FIFTY-THoUsAND people surrounded
Miss Cisneros, on Madison Square,
New York, last Saturday evening, and
gave her such an ovation as would tend
make her forget her long imprisonment
She is the daughter of Cuban and was
imprisoned by Weyler on her father
account. The Cuban Junta OF New
York employed young man named
Decker to go to HAVANA and release
her, If possible He went there, secured
assist ta-., rented house near the
prison, cut the bars one night and got
her out, and got her passed to the
steamer, dressed as boy, on forged
pass. 1t was risky job and it was
well planned and executed.

OBITUARY NOTES
George NJ. Pullman, the builder,
died at his home in Chicago, Tuesday.
He was born in Chautauqua county, n.
Y. in 1881; went to Chicago in 80,
built his first sleeper" in 60. and has
made millions in the business since.
Charles A. Dana. the veteran editor
of the n. Y. Sun. died at his home on
Long Island, last Sunday.
MIR Dana's most striking characte
is5ic perhaps was his hatred of cant, and
in this is found the key to what appear
ed to be the eccentricities of his genius.
Rather than indorse or participate in
anything that savored of this, he would
perhaps give his support to something
which was far worse. To use a Hiber-
nian expression, he stood 50 straight
sometimes that he leaned backward.
'But, though he has antagonized and
fought every political party that has ex-
listed during his political career though
he has sacrificed public men and even
his fellow newspaper men at times with
vigor that hurt them clear through,
all will now join in tributes to his great
genius, and will sincerely mourn the
loss Of so vigorous and forceful a per
sonality in public affairs Not to be
able any longer to know what Dana
viii say win be a real deprivation to
millions Of intelligent American read
ers

WASHINGTON.

The first regular session OF the new
Congress will meet on the hrst Mon
>ffrin December. There is little doubt
that the session will be long and inter
ing one. The Hawaiin Annexation
Gnestion will occupy the early atten-
tion of the Senate. and the Cuban ques-
tion will be fruitful source OF discus
sion for some time TO come. Then the
currency question Is likely TO occupy a
great deal Of attention, especially II the
recently appointed committee completes
its work in time and makes It's recon-
mendations to Congress. These lead
ing questions with others likely 70
develop during the session are likely 10
make the first session Of this Congress
of unusual interest to the public.
II il worth noting that the earnings
Of the second month Of the Dingley law
were greater than those of the second
month of the Wilson-Gorman law, not
withstanding the exactly reversed CON
ditions of affairs when the two laws
went into effect. The officials OF the
Treasury Department are likely 10 be
justified in their predictions that when
inlportations have reached norman
condition the revenue under the new
law will be ample to meet the Ooven-
ment expenses.
