continued. A paper on Dutch pottery
by Mrs. W. II. Hill was read by Miss
Taylor. "The credit of making the
first stoneware has besn given to Ger
many, whence it probably passed down
the Rhine to Holland and from there to
England. In the sixteenth century
Holland was celebrated for it's glazed
bowes of stoneware called" GIaybeards'
or "Boniiaces, and for it's tankards.
Tine beautiful and unfortunate Jacque-

and then in the exceHH of their admira-

The Queen has Postponed her Trip to

LONDON, March 9.-The wish that
Queen Victoria shall not end her reign
in peace is again manifest by the pres
ent threatening situation. The queen
yesterday postponed Ter trip to Rivera,
so important did she regard her pres
euce in London. To many, war be-
tween England and Russia appears
more threatening than between the
United States aud Spain. In fact, not
withstanding the statement made by
Hicks-Beack and Balfour for the
Salisbury cabinet, that Great Britain
would maintain free reports in China,
even at the cost of war, Russia has
continued her aggressions.

Is the Time it Took the Sen
ate to Pass the
NATIONAL DEFENSE BILL.
The Galleries Were Crowded tn Overflow
Ing by People Who Expected to Hear
Some Very Patriotic Speeches In the
Senate This Morning on the Above
Measure, But They Were Disappointed.

WASHINGTON, March 9:-Long be
fore the senate met today the gallerie.
were packed to ove-fowing. The
routine business having been conclud
ed at 12:15 o'clock, Mr.. Hale reported
the $50, 900. 600 natior al defense bill ar {
asked that it be Immediately put up fol
passage. There was absolute quite in
the chamber while the clerk read the
bill and when he bad finished, contrary
to the general expectation, vice.Pres.
ident Hobart said, ,-"shall the bill
pass?"
That indicated that an agreement
had been reached and that no speech
es would be made. The vast au dienre
murmured it's disapproval. The roll
call proceeded rapidly. Senatorial
pairs we're disregarded and absent
senators seat word that they would all
vote affirmatively.
By 1908 p. m. the work was done aud
votes cast for the bill and not q vote in
the negative.
Immediately after the passage of
this bill Chandler ordered resolu-
tion authorizing the naval sffsirs com
mittee to send for persoos aud papers
to help in it's investigation OF the blow
ing up of the battls ship Maine, which
was agreed to. Then at 1890 O'Clock
the senate went into executive session,
and the galleries were promptly emp
tied of occupants who had expected q
field day in oratory and were sadly
disappointed. Comment is freely made
at the capitol that it required exactly
thirteen minutes to pass the war fund
bill, and that was the number of ori-
ginsl states of the Union, Seventy six
senators voted for the bill-the number
of absentees being thirteen. 4s
The seBHte remained in executive
session till l:30 m , and then ad-
journed till tomorrow.
The president signed the national
defense bill at $40 p. m.
The session of the house was devoid
of unusual interest today. Upon the
announcement that the senate had
passed the war emergency bill, there
was applause lloyd and long.

Finally, the Senator shows by indis-
putable testimony, from high sources,
that the offer of autonomy came too
late. To him "the strongest appeal is
not the barbarity practised by Weyler,
nor the loss of the Maine, If our worst
fears should prove true, terrible as are
both of these incidents, but the specta-
Gle of million and half of people,
the entire native population of Cuba,
struggling for freedom and deliverance
from the worst misgovernment of
which ever had knowledge"
No one needs to be told what is Sena-
tor Proctor's private judgment as to
what should be the remedy the United
States government should apply to the
state of things he describes. What the
Senator does not say is more signifi
cant than what he has said.

The Testimony Of Senator Proctor.

The greatest artist in words and the
most eloquent orator who ever spoke in
the Senate could have added nothing to
the potency of Mr.. Proctor's report of
his observations in Cuba. 1t was the
calm statement of man of Unconditional
temperament and cautious habits of
mind. There are few Senators or Rep
resentatives who could have told such
a story with such moderation of ex-
preston and such exactness of phrase,
For that reason, among others, Mr..
Proctor's speech is destined to inHu-
ence in an uncommon degree public
opinion not only in this country, but
wherever in the world the story OF
atrocious inhumanity excites thrill VI
horror. 1t is an indictment of Weyler
and of Spain before the high court of
civilization.-TN. Y. Sun.
