Conflicting Advice.
Special to the Journal. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—President McKinley is beset by conflicting advice as to his plan of action in view of the action of the Spanish government. Some of the senators declare that a declaration of war is not necessary and advise that no 6uch declaration be made, considering that Spain's action is a sufficient declaration to that
effect. Other senators advise that a manifesto to the powers be issued at once tc the effect that a 6tate of war exists, as the Spanish government did not wait until Minister Woodford presented the ultimatum before giving him his passports. The administration may not wait until the time limit provided in the ultimatum has expired but may, in view of Spain's action, ask congress to declare war at once.

Charley Long is in receipt of the following letter from our much missed fellow townsman, Ben Fly: "DYKA, Alaska Friend Charley: Since closing your letter I had a party call on me from Sheep Camp, and the snow slide that occurred there on Sunday morning was a great deal worse than when tirst reported. There were at least 350 men buried under fifty feet of snow, besides some horses, oxen, and two hundred tons of provisions. I tell you it is a tough trip for some of them. A great many are getting discouraged with the outlook. Now, Charley, you can have this letter published if you care to, for these are the facts as I have stated. The trip is a great deal tougher than lots of them ever imagined it was, and I meet lots of them every day who wish that they had never left home. I would like to have this published in the Crawfordsville JOURNAL As ever, yours,
BEN Fi.y."

WHY HE LOST HIS SEAT.
11 Congressional Opponent I'sed Mis Advocary ol' tho Telegraph Against Him..
Cleveland Leader: Dr. Gatling, the gun man, is a relative of Gen, Low Wallace, and tells the following story about the latter's father: "David Wallace was a member of congress from an Indiana district when S. F. B. Morse asked the government to give him §40,000 for the purpose of building the first telegraph line from Baltimore to Washington. Wallace was a member of the committee to which the bill providing for the appropriation was referred, and it happened, when the matter came up for consideration, that he was absent. The vote in the committee was a tie, and so Wallace was sent for. He voted to give the inventor the 810,000 and, accordingly the bill went through. "1 his happened along toward the end of Wallace's term, and when he went home to strive for re-election he found that the news concerning his action on the Morse telegraph appropriation bill had preceded him A man named William Brown, who afterward became prominent in congress, had been nominated by the Democrats, and he was conducting a vigorous campaign. "In those days joint stumping tours were customary, and the two candidates went from place to place through the istrict, asking for the votes of the people. Brown's platform consisted of only one plank. That was tbe criminal record of his opponent. "He would get up before a crowd of voters and ask them if they had heard how Wallace had voted to give 840,000 of the public's money to a man who proposed to transmit messages by means of a wire between Baltimore and Washington. The ridiculousness of such a thing was 60 apparent that Wallace's action could not be considered as a mere mistake. It wasc'carly an outrage upon the people—a deliberate swindle.
You may not believe,' Brown was in the habit of concluding, 'that any mau with a spark of common-sense would vote away the public funds for the furtherance of such a chimerical scheme, but the gentleman is here before you. Ask him if I have told the truth or not, and let him explain his action if ho can.' "Wallace, of course, admitted that he had voted away the money, and he tried to explain what Morse proposed to do but it was all in vain. His constituents made up their minds that he was either a fool or something worse, and he was therefore snowed under at the polls. "It is gratifying to know that Wallace lived to see the telegraph established as an important factor in civilization but I suppose there are people in that district who still think he was a fool and that he deserved defeat."
