Tho Cuban resolutions, which passed
the senato amid so much enthusiasm,
were transmited to tbo house Saturday

teo on foreign affairs. They will prob
ably lie reported back in a few days
and adopted by tho house without
much debate. Everybody is in favor
of tlio recognition of tho belligerent
right of Cubans. No time will bo lost
in tlie house in acting in tho matter.
A Washington special says: On tho

Smallpox In Armenia.
A long telegram has been received
by Secretary Olney from Minister
Terrel], at Constantinople, telling of
great distress in Armenia.
lie says that tho inhabitants of Zei-
toun and its vicinity arof-uffering from
tho ravnges of smallpox and other dis
eases, and from want of food. Belief
expeditions aro fitting out ns fast ns
possible. Tho progress is, however,
necessarily slow and uncertain because
the valleys are deep in mud and al
most impassable, while tho mountains
are filled with snow nnd the weather
is unusually cold. Tho English vico
consul at Zeitoun has sent relief to
Harpoot nnd the sultan has issued an
imperial decree forwarding protection
and facilities to Miss Clara Barton.
The Cabinet Called Together.
A special from Washington says that
the Spnnibh-American situation grow
ing out of tbo reports of the riots in
Barcelona nud other cities in Spain
was regarded so serious by the presi
dent that he decided to convene a spe
cial meeting of tho cabinet Sunday
night.
Secretary Olney was promptly ad
vised of the outbreaks in 'Madrid,
Barcelona and other places in Spain by
Minister Taylor gnd tho American
consnls. Ho hastened to the white
house and laid before the president all
the dispatches ho hud received.
Secretary Olney submitted a com
munication which created profound
urprise. It was a message from tho
Spanish minister of foreign affuirs in
Madrid, insisting that the United
Staeos government disavow tho action
of the senate as a condition precedent
to continued friendly relations betweon
the two government.
Sirs. Stanford Wins Her Case.
The supreme court has decided tlio
Stanford case in favor of Mrs. Stan
ford. Justice Harlan delivered the
opinion.
The Stanford case is that of the
United States vs. Jane L. Stauford,
executrix of Leland Stauford, deceas
ed. It involved tho individual liabil
ity of stockholders in tho Central Pa
cific railroad company, for tho debt
due to tbp United States on the bonds
sued in aid of the Central Pacific un-
Mr. Stanford held 1,387 shares of
the Central Pacific stock, and it was
claimed by tho government in insti
tuting its suit (hnt tho government
was entitled to collect $15,373,000
from tlio Stanford estate.
This contention was resisted by Mrs.
Stanford on iho grounds that the Cali
fornia constitution was not self-exe
cuting and also on the ploa that it was
the intention of congress in granting
aid to tho Central Pniifio company, to
put it ou n footing different from the
footing on which other government-
aided railroads were placed.
Classed as Lotteries.
Attorney General Harmon lias sub
mitted to Postmaster General Wilson
a decision to tho effect that tho numer
ous bonds nnd investment sehomos
conducted throughout the country are
lotteries and not entitled to tlio privi
leges of the mails.
Tho test eases sent to Attorney Gen
eral Harmon by Postmaster General
Wilson were those of Hie Pettis Coun
ty Bond Investment. Company, of So-
dalia, Mo. ; Tontine Association, of
Minneapolis; Columbia Investment
C mnnnv. of Cinrinnnt' : N'itio»ol („
vestment Company, of Cincinnati; tlio
National Investment Company, Wash
ington, and tlio Southern Mutual In
vestment Company, of Lexington, ICy.
Attorney Goneral Harmon in his
opinion considered chiefly the ease of
tho Pettis Investment Company, tlie
most important ono nrguod boforo tho
department, and which tlio attorney
general says covers all the othors,
which aro oliko in general design, and
differ only in details and methods.
They induce subscription for bonds by
holding out their chance for receiving
largo sums for small payments, tho
chance depending on tho numbering
of the bonds. Without the ever pres
ent clinneo of speedily gotting much
for little not ono of tlicso companies
would attempt to do bnsiuess or stio-
ceod in tlie attempt.
HUNTER GIVES UP.
IIo Withdraws From the Senatorial
Fight in Koiitucky.
A special from Frankfort, Ky.,
says: TheWornor-TompkiuH oleotion
easo again occupied the attention of
the house until 12 o’clock Saturday,
when further consideration was cut off 1
by tho joint sossion.
The sensation of tho day was the
withdrawal of I)r. Hunter. 'It camo
in tho form of a lotter from tlio repub
lican nominee, addressed to tho re
publican members and withdrawing
from tho contest. _ Tho letter was
read by Representative Lyons, of New
port. In liis letter Dr. Huntor depre
cated the unfortunato complications
witli which he and his party luuU
lioen hampered during tho long
contest, hut returned his grateful
acknowledgments to thoso who had
stood by him with so. much loyalty.
The withdrawal of Hunter caused
the wildest excitement, It was taken
to moan that he realized that further
desertions would occur and that rather
than prolong tho agony ho would get
off now and not wait until 1m was
forced. Tlio Blackburn people wore
smiling. Tlioy voted for tho nominee
with enthusiasm. Tlie ballot was then
ordered called. It developed the fact
that no ono as yet had been decided on
by tho republican contingent as a unit.
Beeauso of tho number of candi
dates the announcement of tho result
of tlio ballot was delayed for .some
time, although it was known at once
that there had been no election. Tito
ballot resulted ns follows:
Blackburn, fil ; Bonnet, 4 ; Brunarn,
0; H. II. Stone, 8; Deboo, 7; Holt, 8;
Finley, 7; Pratt, 2; Dyeho, 2; Hun
ter, 4 ; Worthington, 2; Bl'anford, 3;
Buckner, 5; Carlisle, 1, and tho rest

