SLIGHTED THEIR SENATORS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Just be- fore congress took its holiday recess Vice President Stevenson presented to the senate a series of resolutions re- gently adopted by the Bryan Silver club of Spokane, favoring the recogni- tion of the independence of Cuba, which was referred to the committee on foreign relations. The presentation of the resolutions has created some comment, because they had not been presented either through Senator Will son, being from his home town, nor by Senator Squire, whose bolt from the Republican party is still matter of talk. Either senator would have been glad to present the resolutions, and the action of the Bryan Silver club in sending them to Vice President Stev- enson is looked upon as a deliberate slight put upon the two senators o1 the state of Washington by the mem bers of the club.

WITHOUT SIGNIFICANCE.
Comptroller Eckels on Recent Bank
 Failures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Comptrol- Ter Eckels said this afternoon that he feels no apprehension over the bank failures which have occurred of late. Two more, the Commercial National bank of Roanoke, Va, and the Colum- bia National of Minneapolis, were added to the list today. They are comparatively small institutions, how ever, and under ordinary circum- stances their failure, it is stated, would attract only passing attention.
 MT. Eckels, when asked today as to the general banking situation, said: of course bank failures are more or less disquieting, but those which have occurred recently have little or no general significance attached to them. They were due largely to local causes. wholly unconnected with the general condition of banks throughout the country at large. As against these few failures, based on local causes, the general condition of banks is ex- cellent."

NOT AUTONOMY, BUT REFORM
Denial of a Rumor That Spain
 Has Quite Weakened.
A Disposition EVinced by the Mother r Country Though to Grant Con- sessions to Cuba in the Matter of Self Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-From of ficial sources denial is made that the Spanish premier, Canovas, has sent Secretary Olney communication ac- cepting the mediation of the United States in carrying out autonomy for Cuba. It is said no such letter has been sent nor has anything of such a nature passed through Spanish off, cials here. Negotiations toward home rule have proceeded for some months and the last phase of these negotia- tions indicated an enlargement of the home rule laws adopted by the Span ish cortes last year, but not put in execution.
 These arrangements, as announced, embrace the election of an entire Gu ban congress instead of a mixed con- gress of fifteen elected members and fifteen appointed by the queen regent, and also the complete control by Cuba of her tariff question. The lat est statement regarding Spain's in- tentions with respect to the pacifica- tion of Cuba, therefore, deals with past phases of them, Spain having de- cided on a considerably more liberal scheme of reform than of old to which the latest publication on the subject has reference. AS yet, however, ne gotiations with respect to enlarged re- forms are tentative A draft of them has not been received as yet at Wash ington.

ANOTHER DENIAL.

MADRID, Dec. 29.-It is officially denied that there is any truth in the report published in a New York paper on Sunday last that the United States consulate at Cardenas, province of Matanzas, Cuba, had been twice at tackled and shield torn down from the door in spite of the efforts of local authorities to protect the consulate. An emphatic denial is also officially given to the statement today in the London Chronicle that there was reason to believe that the French for eign office has been sounded in regard to Cuba in an anti-American sense.

THIEVES IN TIFFANYS.
A We'll Dressed Couple Arrested by
 Detectives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Central office detectives, who were detailed at Tiff fany's, made an important capture yesterday afternoon. About f o'clock the attention of two officers was at tracted to the peculiar actions of a man and woman who were walking through the store. One of the officers saw the woman pick up a diamond brooch which she palmed. She walked down to where the man was stading and passed the brooch to him.
 The officers Immediately arrested the man and woman. They were talk en to police headquarters, where they refused to say anything. They were searched and a memorandum bearing their address was found in their pos session. The officers went to the house and were astounded by the grand display of jewelry they found. There was a quantity of silverware a gold scent bottle with topazes and emeralds, a number of loose diamonds and other jeWelry worth several hund- red dollars.
 The prisoners when arraigned in court today gave the names of Thomas and Mary Adams. The police say they are professional crooks from the west. Mrs. Adams, who is a hand some blonde, was magnificently at tired. Adams wore a silk hat, a pail of gold-rimmed spectacles and Prince Albert coat and looked like a prosper, ous merchant. The prisoners were charged with grand larceny and held for examination next Monday.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 29.-A special to The Republic from Birmingham, Ala, says: Two more charred corpses were found deep under the debris of Sun days wreck of the Birmingham pas senger train, and were brought here today They were too badly burned for identification, but it is regarded as reasonably certain that they are the bodies of S. w.

There were ten funerals of victims of the wreck at Blocton today and the business of the town was suspended for the time

itself felt in this territory. Here we have, or did have, the most favorable conditions for a successful and profit able study of these sciences that ex isted anywhere on this continent l am informed by Dr. J. Fewkes that in Stockholm, Sweden, there is a better exhibit of relics from Arizona than can be found west of the Mississippi river. We have neglected our op- portunities too long; much of the ma terial that should be preserved in our own halls of learning now grace the cabinets in eastern or foreign mu- seums. Our opportunities for eth nological study are fast disappearing. Every thinking man or woman in Ari- Zona is to some extent a student of archaeology. Each has been col lector of the non-perishable relics and emblems of dead races. Some have engaged in this business from a pure ly scientific standpoint, others as ar ticles of commerce. This last in- centive is, to my mind, highly repre- hensible."
 Dr. Miller then dwelt largely on the importance of placing some one in charge of the relics found here to pre- serve them in some suitable place where they can be publicly studied.
