Bright loose sales to-day were quite
large at both Planters and Stonewall

throughout the breaks, and every grade

good proportion OF shippers and good
smokers were in breaks at both houses.
Highest price of the day, $40 0or wrap

and Si02J highest price.
Sales for week. lS7. $40 pounds; highest

To-day's sales OF dark were decidedly
the largest thus far this season, and
commanded the full attention OF all our
buyers. who followed sales closely, and
bid freely on all grades. The dark crop
is ar unusually good one, and will no
doubt attract many orders from out-of-
town factories. Prices are fully strong
on all grades. Quality good, selling al
most every day up TO $40, while the

ANOTHER CUBAN RESOLUTION.
Morgan Qastes Some Facts About the Last
Revolution,

Morgan Quotes Some facts About tho Last
Revelation.
WASHINGTON, Feb .5-During the sec
ton of his speech on Cuba which Morgan
gave the senate yesterday he said the
atrocities Of the Spanish forces in con-
trolling the Cubans were almost without
parallel in history. In the last war not
only had Is OOe Cubans been killed in bat
tie, but 44,O00 prisoners had been put to
death. Upon Frye inquiring ii this state
ment was historical Morgan replied that
1t was history, deliberately written by q
Spaniard, appearing in the American en-
syclopedia under the title Cuba.
White of California offered substitute
for the pending resolution as follows:
''That the senate contemplates with solicit
tude and profound regret the sufferings
and destruction accompanying the civil
conflict now in progress in Cuba While
the United States have not interfered, and
will not-unless their vital interests SO de-
mand-interfere with existing colonies
snd dependencies of any European gov
,srnment ON this hemisphere nevertheless
our people have never disguised and do
not now conceal their sympathy for all
those who struggle patriOtically as do the
Cubans now IN revolt to exercise, MAIN
tain and preserve the right Of self-g0vern-
ment. - -s-s
Nor can We ignore our exceptional and
close relations to Cuba by reason of geo.
graphical proximity and our consequent
grave interest in all questions affecting
the control or well-being of that island.
We ardently hope that the executive de-
partment, to whose investigation and
care our diplomatic relations have been
committed, will at an early date find the
facts to be such as to warrent the recogni-
ton Of the belligerency of those who are
| maintaining themselves in Cuba in armed
| opposition to Spain, and that the infiu-
| ence and offices Of the United States may
be prudently, peacefully and effectively
exerted to the end that Cuba may DO en-
abled to establish permanent govern
ment of her own choice"

TALK ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Walsh Doubts LintOn's Patriotism-Sher-
man OF New York Appeals i'm Vain.
Mr.. Walsh Of New York replied with
some warmth. He did not, he said, credit
some gentlemen on the other side with
the nigh patriotic motives they ascribed
to themselves. This blow was aimed at
the Roman Catholic church. He was q
Roman Catholic, and as good an Ameri.
can citizen as any member on the floor.
(Applause. He assured the house, how.
ever. that If the appropriation for these
schools were entirely withdrawn the chill
dren would he taken care of. The Roman
Catholic church had never undertaken o
great mission without carrying it out.
Sherman CRep) OF New York, chair
man Of the Indian committee, tried in
vain to stem the tide that was evidently
He reviewed the history of these appro-
priations. They had, he recalled, origi-
mated. not with the churches They had
not asked for the appropriation. The
proposition had emanated from General
Grant in 1871. and the policy then entered
upon had been continued until two years
ago. Different sects had been encouraged
to undertake this work. 1t SO happened
that the Roman Catholic church had been
most active. aud something like 81 500 :
OOo had gone to Roman Catholic schools.
1t had been deemed wise to change this
policy. but the change should not be made
in a minute. The church had been en-
Outraged for quarter Of century. It
was fur neither to the church nor the
children to withhold the appropriation
without warning.
II am not a Catholic" said Sherman;
''neither am like my friend from Ohio
lGrosvenorl, who Is not a member of any
church. l am Protestant, but do not
believe any church alone points the way
to heaven, although do believe that any
creed Is better than no creed" Zap
plause.] This appropriation, he conclud-
ed, was not used TO teach the dusky wards
Of the nation the catechism, but how to
read and write and count, and he appealed
to tho members to 'arise above partisan
ship and above sect and sustain the COM
mittee. He then made point Of order
against tho Linton amendment, which
was overrulcd BY Payne, in the chair,
amid considerable enthusiasm.
The amendment was then carried. The
Democrats voted almost solidly against it,
while the Republicans were divided. ~he
announcement Of the result was met with
O storm Of approval from the galleries,
which seemed in sympathy with the ma-
jority ON the floor.
The public sentiment In the Cuba ques-
ton was shown by the crowds which came
to the senate galleries in anticipation Of
o continuance Of the Cuban debate: The
diplomatic gallery showed the largest rep
rosentation since the session opened, tho
ministers Of Brazil, Chilli. Hawaii and sew
eral other countries being present. Nor
