TUESDAY. JAN. 81.

In the Sennte, Mr.. Call Fla, d. presented
new phase Of the Cuban question. He read
q telegram from Key West. as follows:
Marquee Rodriguez was taken from the
steamer Olivette last "Wednesday. Louis Samal-
lion and son were taken at Havana. All are
American citizens. Get them out of the grasp
OF Spanish authorities"
Mr.. Call offered resolution reciting the
arrests and directing the executive authorities
80 ascertain if any just cause for the arrest
existed, and if not, to demand their immediate
release
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the tone of the reso-
tuition was too imperative. There seemed to be
an idea that the Senate Of the United States
is constantly loaded cannon, which can be
toucbed of at any time by q Senator. The
Senator urged ar inquiry of the State Depart
ment before demand.
Several Senators engaged IN argument and
the resolution finally went to the Foreign Re-
kations Committee.
Among the pension bills passed were those
for the sister of President Grant Helen Dent
widow OF Col. Dent; for the widows of Rear
admiral English, Maj.-Gen. Carroll Lieut..
schwatka, the Arctic explorer, and Brevet
Brig-Gen. Doubleday.
The bridge legislation included bills for
bridges over the Mississippi at St. Louis
Among the other bills passed were measures
for an equestrian statue TO Gen. John Starke
at Manchester. n. H.; recOnvening the Inter
national Marine Conference Of 1889; and pro-
tecting sesmen's wages from evies.
10 the House, the Committee Of the Whole
took up the consideration Of the urgent def
cheney bill.
Mr. Cannon, Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, in charge OF the bill, made state
ment to the deficiencies provided for in the
bill, which aggregated S4,4l5,922. He called
especial attention 10 the enormous sum of
$3,2s2,5s2 for the expenses OF United States
Courts. which showed an abnormal growth of
this branch of the public service of more than
100 per cent. There was, he declared, urgent
necessity for reform.
The bill was passed with amendments

propriated was S449,547, which was $17l, 422
less than the estimates, and $l4,714 less than

passed without substantial amendment.

him enuncisting the Monroe Doctrine. twas
read from the desk receiving close attention.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away with

severe pain. There Is no let-up to the

poison and thus end all his troubles But
proydential inspiration came to his aid
in the shape of a combination of medi-
cines that not only completely rsetored
his general health, but enlarged his
weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vlgor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the pre-

ITS SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED
Results of the Hawkins Process
Are Satisfactory.
IT'S THE FIRST GREAT STRIDE
Mr.. Skaggs Talks GuardedIyt but There Is
Much in His lntimations to Excite In
terest and Enthusiasm.

The manufacture of steel in Birming-
ham will mark a new era in our indus
trial development. 1t is well known that
pig iron can be made at less cost in the
Birmingham district than at any other
point in the world. This theory was ad-
vanced several years ago by Sir Low
noted iron makers.
But it is no longer theory. The claim
has been demonstrated by practical ex-
perience.
The next important question is the
manufacture of finished products and a
home market for our pig iron. Steel OF
good quality was made at the Jefferson
steel plant several years ago, but the
capacity of the plant was limited and
tbs cost of production left no profit. A
little more than year ago Mr. Eugene
f. Enslen stated in an interview with
the Chicago lnter-Ocean that Birming-
ham furnaces, particularly those of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany, had made such progress in the
manufacture of low silicon iron that
the next step should be in the direction
of steel making.
Some four months ago Mr.. w. H.
Skaggs returned to Birmingham with
Mr.. f. w. Hawkins, the inventor of a
new and practical process for steel
making. A contract was made with Mr..
Enslen for the use of this process at the
Jefferson steel plant. Work was at once
begun and the experimental plant was
completed some two weeks ago. The
first run was made more than week
ago. Favorable results were obtained,
but the furnace was shut down for a few
days in order to make some necessary
changes. The second run was made last
Thursday. There are conflicting reports
as to the result, but the parties interest
ed express themselves as well pleased.
To a reporter of the State Herald Mr..
Skaggs, who represents the parties who
own the patent, said: II am not in po-
stion to give very much information at
this time. l have been in constant tele-
graphic communication with Chicago
parties and am expecting several promi-
nent people in the steel business from
that city within the next few days. So
soon as they arrive 1 will be in a posi-
ton to make public a report which L
think will be of interest to Birmingham.
MIR. Enslen, who owns the Jefferson Steel
company, has invested considerable mon
ey in this business. L think he has under
consideration a proposition which means
a great deal for Birmingham. but 1 am
not authorized to speak for llim."

That So-CaIed Semi-0fficia Announcem emit
Has Raised Storm of Protest-A
Possible Explanation.

London, Sept. 1S.-The so-called semi
official communication published in all
the morning newspapers setting forth
that the government wishes it to be I'M
derstood that England is acting In COM
plete accord with the other powers in
Turkey; that Great Britain will not at
tempt to punish Turkey for the outrages
committed upon Christians unless the
powers assist her, etc., turns out to be a
Reuter- news agency dispatch, which be-
gins: This agency understands" etc.,
and the afternoon papers are inquiring
what grounds there are for any such IN
Outstanding.
Pursuing the subject. the Star demands
to know what authority there is for such
declaration, and the Westminster Ga
zette says: IF the declaration Is true
the situation as far as Great Britain is
concerned has undergone most depress-
ing change. If the declaration Is true it
is painful confession, and the word
impotent' should be written upon the
face of Great Britain in characters so
large that no nation can fail to read
them.
AN explanation of the alleged semi

Lord Salisbury has pursued the policy of
protesting against the barbaric methods
OF the sultan until it has brought him to
