. Washixotok, April 5. The president has completed his Cuban message and it will be presented to consress on Wednesday. Secretary Long after the special cabinet meeting last night auth thorized the Associated Press to make this statement. The message, which is in itself long, will not be accompanied by the consular reports dealing with the state of affairs in Cuba. These will go to the commit tee on foreign relations of the senate for their private information and will not be made public just now. The diplomatic correspondence between the United States and Spain will not be submitted at present. The cabinet meeting lasted from 8 o'clock until after 11 and was devoted entirely to the careful reading and dis cussion of the president's draft of his message. Every member of the cabinet was present. The document was gone over point by point and met with the approval of the cabinet in every ma terial respect. The only changes made were in a few points of verbiage. Lone Acts as Spokesman. Secretary Long apparently had been deputed as spokesmau for the meeting and gave the above brief statement. As to the character of the message he re fused to speak. It was learned from other sources, however, that the mes sage is in part a review of Spain's course in the present and previous wars in Cuba. That it will contain some definite recommendations may be in ferred from the remark of one member: "While I can say nothing explicit con cerning the details of the message," said he, "I may say that it is a'strong, explicit statement and one with which congress will be thoroughly in accord." It was suggested that congress was pretty thoroughly in accord with the Forakcr resolution, but nothing more explicit could be obtained. It is understood that while the con sular reports on Cuba arc withheld from the public at present, out of regard for their authors who are still iuJCnba, that their publication is not deemed essen tial by th" cabinet. One member in discussing this point said : "They con tain only information which has by this time been quite thoroughly pre c4a tliaunblic from other sources." From the fact that tuo diplomatic correspondence is not presented with the message, it is inferred that its main features are touched upou in the mes sage itself, whether in the form of ex tracts, or.merely in substance. SPAIN URGING POWERS TO ACT. Spaniards Are Auziou to Have the Pow ers Mediate, Washington, April 5. The two fore most branches of the Cuban question in Washington yesterday were the president's message and European in tervention, which has taken an active form in the courts of Europe according to the advices received at foreign em bassies here, though no proffer has been made to the United States. Regarding the first it can be stated that it is fully expected by the administration that the message will be sent to congress on Wednesday, and certainly by Thurs day. The members of Mr. McKinley's cab inet and his friends in congress stated definitely that it will deal vigorously with the question, will include the Maine incident, and will make definite recommendations to congress. As to the intervention of Europe and the pope, they declare these powers must exercise their suasion on Spain, for this government will insist on the independ ence of Cuba as an ultimate sine qua non unless the insurgents themselves should consent to less, and this they have flatly refused to do. Onlr One Condition Arreptable. Speaking on this point one of the cabinet ofli era said: "You can say for me t a s'll the powers of Europe and the heads of all the churches may propose me "iatioa ,to Spain if they de sire, bnt the Un.ted States will posi tively n t listen to mediation of any kind th t does not lead to the accept ance of on condition, which is inde pendence for Cuba." Notwithstanding the many reports of European mediation they assumed their first tangible form yesterday afternoon when at least two of the foreign estab lishments in Washington received in formation that an exchange of notes between the great powers was now in progress with a view to arriving at a basis on which they oould make a joint proposition for mediation. It is evi dent that there isauitra common under standing reached, as the ambassadors and ministers at Washington have re ceived no instructions. Their only in formation thus far is that the notes are passing by telegraph between the capi tals. It had been understood that France and Austria were most active in bringing about this movement, and that Great Britain had held aloof from it, but it has developed that the British government is also taking part in the exchange, and that in case of concerted action by the powers Great Britain probably would act with the others. Spain Urge Powers On. What common ground the powers are seeking to reach can only be conjec tured. The Spanish government seems to be hopeful of results from this move ment and this inspired additional ground for the belief that it will not be regarded with favor by the United States. The diplomats, however, think that if a common understanding was reached by the great powers of Europe, such suggestions as these combined powers might make could not be lightly set aside. The general view of the dip lomats is that the movement is not so much one toward reconciling the United States and Spain as it is to preserve the peace of the world by combined action. Spam's policy in this matter is that of urging on the European powers that if Cuba was free from Spain, the next move under the Monroe doctrino would fee to bring an end to European control