CAPTAIN-GENERAL WEYLER, under
the influence OF public opinion in this
country or the promptings of his better
nature, shows disposition to
soften the severity of the proclama-
ton which he issued soon after his ar
rival in Cuba. The treatment Of rebel
prisoners has been materially modified,
while he at the same time apparently
aims to prevent any rash action of his
people against American citizens or
their government.

ALMOST FROZEN TO DEATH.
Timely Notice to the Police Saved Z
WOman'S Life.
The STRANGE STORY She TOLD.
Claimed to Have Been waylaid and AS
saulted by Three Men Whose Names
She Gave to the Police, But Would
Not Allow Prosecution.

At about ~ o'clock last night, as Police
man Foltz was patrolling his beat on West
Coal street, Pole notified the officer that a
woman was lying dead on the roadway near
the Schuylkill Traction Company's bridge,
which spans the Lehigh Valley railroad at
the western outskirts of the town Foltz
summoned Lee and the two officers went to
the place indicated, where they found a
woman almost frozen to death. Her cloth
ing was thrown over her head, her shoes
were partly Off and some of her garments
were found strewn along the road for dis
tance of a hundred yards.
The policemen carried the woman into the
engine house of the Kohinoor colliery and
she revived sufficiently to give her name,
She said she was Mrs. Leueis Jones, OF
Brownsville. 1t was evident that she had
been drinking and she admitted it, She
also stated that three young men had as
sauted her and gave their names, but subse
quently refused to make any formal com
plant by which the police could make ar
rests.
Chief of Police Tosh was summoned anj
he secured a sleigh and team of horses by
which the woman was taken to the Council
Chamber. The woman's husband was alsC
summoned and she was taken home at about
one o'clock this morning. The police say
that had relief been postponed but few
minutes the woman would have undoubtedly
been frozen to death Mrs. Jones is about 30
years Of age and has a family.

HILL VERSUS SHERMAN !
The New York Senator Opposes the
Cubah Resolutions.
THE OHIO SENATOR DETERMINED
He Insists That he Will Press For Vote
on the Resolutions at the Earliest
Possible Moment and Reiterates
His Charge of "Butchery."

! WAsHGNGToN March 13.-Senators Sher-
man and Hill were the conspicuous fig
ures in the Cuban debate in the senate
yesterday, the New York senator forcibly
urging the mercenary character of the
pending resolutions, while Mr.. Sherman
upheld them with another graphic arraign-
ment of Spain and General Weyler. 1t
was the fourth day of the debate on the
conference report, and yet there was no
evidence of near approach to final vote,
although Mr. Sherman announced that he
would press for u vote at the earliest mo-
ment. The galleries continue to be greatly
crowded.
Mr.. Hills opposition to the resolutions
was confined to that feature which ex-
pressed the purpose of the United States
to intervene to protect the legitimate in
terests of the United States This, the
senator declared, was an ignoble and con-
temptible attitude making our CONNER
cial and money interests the basis for in
terventton in a great cause for freedom
and humanity. Mr.. Hill contemptuously
read from kilograms from New York mer-
chants urging that business would be hurt
| by Spanish boycott of Ameritan goods
If congress went on. The senator declared
this was placing the cause of human
liberty and patriotism on n very low plane,
and he urged that the resolutions be de-
| feated in order that they mi ght be amended
and the mercenary features eliminated
Mr.. Shermans speech was mainly re
assertion of the views he presented when
the senate resolutions were adopted He
declared that war in Cuba was fragrant,
and the evidences of it abundant He in
sisted on his characterization of General
| Weyler as tho butcher" but conceded
| that the Spanish minister, Senior Dupuy
| de LONE, had the full right and the duty
of controverting and explaining the state
ment, either in or out of the state depart
ment. In the course of his speech Mr.
Sherman paid glowing tribute to the pa
triotism and fidelity of President Cleve-
land and his readiness to uphold the
country's flag.
The latter part of the day was given to
the Dupont contest, Mr.. Pritchard, of
North Carolina, arguing in support of the
| claimant
The house, after passing some bills of
minor Importance, entered upon the con-
sideration of the Aldrich- Robbins con-
| tested election case from the Fifth Ala
bama district, with the understanding
that three and half hours debate should
be had on each side. Considerable partisan
rancor was thrown into the debate Mr.
Moody of Massachusetts, and Mr.. Linney
of North Carolina, both Republicans, were
especially bitter in their denunciation of
Democratic election methods in the south.

THE KENTUCKY CONTEST
Republicans Now Claim That Iney WI
Elect 81. John BoYle.


FRANKFORT Ky, March 13-The one
thing that seemed to be settled by yester-
days doings in the joint assembly is that
kentucky will have but one representa-
tive in the United States senate from
March 4, 1897, when Senator Blackburn's
term expires, until at least January, 1898,
when the next legislature can meet and
fill che vacancy.
There was no lack of apprehension of
renewed danger of an outbreak. Mayor
Julian, with force Of police, cleared the
rotunda of mere curiosity hunters, but in
the cloak rooms and elsewhere wur
enough men to have done much harm if
the occasion had arisen. Perhaps the ap-
prehension of difficulty tended to produce
unusual self restraint, and so the scene
ended without other turmoil than that of
debate
The newly installed Republican in the
house did not qualify before the joint as
sembly met, and so was not factor The
Republicans adopted the tactics of break
ing the quorum, and thus brought from
Lieutenant Governor Worthington the
ruling that seventy members constitute d
quorum necessary to elect senator. So
long as this ruling stands no election can
1922 ~ VI Dto"NlLB = oNcl parry lliiS9'
In discussing this ruling a prominent
Republican leader said last night:
"St. John Boyle will be elected United
States senator. This will certainly be done
before the Legislature adiourns, and it
may be done tomorrow. Senators Sher-
man and Hoar and Speaker Reed have
wired Mr.. Boyle that since the death Of
Weissingen siXty-nine members cOnsti-
tute quorum. The joint assembly may
pass on the right of the expelled senators,
James and Walton, to have their votes re-
corded, yet it has no right to do So The
United States senate is the only tribunal
vested with that power"
