The members of the republicancounty central committee are re-

ner of selecting delegates to thestate convention to be held at Om-

oThe latest extended estimate of

republican presidential preferencesis one which is published in thePittsburg Dispatch." It is basedon telegrams from all the statesand territories, and according tothe Philadelphia "Inquirer," Sena-tor Quay says the estimate is fairlyrepresentative of the situation atthe present time. This showinggives McKinley 335 votes on thefirst ballot; Reed, 215; Morton, 67:

Allison, 80; Quay, 76; Cullom, 38;Bradley, 26; Davis, 22. with 18

scattering or undecided. The onlychanjre Ouay would make in thesefigures is that he thinks McKinley svote will not.gs above 300 on thefirst ballot, instead of the 335

which the 'Dispatch" gives him.The number necessary to a choiceis 459, which would make McKinleylack at the outset 159 votes of thenumber required to give him thenomination.

The one striking feature of thelocal situation with reference to thepresidential preference is the strongsentiment among the masses forMajor McKinley. The laboringmen of Fremont who have voted therepublican ticket in times past are,almost to a man, for the greatapostle of protection and prosper- -

ity. And there is abundant evidence that many men who have nothitherto been voting the ticket whowill hereafter do so and they arestrong in their preference for McKinley. If we mistake not thereare j7et greater surprises in storefor the enemy than they have hadup to date in the eventful as wellas fateful political occurrences ofthe past eighteen months. Thelaborer believes himself worthy ofhis hire and he is of the opinionthat he will be hired if McKinley iselected. Fremont Tribune.

THE SENATE NAVY BILL.

The bill passed by the senate forstrengthening- - the naval force of theUnited States is timely. The British House of Commons is considering, and is sure to approve, a budgetin which the enormous sum of S109,-110,0- 00

is appropriated for the naval service. This is at an increaseot $15,610,000 over last year's estimates.

The air is full of rumors of wars,and the one way by which'the United States can avoid enforced par-

ticipation in some of the possiblestruggles is through readiness toparticipate in them with proba-bility of success. The strong watchful man seldom is assailed; thethief and bull' seek the weak, thetimid or the unprepared; and as itis with men so it is with nations.The large armaments of Europe,are maintaining the peace of EuropeIf England were sure that Russia isunprepared; or if Russia were surethat England is unready, or wereFrance certain that German' is illarmed, war would break out instan-te- r.

The ability of each of thegreat powers to resist attack is thecause of freedom from attack.

The interests of the UnitedStates now are the world-wid- e; mil-

lions of United States capital arevested in Cuba. The Southern andCentral American republics are fullof citizens ot the United Stateswho are engaged in trade, agricul-ture or manufactures. UnitedStates trade with China, Japan andother nations of the Orient growsapace. Hawaii is a possession thatwe cannot afford to permit underany European protectorate. Inevery quarter of the world we haveinterests that will be imperilled bythe event of war between any ot thegreat powers and that will requireprotection.

The naval force of the United

States is its chief and cheap defense.The senate has done well in pro-

viding for its growth and mainten-ance. Inter Ocean. ii f

lux ftjfCubans are not fighting" specially

because of any recent and unusualoppression; it is the galling., chainsthat hung about their fathers andgrandfathers and were welded on totheir own limbs by Spain that theydesire to break and unloose. Theyhave resolved to do it or die. Is itany wonder that Americans, con-

versant with their history, deeplysympathize with Cuba? Theywould not be the sons and daugh-ters of 1776 if they did otherwise.

RESOLUTION FOR COMPLETE RECOG-

NITION IS PASSED.

Washington, March 8. Cuba librehad n field day in the house. Despitethe war talk from Spain, the strugglingpatriots in Cuba were eulogized andsympathized "within a debateon Monday, and the rules were thensuspended aud the resolutions by thehouse foreign affairs committee wereadopled as a substitute by those of thesenate by an overwhelming majority,286 to 17.

tives, tho somite concun ing, that in theopinion of cong-es- s a state of public waxexl-t- s in Cuba tho parties to which areentitled to bolligeient rights and theUnited Stntv should observe a strict neu-trality between tho belligerents.

Resolved, 'Hint congtoss deplores thedestruction of lifo and property caused bythe war now raging in the island, and be-

lieving that the only permanent solutionof the contost equally in the interest oiSpain, the people of Cuba and o her na-tions would be in the establishment of agovernment by tho choice of tho people olCuba, it is the sense of congress that thegovernment of tho United States shoulduse its good offices and friendly influencelo that end.

WASHiNGTOX,Peb. 2S. Ey the over-whelming vote of 64 to 6, the senateFriday adopted a concurrent resolutionfavorable to Cuban belligerency and independence. The resolutions adoptedare as follows:

day and the bill was sent to conference.Mr. Lacey, chairman of public lands,

FOR AN INCREASE OF THE NAVY.

