THE MORNING CALL. | yoL IX- No - 189 - moves slowly. "J i’ IT JAY PASS ITS WAR RESOLU TION TODAY- be More Warlike Than the BUeaolation Passed by the House Last Wednesday. F ■■ • " Washington, April 14—There will be a continuous session of the senate until a vote is reached on the war res olutions, which will not be latjr than tomorrow night. In spite of the ‘strength for the proposition to recognize the Gomes government, the senate will finally adopt the majority report of the com mittee on foreign relations. The house Teso’.utions are already dead, not to be resurrected. As be tween the two sets of reeofutione, the members of the house reaMy prefer those of the senate and wifi accept them in place of their uwo, while the purpose of the resolutions are the same. ‘ . The ronslo’s are by far more serious and the preamble more in line with the temper of congress. The Vole for and against recognition will, be very close. ■ Considerable resentment is felt in the senate over the reported statement from the white house that the presi dent would vet) any resjlutione, whatever they might be, in view of the passage in his message wherein be turned over the whole_ matter to congress to settle, expressing bis in tention to abide by its decision * ’ . ' The hope that Spain will advance some new proposition and thereby de lay the day of war or bring us one nearer a period of peace is fading even from the .atmosphere of Senator Elkins, who had persistently adhered with sublime faith in peace. The Spanish ipioister has informed the state department that any resolu tions which demand the evacuation of the island under threat of armed inter vention means war. The representatives of European countries SQConetrne the resolutions. There is a rumor which seems to come from some well informed source to the effect that if there is sufficient delay here the continental powers will go so far as to make a demand upon thia government not to land any of its troops on the island of Cuba. Senator Davis’report yesterday gave the powers to understand in clear and distinct language that this govern ment would not at any lime brook any interference with affairs on this con tinent. The resolution which will pass the senate before it adjourns is substan tially the same as. the majority resolu tion in the house which was passed yesterday afternoon by a vole, 322 to 19,»xcept that the Senate resolution calls also for the immediate evacuation of Cuba by Spain and brings out She Maine incident more prominently/ Mobilisation of Soldiers. Washington, April 13—Complete arrangements have been made for the immediate mobilization of practically the entire military force of the gov ernmental the Chickamauga nation al park at the first sign of trouble. It is expected, in case of necessity, a call will be issued for about 40,000 troops, preferably from the national guard of the different states and territories General Flagler, chief of the bureau of ordnance of the army, is bending every effort toward the supplying of the Seacoast fortifications with ther ap id-fire and other formidable guns. This wav a day of stiriog activity at the navy and war departments. An ticipating decisive action by congress, the machinery of the military and naval branches of the government was early pul in motion, and events of grave significance followed in quick succession. The first event to become known was the acquisition by tbe na vy department of tbe American line steamships, St. Louis and St. Paul. t It is said tbe price paid lor them was $5,000,000.

Unrepresented in Cuba. Inquiry at the state department I discloses the fact that the United States has no representatives in Cuba upon whom it cau depend for official f information in regard to the progress i of events on that island, and that it will be compelled to rely, until other i 1 arrangements are made, on the reports of the Spanish' government for tofor mstion iu that lino. According to an official at the de-* partment, the British consular officers in Cuba are expected only to care for the archives and property of tbe Uni ted States consulates turned over to them os the departure of the Ameri can representatives Saturday, and to look after tbe interests of the- Ameri cans still on the island, who may ap ply to them for protection or redrew. It ia said to be no part of their duty to keep the United States state depart ment informed of political or other developments in Cuba, and that the 7 department will not call upon them for any special service of information unless it becomes absolutely necessary by stress of circumstances. It is more than probable, however, that if anything important should happen, in which the United States has a direct interest, tbe British con sular officers might consider it an act of friendship or comity touring it to the attention of tbe Secretary of State, either through the London foreign of fice or the British ambassador at Washington. Notwithstanding this apparent lack of facilities for obtaining official infor mation of affairs on the island, tbe of ficials of the administration express confidence in their ability to keep properly informed of tbe course of events in Cuba, especially with refer ence to the developments which may result from tbe proposition of Spain for cessation of hostilities on the island. The Lord’s Prayer by Booth. < “I think,” says James O’Neill, in his talk about the Booths, according to the Kansas City Times, “the most thrilling experience I ever passed through was in New York one time,-wtaa quite by acci dent a number of foreign diplomats from Washington, a few American statesmen, some prominent New Yorkers and one or two of us professionals were gathered to gether in a smoking room of the Fifth Av enue Hotel, when somebody asked Booth, who by the merest chance happened to be there, if he would not repeat the Lord’s Prayer for the assemblage. ”We were all breathless with anxiety, at least I was, for seldom would he ever re cite off the stage but at length he arose, walked to a little cleared space at one end oi the room and began a recital that even after all these years makes me thrill through and through. He said ‘Our Father,’ and never before had those two wordu been clothed with the majesty and reverence with which his look and tone enveloped them. And then he carried us in celestial regions, our spirits seeming to leave our bodies and follow his behest; he lowered us into depths too dark for Dan te’s genius to conceive or Dore's pen to portray; the power exerted over us was simply unnatural. His musically reson ant tones sounded slowly through the room, and as he swayed his lithe body we unconsciously followed his motion. It was something horrible, beautifal, terri ble, fascinating—l cannot find words in the language to express it. There are none. „ - “I would not go through the scene again for a thousand worlds and yet if I had the oppotunity I would brave any danger to bear it once more. Do you un derstand? These few-score words as de livered by Edwin Booth were the most powerful argument for Christianity that I ever heard and could every being on the face of the globe have heard them there would no longer be atheism. Booth strode out of the room when he finished, and a simultaneous sigh of relief arose, while without a word we stole away singly and on tiptoe, and I do not believe that any of us think of that thrilling eve ning without a shudder. He was a great man, a great man.” How’s This I We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward i for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J. Chbnby & Co., Toledo, O.

Righty years ago President Monroe of Spanish misgovernment of American possessions: "Spain’s territory ought not to be mafie instrumental, through her ins* bilify to defend it, to purposes so inju rious to the United Slates. To a country over which she fails to main tain her and which she permits to be converted to the annoy anc| of her neighbors, her jurisdiction for'the time necessarily ceases to ex ist.” The New York World adds this timiily comment to President Monroe’s wise words: "From that day to this Spain’s ina bility to defend and govern her Amer ican possessions has become more and mote 'instrumental to purposes injuri ous to the United States.’ From tbe early fifties until now there has been an Almost constant revolution in Cuba During all that time our commercial interests have been imperiled, our cit irons have been menaced in their lives and property, and our government has been put to enormous trouble and ex pense to prevent filibustering.
