Wnen small sum WAS sought for the
widowed mother of poor page who had
died in office without money enough to
take his body home to his mother.
Although more influential in this Con-
gress than.in the 51st, MIR. Cannon can
not be said to show up to so great advan-
tage as in those days of turmoil. One
glance at his rugged features-he himself
says that he is not beautiful-ttlls that
he is an old soldier of the line. who
shows off to best advantage in battle.
Those who knew the 51st Congress can
have but one recollection of Mr.. Cannon
they must in their minds eyes see him
standing in the front Republican line,
facing the shouting or jeering Democratic
side, swinging his arms in forceful ges
lures not taught by any school of ora
tory, and pouring hot shot into his foes
without regard to what they might send
in return. The Democrats never drove
him from the field, or poured enough shot
into him to make him any the less ready
to plunge into the combat on the next
day.
Mr.. Cannon's strength in his own
state was demonstrated after the tidal
wave of 1891. He had represented his dis
trict seventeen years; but was swept un-
der in the election which wiped out so
many members of the 51st Congress. 1t
might have been expected that his people
WOblu udpC uo Chou AiO AiNA OhJoy Oo
their confidence long enough. But they
promptly returned him to the next Con-
gress and are talking now of sending
him to the United States Senate.
Like most mon who rise to high places
in the House, Mr.. Cannon is not devoid
of humor One day the House was dis
cussing the act of an auditor of the treas
ury who by his ruling had suspended
some function of the government, and
considering a resolution to set the matter
Alright. "IJ seems to me-, said Mr..
Cannon, THAT it is proper enough to pass
this resolution if we must do SO; but in
giving my assent, as enc member of the
House, to its enactment, / want to say
that this is not by any means the first
time that technical rulings Of the Comp
troller have had to be overcome by 1egis-
lation, the result being consumption of
time without any profit or saving to the
Treasury. My father was coming up the
Mississippi River on little stern wheel
steamboat, wheE out there came from
the bank two boys in skif, pulling
forsdosr life and hallooing with all their
might Finally tie steamboat was stop
ped Whats the matter?' cried the mate.
The little fellows turned around and
started back to the bank exclaiming,
Stopped steamboat, by jingop Laugh
ter So this Comptroller seems to have
stopped a steamboat in this case, and
no doubt he will keep on at it. y

CUBANS ARE GAINING.
Maceo is Now Said to Have the Largest
Force-A Strict Censorship.

Havana, January 30.-Maco is said to
have the largest force now and also pIen-
ty of ammunition.
The censorship is absolute. 1t is i'm
possible to cable the truth under present
arrangements. The only matters allowed
to go are highly colored accounts of bat
ties, rebel defeats and rebel atrocities.
The battles prove to be mere skirmishes
the defeats fail to stop the rebel ad-
vance. and the atrocities are never COM
mitted. The rebels preserve strict disci-
pline and hang camp followers if the
latter commit crimes.
On the other hand the withdrawal of
Campos is followed bv reports that Span
ish volunteers hare already begun shoot
ing suspects.
