Brief Resume of the Routine Business
Transacted by the Upper
and Lower House.
A ripple of interest swept of the
house Wednesday when it became
known that Speaker Reed was the re¬
cipient of a call from Air. M. A. Hanna.
The speaker, who was in the chair
when Mr. Hanna’s presence was an¬
nounced, turned over the gavel to Air.
Sherman, of New York, and stepped
back into his office. Several congress¬
men had already gathered there and
witnessed the presentation. It is said
that the speaker and the manager of
McKinley's campaign had never met
before.
The session of the senate Wednes¬
day was attended by several interest¬
ing and important incidents. A joint
resolution to continue the powers of
the joint committee on the removal of
A t axes on alcohol used in manufactures
t od the arts was reported as passed.
___l The committee on interstate com¬
merce was instructed to institute an
inquiry as to the prevention of busi¬
ness competition by the joint traffic millers as¬
sociation of railroads, the flour
and the window glass manufacturers.
In.the chaplain’s opening prayer in
the senate the late Speaker Crisp was
referred to as “a man faithful and loyal
in all his relations; an admirable pre¬
siding officer and an earnest and faith¬
ful servant of the people.”
The independence of Cuba was the
subject of three joint resolutions in¬
troduced by Senators Cameron, repub¬
lican, of Pennsylvania; Mills, demo¬ of
crat, of Texas, and Call, democrat,
Florida.
The first acknowledges the inde¬
pendence of the island and directs the
tender of the friendly offices of the
United States government w4th Spain
to bring the war to a close.
The second directs tl.o president of
the United States to take possession of
the island with the military .and naval
forces of the United States and to hold
possession till the "Cuban people can
organize a government.
And the third recognizes the repub¬
lic of Cuba as a free and independent
government and extends to it all rights
in the ports and within the jurisdiction
of the United States.
The first two were referred to the
committee on foreign relations and the
last w as laid on the table temporarily
until such time as Air. Call may desire
to address the senate on the subject.
Something of a political sensation
was produced by a motion made liy the
senator from Nebraska, Air. Allen, to
take up the Dingley bill for action so
as, he said, to preclude the necessity
for an extra session. The motion was
carried by a yea and nay vote—25 to
21. A very interesting colloquy fol¬
lowed, and w as still in progress w hen
the morning hour expired. The mat¬
ter then went over without further ac
tion, but may be taken up at any time
that a similar motion is made by any
senator.
The immigration bill was then taken
up as unfinished business, but no ac¬
tion was taken upon it, and the senate,
at 2:30 p. m., adjourned.
The house, at Thursday’s session,
indulged in its first political discus¬
sion. It was provoked by the consid¬
eration of a bill amending the law pro¬
hibiting the alien ownership of lands
in the territories so as to permit aliens
to acquire possession under foreclosure
of mortgage and hold the land for ten
years, within which period they must
dispose of it. Air. Hepburn, republi¬
can, of Iowa, asked by what rights dele¬
gates from the territories sought to
change a law now in accordance with
the platform the inhabitants approved
by their votes at the last election. A
breezy discussion ensued. The terri¬
torial delegates urged the passage of
, the bill as a matter of justice to their
people, who are now deprived of the
benefits of foregin capital, but the
house—60 to 73—refused to pass the
hill to a third reading. Under the
call of committees bills were passed
prohibiting the sale of liquor in the
eapitol building—104 to 8—and pro¬
tecting the rights of dramatic authors
and musical composers in their pro¬
ductions.
The independence of Cuba and the
recognition of the insurgents as a
regularly organized government had
two advocates in the senate at Thurs¬
day’s session in the persons of Sena¬
tors Cullom, republican, of Illinois,
and Call, democrat, of Florida. Air.
,
Cullom delivered a carefully prepared
■speech in support of his views, while
Mr. Call contented himself with a brief
discursive statement.
At 5 o’clock the house took a recess
until 8 o’clock, the evening session
being devoted to the consideration of
private pension bills, and at the ex¬
piration of that session the house ad¬
journed until Monday.
