A feature of the senate's session
was the speech of Mr.. Spooner OWis.),
on the right Of Henry w. Corbett to
q seat in the senate from Oregon un-
der appointment of the governor. Mr..
Spooner made a constitutional argyll
ment in favor Of seating Mr.. Corbett
and had not concluded when the senate
adjourned.
An effort was made to obtain con-
sideration Of the Alaskan homestead

Washington, Feb. %. - A long and
somewhat exciting debate over the
question Of river and harbor appro-
priations was precipitated in the
house during the consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill. It
was practically agreed by all those
who participated that there would be
no river and harbor bill at this ses-
sion of congress, and this led Mr..
Moody to attack the contract items
carried in the Sundry civil bill. He
selected an appropriation of $350,000
for Rockland, Me-, which is in MIR.
Dingley's district, and his remarks in
lenEnciation of what he termed favor
itism approached the sensational. Mr..
Dingley denied that he had ever sug-
gested the appropriation to the COM
nittae Gil appropriations or to any in.
dlylduai members Of the committee.

DON'T BLAME MIR. JENNINGS.
Not Responsible for the Crowd In
Front Of His Place.

The efforts made to make Mir Jcn-
nings, Of the Hotel Jennings, responsible
for the actions OF certain young hoodlunIs
who congrpgate in and about the foyer OF
that hostelry, are not founded upon
facts, and in many respects are utter y
unfounded.
Mr.. Jennings was interviewed and he
! stated in a positive manner that he in ne
way encouraged the parties to either
enter his house or to in any way Obstruct
the sidewalk or passageway leading to
his house. lie says they are detriment
to him and that he has repeatedly called
upon the police to rid his premises q.
them, but as soon as they were driven
off and the policeman had proceeded on
his beat they would again congregate
about the eni rance OF the hotel and pose
~ guests OF the house.
! Mr.. Jennings says he has in every way
discouraged the patronage of that class
of custom and has on various occasions
! compelled Il number OF these young men
to vacate his bilIiard-roonl and bar, and
has ON numerous occasions given instrnc-
tinns to his barkeeper to refuse the sale
of anything to those whom he had any
reason to suspect nf being under age.
He claims he has not been justly dealt
by IN this matter, as he wishes to in
every respect obey the law and to live
up to its provisions; but when Il crowd
Of young fellows congregatc in front of
his place he thinks it is the duty of the
police to drive them away, and thus pre-
vent the public from being annoyed by
them.
"Had the authority he said, 81
would not permit them to gather in
front Of my house, but as have not, |
an, compelled to trust to the actions Of
the police in keeping the side walks
clear from all distractions.
''rhese young men are not patrons of
my house and are in no way connected
with it. not even as patrons, and the
sooner they are prevented from gather.
ing in front of my house the better |
will be pleased. 1t all lays Will, the
police. and ii the man on this beat
drives they away and keeps them away,
| will be as well pleased as will those
who have been in any way annoyed by
them.
The pubic cannot hold me responsible
for what they do, and if anyone gets
their clothes soled while passing my
h use. tier rep RS she uld 90 to the
rolice station instead Of being laid at my
door"
Several Of the members Of the gang
which hangs around Hotel Jennings are
scions Of wealthy families, and owing to
this fact are somewhat insOlent ut times,
thinking that their connections are
sufficient to relieve them from response
bility for their actions, SO far as II e
consequences are concerned

bnt the news leak out accidentally last
nigh frem prominent member of the
.Junta of New York, who was in this
ctv.
This expedition is said to he the
largeet one that has left our shores dur
ing any war in the Island. Fully two
hundred men will make the attempt aud
If foiled in it will continue until Il Sue
cessful one is made.
II is stated by good authority that the
expe litipns have, and will continue to
leave the United States Is long as there
is war in Cuba.
Owing to the recent insult received by
Mr.. Mckinley from the minister Of Spain
the American citizens have become en-
ragged and are more anxious to see the
productive little Island free from such
monsters as the government which is
now endeavoring to suppress the So
called insurrection and are willing to
jeopardi" t heir own personal welfare in
promoting the cause Of freedom in the
down troddcn Island.
This is the twenty-tirst expedition Of
this character leaving this country for
the assistance of the people who are de-
sirous of liberty.
''1hc Cuban army is in good condi-
ton at present. They are better equip
Jed and disciplined than they have been
for two years
The above statement was made by Il
prominent Cuban who also states that
he thinks the Island will soon be recog.
nized as beligerent.
About twelve Pinkcrton Detectives ar
rived last night just before midnight,
and are watching the Cubans and Cuban
sylnpathizers movements closely and
will remain III town for several days.

SHERIFF FLlNN'S ABSENCE.
4 Writ Calling For u Special Eicc-
liOn Not Yet Served.

iiOn Not Vet Served.
The absence of Sheriff William X.
Finn from his place in tie Colll House,
during business hours today, has been
the source Of considerable comment
amongst the legal fraternity.
Aclng in his capacity was Deputy
Sheriff tiilis. He too was cnnsplcu"us
by his appearance in the county
court room, Deputy Sheriff Ratledgc "c'
cupying the seat.
Inc suspicion is that Sheriff Films :
inability to preside in his Official c;,pac-
ity was due to the action of Speaker
Harrington of the Senate at Dover yes
terday afternoon.
\ writ was then issued by the Speaker
directing Sheriff Finn 10 call an e,ccllon
for State Senator to fill the vacancy,
caused by the death OF Robert }. lianby.
The writ orders an election To he
held within ful.r II d not less than five
days from the time such Il writ Is
Issued.
Sheriff Finn was supposed to obtain
the writ from Ex-Secrelary of State j.
Harvey Whiteman, who visited Dover
ON business yesterday.
He telegraphed sheriff Finn To that
effect and on his arrival met no Sheriff.
Subsequent search failed to reveal his
whereabouts and the ex-Secrctary still
las the document in his possession.
He has apprsed the speaker OF his
inability to ind the Sheriff and what ac-
tiun VIII be taken in the matter iclni.ins
to be seen.
1t has since been asserted that Mr..
Whitcman saw the Sheriff but had made
no service.
