but we need people. We need those
who have gone out and conquered the
wilderness of the nothw est to come
down here and settle on our surplus
lands. We could take the 10000, 600
of people in this country and put them
| in the southern States and the country
would not be one fourth as densely
populated as England is today. The
State of Georgia was nearly as large
as all the New England States. Texas
was larger than the New England and
capital, skilled labor, more people,
good Middle States together: We
have 500, 600, 900 acres of land in these
ssouthern State. Not in 100 years could
we get too much population.
What is the best way to develop it2
That's what I am here for. l want
you to duplicate your Atlanta exhibit.
It will do more good than if shown at
80 southern expositions, because the
people we want to attract won't see It
at southern exposition. He had al
ready printed an address on this ques-
ton to the governors of the southern
States. He hoped the governor OF
South Carolina would make this mat
ter the subject of a special communica.
ton to them. He hoped they would
make generous appropriation for this
purpose. The State would receive the
greatest benefit from it. He did not
know how to impress the magnitude
and the Importance of the matter upon
them. There never was a day when
all the circumstances were more pro-
pitious than now. There never was a
time when there was less sectionalism
than today. The State that failed to
embrace this golden offer of Chicago
would miss grand opportunity to ad-
vance her most vital interests. 1t was
to his mind the most magnificent op-
portunity to advertise to the people Of
the northwest the unrivalled re-
sources of the grand southern country
Everything combined in the south
to produce cotton in the greatest abun-
dance; coal was produced at less cost
than anywhere else; we make pig iron
$6 ton less than anywhere else.
Mr.. Walsh made an eloquent pero.
ration, saying no man living could do
Justice to the subject. God had filled
his cornucopia full and scattered its
contents all over this broad southern
country. The time will come when
these southern States will become the
great and thriving centre of success
full agriculture and of manufacturing
and other industries. It is our mani
fest destiny.
His highest ambition was to do
something to fill up and utilize the
waste places of this great contry until
peace and happiness shall possess this
land. You have it in your hand to-
day to- bring about the grandest re-
suits for your State and people.
As Mr.. Walsh closed there was con-
siderable applause.
Mr.. Magill then offered this resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted
Resolved. That the general assem-
bly, has heard with pleasure and profit

The Cuban Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The con-
ferees of the two houses on the Cuban
resolutions, consisting of Senators

part of the Senate and of Messrs. Hit,
McC Creary and Adams on the part OF
the House, reached conclusion more
speedily and with less diff

duration, and it became apparent inn
mediately that the representatives OF
the Senate would be satisfied with the
House substitute.
Senator Morgan was strongly in IA
vor of that clause of the House reso-
luton which contemplates interven-
ton, declaration which he had sug-
gested should be made when the ques.
ton was before the Senate.
There was mention made of the pos
sibilities of war with Spain as a result
of the action by Congress, and the
exclusive statement concerning the
position of the administration in oppo-
sition to recognition made by the AS.
sociated Press was also the subject OF
some talk.
So far as the House is concerned,
the resolution is closed question for
the present. There will be no more
debate because it is only necessary
for the Secretary of the Senate to re.
port to the House that the Senate con-
ferees have agreed to the House reso-
lutions.
The resolutions agreed upon are as
follows:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of
Congress, a state of public war exists
| in Cuba, the parties to which are enti
tied to belligerent rights, and the
United States should observe strict
neutrality between the belligerents.
Resolved, That Congress deplores
the destruction of life and property
caused by the war now wagiIg in
that island, and believing that the
only permanent solution of the con-
test, equally in the interests of Spain,
the people of Cuba and other nations
would be in the establishment OF a
government by the choice of the peo-
ple of Cuba, it is the sense of Congress
that the government of the United
States should use its good offices and
friendly influence to that end.
Resolved, That the United States
has not interviewed in the struggles
between any European governments
and their colonies on this continent;
but from the very close relations be-
tween the people of the United States
and those of Cuba, in consequence OF
its proximity and the extent of the
commerce between the two people, the
present war is entailing such losses
upon the people of the United States
that Congress is of opinion that the
government of the United States
Should be prepared to protect the ie-
gitimate interests of our citizens, oy

The greatest thing ever conceived to

progress in manufacturing pursuits
He rememb bered when the southern

Mr.. Edward Atkinson on the same

every one in sight. Several Spaniards
were found among the dead. The
mounted guerillas pursued fleeing in
habitants across the fields, shooting at
them or cutting them down with their
sabres. Others rushed into houses,
clubbed women who impeded their
entrance, shot men hiding under beds,
killed one man sick in bed and drag
ged the bodies of their victims out into
the streets. Some of the troops con-
tented themselves with making pris-
oners of all the Cubans they could
find. After pinioning the arms of an
inoffensive citizen behind his back,
his captors marched him to the centre
of the town, clubbing him and making
him shout "Vive Espana, as he went.
The cavalry who killed men running
across the fields brought their bodies
in, carrying them across the horn of d
saddle or dragging them if the dist
ance was short.
The bodies were laid on the ground
in front of the main store. One troop
er who was kicking and splitting at
the body of a man whom he had kill
ed, was stopped by an officer, who
told him not to abuse the dead. One
of the inhabitants of Guatao was Lad
islao Quintera, an American citizen.
He had not been fighting with the in,
surgents and he had no arms. He hid
in his house and though his wife, with
a two months old babe in her arms,

Treasury within the next fiscal year
one hundred thousand dollars, I have
to say that, in my humble judgment,
| it is q manifestation of wisdom on
their part to assume that that amount
will have accumulated within that
time, and they will not be disappoint-
ed in their assumption. I think my
| intimate connection with, and manage
ment of the dispensary for the past
year justifes me in saying that my
prediction of its capabilities and re-
sources should outweigh those of any
other man not officially connected
Herewith. So far as the honorable
State Treasurer's complaints against
those provisions of the proposed new
dispensary law whereby his office will
be made to do certain portions OF the
details of the dispensary business,
have to say that I am in no wise re,
sponsible therefor. On the contrary,
when the suggestions were first made,
opposed them strenuously, purely on
the grounds of unfeasibility and bust
ness impracticabllity. But when
was assured that it was an administra'
ton measure and that the people,
through their representatives, were
disposed to enter upon the experiment,
/ bowed in submission and withdrew
all objections. AS a Reformer from

A Natural Tunnel.

"The natural bridge of Virginia
has always been regarded as a
great wonder, and justly So" said
E. r. Paine of Bo zeman, Mont,
in the Washington Post, "but
there is a far greater one in Idaho
near the Bay Horse mine, which
is known to very few people, and
they have never paid any attention
to it, except to make some exclam-
alton of wonder when they first
saw it. There is tunnel through
a granite mountain. The tunnel
is little over a mile long, is wide
enough for double track rail
road to pass through and is
straight. The walls of this natur-
al tunnel are nearly as even as
they would have been had it been
blasted through by men. OF
course, it has been formed by
erosion, but how is a mystery.
Scientific men can explain any
cave that has an entrance at either
end, but it does not satisfy those
who see it. If railroad should
ever be built through that country
the natural tunnel will be found ex.
ceedingly useful.
