WASHINGTON, March 5.-For O long
time this afternoon IL looked as though
the Cuban question would be finally dis.
posed OF in the Senate by agreeing TO
conference report accepting the House
resolutions. At the conclusion of Mr..
Mitchell's elaborate argument on the
Dupont case, Mr.. Sherman presented
the report Of the conferees and asked
for immediate action. Representatives.
Hit and Adams, TWO of the House con-
%ferees, were present at the time, as 1t
was expected that the report would be-
adopted.
But as it was then 3 o'clock not more
b q doZsn Senators were in the
chamber and Mr.. Hale, Of Maine, sug-
gested that it wsn undesirable to crowd
through q resolution of his magnitude
at a late hour and with an empty

sharp debate. Mr.. Chandler, who had
not before been heard on Cuba, declared
himself In favor not only of recogniz.
ing but of maintaining the independ-
enoe Of Cuba. even If it resulted in war
with. Spain. Mr.. rlawley expressed
sympathy with the public feeling
against Spain, yet he feared the earnest
ness and eagerness o. the United States
would involve us in war not only with
Spain but other European countries. He
deprecated the flippancy with which
warlike utterances were made,
Mr.. Sherman concluded to let the
subject go over until Monday, the Sem
ate having agreed to adjourn until
then, and he gave notice tina he would
Call up the report during the morning
hour, lasting from 12 until Q.
The early part of the day was given
to the Dupont case, Mr.. Mitchell CON
tinuing and concluding his plea for Mr..

Old Captain Gone.

Captain j. n. Knowles, one of
Oakland'sbest-known citizens,died
on June 10th. The previous Sat
urday Captain Knowles started on
a trip to Alaska, where, it was
thought, his health would be much
benefited. He shipped on the
steamer Jennie, Of which he was
part owner, but the voyage had
scarcely commenced when Capt.
Knowles was taken i'll, and orders
were issued that the boat put back
to San Francisco. The steamer
arrived the evening of the 9th, and
Captain Knowles was hurriedly
conveyed to his home, where he
died as stated.
About twenty years ago, Captain
Knowles came to this Coast as the
agent of several Boston ships, and
had long been prominent in mar
inc circles. He was at one time
captain on the seas, the last craft
which he commanded having been
the Glory of the Seas. The ship
was built by the famous shipbuild-
or, Donald Mckay of Boston, and
was distinguished by being the one
hundredth which the firm had sent
out.
The career of Captain Knowles
as seafaring man was both ro-
mantle and remarkable. At one
time, while on cruise, his ship
was lost and he was cast upon an
island in the South seas. The
calamity came about as the result
of a defect in the chart. The
captain was in possession of ST.
600 in treasure at the time, which
he managed to take with him to
the island. He later left a por-
ton of the crew upon the island
and set out in the long boat for
Pitcairn island, where he buried
the $1,000.
After his return to the island
Captain Knowles engineered the
construction of boat, in which
the whole party sailed for Samoa.
The men were picked up and con-
veyed to San Francisco, where
Captain Knowles learned that he
had been given up as dead, a
portion Of his estate having been
distributed to his heirs.
CaptainKnowles later interest
ed himself in whaling enterprises,
and was identified with the Arctic
Oil Works for many years. He
is survived by a widow and seven
children, the latter being Mrs.
Harry Gordon, Mrs. H.H. Adams,
Harry, Matte, Ruth, Alice and
Thomas Knowles.

Minister Damon Coniradict~ Locai
Fiction


In an interview with Mr. Da.
mon, Minister Of Finance, in the
San francisco Chronicle the fol-
lowing occurs:
Minister Damon'' professed TO
be astonished at the story which
come up from the islands on the
steamer Alameda last week con
corning Volney V. Ashford
"Had the British Government
proclaimed its intention to send
Ashford down to the islands on
war vessel" he said, cit is more
than likely that ! should have
learned of it, and as | have not
heard of any such contemplated
move on the part of the British
Government | must say that /
doubt the authenticity of the tale.
The British Government some
time ago made request that Ash
ford be restored TO his rights in
the islands, and the matter has
since been the subject OF diploma
tic correspondence between the
two Governments. i can say that
the request of the British Govern
ment has received proper consi-
deration, for we wish to be on the
footing of doing what is right in
all cases that come up for consi-
Iteration. The matter is still pend
ing, and l know that the British
Government has taken no recent
action that might be considered as
irritating"

Mr.. r. P O'Connor, a member Of the
English house Of commons, has views
upon an ideal society. In his perfect ma
ton men and women viii enjoy social
and political equality.
What / want to see, says this ardent
champion, is that women should be
placed IN such an economic position that
marriage VIII not be entered into by her
as the last and the only means she has of
getting a livelihood. Every woman
should be tanght to be self supporting if
she belongs to those who have TO live bv
then own exertions, and, indeed, whether
she does or not, she ought TO learn to
help herself, for ven settled facts NAV
disappear. In the Weather classes wo-
man should be given the highest educa-
ton she is capable of receiving, so as to
be an intellectual companion to her hus-
band If she desire to have one-and to
herself if she choose to live alone" But
the admirable common sense of these
statements is somewhat oounterbalanced
by the fact that IN Mr.. O'Connor's ideal
every girl viii be married at II and
every man at 81. =
