The reception tendered William
Jennings Uryun at I'ottsvillo lust
evening, as tin' jiiii'bt ot tlio lli
Mctallic Lontrno of Schuylkill county,
via all that could bo desired. Tlio
distinguished guest was ulithiisiastl-
(Hlly received, without regit rd to
piirtisan considerations. The Hi
Metallic Iieague,whlch is responsible
for Mr. Aryan's visit to Schuylkill
enmity, is a strictly non-jmrtisaii or
giumatiuii, and was formed to ad
vance the cause for which our friend
JJryitn is laboring, and incidentally
to land him in the Presidential chair
in 11)00.
A largo audience greeted the Demo
cratic standard-bearer last night, and
Nhenandoah was prominently repre
sented. As an orator Mr. liryan has
few equals, and those who had the
pleasure of hearing the Xubraskan
last night were charmed by his ora
torical abilities. While one may
honestly differ with him on the finan
cial question, it must he admitted
that ills daring and independence, his
logical conclusions, are powerful
weapons in tho hands of one with the
oratorical abilities and pleasing ad
dress so prominent in the character
of tho defeated candidate for the
Presidency.
True, ninny who heard him last
night have an intense admiration for
the man, while many more were ac
tuated by curiosity and were, there
fore, not surprised by what ho said or
did. Mr. Bryan has a motive in
coming into Pennsylvania on a lec
turing tour at this particular time.
His appearance is not accidental. It
pays him well both llnaucially and
politically. Just at this time his
mission is political, and the fruits of
his visit are shown in the result of
tho Democratic state committee
meeting yesterday, which aillrms the
Chicago platform anil names liryan
as their candidate in 1!)0U.
The gold Democrats have been
quietly at work to induce their party
associates to make the light this year
on state issues, leaving out all na
tional questions. They were hopeful
of success until liryan was given the
tip and later appeared upon the scene
advocating his pot theory. There is
a dash in Mr. Bryan's make-up that
attracts tho masses and arouses their
enthusiasm. In 11 sense, he is magne
tic as well as ambitious ; and he has
infused renewed life into his followers
in this state, which bodes no good for
those members of the Democratic
party who diller witli him on econo
mic questions.
liryan created a good impression
on his hearers and dealt a body
blow to tho gold Democrats within
the party.
Anthracite and the Navy.
The supply of coal for tlio navy
seems to have created a good deal of
feeling in various parts of the coun
try, says the CoalTrade Journal, and
it is not unusual to find in the local
papers of the state where coal is
mined many articles upon this topic.
One of these, which has caused con
siderable comment, was tho statement
emanating from Pitts'jurg that a coal
pool hud been organized there to
corner all tho supply on the lower
rivers as far as Is'ew Orleans; that
even the barges of coal below Padu
cali had been secured, and that it
was the intention of the owners
thereof to Increase the price to the
government, about 7ii pur cent. This
matter was referred to in the halls of
Congress by Mr. Morgan, stating that
already "a great coal combination
was formed to control tho price of
coal."
Then we hear that West Virginia is!
making "great preparations In the
endeavor to huvo the state recog
nized in tho purchase of supplies,
that coal Is the chief product tho
statu can furnish and the West Vir
ginia Senators and Congressmen
think their state ought to be allowed
to supply the bulk of this article of
naval equipment and that any effort
which might be made on behalf of
Pennsylvania hard coal in furnishing
the navy with fuel, would be re
sisted by AVest Virginia to the ut
most extent," and that AVest Virginia
coal has been used to a great extent
heretofore and has proved to be "the
most valuable of fuels."
The representatives of the anthra
cite districts in Pennsylvania have
met with little success to provide for
the use of anthracite coal, because
they cannot sootiro the co-operation
in Congress thoy have reason to ex
poet.
It is claimed that people represent
ing the bituminous coal Interests, In
cluding "well-known Senators and
others iullueutiul with the President
and the legislators, have stepped in
mid will prevent any action by Con
greR tending to open the market for
anthracite."
The soft coal people have tho better
of those In this region, because they
control tho legislative machinery of
the dominant party. It is true the
anthracite operators ought to be n
power in this respect, hut they are
not. They contribute largely to tho
campaign fund of the party in power,
and "in return for that they should
have the benefit of some considera
tion when it comes down to tho pur
chase of coal for our ships."
The men of this region should read
the riot act to the-o political bosses,
and give them to understand that un
less anthracite is used more exten
sively by the government, they need
expect little support from those who
initio that product.

