able, cheaply maintained, and easily

cities cannot be left to the navy alone,
however large, and that a navy equal to
the great navies Of Europe Is unnecessary
and It's cost makes such navy imprac-
ticable. The Senator said that the total
amount appropriated up to date from and
including the third day Of March, 1893,
for the increase of the navy was $1lO,-

TURNED ON HIS JUDGES.

Rev. DR.. Brown Causes a Sensation In
the San Francisco Trial.
AT San Francisco, Rev. G. o. Brown be-
came the accuser of his judges during his
church trial. In an impassioned address
ne charged the moderator, Rev. j. *. Nc
Lean, with deliberate unfairness. He ac-
cused the council of having been preju-
diced against him and of having admitted
testimony which had no proper place be-
fore the court. Partisans of the accused.
pastor applauded his words and hundreds
opposed to him stamped their approval of
the action taken by the council. In the
midst of the hubbub, X. G. MILAN, whose
name has been disagreeably connected by
DIR. Brown with that of Mrs. Stockton,
jumped to the platform and in threatening
words and actions denounced the pastor.
The excited visitor was induced to retire,
and when quiet was restored DIR. Brown
was ordered to make specific charges. He
did so and the council not only declined to
investigate them, but adopted unani-
nous vote of confidence in the moderator.
While the excitement was at its height
Mrs. Brown attempted TO persuade her
husband to cease his attack. but he turned
quickly and replied: II may as well make
it now, for i am gone anyway.

left the army. The leaders of the various
branches throughout the United States
asked him to take charge of an independ-
ent army, saying that if he did so the
American army would secede from the
British or parent organization. This
Booth refused to do. Thus the army re-
mains intact, but there is no love for the
British authorities and a mutiny may
occur at any time. Eva Booth, sister or
Darlington and daughter of Gen. William
Booth, the head of the universal army OF
Salvationists, is temporarily in command
of the American army. She will remain
in charge until the arrival here of Com
missioner Booth Tucker and his wife, who
have been appointed to succeed Mr.. and
Mrs. Ballington Booth as commanders OF
the American forces.
The trouble began about a month ago,
when Gen. William Booth issued an order
relieving the commanders in the United
States, France, Canada, Australia and
India and ordering them all to report in
London in April. The news greatly sur
prised the army in America. For nine
years Ballington Booth had been in COM
mand here. He had found the army weak
and struggling, despised and ridiculed.
He put his whole soul and energy into the
of high education, great personal mag
netism and undoubted ability. She shared
equally his labors and while he dealt with
the men she organized the famous slum
corps and inaugurated wonderful relig-
ious work among the outcast women. The
Booths found here an army of 6,0O0 per-
sons. They have to-day disciplined sue
cessful body Of more than 10000 men and
women who are labOring night and day
to save souls. They have acquired prop
erty and public support. They have made
the Salvation army recognized as one of
the most powerful forces for Christianiz-
ing work in this country.
Darlington Booth loves America. He
was born an Englishman. but he rcpudi-
ated his native land. This country be-
came to him more precious than the home
of his fathers. He planned TO pass the
rest of his life here in the great religious
work he had undertaken. He became
naturalized citizen Of the United States,
and his wife, the daughter of an English
clergyman, did the same. This was the
condition of affairs last fall, when Gen.
William Booth, his father, arrived in New
York on the tour around the world which
he has not yet finished. The old man saw
that the army was becoming an American
army. 1t was growing away from the
English traditions. Ballington Booth
had found it impossible to do successful
work here under the methods employed
in England and had made it an American
institution.
The officers of the army throughout the
United States assert that the other Booths
are jealous of Ballington's success, and

when the final vote was taken, passing
the resolutions which were intended not
only to recognize the bellgerent rights of
the Cuban patriots, but also to express
the sentiment of Congress that the time
had come when Spain should grant indie
pendence to the island, either voluntarily
or by the armed Intervention of the Uni
ted States.
Early in the afternoon, says Washing
ton correspondent, the sentiment among
the Senators themselves apparently rose
to fever heat, and it was easy to see that
Cuba after many long delays had its day
in court. The resolutions which were
passed not only recognize the fact that
there is state of war existing in the
Island of Cuba. but also in effect sug-
gest that the friendly Offices of the Uni
ted States should be offered by President
Cleveland 70 the Spanish Government in
the direction of securing the independence
of Cuba.
No one doubted that when the Senate
finally got to work there would he prac-
tically unanimous sentiment in favor of
the Cuban insurgents, but recent events
have FASTENED matters considerably, and

