called by the State Camp Of Confed-

the Republic. The most significant part
of the proceedings was the adoption of
resolutions offered by the Confederate
Camp. which pledged the confederate
soldiers to maintain, by arms if neces-
sary, the rights of the American peo-
pie in any conflict with any foreign ma
ton. and claiming that the principles
embodied in the declaration of inde-
pendence gives to the Cuban people the
right to throw Off the Spanish yoke and
to be recognized as belligerents.
The resolutions "deny to our pres
ent executive the right of espionage
on our people to prevent them, as in
dividuals, to aid the Cuban people in
this war against SPAIN" and add "the
constitution of the United States was in
a large part the work of a great Nir-
gilman. The flag of this Union is our
flag; the honor of America is in part
in our keeping. and we will defend 1t
against all foreign nations, against ex.
ecutive usurpation or neglect, indif-
ference or timidlty, or betrayal of
trust"

RESPONSIBLE FOR WIVES.
Minnesota Husbands Must Keep Them at
Home or Muzzlc Them.

st. Paul.. Nov. "A decision by the
Minnesota supreme court to-day in
dioates that Minnesota husbands with
hot-tempered wives will either have
to keep them at home or send them out
calling muZzled. The decision Is in the
case of William Pett Morgan against
Esther Kennedy ct al, and William
Kennedy. her husband.
The court holds that the common law
rule making the husband liable for
damages for slanderous words uttered
by his wife, even though he was not
present and had not participated. is
not abrogated by any of the statutes
relating to marriages, but still holds
good. The court finds that the words
used by Mrs. Kennedy against Morgan.
"He has been drunk throughout
Thanksgiving week." involve moral
turpiture ON plaintiffs part, as well
as charging him with the commission
of an indictable offense.

the party took a lantern and went
into the Kiln when he discovered on the
ground before him the dead bodies Of
father and son. They had been suffo-
Gated by the fumes of the gas arising
from the kiln.
1t is supposed that the two men went
down into the kiln. which was only
partly filled, to straighten it out. so as
to burn more lime. The fathers body
was frishtfully burned. but the sons
was not SO badly dlsfigured.
