Tiik retirement of John Sherman,
Seen rar of State, closes the political
career of one of America's foremost
statesmen He has served his coun
try Units and faithfully, and he (joes
into well-earned retirement enjoying
the respect and honor of his country
men. A in ii )i ili'til of concern is expressed
for the safety of the Oregon, now on
her way up the coast to Cuba. It is
btfi to say, however, that should she
meet the Spanish torpedo boat
Temerario she will arrive at her
destination on schedule time. The
Oregon was built to light.

iSnniti.i ial honors in this district aru
becoming so numerous that a com
promise candidate is being consid
ered Tin- name of JU.it. M. C. Wut
s'im, .it' town, is frequently spoken of
in tlu connection. Mr. Watson rep
resented this district at Hnrrisburg
sewTiil jeai's ago, and made a proud
record for himself. He is popular
with the masses, and should ho be
prevailed upon to outer tho contest
would have little trouble in soouring
tlie nomination.
JJt nixi. these days of excitement
nil sorts of rumors will be in circula
tion, and people should receive them
witli due allowance. IJeeauso the
yellow journals publish sensational
news, making that a feature, is no
good reason why the newspapers gen
erally should be censured, and men
holding public positions advise their
hearers not to read the daily papers,
nor believe anything they publish.
Tho very men who make these
charges are the first to enlist the
press in behalf of some movement in
which they are pecuniarily interested.
And nine times out of ton they ask
this service to be given gratuitously.
Tho Hkhalu receives its news
through the Associated l'ress, the
most reliable news agency in the
country. Their special correspon
dent, on tho press despatch boat
Dauntless, is with the North Atlantic
pquodroii, and their reports can be
relied on. The average newspaper
critic is generally the man who does
not pay for his paper, but borrows
his neighbor's.
A Blockade.
Tim United Stutes has blockaded
a number of ports on the Islands of
Cuba, including Havana. Under the
naval code of laws a blockade must
m proclaimed so that ships of all na
tionalities may be notified of its ex
istence. Ships already at sea when
emulation is made must upon ar-
flst l)o notilled and permitted to de-
puru lur suuie uiuei uiuu mu iuuoi-
il port. Until suoli notice the
ship is not liable to capture. Ships
so notilled, and all ships sailing after
proclamation of blockade has been
made, are liable to capture upon at
tempting to pass the blockade. Ill
case of capture they and their car
goes are confiscated, but neither their
ofllcers nor seamen, if the ship
carries a neutral (lag, aro subject to
any other penalty. Thoy aro guilty
of no crime.
No neutral nation is bound to re
spect any blockade till It has been
made elective. If it is not so neu
trals resent ami resist the seizure of
their ships attempting to trade with
'paper" blockaded ports. Ships of
tho enemy are subject to capture any
where at sea, without reforonco to
tho ports from or to which they are
going. Neutral ships are suliject to
capture only whon trying to break
the blockade.

an acknowledged authority on interna
tional law, nnd the war department
called on several states for their quota
to the volunteer nrinv of the United
States. These mnUo up the Important
events ot the day.
The bill deolnrlng war went through
the house without a dlssentlnir vote,
without a roll call and without a word
of debute. There was no excitement,
mi envil, no word or question. It was
only In the Bleat cheer that went up
from llmif and gnllerles when Speaker
Deed anmit'f ceil Its passage that the
tremendous import of the act and the
suppressed eiithuslnsm behind It was
shown. In the senirte a debate was
precipitated on an amendment offered
by Mr. Turple recoBiilzins the belliger
ent rights or the Insurgents. Tho
amendment wns defeated, 24 to 38.
.May lioiiiulii n l'"iuv l)ny Mum.
It was not announced when Secretary
Sherman's resignation would take ef
fect, the secretary having yielded his
original Idea of leaving at once, and It
is presumed that he will remain until
Judge Day iiunlilles as his successor.
The selection of Mr. Moore, who Is now
profesior In International law at Co
lumbia university, New York, to suc
ceed the latter, was warmly welcomed
by all of the state department em
ployes. Appointed originally from Del
aware In the state department, by Mr.
LinyarU when the latter was secretary,
Mr. Moore, by sheer merit and ability,
worked his way up to the plnco of
second assistant secretary, and In that
capacity he servjed under several ad
ministrations without regatd to politi
cal changes. lie leslgned his place In
the state department to accept the
chair of international law at Columbia
university about three years ago, nnd
it Is believed that his present appoint
ment Is only temporary, because of his
indisposition to permanently sever his
connections with Columbia. Mr. Moore
is an authority on curtain branches of
International law, and his selection will
do much to strengthen the state depart
ment hi the present emergency.
The nlllela's of the department, with
the asslstanre ot the attorney general,
have been preparing another proclama
tion, which will be Issued in a dav or
two, this time treating of prizes and de
fining the conditions and time when
such seizures might be made. It Is be
lieved that the protest and suggestions
coming from foreign embassies and le
gations heie have led the department
to dollne once for all Its position In this
matter.
I'i'I'.o Commission Appointed.
A prize commissioner was appointed
yesterday afternoon In the person of
Conimnnder John Wynne, a retired
naval otllcer. He will be stationed at
Key West, where he now resides, and
it will be his duty, In conjunction with
two of the members yet to be selected
as part of tho commission, to make
uppralsemcnts of the value of prizes
and to assist tho prize courts in their
wot k.
It has been understood for some time
past that Assistant Secretary Itoose
velt, ot the navy department, would
soon retire In order to enter the mili
tary service In the Cuban campaign.
This stoiy can now be confirmed posi
tively, although the time set for Mr.
Itoosevelt's departure from the de
partment is not definitely fixed. The
president yesterday named Mr. Itoose-
velt ns lieutenant colonel of one of the
regiments of mounted rlllemen to be
raised In the Itocky mountains under
Colonel Wood, whom Mr. Hoosevelt hns
urged for the place. Colonel Wood Is
now Dr. Wood, of the army. He won
u medal of honor for distinguished gal
lantry while commanding a detachment
of tegular troops during the exceeding
ly hard campaign against the Apaches
led by Geronimo.