Summary of Hills and Resolutions
Presented and Acted Upon.
THE HOUSE.
After an hour’s debate Saturday tho
house-passed over tho president's voto
tlio bill authorizing the leasing of
school lands in Arizona by a voto of
200 ta38. Tho house tlion, in com
mittee of tho whole, undor tlio iivo-
minute rule, resumed consideration of
the legislative, executive nnd judicial
appropriation bill for tlie yoar ending
June 30, 1897.
Consideration of tlio bill was com
pleted, save tlio paragraphs oovoring
compensation for the United States
district attorneys nnd marshals. A
few uuimportant amondnionts wero
made to the lull. Tho paragraphs re
maining will bo further considered
Monday whou tho new salary law for
thoso olfioos, prepared by the commit
tee on tbo judioiary, will lie offered as an
amendment to tho bill, under an order

THE, SENATE.
At tho opening of, tire senate Thurs
day Rev. Dr. Millmri), tho blind
chaplain, ", made eloquent reference to
INVESTIGATION ENDS.
The
His
Governor Will Announce
Decision Later.
Tlie convict investigation
brought to a close Thursday afternoon
and Governor Atkinson announced
that he would couvono tho court at a
later day and would announco the do
cision at that time.
The total cost of this investigation
will become less than has been gene
rally supposed—under $2,000. This is
about the same cost as that for the in
vestigation held liy Governor Gordon,
which lasted about a week, while this
one has lasted eighteen days.
When Colonel Hammond and Judge
Adamson took the easo for the stato
they calculated that tho investigation
wonld not last over a week. They
contracted with Governor Atkinson to
represent the state for $750, each to
receive $375. Afterwards an amend
ment to tho original Dill was filed, cit
ing tho necessity of more work and it
is probable that tlio governor will in
crease tho sum to about $500 for each
of tho attorneys.
There wero two stenographers tak
ing tho testimony and there will be
about 30,000 words in it, which will
cost not less than $300.
Mr. John M. Ellis received $72 for
acting ns sergeant-at-arms for, tho
eighteen days uud tho witnesses were
paid $256.81.

