of the war appropriation , pointed out that
there' was not a dollar available from any
other nourco to meet these demands. Prompt
action wes demanded in each Instance to
place at the dl-'poaal of the authorities means
to equip and make meat efficient the forces
of the United State * .
Mr. Steel ( rtp. , Ind. ) , Interrupting , said
ho had been advised at the War department
that the federal government would pay , and

ment would pay all expenses of volunteers
Incident to their movement from their homes
to the place of enrollment.

able expense of the war and nect'ttlty for
extraordinary revenue. Ho said the $30,000-
000 appropriated for defense had been ex
hausted , that the prcaent emergency bill

iocr < sary by reason of the , war would prob
ably amount very eon to $100,000,000 be-
oniso.of the fortification .appropriation.

filJcr the North Atlantic f hery question and

LONDON , May 2. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Tclesrarn. ) Kngland has
been staggered by Dewcy's overwhelming
victory. The superiority of the United States
squadron was recognized , but It was fully
believed It would have been more than coua-
terbalanced by the aialstanca aordcd the
Spanish fleet by submarine mines and power
ful shore batteries. Tlie splendid neaman-
uhlp and valor of Dewey In forcing an entrance -
trance Into Manila In the face of these de
fences cxclto Intense admiration , while
among naval experts the dispatch v.-Ith which
the American squadron disposed of the Spin-
lar&i proves that Dewey employed the re-
eourcea at his command with the highest
possible amount of effe-ctlvcnrsa.
Ivord Charles Beresford said tonight : "It
was .1 brilliant stroke , Everything , aa I said
to rou before , depends upon the man In
modern naval warfare. Dewey la an able
omcer. Ho brought his coals and workshop
with him. Ho tfisught out and planned the
whole affair with consummate skill and fore
sight.
"Do you gather that ttio shore batteries
were useless ? "
"No , I should not say that Dewey's strat
egy was thoroughly good binlnefs from start
to finish. Of course , when he got Inside the
liarbor , ho could easily pound the Spanl.'b
ships and ho did it splendidly. It was a caao
of short , tbarp and decisive. If you like ,
but from the Information already to hand I
could not say It teaches us much , except as
I contend that everything depends on the In
dividual man. It was Dewey's victory. "
"An to political results do you think Ger
many will like It ?
"No. Germany won't nor will the Japa
nese. But the United States ehould be sat
isfied , anyway. "
Sir John Colom. M. P. , a hlii ; ) nival au-
thtrlty and artillerist , said : "Prom the ac
counts avalable I gather that the Spinlsh
fleet .was . destroyed , it was complete In
every respect and I dare siy that when wo
receive Information from non-Spanish
sources Its completeness will bo even moro
striking .What appears to me , as to those
with whom I have dlscufscd the news , Is
ttat the disgraceful feature of the action Is
the failure of the Spanish batteries to give
cffestivc assistance- their fleet. Of course
the Spanish fleet Itself was en
tirely outclassed , but that docs not
account for Dawey being permitted to enter
ttio harbor provided with proper modern do-
fences. I have no doubt the Americans will
make a landing In some convenient posi
tion , and as no damage to Decoy's ahlpa
hos been specified he can easily make good
what Injury may have been done. The fact
ttiat ho wao able to form up a squadron
for the blockade of Manila Immediately attar
defeating the Spanish fleet proves that hn !
fhlpfl could have sustained no miterlal In
jury. The result of this engagement sus
tains Ifie view I exprcsasd some time flnca
tt-at the Spaniards are ao match whatever
for the Americans , cither in strategy or
the skilled use of modem weaponfl. "
Clbszon Dowles , M. P. , also tin authority
hi n-ival matters , said : "It is perfectly clear
in my oolnlcn that the Spanish fleet hao
been knocked Into a cocked hat. They are
only letting us know the facts by degrees
and nome things in their dispatches are not
easy to comprehend. They say the Ameri
cans landed their wcundcd , but Dewey
woul-I nevcri do that unlea ho Iwd taken a
base on shore , and doubtless wo shall hear
later that he has done so. But unless ho
gets assistance from the Insurgents ho may
nnd difficulty to maintain hlmiolf. Jle ha- ?
under the circumstances been unable to
brlri soldiers to make the power fleet ef
fective , but nevertheless ho achieved a
brilliant piece cf work and which the moro
we hear of it the more admirable Is Is likely
to appear.
The political conseueqnces likely to ensue
from the United States' capture of the * Phil
ippines excited Immense interest here. Ger
many has long had a covetoua eye upon
these rich Inlands , while British Interests
have been a bar to any deal between Spain
and Germany In relation to them. Japan
has also known an early desire for these
possessions.
Dewey's victory has suddenly placed the
United States In an important position In
connection wMi the far eastern question ,
European Interest In Cuba is remote almosl
and academic , but the Philippines are or
entirely different matter. It Is believed the
Unl'ed States coula use the possession oi
the Philippines as a powerful lever to force
Spain to abandon Cuba , through the press
ure of European powers who do not want a
Spanish colonial disruption In the far easl
to take place until the Chinese problem U
Bettjed. "
Sir CNirles Dllke ald : "Tho United States
In pomesl i of the Philippines raises nu
merous Important and delicate points for the
consideration of the powers. I should not
bo surprtaed If eventually the United States
secured the valuable , good will of Japan by
handing over the Philippines to It. "
Sir John Colcomb en this point ewld : "It
is an event of enormous International Im
portance. I rtiould not bo surprised If the
German emperor was spurred to some start
ling action by the prospect of hN dream of
po.3scralng the Philippines being shattered by
the American , triumph. Ho has a big squad
ron In the China teas , with his brother In
command , and wo may hear of some sig
nificant move on the part of that squadron
within a day or two. I don't believe ho
can sit still In the face of such a blow to
his rncot cherished hopes. "
The Idea if not the hope prevale/it hero
that the Spanish fleet woulJ
prove a tough
opponent for the United States has now been
entirely dispelled and all confidence in Span
ish fighting power has gone. The suggestion
has been tlirown out that Capo Verde squad
ron has a rendezvous with coaling transports
at some out of the way Island in ihe West
Indies , where It will replenish , Its hunkers
before appearing opposite Havana , but the
belief that Spanish foresight of organization
jias been so entlr.elylls appointed that the
Spaniards have not take ncven that essen
tial precaution to equip them for a decisive
engagement. "