over other West Indian colonies. Great Britain, France and Denmark have in terests in that locality. On the hand it was stated the infra ance of the powers was more likely to ezsnsd on Spain, urging her to ths American sailors and flying the Be i ru tirx largest possible me as ara of concession. Walt Fur Wednesday." "Wait for Wednesday," was the word passed about the capitol yester day and a general understanding to that effect was reached. The Republicans will not initiate and the Democrats will not try to force any action on Cuba until Wednesday, when the president's mes3.ige will be received. With that understanding the senate foreign relations committee did not re port and the house foreign relations committee took no action. It is known that the senate committe has agreed on a resolution, practically the Foraker resolution, declaring independence and intervention, with an amendment fix ing the responsibility for the destruc tion of the Maine upon Spain either by design or criminal negligence. The house foreign affairs committee will report, if possible, a resolution in line with the president's recommenda tions, and it is known efforts are being made to have the resolutions of both committees to agree with the presi dent's wishes. The conference of Republican mem bers of the house was adjourned until 11 o'clock Wednesday in order to await the message. Power Are Interested. Washington', April 5. It has just been learned here defiinitely that an exchange of notes between the great Dowel's of Europe has begun concerning mediation on the Spanish-American question. At least two of the embassies in Washington have received information that this exchange is now in progress, but no definite instructions have been received by the diplomatic representa tives here. Pakis, April 5. It is send-officially announced that the powers are contin uing their earnest efforts to find a com mon ground upon which they could join to offer mediation between the United States and Spain. lie Liokiiis Aftor Americans. Havana, April 5. The Mangrove and the Bache am expected here today to take to Key West such Ameri cans as desire to go. Consul General Lc has been authorized to hire mer chant vessels, if p3Jsible, and will probably employ the City of Key West of the Coast Hue, the Mascotte, which is due here Wednesday, and tho Oli vette, which is due for an extra trip on Thursday. The Fern will remain here, so far as is known. Warn the Pope. London, April 5. The Rome corre spondent of the Daily Mail says : Arch bishop Ireland has cabled deprecating a formal offer of intervention and ex plaining that tho pope could only inter veue successfully by recognizing the Monroe doctrine which would be im oolitic. A rumor is current that Em peror William first broatched the idea oi pupai tu.irventipn and was warmly seconded by Austria. .Maine Flax Taken Down. Havana, April 5. Soon after sun down last night tho tattered United States flag was taken from the gaff of the wrecked M-ine, wlu- e it has floated since Fb. 57. " :vs alte. iJie explo sion. It was taken down by an officer an i a boat's crew irom the Fern. The wrecking tugs Underwriter and Mer rltt and tho barges Chief and Sharp left for American waters yesterday. Woodford Gets the Message. ( nicao, Apri 5. A special to the T.- bu c fr m Washington, D. C, says: Minis er Woodford has been given by cable an abstract of the president's forthcoming message and informed of the temper cf congress He will com municate the facts to Spain. This is in the nitn:e of an ultimatum. The pres ident still hopes Spain will give up the fight. Denial by Consul ie. New Your, April 5. The Evening World's correspondent at Havana cables a denial upon the authority of Consul General Fitzhugh Lee, of the report that he (Lee) had asked the British consul general, Mr. Collin, to take charge of his effects, as he was about to leave the country. Plan of Attack en Cuba. Kcy West, Fla., April 5. Captain Sampson and the council of officers on board the New York yesterday com pleted the plan of naval campaign against Havana.

Senators Charge Her With Being Responsible. PERKINS MAKES DIRECT CHAB0E. Holds tke Spanish Government pirectly Uftnusibie For tke Maine Disaster. Snntie of Montana and Rawlin of Utah Deelare Time For Action la at Baad War Speeches la tba Senate. Washkotos, Aprils. It was frankly and openly charged in the senate Mon day by Perkins (Cal.) in a set speech, that Spain was responsible for the Maine disaster, as it had been brought about by Spanish machinations and by Spanish treachery. The speech of Mr. Perkins was only one of four prepared addresses upon the Cuban question de livered in the senate. Clay (Ga.). while hoping for a peaceful solution of the problem the country is now facing, de clared strongly in favor of independ ence of the Cubans and pledged to the administration the loyal support of the south, which, in the ovent of war, would have to bear the brunt of the conflict. Mr. Perkins took substan. tiaUy the same grounds and his vigor ous treatment of the Maine disaster aroused the crowded galleries to enthu siastic applause. Mantle (Mont.), while expressing confidence in the adminis tration, maintained that the time for action had now arrived and that action must be to the end that Cuba should be free. Rawlins (Utah) entirely elim inated the president from consideration his sseech. holding that the case amsw tyraT npnnja www ww rww against Spain was already made up and that with congress rested the responsi bility of declaring war. Forcing us to wait longer Was only to invite