Some sympathizer with President McKinley in the trying times he is passing through, has found in the life of Abraham Lincoln an incident that is timely. It is given in the New York Tribune as follows: "At the White House one day some gentlemen were present from. the west, excited and troubled about the com missions and omissions of the admin istration. The president heard them patiently, and then replied: "Gentle- men, suppose aii tne property you rere worth was in gold, and you had put it in the hands of Blondin to car ry across the Niagara river on a rope, would you shake the cable or keep shouting out to him, "Blondin, stand up a little straighter; Blondin stoop a little more; go a little faster; lean a little more to the south?'' No, you would hold your breath as well as vour tonerue. and keep your nanus on until he was safe over. The govern ment are carrying an immense weight Untold treasures are in their h ands They are doing the very best they can Don't badger them. Keep silence, and we'll get you safe across."

" Secre tary Day says General Lee will prob ably leave on Saturday and that the Americans are leaving rapidly. There are no important developments in the situation anywhere. Elaborate preparations are going on at the White House for the enter tainment of 100 guests in the east room by Mrs. McKinley in honor of a num ber of ladies who are visiting her. WILL BK NO CHANGE. Washington, April 7 Congressman Grosvenor, after a conference with the president this morning, said that there would be no change in the message un less there is a change of facts which is unlikely. p The senate committee on foreign af fairs didn't meet today. Senator Gray of the foreign relations committee, af ter a talk with the president, expressed the belief that Minister Woodford and General Lee would not remain at their posts after the opening of next week. NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. Washington, April 7 A cable from Minister Woodford concerning yester day's cabinet meeting has been receiv ed, but it contains nothing significant. PLEAD FOR PEACE. Washington, April 7 Representa tives of England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Italy called on the president and Secretary of State Sherman today to plead for peace.

TEXAS AT NEWPORT NEWS. Newport, April 7 The battleship Texas arrived here this morning. CONGRESS ACCEPTS EXPLANATION. Washington, April 7 An armistice is declared between the president and congress pending which an effort will be made to recapture the lost "situa tion" that mysteriously disappeared yesterday. Congress is disposed to accept the explanation of the with holding of message, provided the president sticks to the" statement that the delay is due to the safety of Amer icans in Cuba. It is impossible to find words to express the feeling of indig nation and disgust which prevailed among senators and representatives during yesterday's events. POWERS ASKING PEACE. Washington, April 7 Representa tives of the Powers have tendered their good offices with the hope for the maintainance of peace and the re establishment of order in Cuba. Mc Kinley responded that he recognized the good will and friendly tone of the communication and shared in the hone, therein expressed, that the out- come of the situation in Cuba would be the maintenance of peace between the United States and Spain and the re-establishment of order on the is land and terminating the chronic con dition of disturbance. The president further said he is con fident that eaual appreciation will be shown for its own earnest and unsel fish endeavors to fulfill the duty to hu manitv bv ending the situation which has by its infinite prolongation be come insufferable.

Notes From Oak Ridge. Correspondence Telegram. Oak Ridge, April 7th The first school nd college game of this season in Greensboro will be played Saturday, April 9th at 3 p. m between Johns-Hopkins University and Oak Ridge Institute. Johns-Hop kins has an unusually strong team and the Oak Ridge boys have just re turned from a trip to leading Virginia schools flushed with victory. So i good game may be expected. Our boys won from Virginia Poly technic Institute at Blackburg by score of 18, to 5. From St. Albans school at Radford 10 to 9, ten innings srame. The latter team is one of the very strongest in Virginia, winning last year from all the schools in that state "except the University.

DENIED THE SECOND ULTIMATUN The Panic Among ; Cubans Exceeds . . Thai Among Americans on' the Cuban Inland. By Cable ThbTbudgram. Madrid, April 7 A dispatch to the Imparcial from Havana says there is . intense' excitement in that city. Three hundred and eighty-six passports have been issued within twenty-four hours. The wharves are piled with baggage and the streets are patrolled by cav alry.. Four reconcentrados, who were liberated last Tuesday, were found murdered near the outskirts of Santa Clara. SPAIN TO REMAIN FIRM. Madrid, April 7 Minister Wood ford will present a fresh note to the Spanish government today demanding definite answer within six hours. The cabinet has decided to firmly ad here to the tenor of Spain's previous note. The Queen Regent has approv ed this decision. SPAIN MORE CONFIDENT. Madrid, April 7 The pope sent an important communication to Premier Sagasta last night which; was the sub ject of a special cabinet meeting. The most striking feature of the situation is the fact that, owing to the policy of procrastination at Washington, the Spaniards believe that the Americans are unprepared and afraid to fight. This opinion causes a defiant attitude on the part of Spain. EXCITEMENT IN SPAIN. Madrid, April 7 The postponement of McKinley 's message increased the excitement here. A prolonged cabinet council was held last niifht. Nobody believes there "will be a peaceful settle- nlent. Premier Sagasta denies that there is any dissension in the cabinet. BELLICOSE TALK IN MADRID. Madrid, April 7 After the cabinet meeting a semi-official note was issued which was regarded as serious. The announcement caused much excitement and bellicose talk. The cafes are crowded and people are eagerly dis cussing the situation and approving the attitude of the cabinet. It is the general impression that the United States presented an ultimatum and de; manded an answer in six hoursi that Spain modified the note presented with the result of the last conference. SECOND ULTIMATUM DENIED. Madrid, April 7 It is still hoped that McKinley 's message will be post poned and that the original program of autonomy will be carried out. The Becond ultimatum presented by the United States has been denied. CUBANS WANT TO LEAVE. Havana, April 7 The panic among the Cubans exceeds that among Amer icans here. They realize that in the event of hostilities they will be unable to leave and will be at the mercy of the volunteers. They would like to go to the United States. The report that the American fleet will simultaneously attack Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philli pines has added to the rage of the Spaniards. tttt.tft BY SPANISH POLICE. Havana.
