UNNECESSARY SYMPATHY

Oae Of the things that ex2sper-
atcs the average man of affairs is to
fad p:op!e complaining grievous-
Iy { f their LOT, when he knows that
they are not passing through any
thing like the trouble he has
experienced time, ard again.
They expect him to sympathize
with then-which usually means 10
agree with them about the magn1-
tube, of their- troubles. But for
the lite OF him he finds himself I'M
able to do so. He can see no
special reas o. why they should not
take up their burdens and bear
them as he has had to do. We
may call such people hard and un-
feeling, and certainly we must adj
NIT that one man may deserve
sympathy and encouragement in
trials that another would make
little Of. AT the same time there
is call for a vigorous protest
against unnecessary demands upon
sympathy. 1t is too precious a
thing and costs too largely of the
very essence of life to be lavished
upon those to whom a rebuke
and a stern recommendation to
"burn their own smoke" and play
their parts like men would be more
wholesome than any qualification
of their desire to avoid the siren
uous side of lite.-Watchman.

General Discussion Of It in the
House Closed.
VOTE TO BE TAKEN TO-DAY
The Bill Will Be Voted on by
Paragraphs.
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE IN HOUSE
Mr.. Grow and Mr.. Bartlett Make
Reply to Certain Misrepresen-
tations of Themselves and
the House.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The general
House closed to-day, and tomorrow it
will be taken up by paragraphs.
Aside from two incidents, the pro-
ceedings were somewhat uninterest-
ing. Immediately after the Journal
was read, Mr.. Grow arose to speak on
a matter of privilege The subject
which he wished to discuss was pass
age contained in pamphlet published
by the New York Chamber of Com
merce, which, he said, was an attack
upon the good faith OF the House. The
passage was:
Then came the seizures Of Canadian
sealing vessels by the United States in
Behring Sea, which was arbitrated
and about $400, 900 awarded to the own
ers of the seized vessel, which has not
been paid, owing to the failure of Con-
gress to make an appropriation there
for, and which we are in honor bound
to settle without further delay
This passage having been read, Mr..
Grow demanded to be allowed to speak
upon it as a question Of privilege, and
was proceeding to speak when Mr..
Crisp Dem., of Ga.) made the point
that the pamphlet presented no ques-
tion of privilege.
Mr.. Grow contended that since re-
Elections upon members OF the House
were questions of privilege, one upon
the whole House was much more one.
This Mr.. Crisp combatted, but Mr..
Grow continued TO speak, and said
that he would make it question of
personal privilege.
.'The Board of Arbitration did not
award a dollar of damages" Mr.. Grow
declared. IF that had been done. il
would be dishonest not to pay it, and
it is a reflection on the House to say
that such an award was made and not
paid
Here the Speaker ruled that no ques-
tion Of privilege was presented, where
upon Mr.. Grow took his seat, saying:
''Well, / am satisfied"
The second incident was a defense
entered into by Mr.. Bartlett of the po-
sition taken by himself on the pen
sion question. He made a vigorous
reply to the attacks which have been
made upon his first speech during the
bNO 0dNS SiI4ec Ht IlduE IL. lie SdIu
that he might have been justified in
having one of the men summoned to
the bar of the House for language
used. had he cared to so dignity the
speech.
Among the bills introduced in the
House to-day was one by Mr.. Skinner,
of North Carolina, to reduce the com
pensation of all persons in the public
service 80 1-3 per cent. TO meet the de-
ficiency in the Treasury.

