ting the house on fire.a week or more ago.
Mrs Wright's home Is but a few rods
from the Pratt house, which had been
unoccupied for several weeks, before Ii
was burned. Wagon tracks about the
house led to an investigation, which re-
suited in ascertaining that Mrs Wright
hired a team of H. P. Warren Che even
ing before the fire. A comparison of foot
prints showed they were made by the
Warren shoes. Two days ago the friends
OF Mrs. Wright sent an agent to this
town to negotiate with Mrs. Pratt, and
offered to restore the stolen property and
pay $4,000 to settle the matter. How much
property was taken Is not known.

What were the Representatives doing

before taking action on subject which
might lead the country into a complloa-
tion, or war with a foreign country.
he believed he was in sympathy with
men any where. trying to gain their
freedom. 1t was strange condition, in
his opinion, when tacit admission
was made in theg republic here, that
with our condition and laws we could
not maintain the liberties Of large pro-
portion of our own people; when the de-
ciaration was made in every contested
election case, that over a large area OF
this country a portion Of its citizens were
denied the most precious rights. 1t was
strange that it was deemed the duty of
the United States to dash across the Gulf
of Mexico and establish and maintain
the freedom OF the mulatto Insurgents in
Cuba
There were no facts here, he said, suff1-
cient to justify the House in adopting
these resolutions. He was free to say
that the administration had not received
facts, which justified the President and
advisers In recognizing a state OF belH-
gerency In Cuba. That belligerent rights
had not been granted to the Cubans was.
in his opinion, ample proof that the
President had no ground upon which to
act. Mr.. Boutelle closed his speech, by
quoting from the documents and writ
iDgs of Con. Grant, Secretary Hamilton
Fish and George Washington to sustain
his contention, that to grant belligerent
rights to the CUBAN insurgents, or to in
terfere with Spain TO secure the indepen-
dence Of the island, at this time, would be
an unwise and unfounded action.
Mr.. Boutelle smoke nearly an hour and
half, and held the attention Of the
House throughout, and was generously
applauded at the close. Mr.. Skinner,
Populist of North Carolina, spoke elo-
quently, in favor of bringing Cuba under
the stars and stripes.
At 5.10 the House took recess until
o'clock.
At the night session the committee of
the whole considered. and recommended
favorable action upon ten private PEN
sion bills. Two Of the bills were passed
in the House. The House then adjourned.
