The Senate will take Mr.. Olney TO task
after the holidays for his declaration in
regard to acknowledging the indcpentl.
ence of Cuba. The Senate is very jealous
of any encroachment on its rights by the
executive branch of the Government, and
as Mr.. Cleveland has made several marked
movements in tnnt direction during his
present term, members of that body will
be sure to let the President and the coun-
try know their views on this subject as
soon as the Christmas recess is over.
Senator Vest was expected to begin the
fight before the adjournmen t.for recess,
and his failure to do so leads to the cx-
pectation that he is reserving his fire for

ARCATA'S HOSPITALITY.

ARCATA, CAL, Sept. 9.-For weeks the
Native Sons, in connection with the
wheelmen, have been preparing for their
Admission day celebration here The
town, picturesque in itself, was made
more attractive by profuse decorations.
Sequoia boughs, intermingling with tas-
tiiy arranged bunting and streamers,
enlivened everything.
As soon as the excursion train, loaded
with Native Sons and their friends from
all parts of Humboldt County, arrived
this morning parade was formed. Every
parlor in the district was largely repre-
sented. Such an Admission day turnout
has not been seen here for years. The
Humboldt wheelmen and the Arcata Cy-

FETE AT WEAVERVILLE.
Californla's Natal Day Observed in
the Picturesque Mountain
Town.

WEAVERVILLE, CAL, Sept. 9.-The
picturesque and typical California noun
tain town, ringed around by barriers OF
the snow-capped Salmons and the tall
Trinities, did ample justice TO Admission
day. The lbcust-lined streets lent a har-
monious background to the brilliant ban
ners and unlimited yards of bunting that
had been strung; for when Wesverville
undertakes to do thing she does 1t in
good shape.
in the street parade there were three
floats that attracted unlimited attention
the first, group of California maidens
representing the Native Daughters OF the
Golden West; the second, log cabin,
whose truthfulness of design appealed to
the memory of all the old settlers, and
the third, the shield of California, symbol
lied by Miss Nellie Condor. the prettiest
girl IN Northern California.
AT the close of the parade the spectators
gathered around the bandstand In the
plaza, where they were entertained with
literary exercises and music. John Nc
Murry presided as chairman, while P. M.
Pausen, the mining magnate and pioneer
hoteI-keeper of Trinity County, acted as
grand marshal.
The programme opened with a song
from choir, after which Miss ONeil de-
llVered an address, dropping into poetry
at the finish. Music by the WeavervilIe
band followed. d. ]. Hall delivered an
eloquent speech. Judge L. Z. Jones ad-
dressed the gathering and Miss Ella Nc
Murray followed with thrilling poem,
The Ghosts of the Pioneers"
The town was filled with mountaineers,
and the sound of their merriment mingled
with the thunder OF the hydraulic giants
at play around the town.