SPAIN NOTIFIED
That She Must at Onco Ktilell.ito the
Island oT Cuh.l.
Washington, April 21. Yesterdny was
a day of events in the history ot the
Cubun question. The signing; by the
president of the Joint lesolutlon re
quiring intervention In Cuba, the noti
fication or that action to the Spanish
minister here, his demand for pass
ports, the department's piompt reply to
that demand, the departure of the min
ister and the transmission of our ulti
matum that Spain must evacuate Cuba
and must make answer by Saturday,
through Minister Woodford, followed
In rapid succession. The next step Is
Spain's answer, If she Is to make any,
and the movement of the United States'
army and navy on Cuba.
Enrly In the morning the execution of
the program for the day began with a
conference between Assistant Secretary
Day. ex-Secietary Foster and Second
Assistant Secretary Atlee, in which the
wishes of the president and cabinet as
to the ultimatum were reduced to dip
lomatic form. The other events suc
ceeded each other with rapidity. The
ultimatum was sent to the Spanish
minister by Judge Day's personal mes
senger, Kdward Savoy, who was ap
pointed to his place in 1SC9 by Ham
ilton Fish. The messenger returned in
the course of an hour with the min
ister's application for his passports.
It was not until 3:30 In the afternoon
that Savoy made his second trip, car
rying with him the desired paper. This
was a passport for the minister and
Ills family and suite. It was not In the1
usual form, but was what Is known as
a special passport. In general terms it
Is similar to that presented to Lord
Sackvllle-West when that unfortunate
minister was obliged to retire.
At first there was some expectation
at the state department that a response
from Minister Woodford might be ex
pected before night. Later on, how
ever, after Judge Day had calculated
the length of time that would be con
sumed in the cabling of the ultimatum
to Minister Woodford. Its translation
Into cipher and retranslatlon, he be
came convinced that It would be prac
tically impossible, owing to the dif
ference In time between Washington
and Madrid, to receive a response so
soon. Therefore the following state
ment was posted at the department:
"The text of the ultimatum to Spain
will be given out by Mr. Porter, sec
retary to the president, at the White
House sometime tomorrow, probably."
Spain Mny lliisieu .Matters.
The next move must now be made
by Spain, according to the department
olllcials. If the Spanish government
takes a view, as might possibly be
concluded from the action of Its min
ister here, that In language and terms
the congressional resolution is Insult
ing, it may promptly hand Mr. Wood
ford his passports upon receipt of this
communication, and thus bring the
negotiations to the crisis and cause a
breach of diplomatic relations within
the next 24 hours. If, on the other
hand, It should neglect to return a
satisfactory answer before Saturday
noon, that line of policy will be quite
as effective as a positive act, inasmuch
as It would amount to refusal of the
demands of the United States.
In such case the president would pro
ceed Immediately to use tho naval and
military forces of the United States to
execute tho will of congress. How this
will be done, what steps shall first be
taken, whether Havana shall be block
aded or whether an attemut shall be
made to make a speedy campaign by
hurling a large force of troops to Ha
vana under cover of a bombardment
by a fleet, are all matters of mere
speculation. The experts of the army
and navy have laid their plans with
the greatest detail for the future, but
they do not hesitate to sav that any
attempt to make these public In ad
vance, to the manifest advantage of
Spain, would be actual treason.
An outline of the policy to be followed
by this government In the treatment of
neutrals and the matter of privateering
Is contained in the following state
ment: "In the event of hostilities between
the United Stales and Spain, It will
bo the policy of this government not to
resort to prlvau-eilng. The govern
ment will adhere to the following rules:

Things You Can Do
Just as Well as a Learned
Physician.
Often it is needless to consult a doctor.
At such times you can treat yourself
just as 'veil as the most learned phvsl
cian. When a man or woman is suffer
injl from Kidney disease, the doctor asks:
" Uo you desire to urinate often, and ate
you compelled to get up frequently at
night to make water? Do you have
pains in tho small of the hack? Does
your urine stain linen? Is there n scald
ing pain in passing water, and is it
dilHcult to hold the urlno hack?" If the
answer is "Yes" to any of these ques
tions, your Kidneys aro diseased and
decay has set in. Ask yourself these
questions, and answer them.
There is another thing you can do.
Put some of your urine in n glass tumbler
or bottle, and lot it stand 24 hours. If
theie is a sediment or powder-like sub
stance at the bottom, or a cloudy
appearance, there is grave danger. Your
Kidneys arc surely affected. Sufferers
with any of the above symptoms ought
to he glad to know that Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy will surely
relieve and cure even the most distress
ing cases. No living physician can pre
scribe a medicine for Kidncv, Madder.

This doctrine Is undoubtedly laid
down to meet the vailous Inquhles re

Word came to the navy department
that the Spanish ciulsers Pelayo, VIz

Cape de Verde Islands, In company
with the torpedo boat llntllla. It is re

Ijrmldable naval force, la the opinion

The department Is a good deal dis

now lying at Falmouth. England, and
Is casting nbout for means to bring her
to the United States witli safety, but
so far without success.
No purchases of ships were made
during yesterday, but the offerings
continue in undiminished numbers.
The military enthusiasm has spread
to the Capital, usually so undemon

with the Stais and Stripes. Along F

every building files tho Hag, and some
of the larger business houses took on
the appearance of an Inauguration day.
Several of them were literally covered
with red, white and blue bunting. In
the residental portions of the city many
private houses raised the colors, and
the city generally had a holiday as
pect. Passengers arriving from a distance
report that the enthusiasm was gen
eral In the country. Nearly every rail
way station was decorated, particu
larly along the routes of tho troops now
In motion. At every hamlet and villnge
the Hag was In evidence, and cheering
crowds everywhere greeted the mili
tary trains. In western and southern
cities the announcement of the signing
of tho ultimatum to Spain was herald
ed by the blowing of whistles and other
noisy demonstrations.

