The Cubans have won a decided
victory in the decision handed down
from the United States court in re-
gard to the violation of the neutrality
laws by the Three Friends. The de-
cision was that as there was no re
cognized body in Cuba making war
against Spain that no law. had been
violated. If this decision is sustained
it will throw a new light ON things
1t will enable the insurgents to pro-
cure arms and ammunition from this
country much easier than ever be-
fore, and as it is just these things
that they are. in need of, and this be-
ing the only place that they can get
them, it is easily seen that this deci-
sion will be of great help to them.
Many who are friendly to Cuba and
would be glad to see them gain their
Independence, oppose any action on
the part of this government ,toWrads
recognizing them because they be-
lieve that it would be a hindrance to
them instead of help, besides posi-
bly, embroiling us in trouble with
Spain. Much of the work that is now
going on would probably be stopped
if we were to recognize their indie
pendence, and as they are still more
than holding their own they have
nothing to fear. Gen. Maceo's shrewd
calculations and masterful handling
of troops seem to be much missed vet
Gomez is apparently making it very
warm in the vicinity of Havana for
Gen. Weyler, and as the home govern
ment is continually talking of recall
ing him he cannot be in the very best
of spirits.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 14-John T. Dickey,
who is Willard S|aulsbury's champion on
the floor of the house, won a victory yes
terday in the first move In the contest
brought by Woodward w. Cheairs for Mr..
Dlckey's seat. In consequence Of the reso-
luton sprung on Tuesday by Mr.. Dickey
to have all the ballot boxes in New Castle
county opened and tho votes counted be-
fore any expenses should be incurred by
the contest four big wagons hauled the
boxes from the railroad station to the
levy court, where tho elections committee
was to consider thu contest yesterday.
They were in tho custody of Sheriff Will
lam r. Linn, who denied the authority OF
the committee to issue a subpoena, claim
Ing that such power was only vested in
the house itself. Lawyer Ponder, for Mr..
Dickey, warned the sheriff that the law
would hold him responsible If he surren-
dered the keys or boxes to the committee.
The sheriff was firm, and Chairman Ha-
zell then adjourned the committee. The
matter will come before the house at to-
morroW's session.

THE schuylkill Traction Company, under
the management of Mr.. E. W. Ash, makes
the very gratifying showing of a surplus of
SIS, sO1 %, after paying all expenses for the
year 1896, and Mr.. Ash is deserving of the
commentator expressed at the stockholders
meeting. When he assumed charge of the
road some three years ago it was in a general
condition of topsy-turvy, as it had previously
been run upon the go-as-you-please plan .
Mr.. Ash's railroad experience, however, soon
brought order out of chaos, and with the
limited means at his command set to work
TO make a road, which was built to sell, fit
for public use. While he has not been able
to carry out all his ideas, the service has been
improved in many ways, and it is to be
hoped the directors will spend the years
surplus for the betterment Of its equipment
for the further accommodation of a public
which has responded so literally to the eff
forts thus far made for its comfort and con-
venience.

HOPKINS MILLIONS AGAIN.
Another sultA Against searles for a shar,
of the Estate.

Another suit Against searles for a Share
of the Estate.
New YORK, Jan. 14.-Edward p. Searles,
who married Mrs. Hopkins, widow Of the
railroad magnate, is defendant in three
suits of $685. 900 each in the supreme court,
growing out of the will, by which origi-
nally Searles was to become the sole pos
SCISSOR of the Hopkins millions, having
been adopted by Hopkins.
The plaintiffs in the case are G. Nathan
lei Hubbard, a postoffice employe; George
j.. Hubbard, and Mrs. Amelia Hubbard
Wheeler, their sister, who lives in Con-
necticut. They were among the scores of
next of kin of the late Mrs. Hopkins
Searles, who contested her will on the
ground Of undue influence. Their at
torney said that they were promised S25,-
600 each by General Hubbard for with
drawing their objections to the will. He
continued:
1--WE believed that General Hubbard had
a general power of attorney, which would
bind Mr.. Searles. Ofcourse we will have to
get at the will TO be able TO prove this. As
n matter of fact, it developed at the trial
that the firm of Butler, Stillman & Hub
bard had made a contract to manage the
Hopkins earles millions for 10 per cent.
of the profits and 10 per cent. of the mill
ions. That meant 81, SOO,O 900 at a clip, be-
sides 10 per cent. of the profits. OF course
Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins-Se arles were to
have the other 80 per cent. 1 think that
81, 100000 is the biggest fee on record"
Seurles was a decorator when he met
Mrs. Hopkins. He was decorating her
residence in Massachusetts, at the time.
She was considerably older han he, and
their marriage was q sensational one.