" For several years I had no cessation
of the suffering caused by catarrh. I had
a sense ol fullness in the head and ringing
in my cars. One of my nostriU was
tightly closed so I could not breathe
through it, and I could not clear my head.
I tried several catarrh cures, but failed to
get relief. Seeing accounts of cures by
Hood's Sarsapariila I determined to givo
it a fair trial. After taking a few bottles
I was satisfied it had effected a cure, for
the catarrh no longer troubled mo a par
ticle and I felt better in every way than
for years. I am now able to do a hard
day's work on tho farm." Alkked Ii.

Mid Mr. Hoosevi It loi these positions
iecauso ho felt that their training and

organizations among the cowboys. Sec

stated positively that up In this date
the pieslilent hns not made a choice as
Ills suci essor. It may be noted, In view
of the teeent mention of the name of
Admiral Walker in that connection,
that as It stands the law requires the
olllce of nsslstant secretary to be filled
by a civilian, so that If the admiral de
sired to accept that olllce he would be
under the unpleasant necessity of re
signing from the navy and lose his
place as a retired olllcer, which he Is
not likely to do.
lourtli ill" News Kroni Cuba.
There was n dearth ot news from the
scat of hostilities off the Cuban coast,
so far as the department was concern
ed, or If It wns In possession of infor
mation It was so carefully guarded that
nothing leaked out. A few telegrams
came from Key West announcing the
anlval there of prizes whose capture
has been lcportcd through the press.
Nothing could be obtained as to the
intentions of Commodore Schley In so
hastily rushing away the flyers Co
lumbia and Minneapolis from Hampton
Heads, but it Is believed that their pur
pose Is to shelter the I'atis or some of
the other liners ft 0111 attack by Spanish
cruisers.
The navy department yesterday pur
chased two more tugs the Hortense,
of New Orleans, and Mary Wllllck, of
Galveston.
John Jacob Astor, of New York, not
content with offeilng the government
free his splendid yacht Normahal nu
free transportation for troops and sup
plies over the railroads hi which he Is
Interested, has come forward with no
tice that he bus raised and equipped at
his own expense a battery of artillery,
which he desires to offer to tho govern
ment under his own plans for service
In Cuba. This offer probably will be !
acepted, although the department has !
been deluged with offers to raise vol- I
unteers In this way to the aggregate
number of at least GO.OOO men. As the
president's authority on the volunteer
bill Is to enlist only three leglments
outside of tho regular quotas to be fur
nished by the states, there Is not much
opportunity to accept the services of
these patriots.

New York. April 26. The market for
securities was sluggish and almost
stagnant yesterday. PrlceH ruled below
Saturday's close all day, and while
there was a brief pause at one time In
the morning on the downward course,
due to strength shown by one or two
of the Industrial specialties, thesagglng
tendency of the market was practically
uninterrupted. The ti ailing was nar
row and professional, and the declines
really repiesented nothing more than
a natural reaction from Saturday's ad
vance. The supply of stocks continued
very limited, owner apparently being
content to hold their property for higher
prices.

