IN THE HOUSE.

Cuban affairs furnished the house with a day of bitter partisan debate The res- olution appropriating $50,00O for the re- lief of American cfizens was adopted without dissenting vote, but the demo- crats endeavored to force consideration also of the Morgan resolution for recog- nition of the belligerency of the insur- gents They accused the republicans of endeavoring to evade this issue, but the dominant party, through its spokesman, n, Mr. Hit, made the important statement that the republicans desired not to em- barrass negotiations which were being protected by President Mckinley to se- cure the independence of Cuba. While MT. Hit disclaimed presidential author ivy for his statement it was we'll known that he had been in consultation with Mir. Mckinley on the question and knew whereof he spoke.
 The days programme was that forecast by the Associa ted Press. The committee on rules presented report giving two hours debate on the relief resolution.
 Mr. Bailey endeavored to present the views of the minority of the committee and to move a recommittal, bu. was de- clared out of order by Speaker Reed.

UNEASINESS AT ATHENS.

London, May 20.-The correspondent. of the Times at Athens says: The news of a fortnight's armiItice has caused a general feeling of uneasiness here.

THE DEATH BED SCENE.
Wife and Children WEh Him In the Last Hour-Marked Tribute to the Dead.

Wife and Children With Him In the Last
 Hour-Marked Tribute to the Dead.
 Charleston, s. C., May 20.-A special from Gr.anville to the News and Courier says: Senat tor Earle died this afternoon at twenty minutes after o'clock. The immediate cause of death was Bright's disease which rapidly developed in the past few days. Yesterday morning the symptoms were not more serious than Tor the past few weeks, and there was no immediate fear of death. At o'clock this morning there was a marked change for the worse and he was supposed to be dying. He rallied later, and although no hope of recovery was entertained. yet there was hops that he would hold out for a day or two. All through ,che day he had gradually been sinking, and it was only question of a few hours when the end would come His strong will power asserted itself and he rallied this morning. During the day there was a hush over the city, as it was known that the favorlte son of this county was in the shadow of death. All through the day there was giving away and rally fof lowing, but each hour the senator was weaker. Never for moment did h. lose consciousness, but retained his clearness of mind and accepted the condition that he would live only few hours. All the members of his ia mily Were with him this afternoon Gradually he grew weaker, but he calmly awaited the end, never evincing any nervousness or fear of his impending fate. The low sobs of wife and children who stood around his bed side echoed the short. heavy breathing of the sufferer. His breathing grew slower, and with his gaze resting on his beloved wife at twenty minutes after 5 o'clock the weary, patient sufferer was at rest.
 The solemn tolling of the city alarm bell announced the death of Senator Earle. In a short time all the stores of ths city were closed, and citizens were mourning :he death of the most distin- gusIied citizen of Greenville. No ar- engagements have yet been made for the funeral The time will probably be made to meet the convenience of the usual con- gressonal committee.

THE QUESTION OF INDEMNITY.

Athens, May 20.-M. Ralli the premier in the course of an interview today, said: 'The indemnity which Greece will pay to Turkey will be in proportion to the re- sources of Greece and her financial po- sition. The cessation of territory is out of the question. Greece cannot accept a modification of the strategic frontier which would render easy the raiding of Greek territory by armed bands and which would compel Greece to maintain a numerous army in order to prevent such dncursions."

 London, May 20.-The Times corre- spondent at Athens says: When the crown prince arrived at Lanai he had been practically abandoned by his army. Col. Mastrapas and his divi- sion had already left the town directing their flight toward Alamana, Molono and Atalanti.
 After vainly trying to collect the rem nants of his army at Lanai the crown prince, with his staff, went to Alamana, where another attempt was made to rally the fugitive troops. But this was only partly successful and during the whole of Tuesday, Lanai lay deserted and at the mercy of the Turks, who, however, made no attempt to occupy it.
