Una declaration hecha por Mr.. Hit, pre-.
sidente de la Comisi6n de Asuntos Exteriores
d rante ell curse del debate en- la Camara, ha
llamado mucho la atenci6n. Dijo Mr.. Hit:
sNo estoy autorizado para hacer revelaclones;
pero tengo entendido que ell Presidente esta
hacienda todas las gestiones posibles para To-
grar la independence de Cuba, y estoy conven-
cido de que su deseo ha llegado va conoci-
n.ento de los estadistas espanoles, puesto que
G. cable nos anuncia hoy que ell ministro que
probablemente estara en- ell poder antes de trein-
ia dfas, ha manifestado que no hay esperanzas
de sofocar la nsurrecci6n de Cuba.
Algunos corresp sponsales de Ia capital atrl.
buyen al Presidente Mac Kinley ell prop6sito
de ofrecer Espaia los buenos o6cios de este
gobierno para negociar la cesi6n de la isla de
{ ,ba 4 los insurrectos mediante ell pago de
$500, 900, 900, que garantizarfan los Estados
Unidos. El senador cue ha dado esta noticia
corresponsal, ha agregado: sesta suma no
es excesva, 81 sc consdera que, en- ell case de
tener una guerra con Espaha, ell primer ca1o
nazo costarfa q los Estados Unidos mas de
cuatrocientos millones.>
No hay duda que alguna tentativa en- ese
sentido ha debido hacer ell goberno de Washing
ton cerca del de Madrid, plesto que de allf te-
lepraffan que ell ssfor Canovas ha manifestado
que Espafa nj vendera la isla de Cuba, nj per-
mitira que otra naclon sc mezcle en- sus asuntos
nteriores.
En- cuanto al reconocimiento de beligeran-
cia, la proposition Morgan que acaba de votar
el Senado pasara ahora la Camara popular,
donde Sc espera confadamente que ell ''speaker"
presidente Mr.. Reed, lograra impedir Sc
tome en- consideration, 8 bien hara que pase
la Comisi6n de Asuntos Exterores para que
su presidente, Mr., Hit, lie de oarpetazo. Pero
adn en- ell case improbable de one la Camara la
confrmase, es casi SECURE que 10 recibirfa la
sanction del Presidente es muy dudoso que
el Congreso Sc atreviese despues q aprobarla
por encima del veto del Ejecutivo."

He was president of the association when
the notes we're given. They were turned
over to the Farmers National Bank as
collateral. When it was thought necessary
to secure these notes, printed circular
was sent to each stakeholder, which set
forth the needs of the Association and
which pledged payment out of the first re-
ceipts of the next Fair.

the Society had given notes every year,
and that they had always been paid be

When the note again matured Mr.. Risdcn
paid it in full Mr.. Wells, the defendant,
had also given one of these notes, but had
only paid SIS on it, refusing to pay the sos.
By reason of this refusal Mr. Risdon fig
ured his loss to be about 81 Sc, there being
SO other eholders.
On cross-examination Mr.. Risdon said
he was secretary of the association in 1896
and received his salary prior to any pay
ment being made on the notes. de was
a stakeholder in 1895, and was then on a
Joint note, which was paid before the sal
aries were.
This ended the plaintiffs case and the
defence claimed that the terms of the cir
cular by which the notes were secured
had not been carried out. This was an
individual contract with those who gave
notes.
The only witness for the defense was
Henry I. Budd, who testified that prior to
1896 salaries were not paid until notes
were cancelled.
Justice Slack rendered decision in ia
vor of the plaintiff. Charles Evan Mer-
rift represented Mr.. Risdon David o.

Sunday school should be given to the
boys and girls. The most successful
Junior superintendent is one who is fertile
in resources. The child's mind demands
variety; therefore, the Junior meetings
must accomplish this demand. This may
be done in the educational work by means
OF objects, picture charts, black board, ETC.
Temperance and missionary work also
furnish field for introducing useful les
sons, which are much needed in a time
when SO many insidious evils are tempt
ing the boys and girls.
The practical side of Junior work is to
make Christians of the boys and girls; to
teach them to stand up for Jesus and to
work for Him.
Alfred 7. Ways address was on "Great-
er Conservation" and was based on the
three questions: "Good Master, what
shall do to inherit eternal life 2" "What
must | do to be saved ~ and "What wilt
Thou haye me to do2" He said the Lord
has plan for every life and there is
specific work for each to do. There
should be willingness to do any kind of
work, not disposition to choose that
which seems most pleasant. Above all,
there should be whole hearted service.
At the close of the meeting refresh
ments were served and the Christian En-
beavers of Burlington county enjoyed a
period of sociability.
