Foreign Relations Committees Of Both
Houses Agree on Report.

Washington, April 12.-Tomorrow will
witness the introduction of resolutions in
Congress recommending that the President
deal with the Cuban question. That it
will witness the disposition of them in
either branch is uncertain.
This representsthe situation at midnight.
The resolution agreed to by majority
of the Republican members of the House
committee on foreign affairs this afternoon,
are said to open with a notable preamble,
arraigning Spain for her barbarities IN
Cuba and demanding atonement for the
destruction of the Maine. The resolutions
declare that Cuba should be free and inde-
pendent The President is authorized to
intervene at once and stop the war in Cuba,
to the end that the people. shall be secured
a free government of their own, and ne is
empowered to use the whole power of the
land and naval forces Of the United States
to carry out the resolutions.
The full committee could not agree and
an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock
tonight
No arrangement has yet been made for
regulating debate on the report, but the
impression is that there will be some talk
extending over day or more.
Tomorrow will be the all,important day
of the crisis. Today was spent in confer
ences behind closed doors in the House
and Senate foreign committees, the result
of which will be the reporting of a resolu-
ton in each house tomorrow comprising
legislation to be enacted on the Presidents
message. The resolutions will be at once
taken up and when vote is reached 1t
will be known just how and when hostlli-
ties against Spain are to commence.
The resolutions to be finally adopted
will probably be the Foraker resolutions,
with recognition of independence omitted,
making armed intervention immediate. 1t
is expected that the House and Senate
committees will get together before Con-
gress meets tomorrow and decide on
one resolution, which will be re-
ported to both houses. The Democrats on
the committee who had decided to intro
duce a resolution for the recognition Of in
dependence abandoned their plan late to-
night because of Gen. Lees advice. This
makes their position the same as the Re-
publicans.

A Great Success.
Tazewell, Va, 4, S, '9S.

The Epworth League entertainment
which was given at the town hall on last
Saturday night was a decided success from
every standpoint. 1t was attended by the
largest audience that has been seen in the
hall for long time, and the programme
was well executed throughout The young
ladies who participated in the cold Maids
Convention" wore very amusing costumes
and acted their parts well, while. Frank
Alexander who played the part of saman-
that was thing Of beauty and awfully
funny. Some Of the local hits gotten oil
by the old maids were laughable and
pleased the audience.
Miss Lola Wells opened the entertain
ment by reciting medley. 1t was made
up Of comic, pathetic and dramatic short
selections. and in its rendition Miss Wells
showed high order Of talent as an elocu'
zionist. The audience forced her to re-
spond to an encore. At another time she
gave a very beautiful pantomime of
"Nearer My God to Thee" )" the song be-
ing sung behind the scenes while Miss
Wells acted it in pantomime.
The entertainment was greatly strength
ened by the music, which was furnished
by the Bluefeld Orchestra. 1t is COM
posed of BIr. w. H. Campbell, as leader
Mrs. R. V. Campbell, pianist, and Messrs'
H. B. Hawes, Walter Pearson, j. M. Glib
berson, Chas. Kinzer, G. w. Patterson,
J. S. Follansbee, Jack Samuels and -
Royal. The orchestra is an excellent one
and the music it rendered Of high order.
The League is not only very grateful for
its assistance but the people of Tazewell
indebted for the beautiful music it supplied
The pantomime recitation by the squad
of little girls was pretty and well done.
Much credit is due Miss Mag Strother
Witten for the success Of the entertain
ment, as she was chief manager and in
structed those who took part in the "Old
Maids Convention" and drilled the little
girls.
From a financial standpoint the enter
tainment was success.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

