DETECTED HIMSELF.

The horse and buggy stolen yester'
day from Mr.. H. Phelps, from in front
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, was recovered last night in
rather a novel manner. Mr.. August
Santleben's two sons were coming
down North Flores street and met a
man driving the horse and buggy,
near Belcia's drug store. AS he saw
them he turned the horse into side
street and in doing so upset the bug.
gy. The boys ran to help him, but he
becoming frightened, picked himself
up and ran away, leaving the rig.
They Immediately telephoned to police
headquarters and held the horse and
buggy till an officer took charge.
They proved to be the stolen prop
erty.

THE NATIONAL HOUSE.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-House.
The reported assassination of Maceo
and it's effect on the attitude of this
country toward the Cuban revolu-
tionists was almost the sole topic of
conversation on the floor before the
house met today and there was gen.
eral expectation that some radically
sensational resolutions would be in
troduced. No resolution, however,
was offered in open session. Dingley,
chairman Of the ways. and means
committee, presented concurrent res
olutions for holiday recess from Tues
day, Dec. %, until Tuesday, January
9Th. The resolution was adopted
without division.

Long March Across sIber,a.

A remarkable march of 4,70o miles
across Siberia, occupying almost a year,
has just been completed by two Russian
battalions of line infantry and two bat
teries of artillery, which lately reached
their camp on the Amur. The troops
marched 1000 versts by land and made
their way for 5000 versts by water, half
the distance on RATS constructed by
themselves. Their losses were six men
dead, 81 left behind in hospitals, and 30
horses. The others arrived in good con-
dition and excellent spirits.
