DAY IN THE SENATE.
Cuba and Bankruptcy the Subjects
Discussed.

Washington, April S.-Much bad
blood was developed in the senate today
over the Cuban question, and there
were numerous stormy passages and
acrimonious personal charges. Early
in the day Morgan called up his reso-
luton declaring that state of war ex-
listed in Cuba and recognizing both par
ties as belligerents. He spoke for some
time in dispassionate manner for the
resolution, but was aroused by Hale to
a series of sharp retorts. 1t led to the
declaration by Morgan that, instead of
sending lawyer to Cuba to investigate
the case of DR.. Ruiz, as was contem-
plated, the administration would do
we'll to send ship of war to Havana to
demand redress. At another point
Hale questioned Morgan's statement
that Cuban prisons were STUFFED"
with American prisoners, declaring the
information reaching him (Hale) showed
that no such condition existed. Nor
gan asked who this information came
from, and then hotly asserted that he
knew where it came from, and the
world knew whore II came from, as the
senator from Maine had not denied that
he was in communication with the
Spanish authorities. Hale Indignantly
denied that his information came from
Spanish sources, and said it was fur
nished in every item by American citi-
Zens.
The strain occasioned by this charge
and denial was relieved by the expira-
tion of the morning hour, which cut off
the debate. The Morgan resolution
lost its place, and went to the bottom
Of the calendar, but Morgan will con-
tinue his speech tomorrow, and has
given notice of motion to proceed
with the Cuban resolution to a final
vote.
Most of the day was given to the
bankruptcy bill, Stewart Of Nevada.
speaking in opposition. The discus
sion drifted to the financial question,
Chandler and Stewart having a discus
sion on bimetallism. During the day
Earl introduced resolution for the
immediate reorganization of senate
committees, and the filling OF all va
cancies. He spoke briefly, for the first
time since entering the senate, OH the
injustice of keeping the new senators
from committee service. The resolu.
tion went over until tomorrow.

PRUNING THE ITEMS.


Washington, April l2.-The Repub-
lican senators who are acting as sub
committee of the senate committee on
finance in the preparation of the tariff
bill are inclined to postpone the date
of presentation of the bill to the senate
a little beyond the limit originally fixed
by them. They express the opinion
that it may be two weeks from the
present time before it will be in shape
to be reported.
The committee is making satisfactory
progress with the BILL and many of
the schedules have received final atten-
tion, among them being chemicals and
cottons None of the more puzzlng
questions, however, have been disposed
of. The committee has deemed it
wisest to leave the rates on wool,
sugar, hides, coal, lead, ore, lumber
and all the other important subjects
until the simpler matters can be de-
termined. They take the position that
they can settle the disputed points
more satisfactorily after the other fea-
tuiSo vi biO Dill are OIUuBllly ulReSI-
ed and the probable revenue deter
mined. Many of the smaller items ac-
cordingly have been decided upon.
While no detailed information can
be secured, it is understood many re-
ductions have been made. The dispo-
sition of the committee is to make a
quite general reduction, but this is
found to be task not easy to accom-
plish, because of the insistence of SEN
ators upon having high duty for ar
ticles in which they are interested.
There are indeed many demands for
increase, and some of these are so
pressing that members of the commit
tee find themselves considerably mbar-
rassed between their desire to satisfy
senators whose votes will be essential
to the success of the bill and their con-
viction that the interest of the party
demand reduction rather than increase.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins S Company's Review
of Trade.


One could write yards of matter and
fill innumerable columns of space in
attempting to describe the wheat mar
ket and its variations this week, giving
a reason for each and every movement.
a well-known operator puts it correctly
and tersely when he says "the market
is suffering from too much news and
too many statistics" There is all
kinds of news in wheat, and statistics
enough to supply everybody, hut
whether traders are any better for hav-
ing so much information is a question.
Figures themselves don't lie, but it is
said liars can figure, and they evidently
have been doing it in manner that
may be satisfactory to themselves but
certainly not soul-tilling enough for the
public who are growing rather chary of
statisticians and their methods.
In speaking of figures. it must De
confessed that they are unusually favor
able for higher prices, but they, like
bad crop reports, are ignored The
visible supply for the week was cut l.
407, 900 bushels. The total is now 3d.
023,000 bushels compared with 61,-
O45, 900 bushels last year; for the same
week one year ago, difference of 49,
900, 900 bushels. The worlds stock for
the week underwent decrease of about
100000 bushels. Worlds shipment
for three weeks have been under 4, 000,-
900 bushels, while the supposed or esti-
mated requirements of the importing
countries is Z, 7,25O, 600 bushels per week.
Wheat and -four on ocean passage de-
creases steadily, and this week was re-
duced 100000 bushels. If that is
not phalanx of figures to warrant pur-
chases of wheat, the buyer had better
60 out of the business. Sad to relate,
however, statistics have little effect
upon the market. and professional sell
lers go right ahead, never thinking that
there is the barest sort of possibility of
a day of reckoning before the new crop
is in the shock.
Corn has held its own, and there is
very little change to be noted in the
market. That corn possesses merit OH
it's own account has been and is daily
demonstrated by the course of the mar
ket.

