DIED OF OvERwORK.
Appalling Result of a London CorO-
ner's Inquest.

As result of coroner's inquest upon
'longshoreman's apprentice who recently
died in London as a direct consequence
of overwork, special committee which
has been making an investigation reports
an appalling condition of affairs, and the
matter is to be brought before Parliament
at an early date. In the case of one lad
of II years the evidence, confirmed by the
time sheets of the employers, showed that
his total weekly hours of work, without
sleep, for nine consecutive weeks ranged
from a minimum of los to IA. In an
other case of lad of 16 the time sheets
showed that during the week preceding
his examination he had worked, continu-
ously la hours, or nearly five days and
nights, without rest.

Hone Is in the West.

X. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says: I'm some quarters business
gains; at the West, rather than at the
East. but there is no general change for
the better, although hopefulness still pre-
dominates. The want of sufficient de-
mand for the products of great industries
still retards actual improvement Strikes

and kindred lines affect trade in Chicago
and Baltimore, but there are fewer labor
difficulties than usual, rs existing condi-
tions warn wage-earners that controver-
sizes at this time are unwise."

The State penitentiary ut Jefferson CITY,
Mo-. was quarantined by order of the
State Board of Health, and until the
quarantine is raised no one will be per-
mitted to enter or leave that institution.
The order is caused by the prevalence of
smallpox at Pleasant Hill, Nevada and
Kansas City. There are no cases at the
penitentiary, and the order is taken as a
precautionary measure. Pleasant Hill pa
tents carried the disease both to Nevada
and Kansas City. At Pleasant Hill there
are about twelve cases, and eighs houses
have been quarantned, and in Kansas
City there are three cases, and one house
has been isolated.

diplomatic correspondence with Spain rel
alive to the possible Independence Of
Cuba.
Congress the Responsible Body.
The stand taken by the Administration
throughout the Cuban affair has been that
inasmuch as the United States have .
treaty with Spain they are bound to OBJ
serve its provisions. In his first message
the President stated pretty clearly that
the responsibility for any action, as far
ms Cuba was concerned, lay with Con-
gress. All that he said was that Spain,
being q friendly nation, must have the
benefit Of her treaty.
Friends of the President declare that
he has never been other than willing to
grant belligerent rights to Cuba, but
that he Is distinctly unwilling to assume
responsibilities in the matter which should
be shouldered by Congress. Congress
alone can declare war, and the President
is decidedly unwilling to take the initiative
in matter that may cause active HOSTILE
ties with Spain. He is known to have
declared himself recently to one of his
friends in the Senate, and is represented
as saying: "Let Congress pass q joint
resolution declaring it wants Cuba recog-
nized and Cuba will be recognized"
No one expects Spain to let tho island
go without struggle, but it was con-
sidered to be the only proper thing for
this country TO do TO make q peaceable
proposition first and then, in case that
were rejected, to secure independence by
armed Intervention If necessary.
Vest for Cubans.
A stirring speech by Mr.. Vest in behalf
of Cuba was the event of Thursday in the
Senate. 1t came Unexpectedly, and serv-
ed to arouse enthusiasm.
The Senate had agreed that the final
vote on the Cuban resolution would be
taken at 4 p. IN. Friday, and the debate
was proceeding, Mr.. White of California
and Mr.. Gray of Delaware contending as
legal proposition that the United States
could not at this time recognize Cuba's
independence. This aroused Mr. Vest,
first, for question, then for remonstrance,
and then to one Of the bursts of eloquence
with which he at times electrifies the
Senate. He spoke of Spain as the tooth
less old wolf who had had lost one by one
all her litter, and was still clinging to
this single remaining cub. He pictured
Spain as the impotent giant of Despair in
the Pilgrims Progress, gazing on defeat.
In imprisoned words he apotheosized
liberty in periods of rare beauty and fer
vor, adding with ringing emphasis that
the Cuban patriots would never, never,
never again become the unwilling sub.
jects of Spain.

isluuu Will HIS prOuipt ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of coming butchery and his past record
in that direction stirred up even the old
est and most conservative Senator's TO
a pitch of sympathy and enthusiasm
which was as genuine as it was unusual
in the Senate chamber.
An Impressive Scene.
There have been few more impressive
scenes in that historic room than when
Senator Sherman denounced the butcher
les in the Island of Cuba, and declared 1t
to be his solemn conviction that unless
stop were put to them no mortal power
could prevent the people of the United
States from themselves marching over
to the island of Cuba and setting it free.
without waiting for slow Governmental
processes. When he expressed his opinion
on the sympathy of the American public
the galleries burst into long roll of spon-
taneous applause. men and women uniting
in their manifestations of approval. This
is entirely against the rules of the Sen
ate, but the Vice President and the Ser
geant-at-Arms were powerless In the face
of the people themselves who had come
to see the first step taken toward Cuban
freedom. At frequent intervals in the
proceedings the galleries took part, in
spite of all threats to clear the seats.
The vote of GA to is sufficient indica-
ton of the feeling of Congress, for the
Senate is always the more conservative
body and least liable to be led away by
popular clamor. As soon as the resolu-
tons were passed in the Senate they were
brought over to the House and were there
received with cheers.
There was q good deal Of careful ma
neuvering required to put the resolutions
in a shape which would not embarrass the
administration. Although the Constitu-
ton requires all resolutions to be sub
mitted to the President before taking eff
feet, 1t has been the custom Of Congress
not to send concurrent resolutions to the
White House. They have been used only
in expressing the opinion Of Congress and
are employed on matters which do not
need legislative approval. In the present
case it was desired only TO express to the
world that the American Congress was
In favor of recognizing the Cuban patriots
as belIigerents, and also to put on record
the belief that the time for securing the
independence Of the island was at hand.
1t was not desired TO have them signed by
the President. because II that we're re-
ouired 1t might embarrass him in his
