MORGAN ON THE BrRING SEA CLAIMS
Alabama Senator Paid His Respects to
the British Ambassador.


the British Ambassador.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The feature of
the senate today was a speech by SEN
ator Morgan of Alabama, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations and
a member of the Paris Boring sea tri-
bunal, upon a resolution offered by him
last week instructing the foreign rela-
tions committee to investigate the ques-
ton of liability of the United States for
the seizure of British ships in Boring
sea in 1890. Senator Morgan took the
position in the last congress that the
settlement of these claims by the pay
ment of lump sum Of $425,000, as rec
commended by the president, was not
wise or proper. His remarks on that oc-
casion were the subject of some sarcas-
tic comment from the British ambassa-
dor here in the latters official corre-
spondence with Lord Kimberly. That
correspondence was printed recently
from the British Blue Book, and most
of Senator Morgan's speech today was
devoted to paying his respects to Sir
Julian Pauncefote.
His resolution, which was as follows,
was unanimously adopted at the con-
clusion of his speech:
Resolved, That the message OF lhe
president received by the senate on Feb
ruary 10, 1895, and his message received
in the senate December 3, relating to
the payment by the United States of
claims of Great Britain arising out of
the Boring sea controversy, be referred
to the committee on foreign relations,
with instructions that said committee
examine into the question of such la
bility to Great Britain and the amount
thereof, if any, and of any liability on
the part of Great Britain or Canada
arising out of the said controversy, and
that said committee shall have author
ity to report by bill or otherwise"

Mary Thurman, Daughter of the
"Old Roman"
HER CAREER A VARIED ONE
Married Three Times. Divorced Twice.
and Now the Wife of bug HOLT
day the Base ballist.

Chicago, Dec. "a special from Los
Angeles, Cal, says:
News comes from the Colorado des-
ert mining camp of Picacho near
Yuma, that Mary Thurman, daughter
of Judge Thurman, mas made the rich
est strike known in any of the desert
camps for years. She was prospecting
in the hills and found vein that prom
Uses to make her bonanza queen. Mary
Thurman was once the belle of WASH
ington and there she married Lieuten-
ant Cowles, now United States naval
attache in London, who recently we'd
ded Miss Roosevelt. sister of the secre-
tary of the United States embassy.
Cowles and she soon disagreed and he
permitted her to get a divorce. Then
she came west to San Diego and lived
at Tiajuan, on the Mexican side. There
she met and married Thomas Clifford, a
dashing adventurer, who proved to
have a wife and two little children.
Then she went home to see her mother
before the old lady died, but Judge
Thurman refused to permit her to enter
the door, and she returned. She got
divorce from Clifford and then surprised
her friends by marrying Bug Holn-
day, the baseball player. She is known
in all the mining camps of southern
California"
HER BROTHER HOPEFUL.
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 9.-When seen
by an Associated Press representative
this morning Allen w. Thurman said:
when my sister was last in Column
bus 1 bought her interest IL my moth
er's estate, something like thousand
acres Of land, 1 believe, 1 believe she
wished the money to use in the develop
ment of her mining interests, which at
that time were considerable. Her hus-
band, Mr.. Holiday, is an industrious
young man, and they have been active
in prospecting and operating mining
property for some time. l have not
heard from them, however and thus
can not say anything positively. OF
one thing you may be sure, however, .

PopuIists Agree to lnterpose No
Objections to Organization.
MORGAN ON BERlNG SEA
Senator From Alabama Used Vigorous
Language Concerning the Brit
ish Ambassador.

Washington, Dec. S.-The populist
senators have changed their former de-
cision concerning the organization of
the senate ana nave now agreed among
themselves to interpose no objections to
the republicans taking control. They
will act together, but will withdraw as
a body and allow the republicans to
elect their candidates for the senate
Offices They may possibly nominate
candidate for president pro tenn, but
will not press his Claims, nor continue
his candidacy so as to materially delay
organization.
SENATE COMMITTEES.
The republican caucus committee of
the senate was in session three hours
today, but adjourned until tomorrow
without completing its assignment of
committee membership. The work &C
complished is only tentative, but so far
as 1t has progressed it has confirmed
the forecast of craftsmanship assign
ments sent out by the Associated Press
last night.
There has been an exchange of places
by which Senator Cameron takes a
membership place on foreign relations
and Senator Wolcott the place on
finance. There is a probability that this
committee will be increased by the ad-
dition of only one member. This in
crease is to be made to give the repub-
licans an opportunity to put silver
man and an anti-silver man on the COM
mittee. SenatsC Jones Of Nevada is to
be allowed to retain his place, but as
a populist and not as a republican as
heretofore. This arrangement will give
the republicans six members, the demo-
Gratis five and the populists one. On
financial questions the committee will
stand seven to five in favor of silver.
The populists probably will retain
their present chairmanships so far as
they have them, Senator Stewart re-
manning at the head of mines and min
ing, Senator Allen of forests and res
ervations and Senator PETER of the com
mittee to examine several branches OF
civil service.