NOT ON THE MARKET.
Public Lands in Washington withdrawn
From Sale.

Olympia, Wash, April 12.-The
board of state land commissioners made
one of the most important orders today
ever issued by that body. 1t is to
withdraw from sale all state, granted,
school or other lands. Henceforth all
applications for purchase of the public
lands of the state will be rejected, and
special deposits already received re-
turned. This does not apply to the
purchase OF timber and material on
state lands, nor to such applications as
have prior rights under existing laws
to purchase tide lands.
The reason for this step is said to be
that to sell now, in the present finan-
cial stringency, would be to take the
lowest price ever likely to be offered,
thus defeating the objects for which
the several grants were made to the
state. The commissioner of public
lands is ordered to lease all these lands
possible to permanent occupants and
improvers to the fullest extent permit
ted under existing laws.

SPANISH JAIL RAIDED.
Eighteen Cuban Prisoners Were Re-
leased.

Eighteen Cuban Prisoners Were Re-
leased.
New York, April S.-A World spe-
cial from Havana says:
Calabazar, in this province, was
raided Friday, the Spanish Jail was
forced open and eighteen insurgents
who were to have been shot this week
were released. Most of the Spanish
guard officials were killed or wounded.
Among the prisoners was Sonora Isa-
belle Terra Montez, said to be relative
of General Acosta. She is nearly 80
years old and has been confined in this
vile dungeon more than three months.
She disappeared from her residence,
two miles from this place, and her
friends had made many attempts to as
certain her whereabouts, but without
Elscess. When found she was in rags
s.'N emaciated to shocking degree.
she was very prominent in the section;
had been raised in affluence, and the
imprisonment almost destroyed her
reason.

Oakland, April 5.-Miss NJ. Morgan,
a high school student, is conceded to
be one of the pluckiest girls in this city,
for on Saturday night last she chased
and overlook tramp who had robbed
her, and wrested from him some $1S in
cash snatched from her grasp but few
moments before. Miss Morgan had just
received change for $40 piece from a
messenger boy, when the tramp, who
had evidently followed him, knocked
at the door of the house and asked foi
aims. Seeing the money in Miss Nor.
gan's hand, he grabbed it and made off;
but she promptly gave chase, and re.
covered her property after brief
struggle.

Stoneville, Miss, April 9.-Last
night 200 negroes were isolated on a
piece Of railroad embankment near
Bogue Phalia, without food or shelter.
Relief was Immediately sent, and they
are now being cared for. Yesterday
evening trestle on the Yazoo g. Mis-
sissippi Valley road, four miles north
Of Greenville, was suddenly swept
away, and two men who had sought
shelter on it were precipitated into the
rushing torrent One was drowned and
the other rescued. Planters, citizens
and all charitable instiiutions are doing
everything possible to relieve the suf-
ferers

AID FROM CONGRESS.
An Appropriation OF 5000, 900 Set Apar,
for Flood Sufferers.

Washington, April 9.-Cuba and the
flood sufferers divided attention in the
senate today. The reading of the pres.
ident's message, urging congressional
relief for the devastated regions of the
Mississippi valley, was followed by the
passage of joint resolution offered by
Jones of Arkansas, appropriating $780,
900 to be Immediately available for the
food sufferers. 1t was passed by the
unanimous vote of the senate The
plans were changed, however, when
the house resolution appropriating
5000, 900 for the Mississippi river and
Red river Of the North was received
This was accepted in lieu of the former
resolution and was passed unanimously
Morgan resumed his speech in
support of the resolution declaring that
a state of war exists in Cuba. 1t was
uneventful, and failed to develop any
renewal of the sharp personal conflict
incident to the debate yesterday. In
connection with the discussion over the
flood resolution today it was urged
against passing the Bate resolution
that the epidemic fund should not be
despoiled. 1t served definite purpose,
and it was desirable to give specific
relief to the Mississippi food sufferers.
Nelson moved an amendment includ-
ing the Red river of the North with the
Mississippi in the terms of the resolu-
tion. Jones pleaded against the en-
ho rro Of ha Al
Red river amendment. The resolu-
tion, he said, had been framed after the
most careful inquiry by the president
and secretary of war through govern
ment officials in the flooded districts.
If relief was requisite for the Red river
it could readily be secured as separate
proposition. Yielding to these appeals,
Nelson withdrew his amendment.
After the passing of this resolution, a
message was received from the house
reporting the passage by that body of a
joint resolution appropriating 5000, OOO
for flood sufferers along the Mississippi
and Red river of the North.
Jones stated the house resolution was
the same as the one just passed by the
senate with the exception that $50, ,0OO
for the Red river was included. He
moved the passage of the house resolu.
tion, and it prevailed. The original
senate resolution was then reconsidered
and laid aside.
Morgan then continued his speech,
begun yesterday, in support of the res,
olution declaring that state of wal
exists in Cuba, and recognizing both
parties as belligerents.
Morgan referred to General Weyler's
orders herding together people in the
towns and villages of Cuba for the pur.
pose of starving them. How long, he
asked, was this captain-general to con
tinue in power, issuing new orders day
after day, as his whim or caprice might
dictate, resulting in the utmost harsh
ness against American citizens in Cuba
At 2 O'Clock the senate went into ex
ecutive session, and at $3.50 adjourned

