MILLS CUBAN PLAN,
How He Would Render Aid
to the Islanders
THE SENATORS SPEECH,
Fayors Armed InteVention-A Law
of Protection.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The dis
placement of the Cuban resolutions
no apparent effect in diminishing the
attendance in the senate galleries to-
day as IL was expected that Mills res
olutions, proposing to use the army
and navy in taking possession of Cuba
and holding it until the people had
established "a local self-government,
would occasion further debate.
A bill was passed amending the law
prescribing the death penalty for In
dians convicted Of rape, and leaving
the punishment discretionary with
the court.
Resolutions offered by Hoar were
adopted requesting the president to
transmit to the senate all dispatches,
correspondence, etc, from November
5, 1875, to 1878, concerning the paciii-
cation of the pending conflict in Cuba.
Mills was recognized at this point
in support of the Cuban resolution
introduced by him yesterday. He said
the resolutions heretofore before the
senate were steps in the right direc-
tion, hut very short steps. The peo-
pie of Cuba had far greater claims on
the United States than the mere rec
ognltion of belligerency. II Ireland
struck for liberty today, the hearts Of
the American people would beat in
sympathy, and it would be so If
Poland or Hungary asserted the right
OF liberty. But the United States had
much closer relations to Cuba than TO
Ireland and Poland or Hungary, for it
was a part of the western hemisphere,
over which the Monroe doctrine was a
law Of protection, and as such God
was the author Of II. 1t was the same
right Of self-protection which the in
diyidual exercises in abating a nuis-
ance or destroying powder-house
near his premises.

PACIFIC RAILWAYS.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The house
committee on Pacific railways yester-
day gave hearing 10 General Bar
ham of California, in reply to Stubs,
the general track manager of the Gen.
tral Pacific. General Braham read
newspaper extracts bearing on the
subject, which, he said, showed that
the people Of California were not
unanimous upon the question Of re-
funding. He quoted the opinion OF
the encouragement TO the effect
that the statue OF limitations ran
against the government as against
other creditors. This, he said, was
not the issue. The United States was
not barred, and he cited the supreme
court decisions on the question. The
government, he claimed, could enforce
the original liability of stockholders
without proceeding through the com.
pany. In conclusion he expressed the
belief that the question should be
settled by the courts aud not by con-
gress,

THE BUTTER DRIER.

A new invention now threatens to
supplant the butter-worker-the but
ter-drier, which rids the granules of
water without rolling or bruising them.
In a recent issue of a London paper,
Professor Sheldon goes on record quite
stoutly against the practice Of working
butter, and commends warmly the
work of the Bradford drier and molder.
In the use of this invention the butter
Is churned as usual, washed in the
granular state, and then "brined." AZ
ter remaining in the brine half an hour,
the granular butter Is ladled out and
put in muslin lined tin molds Of any
desirable size-for pounds, half-pounds
or other weight packages. The filled
molds are then placed around the inner
periphery Of wheel that is revolving
ut high speed, and the centrifugal mo
ton drives out the water In the form OF
spray and also packs the butter In the
mold without injury to the grain, so
that In two minutes time the dried anu
nodded butter is ready for the wrapper
or package. The butter is perfectly
granular, and breaks freely on slight
pressure, being somewhat crumbly ana
on that account possessing-so 1t is
claimed--an aroma and flavor that can
not be retained under the crushing OF
the rollers of the butter-worker.-

the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual die.
ease, but simply to constipated condi.
ton of the system, which tho pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
" removes. That Ia why It is the only
remedy with millions Of families, ard e
everywhere esteemed 30 highly by 81!
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that It Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the

all important, in order to get its bene.
fetal effects, to note when you prr.

which is manufactured by the California

If in the enjoyment Of good health
and the system is regular. then laxsr

But some folks are born to trouble

But some folks are born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward, and I am one
of them about these times. The old
COW wanted grass, and it has all dried
up, and so she broke into my potato
patch and eat of al the vines; and
the Colorado beetles got into another
patch and Just cleaned up all tho leaves
before I found it out; and the dog
scratched bed between the madeira
vines and the wall of the veranda, and
it hasent rained enough in nine weeks
to run in the road. and my garden has
dried up, and the city fathers won't
let me irrigate any more because water
is getting scarce. The penalty is $50
fine, but the mayor told me confiden-
TALLY that might irriRate on tho sly,
but musent be caught at it. Like
the negro preacher told his congrega-
ton that they must never be cotched
stealing chickens. So. now when I
steal water I do it darkly, at dead of
night. with one eye on the hose and
the other on Sandy Wikle, the water
man.
But my comfort now is IN nursing
and amusing our little grandchild.
Her mother has gone of on fishing
excursion for few days to recuperate
her health, and she gave me the child.
I say gave her to me because she loves
me better than anybody, and that
makes her grandma jealous and fattera
my vanity, and satisfies me that am
neither old nor ugly, nor ID my voice
broken nor q melancholy crack in my
laugh. In fact, can still sing "Hush,
Ny Dear" and "Julianna johnson"
with sufficient melody to put the little
darling to sleep. I can answer that
old song. "What Can an Old Man Do
But Die?" by saying that he can take
care of the grandchildren while the
mother has gone a-fishing. BILL ARP.
