ADvICES from Washington are to
the effect that the Cuban question
has been much discussed at the State
Department within the last few days.
Secretary Fish il very cautious in his
policy, and 10 all arguments in favor
of recognition of the revolutionists on
the island he answers that the time
for doing SO has not yet arrived
When further pressed he says that
hasty recognition would complicate
our relations with England, by which
he seems TO mean that it would make
a settlement of the Alabama claims
more difficult. The Banks resolution
of sympathy may pass the House,
but II is not likely to get through the
Senate Mt this session, though the en-
voys Of the insurgents are pressing 1t
quite vigorously,

cLARKsvrLLE TOBACCO MARKET.

Since our last report we have had
large breaks, full board of buyers,
with a close approximation to last
weeks prices. Tobacco, as general
thing, being in good keeping order
and a fair proportion of the various
sorts. The sales are almost exclu-
sively of the new crop, demonstrating
that the old crop has previously gone
forward.
Our receipts during the season up
to this date, amount to COTS hhds. as
follows: j. J. Thomas & Co., 1914;
Whitlock, Mckinney Il Co., 1O47;
Smith q Hutchings, 1900; Harrison
Il Shelby, $40; Seat & Bowling, 30;
Turnkey & Woodbridge, 1914. Total,
6075.
Messrs. NJ. RAIDER 4 Son, of New York, In
their monthly circular quote as follows:
Kentucky tobacco has been quite active
during last month; sales, including about
300 hhdsresales, come up to about 1900 hhds
of which $500 hhds were taken for export,
part old crop heavy Western districts and
Clarksville leaf, Of which stocks are now
but nominal, part new crop Ciarksville, of
the better grades, at prices ranging from IL
@l6e, with several lots of lower grades at
61zGs7c for Tugs, and 71S@lOc for low to me-
dunn leaf. The destinations of those pur-
chases were, in great part, for the Mediter-
ranean and the North of Europe, with some
lots for the coast of Africa and Gibraltar.
The home trade was in the market for some
800 hhds, mostly lower grades of old cut-
ting, at prices from lO@ll1zc. Stocks of old
tobacco are now so much reduced that we
shall for the future have to look for sup

The fiftieth anniversary of the
Pope's priesthood will be celebrated
on the 18th instant. On the 18th of
March, in Rome, Faith Beckz, Gener-
al of the Jesuits, celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his officiating
at the altar. On Saturday evening
he went to the Pope and commuica-
ted the event, and His Holiness re-
piled, jocularly, "You precede me by
n few days; but who knows that L
shall not celebrate likewise the fiitieth
anniversary of my conservation as
bishop?" AS this event took place
on the 25th of May, 1897, when Plus
TX, then Monsignore Mastai, was
made Archbishop of Spoleto, il is ev-
idcnt that His Holiness anticipates
the achievement of his eighty-sixth
year, and reign of the exceptional
duration Qor a Pope of thirty one
years.

tempted to whip a boy named Hutchinson,
who resisted and left school, A day or
two afterward young Hutchison. accom-
panied by bis brother and man named
Smith visited the school house for the a..
vowed purpose Of chastising Beanc, and
not finding him there, they proceeded to
his residence. Beane saw them coming,
armed himself, as also did Mr.. Moore,
who happened to beg at the housv.- Gu
their arrival Hutchinson said they intended
giving him (Beane) a ,thrashiug. Moore
demonstrated, when Smith drew pistol
and shot him dead. This was signal for
all to produce pistols. Beane shot and
Instantly killed Cyrus Hutchinson, brother
of the schoolboy. He had scarcely fired
when Smith, who had instantly killed
Moore, fred another barrel of his repeater
at Beane; the ball struck, but failed to
Immediately disable him. Beane then
turned on Smith and lodged three balls in
bis body, inflicting wounds which resulted
MORALLY in few minutes. Twenty min
utes after the ARRAY commenced Moore,
Beane, Cyrus Hutchinson and Smith lay
dead on the ground within few feet Of
each other. Hutchison's brother was the
only person who escaped unhurt.
