Another small boy belonging to the

one of the committee what he thought
of the new small parks? He answered
promptly: II don't see why the mayor
makes so many parks, where all you
can do is to walk or ride in carriage
or rido a wheel, if you've got one, and
can't do nothing else. What he ought
to do is to give the boys a water park

RESOLUTION ON CUBA
sJr. Allen Urges the Recognition Of
the Islands independence.
INTERESTED PARTIES IN The way.
Holders OF spanish Bonds and Owners Of
Property In Cuba the Ones That Pre-
vent Cuba's Freedom Pension
Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The first gun
in congress for Cuban independence
was fired in the senate yesterday by
Senator Allen. of Nebraska. He offered
resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the senate that congress
should, with all due convenient speed,
acknowledge by appropriate act the po-
litical independence Of Cuba. Mr.. Allen
said that he had long urged the United
States torecognize the independence Of
the Cuban insurgents. He would not be
content with the recognition of bellig-
erency, but would insist upon the ac-
acknowledgement of absolute political
liberty. He was satisfied that the peo-
pie would not be content with the
course advised by the administration.
Inasmuch as the Cubans for more
than two years, on many battle
fields, had demonstrated their valor
and love of liberty, he felt that
they had earned a recognition of their
political liberty and that it ought to be
accorded to them without further tenn
porizing. "If necessary" he said. "this
recognition should be backed by fleet
of American vessels in Cuban waters"
He expressed belief that the owners Of
Spanish bonds in this country. Ameri-
can citizens holding property in Cuba,
injured or destroyed by the insurgents,
and the carrying trade of the country,
which might be affected by such a
step, had joined to prevent the recogni-
tion Of Cuba's political independence.
Mr.. Allen expressed the belief that
President McKinley's statement in his
message. that the recognition Of the
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents
is now unwise and therefore inadlnissi-
BILE, would be a great disappointment
to the members of the republican
party throughout the United States
The national convention of that party
had declared in favor of the independ-
ence of Cuba, going farther than the
simple recognition OF belligerency. He
thought that the president was under
obligations to carry out the pledge
which his party had made-a pledge
which had been made to $4,000, 900
people.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Aliens re-
marks Mr.. Hoar presented a resolution
expressing the regret of the senate at
the news of the death of Representa-
tive Ashley B. Wright Of Massachu-
setts and providing for an adjourn.
ment as a further mark of respect. At
1865 o'clock the resolution was adopt
ed and the senate adjourned.

A SUIT DECIDED.
The Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association
Wins the Lease Case

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 13.-In May, 1888,
the legislature OF the Cherokee Indian
nation authorized a lease Of 1000, 900
acres to the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
association for SlOO, 900 a year for five
years, the rent to be doubled at the
end of that time and the contract re-
newed. The company stopped paying
rent in June, 1890, and Joel b. Mayes,
the chief. sued for the rental for that
year. The case was tried in the Kan
sas supreme court, which has
decided that as the United States
did not consent to the lease and
congress made the governments
consent condition precedent to such
a contract, the Indians were not en-
titled to recover. 1t is declared to be
a contract forbidden by law, which
leaves the parties without remedy.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. There are III
widows of the war of 1912 drawing
pensions Of IS per month from the
government pension agency in Chi.
cago, and there are II other agencies
in the country. Although there are
only IA survivors of this war now liv.
ing. there are 3,2S7 widows of men
who fought in 1872 drawing IS per
month from the government. As this
war closed SO years ago, it is argued
that these widows must have been
very young and their husbands ex.
tremely aged at the time of the mar
riages. these figures were obtained
yesterday from Gen. W. b. Anderson,
United States pension agent for the
Chicago district, and were used to
illustrate the generals strong words
favoring the passage of the bill now
in congress to exclude from the pen
sion rolls widows who may have mar
ried old soldiers in their dotage for
the purpose of drawing the veterans
pensions after their death.
BOOKER wAsHINGToN's GOOD ADVICE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Booker 7.
Washington, the founder and head Of
the industrial school for colored peo-
pie at Tuskegee, Ala, advises the men
of his race to keep out of politics and
not to seek office. Don't try to gov
ern the country" he says to them,
"until you know how. Educate your
self and take care of your own inter-
ests and promote your own fortunes
and leave the interests OF other people
to ~ cared for by men of education
and experience" Mr.. Washington
came to this city the other day to have
an interview with the president, but
was not able to do so, owing to
the latter's absence in Canton. He
would have advised the president
against the appointment OF colored
men to office in the south. He says
that it stimulates an ambition among
their friends and the members of the
race generally to seek living by pol.
itics instead of by the trades and other
industries. and has demoralizing in
fluence. At the same time it provokes
hostilities among the whites and keeps
alive race prejudices. The only career
Mr. Washington sees for his race is in
industrial and agricultural education.
