movement of coal west was some

hopefulness that the early opening of

Tho month of llureli, now ending,

A Business Force.
The convention of the Merchants'
Association, bold in New York city a
few days ago, was productive. of much
benefit to the retail merehants. A
topic which interested those in atten
dance, and which is worthy a repro
duction in our columns, was "Adver
tising as a Uusiness Force," tho
speaker being H. C. Ogdon. lie said
in part
"Wo all know that advertising is a
business force, and a great power
that has to bo rocognized most thor
oughly. Concerning tho principles
that have to do witli it I am not ut
all clear myself. If I should under
take to make an unalysis of retail
business 1 should divid tho subject
into three parts tho merchandise,
the service and tho advertising. All
threo are equal in their importance
to the other ; but I should character
ize tho advertising as tho dynamic
power of the business.
"With the public mind fixed upon
business as it now is, with tho compe
tition that exists between the traders,
it is undoubtedly tliH fact that with
out advertising of the proper kind, a
business cannot bo successfully prose
cuted to any largo degree. There
fore. T consider tho advertising as tho
force that is to vitalize all tho other
work that may bo put into the busi
ness.
" I should say that one mistake of
the advertising merchant is that he
does not take advertising snillciently
seriously. It is regarded as an ele
ment that is somehow important,
but yet a little strange. It is not
thought of, I think, generally as
holding the very serious and import
ant relation to the public at large
and to tho business itself that it
really should occupy. Therefore, 1
think that a retail merchant cannot
possibly exaggerate to Ills own mind
tho importance of the relation of his
advertising to his business.
"A great (leal of advertising fails
of its results because tho advertiser
gets discouraged. The most success
ful advertising that I have ever
known is that which has been ex
ploited on a very largo scale. The
man who has had tho courage to ad
vertise to a certain extent and spent
$20,000 should have the courage to
spend another $3,000, and vitalize all
tho rest. Lack of eourugo is ono of
the most common experiences of ad
vertisers. I am speaking now of
newspaper advertising and tho adver
tising of gonoral morchandiso.
"Advertising taken seriously in the
retail business makes the polloy of
the business; it Is the fundamental
thing, tho corner-stone. Therefore it
demands the attention of the head of
the business. I cannot think of any
concern so large in its alfairs, so ex
tended in its ramifications, with so
many responsibilities resting upon
tho head of tho business as to make
the advertising subservient to tho
general manugoiuent of the business;
to make the head of tho biibluebs
ignore tho advertising.
"Tho column of the newspaper is
the merchant's rostrum. It is his
pulpit. It Is his stump. Prom that
lie addresses the publlo at large.
Prom that ho speaks to his constitu
ency. Ho speaks to his audionco. Ad
vertising is the channel through
which the merchant speaks to the
people he desires to address.
"Hut if a man Is not going to waste
his money in advertising it must
never be stupid. It should bo put in
xiinplo and forceful language. I have
yery long hold that advertising has
taken Its nlaee in the literature of
the laud. It is ono of the marks of
the development of tho intelligence
of our country. Intelligent readers
are looking at it, not only as a mero
exploiting of morchandiso, but as
characteristic literature of our times.
"In order to gain tho respect of an
intelligent community, advertising
must be in first rate English. That
cuts both ways. It not only com
mands the respect of the Intelligent
and the critical reader, but It convoys
Its senna to the ordinary reader. To
the nnorltlcal reader, the tingrum
niatlcal man, it conveys the sense far
more qulokly than can be done in

After full and mnturo consideration

finds ns follows:
1. Thnt the United Stntes bnttleshlp
Maine nrrlved In the hnihor of Hnvnna,
Cubn, on the 25th day of January, 1898,
nnd was taken to buoy No. 4, In from
five to six fathoms of water, by tho
regular government pilot.
The United Stntes consul general nt
Hnvnna hnd notified the authorities
at that plnee, tin; previous evening, of
the Intended nrrlval of the Maine.
2. The state of discipline on oonrd
the Maine wns excellent, and nil orders