THE movement of our esteemed friends
the missionaries to send a ]shipload of corn to
Bombay to be distributed among the famine
sufferers of India is to be commended. 1t
will cost $4,000 to transport this corn to
Bombay, which does not take into account
the expense of collecting and distributing
the same but this is a triAe which should
not be considered. There is plenty Of corn
in this country. Editors out west are accept
ing it from their subscribers who have no
money. In the West also those who have no
money to buy coal are burning their corn for
fuel. We do not hear that Her Majesty
Queen Of Great Britain and Ireland and
Empress Of India has yet been moved with
melting charity for her starving pariahs, but
our good example may not be lost on her, In
the mean time let our charitable organiza-
tions abate none Of their vigilance in seeking
out and succoring as many of our own
hungry people as possible.

A Discussion on OieOmargarine in the
Lower Body.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-After very dull
day, devoted to passing bills of minor inn
p%ortanoe, the house plunged into a warm
controversy over a bill to make oleo-
margarine and other limitations Of dairy
products subject to the laws of the states
into which they are transported. The
author of the bill, Mr. Grant, Of Vermont,
led the fight for it, and it WAS opposed by
the Democrats and several Republicans
on the ground that it would give the
states power to prohibit the use of such
products. The house got into a par
liamentary struggle over the measure on
account of the determination Of Mr.. Can
non, Of Illinois, to secure more time for
its consideration, and adjourned leaving
ii unfinished One Of the senate bills
passed was to withdraw from the supreme
court criminal cases other than capital
and leave jurisdiction over them to the
court of appeals.
The open session of the senate yesterday
was much curtailed by an executive ses-
sion lasting two hours. After this the
balance Of the day was given to Mr.. Ba-
con, of Georgia, in a speech upholding the
power of congress to recognize new gov
ernments. The senator insisted that the
arrogant assertion of one man power
threatened to make the presidential power
greater than that exerted by any monarch.
An agreement was reached for a vote on
the free homestead bill at 4 o'clock this
afternoon.

OUR Pottsville contemporary the Daily Re
publican, announces that "the war is on, -
and in the same article states that the
Martin-Magee combine will enter the contest
for the Republican nomination for Governor
next year with Hon. John Wanamaker as
their candidate. From this it is inferred
these people have abandoned their previously
announced intentions Of presenting Mr..
Wanamaker's name to the next state con
vention as a candidate for State Treasurer.
The Combine dies hard, but if we mistake
not the temper of the Republican voters OF
the state they will surely meet their political
death in the approaching contest. The con-
test in the mex state convention will over
shadow even the spirited fight that marked
the Senatorial conflict.

time the nomination Of David r. Francis
to be secretary Of the interior, but no &C
ton was taken. Senator Vest, of Mis-

confirmation, but he was also seconded
by Senator Pugh, of Alabama. Both of
these senators made speeches against the
confirmation m alleged various reasons
against it, among others the conduct of
Secretary Francis during the campaign.
Senator White, of California, and other
silver senators stated that they would vote
for confirmation, and that it was a fore
gone conclusion that the secretary will be
confirmed.

that an examination Of the accounts

demands the custody Of the child. She
also alleges drunkenness. Mr.. Wilbur de.
MES the allegations, and says no will prove

differences which have arisen between
them were due not to any cruel treat
ment on his part, but to her own uncon-
