LEE RETURNS FROM CUBA.
The Consul General Here to See Presi'
dent Mckinley.


General Fitzhugh Lee, United State:
Consul General to Cuba, arrived at New
York from Havana on the Ward Line
steamer Seguranca. General Lee was &C.
eompanied by his son, Fitzhugh Lee, Jr.
and by James H. Fishback, formerly Of the
State Department.
General Lee excused himself from discus.
sing Cuban affairs and his future plans by
saying: "Were not in official harness
would talk freely. AS it Is, have nothing
to say, beyond the fact that I shall go tc
West Point to see my son who is cadet
there, and that afterward I shall go tt
Washington to see the President. My plan!
for the future depend entirely on the de
velopmcnts Of the next few days.
''There was no end ofthe war in sight wher
I left Havana. and there is terrible
amount of suffering on the island. Busi
ness is dead, and there are no prospects o!
revival. have relieved 1400 distressed
Americans with the $50, 900 appropriated
purpose, and have used only $4,000. We
have been reserving the funds as much as
possible for emergencies"
Speaking Of the Evangeline Cisneros case
General Lee said: II visited the young
woman in jail and found that she was being
well treated When I saw General Weylel
in her behalf he told me he would have par
doned her long ago il such fuss had no'
been made over her. feel certain tha
her name is on the pardon list and that she
may be released almost any day"
MIR. Fishback, who accompanied Genera
Lee, said that he went to Cuba on purely
private business. The eyes Of every one OF
the island, he said, were now fixed OF
Washington and Madrid in the hope Of re
lief from the wretched conditions prevail
ing thcrN.

this is now open to question. Herr Teget-
meier, perhaps the most accurately In
formed man on the habits Of these birds,
states clearly that it is impossible that any
pigeon taken by Andree should ever return
TO its original location. In his experience
homing pigeons direct their course by
sight, and all those engaged in long-dis-
tance JOURNEYS have to be trained so as to
be made acquainted with the country over
which they fly. If this is so, the hundreds
Of miles Of unknown Arctic sea make the
pigeon story Just impossible, and we must
wait for news OF Andree until he himself ap-
pears.
In the way of conjecture there have been
various surmises by scientists, the majority
of them being unfavorable to the success
of the expedition. The most important OF
these is from DR.. Nils Ekholm, an expert
aeronaut, who last year accompanied Herr
Andree to Spitzbergen to take part in the
voyage then proposed, but who declined to
20 this year because he considered the bal
loon unsatisfactory In respect to its imper-
meability. He estimated the longest period
the balloon could remain in the air was
twenty-four days, and that, in his opinion,
was not sufficient to make q successful voy-
age across the pole or to the pole and back:
On the other hand, Mr.. W. d. Glider, OF
New York, who has had experience IN
polar explorations, tnOuSn not III pal1oouS,
thinks that there Is no reason as yet for
discouragement. The voyage may be sue
cessful, but the voyagers be landed so re-
mote from civilization that it would take
considerable time, perhaps several months,
for them to reach a place where they
could communicate with the world.
reasonable time limit has not yet been
reached, and consequently there Is no
warrant for believing that these daring
adventures have been lost.
There Is no reason to abandon hope that
Andree and his companions may return.
The fact of the matter Is that the explorer
said before he started that he might not be
heard from for two years. Andree is fne,
intelligent fellow Of magnificent physique.
He was perfectly we'll aware OF what he
was doing when he undertook the trip to
the North Pole, and il pluck, intelligence
and physique could help man through
such an undertaking, he will yet be heard
from. 1t may be that his balloon has come
down on the northern coast Of Alaska, IN
which case 1t will take considerable time
for him to reach telegraph station: Then
the balloon may have descended in Siberia
or Greenland, and some time must elapse
in any case before he could be heard from
He has hts sledges and other necessaries TO
make journey, and possibly will reach
some civilized point eventually.

Physician to n King Excoriates Drink.


One of the most famous medical men Of
Europeis Sir Henry Thompson, surgeon to
the University College Hospital, fellow of
the Royal Society, and surgeon extraordin-
ary to the King OF the BelgiaDs. Sir Henry
has made an especial study Of alcohol and
its effect upon the human system, and has
been most vigorous In his denunciations OF
the business Of selling 1t as a, beverage and
of its use rs such. On one occasion he
made this observation:
81 long had the conviction that there
is no greater cause OF evil, moral and ply
sical, in this country than the use Of alco-
holic beverages. I do not mean by this
that extreme indulgence which produces
drunkenness. The habitual use Of fermen-
ted liquors to an extent far short Of what
Is necessary to produce that condition, and
such as is common in all ranks Of society,
Injuries the body, and diminishes the mem
tai power to an extent which few people
are aware Of. Ihave no hesitation in at
tributing very large proportion OF some
of the most painful and dangerous mala-
dies which come under my notice, as well
as those which every medical man has to
treat, to the ordinary and daily ase OF fer
mented drink taken In the quantity which
is conventionally deemed moderate"

A Practical Experiment.