critcissa. He declared for the most vigorous ac tion immediately. After the Cuban speeches had been delivered the senate resumed consider ation of the sundry civil bill and fin ishedSS pages before adjourning. De spite the specific statement that the president's message would not be sent to congress Monday and the inferential understanding that the subject of Cuba might not even be referred to, people came to the capitol by the thousands. It was a great audience that looked down upon the chamber when the sen ate convened. Every seat in the gal lery except the diplomatic, was filled, and even in the diplomatic gallery there were several member? of foreign lega tions. Pettigrew (S. D.), presented, a tele gram signed by more than 100 of his constituents which read : "All parties here want Spanish torpedo flotilla turned back or destroyed. Patience ex hausted." Gear (la.), presented a resolution of the Iowa legislature indorsing the ac tion of the president and congress upon the Cuban question and pledging its support to the administration. Senate Committee's Report. Washington', April 5. The senate committee on foreign relations resumed its sitting today. The committee has arrived at a definite conclusion as to the resolutions it will recommend, and Senator Davis has prepared the report to accompany the resolutions. This re port will deal with the situation; in vigorous language, and it is undfer&ad that much will be made in it of the Maine disaster. The committee has ac cepted the finding of the court of in quiries so far as it goes, but has exer cised the prerogative of extending the inquiry and drawing conclu sions in advance of those drawn by the Maine court. This report will be in the nature of an address to the coun try in justification of the resolutions to be reported by the committee. The committee now expects to be able to report on the same day that the presi dent's message is received, and mem bers of the committee srill look for a message that will be in perfect accord with their resolutions. It will recom mend both the recognition and the dec laration favorable to intervention. The president ha3 been informed of the probable character of the committee's report, but what, if any, comment he made has not been made public. For Cuban Independence. Washington, April ,". Mr. Grout (Rep. Vt.) today introduced in the house the following joint resolution recognizing the independence of the re public of Cuba and for other purposes : Resolved, By the senate and house of representatives that the United States of America recognize the repub lic of Cuba as a free and independent state. "That the president is hereby authorized to expend out of the appro priation for the national defence in the act approved March 9, 1898, not exceed ing $500,000 to provide non-combatant Cubans with the necessary food, raiment and medicine for their imme diate relief from starvation, also neces sary implements of agriculture and seeds for planting a crop. Provided, That the relief herein au thorized to non-combatants shall be ex tended only through authorized agents of the United States, and to this end tb "president is authorized to request the co-operation of the proper officers of Spain in the island of Cuba." The Cannon fortifications resolution was passed, anil then Mr. Hull (la.) moved to suspend the rmtsiu-i'.u. bill for the reorganization of tho army. After a brief debate, it was arranged that Wednesday should be set aside for the consideration of the Hull amend ment. Child Kill His Sister. Pine Oak, Is., April 5. Lena, a 13-year-old daughter of Robert Erwin of this city, was shot and fatally wounded last evening by her little 5-year-old brother. An older brother had just re turned from a hunting trip and laid the gun where the child secured it, dis charging the full load into his sister's head and inflicting wounds from which eiie died a short time afterward. liabaque Kleetlen. Dubuqce. la., April 5. The Demo crats elected only the marshal and two aldermen. All the other city officer and five aldermen were on the citi zens ticket.

Relief Committee Ara Actively at Work Carina; For the Hundreds Who Are ft Without Homes List or Dead Will Re Largely Aar;tnented When Nearo Qaar ter Is Heard From. Ridoway, 111., April ft. Last night almost two score bodies of victims of the Shawneetown flood had been re covered and hundreds of homeless pea pie are dependent upon charity for food and shelter. The death list is likely to be largely increased when definite in formation from the negro quarter, which suffered most, is secured. The flood burst upon these people without warning, and owing to weak construc tion of their shanties they toppledoter in the rushing waters, leaving their in mates no means of getting ont of dan ger. Hundreds of people who lived farther from tbe river front sought safety on roofs and in upper stories or made a retreat to the hills at the west. These are being removed as rapidly as possible to places where they can bo given proper care. No effort has yet been made to search for bodies, tho at tention of the relief parties being di rected almost entirely to thedistribu tionof supplies and making the home less as comfortable as possible. The relief work is well organized. Tents andblanket8 sent by the governor are being prominently distributed. Those who escaped lost everything and their homes are in ruins. The missing, so far as known, are : Mrs. C H. Galloway, four children and two lady visitors. Washington Galicott and wife. Colonel Gaucott. Mrs. Ed. F. Lake. Mrs. Papl FaALBX and four child ren.