Foreign Questions Receive Attention in
the Senate

Washington, Jan. 1G.The consid-
Grafton Of the silver bond bill pro-
ceeded in the Senate to-day with Mr..
PETER continuing his speech begun
Yesterday. Interest in the discussion
has begun to lag as was evident by
the scant attendance on the floor and
the galleries. As yet no suggestion
has been made as to bringing the
measure to a vote.
Foreign questions received consider
able attention to-day. Mr.. Hale
spoke for an hour in favor of a Pacific
cable connecting the United States and
Hawaii The Senator expressed the
opinion that the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States
was certain to be accomplished at an
early day.
The Cuban question was briefly dis
cussed in connection with Mr.. Calls
resolution calling on the State Depart
ment for information on the status OF
the uprising. Mr.. Sherman, chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, urged that this call for infoima-
ton would be inexpedient, and would
embarrass our consuls in Cuba.
Mr.. Platt spoke briefly against pre-
cipitate action in recognizing the
Cuban insurgents, merely for the
moral effect of such action, when such
a course would be an offense to Spain,
and contrary to the principles OF inter
national Law.
The Monroe Doctrine also received
attention in a resolution by Mr.. Sewell,
of New Jersey, declaring the limita-
tons of the doctrine, and stating that
President CleyeIand's attitude was an
extension of the doctrine beyond its
original scope.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the State Department for further in
formation on Turlish-Armenian af-
fairs.
At lao the Senate adjourned till
Monday.

THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE
1T WILL HARDLY BE SETTLED BY
THE COMMISSION.
Ii is Now Almost Sure to be Arbitrated
by Third Party Not the
United States.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Aside from
the leisurely manner in which the Ven
ezuelan Commission is arranging to
prosecute it's work, there are no other
indications that the administration has
become convinced that thisaugust body
will not have the honor of settling the
great boundary dispute.
While it cannot be stated positively.
that this belief is based entirely upon
any specific reports from Ambassador
Bayard on the subject, yet there is
reason to believe some assurances of
satisfactory nature have come to the
State department that the matter will
be terminated shortly, probably with
III two months, or before a report rea-
sonably can be expected from the Ven
ezuelan Commission, and upon lines
that will he unobiectionable to our
Government.
While details of the arrangements
are not obtainable, and perhaps have
not yet been fixed, it is believed that
the basis of it will be arbitration. as
proposed originally by the United
States, but with limitation that will
suffice, at least, to save British pride
and appear TO maintain British con-
sistency. This is likely to be found in
an agreement between Great Britain
and Venezuela directly, brought about
through the good Offices of third
party, not necessarily or probably the
United States, TO submit to Joint
commission the question of the title
to all territory west of the Schom-
burgh line, with proyiso that if, in
the course of the inquiry of the com
mission, evidence appears to touch the
British title TO the lands lying to the
eastward Of that line, then the BODY
may eXend its functions to adiudicate
such title.
This arrangement would meet the
British contention that the original ar
bitration shall be limited to lands to
the westward of the line, while still
conceding the justice of the contention
of Mr.. Cleveland, that the lands on
the other side may properly be taken
into consideration in fixing the boun-
Diary. Possibly n supplementary arbi-
tration will be left to deal with the
question Of the title of the eastward
lands, If the original commission deal
ing with the matter shall find that the
title to the lands is fit subject for ar
bitration, as shown by the evidence be-
tore it,

NOW FOR THE POPULISTS
NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS
IN ST. LOUIS TO-DAY.
To Decide Upon Where and When the
National Convention Will
be Held

ST. Louis, Jan. 16.-Ihe following
members of the Peoples party arrived
here to-day to take part in the meet
ing of that party on Friday, which is
to name the time and place for hold
ing the National Convention. Chair
man II. T.. Taubeneck, of Illinois;
Col. Tom Patterson, of Colorado, who
was member of the platform commit
tee of the last Democratic National
Convention; Senator Marion Butler,
of North Carolina; Congressman John
G. Bell, of Colorado; Secretary J. III.
Turner, of Washington City; ID. y.
Merritt, of Wyoming; S. II. Sydney,
of Kansas; 4. Gerry Brown, of Mass
achusets; Judge C. II. Power, of
Indiana; A. Rossell, who is Chairman
of the Peoples Party State Commit
tee of Missouri and member of the
National committee; Gen. Weaver, of
Iowa; Ex- Governor Waite, OF Colora-
do, and NJ. c. Rankin, of Indiana,
Treasurer of the National Committee.
The committee is composed of ia
members. Not over fifty of them are
expected TO attend the meeting. The
others will send proxies.
Mr.. II. +. Taubeneck. Chairman of
the Executive Committee, says nothing
is known vet as to where or when the
convention will be held Chicago, St.
Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Omaha,
indianapolis, Dallas and Atlanta want
the convention, and each one of them
has friends in the committee But
which ever place is selected, there also
will the Bi-Metallic Union meet, and
the union of these two elements will
make one of the largest conventions
ever held in this country.
Concerning the alleged movement
to bring about a fusion Of all the re-
form forces, Mr. Taubeneck said:
II have received number OF letters
from influential members Of the party
in various sections of the country sug-
gesting that, but as yet the matter has
not been formally or officially dis
cussed: nor do | know whether the
committee viii deal with the subject
at this meeting. We will perhaps
send representatives to the meeting of
the American Bi-Metallic League at
Washington next week to look out for
US, and participate as individuals, if
they so desire; so far as the report TO
the effect that / have advocated a
union of all the reform forces in the
nation on a free silver platform,
want to denounce as absolutely false.
/ have done no such thing, nor had
even contemplated it. Of course, we
will make the currency question the
main issue in our platform, but that
by no means indicates that we are
going TO merge our party into any
other We are still in the middle OF
the road, and are going to stay there"
Mr. Taubeneck declared that he had
no idea yet who his party would nomi-
nate for president. He considered
Sibiey. OF Pennsylvania, magnifi-
cent man, but did not look upon the
Endorsement by the free silverites OF
SiDley for President as at all binding
to the Populists. The consensus of
opinion Of the committeeman inter
viewed was that their National conyen-
tion would not be held until both the,
old parties put tickets in the field.