The fact that the house passed a bill
Thursday to prohibit the sale of liquor
in the eapitol, induced Rev. Cowden,
the blind chaplain, to refer in liis in¬
vocation at the opening of thd session
JjViflRv to that fact. “We thank Thee,
SYCAMORE. IRWIN COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18,1890.
Oh Lord,” mid he, “that the house is
no longer responsible for the liquor
traffic within the halls of the national
eapitol. Grant, we pray Thee, that
the bill passed here yesterday will go
through the regular channels and
speedily become a law, never again to
be repealed in the history of our na¬
tion.” The conclusion of the prayer
was greeted with an unusual demon¬
stration. Half a hundred members
applauded vigorously, but Speaker
Reed promptly suppressed this out¬
burst. On motion of agreed Mr. Dinglcy, the
floor leader, it was that when
the house adjourned it he to meet .Mon¬
day. The joint resolution extending
until the close of this season, the time
in which the joint committee for the
investigation of the subject of tile re¬
bate of tiie tax on alcohol used in man¬
ufacturers or arts may report, was
adopted. The house then on motion
of Mr. McMillin, democrat, of Tennes¬
see, went into committee of the whole
for the consideration of bills on the
private calendar.
Congressional Melange.
It is expected that a number of res¬
olutions will be introduced in congress
questioning contracts have the secretary made of war why
not been at various
points for beginning river and harbor
work in accordance with the provisions
of the river and harbor act, and also
why certain work has not been ordered
where contracts are not necessary.
The secretary of state has received
so far returns from the governors of
eight states on the result of the recent
election of presidential electors. These
returns are from Alabama, Connecticut,
Delaware, Indiana, North Carolina,
Ohio and New Jersey. Copies of them
have been sent to both houses of con¬
gress and they will be published in a
local newspaper as required by law.
The bill to restrict immigration was
taken up as the unfinishable business
—a motion by Mr. Gibson, democrat,
of Maryland, to postpone its consider¬
ation till the first Monday in January
having been defeated by a vote of 13
to 37. Various amendments to the
text of the bill were offered or sug¬
gested; but no action was taken on
any of them, although they were dis¬
cussed a couple of hours, and at 3:55
p. m. the senate adjourned till Mon¬
day.
The unofficial reports from Venezu¬
ela that tin agitation has sprung up
against the boundary settlement agreed
on between the United States and
Great Britain, causes much surprise
and no little concern in official quar¬
ters at Washington.
The program of the ways and means
committee to prepare a tariff bill for
the extra session of congress, meets
with general approval among the re¬
publicans. It is expected that the bill
will be brought forward very early in
the extra session and passed under a
rule fixing a time for debate, so that
its fate will be in the hands of the sen¬
ate early.
The republcean members of the
ways and means committee have all
been elected to the next congress, and
it is presumed that Air. Reed will be
chosen speaker and w ill not change
the personnel of the committee, so that
there is no probability that any effort
will be made to do the work over
again.
The manner of the death of General
Alaceo, the Cuban leader, has pitched
the Cuban question to a high tension
among the members of congress. His
betrayal by the Spanish officers has
done more perhaps to incite indigna¬
tion against Spain than anything that
has yet taken plaee. Representative
Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, said that for cowardice and
murder nothing in the annals of war
could equal the act perpetrated by the
Alarquis of Ahumada, under the direc¬
tion of Butcher Wefler.
MESSAGE PLEASES SPAIN.
Government and People Satisfied With
Our President’* Language.
Semi-official advices received at
Washington from Aladrid state that
government circles as -well as the con¬
( element generally
servative are en¬
tirely satisfied with the feature of the
president’s message which relates to
Cuba.
The first impressions created by the
meager reports to Spain was not satis¬
factory and produced some irritation.
When the full text of the Cuban chap¬
ter appeared in the leading papers of
the kingdom there was, a complete
revolution of sentiment, and the presi¬
dent’s courteous and considerate treat¬
ment of the subject received general
approval.
