Adoption Of Resol olutions Recog-
nizing Insurgents the Occasion
Of a Demonstra ion.
The Vote in the House Was 244
to 27-- Will Be Sent to
Cleveland.
Spaniards An1iously Awaited
the Result --Some Talk Of
Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, April THE house
has adopted the senate concurrent
resolutions, by a vote Of 244 to ~. It
was received with tumultuous cheers.
The vote on the resolutions was taken
in the shape Of a motion to adopt the
conference report, this report showing
that the house conferees had agreed to
the senate resolutions. The resolutions
being concurrent, do not need the ap-
proval Of the president, but of course
will be sent to him through the usual
channels, so that he will receive official
notification Of the opinion of congress
on the Cuban question. .r @..s.@
The great swelling chorus of ayes
was followed by q feeble, scattering
negative vote, and the speaker was
about to declare the motion carried,
when Mr.. Hit asked for the yeas and
nays. Yielding to the appeals of many
members, however, he withdrew it.
Mr.. Boutelle (Rep. Me- who had made
himself conspicuous by his opposition
to the report, made no effort to secure
the yeas and nays, and the report
would have been declared adopted, had
not Mr.. Tucker DEM Va. D. member
of the foreign affairs committee, who
has opposed the Cuban resolutions, at
this junoture stepped forward and de-
manded record making vote, and the
roll was called The report was:
adopted, IA to 81.
The announcement was created with
a great demonstration on the floor,
which was taken up by the galleries.
AS soon as the tumult had subsidized,
Mr.. Hooker, {Rep., N. W chairman of
the river and harbor committee. moved
to suspend the rules and pass the river
and harbor bill. He asked that the
reading of the bill be dispensed with,
but Mr.. Richardson {Dem, Tenn Oh
jected to passing bill carrying millions
of dollars without the formality of
reading it.
After 30 minutes discussion the bill
was passed.

ATTACKED DEPARTMENT STORES

senrtor Knute Nelson Says They Are
the Devil Fish of Society.
20 WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator Mel
son made vigorous attack on depart
ment stores in speech The post
office appropriation bill was under con.
sideration and there was an amend
ment pending to consolidate all smaller
offices within large radius, abolishing
the office of local postmaster and plac-
ing the same under civil service rules.
Senator Nelson made a bitter on
slaught on the amendment, saying that
If carried out, as contemplated, there
would be but one postmaster in a
county, and that at the county seat,
and he would be sort of autocrat. He
said that this scheme of consolida dation
was detrimental to the interest of the
people, and he then cited the depart
ment stores as an instance
Devil Fish of Modern Society.
''It is the devil fish >of modern So
ciety,'' said the senator, sand has done
more to injure the real business condi.
tions Of our cities than anything else,
in a commercial sense
Mr. Nelson then offered an amend
ment which provided that there should
be no consolidation outside Of five.

cars run frequently by all substations.

TALK OF ARBITRATION.

There Is n General Feeling in Favor
of Diplomacy in Spain.
MADRID, April 1.-THE result ON the
question of the attitude of the United
States towards Cuba, which it is under
stood here is to be taken on the United
States senate resolutions in the house
Of representatives, is anxiously awaited
here. In any case, it is pointed out,
hostilities must soon cease on account
of the approach of the rainy season,
and no furthur reinforcements. worth
mentioning will be sent to Cuba until
the month of September. The war de-
partment is making extensive prepara-
tions in this connection. and four iron
clads and several torpedo boats are
ready to sail at short notice from Fer
rol, in order to take part in the block
ade of the coasts of Cuba, should the
insurgents be recognized as belliger-
ents.
The general opinion, here, however,
is that the question as to how and when
the United States will intervene in
Cuba will be left to President Cleve
land, and it is believed that the latter
will only, at least as preliminary,
offer the friendly offices Of the United
States in the matter, while intimating
that other steps may be taken should
the offer be refused.
In spite Of the fact that it has been
officially denied here and at Havana
that Captain General Weyler has ten
dered his resignation or is to be re-
called, all classes of people express sur
prise that the captain general has been
able to accomplish SO little since he as
sumed command in Cuba. Most peo-
pie here, however, in view of the out
cry against General Weyler in the
United States, would look upon his re-
call under the present circumstances as
being very much in the nature of a
humiliating back down upon the part
of Spain, and this might lead to serious
results here.
Think Diplomacy Might Settle 1t.
But, amidst all these clouds, there is
q feeling struggling for official recogni-
tion that in arbitration there is way
out of all such difficulties, and that
with mutual concessions and the use of
diplomacy of a high order, some ar
rangement may be arrived at which
will give satisfaction to all concerned.
Cuba, it is asserted, all claims to the
contrary, could hardly, under any cir.
cumstances, enter the sisterhood of the
United States in this generation, and
it is not admitted here that the people
Of the United States would be willing
to declare war on Spain, in order to
bring about such an addition
to the number Of states of the union.
There remains, therefore the plan Of
giving Cuba some measure Of self
government which may lead to settle
ment Of the internal and external trou-
bles, which have ruined Cuba for the
time being, and which bid fair to drive
Spain iuto bankruptcy.
Under the circumstances, the feeling
of apparent calm mingled with anxiety
with which the vote Of the United
States house Of representative was
awaited, can readily be understood.

