Practically there is no material change in the war situation. The report of the hoard of inquiry is on its way to Washington, and Presi dent McKinley is holding confer ences with leading members of the Senate and of the House, both democratic and republican. It is understood that in the present emergency the president desires patriotic dimity without reference to party. This is from a dispatcli : “There has been no change in the plan of sending the report to con gress early next week, probably Monday, accompanied by a mes sage from the President. It is definitely settled, however, that the message and the papers accom THE CABINET MEETS Report or the Court of Inquiry will Prolia- bly b« Held Over l utll Next Week. Washington, March 22.—The cabinet meeting to-day lasted something over an hour and was devoted exclusively to the Spanish situation in general and to the forthcomiug report of the Maine court of inquiry in particular. The tone of the discussion was very firm and that there must come an end to the present state of affairs in Cuba. Secretary Long authorized the statement that the understanding 1 before the cabinet was that the report would reach Washington Thursday or Friday, that it was very voluminous and that its pub lication and transmission to con gres would not occur until next Monday or Tuesday, as the Presi dent would require that much time to give the document the mature v consideration its momentous chat, 1. acter required. Other cabinet of ficers stated that the general plan included the sending of a presiden tial message along with the report stating that Spam has been called upon to make suitable response to the case presented by the court of inquiry.

I'horo is no doubt that in this pushing world of ours, the courte sies of life, those indefinable graces of voice and manner, that indicate good breeding and refinement, are iu danger of being largely cur tailed. 80 keen is the rivalry, so intense the strain, so bitter the losses and disappointments, that the savage e.emeots seem to come into play, and most of us have neither the time nor the tempta tion to attend to graces of be- . huvior. The word, the tone, the gesture betray the man or woman of re finement. The true gentleman, for instance, is even-tempered, never loud of speech or dress. He possesses tho quality of self-con trol. He is not boastful or vain. Ho will not prate of himself. He will not insist always upon his rights, but can gracefully waive his privileges. He will respect his neighbor’s convictions. He will be scrupulous of his word. H*' is nv de^t, deferential, careful to avoid ofl’ense, but not a “mush of concession.” * * * There F. Aeelrlcu* Gm—Tho Light of Mie Future.
