HOLDING UP GIBBONS.
Senator Chiffon Requests That the
AppOintee Be Not Confirmed
For While.

Washington. April 29.-Con-
gressman Crawford has request
ed Senator Chiffon to ask that
action on the confirmation Of
Mr.. Gibbons as postmaster at
Paris be suspended for the
present.
Senator Chiffon acceded to the
request, and so even if the COM
mittee on pOstOf1ices and post
roads of the senate would act
on any confirmation, which it
will not do except in eXtraOr-
dinary cases. the confirmation
of Gibbons would be held up.
The reason for Mr.. Cranford's
request is that he received a
letter from DR.. Stell of Paris,
who wrote that it had always
been the policy of the people to
agree that the postmaster should
serve out his term. In the pres
ent instance the democratic
postmaster died. The desire Of
DR.. Stell and those who agree
with him is that the daughter Of
the deceased postmaster should
be allowed to serve out the term
of her father.
A petition has been sent here
to this effect and was presented
to the president by Mr.. Gram
ford. The president referred
him to the postmaster general.
All the candidates for the posi-
ton are said to have agreed to
the lady serving out the time
with the exception of Mr.. Glib
bons.
Mr.. Crawford informed me
that he was informed that Mr..
Gibbons did not protest against
this course unless it would pre-
judice his chances for the office
in some way or in any way en-
barrasss those who aided him
in getting the Office.
There is no protests against
him as far as Senator Chiffon OF
Representative Crawford know,
the only question being whether
I the lady shall serve out the term
her father. 1t is reported
that if Gibbons should make
the concession he would

T.-Whereas, on the 18th day
of April, 1897, all that was
mortal of our worthy brother,
w. II. Cullen, passed from this
life to that realm from whence
no traveller has ever returned.
And,
Whereas, we feel deeply and
keenly that we have lost one of
our true and tried knights and
one who was ever faithful to
the teachings of our noble or
der; always eXemplifed his
friendship for and confidence
in his brothers by his conduct
toward them.
Resolved, we have lost one
of our most useful members and
the order one OF its staunch
and noble supporters.
Resolved, we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the grief
stricken wife and parents that
they may look to the Almighty
for guidance, for He doeth all
things well, and from whose
ruling there IL no appeal; for
His ways are past finding ont,
and we are assured that all

good OF them that love him.

that the wife and the parents

The phrase "A Land of Promise,

The phrase "A Land of Promise,
probably very nearly describes the ca
liabilities of the island of Cuba. With
a length of IT'S miles, almost the dis
lance from New York to Chicago, a
width varying from 80 to 100 miles,
and an area about equal to that of
Pennsylvania, Cuba, in the words Of
United States Consul Hyatt, of San
tlaku de Cuba, stands in geographical
position which, with her productive
soil, mineral wealth and climatic con
dttions. should entitle her to rank
among the foremost countries of the
world. That she does not occupy any
thing like this position is no inherent
fault of the island itself, but rather Of
conditions growing out of the lack of a
stable and just government and of a
contented people. When the first es-
senslal is obtained, 1t is the opinion OF
those acquainted with the island and
Its possibilities, Cuba will rapidly pro-
coed to occupy Its deserved position.
Although discovered and settled more
than fifty years before the United
States, Cuba has still $4,000, 900 acres OF
primeval forests where the woodman's