Grriit llrllnln nnd Austria Protest
AunltiHt Hiiona Ventura's t apttiro.
Washington, April 2G.-The llrltlsh
and the Austrian legations, it is un
derstood, will represent to the state
department that the capure of the
seamer Iluenn. Ventura by the Nash
ville was unjustiriBble. It is claimed
that the uarsn of the lltiena Ventura
belonged to llrltlsh owners, who will
seek to secure redress through the
liritlsh embassy here. The case Is fur
ther complicated by the fact that the
Spanish ship, with a llrltlsh cargo, was
carrying between two American ports,
so tiiat Americans paitlclpate to some
extent If a loss occurs through the con
demnation of the ltuena Ventura as a
prize. The diplomatic action will be
conllned. It Is understood, to submit-
j ting the protest to the state depart
ment. It then will be for the prize
court to decide as to the weight of the
protest.
! At the leading embassies and lega
I Hons opinion Is somewhat divided ns to
I the legality of the seizure of the Huena
' Ventura, the Pedro and such other
! ships as were taken prior to noon on
Saturday. In one high diplomatic
iiuurter It Is held that the state of
i ar did not exist ot the time of these
j captures, so that thev cannot be con
sidered war prizes. To sustain this
view It is pointed out that the course
; of Spain In severing dliilomatlc rela
, lions did not create a state of war. At
present f ranco aim Venezuela have
terminated their diplomatic relations
ns a result of differences between them,
but, It is pointed out, there Is no war
between France and Venezuela, nnd the
termination of their diplomatic rela
tions has never been so icgnrded by
either party, un me otlier Hand, an
other lending embassy holds that war
now exists, and has existed for several
days.
Olympla nnd llnltlmoro Soil.
Hong Kong, April 26. The United
Stutes cruisers Olympin and llaltlmore
have left this port. It Is said that
Commodore Dewey and the United
I States consul, Mr. William K. Hunt,
protested that It was not necessary to
leave, as they had not been notilled by
the United Slates government of the
declaration of war. Although It is not
so stated, the United States squadron
was apparently required to leave by
the llrltlsh authorities In consequence
of the proclamation of neutrality. It
Is said that Admiral Dewey has been
ordered to await definite Instructions
before attacking .Manila.
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really moie than skin deep,
depending entirely on a healthy condition of
all the vital organs. If the liver be inactive,
you have a bilious look ; if your stomach he
disordered, you have a dyspeptia look ; if
jour kidneys be affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and you will surely
have good looks. "Iilectric Hitters" is a good
Alteiative and Tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a
good complexion. Every bottle guaranteed,

THREE KILLED IN A FEUD.
Tho Hntrlo-lioolo Finally Qunrrol KlldH
In Cowardly Assiisiluntlou.
Little Hock, Ark., April 20. Tho
Eagle-Hoole feud broke out again near
Loneoke yesterday afternoon, and In
the fight the IJoole faction was almost
wiped out of existence. The Eagjes
caught the liooles at a disadvantage,
and poured a terrible volley Into them.
W. K. Iloolo, the father, a prominent
business man, and his two sons, Will
and Charlie Ilonie, were instantly kill
ed. The Eagles came out of the en
gagement unhurt. There were three
Eagle boys and a brother-in-law named
Uob Daugheity in the attacking party,
and they shot their enemies down with
out a chance to defend themselves.
There is great excitement, and it Is
feared that friends of the Hooies will
try to avenge the murder.
All concerned are prominent. The
Eagles were closely related to ex-Gov
ernor J. I'. Eagle, and W. IC. Boole
was an ex-member of the Arkansas leg
Islature, his family being one of the
oldest In the state. The Eagles are
well known In Lancoke county, and
their faction dominated local politics
for years. The feud grew out of a po
lltlcal clash between members of the
two families.
'Jim .MlnneapollH nnd Colmnliln.
Boston, April 20. The cruiser Minne
apolls arrived off Cape Cod at dusk
last night. The cruiser Columbia is at
Newport. It is thought the govern
ment has stationed tho two cruisers at
a convenient point to protect the
Paris on her way from the Grand
Banks to New York. The Paris will
pass within a few hundred miles of
Highland light, probably on Friday, on
her way to the Nantucket shoal light
ship, which she turns to make her final
run of 300 miles to New York. The
new cruiser Topekn, a slower boat, Is
expected off the shoals about Friday or
Saturday, but she should be able to
take care of herself with out assistance.

scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity

hear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment maybe used at any and

from Philadelphia on April 8 tor Ha
vana and Cai deltas, arrived heie yes
terday morning from Havana. IIef
commnnder reports that the news of
Ihe snlllng of the United Htntes fleet
was received Just previous to the de
parture of the Mliledene. He adds
that It created no excitement In the
city, but the price of meat Immediately
Jumped from 24 to 0 cents.
According to Captain Mllburn' Ha
vana does not fear bombardment, be
cause, the Spanlaids say. the United
States began the war In tho Interests
of humanity, and boinbaidincnt would
be contrary to such a purpose. The
city Is crowded With troops, und the
Spanish olllcers nre dillliiig every man
they can press Into service
The Myrtledene renched Havana a
week ago Sunday, and Captain Mllburn
went ashore He says he wulkcd over
to the new fortifications at Casa
Dlanca, to make observations, when he
was ariested as an American spy. The
captain Was taken to Morro Castle, and
after three 01 four bonis had elapsed
he was Informed thut sentence hnd
been passed upon him, and that he was
to be shot In an hour. The captain,
who Is an Intense Britisher, replied:
"Why wait an hour? Shoot mo now,
and In a day Huvana and all Cuba will
be blown up."
The British vice consul, Arthur
Arostcguy, wns Interested In the case,
und Captain Mllhurn was released.
Captain Mllburn added:
"Havana will give you all the fighting
you want when you land. The British
don t wait two months when their
ships are blown up In foreign ports."
