New York. Dec. 1S-There was great re-
joicing among Cubans and Cuban SYM

struggling Cubans during the incumbency

house Will pass the resolutions and eX-
press hopes that Mr.. Cleveland will no
longer oppose the sentiment which is be-
ing manifested in all parts of this country
in favor Of the recognition of the inde-
pendence of the Cuban republic.

IVES VIRGINIANS HERE
Speculation as to the Precise Nature of Their
Business.
Report That They Want the United
States District Attorney and His
Assistant Removed.

Several prominent West virginians ap-
peared simultaneously in this city today,
and considerable speculation Is being in
dulged in as to the precise nature of their
business at the national capital. The party
included Gen. Golf. Mr.. Malcolm johnson,
Judge c. P. Snyder and Gen. Caldwell.
each of whom is more less prominently
identified with the sound money campaign
in the mountain state They did not come
together. but managed to meet while here.
One story is that they came here to ar
range for ex-President Harrisons visit to
Charleston next Thursday. where he has
promised to make an address on the issues
of the day. If this is so it is probable that
the distinguished Indianian will stop here
a short time en- route.
Another and more probable explanation
Of their visit is that they desire to impress
upon the Attorney General and other ofii-
GERS Of the administration in this city the
great desirability Of making a prompt
change in the offices of United States dis
trict' attorney and assistant district attor-
ney in West Virginia. which offices are now
held by Stuart w. Walker and James H.

Reasons for Believing the Philippine
Revolt to Be a Grave Event.


Revolt to Be a Grave Event.
From the Spectator.
The instruction in the Philippines may
prove even greater blow to Spain than
the insurrection in Cuba They are twice
as far off, they have never been thorough
ly subdued far less civilized; they contain
tribes which have often fought desperately
against Spanish misgovernmert, and they
are threatened by foe, who, though not
as strong as the United States. is proba-
bly, stronger at sea than Spain, who Is far
who. instead Of any langud desire that
the Philippines should be free, has pas
sionate desire for their possession.
The Japanese believe that they must find
cation will perish for want of land to sup
port their growing population. and as they
have lost Corea and cannot obtain Aus
tralia, which, according to their j.1goes, il
their natural place of expansion, they have
fixed their regard on the Philippines, which
lie, as it were. in sight. which are thinly
populated, which are gloriously fertile,
though liable, like Japan itself, to earth
quakes, and the area of which. If a con-
quest could once be effected would almost
exactly double the area of the island en-
pire.
They posses already in Formosa the half
way house to the Philippines, and they
believe that at sea they can easily defeat
the Spaniards. They have Of late years
been quietly pouring japanese emigrants
into some of the islands. and there is
trustworthy authority for the statement
that recently. at Moscow, Marshal Yama-
gaia assured American representatives of
the adhesion Of Japan In any war with
Spain. adding that his government would
cheerfully expend f40,OO0.0OO to secure such
an acquisition.
With the Japanese on fire at what they
consider their unjust and humiliatnR e1-
pulsion from Corea. with the executive
of Toxic dreading the radical tone of mar
lament, and with Marquis Ito defeated
because he Is not sufficiently Chauvtnist,
| we cannot but regard this danger as a most
serious one for Spain.

WAITED THIRTY YEARS.
Wisconsin Woman Found Her Son
Through the Agency of Music.
From the PauI Pioneer Press


Through the Agency of Music.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A romantic and pathetic story has just
come to light at Fond du Lac, Wis. that
of a loving mother searching patiently for
her lost son for over thirty years. 1t is
one of the many romances which the
strange complications Of slavery days
made possible. James H. Harris, colored.
lives at 2626 Mills street, St. Louis, and
runs a barber shop in the West End. Be
fore the war Mr.. Harris who Is now about
forty years of age lived with his mother
and two older sisters on a plantation in
Tennessee. about 100 miles back of Mem
phis. Their family name was taken from
the master of the plantation, as was the
custom. He treated his servants kindly,
but when the war broke out he enlisted
aid the plantation went to pieces The
nesrCes were scattered. and Martha, with
ner children, made a break for freedom.
She got passage up the river as a chamber
maid on a steamboat, but at one of the
landings she lost her boy. The boat went
on. and she never knew whether the child
had fallen overheard whether he had
been lost on land. She left the boat near
Cairo, and time went she gradually
worked her way Eorthward, until she
reached Fond du Lac. One of her daugh-
tiers died, but she and the remaining child
accumulated a little fortune. They bought
themselves a home here and settled. AS
her circumstances became better, the
In the summer of 'a3 she insisted on going
to the Columbian exposition at Chicago.
Il will find him there" she said.
In the meantime the boy mad skirmished
for himself. and. following a natural gif.
had become quite musician. He went 10
st. Louis and learned barbering In his
leisure moments he played the banjo and
violin. He began to write music and sew
eral Of his compositions were accepted for
the exhibit in the colored peoples depart
ment Of the Columbian exposition.
Her mothers 2resentiment was to come
true. She was a close observer and had
also learned to read Nothing in the col
cred peoples display at the fair escaped
her eyes. One day she found her sons
rame on a piece Of music. She read the
letters. James H. Harris and declared
at cnce that she had found him. The name
was a common one and her daughter urged
her not to be too sure. She wrote inlme-
diately to ST. Louis. however. Not knowing
the street number she dispatched several
letters in vain. Last June one of the let
tiers reached Mr.. Harris. He could not be-
lieve it, for he thought his m other was
dead. AT first he imagined it was scheme
OF some persons to eXtort money from him,
but another letter came soon, telling him
incidents of his childhood which convinced
him that it was indeed his mother. He
came to Fond du Lac and there was hap
Ply reunion. He gave his mother his pic
ture, and she is now content, since she has
seen him and knows he Is alive. Mr.. Har-
ris returned to St. Louis a couple of days
ago.

Executive Clemency.

The President has granted a pardon to
Patrick Clifford sentenced in Missouri to
five years Imprisonment for breaking into
a post office, upon the statement Of the
district attorney who prosecuted the case,
ana now expresses his confident belief in
the innocence of the prisoner. For the same
reason, he has also pardoned Barney Burns,
who convicted. with Clifford, of the
same offense. The ten years sentence i'm
posed in the case of Jas. Carroll, convic ted
in the District of Columbia of housebreak-
ing, has peen committed to four years i'm
prisonment. with all deductions for good
conduct. The President says clemency is
granted in this case in recognition of the
services OF the convict in caring for the
sick at the Albany county penitentary dur
ing 4 visitation of contagious disease, and
on account of his good conduct in all other
respects during his imprisonment. The
President says he is quite willing to en-
courage the convict in his apparent deter
mination to reform by indicating to him
that Eaeritorious behavior Is not overlooked
nor disre garded
