Owens and Washington are connected by
marriage, and the pair have had disagree
ment over the settlement of family prop
erty. On the night In question Owens ana
his friend Ed Myers went to the church. 1t

conversing in a low tone with Myers,
Owens proceeded to apply an opprobrious
epithet to Washington as he came around
with the plate for collections, and followe d

the other partners that he wanted disso-
luton, they had fight, in which the plain
tiff received a black eye, and was thrown
out of the restaurant bodily, and they re-
fused to admit him into the place again.
He then brought suit against his pugna-
cious partner for dissolution of the part
nership, an accounting, and the appoint
ment of receiver. Antonio Perpich took
charge of the business by order of the
court The Antonovch agony Will be
finally settled today.

Mr.. THOMAS PROTESTS.
Boston's Postmaster in Westinghouse
Circular Explained.

, Washington, Jan, 19.-Postmaster
Thomas of Boston was at the post office
department today to protest against the
proposed reduction in mail deliveries in
the residential quarters Of Boston He
suggested that it might be well to les
sen the number of collections in some
portions Of the city. instead OF the de-
liveries.
The postal officials say that misap-
prehension probably exists among
large number of postmasters, as to the
read object of the circular sent out ear
lier in the week, asking them to report
what saving could be effected for the
remainder of the fiscal year, in the way
of dropping help where not absolutely
necessary. The intention Of the depart
ment is not that the number of deliv-
cries in those cities shall be reduced, as
is contemplated in some OF the larger
cities of the east, but that postmasters
should report what economies they
could make in the way Of dispensing
with few carriers, saving in street car
fare, mounted messengers, and other al
loWances in the carrier.

to the Cuban insurgents was argued in
the house, but as on yesterday. the
minority hurled itself against a stone
wall On the only vote taken today a
motion designed to overrule the decision
of the speaker and direct the committee
on foreign affairs to report without fur
ther delay the Cuban resolution passed
by the senate at the last session, the
republicans stood solid and voted to sus-
tain the chair.
The galleries were packed to the
doors, and there was considerable eX-
element throughout the early part Of
the session when the members Of the
minority were successfully pressing all
sorts of amendments bearing on the
Cuban quetion for the purpose of en-
barrassing the majority. During the
general debate, Chairman Hit of the
foreign affairs committee made an i'm
pressive speech at length on the situa-
ton which made action by congress in
advisable. He spoke with impassioned
words of the presidents sympathy with
the struggle for Cuban independence,
and the achievements of the present adj
ministration. The release of American
prisoners in Cuba, the recall of Weyler,
the Abandonment of the policy OF con-
centratiOn, and the autonomy scheme,
he attributed to the firm attitude of the
president. and contrasted these results
with the inaction of the last administra-
ton. He ayerred that belligerent rights
could not aid the insurgent cause. Per-
haps the most dramatic portion of his
speech came when he declared that the
insurgents only wished for belligerent
rights in the hope and belief that this
country would be embroiled in war
with Spain, which would give them
their freedom. without triumph. He as
serted that the president must assume
the responsibility Of any action which
might result in war, and appealed to
both sides of the chamber to patrioti-
cally support the executive if a crisis
should come.
Mr. Dinsmore of Arkansas the leading
democratic member of the committee on
foreign affairs, replied to him, and
Messrs. Adams rep, Pa.), chairman of
the Cuban subcommittee of the same
committee, Berry (dem-, Ky) and
Wheeler dem, Ky.) also addressed the
house during the debate, The debate will
close tomorrow at o'clock, when final
test will be made on motion, Of which
