IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO CALL BACK THE SAN
Gully RESOLUTION.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations held a special meeting this
morning for the purpose Of agaic considering the
resolution reported yesterday instructng the
President to demand the immediate release OF
Julio Sanguily an American citizen now in prison
in CUBE. This meeting was forced by the atti-
tudc OF the members of the Committee on APP
propriations who, through Chairman ALISON
gave notice yesterday afternoon that all business
must give way 10 appropriation bills. The Com
mittee on Foreign Relations believes that the
situation in Cuba demands the attention OF the
Senate fully as much as do the appropriation
measures. especially in view Of the treatment OF
Sanguilv and the repeated violations OF the treaty
rights of Americans in the island.
The case was carefully discussed this morning
and the committee reached the unanimous con-
cluson that the Senate could afford to walt no
longer for Spain to keep her promise made TO
Secretary Olney TO release Sanguily. and the de-
cison was reached to insist upon the considera-
ton and passage Of the resolution to the OPPOSE
ton of appropriation measures and everything
else.

Mr. White-Of course we are all opposed to

A PLEASANT DREAM.

Governor HocOmb, OF Nebraska, requests
the legislature to respond to Kansas invitation
to appoint commission to inquire into the adj
visibility of the three states of Nebraska, Kan
sas and Texas building railroad from the
The governor of Nebraska is moved to say that
it is great hardship for the farmers of Nebras-
ka that they have to ship their product II 700
miles before reaching the seaboard, just because
the railway magnates refuse to give them the
benefit of shorter route Hocomb will now
be called an anarchist by the Republican news
papers, and if the federal courts ever have an
opportunity, they will decide that railroad
by the states is unconstitutional. States have
no right to build railroad. States rights is
dead. We are only ndulging in pleasant
dream, and we will continue to send our pro-
duct by the long routes; just to pay dividends
on watered stock.
Governor Leedy is already an anarchists
double-dyed anarchist-but it was hoped that
Holcomb might be saved, as it were by fire.
Holcomb has too much sympathy for the men
who raise and sell Scent corn, and who barely
secure the necessaries of life. Sympathy for
the struggling farmer is deadly sin the fires of
purgatory cannot burn out
Depew, Huntington and the Vanderbilts will
never forgive Leedy and Holcomb Neither
will Mark Hanna. Touch not 1.-THE Lords an

to entertain theimpious suggestion. The farm

be otherwise ? Are not Mark Hanna, Rookie
Teller, Havemyer, Depew and their Republican
machine the government And if SO, are not
the Leedys and the Hocoms to be cast out in
to outer darkness, where the worm dieth not
and the fire is not quenched?

Horoscope for Mckinley.

ST. LOUIS March If the horoscope of the
Mckinley administration cast by Julius Erick-
son, the young astrologer of this city, is full
filled, the presdent-elect will have four years
of marked excitement. Erickson among other
things says: If McKinlcy's inauguration takes
place at I2:45 there will be grave danger of the
country drifting into war; There will be cold
comfort for the Democratic party in this, be-
cause they will hot be able to win four years
hence.
The opponents of Mr.. MCKINLEY assert that
the policy of the administration will be decided
in favor of the trusts, corporations, plutocrats
and money grabbers. l beg to differ with them.
The astrological indications point to the contra
nv. In fact there will be general breaking up
of plutocratic organizations, which will necess-
arly rebound to the benefit of the masses. The
administration will be distinctly American and
startling news NAV be expected from Washing
ton from March IS to 20. Martial men and mar
tial measures will be to the FORE 81 think that
we will have comfortable excitement this COM
ing year and plenty i'll Illinois, and fear that
the latter part of this year and the first of next

Congress will incline to act harmoniousy

strongly developed 1t is doubtful whether we
will have the prosperous times that have been
promised us at once within six months, but
the indications point to prosperous admins
