A SNUB FOR OLNEY.
The Senate Committee Refused Iis Re
quest In the SauguilIy Case.

The Senate Committee Refused His ke-
quest In the Sanguily Case.
Washington. February 25.-The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
met to-day to consider the request of
the State Department that the commit
tee do not press its resolution demand
ing the immediate release of Gen. Julio
Sangullly from a Spanish prison in
Cuba. The committee gave the sub
iec4 careful attention, but declined to
grant the request.
n appeared from the statement of
the Secretary of State that the Spanish
governments promise to release San
gully was coupled with the provision
that he should withdraw his appeal
from the second sentence Of the Cuban
court. and it was stated that his re-
lease could be secured at any time that
this condition should be complied
with. The committees discussion was
on this point and the opinion was gen
orally expressed that for Gen. Sangullly
10 pursue this course would be inadvis-
able. for the reason that II, would
amount to an acknowledgment of guilt
and would be equivalent to the ahan-
donment of anv claims that he might
have against the Spanish government
for damages.
The committee. therefore, DECIDED 10
nress the consideration Of the resolu-
ton reported yesterday.

WASHINGTON. February 25.-U is un-
derstood here. and Tho fact may have an
important bearing upon the treatment Of
the Sancuiuy case if well established. that
the withdrawal OF his appepal to-day was
without prejudice; i'm other words thar it
Goes not estop him from taking action I'm
the future If he feels that he has reason, to
secure indemnity for his imprisonment.
Tt appears that the only legal method or
securing the prisoners discharge speedily
was ,hat adopted by his counsel. namely.
Withdrawing tine appeal that had been
taken from the sentence of tne lower court
i'm Cuba.
Perhaps the same result could have been
Obtained by allowing The appeal to DE
heard by the cour, at Madrid. but this i'm
volyed a long wait and so long as the ap-
peal was pending the Spanish law did not
admi, of a pardon. So for the beneA, OF
the prisoner his counsel at Havana was
made aware of the state of the law. They
readily agreed to withdraw their appeal I'm
this state of the case and now they are
awaiting with anxiety the possible inter-
rupuon of Their plan by the action of the
Senate. This is indicated CAS- well as the
arrangement for the saving of all rights
by a letter which Senator Sherman has
received from J. 5. Rodriguez. Sanguillys
counsel and which appears to have been
regarded I'm the Senate debate to-day as a
letter from Secretary Olney.

as confession on the part Of the Leg
islature Of its Iucapacity and unitness
to perform the work OF revising the
constitution.
President Whitaker said there was
no popular demand fox revision Of the
constitution. He had Eeceived large
number of letters from MIS- constituents
during the session, and he had not re-
ceived one that asked for any amend
ments to the contiCut.on.
The resolution was passed. and re-
ported to the House, where it was hoped
that it would be taken mp and put
through. but it did not nave plain\ \sail-
ing in that body. Mr. Henshaw moved
to take up the resolution, but The

Several of the members claimed that
the ruling was unfair; that there was
nothing pending before the House when
the motion was made and that the
resolution should have been taken up
for consideration.

With Advancing Summer.

Some of the newest skirts have
trimmed sides and a narrow, plain
front; others show the back as well, or
namented.
No matter what anyone may say to
the contrary. odd waists of taffeta are
still numbered in the wardrobes of
women of fashion, and will be this fall.
You can hardly put too much lace on
your midsummer gowns, whether they
be of silk, cotton or the very fashion
able thin wooden goods of semi-trans-
parent nature, like the revived bareges
and veilings worn.
There is every prospect of tucks re-
manning in fashion for the fall, and the
revived cashmere gown will be orna-
mented in this manner. The round,
tucked corsage is too becoming to slen-
der figures to allow it to drop, and the
dry goods merchant will rejoice at the
fashion that sells more material.-Chi-

The very latest linen collaris of white
linen of home manufacture. The best
of collar linen is bought and slashed
to make square ends, standing out
around the neck. Linen stiffening is
then put inside and the collar is fin
ished with band, buttonhole, etc., like
any ordinary collar. Around the ends
there is now stitched tiny, narrow Ham
burg edging. The points are now
turned under and the collars neatly
stitched, after which it is Numbered and
is ready to wear above a ribbon or fast
ened in the neck of dress like any
other collar. This makes soft, neat
finish for the neck like ruching, but

