EULOGIZES SHERMAN.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Cuban
debate in the Senate has advanced to
the stage of one of the great debates
of the American Congress, and the
speech yesterday of Senator Hoar was
another eventful feature of the discus
sion.
In this debate the Senators and the
crowded galleries are kept at high ten
sion by such stirring themes as war
and patriotism and liberty. Mr.. Hoar's
speech was nots BILE in setting forth
the conservative view of the subject,
and reing a postponement of action
until April g. This developed many
sharp controversies with Mr.. Sherman
and other Senators. In the main, the
speech was plea for calm, dignifed
and judicial action instead of the ex-
element and disorder of the mob and
the impassioned speech of orators
Mr.. Hoar characterized his colleague,
Mr.. Sherman, as one of the great
statesmen of the country, whose name
would go down in history along with
that of Lincoln, Grant, Seward, Fish
and his illustrious brother, and he be-
sought the Ohio Senator not to oblit-
crate this brilliant record by hasty
and unguarded action on the Cuban
question.
Mr.. Hoar did not confne himself to
Cuba, but spoke against congressional
meddling in any foreign negotiation
In this connection he paid a glowing
tribute to Secretary Oluey. and while
differing with him politically, Mr..
Hoar said the secretary of state was a
clearheaded, old-fashioned Massa-
chusetts Yankee, who could be safely
trusted with our foreign negotiations.
The senator added like tribute to
the sincerity of President Cleveland in
dealing with the Venezuelan question,
and declared that any action by Con-
gsess attacking the Presidents course
would be an attack on America.
Mr.. Hoar's resolution for postpone
ment lost it's parliamentary status at
2 o'clock, and went to the calendar,
Mr.. Sherman announcing that. from
this time forward, he would press the
privileged questionable conference
report accepting the house Cuban
resolutions

END OF THE SPY SYSTEM"

Postal Appropriation Bill Passed Pro-
vidss no Funds for 1t.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The House
passed the postoffice appropriation
bill, which has been under considera-
ton since last Friday. The feature of
the debate was the attack on the
'tspy system" in connection with let
ter carriers. The salaries of the
special inspectors have been paid
under the current law out of fund
at the disposal of the first assistant
postmaster general. This fund was
cut off by the present bill, but pro-
vision was made for the employment
of thirty additional regular inspectors
under the fourth assistant postmaster
general, increasing the appropriation
from SIG. 900 to S212, 900. Mr.. Quigg
of New York, led the fight against
this increase and after a prOtracted
debate his amendment to reduce the
appropriation to s176, 900 prevailed. 10
to 81.

Hearing of Advocates and Opponents of
God in the Constitution.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Speeches
were listened to yesterday by the
House judiciary committee from large
delegations of clergymen and others
who advocate and antagonize the bill
introduced by Representative Morse of
Massachusetts, to place the name of
God in the constitution of the United
States. The meeting was somewhat
novel in its character, majority of
the spectators being women. An
American flag was brought into the
committee room by the opponents of
the bill, in which was tied a great
bundle of protests and remonstrances
forwarded by various organizations.
Each faction was given an hour to
present its side of the question. Con-
siderable feeling was manifested by
the partisans on both sides of the
question, and Kisses and cheers fre-
quently interrupted the speakers.

The BIN Passes the Senate by an Over
whelming Majority.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 12.-At $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon the SEN
ate passed the greater New York bill
by vote of 80 ayes to nays. .
The explanations of members when
voting were quite interesting. When
Senator Higgins name was called on
the bill, he rose for the purpose of ex-
planning his vote. He said: "One
year ago I voted for consolidation, but
since that time my sentiments have
changed entirely. The bill does moth
ing but create great trust; do not
believe that the bill is in the interest
of good government What the peo-
pie want Is better cities, not greater
cities. and, without further explana-
ton, shall vote in the negative"
Senator MaIby, in explaining his
vote, said: II do not think the sue
cessful government of city of 3.000,-
600 people can be accomplished. L
have tried by my vote to help the
Brooklyn delegation to secure proper
and just terms, but that has been inn
possible, and as long as they are in
favor of some kind of consolidation,
I will vote with the majority
for this bill. While personally I
do not think it Is good thing
for the Repu blican party, nevertheless
it is the decision of the majority, and
L will abide by it. You are creating
normal Democratic plurality below
the Harlem, and the Republican party
will never again control any part of
the municipality. 1 think the Repub-
Hcan party is committing the greatest
political blunder of the century.
However, as l said before, will vote
with the ma jority."

British Have No Case.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Chronicle
has a second long article, following up
its critical examination of the con.
tents of the Venezuelan blue book.
The Chronicle contends that the very
documents which are quoted to sup
port the British case disprove the
British claim based on the Dutch pos
sessions and occupation in the eight
eenth century. 1t fears that the entire
case is vitiated by the assuD1p tion that
rowing descents by the Dutch on the
coast and inland rivers for slave trade
purposes constitute an effective occu-
patton.

There's another new invention
Which these scientific crimps
Discovered, just to help along
Old satan and his imps.
It is worse than all the others
They have brought out in our day.
And the name Of this new demon
Is the cathode ray.
With this newfang1ed lightning
They can look man right through
And can see what he is thinking,
Tell you what he wants to do,
Count the money in his pocket,
Then with laughter they will bray
When they only find nickel
With their cathode ray.
Just suppose you have dollar
And you start out for feed,
But you meet that bill collector
Who is won't with you to plead;
You have stood him off SO often
That you think twill be but play
But the fellow finds that dollar
With his cathode ray
From the streets the gossips watch you
When your house is in a whirl,
And your wife through three partitions
Sees you kiss the hired girl.
She in anger chides you for it,
Then you get gun and pray
For a shot at the inventor
OF that cathode ray.