Dr. Wines' takes the tents and rations of Illinois National Guard for 1,000 people. Got ernor Tanner is doing all in his power to relieve the sufferers. About his first act this morning was to telegraph W." S. Phillips, president of the bank at Ridgeway, to spend $3,000 for relief and draw upon the state for that amount in return. Colonel Smith, as sistant adjutant general, will meet a special train at St. Louis with more provisions and will go to Shawneetown to assist in relief work. Early this morning Governor Tan ner received the following message relative to the Shawneetown disaster: "RiDaswAY, Ills., Amil f. To John B. Tanner, governor: The ground gave way under the levee at 4 :15 p. m. and the loss of life is nearly one-fourth of our population. We have no provisions to feed our people for one meal. We need tents and clothing, and burial cas kets to bury the dead. Help us at once. "D. M. Carney, Mayor." Governor Tanner has issued a procla mation calling upon the citizens of the state to contribute to the relief of the Shawneetown sufferers. - CKbttaMeuiarinl Train. Omaha; April 5.

Good, recently ousted from office as mayor, for the violation of the Garfield corrupt practice act in securing his election, was yesterday re-elected to that office by 80) majority to fill out his unexpired term. Hadson Bay. At a meetiug of tbe McGill science graduates at Montre-il souio interesting faots about Hudson's bay were brought ont. This iuland ocean, which is now called tbe Mediterranean of North America, drains a territory 3,000,000 square miles in area, with vast rivers flowing into it from the sontb. east and west; fine natural harbors line its shores, adjacent to good farming lauds and rich mineral deposits. White whales, walruses as big as elephants and fur bearing seals disport themselves undisturbed. For tbe fiuebt fish no nets are spread. Both afloat and ashore there is wealth, with no one to take it away. In the district sonth of James bay, a re gion as large as all England, the total population is one Scotchman and DO or 40 families of Indians. Dr. Bell, the director of the geolog ical survey, said: "Moose bay i3 in a latitude farther south than Loudon, and the northern portion of Hudson's bay is about the same latitude as that cf the north of Scotland- The bay does not is possible during four or five months of the year. Tbe all water rente will bring tbe great northwest as near to Europe as the city of Quebec, and, while offer ing perhaps the best passage to tbe Yu kon region, it is certainly tbe natural route to tbe great oilfields. " Alluvial gold is found in the valleys, and fine specimens of gold bearing quartz have been brought in by the survey party. It is stated that tbe soil observed is rich and productive and that scores of mil lions of acres offer profitable stock rais ing and farming.

The spectrum is an image that a ray of light will show when it is passed tbrongh a properly arranged prism. It possesses a certain curve of a circle that forms the refrangibility or bending, and exhibits the colors as shown in the rain bow, together with certain dark lines when there is shown what is called a sun spectrum. The orbs, star clusters and nebula show a similarity of spec trum differing somewhat, such that the varying forms are classed into four forms, or four type of stellar spectra so called. When the varying metals are burned, or their salts, the dark lines shown in the solar spectrum become bright lines, and the, balance of the spectrum is dark. This last, in its varying forms, is called spectrum analysis, or an analysis of the lines shown by the varying elements. The darkf lines in the solar spectrum may be 'said to be due to the entrance into our solar system of the lines of the meteoric paths. And the same may be said of tbe stellar spectra, or .of lines belonging to them. When there is found in the spectrum of a distant nebula a line that corre sponds to one in our solar spectrum and of any known metal the wise-acres in tbe science of optics say snch nebula contains in its mass tho same metal be longing to us. This conclusion ariees on the basis that such lines are due to tho metals, bnt when we reach tbe subject from the basis that the metal in both is dm to the presence of similar forms of meteoric motion or energy, then an opposite con clusion arises. Tin twit positions are widely different, und th point may be settled" during the next e iateon cen turies. There is a certain star called the double-double star. When wo look at this Btar with the eye it kchmus one utar. With h small telescope it is resolved into two stars; but with a powerful tele scope the two stats become four stars. There is a line of light when passed through a prism of Iceland spar becomes two lines or spots, shown on a screen, that shine with equal brilliancy. But when prisms of Iceland spar are again placed in the two separate lines they each show two additional lines that shine as spots, but each unequal bril liancy. The lines are, however, not further divided. The history of man shows that men of science resist innova tion as long as they can. All progress comes from outside. But they are forced to yield, then 6ay how progressive wo are! The varying meteoric paths are factors that have marked influence, affecting the atmosphere of our globe and of the sun. Our solar system itself is moving in a cosuiicnl path, the motion of which carries tho 6nn and its near 400 nrlis along, nnd also revolves and rotates them. This view differs from the one that says they go by their own weight. E. J. Cbccii. Farm Note.
