Young burglars.

Detective Lacy and Precinct Detective
Barnes of the second precinct have sue
ceeded in discovering the robbers of the
show cases in front of the Boston Variety
Store several days ago, when a quantity
OF valuab BILE articles were stolen, and Ar
thur Washington and Frank Moore will
probably be among those who will have
to answer for the theft. These young col
red men are already in custody and are
in Jail serving time for petit larceny as
we'll as waiting for the grand jury to indict
them in a case Of burglary. They We're ar
rested last week and given hearing, and
since then the officers have recovered a
quantity of the stolen property where one
and perhaps both of them had put 1t away
Washington has confessed his guilt. In
addition to the robbery mentioned the Off
GERS have recovered goods the proceeds OF
robbery on 7th street some time ago, and
they think that when the investigation is
ended there will be several charges of
burglary preferred against them.

GENERAL CURTIS TALKS
Opposed to an Extra Session of the Fifty
Fifth Congress.
Thinks Revenue Bill Can BE Passed
This Winter-COnservatlv View
of the Cuban Question.

General N. NJ. Curtis, the hero of Fort
Fisher" who represents the second New
York district in the House of Representa-
tives, is strongly opposed to an extra ses-
sion of the Fifty-fifth Congress.
There may be nothing done at this ses-
sion beyond the passage of appropriation
Lills,' he said. but. in my judgment, there
ought to be provisions made for more rev.
enue at once. 1 do not know what will be
decided on but l do know that a revenue
Dill can be passed, Notwithstanding the at
ttude of the silver Senators. and it ought
to be done. The law could be put on the
statute books before the middle of Janu-
ary.'
Would this interfere with the passage of
tariff bill by the next Congress?" was
asked.
Not at ALL The republicans could go on
and prepare good bill and pass it at the
next Congress- taking their time about it
and doing 1t right. l am opposed to an
extra session of the next Congress. If 1t is
understood that there is to be an extra ses-
sion 1t will disturb business all this winter
and all next summer. That is a thing to
be avoided. We can and should provide
revenue at the coming session.
The Cuban Question.
General Curtis takes a very conservative
view of the Cuban question. II do not
think" he said. that anything will be
dcne calculated to provoke hostiities be-
tween this country and Spain. I have 10
doubt that Cuba is going to be free, but
there is nothing for this country to do un-
der existing circumstances. Nothing we
could do would help Cuba. unless we had
war with Spain. and nothing has yet hap
pened to provoke war
Il do not see how we can interfere with
the mode of warfare practiced in Cuba.
Everybody knows that war is cruel and
often barbaric. Neither the Spanish nor
the Cubans are of the race that make war
with that calmness and regard for human
ty which Is peculiar to the more northern
people. We cannot change their nature.
think the Cubans will fight cut their own
salvation and will be free but l do not
think either the President or Congress " i'll
do anything further in the matter as long
as conditions remain they are. 1 have
no Information as to the intention of Mr.
Cleveland as regards his message 10 Con-
gress. but 1t seems improbable that he will
indicate any change of policy on the part
OF the administration"

surrendered to the authorities, and Stated
that the Morgans brought on the difficulty,
and that he and his sons fired In self-de-
