Joseph Frey Given up as Dead.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Herald
from Point of Rocks, Nd, March 18th,
says: Joseph Frey, a farmer living on
Heaters Island, in the Potomac River,
and who disappeared week ago to-
day, has been given up as dead.
1t is now believed that he was
drowned in The Potomac, though at
first it was thought that he had left
home mysteriously on some unknown
mission. On Monday last he was in
this village until O'Clock at night. At
that hour he went down to the river
and rowed to the island. 1t is known
that he reached his destination in safe
ty, because Charles Ingram, who went
to the boat with him, heard him chain
up the boat after he landed on the
island. Nothing has been heard of
him since then, and the impression is
now general that he fell into the river
after he had made the boat fast.
On Thursday man was arrested at
Sandy Hook, Washington County,
whose description corresponded with
that of Frey. 1t was later ascertained
that this man was not Frey. On Sat
urday and yesterday charges of dynam-
lie were fired over the river in the hope
that the conclusion would bring the
body to the surface, but these efforts
were unavailing. 1t is thought that
he met with foul play. Frey was man
of 45 years. He was married and had
threee children. He was very promi-
nent in this vicinity.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
What Our Legislators Have Been
Doing the Past Week.

The Senate, Friday, further discuss
ed the civil ice regulations. A res
olution was adopted asking the Presi-
dent for Information in regard to the
death of two American sailors at San
tiago de Cuba. In executive session
the arbitration treaty was considered
and Senator Gray spoke against the
Chiffon amendment.
The tariff bill was submitted for
amendment under the five minute
rule in the House on Friday, but hours
of work served to dispose of only nine
of the one hundred aud sixty.two
pages of the bill. All the amendments
offered BY the Democrats were rejected.
Three slight committee amendments
were adopted and also an amendment
offered by Mr.. Mahany, Republican,
of New York J. to increase the duty on
white lead from p to cents per pound,
the rate in the act of 1890. The pres
ent duty is II cents.
Before taking up the arbitration
treaty the Senate, Monday, gave an
hour to routine business in open SEES
sion. Resolutions were agreed to by
Mr.. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, ask
ing the Secretary of the Interior for in
formation relative to President Cleve-
lands order establishing forest re-
serves, aud by Mr.. GaIlinger, of New
Hampshire, calling on the civil service
commission for the reason why certain
classes Of workmen were subjected to
competitive examination contrary to
the law exempting laborers from the
classified service.
Yesterday was the most exciting day
the House has witnessed siuce the tar
if debate began. Mr.. Johnson, of In
diana, grew so obstreperous at one stage
of the proceedings in his effort to check
irrelevant debate, that the speaker had
to be summoned to the chair to restore
order. Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Lowering,
two Massachusetts, Republicans, sue
cessively assaulted the bill, the former
charging that the duties were higher
than were necessary and the latter that
the manufacturers wanted bill that
would live. 1--WE don't want to be
strangled by free trade" said he,
neither do we want to be smothered

Senator Allen (populist, of Nebras-
ka), made long speech in the Senate
Tuesday on the unconstitutionality of
tariff taxes beyond those requisite for
revenue. Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, in
troduced resolution requesting the
President for copies of the letters said
to have been written by Gen. Gomez,
the Cuban commander, to Mr.. Cleve-
land ana Mr.. Mckinley.
The Republican leaders in the House
defended their tariff bill, Tuesday, with
vigor. The Ways and Means Commit
tee held the floor with their amend.
ments from 10 o'clock in the morning
to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. About
thirty-five were offered and adopted.
Among them was one admitting free
of duty ''books, scientific apparatus,
charts, maps, etc." for scientific and
educational purposes. Five more pages
of the bill were read, making 20 pages
in all of the 1852 pages.

a BILL to permit the selling Of pools
at trotting meetings was reported favor
ably to the General Assembly of New
York State recently, and it is probable
that the measure will pass and become
a law. Influential friends of legitimate
racing are helping the bill and the
Governor is predisposed in its favor.
The enactment of this measure into the
laws of the Empire State will greatly
boom the trotting interests and stir up
the dormant horse markets. Winter
racing at outlaw tracks in New Jersey
and our own State of Maryland has
done more to outrage the public senti-
ment in this regard than all the coun-
dy fairs and grand circuit meetings
the country over, yet they all feel the
resultant evil effects of legislative pro-
hibition and religious ard social con-
domination. AS soon as the General
Assembly of Maryland couvenes, the
horsemen of the State should unite
against outlaw tracks and pool com
binations such as flourish at Elkton
and Iron Hill, Nd, and by their sup
preston, encourage and perpetuate the
healthy and enlivening pastime of
trotting and running racing for their
own and the public's benefit.

