ONE OF the most significant ind in

of this regioo of country is found n the
unnistakable evidences that Free Ma

CLOSE next March, aud during his nearly
six years in the Senate, he has been re-
sponsible for just one bill, and that has
not yet become law; although it
has passed The Senate and has been
favorably reported from the House Com
mittee on Inter State and Foreign Com
merce. And what think you is this
great and momentous piece of legisls-
ton that is to be the only reminder to
posterity, that ie, if 1T becomes law,
that David B Hill served six years in
the Senate? It authorizes The Sscre
tary OF the Treasury to detail revenue

CUBAN / BELLIGER ENJOY
The Line Secretary 0lnsy is Said to Be
Pursuing as to It.
The rre.idsRe to Urge the Cuban. to
Submit II Reforms Were PrOp-
dsed by Spain.

Beyond the reiteration of the statement
that the President has made overtures to
the Spanish authorities looking to peace
full settlement of the Cuban troubles, there
are no new developments on that subject
today. The officials maintain stubborn
reticence on the subject and decline to
discuss 1t one way CIR the other. All sorts
OF speculationS are current as to what the
administration has already done and what
1t proposes to do, but it is impossible to get
definite official information as to their re-
liability.
1t is now said that instead of COMMUNE
eating with Minister Taylor at Madrid
Secretary Olney is actually conducting ne
gotiations through the Spanish minister at
washington According to one report Sec
retary Olney has made 1t clear that The
PRESIDENT Is convinced that the recognition
OF Cuban belligerency Is not desired by
the property owners of the island, who,
he represents, are even more strongly OPP
posed 10 independence. In the opinion of
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney the presence
of the Spanish army is all that keeps the
island from state of anarchy
For the United States to recognize Cuban
belligerency, moreover. would arouse the
Spanish people to such a stage of resent
ment, the administration fears. that they
would oppose any attempts of the govern
ment to conciliate the Cubans.
Minister Dupuy de Lone has represented
TO Secretary Olney, so 1t is said, that the
government Is prepared to put into effect
the reform law recently enacted as soon as
this can be done, and the Secretary has as
sured him that the President stands ready
to urge the insurgents to accept these re-
forms and lay down their arms, and to
guarantee to them in such a case the good
faith of the Spanish government on its
promises Of reform
1t is also said that the President has ex-
pressed to the Spanish minister the hope
that the new Spanish Cortes would frame
a measure of home rule that would be
satisfactory to Cuban taxpayers, and indi-
Gated that he would pledge the influence of
the United States to have them accept, al
though clearly intimating that the result

THE CANADIAN BOUNDARY
An Uncertainty That May Give Rise to
Trouble

The House committee on foreign affairs
today took action regarding the Canadian
boundary. The matter was brought before
the committee recently by Mr.. Heatwole of
Minnesota, who Is endeavoring to bring
about settlement of the question of juris-
dlcuon over Hunters Island. A resolution
was unanimously adopted by the commit

United States and the Dominion of Canada
at many points has hot been definitely set

Gary at all necessary points between the
ST. Lawrence river and the Lake of the

or the committee is adopted.

Many Independent Meetings to be
Held This Evening.
ORG IN LINE

The thirty fourth anniversary of the alb
clifton of slavery in the District was cele-
brated today with the blare of music and
the pomp of an imposing street parade.
1t is the day we celebrate, that is to say,
the day that very large portion Of the
population celebrates, and from an early
hour this morning the business streets of
the city had more than their usual compile
ment of cclored people, who were out on
time to secure desirable positions from
which to see the glory and magnificence
of the occasion.
more desirable day for such an outdoor
celebration could not be asked. Young
and old fairly reveled in the warmth Of
the sunlight and forgot that only fort
night ago they were shiverng with cold
1t was holiday for all and they made the
best of their annual outing.
The principal feature Of the day was. of
course, the big parade, when hundreds of
colored gentlemen many on horseback and
more in gorgeous regalia. took advantage
of the opportunity to display themselves to
admiring throngs. The parade started in

AN UNKNOWN BODY
Found Floating In the Upper Potomac
Today.

Considerable excitement was occasioned
in Georgetown this forenoon over the find
ing of the body of a drowned man. which
was floating upon the surface of the water
Rumors Of an unknown suicide came Uni on
every side. The body was discovered by
John Whalen, who was fishing in the Po-
tomac about 400 yards west of the first
quarry, just above the site of the old
gambling house of Jack Heath The BODY
hoated close by his beat before he could
discern it's shape, and as soon as he found
out that it was human body he pulled I'D
the anchor of his boat and rowed into
town. He reported his CHASTITY find to Mr..
E. c. Lucas, the special watchman en-
ployed at the entrance to the Auueduct
bridge, and Mr.. Lucas, with AL F. Paul
secured a boat, and after a little trouble
tied a rope around the body and lowed it
in shore. The body was in such a bad
state of decomposition that it could not be
taken to the untitled morgue at the seventh
precinct.
From all indications the corpse is that of
a white man, about four feet five or sly
inches in height, and has been in the water
for some weeks The flesh and hair are all
gone, and all of the flesh the left arm,
leaving only the bones. The right arm is
hidden by clothing, but the flesh is CLEARLY
stripped from the hard. The body is all
normally sweiled, and is covered with
suit of black-blue material, it being hard to
ascertain the exact color on account of the
mud. Around the waist grape vine is Sc
curely fastened, the other end trailing for
about twenty sor twenty-five feet In the
agony of death the unfortunate man grasp
ed hold of the vine, the right hand tightly
claspng the line.
The body is almost beyond identification.
but 1t is supposed to be that of Samuel
Pearson, who Twas drowned about three
months ago above Great Falls, an account
of which was published in The Star at the
time. Pearson: with a negro boy, entered
skiff and padded up the river after
something. The skiff was found several
days later capsiZed, and also the oars and
poles USED on the boat. but no trace has
ever been secured Of the occupants. The
river at the time was very high
1t is supposed that the unfortunate man
had tied the grape vine around his waist
while towing tie boat along the swift cur
rent in the upper Potomac and that he
was pulled overheard. Another theory is
that he was towing heavy log down the
river when washed overheard. and still
another is that he was wood fisher"
catching floating logs while standing on,
shore. On account of the state of the
corpse, the dead wagon of the health de-
partment was summoned to carry 1t to me
morgue, though the body remained at the
base of the first pier of the Auueduct
bridge for several hours before the wagon
appeared. sa
