WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Secretary
Olney was before the senate committee
on foreign relations today for a con-
siderable time. All the mem bers ex-
cept Gray and Daniel were present.
The meeting was held for the ex-
press purpose of continuing the dis
cussion of the policy on the Cuban
question to be recommended by the
committee. The meeting was strictly
private, Olney being the only person
not memb Der who was admitted. His
| advice was against precipitate action.
The foreign relations committee, how
ever, agreed to report the Cameron
Cuban resolution.
The Cameron resolution was as
follows:
"Resolved, by the senate and house
of Representatives of the United States
OF America, in congress assembled.
that the independence of the republic
of Cuba be and the same is hereby
acknowledged by the United States of
America.
"Section 2-That the United States
should use its friendly offices with the
government of Spain to close the war
between Spain aud Cuba"
The committee changed the Cameron
resolution so as to make it more en-
phatic. The tit 3 was changed to read,
"A joint resolution acknowledging the
independence of the republic Of Cuba"
the words. "the republic" being in
serted. Instead of declaring that the
United States "should use its friendly
Offices" the resolution was made to
read the United States twill" do so.
Secretary Olney, it is claimed by
members of the committee who favored
the action, did not have any new in
formation to present. Olney urged
that no action be taken at present, and
pointed out that there is no real gov
ernment to recognize.
The agreement to report the Cam
eron resolution was reached imme-
diately after Olney left without divi-
sion or an expressed difference of
opinion. The only division was as to
the time the resolution should be re-
ported to the senate. Cameron moved
its report on Monday next. Sherman
suggested that the report be not put
in until after the the holidays. The
Cameron motion prevailed by large
majority.

CHECKED. BY oLNEY
Congress VIII Not Act Immediately ON


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2O-The state
ment by Secretary Olney of the admin
istration views on the Cameron reso-
luton was read with unusual interest
by members OF the house. Many OF
them declined to express their opin-
ions. as they declined to comment upon
the action of the senate committee in
reporting the resolutions, on the
ground that it might be considered dis
courteous for one branch of the gov
ernment to criticise the course of an
other. 1t was apparent, however, that
Secretary Olney had made an impress
sion upon the house, and several lead
ers on the republican side indorsed his
views.
Whatever disposition the senate
may make of the resolution, it is i'm
probable that the proposition will be
brought before the house this session.
The republican leaders, whose hands
are on the throttle, and who direct the
course OF legislation, will exert all
their influence to prevent the passage
or even the consideration of the prop
osition. 1t is possible that if the sem
ate passed the resolution, the Cuban
enthusiasts in the house would vote to
consider il as soon as it came to the
house, without the formality of refer
ring it to the committee, but without
some action of that nature it is prob
able the committee on rules will not
stand in the way of action. Most MEM
bers predict that if the resolution or
any other prepared to help the Cuban
revolution was put to a vote before the
house, it would be adopted by a large
majority, but many who advance this
prediction express the hope that they
may not be called on to record their
votes. They do not wish to be placed
in the attitude of opposing any struggle
for the establishment of a republic,
yet they do think the reports from
Cuba up to date are too conflicting and
indefinite to justify recognition.

A BENEVOLENT BARON.
His Big Winnings on the Turf Distributed
Among the Poor.


Among the Poor.
Rather more than year since, says
the London Telegraph, we gave list
of the charitable donations bestowed
by Baron de Hirsch in 1898 upon the
hospitals, homes and benevolent insti-
tutions which he had selected as recip-
tents of the large sums of money won
by him upon the turf in public stakes
in 1891 and 1892. In the first of these
years the baron won about S35, 900 and
in the second year about S175,Oo0, in
cluding such small items as moneys
paid to the second in selling races and
the prizes attaching to second and third
places in general races. Altogether
the sum amounted to about $4,000,
and this munifcent gift represented
the baron's gross winnings in public
stakes, from which no deduction was
made for the expense Of training large
stud of horses, for travelling charges,
forfeits, stakes. Jockeys fees and other
items comprised in the large and
swollen bills with which owners Of
race horses are but too familiar. Il
was universally admitted that the for
tunate owner of the famous mare La
Fleche, by whom the greater portion
of the above named large SUM was
won, had displayed great generosity
in giving away all his winnings for
charitable purposes without subtract
ing his expenses. What is to be said,
however, when, as in the present in
stance, the example set by the baron
in 1893 is not only followed but dupli-
Gated in 1894? During the racing sea-
son which close in November last
Baron de Hirschs horses won in public
stakes about s37,5OO This seemed to
him, and to the kindly almoner
through whom in both cases the
baron's bounty has flowed, to be
but q small sum for distribu-
tion IN comparison with the mo-

vent the Cubans from rallying from

Reports are reaching Bryan from the

show that the rain storm that visited
this place yesterday was accompanied
at other places by damaging winds, in
some places developing into the fury OF
the cyclone. lsf
Mr.. Jackson, The mail carrier between
Bryan and jacksonville, reached here
last night with the story Of a terrible
cyclone which he came very near en-
countering yesterday morning. Eight
miles out Of MadisOnyille, aud a little
west Of Hollis, at about o'clock, he
was struck by strong wind, and heard
the roar OF storm ahead Of him,
Driving on, he met some women crying
who told him TO turn back, the whole
country was torn up and everything
blown away ahead Of him. They weF,
left houseless, and were fleeing from
the storm. Further on, he came upon
the track Of the tor nado. Its path wal
three-fourths Of mile wide, and roth.
ingwas left standing In its course. Larg,
trees were twisted of their stumps and
blown sometimes City yards away
Coming to the place which had beer
the home Of a family, Whose names IA,
did not learn he found the dwelling
and every house on the place blown
away, and the husband and wife badl,
injured. None Of the children wen
hurt. but il seemed a miracle that an,
escaped with their lives. Passing Over
Ford's place, he found every outhous
IN ruins, the dwelling considerable,
wrecked. but no one hurt.
Mr.. Jackson left the scenes Of d
storm behind and does not know wha
