WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The senate

quorum would not be present with

the Cuban question will have the ef-

Whether its presentation will be used
as pretext for discussing the Cuban
question at this time is as yet un-
certain. It is contrary to the policy
of the committee on foreign relations to
have the matter discussed previous to
the holidays, but it is possible that
some senators not members Of the COM

saved her life by jumping out of the
window. The family was together dur
ing the evening, the only member OF
the household, a Mr.. Hirsch, brother
of Mrs Goldsmith having gone OUT
shortly after the evening meal. Ac-
cording to the story told by the serv-,
ant, she was on the third floor of the
building in the act of putting Harry
and Frank, the two younger boys to
bed when she heard the cry of fire
coming from the floor below with calls
to her to come down. She ran out of
the bedroom and hurried down the
stairs, and the little children followed
her. As soon as she looked into the
front room on the second floor she
saw the whole front end of the room
ablaze. Then she became frightened
and ran out into rear room and
jumped from an open window to the
ground. What more happened she does
not know, but she says that the fire
was caused by the upsetting of a
large piano lamp.

ESSENCE OF DEATH

ger-Latest Victims May Recover.

WHEELING, w. Va, Dec. 20.-Ad-
ditional details from Benwood the new
oil field in Monroe county, Ohio, con-
drinking essence of cinnamon a sub
stitute for whisky, sold at a speakeasy,
confirm the first reports. Three we'll
known men are dead, several are seri-
ously i'll, and three insane. It seems
that one Of the storekeepers at Ben
wood got hold of the fact that a
Wheeling drug firm was putting up
preparation called essence of CHINA
mon,' which contained q large per-
centase of alcohol. The merchant laid
in large supply OF the stuff and sold
great deal of it during the after
noon and evening. Several who par
took Of the essence soon became i'll
and three of them after terrible suffer
ing died. The first victim was w. II.
Price, who died before a physician
could be secured He died in awful
agony. Mr.. Price was one Of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens, his
royalties from wells on his farm ag-
gregating $4,000 a month. Charles Sci
bert, a butcher of Sardis O., was the
next attacked, and he was quickly
followed to eternity by Thomas Clegg,

secure action on the resolutions now.
Senator Pettigrew's free homestead
bill is the unfinished business on the
senate calendar, and the senator will
make a strong effort to secure it's pas
sage before the adjournment for the
holidays on Tuesday Mr. Pettigrew
feels confident of success by a large
majority and says that he will not re-
quire more than an hour to get it
through when consideration is once be-
gun. Senator Platt and some other
Eastern senators are opposed to the
bill
Senator Gear will make an effort to
get up his bill authorizing the settle
ment of the Sioux City & Pacific rail-
road debt, but his success in this will
depend upon the disposition of the
free homestead bill.
IN THE HOUSE.
The house will adjourn on Tuesday
for the holiday recess, and as members
are leaving on every train it is very
doubtful whether a quorum will be
present again until after the holidays.
This being the case, whatever is done
will have to be done practically by
unanimous consent. The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill is still unfinished This bill and
the bill for the maintenance of the mil
itary academy the leaders hope to
pass before the recess. The only thing
which may stand in the way of carry
ins out this programme will be the
fight which the library committee will
wage against the provision relative to
the library in the legislative bill. The
library committee agreed on a bill for
the future government of the library
which the appropriation committee re-
jected. They will seek to have the
house adopt this amendment to the
legislative bill, but as a point of order
will be against it there seems to be no
chance of it's adoption. They can then,
of course, if they so desire, retaliate
In case a quorum is not present and
prevent the passage of the bill. The
provision in the bill will retain Mr..
Spofford as librarian and increase his
salary from 81 900 to $4,000. Their pro-
vision abolishes the position of libra
rian and creates a director of the Ii
brary at $4,000.
Tomorrow under the rules is suspen-
sion. day, but it is probable that the
appropriation bills will consume the
session.

made to have the resolution considered
tomorrow this objection would be
forthcoming. great many senators
have made their preparations to leave
the city for the holidays, and it is
thought unlikely that quorum can
be mustered on Tuesday by which
business can be transacted, and this
point would be raised If the Cameron
resolutions were brought forward
The statement made by Mr.. Olney
yesterday is still a subject of earnest
discussion. In some quarters his posi-
tion is fully sustained, while in others
it is admitted that, perhaps. from a
purely technical statement of law the
secretary's position is correct, but that
certainly he violates the principle of the
constitution. Those who make this
contention reverse the circumstances.
Supposing, they say, that the president
declared that he intended to recognize
a republic and that congress should
pass a resolution declaring it their
judgment that no such action should
be taken, would 1t be possible for the
president, in the face Of the position of
both senate and house, to use the exec
utive prerogatiye and recognize re-
public? This constitutional point has
for the time being supplanted in inter
est the resolution itself, and 1t is known
that when the resolution is brought
forward for discussion a debate of
considerable interest and length will
ensue on this subject. The position of
Mr.. Olney. setting forth that of the
administration, will undoubtedly have
Its effect in some quarters of the sem
ate, and 1t is said tonight that suffi-
cient opposition can be mustered to de-
feat the resolution.

HokE SMITH HUGS IN COURT.
Ex-Secrctary's Novel Method of Con-
vtncfng a Judge.


ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 20.-Ex-Secre-
tary Hoke Smith appeared in court to-
day as counsel for Mrs. M. L. Henson,
who was charged by DR.. F. l.. Powell
with robbing him Of his pocketbook.
The doctor said that Mrs. Henson
visited the office to give a prescription
AS she was leaving he asked her for a
kiss He declared that she did kiss
him, and at the same time picked his
pocket, getting a purse containing $45.
The defendant denied the statement,
and declared that she ran out Of the
Office when the doctor became demon
strative. Powell is of medium height
and weighs 225 pounds. When Mr..
Smith saw him he remembered the
farewell embrace of his late chief.
Neither Mr.. Smith, who weighs 325
pounds, nor the chief who weighs be-
tween 800 and 40O could reach around.
Smith smiled and asked Mr.. Powell to
hug him and show the justice how the
woman picked his pocket.
The doctor accepted the invitation
and threw his arms around the eX-
secretary. They hugged each other
tightly. Their stomachs would not
give way The doctor could not reach
Mr.. Smiths hip pocket, for he was
too stout, nor could Mr.. Smith reach
the doctors gun pocket.
The audience and the magistrate en-
joyed the scene hugely and the magis
trate decided that it was physically
impossible for Mrs. Henson to have