Befor e tho debate had proceeded far
tho proceedings wero interrupted by
Mr.' Hitt, republican, of Illinois, who
roported from the oommittco on for-
oigu affairs resolutions, relative to
Cuba, as a substitute for tho various
propositions referred to tho committee.
Mr.Lodgo gave notioo that he would
offer as a substitute for tho peuding
resolution tlio resolution reported in
the utilise from tho coihuiittoe on for
eign 51 flairs.
A resolution was roported from tho
committeo ou contingent expenses to
authorize tho committee ou coast do
fanses to take testimony nud to visit
such piuoes as may bo necessary.
Bills appropriating $500,000 for two
first-class steamers for tho Pnoific
const and $100,000 for a public build
ing at Newport Nows, Vn., woro pnssed.
Also tlio army appropriation bill, with
no greater delay than that ennsod by
its being rend in full. It appropriates
over $23,000,000, and is tho fifth of
the annual appropriation bills that
have passed tho senaio. At 5 o’clock
j). m. tho senate adjourned until Fri
day.
By a voto of 64 to 6 tho sonato of
tho United States put on record Fri
day its views and policy in relation to
tho existing revolution in Cuba, in tlio
following resolutions:
Resolved, by tlio sonato (tho house
of representatives concurring), That in
tho opinion of congress, a condition of
public war exists between tho govern
ment of Spain and tho government
proelamed and for somo time main
tained by force of arms Dy tho people
of Cuba; and that tho United States
of America should maintain a strict
neutrality between the contending
powers, according to oach all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United Stutos. Be it
further
Resolved, That the president ishero-
by requested to iuterposo his friendly
otliees with tho Spanish government
for tho recognition of tho independence
of Cuba.
Mr. Mitchell, republican, of Oregon,
chairman of tlio committee on priv
lieges and elections, gave notice of his
intention to briDg boforo tho senate
tho election case of Mr. Dupont for
the state of Delaware immediately
after the conclusion of tho morning
business on Wednesday next.
Other routino matters were consid
ered and tho senate adjourned until
Monday.
Chairman Hitt, of tho house com
mittee on foreign affairs, after a con
ference with Speaker lteod, decided to
call up the Cuban resolutions in the
houso Monday. The resolutions woro
passed by 263 to 16, after a lengthy
debate. They are somewhat milder
than tlio senate resolutions and aro the
more likely of the two to be agroed on
in conference.
BAILORS WERE COWARDLY.
Tho Steamer Alisa Sunk In Collision
l>y Laliourgogne.
A New York spooiolsays: Tlio steam
ship Ailsa, of tho Atlas lino, was ;8unk
about 2:30 Saturday afternoon, by'tlio
steamship LaBourgogne, of tho Geu-
oralo Trans-Atlautiquo' line, ’bound for
Havre. "’ 1 1 1
Tlie Ailsa had sailed, from Now.York
en routo to Kingston, Jtunaoia. Ow
ing to tho douse fog, tho Ailsa oamo
to anohor just at the south mouth of
tho Narrows.
Immediately after striking tho Ailsa,
tearing out a largo portion of her side,
La Bourgogno backed' out and, aftor
disengaging horsolf, proceeded on her
way, without making tho slightest of
fer to rendor assistance to tlio Ailsa,
which filled and sunk almost immedi
ately. Tlio captain, passongors and
part of tho crow took to tho rigging,'
from'which tlioy wore rescued by tho
tug Harold, which happened to bo in
the vicinity at tho time. Tho Harold
bIbo picked up iator a part of tho crew
from a small boat belonging to the
Ailsa.
As far as oan bo learned, tho La
Bourgogno suffered little or no injury
from tho impact. Tho crow and jias-
sougers of tho sunken steamer wero
landed at tho ship nows oilico of tho
United States by the tug.
lii intorviows with the passengers of
tho ill-fated vessel it was learuod that
the crew of tho Ailsa bohnvedina most
brutal aud cowardly manner.
It is assorted that whon tho La
Bourgogno struck tlio Ailsa the crow,
instead of trying to assist, scorned to
bo inspired with only tho desire to
savo themselves.
Tho Cubans in Washington aro much
pleasod with tho uction of tho sonato,
aud want tho houso to do likowiso at
onoo. Tho goneral impression among
tho influential friomls of Cuba at tho
capital not directly connected with
the movement iu an oflicial sense is
that Spain will plaoo relianco in the
president and depend upon him to
forestall the effect of any legislation
that may be euaotod.
HOUSE IS FOR CUBA.
RESOLUTIONS PASS AY A VOTE
OF 280 TO 17 AGAINST.
Senate Will Probably Concur at tho
Earliest, Moment.
Tho houso of representatives voted
Monday ou tho Cuban resolutions, re
ported by the committeo ou foreign
affairs, and adopted them by a voto of
263 to 17.
Tlio full text of tho resolution is os
follows:
“Resolved, by tho houso of repre
sentatives, tlio sonato concurring,
That in tho opinion of congress a state
of public war exists iu Cuba, the par
ties to.-whioh aro entitled to beliiger-
ont rights, and tlio United States
should observe a strict neutrality be
tween iho belligerouts.
Resolved, That congress deplores
tho destruction of life and property
caused by tho war now waging iu that
island, and behoving that tlio only
permanent solution of the contost,
equally iu the interest of Spain, tho
people of Cuba, nud other nations,
woulcl bo in tlio establishment of a
governmont by tho choice of tho peo-
plo of Cuba, it is the seuso of eon-
gross that tho government of tho
United States should use its good of
fices nnd friendly influence to that end.
Resolved, that tho United Statos
bus not intervened in the struggles be
tween uny European governments aud
their colonies ou this continent, but
from the very eloso rejatious betweon
Iho people of the United States aud
those of Culm, in consequence of its
proximity and the extent of tho com
merce between tho two people, tho
present war is eutailing such losses
upon tlio people of tho United States
hat congress is of the opinion that the
government of tho United States
should bo prepared to, protect the
legitimate interests of our citizens by
intervention if necessary.

A spocial committee of tho Now

on American finances, but Mr.Carlisle
did not rnuko his appearance.

Mr. uud Mrs. Hootli Will Orgnnlzo
Forces of Tlieir Own.
A New York dispatch says: A new
Salvation Army is to bo organized by
ex-Commauder Balliugton Booth and
his wife.
It is the result of tho recent conflict
between tho goneral in England and
his son in America who built up tho
organization aud who was summarily
dismissed for refusing to abandon tho
work iu this country to which ho had
devoted himself for so many years.
Balliugton Bootli and his wife have
given out a statement in which they
say among other things:
“Wo cannot close our eyes to the
fact that wo havo another allegiance;
we aro not our own and cannot dispose
of our lives and influences to please
ourselves. God lias called us to work
for him. We dnre not, thoreforo, ro-
main idle.”
