Washington. Jan. /. on of e lead
ing New England representa- rs said
today THE Cameron resolutions will
hardly get to the House, They will he
talked to death. While we want nothing
done hastily or ill-advisedly the savage
butchery that is going on in Cuba is a
shame and a disgrace to civilization of
the century and grim sarcasm upon
it, and l believe this great republic
cannot with self respect and justifica-
stion stand still much longer and see it
go on. AS for war with Spain that
will not come. 1t is held out only as a
menace and scarecrow.
In the first place the acknowledge
ment by this government of Cuba's
belligerent rights cannot and will not
be held to be a cause of war by Spain.
II am sure that the Spanish minister
does not so hold
Spain acknowledged the southern
confederates as belligerents in 40 days
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon
and before a real battle had been
fought. How can she declare war upon
us for doing to her the same thing
which she much more hastily did to us :?
She does not intend to do it. but if by
threatening us she can keep us in our
present attitude of being rendezvous
for her forces, or a place whence she
may freely ship men and arms and
ammunition and supplies, and have our
government employed in watching and
preventing arms, men and ammunition
and supplies going from here to the
Cubans, why, then she makes us to a
certain degree, practically her ally in
her efforts to suppress the Cuban pa
triots. That, of course, suits her.
But the President raises the point
that he alone has the right to recog
nize or refuse to recognize the Cubans
as belligerent. There is no doubt that
he has some strong presidents to sus-
tain him. though they are by no means
all one way. But this contention will
defeat any recognition sol
long as he is. President.
In the meantime / do not believe wei
should crawfish on this matter, SO as
to discourage the Cuban patriots, or
show the white feather. If Spain can
stand upon her dignity and claim her
rights, so can we, and her atrocities in
Cuba put her almost out of the list
Of civilized nations. 1t is great shameI
that the International relations of ma
tons are such, that they feel forced to
ook coldly on and see so many of the |
human race outraged and butchered
without lending helping hand to the |
lnder dog in the fight.

A large platform extending out from
the Speakers desk accommodated the
inaugural party and the state officers
Admission to the Assembly chamber,

President md Mrs. Cleveland Give
Receptionsin Blue Room.
Vice President and Cabinet Officials Also eIve
Receptions In City.


Years reception at the White House
took place, today, according to long es-
tablished custom. 1t constituted the
yearly ordeal of the President and the
mistress of the White House, for they
must shake hands with many hundreds,
several thousand, in fact. of their fell
low citizens and large number OF
distinguished foreigners.
AS on last New Years dak the crowd
that participated in and Witnessed the
reception was very largG'~It was the
last function of the sort in which Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland will figure as the
principal characters. The interior OF
the mansion had been lavishly deco.
rated for the occasion.
A suggestion Of the tropics was given
by a survey Of the decorative arrange
ments. In the. blue room, the official
chamber of the White House, with Its
delicately tapestried walls, the artistic
effect was well carried out. 1t was In
this apartment that the President. Mrs
Cleveland and the receiving party
stood.
The red room had a profusion Of
tall rubber plants and palms. Jardin-
ieres OF greenish tinge holding grow
ing plants cOmported well with the
permanent hangings of the green room
In the broad corridor leading from the
east room past the reception chambers
to the private staircase at the western
end, a few rubber trees and palms
sufficed for decorative purposes as all
the space that could be obtained there
was necessary TIC accommodate the
constantly moving throng.
Those who paid their respects to
President and Mrs. Cleveland passed
out of the receiving chamber into the
green room and thence into the spa
cious east room, the scene of so many
historical occurrences. Six hundred
people is the ordinary capacity of this
apartment.
Today, filled to an uncomfortable de-
gree with foreign ENJOYS. officers of
the army and navy high judicial
senators, representatives
and many civilians. with a large num-
Der of ladies. They were not so
crowded, however. as to be unable to
see and appreciate the floral beauty
Eleven . CLOCK was the HOuT Set LOT
the beginning of the reception. Before
that time members of the diplomatic
corps. ambassadors. ministers. at
taches and their wives and daughters
had begun to arrive and were ushered
into the red room, where they awaited
the signal to pass along the line.
Out in the public lobby the United
States Marine Band waited the signal
to play. Suddenly the instruments
burst forth into Hail to the Chief"
Down the private staircase came the

Rome, the City of the Popes.

The great Caesars of ancient Rome i'm
mortalized their names by erecting gil
gantic structures, which even to-day
though buried in the dust of ages, by
the enormous proportions of their ruins
claim the admiration of the world The
massive walls of the Colosseum, the
broken colonnades and porticos, the
Forum of Augustus arising anew by
excavation from the SOIL the triumphal
arches bearing the impress of conflagra-
tons. earthquakes and war, the Circus
Maximus at the foot of the Aventine--
all speak of the glory past. The proud
Mistress of the World had fallen, and
Christian Rome arose upon it's ashes
bearing aloft the standard of immor-
tality and civilization, Christ's religion
succeeded idolatry, and His Vicar on
earth rules in the place Of the naughty
profligate emperors; Rome became the
city of the Popes.-M. r. Taylor, in
Donahoe's.
