Miles, Shatter and Ciaffee, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson the Chinese and Coronn ministers am' other dignitaries. The weather was very disagreeable, threatening rain at any nonient. with a cutting wind from the lnle. which chilled the sightseers not extra warmly cbdhed. But these things sccmei to have no effect on the numbers and nthiisiasin of the throngs which pack'd the sidewalks throughout the entirelinc of march, filled the numerous vtntuh and every available point of view from fie windows and roofs of tail buildings on 'itlier side. A wave of cheers greeted tin marchers in line, particularly the inilinry part of it, and more peculiarly the solliers and sailors returned from Culia.

Sheriff After a Desperate Battle, Captures Kunnas Hohbera, After a desperate light, lusting nearly three hours. Sheriff MacUey of Saliua County, Kansas, and his possu of five deputies made the most important capture of bank robbers that has been made lu years. The officers believe they have the gang that has been causing so much trouble nil over the State, especially Ihe western part, within the past two months. "Itlackey Clark," one of the robbers, and who is thought to Ik1 the most noted crook, was fatally shot in the back. n::id others of the gang were wounded. Deputy Sheriff Lykens was hit in the arm by a bullet. Bach party was partially sheltered by trees, and over 300 rounds of nmniutiitioii were used. The battle tcok place in the edge of the timlter just out of Salina, where (lie robbers, who wen- mounted, had been to purchase feed and ammunition. Slicritr Mackcy called r.o the robbers to halt, but they returned his request with a volley which felled the sheriffs horse. He got behind the dead animal and the officers opened firo "Hlackey Clark" was the first one hit, and with a shriek he fell. His comr-tdes, under a hot tire, rushed nut and h'.-nught him to a place of safety, where he lay until the robbers finuily surrendered.

WILL NOT FREE SPAIN. America Kccotjni.cs Only Cuban Mnnicipal Indebtedness. The American peace commissioners

I have been iiistiucled lo recognize and give I standing todihar municipal indebtedness. This is not an important matter from a financial standpoint, as tho amount can- ! not be large, bill: it is peculiarly signifi

cant in view of the stand taken by the commissioners in regard to the so-called "Cuban debt." They rejected the Cuban debt proposition largely on the theory that the money retires en led by the bonds was inft exH'iided for the benefit of the people of the island, and. therefore, should not be a burden on the new Government. Pursuing the same line of argument, it is held that money borrowed by the cities of Cuba was sK'iit locally mid directly for the benefit of the communities, and should therefore be continued as a lien upon the property upon which the loans were originally made. The logic which frees I he islnpd fr im obligation in connection with thai portion of the Spanish bou.led indebtedness labeled the "Cuban debt" clearly establishes the validity of the distinctly municipal debts as a continuing claim. There is no data at hand to show the aggregate amount cf (he Cuban city indebtedness, but it cannot be monumental, ns investors would not make extravagant advances on that Sort .if security.

STORM HAMPERS FARMERr, Plowing: and ThrushiiiK Stopped by the Snow and ltniu. Reports from various points in Minnesota and the Dakotas say fanning operations are much impeded by snow and ruin.

It is too wet to plow, ami less than 50 per cent of the plowing : done. Lisbon, Minn., reports from six inches to n foot of snow on the ground: :hras!iing stopped and tile prospects for resuiuotion far from promising. Considerable Hnx in scattered localities is still on the ground. At Marion Junction, S. 1 .. thi- snow was accompanied by a srroiig northwest wind, drifting it badly. Aberdeen, S. D.. says a strong northwest wind hits been blowing, nnd it is snowing hard. At Tyudall, S. D., several inches of snowhas fallen, and it lies in heavy lirills.

THOUSANDS HEAR THE PRESIDENT AT OMAHA.

Vast Crowd Applauds the Address of the Nation's Chief Executive at tho Kxpoaltlon Talks of the War and Its Kesulta.

