Lewis Sun-tkt>s.d " hiskrrs.

The Washington Post thus describes
the latest performance of Congressman
James Hamilton Lewis in the ball of con
gress
"Cuba's wrongs had another brief in
ing in the house Yesterday. Lewis Of
Washington, the aspiring young leader
of the minority, with the sun kissed
whskers and the Adoni4 ar, was in the
box for the Cuban belligerents, and de.
livered some new and excellent curves
which puzzled the other side for an inn
ing or two; but Umpire Reed, 10y square
~ reversing one Of h,s previous decisions,
and having no quorum OF the house pres.
ent to do business, brought the same to
an end.
cit was brief contest only an hour,
roll call and all; but it vas interesting
while it lasted. All the old and tried
demOc attic leaders were away, and the
young blood of the party had full sway.
Mr.. Lewis sprung on the house a Cuban
resolution in general form, intended to
establish foreign policy, declaring the
right of congress to recognize belligerents
as against the president, and ably defend
ed it rs a privileged question.
"Mr. Dingley promptly made point
of order against it, but Mr. Reed was IN
terested in the remarks of the new mem.

was soon evident that he was putting the
speaker on record against himself, and
the speaker realized it tull well. But he
met the situation promptly; ruled against
the resolution, and calmly and confident
~ waited the result OF an appeal to the
house. On taking the vote, it developed
that no quorum was present, and the
house adjourned until Monday"

The swauk.

The Swauk this year, is showing up
we'll. Prospectors with their trains of
pack-horses have begun to come in.
On the Ssauk proper there are few
new mines. The old ones, however, are
keeping their word, and doing splendidly.
The place where the greatest interest is
now manifested, is along Williams creek
and it's tributaries, Lyons, Boulder and
Cougar. A number OF promising finds
have recently been made, amongst which
is the "Red Jacket" the property of
Stewart and Rhodes. Virden has struck
another rich seam in his "Gold Seam"
good estimate may be made of the
the value of this claim when it is learned
that the ore pans some $1,000 per ton.
Floudine is still at work on his First
of August" in which he has discovered
new ledge running parallel with the
old one, and equally as good, which is
no small thing. This mine has attracted
a great deal of attention, and was lately
incorporated with a capital of 81 900 900,
which will enable Mr.. Floudine to de-
velop it much more extensively. 1t
would look as though some of the other
mines were to be pushed on, for Messrs.
Ashton, Price Davis, etc, OF Tacoma
paid short business visit last week.
Liberty. IA the centre of the camp, is
fast being eclipsed by Mesrsville, where
shacks like the palaces in fairy tales,
spring up in a single night, so fast they
grow. A graded street now runs the
length of the town, on which, every Sun
day, races, both horse and man, are holly
contested.
There is move being made to get rid
of the saloon, and judging from accounts
it is likely to prove not unfruitful.

FIRES Joke on the FIremen.

Kansas City Times: The fire depart
ment OF Emporia is the laughing stock Of
the town. About 9 o'clock one night,
while several OF the firemen were in the
second-story room playing cards, Dick
Chase, former warden otthe penitentlary,
who keeps livery stable across the
street. discovered flames in the fire de-
psrtment building and called up to the
window to the boys. The fire alarm was
sprung, but before the teams could be
got out firebrands were dropping around
the horses and it was all the men could
do to save the engine and the hose carts.
The building is a total wreck, fully in

ssthe Tradition in Danger.

4 visitor to Washington from South
Carolina remarked the other day:
"There is tradition in Chester county,
in our state, that the body OF General
Pakenham, who commanded the British
troops at the battle of New Orleans in
1915, and who fell in that battle. Is buried
in Chester county. The story is that the
generals body was packed in cask Of
rum and sent back TO England. On its
arrival there, it was through mistake not
even opened, but shipped again, this
time bound for Charleston. Reaching
that city, it was sent to Mr.. McMullen,
who kept general stock Of groceries,
liquors, etc, in Chester county. There a
spigot Was placed 10 the barrel and the
boys sho bad returned from the war
would congregate around the stove, take
large rotations OF the good old Jamaica
rum, and tell Of their exploits in the war.
After the rum was exhausted, the head
OF the cask vas knocked out, and horror
OF horrors, the body Of man was found
therein. The news spread like wildire,
and the boys gathered to inspect the
body. Several Of them had been to New
Orleans, and had seen General Paken-
ham, and at once identified it AS being
no less body than that of the general.
The body was inclosed in a coffin aud
