HALF DOZEN OBJECTED
To the Consideration of the Cameron
Cuban Resolution.

Washington. Feb. 6.-The session or
the Senate to-day accomplished little save
the passage of bills to which no objection
was made In the first part OF the day,
Mr.. Thurston, of Nebraska, continued his
speech on the Pacific Railroads. AT :
o'clock the Nicaragua Canal bill came up,
but gave way to the calendar There
was some discussion of the Cuban reso-
lutions reported by the committee ON
Foreign Relations when reached, but
they went over without action.
At 3 o'clock p. M, eulogies were deliv-
cred on the late Representatives Cogs-
well. of Massachusetts.
Under the calendar a number of bills
were passed, among which were the fol-
lowing:
For relief of the Mobile Marine Dock
Company: for the establishment of a Sol
diers' Home at Hot Springs; S. D.; to
place Rear Admiral McCann on the re-
tired list; amending the law in regard to
collisions at sea; resolution of inquiry
relative to the capture of the Competitor
by a Spanish man of war; relating to st.
Johns river, Florida; for a public build
ing at Joplin, Mo-; for the relief of James
Z. Talfree, and pay clerk Blake, of the
United States Navy, for loss on account
of fire at Yokohama.
The Cameron resolution, recognizing
the independence of Cuba was reached
in the regular order, but it had no sooner
been announced than a half dozen
voices were raised in objection. Mr..
Morgan indicated at first determination
to insist and it looked as if the Senate
would plunge abruptly into the Cuban
question. Mr.. Morgan insisted that he
had consented to the displacement of the
Nicaragua bill only in order that the cal
endar might be taken up, saying that he
had an eye on the place the Cuban reso-
luton occupied thereon.
Mr.. Aldrich said his motion was to pro-
ceed to the consideration only of unob-
jected business, but Mr.. Morgn insisted
that while the Rhode Island Senator
might have meant that, he had not said
so.
After further controversy, Mr.. Morgan
consented that the resolution should go
over, giving notice, however, that when
the Senate next came in contact with the
resolution, he should insist upon consid-
Grafton.

To the Editor: In the last Mercury,
appeared a statement, with comment,
relative to Mr.. Brown, of Jones. Our
informant says ne was merely jesting
Representative Whitener says that the
statement made in our presence, in his
opinion, was without foundation, as he

A SURPRISE.

Since Rev. Mr.. Tall pastor Of the
thompson avenue NJ. T.. church, ar
rived IN the city, there has been a ser
les OF surprises in store for his congre-
CATION each Sabbath. First, new
stained glass window; then followed
other windows, one after another, for
several weeks. Then chairs, lamps,
pulpit and other things; from whence
they came no one seemed to know; it
would seem as if he waved his wand
and by some magic spell they came at
his will.
Well, his people came to the ronclu
sion that that state of affairs had gone
tar enough without retaliation. The
ladies put their heads together and the
result was deep laid plan, and when
placed before the congregation it took
like wild fire and the thing was did
1t was planned that Mrs. Booth was
to entertain the pastor and family at
tea on Wednesday evening OF this week,
and during the absence Of the pastor
from his home the ladies invaded the
parsonage, drew down TIE blinds, and
as soon as darkness cast her shadows
over all. men, women and children
could be seen vending their way to-
ward the parsonage with packages Of
various sizes and kinds, and when all
things were in readiness a modest
young mar was dispatched for the pas
tor to marry a couple. TO this he read
lily and most heartily assentcd and
could hardly be detained long enough
for the family to get into their wraps.
On his way he no doubt thought of the
favorable location OF Superior to Duluth
where a license is reeled, which works
50 favorably for Superior pastors, when
no such embarrassment is required
here.
Soon the parsonage, shrouded in
darkness. was reached, the KEY placed
III the lock and the door opened, and
10 and behold, the house was filed to
overtiowIng. The bride, little Miss Fav
Pickering and the bridegroom, Master
Edgar Black, stood awaiting his arrival.

lowed. Bet surprises were not over for
the good pastor and family, for alter

very fine silver tea set was presented.
This was a scOrcher on the preacher
and In reply he managed to say Amen,
Amen, and his wife echoed the same.
Refreshments We're served and at

up, but we imagine that surprises were
still in store, for pounds Of this and that

their appreciation Of the labors of THIS
