WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 7-All
the members of the Minnesota delega-
ton except Representatives McCleary
and Eddy were in their seats when
Speaker Reeds gavel fell at noon to-
day. Representatives Fletcher and
Tawney were well remembered with
floral tokens of various kinds It is
said that Mr.. Eddy stopped over at
Canton to visit President Elect MIC
Kinley on his way East and will be
here in a few days. Representatives
Johnson, of North Dakota, and Pick
Ter, of South Dakota, were also present.
Mr.. Gamble is looked for in a day or
two.
The reassembling of congress for the
closing session of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, was an occasion of unusual bril-
dancy and interest. The opening days
are always gala affair marking as
they do the official Inauguration of
the social, as well as the political sea-
son in Washington, but today it was all
the more interesting, because of thu
long and hard fought political battle
that had been Waged during the recess.
The weather was perfect, clear and
fairly warm. The throngs who
streamed up the hill to witness the
opening ceremonies formed an unor-
ganized civic pageant. Gay equip
ages with rattle of chains, drawn by
prancing steeds, conveyed the diplo-
mats, the fashionables and the more
prominent in official life These ele-
giant turn-outs moved side by side with
one horse ramshackle cabs and other
nGEdescript two wheelers conveying
legislators and visitors. The unnum-
bered thousands moved up PennsyI-
va mia avenue on foot or in street cars.
The corridors and galleries were soon
thronged. There were demonstrat tions
for conspicuously prominent statesman
and at last came the drop of the gayel
and the regular ceremonies attending
the opening Of the session, and the re-
ception of the presidents annual COM
munication to congress. @,ss 1

CUBAN REVOLT.
warning Conveyed to Spain in Con-
seryatiye Words.

The insurrection in Cuba still continues,
with all its perplexities. 1t is difficult to per-
ceive that any progress has thus far been
made towards the paci1cation of the island,
or that the situation of affairs as depleted in
my last annual message has in the least
improved. If Spain still holds Havana and
the seaports and all the considerable towns,
the Insurgents still roam at will over at
least two-thirds of the inland country. If
the determination of Spain to put down the
insurrection seems but to strengthen with the
lapse of time, and is evineed by her un-
hesItating devotion OF largely increased mill
tary and naval forces to the task. there is
much reason to believe that the insurgents
have gained in point Of number and character
and resources, and are none the less in
flexible in their resolve not to succumh
without practically securing the great objects
for which they took up arms.
If Spain has not yet re-established her

Special Dispatch to the IntelllEcncer.
SISTERSVILLE, W. Va, June ia
few weeks ago on Sunday morning, a
young man named Thad Connolly was
found lying along the railroad at
point known as the "narrows" a short
distance north OF this city, m1ngled up
in a pretty serious way. At the time
OF the accident it was generally sup
posed that young Connolly had been
hit by train while on his way home
IN an intoxicated condition. as a train
was known to have passed the place
where n. was found only a short time
before he was discovered. Young Com
molly was found by some men who were
supposed TO have been up visiting the
sporting boats. which are located up In
that section, and was taken home by
them.
As a result OF the accident. as It was
supposed To be. Young Connolly lost a
hand and will be a cripple for life. AZ
ter il became evident that II would be
necessary to ampWatc the arm. there
was some talk NJ suing the railroad
company Tor damages. and the COM
pany took hold Of the case. II has de-
NelOpCQ tnat Ut the time young NOu-
molly was supposed 10 have been hit
by the train no train passed there, and
that the only train that had passed
that point was only running at a rate
Of about five miles an hour. the
"narr0ws" being a very bad place Tor
slides. and the engineer and iiremen
were looking out very closely for OBJ
structiOns. All 81 the truinmen have
made affidavit that there was no one
lying along the track, and neither did
they see anyone near the road at that
point.
I; looked very much as though there
had been foul play and on that ground
thu railroad has had tits detectives
working and now the case has been
worked to such point that there will
probably be couple OF arrests made
in the next few days The railroad
company is said to have positive cvi-
dcncc that young Connolly was the We
tim VI foul, play. and that the motive
for the crime was robbery FOR one
thing. as he was known to have start
ed home from a gambling room with
quite bit Of money. The names Of
the parties suspected have been with
held for various reasons. but 1t IS quite
likely that the city Will be shocked and
surprised after the arrests have been
made.
