DEVOTED TO CUBA.
The Senate Spends Another Day on the
Recognition Resolutions,

The Senate Spends Another Day on the
Recognition Resolutions,
Washington, March 19-Cuba had
the entire attention Of the Senate to-
day. Speeches were made by Senators
Gray, Chiffon and Caffery, the debate
being enlivened by many spirited incl
dents. Mr.. Gray's plea for Cuba
brought on a running cross-fire of COM
ment and inquiry from Mr.. Hale. The
Delaware Senator caused much amuse-
ment by referring to Mr.. Hale as "the
Senator from Spain" A fierce and
vigorous contribution to the debate
came from Mr. Chiffon. of Texas, who
has seldom addressed the Senate. He
urged that there was abundant work
at home to occupy the attention of Con-
gress instead of enlisting in humanitar-
ianu crusades abroad, with their posi-
bilities of war. Mr.. Caffery also oppOs-
ed the Cuban resolutions. Senators
Palmer, Mills, Platt and some others
are yet to be heard on the resolutions,
and no time for vote has been fixed.

in the bucket seemed to have the ef-

started from their sockets and the cold

said the native, who had evidently not
been educated in the science Of bac-

The lady tried toexplain that the yel-
low specks were the roofs Of the taro,
which sometimes get into the poi when
the tubers are too closely scraped. This
was beyond the comprehension Of tbs
man. and the lady was kbout to give
up when young native stepped forth
and, tapping his fellow-countryman on
the shoulder, launched forth in the fol-

"All the poi in this place has been
cooked. If those are germs, they are
dead ones, for the doctors tell us cook
ing will kill germs. Now, then, you
will have no trouble after eating that

"Oh. all right" said the native, and

The origin Of sugar.

4Who invented, or discovered sugar p
is q question that was recently asked
in Germany, and the answer given was
that sugar has been known since the
dawn of history, but not In all coun
tries. The Chinese appear to have de-
lighted their palates with sugar for
more than 1900 years, and it was known
In India earlier than in Europe, being
made from juicy reed OF cane. One
of Alexander the Greats generals car
ricd sugar to Greece in the year 325 b.
c., az Sir Walter Raleigh, some 1000
years later, carried tobacco from vir-
ginia to England. But even SO late az
$50 A. d. sugar was still rarity in
Greece. The famous physician Galen
used IL as remedy for certain mall
aides. Recent experiments show thas
sugar has remarkable sustaining power
when eaten by those undergoing great
fatigue. The invention of the first
process for refining sugar is ascribed
to the Arabs, and n Venetian merchant
is said to have purchased the secret
from them, and introduced the proc
ess in Sicily. The refining Of sugar
was first practiced in England about

BRYAN IN VIRGINIA.
He Makes Short Speeches on His
WAY to Washington.

Fredericksburg, Va, Sept. 19-In an
ordinary day coach of the Richmond
Fredericksburg & Potomac railway.
William Jennings Bryan continued his
trip through Virginia this morning. He
left Richmond at o'clock en- route for
Washington. A speech of 80 minutes
was made at Fredericksburg and short
addresses were given at some smaller
towns along the line. FredericIsburg
the home Of the mother of Washington
sent a reception committee of nine to
escort the candidate to their city.
At Fredericksburg Mr.. Bryan was
driven to the Exchange hotel, where he
tried to rest, but in reality held an in
formal reception till IL o'clock. Then
he was taken to the Washington mon
ument, where he made an address to a
large crowd. He was then driven to
the residence of Mayor W. S White
where he dined. At 1:50 O'Clock he
took the train for Washington. His
first address today was at Ashland
where the train stopped two minutes,
and was as follows:
Il believe this county claims the
honor of being the birthplace of two
of Americas greatest men, Henry Clay,
the mill boy of the slaShes, was born
in this county, as was also Patrick
Henry. I believe the policy for which
I stand in this campaign, in some re-
men Henry Clay in 1845 described the
effect of contracting the currency and
Patrick Henry was in favor of an
American policy" (Applause.)
At Milford Mr.. Bryan attempted to
make a short address, but the train
pulled out before he could get the crowd
quieted.
