he is reported improved, and there are

Treport, a seashore resort, stands in
part high above the sea on varying
cliffs that slope into beach and marsh
at the southwark. The other morning
at the foot of these cliffs, few yards
from the shore, the tide being low, some
fishermen found the body of a youth
and a young woman bound tightly to-
gether, while at their neoks was tied

The local police at first thought that
it was a case of robbery and double

fact that the young woman's watch and
the woman's jewels had not been re.

This holy man OF God has been
preaching twice a day under his tent,
until yesterday morning, when SER
vices were conducted in the Methodist
Church through the kindness Of that
congregation, in consequence OF the
weather. It has been my good for
tune to hear this pure good man every
time he has preached, and 1 am free
to say he is more than the equal of
any evangelist I have ever heard, and
I believe I have heard them all. He
has none of the Sam Jones' vulgari-
ty and slang about him, but is an ex-
FOUNDER of the Holy Bible, and proves
every assertion he makes from that
sacred book. He is a man Of most COM
handing address, n appearance;
whose sermons are most logical, and
clearly and ~eloquently expressed, and
what he says carries conviction to his
hearers. Not one word has escaped
his lips that could in any wise give
offence. or shock even the most fas-
tidious hearer. His services are large
ly attended, and many lave come for
var and asked the prayers Of the
church, and l believe he will do i'm
mems good in this community.

Views of Senators on Cuba and Hawaii Mat

Washington, December 4.-Senator
Davis, Of Minnesota, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
was among the congressional arrivals
today. He stated that the Hawaiian
annexation treaty would be taken up
by the senate next Tuesday and he
considered thereafter in executive ses-
sion. AS to the outlook for the ratifi-
cation Of the treaty the senator de-
clined to express an opinion, saying he
had not canvasesd the situation since
the treaty was laid aside at the close
Of the extra session of congress-. Mr..
Davis Will not DISCUSS the Cuban
question.
Senator Frye, of Maine, who is next
in rank to Mr.. Davis on the committee
on foreign relations, is more out spoken
as to Cuba. He said today that he
was in favor of action favorable to the
insurgents and that he believed it
would be impossible to prevent some
sue expression in both house and sem
ate his session. On the other hand,
Mr.. Hale. of Maine, who led the fight
oSo1Alo IN ooodl a. lilC
last session, expresses confidence in
the conservative course of President
Mckinley as to the Cuban question and
feels that this will have a material in
fence in preventing the agitation.
| Chairman Dingley, of the ways and
means committee. was among the ar
rivals today. After comforting with
Chairman Cannon, of the committee on
appropriations, the general programme
for the opening days of the house was
mapped out. Mr.. Dingley was INFORM
ed that the two appropriation bills
pensions and Legislative, executive and
judiCial-were practically completed.
It was determined then to take them
| up at the outset. When they are out
of the way it is probable that the
bankruptcy legislation will have a
hearing.
Representative Bailey, the democratic
leader on the floor Of the house, ar
rived today. He said it was too early
TO outline the coarse Of the minority in
the house.