STICKS TO HIS ORIGINAL STORY
The Examination of David CredIe
Completed Yesterday.

Washington,N. \. c.. Jan. (Spe-
cial,) )-I'his morning Mr.. j. Il. Moore
resumed the cross-eNamination of Da-
yid Creole for defendant Bell. The
witness is an ignorant man. and often
did not understand the attorneys
questions. but, taken as a whole, he
held up Wclh under the acute cross
examination until I o'clock, when the
witness was turned over TO MIR. G.. s.
Simmons, attorney of w. II. Brantley,
Jr and at s o'clock p. IN. the cross
examination ended. He went on the
stand before II ON yesterday and it has
been Il trying ordeal to him. His de-
meanOr on he stand has made favor
able impression on a majority of the
large number who heard it, but there
are others who are not pleased with it,
He has stuck to his original statement
wonderfully well, there being but few
discrepancies or new facts developed
The attempt to break him down
with questions relative to his past life
failed, yet at times he would appear
confused. He said he never made
proposition to one Silverthorne to
break open store III Bath, and never
stole Silverthorne's money; that he
did not know that he was ever accused
of stealing money at Rose Bay. He
said Silyerthorne was accused of steal
ing it.
II don't think Luke Stephens, John
Flowers, Littlejohn Flowers and l
ever talked over the wealth of Bonner
and others while in the timber woods.
/ only talked to John Flowers about
minute after / was arrested. / started
to make a confession to him. lie stop
ped me and went for Fowler and Rod
man to hear it,
Witness said Uncle Faison has been
around my cell several times implor-
ing him to say that John Flowers was
in the Bonner murder.
To the question if witness knew that
he would be convicted and hung for
the murder Of Bonner and if he knew
that to implicate others in the crime
would save his own neck, would ne
implicatc them, witness said he
thought he would.
On the redirect examination, wit
ness only re-affirmed what he had said
before and made some explanations.

ing and wounding some OF his men,
who were left on the field. Col. Molina
defeated o band in the jurisdiction OF
Colon. The column of Zorro defeated
also the enemy in the Clariera planta-
ton. Col. Marti met and defeated also
another band in Santi Spiritus. Other
small encounters have come also to
the advantage OF the Spanish army,
but without great results, because of
the policy Of disbandjng adopted by
the insurgents. / telcgraphed to you
the news with perfect accuracy
(Signed ''TETUAN."
The Spanish minister declared that
the alarming dispatches published in
the press are without foundation.
Gomez, he says, is trying, without re-
suit, to return to the eastern part OF
the island, and has had several en-
gagements in Ceiba, Quibican, Guiana
jay and Beiucal, in an effort TO break
the Spanish line and pass into the
province of Matanzas. There is no
more reason for alarm. said the min
lister, than two weeks ago, when the
insurgents approached Havana and SO
many papers printed the news that the
capital Of the island had been taken.