on three "Sides at fill "limes, and tlio
fourth nlde nt this time on account of
bunkers H 4 nnd IJ 0 belnir empty. This
hunker, A 1G, hnd been Inspected Mon-
tlny by tho engineer oinccr on duty.
The tiro nlarms In the bunkers were
In worklnR order, and thero had never
been n case of spontaneous combustion
of coal on bonrd the Mnlne.
The two nfter boilers of the ship were
In use nt the time of the disaster, but
for auxiliary purposes only, with u
comparatively low pressure of steam
and belnB tended by a reliable watch.
These boilers could not have caused
the explosion of the ship. The four
forward boilers have since been found
by tho divers nnd are in a fair con
dition. On the night of the destruction of
the Mnlne everything had been re
ported secure for the nlnht at S p. m.
by reliable persons, through Hie proper
authorities, to the commanding of
ficer. At the time the Mnlne wns de
stroyed the ship wns quiet, and there
fore least liable to accident caused by
movements from those on board.
3. The destruction of the Mnlne oc
curred at 9:40 j. m. on the 15th day of
February, 1898, in the harbor of Ha
vana, Cuba, she being at the time
moored to the same buoy to which she
had been taken upon her nrrlval.
There were two explosions of n dis
tinctly different character, with n very
short but distinct Interval between
them, nnd the forwnrd part of the
ship was lifted to a marked degree at
the tlmo of the first explosion.
The first explosion was more In the
nature of a report, llko that of n gun
while the second explosion was more
open, prolonged, and of greater vol
ume. This second explosion was, In
tho opinion of the court, cnused by the
partial explosion of two or more of
the forward magazines of tho Maine.
4. Tho evidence bearing upon this, ba
ins principally obtained from divers
did not enable the court to form a def
inite conclusion as to the condition of
the wreck, although It was established
that the after part of the ship wns
practically Intact and sank in that
condition a very few mlnttlea after tho
destruction of the forward part.
The following facts in regard to tho
forward part of the ship nre, however,
estnbllshed by the testimony.
That portion of tho port side of the
protective deck which extends from
.about frame 20 to about frame 41 wns
b. vn up aft, and over to port. Tho
main deck from about frame 30 to
about frame 41 wns blown up aft, and
slightly over to starboard, folding the
forward part of the middle superstruc
ture over and on top of the after part.
This was, In tho opinion of tho court,
caused by the partial explosion of two
or more of tho forwnrd magazines of
the Maine.
5. At frame 17 the outer shell of the
ship from a point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle lino of the ship
and six feet above the keel when in its
normal position has been forced iy so
as to be now about four feet above the
surface of the water; therefore, about
31 feet above where It would bo had the
ship sank uninjured. The outside bot
tom plating is bent Into, a reversed V
shape, the after wins of which, nbout
IB feet broad and 32 feet in length
(from frnme 17 to frame 25), Is doubled
back upon Itself agnlnst the contlnun
tlon of the same plating extending for
ward. At frame 18 the vertical keel Is
broken in two, and the Hat keel -bent
Into an nnglc similar to the angle
formed by the outside bottom plating.
This break is now about six feet be
low the surface of the water, and
about 30 feet above Its normal posi
tion.
In the opinion of tho court this ef
fect could have been produced only by
the explosion of a mine situated under
the bottom of the ship ut about frame
18, and somewhat on the port Bide of
the ship.
C. Tho court finds that tho loss of the
Maine, on the occasion named, was
not In any respect due to fault or
negligence on the part of any of the
odlcers or members of the crew of said
vessel.
7. In tho opinion of the court the
Maine was destroyed by tho explosion
of a submarine mine, which caused the
partial explosion of two of her forward
magazines.
8. The court has been unable to ob
tain evidence fixing the responsibility
for the destruction of the Maine upon
any person or persons.