Senate Bill Tassed Authorizing the Ad- -

dition of 1,000 Knlisted Men."Washington, March '6. The bill

passed by the senate Monday for the in-

crease of the navy attracted consider-able attention in view of tho tensionover Spanish-Cub- a affairs. In explain-ing the measure Mr. Hale (Mc), whoreported it from the naval committee,said that while he did not believe thoUnited States would be involve i in watas a result of the present trouble, yel;he considered it desirable to give thepresident authority iu case of emergencyto call out the naval militia and charierprivate ships for naval transports. Thobill as passed authorizes the addition of1,000 enlisted men to thcuavy, the en-

listing for not more than two years ofthe naval militia forces in case of emer-gency and the chartering of transportships in case of emergency. The billpassed under the rale aud byunanimous consent.

Pass the Agricultural Hill.Washington, March 4. The senate

gave most of the day to the agi-icultur-

bill and passed that measure carrying$3,202,000, without material amend-ment. Aucthebill passed during theday changes the limitations of fourthclass mail matter so as to free tho postalservice from bulky articles heretoforesent free by the government depart-ments. Mr. Wolcott, in urging the bill,said roller top desks and electric motorswere among the articles sent as mail bythe department. Late in the day wordcame from the house that the error con-

cerning the Cuban lesolntious had beencorrected. In its corrected form thohouse resolution is an amendment tothat passed by the seuate.

Debating tho Fee System.Washington. March 4. The honso

spent the entire day Tuesday in debat- - j

ing the amendment to the legislativeappropriation bill to abolish the fee sys-- )

tern in the case of United States districtattorneys aud marshals. The salariesfixed by tho amendment range from$2,000 to $5,000. The amendment wasindorsed by almost every member ofthe judiciary committee. It was arguedthe amendment would reduce the ex-

penses of the United States courtswhich have doubled since 1878 at least$500,000 for the first year aud result instopping the pernicious padding of thebusiness of the federal courts.

ANGRY SPANISH MOB.

ATTACKS THE UNITED STATES CON-

SULATE AT (BARCELONA.

Spaniard Aroused by the .Action of theUnited States Senate In Determining: toBccojrnlxe the Cubans as Belligerents.Squadron to Be Prepared to SaiL

Barcelona, March 2. The fever ofindignation and hate agaiust the UnitedStates which seems to take possession ofthe heart of all Spain over the action ofthe United States seuate in recognizingthe provisional government of Cuba asbelligerents and in calling npon Presi-

dent Cleveland to nso his good offices

with Spain to secure the independenceof Cuba, culminated in violent sceneshere Sunday and an attack npon theUnited States consnlate. The tronbledid not arise out of the spontaneousformation of the mob which did theviolence, but was the outcome of a pub-

lic meeting which had been influencedby fervid speeches. The public demon-stration to protest against the UnitedStates senate's action was organized bythe political leaders, including Repub-licans and men of all shades of politicalsentiment.

Broke Away From tho Leaders.It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon when

the meeting had assembled and therefully 15,000 people present, all in a stateof high patriotic enthusiasm and ripefor any manifestation of the emotionswhich possessed them. There were ad-

dresses by the orators provided for theoccasion and the purpose of the meetingexplained as one of protest against therecognition of the Cuban government asa belligerent power by the United Statessenate. The spirit of the crowd tookfire and they set ont for the UnitedStates consulate. The leaders who hadoriginated the meetiug seemed to haverealized the serious consequences thatmight follow npou a demonstration thattook this direction, aud they made everyeffort to dissuade the mob from its pur-pose. But their efforts were of no availand the crowd set off for the UnitedStates consulate.

The authorities of this city had, bythis time, taken alarm, and a force ofpolice was sent to the consulate. Theexcited crowd was not intimidated bythis show of force from gathering atthe consulate and shouting: "Long liveSpain," and "Down with the Yankees."These verbal missiles did not long satis-fy the aroused passious of the mob andin a short time stoues began flying fromthe crowd, which broke a number ofwindows in the consulate. The force ofpolice waited for no further manifesta-tion, but charged the crowd under theorders of their officers and roughly dis-

persed them, woundiug several. So faras learned there were no fatal results.

SPANISH AROUSED AT MADRID.

Seem Determined to Go to War With theUnited States Forthwith.

(Copyrighted by Associated Press.)Madrid, March 2. If one may judge

by things that have been said and someof the things that were done Sunday,the Spanish people are enthusiasticallydetermined to go to war forthwith withthe United States and to speedily avengethe insult which, it is fancied, has beenoffered to the haughty pride of Spainthe United States senate in determiningto recognize the Cuban provisional government as a belligerent power aud toask the president to use his good officeswith Spain to obtain recognition ofCuban independence. Some of the or-

gans of public opinion declares that thobankruptcy of the Spanish governmentwould not prevent the Spanish peoplefrom taking up the quarrel on theirown accouut and fitting out expeditionsand maintaiuiug themselves at theirown expenso while combatting the insolence of the assertions of the UnitedStates. The day was characterized bymany lnamiestations ot pnouc wratnand excitement and in Barcelona thoSpaniards have gone to the extreme ofusing violence upon the consulate of theUnited States and stoning it, breakingseveral windows in the building. JSobodily harm Was done to anybody, except to certain members of the crowd,which was charged by the police whenthe stones were thrown at the UnitedStates consulate.

Spain 7akes Prompt Artion.Washington, Match 3. The Spanish

government took steps very promptlyo make amends to tho united btatesor the outburst of mob violence at Bar

celona. Ths action, and especially theact that it was taken immediately uponhe news of the fact reaching the gov