President McKinley talked to ns many jeople ns could get within sight of him on .he plana ut the Omaha exposition grounds, and on the avenues or viaducts ending to the different departments of the Tair. People who could have no hope of bearing even the sound of his voice crowded upon one another at vantage points far rom the platform to get a look at him and remained there throughout his address. Secretary Gage and Postmaster General Smith bad joined the presidential party tind occupied seats on the platform, as did lien. Miles and his staff and the others of the military nnd diplomatic party whose train folic wed the President's to Omaha. Tho President in his speech, after some words applying to the exposition nnd the people of the trnnsmississippi States, dealt almost wholly upon the war and tho new problems entailed upon the country as its result. In this age of frequent Interchange and mutual dependency we cannot shirk our International responsibilities If we would, the President said. They must be toet with courage and wisdom. And there was good solid, not perfunctory, cheering when he added: We must follow duty even If desire opposes us. No deliberation cat be too mature or self-control too constant la this sulcmn hour of our history. e'e must avoid the temptation of undue aggression, and aim to secure only such results as will promote our own nnit the general good. It has been said by some one that the normal condition of nations Is war. That Is not true of the United States. We never enter upon war until every effort for peace without It has been exhausted. Ours has never been a military government. Fence, with whose blessings we have been so singularly favored. Is the national desire and the noiil of every American aspiration.

On the 25th of April, tor the first time for more than a generation, the United States sounded the call to arms. The banners ot 7ar were unfurled; the best and bravest from every section responded; a mighty army was enrolled; the north and the south

The heroes of Manila and Santiago and Porto Hlco have made Immortal history. They arc worthy successors and descendants of Washington and Greene; of Paul Jones, Decatur and Hull, and of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Logan; of Farragut, Porter and Cushfng, and of Lee, Jacksoa and I.ongstrect. New names stand out on the honor roll of the nation's great men, and with them unnamed stand the heroes of the trenches nnd

the forecastle, Invincible In battle and uncomplaining In death. The Intelligent, loval. Indomitable soldier and sailor and

marine, regular and volnnteer, are entitled to equal praise as flaring done their whole duty, whether at home or under the baptism of foreign fire. Who will dim the splendor ot their

acm veinents? who win wttnnoia rrom theni their well-earned distinction? Who will Intrude detraction at this time to be

youtn ana impair tne usefulness or tne American navy? Who will embarrass the Government by sowing seeds of dissatisfaction among the brave men who stand ready to serve and die, If need be, for their country? Who will darken the councils of the republic lu this hour requiring the united wlsdnu of all? Shall wc deny to ourselves what the rest of the world so freely and so Justly accords to us? The men who endured, tn the short but decisive struggle. Its hardships. Its privations, whether In the field or camp, ou ship r la the Rlege. and planned and achieved Its victories, will never tolerate Impeachment, either dlren or Indirect, of those who won a peace wboss great gain to civilization Is yet unknown and unwritten. The faith of a Christian nation recognizes the band of Almighty God In the ordeal through wlilcb we have passed. Dlvlno favor seemed manifest everywhere. In fliht-

lng for humanity's sake we have been signally blessed. We did not seek war. To avoid It If, this could be done In Justice and honor to the rights of our neighbors and ourselves, was our constant prayer. The war was no more Invited by us than are the questions which are laid at our door by Its results. Now, as then, we will do our duty. The problems will not be solved In a day. Patience will be required patience combined with sincerity of purpose and unshaken resolution to do right, seeking only the highest good of the nation and recognizing no other obligation, pursuing no other path but that of duty. Right action follows right purpose. Wo may not at all times be able to divine the future; the way may not always seem clear. But If our alms arc high and unselfish, somehow and In some way the right end will be reached. The genius of the nation. Its freedom, its wisdom, its humanity, Its courage, Its Justice, favored by Divine Providence, will make It equal to every task and tho master of every emergency. Odda and Ends.
