IN THE SENATE.
Resolution condemning Armenian Massacres
-Culom on Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Dec. 10.-In the Senate,
today, Call. Dem, of Florida presented a
resolution to suppress and prevent the
crueltes and massacres inflicted on the
Armenians, subjects of Turkey, and estab-
fish an Armenian government with an
adequate guarantee. The resolution was
laid on the table for the present.
Hoar. Rep, of Massachusetts, presented
a memorial of six clubs of colored men
in Massachusetts,, to prevent the lynching
of colorcd people in the South, which was
referred to the judiciary committee.
Cullom spoke on the Monroe doctrine.
He said: Whatever European rights
existed as to the ow nership of territory on
this hemisphere in our early history must
continue Ii there Is dispute between
nations as to boundary lines as they were,
let those lines be agreed upon by arbitra
ii, " or some way determined. The Unit ID
States does not seek war with any nation.
We do not attempt to interfere in mat
tiers touching the interests or controversies
in European countries, and we do not in
tend that European powers shall interfere
in political affairs in this Western CONT
ncnt. We offer no obstruction to the
proper use by foreign nations of any trans
continental channel which may be CON
structed, but the control and sovereignty
of such highway can never he held by any
foreign power.
1--WE have reached time when 1t be-
comes our duty to say to the world with
dignity and firmness that thus far, no far
ther, shall the foreign systems of govern
ment be permitted to approach Our policy
is an American policy, and our doctrine Is
the protection of American interests, our
motto is America for Americans.
The people of the United States have
already. so far as the Executive could de-
termine, plainly proclaimed the Monroe
doctrine. All that is now demanded is a
proclamation of the solemn and deliberate
concurrence of the Congress of the United
States to make it apparent to every
European nation what are the will and
temper Of the American people.
The growing industrial power of Eng
land in America Is of quite rs great signlf
canoe to us as her territorial expansion
1t remains for US TO decide whether the
great territory of Canada with its sistel
colonies in the West Indies and elsewhere
surrounding and guarding our approaches
to the gulf of Mexico and the delta OF thu
Mississippi, shall be deemed Us damaging
any further assertion of our own policy.
Ito my mind the point has been passed
when doubt should exist as to the com
plete maintenance of the Monroe doctrine
| broadly construed.
| At the conclusion of Cullom's speech
his resolution heretofore offered and re
ported, was referred to the committee OF
foreign RELATIONS. Squire introduced {
bill relating to the personnel of the nav,
and made few remarks explanatory
thereof The Senate then adjourned unit
1 tomorrow.

A Big Playfellow.

A man who has travelled in India great
deal says that an elephant is better play
fellow for boy than dog. The nativo
boys make the elephants take them III
swimming. They climb on the elephant
back and ride in triumph to the best SWIM
ming hole. The elephant walks into deep
water and keeps right on walking until
there's nothing to be seen of him except
his trunk and good, level island OF back.
The boy stands on the island and yells IKE
well, Just about like a good, healthy
American boy, and he dives off the island,
and the elephant grabs him with his trunk
and puts him up on TO dry land and an
swers his yell with cry that's half snort
and half whoop, and altogether he gives
that boy just as good a time "in swim.

HAYWARD C0NFESSES.
Alone Planned Catharine Ging's MUIR
der--Bixt Merely a Tool.
Also Planned to Murder Blixt But Latter Was
Too Cunning.

Minneapolis, Dec. 10,-Horry Hayward,
who is to be hanged tomorrow, has con
fessed his guilt in connection with thu
murder of Catherine Cling. He told
County Physician Burton the story of the
crime, admitting that he alone was the
instigator of the murderous plot, and that
Claus Blixt was his tool He said:
II intended to kill Blixt. The morn
ing after the murder I asked him to go to
Frank, the elevator boy, and borrow Il
revolver Blixt looked at me moment
and replied: No, Harry, no. He was too
cunning for me.
eff he had borrowed that revolver !
would have gone into the basement, shot
him through the right temple where a
man committing suicide would natural
ly shoot. Then would have dropped the
revolver by his side and backed from the
room.
Il figured that some one might come
rushing in and if 1 was backing out, l
could upon the appearance of any one,
simply rushed forward toward the body
as if had heard the shot, and was run
ming in"
Hayward made a g igantic effort to
cover up his shattered nerves, today, but
is fast breaking up.

THE FOLDING BICYCLE.

Notwithstanding its system of folding up.
The riders weight is supported entirely
on the axle of the rear wheel. The frame
is practically useless. 1t can be run at q
speed of ~ miles an hour, and in an in
slant can be folded up and slung over the
back.
BY its usage in war it will enable the
infantry to reconnoiter the enemy's posi-
ton and to send mounted scouts and pa
trolls to great distance. These divisions
of bicycle mounted infantry can cover
their tracks, choosing wooded territory
avoiding frequented roads and following
stealthily in the tracks of the enemy's
cavalry, can overlook their camps, and
bring back faithful report of the hostile
regiments.
Says a French writer, "Cavalrymen,
who until now have been so justly proud
of their ability to execute these delicate
missions, are naturally opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of the wheel, but it has been
proved that an infantry officer mounted
on folding bicycle and followed by three
or four picked cyclers carrying their guns,
can accomplish such a mission in less time
and with more certain results"
General Duchesne, reading the report Of
the French bicycle convention, exclaimed,
'Ah, if Napoleon had only had those BIZ
cyclesr'
In addition to the foregoing the New
York World tells that an American wheel
company is engaged in perfecdng two ap-
pliances of the cycle idea to modern war

Now, Tommy Tawnys busy little brain
instantly saw u chance for having what
he called "fun," and he set to work about
it at once.
First of all, he hunted till no found
some string; then he stretched it across tho
path where he knew Grandfather Graycoat
would come, and then sat down behind
tree and waited.
He was chuckling to himself at the idea
of the old rabbit tumbling over tho string
how his spectacles would fall from his
nose, and how foolish he would look, when
he heard "a sound of footsteps coming very
near. He put out his head to look, and
saw, to his terror, not Grandfather Gray
coat, but his mother and father coming
back from their marketing.
He had no time to undo the string, SO
scuttled away down the burrow and was
sitting there as quietly as could be, when
his mother, who had hurt herself very
much, came in.
OF course she knew who was the culprit
and whipped him soundly, and GRANDPA
