mn. MORGAN ~ DERArE.
He Gives an Address to the Senate ON the
Cuban Matter. -.

Washington, March 16.-At $3.50 p. m
the Cuban resolutions were taken up in
the senate and Mr.. Morgan proceeded to
speak. Mr.. Morgan gave a resume Of
petitions and memorials from all parts
of the country In favor of the independ-
ence of Cuba.
Mr.. Hale said he presumed that all
these petitions We're under a printed
heading, sent out from single source.
Mr. Morgan thereupon sent a batch of
the petitions to Mr. Hale for inspec-
ton.
Mr.. Frye asked whether Mr.. Hale
had ever heard of remonstrances to
congress against the recognition of
Cuban Independence.
II have had hundreds of letters from
business men all over the country" Mr..
Hale replied. "They are to me of much
more than petitions"
Mr. Morgan made some deprecatory
remarks about property owning men
who wanted to prevent any legisla-
tion that might cost them a little
money. His object was, he said, to
show the pressure that was brought to
bear on the committee on foreign re-
lations and to show how conservative
that committee had been.
Mr.. Hale inquired about the paper
from the Spanish minister to Mr.. Oh
ney which Mr.. Sherman had unwarily
referred to the other day.
| Mr.. Morgan replied that, with the
consent of Secretary Olney and the
| Spanish minister, he would read copy
of the paper Mr.. Morgan read the pa
per by sentences and commented as he
went. When he came to the end he
said that miraculous and mysterious
paper was a mere petition for della ,.
And the senate had granted that delay.
The paper was dated January II. 1t
contained a dispatch from General
Campos stating that the so-caled Gu
ban government had not fixed resi-
dence Mr.. Morgan remarked that the
government of the United States and
the continental congress had during the
revolution nine capitols and the British
could not chase them to cover. The
United States, when this capitol was
burned, was a fugitive in Virginia.
Mr.. Morgan referred to the alleged
dispatch from the premier of the Span
ish government, which Mr.. Hale read to
| the senate last week He stated that it
had come out that Senior Canovas sent
no such dispatch and was not RESPONSE
bic for it. The senator from Maine mis-
| took the Spaniard. The Spaniard had
neither mercy nor consideration in his
| heart for the people of Cuba-those
mulattoes, negroes and vagabonds de-
scribed by de LONE. All the Spaniards
quarrelled with any American citizen
/ who demanded for these people all the
rights of Spain The senator from
Maine negatived that demand and was
not willing that they should be free
men in Cuba, and he (Morgan) took ii
for granted that Mr.. Hale was willing
they shall be freemen here either, un-
less they could be made to vote the re-
publican ticket.
WitAout finishing his speech Mr. Nor
gan yielded the floor and the senate ad'
/ journed.

basis. but owing to the receiver pro-
ceedings 1t has not been paid, The

Natural Ice House.

Virginia has many natural curl
osities, the most notable among
them being, we believe, the Natu-
raj Bridge in Rockbridge county,
but q formation of nature as Curl
Gus and as seryiceable as any of
them, is the natural ice house on
Cowpasture river, in this county,
on the lands of Mr.. Harvey Hup.
man. This house, whose builder
was Nature, has existed since the
earth took its present shape, but
it seems that it has not been known
generally to exist, outside Of the
immediate community.
This house is situated at the end
Of a large ridge, near its base IN a
small cove. Cliffs Of rocks form
the sides, and protruding, shelving
lodges the roof. The only thing
artificial about it is a rock wall
built at the entrance to protect it
from intrusion by animals. A con-
slant swaying of the ferns that
grow about the entrance is notice
able on approaching, which is
caused by an unusually cold cur
rent of air coming through a small
opening in the back part of the
house. This small opening, if it
could be followed, would likely lead
to a large cave. It is no unusual
thing to feel a cold current Of air
on entering cave. but it is unus-
ual for that current " to be cold
enough to form ice all through the
summer, as in this case. A small
stream Of water trickles down the
sides Of the rocks, andis continual
ly being formed into ice. A gen
tlenian visited there during last
month, when the thermometer reg
istered 81 and found ice in abun-
dance. He said the change in tenn
peIature was so great he was afraid
to remain but q few moments.
Mr.. Hupman, the owner Of this
natural ice-hous9, turns it to good
account III warm weather by plac-
ing in it fresh meats, butter, &C.,
where it keeps nicely for several
days, This place has for years been
known in the neighborhood as the
Cold House.

Since the news Of the result Of
the Kentucky contest was received
it is the opinion Of at least seven
democrats out of every ten in Con-
gress, regardless Of their personal
preference, that the silver demo
Gratis will have majority i'll the
Chicago convention and will be
able to dictate the platform. The
more conservative among. them
think, however, that the time-hon-
ored two-thirds rule will be cOntin-
ued and that it will be utilized as a
toner down Of extremes. In other
words, that while the silver men
will have majority which will en-
able them to make any sort Of plat
form they want, they will not have
the two-tLirds necessary to nomi-
nate candidates.

Highland Cut Out.

Communication by phone can
lot be had any further east than
Churchville. The Highland line
s has been cut out, and in order to
establish It's former usefulness, an
o .ner wire will have to be placed
on She same poles, W aich will form
a metallic circuit to take the place
Of the ground. connection. This
will require considerable outlay,
but it certainly should be done, for
our people cannot get along with
out the line since becoming used to
it. On account of the electric
street car line, which is now in OPP
Grafton ia Stanton, the change re-
ferred to aboye has to be made.
The earth is so charged with cleo
tricity that, the ground wires ara

CURED. Ithas been suggested that
metallic circuit be made as far as