Sherman PigeonhoIed 1t.

Washington, April 12.-The senate
resolution protesting against summary
proceedings by the Spanish officials in
Cuba against the captive insurgent
leader, Rivera, has reached the state
department, through the White House.
Secretary Sherman, regarding it as
merely declaratory of the sense OF the
senate, and offered in an advisory
spirit, has filed it away, and is not
likely to carry out its suggestions and
lodge a protest with the Spanish gov
ernment, particularly in view of the in
formation he has received that Rivera
is not to be shot.

FIGHTING HAS BEGUN.
Greek Irregulars Crossed the Frontier
and Attacked Turks.

Elassona, Macedonia, April IA
Bands of Greek brgiands have entered
Turkey at Krania, in the vicinity of
Gervno. Turkish troops have been en-
gagged with them and fighting has been
proceeding since 8 O'Clock this morning.
At Turkish headquarters the news is
looked upon as of the gravest descrip-
tion in view of the excitement here.
Edhim Pasha has sent orders to have
everything in readiness for an advance
of the Turkish army in force.
A dispatch received at Turkish head
quarters here from Grevno says the
fighting between Greeks and Turks con-
tinues. The Turks, following out the
instructions of Edhim Pasha, have sur
rounded the Greek irregulars, and the
greater part OF the Turkish division
stationed at Grevno is now advancing.
1t is impossible to distinguish whether
the invaders are supported by any sub
stantial portion of the Greek army, but
the correspondent is informed that the
moment the Turkish officers ascertain
the presence of uniforms of Greek regu-
lars in the ranks of the aggressors, Ed
him Pasha will order an advance of the
entire Turkish army. The situation is
not serious.

BRYAN CALLED ON M'KINLEY.
Expressed a Desire to Be Shown the
Interior of the White House.

Interior of the White House.
Washington, April 8.-W. J. Bryan,
late Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, called at the White House today
with Representative McMillin, of Ten
nessee, and Attorney General Smythe,
of Nebraska, to pay his respects to his
late opponent. He was greeted warmly
by Mckinley. The latter said he had
received copy Of Bryan's book few
days ago, but had not yet had time to
read it. After exchanging courtesiea
and pleasantries, Bryan retired.
Bryan expressed desire to be shown
through the White House, and Door,
keeper Dubois conducted him through
the various parlors and conservatories
In the main corridor, just as he was
emerging, he met Mrs. Mckinley, who
was going out for drive, and saluted
her cordially.
Bryan was beseiged with newspaper
men, who asked for his views on the
Ohio and Michigan elections yesterday.
"They indicate that confidence hat
been restored" he said laughing, "and
need no explanation from me; they
speak for themselves -

A Rarbarous Crime.

Victoria, b. G April 9.-Australian
mail brings evidence of barbarous
crime committed in New Hebrides.
Mr.. S. Duncan, white trader who
reached Sydney from South Africa last
year, met his death in a very painful
way while trading with natives. 1t
seems the unfortunate man was tied mp
to one of the trees for three days. He
was kept alive in such way that the
food was forced down his throat. At
the end of three days he was cut down
and killed and eaten, women even join
ing joyfully in the cannibalistic feast.
There was great assemblage from the
various groups of islands. Duncan, it
appears, was single man, about 33
years old. He was a peaceable man,
and his friends at Sydney say that he
would not draw his revolver on any
account. From those who know the
New Hebrides has been collected tie
information that the natives are treach-
erous, they having on several occasions
dealt murderously with Europeans.

Arrested for Splitting in a Car.

San Francisco, April 9.-The officers
of the Market-street Railroad Company
have begun the enforcement of the new
ordinance which prohibits, among
other things, expectoration on the floor
of a street car.
For the defendant in the first case
notable man has been chosen, William
B. Bradbury, the capitalist, who lives
in the imposing mansion at the north
east corner of Vanness avenue and CAL
ifornia street. If the Market-street
company had sought shining mark in
its first defendant, it could not have
aimed more truly than at the owner Of
the mansion. Bradbury is known for
his fine trotting horses and his eccentric
personality, as well as for his big house.
The accused states that he will test the
validity of the law, and has engaged