Washington, April 21. The Spanish
minister, accompanied by six members
of his staff, left Washington at 7:30
o'clock last night, and the Spanish
government thus terminated Its diplo
matic representation In the United
States. The minister and his party
left by the Pennsylvania railroad, going
northward to Ilufl'alo and Suspension
IJrldge, und thence t3 Toronto. By
10:40 o'clock this morning the Spanish
olllcials were on Drltlsh soil. They
will stop for a day or two on the Can
adian side of Suspension Bridge, nnd
will then spend some days at Toronto.
From there they go to Halifax to take
an ocean liner. While the minister was
on this side of the border he had the
protection of the passports Issued late
yesterday afternoon by tho state de
partment at his request, following the
delivery of a copy of the president's
ultimatum to Spain.
The departure of the Spanish party
was made without noticeable demon
stration, nnd although a considerable
number of seciet olllcers and police
were on duty at the depot there was
at no time uny occasion for their do
ing more than keeping back a crowd
of curious onlookers. At C o'clock last
evening Senor I'olo made a hurried call
at the French embussy and the Aus
trian legation, where Spanish Interests
aro left In charge, and then Joined his
staff at the legation and started for
the train. An express wagon was piled
high with trunks of the large party.
Just before the departure from the le
gation the Austrian minister, Mr. Hen
gelmuller, and Baroness Hengelmuller
dropped In for a last word, and several
other members of the diplomatic corps
called to muke their final ndleus. This
done, the legation was vacated, and the
party assembled at tho Pennsylvania
depot. As the minister entered the
station he was recognized by the crowd,
which closed In nbout him until gently
cautioned by the olllcers. No words of
Indignity were spoken, and the saluta
tions of those In the crowd were rather
agreeable than otherwise, He smiled
In acknowledgment or the attention
given him, and several times touched
his hat. Senors Dubosc and ualatzadjd
pot accompany the party, but remained
until today In an unofficial capacity.
The Spanish minister spoke feelingly
of his departure. He said his request
(or his passports had heen made tmlv
alter the 'ciiarlniertt nf a law which
attacked Spain's sovereignty, Impugn
ed her honor and insulted her.
Lieutenant de Carantha asked the
representatives of the press to make
known the lieutenant's view on the war
about to be opened. He suld the Span
ish people, particularly membeis ot the
nrmy and navy, hud always entertain
ed the most cordial feeling lowaid
Amoilca, and Spanish ships had found
It a pleasure to solute ships of the
American navy. Now. however, a war
was being precipitated by an attack
upon Spain's honor, and against this
every spark of Spanish loyalty would
be aroused.
"It Is no longer a -question of retain
ing Cuba," said Lieutenant Carantha.
"That waB merely a question of terri
tory. Now a higher purpose Is In view
the honor and dignity of Spain since
the United States has contemptuously
I
1
ordeicd Spnln to vacate Culm, and has
made the Infamous charge that we are I
respomlble for the murder of the poor
men of the Maine. These orders nnd
chares are made with a kick of the
boot, and against such action Spain
will resist to the uttermost. There
should be no mistake about this. His
tory has recorded that even the legions
of Napoleon, with WO.OOO men bearing
the triumphs of nil lmrtipe. were halted
and r tlrnl from Spain, after those le
gions had lost between 200.000 and 300,-
000 men. We recognize tho gallantry of
the American navy, and the notable
heroes of Its past Paul Jones, Faragut,
Porter but Spain, too, lias her heroes,
nnd their blood Is In the veins of thosu
now called upon to defend her honor.
1 speak after leeently talking with my
naval assodatcs. coinmnnders of Span
ish ships and torpedo boats, and I know
that there Is but one sentiment, name
ly, that not one Spanish ship shall be
taken. Your navy may send many ot
them to the bottom, but not one Span
ish ship will surionder to the Ameri
can navy. With honor at stake, that
will be the 1 espouse of the navy of
Spain."

Hut if you have weuk kidneys, Madder
trouble or distressing kidney complaint, then
Swamp-Root will prove to be just the remedy
you need. Too frequent desire to urinate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back
is convincing evidence that yoiirkldaeysand
bladder need doctoring,
Thero is comfort in the knowlcdgo so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swnmp-lJoot,
tho great kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in tho back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
pa-sage. It coriccts inability to hold urino
and scalding pain in passing it, or had cll'ccts
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dining tho
night to urinate. Tho mild and tho extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-ltoot is soon
realized. It stands tho highest for its
wonderful cures of tho most distressing cases.
