A dispatch from Altoona, Pa, says:
Samuel y. Langdon, under arrest in
| Philadelphia in connection with the
death of Annie McGrath, organized
and built the Altoona and Phillips
burg railroad, leading from the Beach

a pretense of being rich. The United

Langdon is a man about so years old.
He is stoutly built has q smooth face
and his hair is gray. He is what would
be called fine looking, and is well pre-
served.
He formerly lived at 340O Powelton
avenue, where, it is said, he was not re-
garded with favor by the neighbors. At
that time he had a wife and son and
daughter The son was about 19 years
old, and three or four years ago he
caused his father much trouble and at
tanned wild notoriety by his wild finan~
eial exploits He raised money in va
rious ways, one Of which was by rails

which to take tour Of the world

abandoned because Of the queer ways in
which he raised the funds
and resulted in his being

was a girl in her teens While living
on powelton avenue the family kept
a carriage and span of horses and seem

Since he left the PoWelton avenue

Cuban Question.
CoNFEREEs HAVE AGREED
The Senate Resolutions Have
Been Adopted.
AND WILL BE REPORTED TO-DAY
The incident is Now Closed in the Sen
ate and the Debate viii be
Again Transferred to
the House.

Washington, March 26.-After a. ses-
sion with the Senate conference com
mittee on the Cuban question to-day
Of less than half an hours dura5 zion.
the House eonferees agreed to accept
the Senate resolutions.
The conference to-day was merely
formal in character as this conclusion
was practically reached at yesterdays
meeting. This action viii have the
effect of taking the question entirely
out OF the Senate and Of transferring all
further discussion on the Cuban ques-
tion to the House. The Senate resolu-
tions are as follows:
Resolved, Blythe Senate Tine House
of Representatives concurring there
in) that in the opinion of Congress a
condition of public war exists between
the government of Spain and the gov
ernment proclaimed and for some time
maintained by force of arms by the
people of Cuba; and that the United
States of America should maintain a
strict neutrality between the contend
ing powers, according to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
to citizens Of the United States.
Resolved, further, That the friend
ly offices of the United States should
be offered by the President to the
Spanish government for the rec0gni-
tion Of the independence of Cuba"
The House conferees were reluctant
to give up the resolution prepared by
their committee, but the plain alter
native was presented 70 them of the
Senate resolutions or no resolutions.
They we're informed by the Senate con
ferees that the only course by which
resolutions could be agreed upon by
both Houses. was one which would
shat off the Senate from more debate.
They were told thaB Senator Hale had
served notice that if the question was
brought forward again in the Senate
it would be debated to the end of the
session, if necessary. by the opponents
Of recognition to the insurgents. The
Senate conferees also said that they
believed filibustering tactics would be
resorted to in the Senate to suppress
action, if any opportunity for their
exercise was given.
These representations prevailed upon
the representatives of the House to
accept the Senate declaration. The
first section Of the resolutions was
acceptable to them from the first, but
the second, of which Senator Cameron
is the author, seemed to them en-
tirelv impracticable Of execution.
Under the arrangement reached the
Senate conferees win report the agree
ment to the Senate and the question
will be closed, so far as concerns that
body The House conferees win re-
port to the House a recommendation
that it adopt the Senate resolutions
and the House viii vote upon the
ratification of the report. Chairman
Hit now expects to make the report
tomorrow.
Several members of the House are