MIR. HoAR, of Massachusetts, has in
troduced bill in the Senate on lines
suggested by the w. C. T. T., at re-
cent assembly, when they took such
strong action against prize fighting.
This bill, should it become a law, will
prohibit the reproduction of any prize
fight or kindred exhibition by means
of the vatoscope, kinetoscope, projecto-
scope or similar instrument, or by pho
tograph. This act is directly intended
for the District of Columbia and the
Territories, but the Interior purpose is
to influence State Legislatures to pro-
hibit such reproductions in their COM
munities.

SPECIAL dispatches to the American
press state positively that Gen. Ruis
Riviera, one of the leading command
ers of the insurgents in Cuba, has been
wounded and taken prisoner by the
Spanish, in an engagement recently
He was known as the Sheridan of the
of the Cuban army and was a daring,
fearless soldier. Riviera ranked next
to Gomez in command, but his place
can be filled with good material, and
much rs his loss may be felt, the cause
of Cuba Libra will only be temporarily
effected by this unfortunate fatality.
Spain cannot keep up this uncertain
warfare much longer; it is costing her
millions of dollars, whilst the Cubans

If anyone has possessed the most mi

before the people as an aspirant for the
h gh office to which his fciio,0 tOrRs-
man, Wellington, was elected after
the memorable fight he made in the
caucus at Annapolis in the spring of
1895. In speaking of his candidacy
Governor Lowndes said: at has been

treated by Wellington in the last con-

ignored and that which was theirs by

SENATOR WELLINGTON was in Bal
timore recently, but was as non-com-
municative as an oyster regarding the
widely-discussed candidacy of Gov
ernOr Lowndes for the Senate this fall.
In order to thoroughly enjoy the pro-
verbal hare, one must first catch the
animal and then it is well to prepare
for the feast. Impressed with the
truth of this axiom, Mr. Wellington
is not so politically indiscreet rs to COM
nit himself to any utterances this
early in the game, which might re-
tract to his own discontinue. Just
think of the unadultgated nerve OF
the easy boss of Maryland in turning
his back upon applicants for political
positions under the new administra-
ton, and tersely advising them to take
the civil service examination. Yes,

PEELED to wa until either death or res
ignation removes the obstacles to your
advancement. Who helped to make
him what he is and whom did he
promise and pledge everything to, in
his frenzy to become United States
Senator to succeed Senator Gibson, but
to members of the Legislature. He
infportuned and hobnobbed with them
until he secured the much-coveted
prize. Now when these men want
little favors done and go to their Sen
ator to grant them, he hides behind
the civil service and says in a calm and
unimpassioned voice, 'your friends
must take the civil service eXamina-
ton before can help them" If only
this civil service humbug went far
enough to include the high officials
and thus render it perfectly unparti.

DIR. JOSEPH j. LUIS, a Cuban pat
riot, has been convicted of the crime of
violating the neutrality laws of the
United States and was sentenced in
the United States District Court of
Baltimore City, few days ago, to
eighteen months imprisonment, be-
sides fine of five hundred dollars.
This case has excited much interest
among all who have sympathy with
the cause of Cuba, and the wonder is
that this government should be so Sc
we're and vigilant in suppressing these
iustifiable indiscretions when other
dark stains upon her white ROBBED man
tie of justice escape the attention due
them. The authorities have certainly
moved mountains in their anxiety to
prosecute this man. In speaking of
the sentence the Baltimore Herald
says:
1.-THE court, under the circumstances,
had no discretion, except in the matter
of entertaining a motion for a new
trial.
: The fact is that the sentence, like
the trial and the Indictment, is part
of a miserable program, which makes
every true American feel hot blood
rising to his temples to contemplate.
Here is man helping to fight the bat
ties of his country, and he is branded
as a criminal in the Gland of the free
and the home of the brave"
1t is right and proper that the neu-
trality laws should be respected. But
when the resources of law are pushed
to the extreme, as they We're in his
case, to find any ground for prosecution.
1t is time to put the American Eagle
into mourning; to furl the 'Stars and
Stripes and to pass a law forever pro-
hibiting martial bands from playing
"Yankee Doodle or America
But DIR. Luis suffers nothing in the
estimation of intelligent men from the
finding of the court or its sentence.
The case is too well understood to de-
ceive anybody, and, even if the SUI
preme Court of the United States does
not reverse the decision of the lower
tribunal, he need not be ashamed to
look any man in the face when the
eighteen months have expired"
