bons. accompanied by Mr. Jules Bouve, of
the French embassy, occupied o scat in
the diplomatic gallery when the senate
opened The cardinal wore his skull cap,
or beretta, of scarlet, and his black habit
WINS edged with the scarlet emblematio OF
his Office.
Mr.. Chandler presented a bill providing
that no person shall be tried in the courts
of the United States for acts in aid of the
republic Of Cuba. The resolution was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, after
which Mr.. Turpie, Of Indiana, spoke on
the Cameron resolution for the reoOgni-
ton Of the independence Of Cuba. The
senator was given close attention, his as
s~ociates taking seats about him and the
galleries filing AS he began Senior
Quesada and others-of the Cuban repre-
sentatives entered the gallery During
the course of his speech there was consid-
cradle Of a stir in the galleries.
How inconsiderate to say" said Mr..
Turpie, "that che death of Maceo ended
the contest. Maceo is dead, but the Cuban
cause still lives" He went on to speak Of
the fall of General Warren and General
Montgomery in American annals. Their
deaths had not stopped the independence
of the United States. The senator recalled
the circumstances Of Maceo's death and
the report that DR.. Zertuoha for $4,000
had betrayed Maceo to his death. Spain
WINGED under this charge, he said, and
added: "This General Weyler, who uses
his sword against women and children,
this general who meets the foe with paper
bullets, this Herod Of Havana, was com
PEELED TO issue n denial of the report"
The senator threw intense vigor into his
characterization of the "Herod of Havana "
"This indescribable diminutive reptile,
who is Germed captain general Of Cuba, H. -
Mr.. Turpie went on, gave no title TO
Maceo in issuing this denial, although
Maceo was a major general" The senator
said Weyler's course recalled that of enc
mics Of the United States who addressed
the first president as Mr.. Washington. Mr..
Turpie paid a glowing tribute to Maceo,
and said that, like the memory Of Ameri-
can heroes to Americans, SO would the
memory of Maoeo be perpetuated in the
hearts of the people Of Cuba hbre.
The rest of the session was devoted to
eulogies on the late Speaker Crisp.
In the house MIR. johnson, Of Indiana,
secured the floor, and took advantage OF
the latitude allowed in debate to read a
speech in favor Of an emily reform Of ouI
banking and currency laws. He de-
scribol the depressed condition which ex-
listed ia the recent campaign, and argued
that unless ths incoming Republican
administration corrected the evils it will
be swept out of power in 1870, and the
country would suffer loss and disaster,
which it would take years to eradicate.
Unless there was a thorough and ade-
quate revision Of our banking and cur
rency laws, he said, there could be nc
lasting prosperity. He agreed with the
president that the greenbacks should be
retired. He thought that in the establish
ment of a broader banking system the
banks should have the privilege Of issu.
ing notes against their assets.
After disposlng of a part of the Indian
appropriation bill, which carries 81, 525, 791
or S246,26 more than the estimate and
1866, 294 more than the current law, the
house adjourned.
