RNter PartiAan Debate on the Cuban
Question in the House.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Cuban affairs
furnished the house with day of bitter
partisan debate. The resolution appro-
priating $4,000 for the relief of Ameri-
can citizens was adopted without a dis
senting vote, but the Democrats endeav-
ored to force consideration also of the
Morgan resolution for recognition of the
belligerency of the insurgents. They
accused the Republicans of endeavoring
to evade this issue, but the dominant
party, through it's spokesman, Mr.. Hit,
made the important statement that the
Republicans desired not to embarrass
new negotiations which were being pro-
jected by President Mckinley to
Secure the Independence of Cuba.
While Mr.. Hit disclaimed presidential
authority for his statement, it was well
known that he had been in consultation
with Mr.. Mckinley on the question and
knew whereof he spoke.
The house rejected the third confer
ence report on the opening of the Utah
gilsonite lands and instructed it's con.
ferees to support plan proposed by Mr.
Lacey of Iowa by which the secretary OF
the interior would lease the lands, the
government getting a royalty and pro
visions against monopoly being made

to hold his office for four years notwith-
standing the presidents order Of re-

because of its possible effect upon the

Several important cases were decided
On appeal from the court of private
land claims. One Of thes0 involved
the title to the San Miguel da Ba5s
land grant, including $4,000 acres OF
land in New Mexico. Two cases were
included in one decision, which was in
favor of Sandoval, and therefore against
the United States in both instances.
The court also decided two cases to
the effect that the United States inter-
state commerce commission has not
power to pass upon rates before they are
put into effect.

the one side or money be obtained by the
other, with the continued result Of untold
human suffering, loss of human life, the
murder of innocent men, women and
children by both sides and the frightful
havoc which disease makes in the ranks
of soldiers, particularly among the unac-
climated Spaniards. The poverty and
distress of the people is increasing and the
loss of property of all sorts daily becom-
ing more enormous No one can fully
appreciate the situation without being
here in person. The number of poor, dis
tressed, starving women, children and
other men of all races have greatly in
creased in this city within the past few
weeks, while in other points on the island
the suffering has been proportionately
great.
Olney's Letter to De LONE.
The letter from Secretary Olney to
Spanish Minister de LONE under date OF
April 4, 1896, is the one in which inter-
vention is suggested. After going at
length inb prevailing conditions on the
island and the hopeless outlook for Span
ish success, the secretary continues:
The situation thus described is of great
interest to the people of the United States.
They are interested in any struggle any
where for freer political institutions-bUt

struggle that is raging. almost in sight OF

WEsH1NeToN, May 25.-fhe Republi.
can caucus emphasized the fact that
thereis wide divergence of opinion
among the Republican senators on rates
of duty fixed in the various schedules Of
the tariff bill. The senators were in
caucus nearly four hours. The only
Official announcement that was made
afterthe caucus adjourned was that it
was decided to appoint three senators in
additson to the Republican members Of
the finance committee, who are to act as
q conlmittee to assist IN getting the tariff
bill through the senate. Itwas generally
state, however, that an agreement had
been reached that there should be no
set speeches on the bill from the Repub-
ica1 side except that of Senator Aldrich,
which opens the debate.
Amendments Approved in COMMITTEES.
Aresolution or memorandum offered
by Senator Burrows was agreed to by
those present which sets forth that Re-
publican senators having amendments
to offer should present them to the Re-
publican members of the finance COM
mittee, and if the amendments are ap-
proved by the committee they are to be
offered in the senate. If disapproved
the senator's presenting them are to have
the right to submit them to the Republi.

proposed. The finance committee is tC

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.

Thirty-six Decisions Rendered at the Final
Sitting of the Term.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-After render
ing final decisions in SO cases and giving
attention to other business incident to
the last sitting of the term, the United
States supreme court has adjourned un-
til next October. When the court crier
announced the final adjournment for
the term there were apparently $50
cases on the docket undisposed of, but
there were actually $50 cases, 21 having
already been argued and submitted.
This is smaller number than the rec
ords of the court have shown for 30
years.
Important Cases Decided.

ternal revenue features Of the bill relat-
ing to beer and tobacco.
This result was reached after a dis
cussion in which practically all the SEN
ators present participated. The con-
clusion was unanimous that this was
the wise and polite course to pursue.
The talk was based largely upon the
proposition to increase the tax upon
beer, wlsioh hzwas~ generally criticized as
an effort to increase the price of "the
poor mans beverage, which was pro
nounced wholly unjustifable in time of
peace and with $12O,OOO,OOO Of idle
money in the treasury. The proposed
beer tax was condemned as war tax.
The discussion of other features of the
tariff bill was only desultory and no
conclusion beyond that stated was
reached

creased tax on beer. 1t was determined
that an effort should be made to secure
the revenue both from beer and tea by q
stamp tax, which would accomplish the
same result.
Western Senators Make Threats.
Senator Warren of Wyoming appeared
as the spokesman for the woolgrowers
of the West and said that the duties
proposed by the committee were, in his
Judgment, inadequate, and he thought
there should be increases on the lines Of
amendments proposed by the Western
senator's.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts spoke
against the duty on hides, saying he did
not see how he could avoid voting for an
amendment which proposed placing
hides on the free list. This statement
raised storm among Western men,
who said that if such method was
proposed they would be compelled to
vote for placing certain articles on the
free list or for reducing the duty on
them. They did not expect that the
Democrats would vote with them to in
crease duties. The Westerners an
nounced that to settle with the Eastern
men who voted to reduce duties on
their products they would vote to re-
duce the duty on articles which their
people purchased and did not produce.

The steamer is built on the plan of
he FreRchman's house, that was two
miles long and six feet wide. She is
the longest steamship for her beam
that has ever appeared in this port,
and, with the exception of the old
Batavia, now running between the
Orient and the Sound under a new
name, is the longest merchant vessel
that ever entered the river. She is
built with flush decks, around which
an iron railing is placed, the absence
of bulwarks giving her the appearance
of setting very low in the water, an
effect that is no doubt enhanced great