Happy influence of "A Gentle Protest
and "a Square Meal.
If there is anything 1 despise and
detest," said Mrs. Billtops, tits melan-
choly."
Mrs. Billtops is not often so vigorous
in speech as this, and when she is Mr..
Dilltops knows that it is time to brace
up. AS a matter of fact he takes usual
ly a cheerful view; but when he is de-
pressed, as he is occasionally, he is
glum and silent and solemn enough,
and he makes everybody around him
wretched. The children, sitting at the
table, stop talking, the dinner gets
cold, and everybody is chilly and mis-
cradle except, perhaps, at the last, Mr..
Billtops himself, who finds, finally, a
sort Of melancholy pleasure In the gen.
eral depression that he has caused.
But Mrs. Biltops has no use for any
body that casts gloom. She has her
own trials. but she never bothers any
body else about them; outwardly, at
least. she is cheerful and spirited al
ways, and she can't abide any body that
let's his troubles so far overcome him
that he infiicts them on other people,
too, and so she says:
If there is anything l despise it's
melancholy"
At that MIR. hilltop takes brace.
he looks up and smiles. 1t is wonderful
with what alacrity the children re-
spond, and Mr.. Billtops responds to
that, and gloom is dispelled once more
by the ever grateful Light of cheerful
ness. And when Mr.. Bifltops, as the
phrase goes, gets something to eat, he
feels himself better still. He remem-
bers what he has often said to himself,
that no feeling of depression should
ever be accepted as genuine until it has
been subjected to the test of a good
square meal, and he finds that the pres
ent one will not stand that test. In
fact, under the combined influences of
Mrs. Billtops' energetic protest and the
good dinner it is rapidly disappear
ing, and as the dinner progresses MIR.
Billtops takes still broader and more
cheerful view of things, and by the time
the meal is finished he is beaming with
good nature, perfectly satisfied with
the present, and absolutely confident
of the future.-N. Y. Sun.

PATIENT OLD AGE.
1t Always Finds Friends and sympa.
thizers.

:
thizers.
Truly there are trials belonging to old
age which are hard to bear. The loss OF
faculties is the hardest writes Mrs.
Lynn Linton. So long as one can en-
ploy oneself, not asking help from any
person-so long as one can read. write,
work, knit-what you will in the way
of Independent occupation, old age has
lost one of its worst infections.
When blindness and deafness and in
ability to use the hands, and such bod
lily weakness as makes movement i'm.
possible-when all these have over
taken the old, then the dregs are indeed
bitter. And then there is nothing for
it but the grand, brave dignity of pa
tience-the noble resignation which &C
cepts the inevitable and makes the best
of bad conditions.
Patient old age always finds friends
and sympathizers, where the peevish
and the grumbler, like camphor atoms,
repel all with whom they come in con-
tact. When old age is selfish and re-
pining-thinking only of its past joys
or its present pains, the young, to whom
patience is a natural virtue, and the
shrinking from annoyance is natural
instinct, these young shrink from the
poor, soured old creature, whose talk is
a threnody and whose daily life is an
unwilling martyrdom.
They cannot console, and they feel
the jealousy which denies them sympa-
thy and gives them instead an angry
kind of reprobation. They suffer in the
cold and shadow of loveless and I'M
sympathetic, selfish and grasping age.
They would give love If they had love
to give them; but when they know that
the glory of their young days serves as
a text for unkindly comments and I'M
sympathetic feeling, then they with.
draw, and shrink, and fail to show those
sweet attentions which the young love
to show the old-if so be those dregs are
swallowed patiently and are not flung
as so much poison into the fresh faces
whose lips are red with the wine as yet
sparkling, foaming and unexhausted.

Spelling CHILDREN.
There Are Many Ways in Which Thi
Task Is Accomplished.

It isn't q difficult task to spoil a
child No great art is demanded in &C.
complishing this result Make all the
nurses wait ON him and fly at his bid
ding, writes DR.. Talmage. Let him
learn never to go for q drink, but al
ways have it brought to him. At ten
years of age have Bridget tie his shoe
strings. Let him strike auntie because
she will not get him a sugar plum.
He will soon learn that the house is
his realm, and he is to rule it. He will
come up into manhood one of those
precious spirits that demand obeisance
and service, and with the theory that
the world is his oyster which with his
knife he will proceed to open But If
the child be insensible to all such
efforts 10 spoil him, try the plan of
never saying anything encouraging to
him. If he do wrong, thrash him
soundly; but if he do well keep ON
reading the newspaper, pretending not
to see him. There are excellent people,
who, through fear o. produc-
ing childish vanity, are unre-
sponsive to the very best en-
deavor. When child earns parental
applause he ought to have it. If he get
up head at school, give him a book or
an apple. If he saw bully on the play
ground trampling on sickly boy, and
your son took the bully by the throat
SO tightly that he became a little varie-
gated in color, praise your boy, and let
him know that you love TO have him the
champion Of the weak. Perhaps you
would not do right a day if you had no
more prospect of reward than that
which you have given him If on COM
mencement day he make the best
speech, or read the best essay, tell him
of it Truth is always harmless, and
the more you Use of it the better. II
your daughter at the conservatory take
the palm, give her a new piece of mu-
sic, ring, kiss, or blessing. Never
withhold due need of praise.-House-
