The activity that is going on in the way of preparations for wsr with a power of minor importance suggest* the query, * oppose it were England we were so near to blow* with, what would he our chance* for success? No doubt we should be succeisful, lot not quite a* soon as we would if we should have war with Spain. Thirty seven years ago '.here were numbers <»l people, both north and south, who prwdicted that the war would not feat over ninety days. How far they missed it i» a matter of hisios ry. It would, therefore, probably be a good idea for prophets to be a little careful of their predictions with regard to how long a war with Spain would last. One recruit of the John L Sullivan class has come forward tobffer hi* ser vices in defense of the country. He i# John Lawson, the “Terrible Swnde.” He has written a letter in which he says that since there is no more money •in the prise ring, ho is going to join the navy and fight Spaniard* If Law son displays the same qualities in the navy that be displays in the ring the Spaniards will have to kill him before they can convince him that he is whipped ; so l it may be doubted that they have got anything in their fleet that can hit him hard enough to kill bitn. The country declines to be frighten* •d into a war pauic. While some of the newspapers of ’the country—those of the yellow type—and some few rep resentatives in congress are working themselves into a floe fretisy upon the situation in Cuba, and are calling lor war, the business men of all sections are attending to their affairs just about in the ordinary fashion. The reports of the two great commercial agencies for the week just past show that there has been no falling off in the volume of trade, while for last week there were fewer business failures than there were during the corresponding week of last year. .The Wisconsin supreme court has just rendered a decision which will be of interest to municipal corporations and street railway companies in all parts of the country. It is to the ef fect that there can be no extension of street railway lines beyond the city limits, even though a franchise has been granted, without the award of damages where property owners obs jtet. It also makes no difference whether or not the companies have the right to carry freight and express matter. The court says that the ad vent of electricity has brought the street railway very clean to the status of the steam railway. The Louisiana suffrage plan, adopt ed by the constitutional convention on Fiday, is essentially a Louisiana pro duct. It is, according to the New Or leans Picayune, modeled after the constitution ol neither Mississippi nor South Carolina, but contain* provis ions distinctively peculiar nud unique. The Picayune believes that it will be invulnerable to attack either in con gress or the supreme court of the United States, and that it is in har mony with the Federal constitution.

Ba Told the Story to the rUlUa’a Ship . wrecked Faaaeugera- In the Matter of Werve He Went the Amateur Photog rapher One Better. ■ • It was a coxy room, with antique ■ bangings end furniture and while fating with handsome works of art which J oould be only indistinctly seen by the I light of the flickering lire on the hearth. The little party agreed with tho beau- ■ tlful hostess that the room was just dark enough for a ghost story. “I don't know a ghotet story, ’’ said one of the ' men, "but the dramatic reacue of the Veen dam’s passengers by tho St. Louis reminds me of my experience on board ’ the old Gallia when she was caught in a hurricane in midwinter about 700 miles from Queenstown. Tho waves broke in our decks and flooded the cab ins, and nobody thought for a little while that any one on board the vessel 1 would ever see land again. There was no panic, no shouting, no weeping, and ' it seemed that all were perfectly pre pared to go, though they looked far from nappy floundering about in the water dressed in such garments as they could grasp when they were aroused from their sleep by the crash which sent tons of water into the ship. It was about 7 o’clock in the morning. The stewards had begun to set the table for breakfast, and, os 1 recall the picture, I can see men and women, most of them with heavy wraps over their night dresses, standing on tho table and danc ing a forced minuet between the guard rails and the dishes. “At one end of tho cabin, while others were silently praying, stood a young fel low with nothing on but a suit of blue and white pyjamas, holding a snap camera in front of him. ‘lf you folks’ll hold still a minute,’ he said, ‘wo’ll have a picture of this if woever got out of it.’ And for a moment people forgot the terrible situation, and I have always believed that onoof the women adjusted her water soaked gown so that she might look well in the picture taken under the shadow of the destroying an gel. “ Well, we got through it all right, although wo came to Liverpool in a sad ly battered condition, and when they hoisted the trunks from the hold the water ran out of them as though each piece was a sieve. We had service on board the ship the Sunday following our disaster, and, although two days had passed since wo thought wo were gone, we seemed only then to appreciate fully what had happened. Men and wo men who had shown no sign of fear now moped in corners with trembling lips, unable to speak because of tho lump in their throats, and tho service of song was a flat failure, because no one could sing any more than tho young woman at the organ could got a noto out of that water soaked, dripping piece of furni ture. “Wo reached Liverpool too late at night to leavo tho ship, and the men, who had become better acquainted than they would have been on a loss tem pestuous voyage, gathered in the saloon and for the hundredth time exchanged congratulations. This was nothing,’said our purser, ' ‘to the experience I once had, and not so long ago. To go down with all hands must bo hard enough, but to be tho only one of a whole shipful to go and to see all tho rest saved—that’s pretty hard. That camo near being my case, and I don’t want another similar experience. “ ‘I was an officer on the Ohio when she knocked a hole in her bottom, and I helped transfer tho passengers and save what we oould. When all had boon sent to tho ship which camo to our re lief, wo made ready for tho last boat load, of which I was to bo one. Wo had a lot of money and vtiluables in the ship’s safe, and I went below, took a tablecloth from tho cabin table, and into this dumped thecontents of the various compartments of tho safe. I made a bag of it, carried it on deck, and when I came to where the boat should have been I found that it had gone, and I, with tho treasure, was left in the rapidly sinking ship. I can think of any number of situations which I would have preferred to mine just then. The wind being against me, I could not make myself heard. I put up signals, and no one would ever guesrwhat I did then. I wanted to keep my wits about me and block all chances for nervous ness, so I did what requires a man’s full attention—began to shave, and I doubt whether I ever did a cleaner*or a better job. “ ‘By the time I had finished my companions must have missed me, for I oould see them returning, and when they came alongside there were not many inches to step down from the sinking big boat to the little thing that took us away. I tell you thus story to show how necessary it is to have nerve on board ship ’ ’’ “And did he tell it for a true-story?” asked the hostess. “He swore to every detail. ” "Then he did have nerve ’•>—New York Tribune The Dear Child.
