Past Weeks Proceedings.

Washington, May 20.-Another stir ring debate on Cuba has occurred in the senate. It was of the give and take order, with sharp parliamentary fenc- ing. The main speeches of the day were made by Senators Foraker of Ohio, Can non of Utah, Lindsay of Kentucky and .Toar of Massachusetts.
 It was the occasion of the first speech of any length made by MT. Foraker since he entered the senate, and in ad- dition to this the Ohio senator is one of the Cuban subcommittee of the com mittee on foreign relations. He spoke in favor of a reference of the resolu- ton to the committee, but on the gen. eral question declared his purpose of supporting the resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency when 1t should be reported by the committee.
 It was developed in the course of . coloquy between Senators Foraker, Morgan and Vest that the state depart ment had withheld the names of United States consuls reporting on the serious condition of affairs in Cuba because 1t might lead to their massacre. MT. Vest declared that this presented the most serious phase of the subject, as 1t was time to protect our officials with war ships if their personal safety was threatened for making reports to their government.
 Washington, May 22.-The long and exciting debate on the joint resolution recognizing the existence of a state of war in Cuba and declaring that strict neutrality shall be maintained by the United States has passed the senate by the decisive vote of Al to IA. The announcement of the vote was received with tumultuous applause, which drew from Senator Hawley an emphatic pro- test against mob demonstration"
 The house adopted without division the resolution appropriating s5O,000 for the relief of distressed American citi- zens in Cuba.

Bitter Feeling In Athens.

Athens, May 26.-The torrent of re- crimination and bitter invective which was checked by the fear of the imme- diate Turkish advance to Athens has broken out afresh, now that this danger has been removed by the armistice. The authors of the war policy, equally with those who are held responsible for the disasters. are being dragged before the bar of public opinion. So far as the official culprits are concerned, 1t Is be- lieved that the government will appoint a commission of inquiry to punish the guilty. A thorough investigation into the ambulance and commissariat de- partments will probably entail scandal ous disclosures
 A dispatch from Lamia says that 300 Ghegs intruded upon the neutral zone, but were driven back by the Greek gendarmerie. The Crown Prince Con- stantine has strongly protested against this as violation of the armistlce.
 The Ethnike hetairia is bitterly de- nounced. and the government is urged to seize It's funds, to oonfiscate its stores and arms and to compel 1t to render an account. The government Is not likely to accede to this suggestion, because many persons prominent In po- litical life are closely connected with the organization, and the hetairia, con- scious of its strength, has decided to remain silent and to preserve its mys- terious and invisible character. Fossil bly, smitten with compunction, howev- CT, the society has donated SO, 900 drachmas for the relief of the Thessa- Han refugees.
 The Embros publishes a sensation in telegram from Lamia declaring that the British men-of-war at Volo pre- vented the landing of guns and ammu- hilton from a Russian man-of-war for the use of the Turks. The story is probably untrue. but 1t indicates the prevailing distrust of Russia.

Duke of Tstuan After Heated Dobat,
 Assaults a Liberal Senator.


 Assaults a Liberal Senator.
 Madrid, May 22.-In the Spanish sen- ate there was a heated and tumultuous debate on the resolution of Senator Morgan passed by the United States senate, and the debate here was fol- lowed by an excited discussion in the Hobbies. This led to a dispute between the Duke of Tetuan, the minister for foreign affairs, and Senor Comas, Liberal senator, which ended in the duke boxing the senator's ears.
 The son of Comas threw himself upon the duke and struck him a heavy blow with his fist. Several senators inter fered, and a general scuffie ensued with great confusion, and 1t was some time before order was restored.
 The Duke of Tetuan rendered his resignation immediately after the in- cident.
 Senator Comas is a professor in the University of Madrid and is held in high esteem in scholastic and political circles.
 The Duke of Tetuan and Senator Comas soon after the assault selected seconds as preliminary step to duel After much dehberation the seconds de- cided that as the aggressions were re- ciprocal a duel was not necessary under the code duello.

 Prince Francis Joseph to Rule Crete.
 London, May 26.-The aspect of east ern affairs is less peaceful. Turkey Is sending 1000 more troops to Thessaly, and it Is said that the sultan has prom ised his ministers not to relax his hold upon that province.
 The note of the powers certainly does not yield on a single point and states even that the peace conference must be held at Constantinople and not at Phar- sala, but the sincerity of both Germany and Russia Is doubted, and any sign of dissension among the powers makes for obstinscy on the part of the sultan.
 It is reported from Vienna that the Emperor Nicholas has advised King George for his own safety to appSirt a military governor with exceptional pow CTS and to concentrate 5000 picked troops at Athens.

4 AIissionary From China Scores th

Missionary From China Scores the
 Standard oil Magnate.
 Pittsburg, May 25.-There was a gen. uine sensation at the Baptist conven- ton now in session here. The Rev. w. H. Cossum, missionary from China, was called upon to tell of the work in his foreign field. As he mounted the platform the delegates settled them selves comfortably for a two hour ad dress on foreign missions. What they got was a rather sensational address on John D. Rockefeller. It was rhetor- ical. bombshell.
 T know that what I am about to say will not please all of you" said MT. Cossum, and may displease many of you. But am bold to say what be- lieve to be right. I must say what Is burning within me. It is this: What our denomination needs is not rich men, but holy men. A New York millionaire has offered us a great gift. I say that great gift should not be accepted unless John D. Rockefeller first makes con fession to the American people. We must accept no money that does not come from clean hands. Let MT. Rocke- feller purify himself and bring in this gift as a righteous, God fearing man, and then we can accept 1t.
 T know I am not saying what pr. Duncan wanted me to say, but I am not pr. Duncan's man. He knows it, too, but he is not here just now so that can tell him so. Fam aware that what I have said is not the sentiment of the body but am bold enough to say what I think should be said regardless of what the world may think
 As the speech closed with these words little ripple of applause started, but quickly subsided. It was evident that the delegates were taken by surprise.
 The Rev. pr. Joseph Kennard of Chi cago made a spirited defense of MT. Rockefeller. asserting that the great millionaire is a devout Christian and not a mere worshiper of wealth. He scored MT. Cossum for his attack on Mir Rockefeller and hinted that the young missionary would learn modera- tion with increased experience in the work.
 The Rev. Dr. H. Moorhouse, on be- half of the Home Mission society, ex- pressed its disapprovai, censured Mir. Cossum and spoke of MT. Rockefeller as the noble benefactor of the Baptist denomination.
 The Rev. Mir. Grant of China, a friend of MT. Cossum, defended his colleague, anu luS ocpdlc pCScAiC ucoico- "A iiiO- | tion to adjourn was made and quickly passed.