The president’s utterances are taken
on the whole to indicate a better un¬
derstanding between the two countries.
These advices contain the further
information that as it is the intention
of the Spanish government, when cer¬
tain of the provinces are pacified, to
give home rule to Cuba on the lines
indicated in the president’s message,
little fear of intervention is now felt.

A PROGRAM FOR TUB PURl’OSE

The Outcome of William .1. Bryan’s
Hunting Expadltion In the In¬
terior of Missouri.
The result of a conference had be¬
tween William J. Bryan, Senator Jones
of Arkansas, Governor Stone of Mis¬
souri, and other prominent democrats,
which took place during their recent
hunting expedition in the interior of
Missouri, has been made known from
a responsible source. distinguished of
When ' the party
hunters disbanded, it had been agreed
to carry on an aggressive campaign of
silver agitation for the next four years.
Tho National Bureau of Volunteer
Speakers is organized, with headquar¬
ters in Washington.
The purpose of the bureau is to
maintain speakers in every county in
the United States. The speakers must
pass an examination as to their fitness
and will be supplied with all the argu¬
ments and statistics obtainable. The
field workers will organize free silver
clubs and make monthly reports of
progress. One of the incentives to
active work is a roll of honor. This
will be made up of workers achieving
the best results and a place on the roll
will be the strongest essential for pre¬
ferment to a successful democratic
candidate for president in 1900. Will¬
iam J. Bryan has been consulted in
every step taken, and has consented to
become custodian of the roll of honor
in the following letter:
“Lincoln-, N’kis., November 28, 1890. To
the National Bureau of Volunteer Speakers,
Walter Vrooinan, Chairman, St. Louis, Mo.
—My Dear Sir: Yours of November 15th
received. I note what you say in regard to
the plan of the National Bureau of Volunteer
Speakers. I shall be glad to receive the
honor roll of volunteer speakers who, under
the auspices of your bureau, labor to culti¬
vate an interest in political questions and
increase the devotion to our government.
You are quite correct in saying that the
honors of victory must be shared by the
soldiers as well as by the commanders. In
fact, it is much easier .‘or soldiers to select
commanders than it is for commanders to
secure soldiers.
“Y'our plan of keeping a record of the
work done by each in this great contest
enables honor to be given where honor is
most due. Yours very truly,
“W. J. Bryan.”
It is the intention of the bureau to
have 5,000 speakers in the field within
three months, and to keep the enthus¬
iasm going till election day in 1900.
GIVE M’KINLEY A CHANCE.
Chairman Lane, of National Bimetal¬
list Committee, Accepts Verdict.
In ail address issued to the bimetal¬
lists of the United States, Chairman
Charles D. Lane, of the national bi¬
metallic committee, urges them to
accept the verdict of the country and
uphold Major AleKinley as president.
He advises them to cease active agi¬
tation on the subject of free coinage in
the hope that the theories advocated
by the republican party will bring
relief, but says the struggle should be
renewed until bimetallism is an accom¬
plished fact if the republicans break
their pledges and resort to the issuing
of bonds to maintain the country’s
credit.
ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED.
One Hundred and l en Per ons Buried
in Failles: Houses.
A terrible disaster occurred at Xeres,
in the province of Andalusia, sixteen
miles through from Cadiz, Spain, Friday morn¬
ing, the collapse of a build¬
ing.
Twenty-five persons were buried in
the debris. The house fell upon an
adjoining tenement building, which
also gave away.
The tenement house was inhabited
by eighty-five persons, all of whom
were buried by the wreckage. Eleven
dead bodies and forty-six seriously in¬
jured persons have already been taken
from the ruins, and the work of exca¬
vation for the purpose of recovering
others is proceeding as rapidly as pos¬
sible.
CORBETT ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Offers Bob Fitzsimmons So iie Kx'ra
Inducements.
Harry Corbett is in receipt of a long
letter from Jim Corbett authorizing
him to make every effort to get up a
match with Fitzsimmons, and as a re¬
sult, Harry Corbett gives out the fol¬
lowing:
Corbett will meet Fitzsimmons be¬
fore the Olympic club for from $5,000
to $2,000 and a side bet of from $1,000
to $10,000 and for any purse that will
be offered.