If war comes we expect the X rays will
have to be used to locate some of the most
enthusiastic jingoes.
President Mckinley in bis message ably
maintains his position against recognizing
the existing insurgent government in Cuba.
He argues from precedent, policy, law and
morals. His arguments are unanswerable.
President Mckinley says the war in
Cuba must stop.
When a man pursues one who is fleeing
from him and forces him to fight the pur-
sued generally inficts great damage to the
pursuer. Spain may do the same thing
for the United States.
Congressman threatened that they would
declare war if the President did not act,
and now when he places the matter in
their hands they growl and criticise him.
We wonder if Coins financial school
will organize a company of volunteers for
the war?
Spain will have to back down or there
will be war. Will she have sense enough
to back.
A plague on those politicians who want
to use our trouble with Spain for political
purposes!
CASTELAR,, the noted Spanish republican,
says the United States cannot blockade
Spanish honor. 1t can't be found, suffi-
cient reason for not blockading.
If war comes it is not likely to be sixty
days picnic, as some epeople vainly imagine.
Mistaken notions of that kind have been
INDUCED in before.
Delay has enabled our government to
equip itself much better for war. 1t will
also give the jingoes more time to hunt
hiding places.
In a crisis like the present it is fear
full thing to occupy the position of Chief
Magistrate. 1t is we'll the country has
man in that position whois resolute, honor
able and patriotic.
The Virginia Democrats are now shouting
themselves hoarse over Fitz Lee. A short
time ago they were shouting for pretty
Tommy Martini, and when the Senator
ialrace comes on next year they will be
doing the same thing, unless Fitz should
choose to become silver "humbug"
The Republicans of Roanoke haze deter
mined to nominate no ticket in opposition
to the municipal ticket recently nominated
in that city by the democratic machine.

Spain Gets Vessels.

New York, April l2.-The steamships
Columbia and Normania of the Hamburg
American Line, have been sold TO the
Spanish Steamship Line, apparently for the
use Of the Spanish navy. They had been
offered 10 the United States, but the offer
was not taken up in time.
\ Hamburg cable reports the sale Of the
Saale and the Spree, Of the North German
Lloyd, to London brokers. 1t was not
known whether the United States or
American Line were to get them. The
manager of the American Line in this city
said that the vessels are not for them.

OUR MURDERED SAILORS.

Down in Havana harbor,
In Cuba-fairy land,
On 18th day of February,
Eighteen hundred and ninety-eight,
Our sailor boys lay
Down to sleep, on
Board our battle ship-the Maine.
The night was calm,
The stars shone bright,
Der land and sea.
Trusting in God, and
Our country's flag DER head;
With silent prayers for
Loved ones far away,
They went to sleep.
Oh God, to sleep!
To sleep for ever more
Two hundred and siXty-six-
Victims of Spanish treachery-
Down in Havana harbor.
Their bodies lie in
Spanish mud, with bu2zards
FLYING DER our dead.
The wall of mothers
Rend the skies, and
Tears of sweethearts flood the land,
Awake! Arise! My countrymen,
Men of the North, South, East
And West, clasp hands,
Turn loose the dogs
Of war and drive
Old treacherous Spain from
Cuba's land, and off the man.
Move TO the front,
Dear Uncle Sam, unfurl our flag!
Let cannon boom on land and sea!
Til Spain's torpedo fleets
No more and Cuba land is free.

FAIRLY GOOD BUSINESS SOUTH.
Iron Trade Reports a Large Volume of
Business But 1t is on Orders Previ-
ously BoOked-Wteat Shipping
Slightly Larger.

Bradstreet's report for last week said:
a sensible quieting of demand for staple
goods is perceptible in the various detailed
trade reports coming to hand this week.
At the East the drift of matters affecting
our foreign relations has been such as to
discourage new business, but this tendency
has been considerably accentuated by un-
timely cold weather, which has checked
the usual Easter demand to a considerable
extent. Reports from the West aye that
the heavy rush Of Spring business is about
over and that orders coming in now are of
filling-in character. Here again reports
of unreasonable weather are met with.

GOOD BUSINESS SOUTH.

A fairly good business is reported in the
South, but a slight check to our export
trade is reported, growing out of the rising
of freight and insurance rates consequent
on the disturbed foreign outlook.
Frost is reported to have done consider
able damage to the peach and other fruit
crops of the South and to early planted to-
bacco.
A fairly satisfactory trade is reported at
the Northwest. Lake navigation is now
open, and anticipations are that prosper
Gus years business will be done.
Rather less activity is noted in most Of
the country's great staples. Cotton goods
has moved fairly well, ginghams especially
being in excellent demand, and except for
low grade cottons-notably print cloths,
which have made new low-price record
of two cents per yard this week-the situa-
ton is as favorable as could be expected.
Wool is dull, rejecting uncertainty as to
future business and unsatisfactory margins
Of profit.
The iron trade continues to report a
large volume of business being done, but 1t
is becoming evident that this is chiefly
upon orders previously booked.
A feature of the trade at leading cities
this week is tie active business in bicycles
in Chicago and New York, where sales are
the largest on record.
