Washington, March 1.-THE House
to-day passed the postolIice appropria-
tion bill. which has been under cOnsid-
Grafton since last Friday. The feature

Harrison and Morton is the Latest Com
bination Suggested
Indianapolis, Ind. March 11.-Politi-
cal circles became very animated when
W. 5. Manning, of Albany. \. Y. ar
rived here and announced that he came
for the purpose of saying to the Repub-
licans that New York was not for Nor
ton and that there would be large
element of Republicans i'm that State
for Mckinley. Manning had heard that
Switzerland, Baxter and Alexander
were here, and he came on expressly
to cOunteract their influence with the
Indiana Republicans.
The Harrison men began to talk oDen-
ly to-day of the old ticket. and TO pre-
dict that Harrison and Morton would
be nominated at ST. Louis. When ask
ed what he thought of the suggestion.
Mr. Switzerland said that stranger
things than that had happened in con
ventiOns and inimated that such a
thing was within the probabilities. The
suggestion has produced much enthusi-
asm among Harrison S friends. and they
are working like Trojans to prevent the
State from giving any instructions for
Mckinley.

Washington, March 1.-THE Cuban
debate in the Senate has advanced TO
the stage of one Of the great debates of
the American Congress. and the speech
to-day Of Senator Hoar was another
eventful feature of the discussion.
In this debate the Senators had the
crowded galleries at high tension by
such stirring themes as war, patriotism
and liberty
Senator Hoar's speech was notable in
setting forth the conservative view Of
the subject. and urging a postponement
of action until April g. This developed
many sharp controversies with Mr..
Sherman and other Senators. In the
main the speech was a plea for calm,
dignifed and judicial action, instead OF
the excitement and disorder OF the mob
and the impassioned speech of orators.
Mr.. Hoar characterized his colleague,
Mr.. Sherman. as one of the great states
men of the country, whose name would
90 down in history, along with that OF
Lincoln. Grant. Seward, Fish, and his
inustrious brother. and he besought the
Ohio Senator not to obliterate this bril-
liant record by hasty and unguarded
action on the Cuban question.
Mr.. Hoar did not confne himself to
Cuba. but spoke against congressional
meddling in any foreign negotiation.
In this connection he paid a glowing
tribute to Secretary Olney, and while
differing with him politically Mr.. Hoar
said the Secretary of State was clear
headed. old-fashioned Yankee, who
could be safely trusted with our for
eign negotiations. The Senator added
a like tribute TO the sincerity of Pres
ident Cleveland in dealing with the
Venezuelan question, and declared that
any action by Congress attacking the
Presidents course would be an attack
upon America. Mr.. Hoar's resolution
for postponement lost its parliamentary
status at o'clock and went to the
calendar. Mr.. Sherman announcing
that from this time forward he would
press the privileged question-the con-
ference report accepting the House
Cuban resolutions.

New York, March IA cable dis
patch from General VIM. Booth has
been received at Salvation headpuar-
ters. 1t is the first public utterance Of
the paternal head of the army since
the dissensiOns began. Two days ago
the general arrived in London from the
East, and Immediately had a confer
ence with his eldest son, Bramwell,
after which the dispatch was written.
1t was read from the platform at the
Holiness meeting" at headquarters.
Commissioner Eva Booth began to
read the document to the audience,
from which all save Salvation
lists had been excluded, but became so
overcome by emotion when she read
about the family love which has Sub
sisted" among the Booths until now,
that she called upon one of her officers
to finish for her.
This is the dispatch, which is dated
International Headquarters, London,
England:
Comrades
Il find it impossible TO describe the
sense of sorrow with which l am over
whelmed to-day On receiving details of
the great loss which has fallen upon us
in the action of my son, your late COM
mander, every high anticipation of my
heart for him for nearly forty years
seems TO have been swept away, and
every tender association of his life with
my own and with his beloved mothers s
seems likely to be trampled under foot
in this hour Of his sore temptation.
THE melancholy course of action
which he has embarked has been taken
in the face OF the eXpostulations of the
chief of staff, in spite of the affection
ate entreaties of his brother and one
sister, and one of my most trusted Of
tcers, sent expressly to New York to
reason with him, without any commu-
nicatiOn with me of any kind and in
utter disregard of three telegraphic
messages from myself urging him to
meet me in London on my return from
India, to which cables have not even
received reply.
But, though sOrely wounded by this
calamity, | more than ever resolved N
the strength of God. to direct the gov
ernment of this army upon the princi-
pies of equal justice between man and
man.
Il have never permitted the close re-
lationships of family love, which have
subsisted between me and my children,
to secure for them any preference in
the affairs of the kingdom of God over
their comrades who, though not blood
relations. have ever been dear to me for
their works sake. l will not do so.
Your welcome to my daughter,
Commissioner Eva, in her temporary
command, has much gratified me.
Every sensible man must recognize
that if had been willing to retain the
loyalty of my son by sacrificing the
principles of the army, l should have
at the same moment lost, and deserved
ly so, the confidence and esteem of all
honest-hearted men, as well as the ap-
prOval of my own conscience.
THE suggestion that l had sought to
Anglicise the army in the United States
is at once a falsehoOd and a calumny.
You, who have heard me plead the
claims of the lost world, know it Is.
You have stood with me near the cross
and YOU know that under the shadow of
that tree | have pledged you to devote
your life to no less purpose than that
for which the bleeding victim died
the salvation OF every human SOUL