In order to show his readiness to
fight, Corbett will not insist on a side
bet.

WAS ASSASSINATED
MACEO,THE CUBAN LEADER,BE¬
TRAYED BY HIS FRIEND.
The Junta in New York Hears From
Their Agents Sent to Make
An Investigation.
The Cuban junta at New York, at a
late hour Saturday afternoon, heal’d by
■way of Jacksonville, Fla., from then
agents sent to investigate the facts re¬
garding Maceo’s reported death.
The dispatch to the junta says that
Maceo was assassinated through the
instrumentality led Maceo of Dr. Zertncha, who
and his staff across the tro
eha, where they were met by Aliumeda,
and Maceo and his entire staff were
assassinated with machetes.
Dr. Zertucha was the personal friend
of Antonio Maceo and his personal
physician. He has been, apparently,
one of the most patriotic members of
the insurgent forces and held the per¬
sonal confidence of every member of
Maoeo’s staff. ’ ,
The plot, by which the great general
and his staff were assassinated, was
well planned and one of the most dia¬
bolical in the history of wars.
Maceo’s The party was composed of forty j
men. night was dark abd stormy.
Maceo was accompanied by Miro, an¬
other important insurgent leader and j
member of his staff', fhey landed near
Banes and shortly afterwards came the
encounter with the Spanish troops un¬
der Cirujeda, resulting; in the death of
the Cuban chief and the entire force.
The Cubans were not expeoting battle
and came in contact, with the Span¬
iards, who were in waiting armed and
prepared for the work of extermina¬
tion.
That Dr. Zertuch was employed to
betray his leader there is no question.
What he was paid for it, however, is
not yet learned. He has asked the
Spanish government for passes to
Spain and for official Spanish protec¬
tion.
The details of the assassination are
arousing the wildest, kind of indigna
tion.
| Dr. Zertucha’s ** Surrender.”
The story of Maceo’s death, as told
from offioial source, sustains fully the
theory of assassination. General Ala¬
ceo, instead of crossing the trocha
directly with his man, was, through
some covert influence, induced to pass
Mariel on boat, and to reach his forces
on the east side of the death line. There
everything was in readiness by the
conspirators, anid the brave leader fell
a victim to the trap into whie u he had
walked. How singular it is, that
Spaniads, who usually kill every one
in sight, should have been considerate
enough to have allowed Alaceo’s phy¬
sicians, Maxkno Zertuoha, to surren¬
der. Instead otf putting him in chains
and rushing him off to a dungeon, he
is treated with distinction, is paraded
before newspaper correspondents, and
has that freedom of speech which is a
novelty in Cuba.
Aroused to Desperation
The depression into which i\he Cu- i
bans were thrown upon the fihst an- j
nouncement of Alaceo’s death,, now |
that the fact of his cowrardly assetssina
tion is confirmed, has changed t o that
of desperate determination, and' will
make even more persistent their fight
for freedom. Maceo’s assassination is
pointed out as conclusive evidence that
Spain is still a stranger to civilized
methods, and the lesson drawn thiere
from by the Cubans is that they m ight
as well die with their faces to the Aoe,
as become the victims otf assassination,
It has been well kr.own for a year
past that there was a price set upon
Alaceo’s head, and thajfc Captain Geme- j
ral Weyler looked toward assassin#
tion, and not military triumph, for
victory.
. Weyler’fe Opinion.
Regarding the effects that would be
produced in the rebel ranks and among | :
rebel sympathizers by the death of
Maoeo, Captain General Weyler says
in an interview that it will be demor¬
alizing, since Alaceo’s prestige among
them w’as very great. He was filled
with the fighting spirit, was a dashing give
commander, and was ready to
battle to the Spaniards when the time
and opportunity suified him. There
were, however, other rebel leaders of
importance. • The prf istige of a leader
was an important factor for the insur¬
gents.