Senate Routine,

Washington, Dec. y.-The chief inter-
est in the senate proceedings today cen
tered in the speech of Senator Morgan
of Alabama, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign affairs, on the Boring sea
award.
He said he felt 1t incumbent upon him
self to reply to certain published COM
ments made upon his course in the SEN
ate by the British premier and the Brit
ish ambassador. He declared that the
Paris tribunal did not attempt to deter
mine the question of liability of the
United States for seizures or the
amount of such liability. Great Britain
contended, however, that the liability
was decided as a necessary inference,
and President Cleveland, proceeding on
that assumption, had, through the state
department, agreed to pay the $425,OOO
in discharge of this alleged liability of
the United States. But that agreement
could not be carried out without the
ratification of congress.
The findings of the tribunal rested en-
tirely upon the treaty-making power of
the two governments, and the United
States and Great Britain were bound to
carry out the regulations decided upon
for the protection of the seals as much
as IL those regulations had been incor-
porated in the treaty. But neither gov
eminent was bound further. At most
the award of the arbitrators would only
furnish a remote argument for the

CAMERON TO LEAVE THE SENATE
Has Formally Announced lie Is Not
Candidate for Reelection.

Washington, Dec. 9.-In a letter written
by Senator Cameron today to Hon. Sam
uel ]. McCarroll of Harrisburg, Pa, Sen
ator Cameron makes use of the following
language:
MANY friends from every section of the
state are writing me making inquiry as
to my wishes and intentions and cordially
Offering their support. 1t is due to them
that a public announcement should be
made in reply to the inquiries, and 1
take this opportunity through the senator
from my native county to thank you and
my friends in every county in the state
for their more than generous support for
more than a third of a century, and to
say that 1 have not been, am not now
and will not be a candidate for reelection
to the senate of the United States. Not
being in office, better opportunity will be
offered me to serve those who have served
me and that I will do, so there can be no
doubt"

San Francisco Dec. 9.-The superior
court decided today that John w. Mackay
and Senator John p. Jones did not de-
fraud the stockholders of the Consolidated

and Mackay were also interested, to re-
tain rich tailings and also by paying the
milling company an exorbitant price for

ton took place here today against the
abuses of the municipal administration Of
Madrid. The gathering took place on the
Plaza del Torres. All the shops were

the garrison were held in readiness for
action, but there were no disturbances.
Ex-Premier Sagasta, the Marquis Di Vega

deputies and members Of political parties,
ecclesiastic and merchants, were present.
The meeting was the indirect outcome
of an assault recently made upon the
Marquis De Cabriana, son of General
Cabriana, a young conservative nobleman,
due to the fact that the marquis had
made himself conspicuous recently by his
courageous attacks upon the notorious
abuses Of the municipal administration Of
Madrid.

WHY CHILDREN LIE.
An Instance Where Duplicity Was at
High Pressure.

An Instance Where Duplicity Was at
High Pressure.
DR.. Nathan Oppenheim, In one OF the
magazines, scientifically explains why
children lie."
I have always thought that the little
romancers should be gently dealt with, for
very often their .'whops" are a mkt
ure OF facts. dreams. imagination. and
the narrow horizon natural to their
limited experience. A child who won't
attempt at times to sQuirm out OF trying
situation must be either heavenly good or
very stupid.
But do not know exactly what to think
of a little vixen of a girl whose naughty
brother flew at her the other day and bit
her on the arm.
The mother was from home, and after
few moments the slight impression OF
the bad brothers teeth began to fade
away. The indignant and revengeful vic
tim feared the enorrnity OF the offense
might not lie realized by belated parent,
so every once in q while she bit herself in
the same place anew, and by this means
kept her dumb witness in q fine glow, so
was able to produce quite sensation when
dinner time ard marina arrived.
Papa and bad brother had a spirited
interview at bedtime, and 1t was some
days before the truth was discovered.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Duke OF AOsta First Saw Princess
Helene In a London Street.

| Duke of AOsfa First Saw Princess
Helene In a London Street.
NJ. Ernest Daudet contributes an inter-
esting article in the Figaro about the mar
riage of the Duke of Aosta and the Princess
Helene.
n. Ernest Daudet says that it was three
years ago, while walking down Picca-
dilly, that the Duke saw the Princess for the
first time. She passed. He asked her
name. When II had been told him he re-
Piled:
Il will never have any other woman for
my wife,
Princess Helene was then twenty ycaB
old.
NJ Daudet then describes how, after a
long period of reserve on the part of King
HumbArt, each family began to look upon
the marriage with favorable eyes, and how
the Due d'Aumale asked the Duke OF Aosta
to Chantilly to meet the Princess and her
mother, the Comtesse de Paris. There was
quite large house party, from which, how
ever, it was regretted that the Due de Ne
mours was absent. 1t appears that as his
son, the Due d'Alencon, married a sister of
the Queen of Naples, the old Prince feared
to seem to approve of a marriage which
would give him for grand nephew a member
OF the House of Savoy, which had despoiled
Of his crown the King of the Two Sicilies
Mr.. Daudet goes on to say that although
the Duke OF Aosta has been at Chaptilly for
three days, and Though he had had frequent
opportunities of q tete-a-tete with Princess
Helene, he did not declare his love owing to
his bashfuluess, which seemed to render him
speechless when In the presence OF the Prin-
cess onasubJect that he waseloqueDt enough

On the fourth day, while in the library of

together, carne to an understa nding. An