Years ago, before we entered the ministry
or journalism, our business brought US In
contact with shipbuilders-with one in par.
ticular, who employed a large number OF
men. He paid them all In the same man.
ner, and nearly to the same amount, yet
was struck with the difference in their situ-
ations. A few, and only few, were able
from their wages to support their families,
but these were out OF debt and independent
in their circumstances. They always had
money on hand and frequently suffered
their wages to lie In the hands Of their en-
ployer. The rest were poor and harassed,
the former easy and comfortable in their
circumstances, and he resolved, II possible,
to find the cause OF the difference.
On inquiry and examination he found
that those Of them who were out Of debt
used no intoxicating liquors, while the
others were in the constant and daily use
Of them. Here, he was satisfied was the
explanation. He determined, II possible,
to prevail upon them all to abstain alto
gether from their their use for at least one
year.
To this proposal they all agreed, and at
the end Of the year they were all to man
out Of debt, had supported their families In
better condition, destroyed fewer tools,
were handy and robust and enjoyed better
health. No comment Is needed.-National
Temperance Advocate.

Fixing the Responsibility.

At mass meeting OF men and women
held In the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion Building, In San Francisco, Dwight
a. Robinson, OF Lansing, Mich, spoke for
half an hour on the Anti-Saloon League.
He was followed by the Rev. Howard Rus
to fix the responsibility for the results
which follow excessive indulgence In
drink.
The latter speaker said that he blamed
every parent who did not warn his children
to keep away from saloons and to shun all
kinds Of alcoholic or malt liquors. The
saloons, he said, were mantraps that should
be pointed out to the young. Next he
blamed the moderate dripker. The sight
Of a,reeling drunkard staggering through
the streets was not likely to cause young
men to become addicted to the use Of
liquor, but snare was to be found In the
sight Of moderate drinker. While many
were capable Of taking a drink when they
pleased without becoming enslavad by the
habit, others could not drink at all without
indulging to excess. For this reason, and
for the additional fact that moderate
drinkers supported majority OF the sa-
looms, he held this class of men responsible
for large proportion Of the intemperance
that exists. @
DR.. Russell said that young women who

blamed. He said no woman with correct
sense OF propriety and Of her own safety
would make companion Of man who was
accustomed to the use OF liquor as bever-
age.
The speaker blamed the men who sell
liquor. He said saloon-keepers should be
held legally responsible as we'll as morally
accountable for the crime, poverty and suf-
fering that follow In the wake Of drunken.
ness. .35 e..
In closing the Rev. Mr.. Russell men,
toned the work OF the Anti-Saloon League
in Ohio. He said that when the league
was organized five years ago saloons were
increasing at the rate OF 500 year. he
said the league had not only stopped the
increase in the number Of saloons, but had
driven 2700 places out Of existence. BE
urged that the principles practiced with so
much success in Ohio be adopted in Cali
fornia. An effort should first be made, he
said, to close the saloons on Sunday. Then
the dives and places with side entrances
should be closed, and one by one the worst
features Of the saloon business eradicated.

Then Tanner Haustetter Blew Out His
Own Brains.
William Haustetter, famous the country
over as lion tanner, fatally shot his wife
In the right lung near the entrance OF the
Geological Garden at Cincinnati, Ohio, and
then shot himself In the head. Haustetter
died instantly.
For fifteen years Haustetter has been en-
ployed at the Zoo, where he handled lions,
tigers, leopards, panthers and hyenas; he
had all the beasts under his control and
was the only man who dared enter all the
cages.
Ele fed the lions and started for homo.
Near the entrance he met his wife and shot
her and himself. No motive for the deed
is known. he had had trouble with two
lioas in the afternoon, had beaten them
with an iron bar and was still angry when
he met his wife. He and his wife were
never known to quarrel.
Haustetter was thirty-eight and his wife
is thirty-six. They have two small chill

landmark of America, the fountain head OF
temperance literature there.
"In its great corps Of literary contribu-
tors are some OF the most eminent writers
on either side Of the sea.
"In connection with its vast philanthfopic
works it Is still pushing its good missionary
efforts among the colored people Of the
South, scattering profusion OF literature
among them, which is bringing forth
abundant fruitase as I can we'll testify
from my own personal observations among

What beverage can, ye wise ones tell,

Drank nothing else their whole lives long,
Yet foolish man full oft maintains
That alcohol his strength sustains.

The lark, the linnet, the nightingale,

And all the birds that music fling
Along our paths in gladstone spring,
And chant the great Creators praise
In sweet, melodious, tuneful lays.
1t is water Is drunk by every rose,
And every beauteous flower that blows,

The balmy, fragrant mignonette.

Let them OF drunkenness beware.

A Wise Remark.

1t is reported OF Artemus Ward that he
once offered his flask Of whisky to the driver
of the stage on the top of which he was rid
ing through mountainous section. The
stage driver refused the flask in most de-
cided tones. Said he: II don't drink; l.
won't drink: don't like to see anybody else
drink. 1 am Of the opinion Of those mount
ains-keep your top cool. They've got
snow and I've got brains: that all the differ
erence." There is great deal Of wisdom
out sound brain man is not OF much use
to the world. Alcohol, whether in beer,
cider, wine, brandy or whisky, is foe to
the brain; and when 1t gets there indames
it, and renders it unfit for use. Be like the
honest stage driver, and resolve to keep
