"White Hat" Mccarthy is here at Stock
ton from his visit to his starving horses at

show to thrash him.
Prince Pionatowski and the princess are

mented ON 1t as he went along. The state.
ment said the insurgents had no fixed
place or organization, being driven from
place to place. The senator asked what
permanent place our continental congress
held during the revolution. 1t was driven
about, and when the British burned WASH
ington in 1914 the members of our con-
gress were refugees in Virginia, and yet
this Spanish minister raised the point that
the struggling people must have a perma-
nent capital. As matter of fact, the SEN
ator insisted, the insurgents had a capital.
as shown by reports from newspaper cor
respondents.
Mr.. Hale INTERRUPTED to ask If Mr..
Morgan really credited the correspondents
who claimed to have located this nebulous
insurgent capital.
II supposed" responded Mr.. Morgan
warmly, that was here to address the
senate, but find am here as a sort of a
child in kindergarten, to submit to the
qliestionings OF senator from Maine
(Hale).
ut is not my fault" proceeded Mr.. Hale,
"that the senator Is put in the position of
q school child in kindergarten"
Here Mr.. Morgan appealed to the chair
and declared if Mr.. Hale continued his in.
terrupt!ons he (Mr. Morgan) would call
him to order.
Mr.. Chandler added to what Mr.. Morgan
.sAs'~A 1sAA 90 W tAo iHouieOhe CoPtV0is thoe ~
had an actual existence and that the
Spanish troops had not been able to take
it.
"No." said Mr.. Morgan, "Gomez and
Maceo have come nearer taking Havana
than the Spanish troops have to taking the
insllrgent capital"
"Mr. Morgan went on to read from the
Spanish minister's statement. detailing the
Cuban methods of fighting, their failure to
come out for an open fight and the the
atrical effect of their movements.
Mr.. Morgan referred to the grim tragedy
beneath the stheatrical effect" mentioned
by the minister. When the senator read
the minister's criticism of the insurgent
methods of burning cane fields, he added
it was a recognized right of war to destroy
property in order to cripple the enemy.
ut was done on both sides during our
civil war;" said Mr.. Sherman.
After completing the Spanish minister's g
statement, Mr.. Morgan pointed out that
MIR. Hale's recent speech in defense of
Spain was based ON q statement of Pre-
mier Castillo of Spain, which statement,
Mr.. Morgan alleged, had now been repu-
dated by the Spanish premier. The sena-
tor added that it was clear Mr.. Hale had
no sympathy for the Cuban negroes, and,
doubtless he would not care to see the ne
groes of the United States free if they did
not vote the Republican ticket.
At this point Mr.. Morgan yielded, not
having completed his remarks, and at 4 80
the senate adjourned.

IN THE COMMONS
The English Advance Will Be Limited to
Aknshes

The English Advance Will Be Limited to
Aknshes
LONDON, March 16.-The greatest possi-
BILE care was manifested in the house of
commons today, when the Liberal leader,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, put the
question to the government regarding the
proposed advance of British Egyptian
troops up the Nile from Wady Halfa.
The reply of the under secretary of state
of foreign affairs, George N. Curzon, was q
carefully prepared statement in which he
pointed out the threatening Dervish ad-
vances and their danger 10 Egypt.
At this present moment, he said, infiu-
ences are at work and forces are unclaimed
in Central Africa which, If flushed with
victory, and swollen by perfectly pOssi-
Bile combination of events, would consti-
tute most serious danger, not merely to
I,aly, Egypt, or British occupation of
Egypt. but to the cause af Europe, which is
the cause of civilization.
Sir William Harcourt, the opposition
leader, warned the government that any
attempt to reoccupy the Soudan would be
strenuously resisted. The opposition. how
ever, he went on to say, accepted Mr.. Cur
zon's assurance that such occupation was
not meditated.
Palfour, the government leader, declined
to commit the government beyond Ak
ashes. 1t was useless to discuss the mat
ter further, he said. The government,
however, did not dream of occupying Dar-
fur.
A cabinet council lasting two hours took
place this afternoon. The commander-in-
chief, Lord Wolseley, was in attendance.
1t is understood that the Soudan campaign
WAS discussed. Before Lord Wolseley at
tended the cabinet council he consulted
with his quartermaster-general Gen.
Sir Henry Evelyn Wood, and
also with the adjutant.general,
Gen. Rt. Hon. Sir Bedvers Henry
Butler, to secure necessary information
from their departments in advising with
the government. The advance upon the
Nile will be limited to Akashes, owing to
the low stage of the river. and the further
advance upon Dongola will be made in
September. Some of the radical members
of parliament assert that the governments
aim is to reach Uganda.
According to a special dispatch received
here from Cairo, narrow gauge railroad
will be built along the Nile for the use of
the British expedition.
A dispatch from ST. Petersburg says that
the impression streng hens there that
King Menelik will ask Russia to mediate
between Abyssinia and Italy.

LONDON, March l6.-The Salvation army

excitement today, the occasion being a
mass meeting at the Crystal Palace TO
formally welcome back to England upon
his return from bis journey around the

mander-in-chief of the army. General
Booth, lin his address to the meeting referred
Immediately to the action of Ballington
Booth in America, saying that he had re-
turned to meet one of the heaviest trials
he had ever been called upon to face. But
even darkness had silver lining. The
American army. he asserted, stood almost
to a man true to him and assurances of
unceasing devotion had been pouring in
from every quarter of the globe.
At the conclusion of General Booths ad-
dress, the Booth-Tuckers, who have been
appointed to command the army in the
United States, were called to the front of
the platform. Two officers of the army
held over them the Stars and Stripes and
the Salvation Army blood and fire ensign.
The general took them by the hand and
dedicated them to their new work in Am
erica in few words which greatly stirred
the immense audience of 10000. all of
whom joined in an outburst of cheers for
the American flag.
The commissioners will sail for New