The House Monday In committee OF
the whole, by a vote of 93 to "a, decided
that none of the appropriations on the III
dian appropriation bill for Indian schools
should 60 to sectarian schools. The mat
ter caused a warm debate. The senate
showed considerable interest In Cuban al
fairs. and circumstances attending recent
bond issues, but nothing of Importance
was done.
The Senate, by a vote of 80 to -, de-
feated the tariff bill Tuesday. The House
passed the Indian appropriation bill, the
sixth of the thirteen general appropria-
ton bills, and sent it to the Senate. The
House also passed without debate the
Dingley bill authorizing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to take and kill the Alaskan
seal herd if modus yiyendi could not be
concluded before the opening of the pres
ent season for the protection of the seals
pending negotiations for permanent pro-
lection of the herds with the countries
interested. After several bills Of local inn
portance had been passed Mr.. Johnson,
chairman of Elections Committee No. z,
called up the contested election case OF
Van Horn against Tarsney from the Fifth
Missouri district. The House adjourned
without taking any action.
The Senate was again the scene Of
stormy debate Wednesday, all occasioned
by the bolt of the Republican silver Sen
ators on the tariff question. The Cuban
question received slight attention. The
Van Horn-Tarsney contested election case
from the Kansas City, No., district occu-
pied the attention of the House, but was
unsettled. The Senate amendments to
the House bill to extend the time in which
the Government under the act Of 1891 can
bring suits to annul patents to lands in
railroad and wagon grants were agreed to-
One of the Senate amendments reduces
the extension from five to one year.
Both House and Senate on Thursday
did little but get enthusiastic over Cuba.
Reports of slaughter by Gen. Weyler of
peaceful citizens in Havana, the seizure
of the steamer Bermuda within the three
mile limit in New York harbOr, and fiery
speeches in both branches in favor of
recognizing Cuban independence, all sery-
ed to arouse the greatest enthusiasm. 1t
is predicted that this Government will
soon act, and that instead of simple bel
ligerency, the actual independence of the
island will be acknowledged. The House
unseated Tarsney, of Missouri in favor of
Van Horn, Republican. In the Senate
the bill was passed for the construction
of two steam revenue cutters to cost not
to exceed $250,0O0 each, for use on the
Pacific coast. The army appropriation
bill carrying $23,2I9,0O0 was also passed.
Cuba had her day in. the Senate Fri
day, when that body by large majority
passed concurrent resolutions favoring the
granting Of belligerent rights. The incl
dent was attended by unusual excitement
and enthusiasm, and at any expression
favoring the insurgents the chamber was
in an uproar. The whole day in the
House was spent in the consideration of
the Legislative appropriation bill and
considerable progress was made.

Benefit of Weather Bureau.

Chief Moore, of the weather bureau, has
made a special report to the Secretary of
Agriculture with reference to the actual
money value of cold-wave warnings to the
people of this country, with special refer
ence TO the cold wave of Jan. 2 to 3 Of the
present year. That was one of unusual
severity, spreading over the entire country
east of the Rocky Mountains, with the ex-
ception of the southern portion of Florida.
At every weather bureau station through
out this region the cold-wave flag was dis
played, and the warnings were distributed
at least twentyfour hours before the cold
wave occurred. Reports received from
1O2 stations indicate that these warnings
were directly instrumental in saving from
destruction property exceeding $500, 900
in value. This estimate takes no account
of the property saved as the result of these
warnings distributed from the weather
bureau stations to thousands of small
towns and cities from which it has been
impossible to obtain reports. The largest
saving reported was by owners and ship
pers of perishable produce. Water pipes
were protected in factories, residences and
public buildings, the size of trains regu-
lated by railroad officials, while florists
and agriculturists protected their hot
houses. Reports of direct benefits were
received from fuel dealers, owners of ice
harvesters, farmers and stock Elisers,
river men and business men generally.
