Washington, Feb. 26.-The feature
of the session of the house was the ap-
pearance of William J. Bryan, late
Democratic candidate for president, on
the floor. He has come to the city to
attend dinner given in his honor by
John r. Mclean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and, as an ex-member, was
entitled to the privilege of the floor.
He came in with McMillin, Mcguire,
Sulzer and ex-Congressman George f.
Williams. He was Immediately escort
ed to the cloaBroom, where he divested
himself Of his overcoat, his entrance
not having been generally observed.
His presence soon became noised about
however. The Democratic members
deserted their seats and hurried to greet
him. After a few minutes he walked
calmly down the aisle to his old seat.
The Democrats gave him round of
hearty applause, the people in the gal
leries craned their necks and took up
the demonstration. There were several
wild shouts. Many of the Republicans
joined in the welcome to their old COL
league. The first was Judge Strobe, of
Nebraska, his successor in congress.
Among the others were Hit, Stone,
Dalzell and Dolliver. The confusion
became so great that Speaker Reed was
forced to call the house to order. After
a few minutes Mr.. Bryan made his way
back of the rail which divides the seats
from the lobby, around to the speaker
rostrum, where he shook hands with
the speaker. The galleries again joined
in the demonstration, which occurred
at this juncture. Mr.. Bryan soon after
left the house.
Most of the day was devoted to Dis.
trict of Columbia business. The con.

the rights of purchasers of the Atlantic

THE SENATE AROUSED.
Spanish Inhumanities Can No Longer
Go Unnoticed.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Attention
was recalled to the Cuban question in
the senate today by the presentation of
three resolutions on that subject. One
of these came by unanimous vote of the
committee on foreign relations, and
called for the immediate and uncondi-
tional release of Julio Sanguilly, held
in Havana.
Another resolution by Allen calls on
the president to protect effectively
American citizens in Cuba, and for that
purpose to send battle-ships to Cuban
waters.
A third resolution, by Hill, was
agreed to, requesting the secretary of
state for all correspondence. with Con-
sul-General Lee relative to Americans
imprisoned in Cuba.
A sensational episode occurred late
in the day, during the consideration of
the Indian bills. Several of the New
England senators had criticised various
items, which aroused Senator Pettigrew
to caustic recitals of barbarities directed
against Indians in Massachusetts in
early days.
Hoar defended his state, and, amid
Impressive silence, arraigned Petit
grew, a New Englander by birth, for
"befouling the nest in which he was
born"
Little progress was made on the In
dian bill, and Allison warned the SEN
ate that the status of appropriation
bills was most dangerous.
Beginning tomorrow, the senate will
sit until IL O'Clock at night.

Members of the Benson house of the
legislature have been presenting claims
for serving the state to Secretary Kin
caid, but the secretary has refused to
issue warrants or certificates in recogni-
tion OF any of the claims. The disap-
pointed members say that if the secre-
tary neglects or refuses to do his duty,
he can be compelled by mandate of the
court.

"In honor of the occasion, this being
the l65th annivs sary of the birth OF
George Washin, ~, who was First in
peace, first in war, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen, move that

TO VAR on ANCESTORS.
The New society That u BrooLiyn Girl Says
She T. toing to start.

A Brooklyn girl says that she is going to start
new society. She does not intend doing this
because she thinks there Is dcarth OF women
societies. But she has discovered an entirely
new field. quite unoccupicd by womens societies
or any other kind. The name of the now organi-
zation is to be the Parvcnu Society, and tho
badge a mushroom; the motto: "She cometh up
as flower"
The members of this society will be allowed to
mention their fathers and mothers, and may
speak occasionally OF grandfather or n grand
mother; but mention of grcatgrandfathcr or
n grcat.srandmothcr shall be punished by fines.
No ancestors OF any degree OF ncarness may be
described to other members unless said ancestors
have been engaged in manual labor or have
been the objects of public charity or public pun:
ishment. Family records, relies, genealogical
trees, and other Indications of family antiquity
will be burned NJ tn monthly meetings. People
who have proof of the antiquity of their stock
will not he really acceptable as members, hut
they will he received on condition that they use
every effort TO oblitcratc the knowledge that
they have had ancestors. 80
Tho Brooklyn girl Is not animated by spirit
OF envy. No sour grapes have set her teeth on
edge. She is eligible To the Daughters OF the
Revolution, the Daughters OF the American
Rcvulution. the New England Women even to
the Colonial Danes! The members of these
various societies cannot imagine. so they say,
why she talks as she does" And then again,
there are other women who say they can.
