STONE, of Warren. (Subject to the decision of the Republican State Convention.] For President .Judge, B. W. GREEN, of Cameron, [Subject to the decision ofthe Republican District Convention.] WASHINGTON LETTER. \From our Itrgulzr Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May IG, 1808. President Mclvinley's greatest anxiety to-day arises from the fear that the Cape Verde Spanish licet, now believed i > be headed for Cuba, may escape the licet of Ad miral Sampson, which did such good work in destroying the forti fications in the harbor at San .Jnan, I'orro Rico, last week, and the flying squadron of Commodore Schley, which is now being given its lirst opportunity to show what it can do in the lighting line, and get safely into some Cuban harbor. ilAviil make 110 difference in the end—not a vessel in that Spanish fleet will escape destruction or capture—but it would lie much easier to destroy the fleet on the open sea than it will be after it gets into a fortified Cuban harbor. And besides, that fleet has supplies for the Spanish in Cuba which it is very desirable to keep away from them. The coming o; the Spanish fleet has naturally resulted in holding up all plans for the invasion of Cuba is really very advantageous to us, as it will enable us to make the invasion with a much larger and better prepared army, it has been found that many of ihe vol unteers are poorly equipped, and it will take time to gather the new equipment for them. Spending a. short while in camp will also be greatly beneficial to the volunteers: it will get them in condition to stand a campaign in Cuba. The several fights which have taken place in < 'ubau harbors be tween our blockading ships and the Spaniards during the last few days have been entirely satisfactory totlie administration. Formidable batteries have been destroyed, two Spanish cables have been cut, many Spaniards have been killed, and our loss has been compara tively small. The crews of block ading ships have proven themselves brave and fearless in carrying out t lie most dangerous orders—the men who cut the two cables in the harbor of Cienfuegos having done so in open boots, under heavy lire from batteries and from small arms. There a lot of rumors in circula tion concerning Speaker Reed's op position to the adoption ofthe joint resolution for the annexation of Hawaii, which was favorably re ported to the House last week, and his intention to prevent its being voted upon. There is no foundation for these rumors further than the wishes of those who started them. The resolution will be voted upon, and will be adopted by a large majority. This state ment iw made on undoubted au thority. There, is no possibility that the amended war revenue bill which has been reported to the Senate from its Finance Committee can ever became a l.tv\. In fuoi, there is doubt whether it could pass the Senate in its present condition. In iddition to striking out 11 ic clause ant liori/.iii'j ti e , sue of bonds—lln only certain way in which the gov ernment caii at short notice raise all the money that may be needed to fight the war to ajvictorious end tin* amended I>ill provides for an additional issue " oigreenbacks amounting to 81 00,000.000, a pro position that the House over whelming voted down before pass ing the bill, and the coining of the so-called seignorage of the silver bullion owned by the government, 812,000.000,000 in silver certifi cates to be issued in advance of the coinage. Representative Steele, of Ind., a prominent member of the House Ways and Means Commit tee, said, after reading the bill re ported to the Senate: ''The majority of the Senate Finance Committee seem to think that this government can carry on an ex pensive war on wind." Chairman Dingley said of the amended bill: "The Bryan Democracy appears to have abandoned free silver and gone back to fiat money, pure and simple. 1 am now wondering what the Republicans who left their party and enlisted under the Bryan banner in order to secure the free and unlimited coinage of silver will say to that proposition. What's the use of going to all the trouble and expense of coining r>o cent silver dollars when you can print paper dollars in unlimited quanti ties and amounts at slight trouble and expense." The bond clause is certain to be restored to Ihe bill by a vote of the Senate. Representative Cousins, of lowa, who has been known as an anti annexationist, but who voted in I favor of the resolution providing for Hawaiian annexation which ; was reported from the committee on Foreign Affairs, of which he is a member, said significantly of our : possession of the Philippine Islands: "No other power or con cert of powers can be allowed to have anything to say as to how long the I . S. shall retain posses sion of those islands. We are at war with Spain, and the capture of the islands is one of the incidents of that war. No other power has anything to say about it. Senator Sewell has positively declined to accept the commission of major general in the volunteer army, preferring to remain in the Senate. It is not what a manufacturer says about his own medicine that cures a patient, but what the medicine does.

