If it be urged that thousands Of
working men support their fam

that the fact ''has nothing TO do
with the case" Preachers cannot
adopt the habits OF the working
man. They must incur many en-
penses that are not in the account
of wage earners engaged in man
ual labor, Those for VIII o m
preachers work are presumed
to believe that such work is of
vital imp r'ance. They expect
good sermons and faithful per-
formance of pastoral duties. And
yet they do not pay for half of
whaf they expect. If the era of
prosperity does not bring an in
crease in the compensation ofthose
ministers it will miss one of the
fields in which it will be greatly
needed. Washington Post.

THE ExTRADITIov TREATIES.
Mr.. oincy's Extraordinary Demand.
Arbitration Treaty.

WASHINGTON, January l3.-The SEN
ate devoted two hours this afternoon to
the consideration in executive session Of
the request OF Secretary Olney for an
amendment TO the extradition treaties
with the Orange Free State and the Ar
gentine Republic. ratified Monday. by the
insertion of "A clause requiring each gov
ernmen, 10 give up its own citizens on
oXtradition demand by the other govern
mcnt a party 10 the treaty. This IAN
puage appears In none OF our treaties.
and WIS so out OF the usual order OF
things that II precipitated long debate
participated I'm by Senators Morgan, Sher-
man, Chandler. Hoar, and others. Ihese
senators took the position that each gov
eminent was the Judge Of its own rights
in such cases.
Senator Davis also spoke at some length
I'm opposition TO the request Of the Sec
rotary. It was shown that this country
had never given up its own citizens, ana
the Senate held that the language asked
for was unnecessary.
At the conclusion OF the debate no for
nal action was taken, but il was evident
that the Senate would decline 10 make
the amendment asked for. and the treaties
will stand as ratified Monday last
A resolution was adopted removing the
Injunction Of secrecy from the general
treaty OF arbitration between this country
and Great Britain.
The nomination OF David r. Francis, or
Missouri, 10 be Secretary of the Interior,
was called up in executive session, ana
after a short speech by Mr.. Vest the case
went over without action.

Frederick Pryor. OF the steam
schooner Harodlne. was before Commits
soner Rogers yesterday. upon tho charge
OF assaulting Thomas Curry. engineer
OF the vessel. but, as Curry did not ap-
pear was released for hearing lateA
Pryor is Virginian. a naval Union
war veteran, and a very intelligent man.
He was lately in Habana, for about
month. where he had opportunity Tor
seeing considerable of what was going
on. as he was on shore almost every
night. across the bay from Moro Castle.
He says the sympathies OF most or tina
people are with the insurgents. but they
are afraid OF talking openly. He saw
large number OF Spanish soldiers, and
very few OF them over eighteen years OK
age, while the majority are younger.
These soldiers. he says. being unaccn-
mated, are taken with fever and die on
RAPIDLY. The hospitals are In sugar.
and moIasses-warehouses, and tho
nurses. some few Chinamen, are quite
often insurgent prisoners. who act as
nurses. and, at the same time, drag
after them a ball and chain. Pryor
also saw numerous wounded soldiers
brought In on fat-bottom cars who were
dumped of with very little attention as
to how they might be crippled. Hs saw
no stretchers used but sometimes the
wounded were placed on boards for trans
| portation from the cars or wharf TO the
| hospitals The wounded soldiers would
| ha rolled over and over until on tho
hoard. and then. when the hospital would
be reached, would be simply dumped
] OFF, on the floor. The burial or dead
soldiers was not any more humane, ths
bodies being placed under ground az
small depth. and in passing through tho
| burial-grounds Il was no unusual sight
TO see parts OF bodies exposed. Numbers
would be buried at one time, and In the
ambulances bodies would be piled one
| on ton of another. The soldiers, ne
said. as well as other people. got littio
/ TO eat and very seldom got any pay.
| The business OF the city Is ruined. ana
vessels going TO Habana with cargoes
| have to go elsewhere for return cargo.
| Pryor spoke OF a friend i'm Haoana. n
stevedore. formerly worth about SlS,Vv.
who told him he had been ruined by tho
| taxes imposed on his property, ana TO-
/ day he IS worth nothing
Still. Pryor says. there is considerable
eayety and amusement I'm Eabana, but
! he thought II Of rather n forced nature.
Crowds OF country people are In town,
and. for the most part, are simply beg
gars.
pryor was born and raised I'm Chester
field. Va. but drifted North before tho
war He went into the Union navy. ana
served during the war. while three bro
theirs were i'm the Confederate army.
AS to his trouble with the engineer or
the vessel. he claims the latter abused
him. and he simply threw him out OF
the galley up against the ships rail. He
has followed the sea for about forty
years.

which cast doubts on the quality OF all

II is believed that the methods OF WORK

at fault as the plates themselves, and the
Constructor hopes to devise some method
by which sufficient good material out OF
the hundreds Of tons on hands may be
selected and the work continued, while
the steel contractors are given an oppor-
tunity to make good the deficiency.
The Steel Board will consider Construc-

WASHINGTON, d. c., January ID
The agricultural appropriation bill was
presented TO the House to-day by Mr.
Wadsworth, chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture. 1t carries an appropria-
ton Of S3,152,752, an increase Of AO2,OSo
over the amount appropriated for the
current fiscal year. The only material
increase is under the head Of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, and is intended to
allow the extension of meat inspection
The committee discussed the matter OF
compulsory meat inspection, but decided
10 make it the subject of an independent
bin. and not to place 1t in the approprla-
ton bill.
For the purchase and distribution o.
valuable seeds, an appropriation OF Sl2O-
900 is made. and the Secretary is directed
10 expend the appropriation.
Secretary Morton made no estimate Tor
this expenditure and. as i'm former Bills
IT was inserted without his sanction.