affairs committee , secured the passage of a

unteer brigade ot engineers , and ot 10,000
men In the south who are Immune to yel
low fever , these enlistments to be In addi
tion to those provided for In the president
call for 125,000 volunteers. The men will
enlHt "for the war. "
The other measures passed , one suspend
ing for the duration of the war , the re
strictions placed by existing lawa upon the
Quartermaster's department of the army , In
order that supplies may bo purchased with
out the present formalities ; and the others
providing th-it owners of mlnlns claims
shall lint forfeit them for not performing
assessment work upon them provided they
enlist for the war.
Tie war revenue measure passed by the
house of representatives last Friday wai
received by the senate and referred to the
finance committee for consideration.
At the opening of the senate's Besslon ,
the chaploln offered devout thanks for the
glorious victory won by Commodore Dewcy's

caucus , presented an order appointing Mr ,
Chllton ( dem. . Ark. ) to nil the vacancy on

isted for Luulng bonds to provide funds for
the war , and In favor of the levying of a
Income- tax , was laid before the stcrate.
Mr. Uutler. In supporting the resolution ,
declared In favor of puylng the expensey ol
the war "as we go. " No issue of bondc
would be necessary if the war was carried
on as Lincoln carried on the great civil con
flict. If the navy aad land forces of the
United States were allowed to move upon
the enemy , promptly and aggressively , the
war would be over before the "bond abarku"
could further succeed In mortgaging the
futuio of our own people.
The resolution waa then referred to the

