SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2s.-Miss
Matte Overman has taken the public
further into her confidence and with
every appearance of unconcern con-
fessed her own shame and dishonor.
On Thursday night she had declared
that several months ago she had re-
pented her attempt to ruin the man in
whose home she is now so welcome a.
guest Now she makes the startling
announcement that she was a crafty,
planning liar, until Saturday night,
when she determined to tell the truth
and for the first time explained to the
Rev. DIR. Brown the full meaning OF
the letters she wrote to Mrs. Tunnel
rejecting On DR.. Browns morality
Miss OVerman was too i'll to continue
her testimony last night and she was
excused until next Tuesday. While
her absence at the evening session was
q. disappointment to many, the session
was not altogether without dramatic
incident AT one stage Of the proceed
ings the audience were aroused to such
a. pitch of Indignation that it shouted
shame to the accused pastor for his
method of cross-exanining. At an
other it applauded him so vigorously
and persistently that the council cham
Der was cleared and the ecclesiastical
court retired to deliberate in private.
Captain W. r. Cook testified that in
the Howard bible class. in what used
to be the pastors study, but Is now the
pastors office, he was introduced by
DR.. Brown to Miss OVerman as his
niece. DR.. Brown attacked the witness
fiercely on cross-examination. He re-
ferred to a prior misunderstanding be-
tween Cook and himself The captain
laughingly admitted it and said:
''Oh, it was before that didn't quite
fancy you"
He also admitted that If he had had
his say Brown would have had an
other charge several years ago. DR..
Brown wanted to know where Cook
got the title captain, and asserted that
1t was borrowed plumage. The coun-
eli interfered to protect the witness.
Don't you know that I have had
suc,l an opinion of you for two years
that would not introduce lady to
you?" queried Pastor Brown, shaking
his pencil menacingly in Captain Cooks
face.
DR.. MCLEAN reprimanded the cross
examiner.
do you think I would tell a lie in
the presence Of my wife?'' Numbered
DR.. Brown.
Wei, from what I know of you
should think you would. yes replied
Captain Cook calmly.
One of the most important bits Of tes-
timony Of the whole council, consider
ed enthusiastically, came next. Deacon
Barnard testified that twice after Mrs.
Davidson received the $500 Dr.. Brown
called upon her to lead the flock in
prayer. Deacon Dexter gave the same
testimony

resolution in that case would be passed
over his veto. But, by making the res
olution a simple concurrent one. the
president will be relieved of the neces-
sity Of announcing a. decision at this
time. He regards the resolution as q
simple expression of the sentiment or
congress, and as not binding upon the
executive branch as would be the case
with a joint resolution, which mas All
the forces of an act 1t would be in ef-
feet but a repetition Of the history OF
THE ARMENIAN RESOLUTION.
In that case the senate passed reso-
luton suggesting that our government
through the executive branch, take ac-
ton in Europe. which action was total
ly inconsistent with the sound Amer1-
can policy Of non-interference in the al
fairs of that continent. AS 1T was con-
current resolution, the president was
not required either to approve or ois-
approve of it, and as it had not the
force of law, he was not obilgeo 10 act
in accordance with the suggestion OF
congress. AS a matter OF fact ne alo
not so act, and the resolution remains
in the department of state, absolutely
ineffective. The dependency OF the
Cuban resolution has caused some
members of the administration VINO are
taking long look ahead, as far ahead
indeed as that point where there may
be a deliberate proposition from con-
gress to declare war-which Senator
Morgan has said must follow the en-
actment of the pending resolutions
and they are now discussing the ques-
ton as to the relative powers of con-
gress and the president dn that matter.
1t appears that much may turn on
the construction to be placed by the
senate Judiciary committee on the
question now before it as to the proper
scope of joint concurrent resolutions.
One express provision of the constitu-
ton says that congress shall have
power ''to declare war.
This would seem to carry the idea
that this may be done by a concurrent
resolution, as 1t is a power entirely re-
served to congress; but, on the other
hand. another paragraph of the consti-
tuition seems to require the presidents
approval to any joint action to con
gress save adjournment. The appar-
ent constitutional conflict on this point
is engaging the most attention of adj
nninistratiOn peouIe

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-One of the
liveliest three-round exhibition bouts
ever seen in this city was given in
Madison Square garden tonight by
Bob Fitzsimmons and Peter Maher. 1t
was truly a friendly contest. F'ttzsim-
mons was the first to appear, Maher
following few minutes later. Both
were loudly cheered and Fitzsimmons
was presented with several floral
pieces. There were about $500 people
present. Before the attraction of the
evening was put on, Maher complained
of his eyes and said they were still
sore. When the men jumped into the
ring Fitzsimmons went over to Maher' s
corner and grasped the Irishnan's
hand warmly The three rounds did
not last more than three minutes, but
many stiff punches were exchanged
and both men appeared very active.
The preliminary bouts were tame.

