ADMINISTRATION SCORED.
Resolutions for the Protection of Citi-
Zens i'll Cuba Introduced i'll the
Missouri Legislature.

Representative Hobart, of Clinton
county, is an ardent friend of the
Cubans. Thursday he introduced a
strong resolution, which criticIses the
executive branch of the government in
words the meaning of which can NOT be
mistaken. When the resolution vas
read it was greeted with applause.
Mueller, OF St. Charles county, a
republican, ran half way down the
aisle to shout Il motion that all parts
of the resolution which reflected on the
cratic majority voted the motion down,
and The resolutions were carried with
cheers. The votes against the resolu-
lution all came from the republican
minority. Following are the resolu-
tons:
Whereas, The news of recent out
zens by the Spanish authorities, in a
creditable and authentic form, has
been received and,
Whereas, These outrages are in vio-
lation of the treaty rights of this gov
eminent with Spain, and are of a char
acter so atrocious as to merit the on
domination and obloquy of all the
people; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the house of represen-
tatives of the Thirty-Ninth General
Assembly of the state of Missouri, that
it is the sense of this house that the
course of the administration in Wash
ington, IN ignoring such outrages upon
the rights, liberties and lives of AnierI-
can citizens in Cnba and refusing to
extend to them adequate protection as
required by u consul general to Cuba,
is in violation of the principles, tradi-
lions, genius and spirit of this govern
ment; is Il cuwardly surrender of its
dignity, and is calculated to cause the
American people to bow their heads in
shame for the lack of courage, patriot
ism and honor shown by the president
of the United States, in his failure to
sustain our brave and patriotic consul
general to Cuba in his just demands
upon the Spanish authorities for pro-
lection 10 American citizens.
Resolved, That We demand that the
administration at Washington shall i'm
mediately take such action as may be
to enforce the just demand
of Consul General Lee upon the Span
ish government, to the end that the
liberty and lives of American citizens
in Cuba may be protected from further
and the name of this republic
may not become a by-word and a re-
proach among the nations of the earth.

The most interesting and important
event of the past week in the Missouri
legislatures was the debate upon the
University Endowment bill, which was
made in behalf of the measur by
Messrs. Bohart, Farris and Avery, and
in opposition by Messrs. Whitecotton
and Rubey. The vote vas finally
taken upon motion to recommit the
bill to the committee, made by its
friends, and was carried by seventy TO
sixty-one. This would indicate that
with a full house the bill can be passed,
1t is understood that it will be some
what amended. The nature of the
amendments have probably not exactly
been agreed upon, but they will most
likely include provisions doing away
with certain matriculation fees, limit
ing the time of the certificate to six
years, providing that it shall be for
two millions only, and leaving out all
considerations of consolidating the
the present certificates. These two
propositions alone would popularize
the measure with quite n number of
gentlemen who voted and spoke
against it the other day. The debate
has developed that there is great mis-
conception as to the purposes and
affect of the measure. As a matter of
fact, ALL that it amounts to is to re-
lieve the revenue fund, which is hard
pressed by reason of the reduction of
The levy from twenty to fifteen cents,