Their Sympathies Are With the United States- ONE EXCEPTION NOTED. Ho Represents tho Niagara District j In Parliament. 1 tailed Down by Sir Wilfrid Latirier, the Premier, Who Did Not Hesitate to De fine t'amula'H Position In the War l.e- Iween the I'ntted States atxl Spain. Senor Polo Iternabe, I.ate Spanish Min ister to Washington, the Subject of ln«]iiiry In Pal'l iamellt Who Was tliarßffl With ('sing Canada as a Itasis | of Operation Against the United States. | The Anglo-Saxon Alliance Also Drought t'p and Vociferously Cheered. OTTAWA, May 10.—The war was in- i i cidentally discussed in parliament. In ; j the first place Mr. Charlton protested j ; against the presence of Senor Polo, late , | Spanish ambassador to Washington, in I Canada if it were correct that he and j his friends were using Canada as a i | basis of operation against the United States. The premier replied that British'soil was a refuge for all refu gees, and as long as the hospitality | extended was not abused nothing could j ' be done. In this case the government had no information against Senor Polo. | As soon as litis was disposed of Mr. McCleary from the Niagara district j attacked the Canadian alien labor bill | and asked that it be amended. 1 -i i | this connection he said that while all ! parties in Canada would pray that the i American people would come out vie- ! torlous, still there were not a few in j Canada who would like to sec the i j United States get a bit of a spanking ! because of its unfriendly treatment to i Canada. Dissent came front all over j the house. | Sir Wilfrid Lau.icr rose with some ■ ; warmth to reply to this statement. ! j The premier said: "I sincerely hope j my honorable friend, who has taken S I his seat, in his utterances, which at I | the moment called for the expressions I i of dissent, speaks his own personal j ! felling and not the feeling of the party, j I I would rather hope that upon the ! I present concession. though we are ! | bound to be neutral and must be neu- i j tral in the present difficulties between j the United States and Spain. I should j I like to believe that if there is a feeling I at all apart from our duty as neutrals 1 it is a feeling of sympathy for those \ '■ who arc our neighbors and who share | ! the continent with us." j Sir Wilfred went onto say that no ! | matter how inefficient the alien labor ; i law might be he would deplore the idea ' j of amending or interfering with it at j | the present time. "For my part," lie I went onto say, "1 would rather sub- | | mit to some inconvenience even if the j | law were deficient, than to at this mo- | ! ment, when it is possible that the j ; mother country and the Amorli ;:n na- ! tion may assume more friendly n la- ; tions than they have ever assumed be j fore than do ever so small an act , i which would Impair what we expect to j take place." ! Sir Charles Tupp.r expressed entire | acquiescence in what the premier had ! ; said, and concluded his speech with the ! following words: "While we are bound j to respect that complete neutrality j that has been proclaim* d by the parent ! state in reference to the war between the United States and Spain, neverthe- I less i feel that we ran not forget the people of Canada as of Croat liritalc are but one branch of that great Ens lish-speaking family and that the in- j terests of peace, the interests of civil- I j ization, and the interests of the world j would be promoted by the most cor- | 1 dial co-operat! HI between the two great branch nations." |;ch- is.J An Enterprising Druggist. There are few men more wide-awake I and enterprising than L.

From the Fair hare n (N. Y.) fief/inter. Mr. James Rowland of this village, states that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheuma tism A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but ho had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and in-tead of going for the phy sician he went to the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife (lid not approve of Mr. Rowland's purchase tit first, but nevertheless applied the balm thor oughly and in an hour's time was able togo to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her as much good.
