nlination as to the need of the president
signature TO a resolution. Morgan said ne
approached this question reluctantly, but
that the committee on foreign relations
had found itself confronted by a large
mass of petitions. and had felt ii TO be in
cumbent upon II TO take some action IL
was necessary 10 either report adversely
or fayorably and he would say here what
he had said in the committee. that he con-
templated war at the end of whatever ac-
ton the United States might take, not
that Spain would be justified in resentlng
any interference, but because of the feel
ing entertained by Spain toward this
country. He also said that he believed that
Spain would be under obligations To this
country for action which would provoke
hostilities. The letters which Spain had
fastened upon the limbs of Cuba in the he
ginning were rctting away, and IL this reso-
luton does not free Cuba the next OF the
next will. Spain knows and feels this. and
would rather lose Cuba while i'm conflict
with the United States than to lose in
any other way. Spain. he contended, had
no legitimate excuse TO hold Cuba after
hfexico. Venezuela and the Central Amcri-
can countries had achieved their independ-
euce, and Cuba would have achieved her
independence at the same time that the
other countries did but for the existence of
slavery. Now the circumstances were diff
ferent, and the very slaves are engaged
with their former masters in the night for
liberty.
Morgan did not conclude his speech. say
ing he would 20 on another day, as there
were many points connected with the ques-
ton which he wanted TO touch upon at

American Agriculturist.
The goat receives much more attention
as domesticated animal in Europe than
In America. In many parts of this coun-
try one might spend a lifetime without
seeing a goat, bat among our trans
atlantic. cousins they are kept for milk
or trained to draw children carriages
While In many a large stable grave and
stately billy is found on terms OF
friendly acquaintance with both horses
and grooms. The goats of England are
not the dainty white Angoras which have
been so largely bred In the United States
and in the British Cape Colony for mo-
hair. but are the so-called native" goats
with an occasional Nubian, Toggenburg
or other example of foreign breed Goat
breeding pursued with much spirit in
England. and the British goat society
has on the rolls of its membership many
names which are widely known At the
annual shows Of the British Dairy Farm
ers' Association. held in the Royal Agri-
cultural hall, London. liberal prizes are
offered for goats, and the classes are well
filed At the last Of these dairy shows
the number OF entries in these classes
was sixty-eight. against twenty-five the
previous year. The champion medal was
awarded 10 the milking goat White
Queen. owned and entered by MIR r. Wal
Ter. OF London. The first on goatIiags
under two years was awarded to White
Reese a daughter of the champion White
Queen, and the second to Heather Lassie,
a cross-bred Toggenburg. White Rose
was pronounced To be the finest goat for
size and weight that has ever been shown
Among other exhibitors. the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts was measurabiy success
full three of her entries being famed as
highly commended The magnitude and
quality of the display of goats at the
great national show. no less than the
social eminence Of some OF the ladies'
and gentlemen who exhibited, both testi-
~ to the popularity which goat breeding
has attained In Great Britain.
