Allen, Of Nebraska, Brings in a
Resolution in Favor of
independence.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS ON THURSDAY.
Favorable Report on the Bill Prohibiting
Pelagic Sealing-Sharp Debate on
Financial Recommendation

Washington, Dec. s.-Mr. Allen
(Pop., Neb,) introduced in the senate
today resolution declaring it to be
the sense of the senate that congress
should, with all due convenient speed,
acknowledge by an appropriate act
the political independence of Cuba.
He followed it with a speech, declar-
ing that the commercial spirit of the
United States was preventing action.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations today authorized a favorab BILE
report upon the bill prohibiting Pc
lagic sealing by the people of the
United States.
Representative Hill of Connecticut
then precipitated a sharp debate by
moving that the committee act at once
by reporting to the house a bill em-
bodying three of the financial features
which had the presidents approval.
The house committee on foreign
affairs will hold its first meeting
Thursday, when Chairman Hit will
name sub committees which will con-
slider several questiOns-Cuba, HAWAII,
etc. Thus far there has been no con-
sultation on the general line of operat-
ing on the numerous foreign subjects
by the committee.
The house committee on banking
and currency, which Will have the
shaping of a considerable portion of
the financial legislation before the
house, held It's first meeting this morn
ing and outlined general plan of
action. In view of Secretary Cages
recommendation of a comprehensive
division Of currency and banking af-
fairs resolution was adopted invit-
ing the secretary to embody his views
in the bill.

THE BILL RECONsIDERED.
Probable That Convict Measure Will Finally
Go Through.

Atlanta, Dec. The de mocratio
caucus last night has incurred much
criticism by endeavoring to shirk the
responsibility of the defeat of all con-
vict reform legislation from the demo-
cratic party. The populIsts are jubi-
liant over the apparently hopeless DEM
ocratic division on this subject,
The house, without a dissenting
vote, reconsidered the conYict bill later
in the day.
Eight sections of the bill were passed
upon today and it is probable the en-
tire bill will bs gone through with by
tonight and be passed by that body
tomorrow.
Governor Atkinson's veto of the foot
ball bill came very near being over
ridden in the house today. There were
only 45 votes to sustain the veto and
10Y against it. 1t requires two thirds
of the whole house, or III votes, to
down veto, but if every member had
been present these would probably
have been given.
The senate today killed Senator
Carter's state registration bill; also
the bill prohibiting the sale of cigar
cites in Georgia.
Tom Watson, who was invited to
address the joint session on the finan-
cial question tonight, did not show up.
His friends stated that he did not have
time to come to Atlanta to make
a speech, being out of politics.
The populisr state committee met
here today and issued a call for state
convention to nominate state house
officers and superior court judges 10
be held the third Wednesday in March
next.

At yesterday afternoons session of

The two young gentlemen stood a
very creditable examination, giving
ready answers to all the hard ques-
tlons propounded by the able exam.
iners. The board recommended their
admission to the bar.
Judge Sweat, in passing the officIal
order that added the two applicants
to the legal profession, took occasion
to make some complimentary illusions
to the excellence of the examinations
passed, and to give the young men
some advice on the profession they
had chosen. The customary oath was
then administered.
Mr.. Colson is a graduate of Emory
college and has, since his graduation,
been the efficient prircipal of the
grammar school. Mr.. Colson COM
bined the study Of law with his other
duties, being first under the instruc-
ton of Judge Symmes and afterwards

rs his chosen calling, anu gives prom
ise of brilliant career at the bar.
Mr.. Isaac has been student in the
office OF Goodyear & Kay for the past
year. He is young man of quick
perception, and his answers to the
questions of the examiners showed
that he had the maxims and rules of
the law at the tip of his tongue. He
bids fair TO be success in the prac-
tice of the law, as he was in his exam
ination therefor.

The Programme for the North At
lantic Squadron Officially
Announced.
BRUNSWICK THE OBJECTIVE POINT.
Will Blockade the Ports Of Savannah and
Brunswick, and Conduct ManeOuvrss
Of the Georgia Coast.

Washington, Dec. S.-The official ar
rangements for the cruise of the North
Atlantic squadron in southern waters
are practically completed, and the of
ficial program has been decided upon,
The fleet will be made up of the
largest and most powerful vessels in
the navy and it will be the largest
fiAet of United States ships assembled
since the war.
The ships that will take part in the
manoeuyres will be the cruiser New

battleships Iowa, Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts and Texas; the cruisers
Brooklyn, Montgomery and Marble
head; the monitors Puritan and Ter

Annapolis; the dynamite cruiser We
suvius, and the tender Fern.
Admiral Sicard has received orders
from Secretary Long to have the work
of repairs and alterations to the ves-
sells now at the Brooklyn navy yard
completed as soon as possible, as the
department is anxious to have the
squadron start on its cruise.
The vessels, after leaving the yard,
will assemble at the anchorage at
Tompklnsville and start south in a
body. The drills will continue from
Sandy Hook to the drilling place south
of Brunswick. The manoeuvres will
be the same as those Of the battleship
and f1rstclass cruisers, which resulted
so satisfactorily during the summer.
They will consist of line of battle
manoeuvres for the battleshipss and
larger cruisers. Target practice, as
we'll as small boat drills, and landing
parties with battalion drills on shore
will be entered into.
The vessels will stop at the winter
rendezvous at Hampton Roads, Charles
TIN, Savannah, and Brunswick. The
harbors of the last two places will be
attacked and blockaded by the larger
vessels, while the smaller vessels will
run the blockade. The battleships
will not go further south than Bruns-
wick.