uccustoming the people to tin- pres
ence of our Hng as the symbol of good
will nnd of our ships In the fulfillment
of the mission of prateitlmi to Ameri
can Interests, even tin urn no Immedi
ate- need therefor might exist.
Accordingly on the 21th of January
las,, after conference with the Spanish
minister, In which the lcnewal of visits
of our war vessels to ftianlsh wntcrs
was discussed tind accepted, the penin
sular authorities at Madrid and Ha
vana wore ndvlsed of the purpose of
this government to resume friendly na
val visits at Cuban ports, and that in
that view the Maine would forthwith
call at the port of Havana. This an
nouncement wns received by the Span
ish government with appreciation of
the friendly character of the visit of
the Maine, nnd with notification of the
Intention to return the courtesy by
sending Spnnlsh ships to the principal
ports of the United States. Meanwhile
the Mnlne entered the port of Havana
on tho 25th of January, her arrival be
ing marked with no special Incident
besides the exchange of customary sa
lutes and ceremonial visits.
The Maine continued In tho harbor
of Havana during the three weeks fol
lowing her nrrlval. No appreciable ex
citement attended her stay; on the
contrary, a fellng of relief nnd con
fidence followed the resumption of tho
long Interrupted friendly Intercourse.
So noticeable was this Immediate ef
fect of her visit that the consul gen
eral strongly urged that the presence
of our ships In Cuban waters should
be kept up by retaining the Maine at
Havana, or In the event of her recall
by sending another vessel there to tako
her place.
At 40 minutes past 9 in the evening
of the 16th of February the Maine wns
destroyed by an explosion, by which
the entire forwnrd part of the ship
was utterly wrecked. In this catas
trophe two officers and 264 of her crew
perished those who were not killed out
right by her explosion bc-ins penned
between decks by the tangle of wreck
age z.Ti& drowned by the immediate
sinking of the hull. Prompt assistance
was rendered by tho neighboring ves
sels anchored In the harbor, aid being
especially given by the boats of the
Spanish cruiser Alphonse XII and the
Ward line steamer City of Washington,
which lay not far distant. The wound
ed were generously cared for by the
authorities of Hnvnna, tho hospitals
being freely opened to them, while tho
earliest recovered bodies of the dead
were Interred by the municipality In
the public cemetery in the city. Trib
utes of grief and sympathy were of
fered from all official quarters of tho
Island.
The nppnlllng calamity fell upon the
people of our country with crushing
force, and for a brief time an intense
excitement prevailed, which In a com
munity less Just and self controlled
than ours might have led to hasty acts
of blind resentment. This spirit, how
ever, soon gnve wny to the calmer pro
cesses of reason and to the resolve to
Investigate the facts and await mate
rial proof before forming a Judgment
as to the cause, the responsibility, and,
as the facts warranted, the remedy.
This course necessarily recommended
Itself from tho outset to the executive,
for only In the light of a dispassionate
ly ascertained certainty could It de
termine the nature and measure of Its
full duty In the matter.
The usual proceedure was followed,
as In all cases of casualty or disaster
to national vessels of any maritime
state. A naval court of inquiry was at
once organized, coiriposed of officers
well qualified by rank and practical
experience to discharge the duty Im
posed upon them. Aided by a strong
force of wreckers and divers, the court
proceeded to mnke a thorough investi
gation on tho spot, employing every
available means for the Impartial and
exact determination of the cause of
the explosion. Its operations have been
conducted with the utmost delibera
tion and Judgment, and whllo Independ
ently, pursued no source of Informn
tlon was neglected, and tho fullest op
portunity was allowed for a simul
taneous Investigation by the Spanish
authorities.
The finding of tho court of Inquiry
was reached after 23 days of continu
ous labor, on the 21st of March, and
having been approved on the 22d by
the commander-in-chief of tlte United
States naval force oa tho North At
lantlc station, was transmitted to the
executive.
It Is herewith laid before tho con
gress, together with the voluminous
testimony taken before the court.
Its purport Is In brief as follows
When tho Malno nrrlved ut Hnvnna
Bho was conducted to tfio regular gov
eminent pilot buoy No. 4, to which she
wns moored In from five nnd one-half
to bIx fnthoms of water.
The state of discipline on board and
the condition of her magazines, boilers,
coal bunkers and storage compart
ments are passed In review, with the
conclusion that excellent order prevail
ed, and that no Indication of any cause
for an Internal explosion existed In
any quarter.
At 8 o'clock In the evening of Feb,
IB everything had been reported secure,
and ull was quiet. At 40 minutes past
9 o'clock the vessel wns suddenly do-
Btroyed.
There were two distinct explosions,
with a brief Interval between them
Tho first lifted the forward part of the
ship very perceptibly; the Becond,
which was more open, prolonged and
of greater volumo, Is attributed by the
court to the partial explosion of two or
more of the forward magazines.
The evidence of tho divers establishes
that the after part of the shin was
practically jntnr-t and sank In that con
dition a very few minutes after tho ex
plosion. Th forwnrd nart was rnm.
ptetely demolished;
Upon the evidence of a concurrent
externnl cause tho finding of the court
Is as follows:
t frame 17 the outer shell of the
ship, from a point lHi feet from tho
middle lino of the ship and six feet
above the keel when In ltR normal po
sition, has been forced up so as to be
now nbout four feet above the sur
face of the water, therefore about 34
feet about whero It would be had tho
ship sunk uninjured.
The outside bottom plating Is bent
Into a i-evcrrcd V shape, the after wing
of which, about IB feet brond and 32
feet In length (frame 17 to frame 25),
Is doubled back upon Itself against the
continuation of the same placing ex
tending forwnrd.
At frame IS tho vertical keel Is
broken In two and the Hat keel bent
Into nn nngle similar to the nngle farm
ed by the outside bottom plates. This
break Is now about rlx feet below the
surface of the water and about 30 feet
above Its not mat position.
In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the
explosion of a mine sltunted under tho
bottom of tho ship, nt about frame 18,
nnd somewhat on the port side of the
ship.
The conclusions of tho court are:
Thnt the lof-s of the Mnlne wns not
in nny respect dur to fault or neg
ligence on the part of any of tho of
ficers or members of her crow.
That the ship was destroyed by tho
ixplosiou of a submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or
more of her forwnrd magazines, and
That no evidence has been obtain
able fixing the responsibility for the
destruction of tho Mnlne upon any
person or rersons.
I have directed that the finding of
tho court of Inquiry and the views of
this government thereon bo communi
cated to the government of her ma
jesty, the queen regent, and I do not
permit myself to doubt thnt the sense
of Justice of tho Spnnlsh nation will
dlctnte a course of action suggested
by honor and the friendly relations of
the two governments.
It will be the duty of the executive
to advise congress of the result and In
tho meantime deliberate consideration
Is Invoked.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD
A fact often overlooked, ornot always under
stood, is that women sufier as much from dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, nnd for thnt reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe
male weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours ; a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull nching in the back
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning, these nre also con
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Koot, the great kidney remedy. The
mild nnd the extraordinary eflect will surprise
you. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take a medicine you should taVe
the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dol

pamphlet, both sent free by mail upon receipt
of three 2-ccnt stamps to cover postage.