Gays He L Not an Active Candidate Tor
President.
WASHINGTON. April Secretary
Carlisle has written the following let
ter to the chairman of the Kentucky
Democratic state central committee on
the subject Of his candidacy for the
presid dential nomina tion at the Chicago
convention:
Your favor Of March so, in which
you say in substance that many of my
friends IN Kentucky and elsewhere de-
sire me to become candidate before
the approaching national Democratic
convention for nomination for the Office
OF president and requesting me to give
''some authorit tative or definite express
sion upon the subject, was duly re-
ceived and has been maturely con-
sidered. Many communications upon
the same subject and similar import
have been received from friends in diff
ferent parts of the country, and, while
very grateful for these numerous
Expressions of Confidence and Esteem
upon the part Of my Democratic fellow
citizens, 1 have not been able to reach
the conclusion that the existing condi-
tlons require me to comply with their
requests by authorizing them to an.
nounce me as a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. While I feel a
profound interest in the welfare of my
party, I am much more concerned
about its declaration of principles than
in its selection Of candidates, because,
in my opinion, it's failure or success at
the election, as well as its capacity for
useful service in the country in the
future, depend upon the position it
takes or omits to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention
OF the people, and especially the ques-
tions affecting the monetary system Of
the country and the character and
amount Of taxation to be imposed upon
our citizens. Its, position upon these
and other subjects having been agreed
upon and clearly and distinctly an
nounced, the convention ought to have
no difficulty in selecting
An Acceptable Candidate
who will fairly represent its views;
and, in order that it's deliberations
may be embarrassed as little as possible
by the contentious of rival aspirants
and their friends, I think my duty to
the party will be best performed by de-
clining to participate in a contest for
the nomination. The obligations as
sumed when accepted my present
official position require me to devote
my entire time and attention to the
public interests committed to my
charge, and I shall continue to dis
charge the duties imposed upon
me to the best of my ability, and if, in
the opinion Of my fellow Democrats in
Kentucky, my services entitle me to
their commentator and approval, I
would regard their Endorsement of my
public course as an ample reward for
the little have been able to accomplish
in behalf of honest administration and
a sOund financial nO]icv

HIS EXPERIENCE.
How Black Jack and Pals Held
 up Agent Temple.

Ar. Joseph Temple, the gentlemanly N. N. < \. agent st Huachuca Siding was in town today on court duty and was seen by . PRospEcroR reporter for sn account of his experience with the robbers who held him up on Saturday last.
 Mir. Teupls states that himself and anothsr employees were in the office when suddenly two men entered and without much ado ordered hands up, at the same time both men were peer ing into the barrels of two ugly look jag pistols, manufactured by MT. Colt. It is needless to say that both com piled with the request with alacrity.
 Whsreupon she dark complexiened hiEhwaymsn, presumably Black Jack acting as spokesman, volunteered the information thas they were out for the ssuf, saying: "ws do not want to rob any individual person, but are after the railroad and exprsss companies. We do net want to kill anyone. but if necessary it will not trouble us much to do it." Concluding his speech he order. d the agent to open the safe under penalty, of death and accompanied him to the iron box to see that it vas properly done.
 h the meanwhile the other em- ployss WAS being looked after by the other robber who hunted about his slothesfor . concealed weapon when he sscidsnsly found the owners purss containing soma money. The robbsr pockstsd it but whom the old gray haired employee appealed to him say ing it wss all the money he had in the world the heart of the robber was sofsened and he returned the purss without opening it.
 The money drawer Of the safe was placed on the counter and the robbsr, sc make sure nothing was held back, Investigated himself and ordered everything in tho safe. papers and all. placed on the counter. He noticed . dispoei,ion on the part of the agent to reluctantly bring things forth who was promptly told they would stand "no monkey businsss," and by the wsy the guns were fourished they meant it. The agent was ordered n separate the cheeks and papers from the cash and when finished the coin was tucked away in the robbers cspscious pockets.
 After looking about and passing jseulss remarks about things and per- sons, the robbers concluded they had got everything of value. Before Isav- ing. however, one took another last look st the safe and seeing some small packages that the agent didn't take out he put them i'd his shirt froas snd then the two employees were marched out Co where She robbers horses were tied.
 The younger robbsr had Agent Temple ia tor ssd when about half vsy the former ooooluded he vented .sns wbiskysnd asksd t Too smith's