The great test of holiness In the eyes

THE TYRANNY OF TEMPER.

Love is not easily provoked" We are
inclined to look upon bad temper as a
as a mere infrmity of nature, a family
failing, a matter Of temperament, not a
thing to take into very serious account
in estimating a mans character. The Pc
vice of the virtuous- It is often the one
blot on an otherwise noble character. You
know men who are all but perfect. and
women who would be entirely perfect,
but for an easily ruffled, quick tempered
or 'touchy" disposition.
This compatibility of i'll temper with
high moral character is one of the sad
dest problems of ethics. The truth is.
there are two great classes Of sins-sinS
of the body and sins of the disposition.

Of the first. the elder brother of the sec

ever as to which OF these is the gorst. Its

The Cabinets Attitude.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-It is under
stood that the probable action of con-
gress in respect to the Cuban resolu-
lions pending in both houses absorbed
the attention Of yesterdays cabinet
meeting. In view of the position taken
heretofore by the president and secre-
tary of state, and which there is no
reason to suppose they have aban-
doned toward the proposition to recog-
nize the belligerency of the insurgents,
the decision of the senate committee on
foreign relations to express the E5enti-
ments and wishes of congress in the
form Of a concurrent resolution instead
of shaping it as a joint resolution, has
given much qualification to the admin
istration. If the president were to be
confronted with q joint resolution at
this time, recognizing the belligerency
of the insurgents and even the indepen-
dence Of the rebels. he would be placed
in very disagreeable position. If he
approved the resolution it would
BE A CONFESSION
that the course pursued by our govern
ment toward Cuba and Spain UP to this
time had been wrong, for it is insisted
that there has been no change in the
relations of the parties to the warfare
in Cuba that would warrant any
change in our attitude.
1t also would amount to reversal of
the position taken by our state depart
ment in defiance of some of the great
European powers during the Brazilian
insurrection, when we insisted as pre-
oedent to recognition the insurgents
must have a seat Of government, must
issue money and must have navy, for
at least two Of these requisites are
lacking in the case of the present in
surrection.
On the other hand, tf he vetoed a
joint resolution of this character, the
president would be obliged probably to
face storm of popular disapproval and
to make an issue with congress that
might Cbe fraught with the gravesti con-
sequences. for 1t Is realized that the

uation.
MADRID, Feb. 29.-The Impartial, re-
ferring to the action of the United
States regarding Cuba, says the interna-
tiona1 situation is very grave and that
the recognition of Cubans as belligerents
by the United States involves danger of
conflict. The Impartial also accuses the
Spanish minister, Senior Conovas del Cas-
tello. Of excess of patience before Yam
kee pride" Spain" continues the I'M
parcial, must prepare for every event
ualfty. Our maritime resources are not
great, but we have not before us 81
gantic naval power. Our humility has
been badly construed and our enemy, in
stead of being dppedSed, thinks she could
treat Spain as she could Turkey. A firm
and resolute attitude would have gained
us more consideration, for we are not so
weak as to render our hostility Indifferent
to a trading people which have no war
like qualities. Moreover, Spain is not iso-
lated in Europe"
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Westminster
Gazette says: ct is difficult to think of
Spain knuckling down even to the United
States, especially at a time when she has
just defied the American feeling by ap-
pointing q man with such Reputation for
severity as General Weyler to the cap
tain generalship of Cuba; The probabll-
tiles point to President Cleveland adopt
ing a middle course and issuing a
friendly warning to Spain, which will
servo to take the wind out of the jingoes'
sails and at the same time convince
Spain that the United States has real in
terests in Cuba and cannot refuse recog-
milton of the rebels If an amelioration of
the condition of the island does not
promptly occur. If President Cleveland
is inclined to go further, he might press
home rule on Spain, offering, may be, to
guarantee the promises to the Cubans."
The Globe says: The senators resolu-
ton is another gigantic enlargement of
the Monroe doctrine, and should the
house of representatives endorse the SEN
ate and President Cleveland yield to the
pressure, Spain viii be brought face to
face with abject. submission or war with
q, somewhat stronger power. Should the
proud and sensitive Spanish nation prefer
fhe latter sooner than to deface its
honor, International sympathies will be
on its side"