Ing Mr. Chandler directly :
"That is two or three times the gentle
man baa asked me .that . question about bills

fore the committee ? "

his temper , " contended Mr. Chandler tartly ,

Last evening at the First Methodist
church Mr. Thomas J. Kelly gave the Initial
orsan recital of a series which it Is his
purro e shall 1-ast throughout the continu
ance of the exposition. Mr. Kelly's pro
gram aa such that by It one cannot Judge
cf his ability as an organist. It contained
no selection that required technical trainIng -
Ing for its execution. Everything was of
a suzar-coatcd order , soft , sweet and
tcuchlng. There were times when his or
chestration was Interesting ami consistent ,
but there were others when the most In-
"
corsruous elements of" tone color were
thrown together without regard to the fact'
tJsafthejrwould not blend and did not represent -
resent anything. If Mr. Kelly la to estab
lish himself as an organ soloist he must
select the numbers of his program so as to
reveal the resources of his instrument and
the musical erudition which the organist
of the present day Is expected to possess.
Ho bezan his program with a sort of
fantasle on so-called national airs and
closed It with another of like character.
Patriotism Is. without doubt , a good thing
ani it Is very prevalent ; Indeed ao much
so ilat It does not need to be stimulated
by "Marching Throuch Georgia" and the
"Star Spangled iBanner" every time a note
of mulc Is heard. The fantasle on the
"Spirit of the Times" was spirited at times
and at other times it seemed to be a bid for
a popular demonstration of enthusiasm.
Music is an art and a program for a musical
performance should be a work of art and
net an aggregation of incongruities.
Mr. Kelly was assisted by the Madrigal
club , a body of eight singers which he or
ganized some months ago for service during
the progress of the exposition. The club
Is composed of good voices and they are
well trained. They slug with intelligence
and expression ; Indeed too much expression.
They are drilled too much In detail and by
fastening their attention upon a multitude of
points lose sight ot the significance of the
whole. ! But for this fact their work would
bo entirely commendable. The soloist of
the evening , besides Mr. Kelly , was Mrs.
A. P. Ely , contralto , who sang a patriotic
sclo , originally aimed at Italy , but pressed
Into service at the present time probably
on account of Its title , "Patrla , " composed
by Mattel. The rendering was fairly satis
factory , but not up to Mrs. Ely's usual
standard. The solo demands at times a
legato treatment which she failed to give
It. and as a consequence some of its effect
was lost.
Mr. Kelly lias begun a good work and in
the .Madrigal club he has a strong force to
assist him. The audience was larger than
was expected and the outlook Is good for
the future. Another recital will bo given
next Monday evening.

present the schools in this section ot tlui
city ore overcrowded and It la claimed that
a four-room building will be readily filled
In the fall. Plans will be drawn so that
four additional rooms may bo built on when
needed. The buildings and grounds com
mittee will visit the locality shortly with
a view to de-cldlng Just where the building
la to eland. It la estlmatcl that the ccst

Urandt was elected principal and Mrs. Flor
ence Moore was elected substitute teacher

Lambert's substituted.
Another meeting of the board will bo held
cm May 1. to hear a report from the com
mittee on buildings and grounds regarding
the selection of a site for the now Highland
Qchool building.
Strike In
Yesterday passed without any demonstra
tion on the part of the laboring men at the
packing houses. It Is thought now that there
will be no trouble , as no demand has been
made on the managers of any of the pack
ing houses for an Increase of wages or a
( shortening of the houra of labor. It Is un
derstood that a meeting of worklngmen wna
held Sunday night for the purpose of talkIng -
Ing over the advisability of going out on a
strike. 'From ' what can be teamed on the
outside It seeiro that Cudahy's men refused
to Join the forces at Swift's and for that
reayon a 'strike was postponed. Manager
Price of Swift and Company stated yesterday
afternoon that he was not aware of any dis
content at his house. The men were all
working full time , ho oil 1 , and no request
or demend had been mude for an Increase in
the wages now paid. Those mostly inter
ested seem to think that if a strike Is con
templated the worklngmen will make a de
mand for higher wages before walking out.

directors of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
to offer cash prizes for the live stock exhibit
