hearts OF these Daughters would be closed
to the efforts OF American peoples in their
own day, who are trying TO achieve free
dom from European despotism. And this
natural and just feeling would be accentu-
ated in a ease like that OF Cuba. where the
outrages by Spain upon defenseIess women
and infants have beel and are too frightful
almost for belief.
II is with pleasure, therefore. that we
note the opening OF the Congress with a
ringing address by Senator FRYE, which,
bearing allthe marks OF good dAmericanism,
and calculated to inspire the Daughters OF
the American Revolution with the grandeur
of their patriotic mission, aud with
sense of the power they possess to rekindle
in our lethargic land the fires of the true
Revoluti onary spirit, also conveyed
stern warning to the cruel Spanish power
No doubt, because Of his official position,
Senator Frye was guarded n his utterances.
He did not say, in terms, as Senator Sher-
man denies that he did, that the dastardly
murder OF an American citizen held merely
under suspicion in Cuba, can be answered
only by war; but we are quite sure he
meant just that, as we feel confident that
his audience, and an freemen, win hope
and think he did
There is noble work ready TO the hand
Of the Daughters in this connection. The
influence of woman is great and far reach
ing in American society; when il is organ-
lied and directed with the zeal and intelli-
gence that charactcrizes the noble society
under consideration, il can be made effect
i've in just such cases as the present one.
A movement in furtherance of American
Intervention in Cuba, inaugur ated by
the Daughters Congress would have weight
and influence. If it went no farther we
believe that il would shame the govern
ment of this country into stopping by force
and arms, the selling OF little Cuban girl
prisoners TO a life of shame, and of the
buUchering of Cuban babies by Spanish
soldiers in the streets OF Pinar del Rio

In the Insect World.

Prof. Henry Skinner, of the Academy of
Natural Sciences, in lecturing on insect
collecting recently said That:
book on Central American biology
mentions ,114 insect species belonging
TO that locality.
With 100000 insect species in the
world nd only zoo, 900 described to date
at 800 per annum it would take $40
years to describe the remaining million
odd; and even then entomology would lie
comparatively V in its infancy, for classifying
is only preparatory to further investiga-
ton.
In Central America one small family CT
beetles exceeds in number of species the
entire mammalia.
There are in the United States 40
apiariar societies, eight journals devoted
to bee culture, 3 steam factories kept
constantly manufacturing materials for
the 800 900 bee culturists, and the annual
product OF honey in the United States is
63, ,S94,1S6 pounds.
According TO the eleventh United States
census, the annual output of honey and
wax was valued al 81 100000.
The present estimated value of bee
products is S20, 1000, 900 per annum.
The cochiDeal bug-which supplies the
coloring matter in carrine-is SO tinythat
10000 weigh only one pound.
The female cochineal bug is wingless
and there are 200 females to one male
In one year the exports ofcochineal from
the Canary Islands amounted to 6,310,-
600 pounds, valued at S4,000,000.

1T WAS no PARADE WEATHER.
That Is the Reason the Cadet Regi-
ment Did Not Appear.

The failure of the High School Cadets to
parade yesterday was a great disap-
pOintInent to thousands of their friends,
who had waited patiently for hours for
their appearance on the Avenue.
The regiment had been ordered TO
rendezvous on the plaza at Thirteenth
street and New York avenue, but at the
and g from the Eastern High School, andE
from the Business High School, put in an
appearance.
The threatening aspect of the weather
during the early part OF the day and even
up To within half an hour of the time for
forming the line of march made it highly
improbable that the boys could parade
Under these circumstances, after waiting
until the very last moment, Prof. Lane or
dered that there should be no parade.
The three companies, however, which
had gone to the rendezvous, in charge Of
Ma jor Miller, marched south on Thirteenth
street TO Pennsylvania avenue, and thence
east to the Peace Monument, where they
were dismissed.
The companies, which turned out, were
incharge Ofthe following officers: Company
E, Capt. White; Company F, Capt. French;
Company G. Capt. srnoot.
1t was to have been the first official
public appearance of the cadet corps since
its reorganization at the beginning OF the
school year and the boys had drilled
faithfully for the occasion.

Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee as consul general at
