VAS TIE STATE BEEN TOO ExrRAvAcAN7a

Within few weeks the commission
named at the last session of the legis
lature to make an examination of ev-
cry department of the state govern
ment, and the method of management
of every public Institution in the state,
will be called together to begin their
labOrs, says the Atlanta Constitution.
The resolution by which the commit
tee was appointed was very sweeping,
1t will be remembered that at the
special session Of the legislature called
to receive the report of the house com
mittee which examined the charges
against Judge SeabOrn Reese and
Judge Joel Sweat resolution was in
troduced by Mr.. BlaIock, Of Fayette,
authorizing the naming of committee
whose duty it would be to exam ne ev-
cry department Of the state. 1t was
the idea of the representative, who
made a record during the last session
of the legislature as the champion of
economy, that there was too much
money expended in the different de-
partments and institutions of the state.
The committee will go into the costs
Of the state university, the asylum, the
Girls Normal and Industrial school,
the State Normal school, the convict
camps, and, in fact, every department
requiring any expenditure from the
state treasury.

CUBAN BELL1GEkENCY RECOGNIZED
HOar, Hale and Other Mossybacks Couln
Not Stop 1t.


WAsHINGTo1, May 20.-The Cuban
question was forced to TIE front in the
senate again today, and Joint resolu-
ton declaring a state If war to exist in
Cuba and recognizing the Cubans as bel
ligerents was passed by an overwhelm-
ing vote.
The popular tide could no longer be
held back by such old mossybacks as
Senators Hoar, Hale and Hawley, and
when the vote was taken this afternoon
the resolution went through with a rush.
Following is the full text of the resolu-
ton as adopted:
"Re'olved, That a condition of public
war exists between the government of
Spain and a government proclaimed and
Tor some time maintained by force of
arms by the people of Cuba, and thai the
United States of America shall main
tain strict neutrality between the con-
tending parties, according to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States.'
The resolution, while known as the
Morgan resolution, is really, as was stat
ed by Senator Morgan, the original reso-
luton introduced by Senator Sherman.
now secretary of state.
The vote on the resolution stood al "a
IA. Eighteen republicans, nineteen
democrats and four populists voted in
the affirmative, and twelve republi-
cans and two demOcrts voted in the neg
atiVe.

ANsoSIA, Conn. July 24.-It was not until
the latter part of last week that the frisky Con-
necticut lightning with a reddish tinge in its
glare began TO get in its work this season; but It
had enough fun then to make up for lost timo.
1t was In Goshen. at tho upper end OF the

The first fash that came in the storm Just tri ed
its craftsmanship. Darius Thompson had been
setting bean poles in his garden that morning.
and one OF them was particularly straight and
handsome, somewhat taller than the others. The
bolt singled out that particular bean pole,
struck it on the tip end. and split 1t down to the
other end, a foot or more under ground.
Having satisfied itself Of its aim and having
got the range. 1t took another shot. This time
1t aimed at the lightning rod on Fred Williams's
house. Eighteen inches of the top OF the rod. in.
it had ben An icicle. and stuck into the roof
several yards away. Then another section OF
the rod was clippet of. about eight feet OF it,
torn from its fasten.ngs and rammed ten n"hes

Then the bolt bored its way into the parlor,
where another b~c.!stead had been put up for an
emergency. 1t also struck this bed, tore off the
brass casters, hacked huge splinters OF the
woodwork, and wnnt through the mattress

a closet in this room. but the playful electricity
sought him out and xii ed him. Then, b wing

This finished its work on the Williams farm
but 1t struck several trees in that section OF the
