U : o-s, FIT7.IIUC1H Lkk, who Is sitting on thu powder can, does not gut no ox cited an some of the warriors who lire nniniiii the battle at a range of sev eral hundred miles. A ciooi many ijeople are expecting the guns to boom about next Mon day, but they are likely to be disap pointed. War will hardly begin until all the warships and guns in the mar' ut have been bought up. Tine launching of the two new battleships, the Kentucky and the Kearsarge, comes at an opportune time, and although they are still to bo equipped with their machinery and lighting inechauiMu, they are a source of material comfort at this particular time when they may be needed before they have time for their paint to dry. Their launching marks an era in the history of the American navy. Thoso two ships, which are of 11,525 tons displace ment, are larger than any others in the navy, and their main buttarieffof 23 guns, besides, the.' secondary bat terieH and machine guns, make tlieui the peers of anything that floats. Petitions said to contain the sig natures of 25,000 business men have been sent to the Chicago Representa tives in Congress, asking tlieni to favor the passage of the "Anti-scalp-Ing" bill now before that body. As the sole claim of the ticket scalper Is that ho benefits the traveling public by giving it transportation at re duced rates, it is evident either that these 25,000 alleged business men are singularly indiiTerent to their own" ' xeresis, or unit tlie scalper is nuisance, and who does more harm than good. Ho flourishes principally in tho West, and tho Chicago busi ness men are in a position to know all about him. If they have really i. denounced l'!m, the sooner lie is smbolteLca the better. The iii'in who, imagines that the course of nlfuirs at Washington is at all uncertain or guess work is en tirely in tho wrong. In spite of the popular custom of flippantly criticis ing tho ordinary Congressman, it is a fact that Congress and the President's advisors aro selected from among tho brainy men of tho country, and Con gress, with the rest of tho govern ment, is fully competent to handle any difllcult question that may arise. Tho President has had tho provis ions of international law thoroughly studied. Ho knows what preced ents may be followed. Congressmen aro familiar with parallel history. They know to quite a mathematical certainty through what avoyuo every stop of diplomacy will lead, and what will mean war. Tho executive and legislative branches of the gov ernment are competent to decide what tho present complica tion demands, and they aro wife to trust uudertho circumstances. If the representatives of the .Nation, having made the situation a study for months, conclude that war is tho ultimatum, that is enough. They will tell theirreasons, and tho reasons will be satisfactory to tho country. They aro conservative men, yet judicious and courageous. The Con gressman will make a speech for poli- cal effect when it is appropriate, but when tho higher need of his country calls for his wiser counsel it is just as available. And if tho situation is not ono Justifying war w may trust and bo grateful to tho man who can settle a troublesome muttor without tho sacrifice of lives and property. If wo aro to have war tho cause is just. If we are not, tliero is no occasion for It. The govern ment 1b amply able to decide what shall be the future, and tho pooplo will sustain tho government either way. la mado n ncccs- n n eHy by Iho Jin- ivieaicine puro condition of tho blood after win ter's licarty foods, and lu'calhin viti ated air in homo, oQlco, scliooh-ooiu or sliop."

Hopkins, cashier of the People's bank, died nt his home here, nnd It wns announced that he was a victim of henrt disease. Yesterday It was discovered that ho had committed oulclde by nJioothiK. and the bank was closed pending nu Investigation of Its nffnlrs. It has been developed that Hopkins had transactions with lllch ard F. Loper, of the Guarantors' Finance company, which assigned the other day, nnd President James He matics, of the bank, declared In answer to n question that "$150,000 would not be n Ilea bite In eompailson with tho bank's loss," although It wns Impos sible to learn Just what nmount was Involved. Mi. I.ojier was summoned before tho bank directors yesterday. After the meeting he snld to a reporter: "I have done nothing to bo nshained of, and my transactions with the bank were nil above board, but 1 consider It prudent nt present to say no more." The closing of the People's bank re called to many bankers and Ilnnnclal men the similarity between the careers of Mr. McMnncs and Mr. Slngerly.

Tho Mninirovo Soils to Itnvnun to llrlnir Awny tlin Mntno'n Oflleors. Key West, Mnrch 2G. The press bul letin that the court of Inquiry had found the Mnlne wns blown up bv n submarine mine created intense ex citement here. It was rend by eager crowds, which Included llenr Admiral Slcard, elderly captains nnd young cadets. ' As frequently stated In these dis patches, most of the naval nincers at Key West have held to the opinion, shared by nil the ofllcers of the Maine, that the warship was blown up by ex ternal menns. The minority, who, pre vious to yesterdny, had expressed the ronvlctlon that the court would bo lin nblo to determine the enuse, was hard to Ilnd. All were clnd to know thnt tho Mnlne's fate was not due to the negligence of her own ofllcers. Intense eagerness for further details Is mnnlfested on nil sides. Countless opinions lire offered as to the possi bility of war nnd arbitration, Discus sion Is ramnnnt on shin nnd land as to the outcome. The most significant development that followed the announcement of the court's report a development known to but few wns the sudden sailing of the lighthouse tender llnngrove for Havana, The Mangrove was lying quietly at the dock, loading buoys, when orders came about 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon for her to proceed to Havana and return with the of ficers of the Maine now there. Ofllcers of high rank were still reti cent. Hear Admiral Slcard, however, said: "Tho court of Inquiry brought In findings according to what Its members believed. Nothing could have made them do otherwise. If they had been able to fix the responsibility I feel sure they would not have shirked this duty." The attention of Hear Admiral Sl card was drawn to the fact that Spain had officially denied that Havana har bor wns mined. He replied: If Havana harbor were mine, I should certainly have mined It. Tho water there Is especially suitable to such a. method of defense. Spain's de nial had- nothing to do with the court of Inquiry. I should not believe a statement that tho Havana harbor was not mined. I hardly suppose much ex citement will be caused by the an nouncement of the verdict, as I am un der the Impression that 09 per cent of our own people were already convinced that the Maine was blown up exter nally, and I scarcely think their Ideas would have changed, even If the court had reported otherwise." When the possibility of arbitration and the ensuing entanglement was suggested to him Hear Admiral Slcard said: "The Maine case Is nothing In com parison with the Alabama claims. Then we were opposed to a powerful commercial rival, but now we are deal ing with Spain." "Twenty '.ninoi-n IClllorl. Brussels, March 20.
