But the Cuban Question Was
Warmly Discussed.
NEW PHASES PRESENTED
The Spanish Minister Vigor-
ously Rebuked.
FOR SOME RECENT uTTERANcEs
Senator Teller Thinks that Repetition
of His Criticisms of the Senate
Ought TO Be Followed by
DievoioeaI
Dismissal.

Washington, March 10.-The crowds
which filed the Senate galleries to-day
in anticipation of an exciting Cuban
debate were not disappointed. 1t is a
theme which seems to gather force and
fire as it proceeds.
To-day two new phases of the subject
made their appearance and each afford
ed a dramatic debate which aroused
Senators and spectators to high stage
of interest and excitement. The main
question-on the adoption of the House
Cuban resolutions-was not reached or
mentioned, as the new phases occupied
all the time up to 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Lodge, of MassachUscttS, arose
to question of personal privilege and
in vigorous words rebuked the Spanish
Minister, Depuy de LONE, for his re-
cent criticisms of Senators. Senator
Teller added his opinion that a repeti-
ton of the Minister'S action should
be followed by his dismissal. Senators
Gray and Hale maintained that Sena-
torial privilege and prerogative should
not be strained to close the mouth of
the Spanish Minister. Mr.. Lodge did
uOb press lot any u6lulIG dCb1Oil'
The incident was hardly closed when
the subject came up in another form.
Mr.. Hoar had asked that his resolu-
ton, postponing the entire Cuban sub
iect until April 9th, go over until to-
morrow. This aroused Mr.. Sherman
to an energetic and feeling protest. He
declared that Mr.. Hoar's resolution
was a reflection on the committee on
Foreign Relations and was an effort
to shelve the Cuban resolutions, after
weeks of discussion and overwhelming
votes in both Houses. The two vener-
able Senator's, Sherman and Hoar, en-
gagged in a vigorous colloquy.
Mr.. Morgan and other Senators were
drawn into the personal conflict and for
half an hour it ragged, some times with
deep earnestness but more often with
amusement, caused by the energy of
the white-haired participants.
Mr.. Sherman finally withdrew his
objection and Mr.. Hoar's resolution
went over until tomorrow, but not be-
fore Mr.. Hoar had made brief but
telling speech against what he termed
the meddling policy of Congress in
foreign questions.
The latter part of the day was given
to continuance of Mr.. Turpie's
speech in opposition to the claim of
Mr.. Dupont to a seat in the Senate from
Delaware.

MIR. Foraker then entered into q brief
but glowing tribute to Major Mckin-

as follows:
"Other States are declaring for him.
Ohio cannot lead the column; it IS al
ready on the march. (Cheers.) All we

When Senator-elect Foraker closed
by saying he wanted to make his
speech short enough for all to read it
and for all to understnd it, there was
as much laughter as applause. Iele-
grams of greeting We're then read from
several conventions.
The following was sent to Wichita:
.To the president of the Republican

licans of Ohio, in their annual State
convention assembled, send greeting
to the gallant Republicans of Kansas
and assure them of the distinguished
appreciation of the Ohio Republicans
Of the earnest support given to Ohio's
great labor by time-tried Republicans
of Kansas. Ohio will join Kansas IN
st. Louis, and in November next, will
celebrate the victory for Mckinley,
protection and prosperity"
A State committee and the usual
committees for the work of the con-
yention were then selected and the
convention adjourned till 10 q. III. to-
morrow.

Wichita, Kan, March 10.--The Re

order at II a. M by Cyrus LELAND,
chairman of the State committee and
ex-Chief Justice Albert I'll. Horton was
elected temporary chairman by accla-

taken till afternoon.
Before adjournment Cyrus Leland Of
fered a telegram of greeting to the
Ohio Republican convention in session
at Columbus, warmly endorsing Nc
Kinley, and it was adopted.
When the convention Te-convened at
2 o'clock, the several committees were
not ready to report, and several
speeches were listened to. j. r. Bur-

when he delivered strong free silver
speech, urging the convention to make

or consent of the East"

Winston-Salem, N. O., March TO-
(SpeciaD "A well informed Republican

Some time ago Thomas Settle discov-

nation. The Colonel swallowed Set
ties bait and began making his ar
rangements for the gubernatorial race,
when a discovery was made to the eff
feet that Settle was either playing the
part of trickster, or that the Colonel
was nothing more than joke.
The Colonels eyes were first opened
when Nash county endorsed Dockery
| for Governor. He learned that Sharpe,
Settles brother-in-law, and the two
negro preachers, Leak and Dancey,
| 'bossed" the convention and had things

| that county is greatly wrought up over
the action of an unknown party who
made a mound, in the shape of grave,
near his home, and erected a tombstone
at each end of it. On one of the stones
| appears a paper on which is type-writ-
ten many mean things which the Da-
| wilson man is charged with being
| guilty of. The irate citizen offers to

that grave and placed the damaging
memorial" on the tombstone.

Messrs. c.. II. Tise and jeff King, of
this city, have invented cigar stand
which is attracting much attention.
1t made somewhat similar to, though
much larger than, chewing gum ma
chine. You drop a nickel in the slot,
and it brings out five-cent cigar. 1t
works the same way if you want ten
centsmol1e. The cigars are in boxes, and
can be seen through glass windows.
No other amount of money, except the
price of the cigar in the box where you
drop the cash will operate the machine.
