HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Jan. 1.-TWO ful-
grown foxes were captured near this place
last week. and on Saturday they were set
AT liberty in a large field which was sur
rounded by men and boys and some few
women who had turned out to see the
"sport." The animals were released one at
n time. When the first one emerged from
the box IT seemed bewildered by the shout

off Int the sudden rush towards II of some
foxhounds brought from Richmond for the
occasion caused it to run off at full speed.
The field was covered with melting ice,
which was very smooth, and the water had
gathered into thousands of shallow pools.
Across the field of ice and water the fox
ran with incredible speed, closely pursued
bv the pack of yelping hounds. 1T seemed
Unconscious of any foe except the dogs in
the rear. and when il approached near the

Bryan VIII Expect Support of POpu-

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-W. j. Bryan, in con-
GLIDING a speech before the Bryan League
at the fremont House, during a banquet
held after the Auditorium meeting early
this morning made some remarks which are
interpreted showing his intentions if he
is nominated for the presidency in 1900. In
speaking of the next presidential election
MIR. Bryan said: 1T may be we will be
strong enough to win without any outside
help. But nevertheless prefer to win with
the Populists on one side and the free-silver
Republicans on the other. And we must not
forget when the victory is won that in the
campaign of last year it took more cour-
age on the part of the free-silver Republic
ans to desert their old party and more self
sacrifice on the part of the Populists to go
outside of their organization for presiden-
tial candidate, because he agreed with them
on the paramount issue than it did for the
Democrats to support the ticket which was
made by their own national conven-
ton" Mr. Bryan left for Minneapolis to-

after he had disposed of Maher in a finish
fight With this statement Stuart had to

DYING IN THE STREETS
wOEFUL PICTURE OF CONDITION OF
CUBAN RECoNCENTRADOs.
Congressman King Tells of the Pitifui
Scenes He Witnessed While
Visiting the Island.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 9.-After spending
several weeks making personal investiga-
ton of the situation in Cuba Congressman
King, of Utah, arrived here this evening.
His tour covered four provinces and was
thorough. Speaking of his trip, he said; Il
made it to learn just what conditions were
and 1 found that no one has ever half de-
picted the awful horrors of the reconcen-
trados. These people, naked and emaciated.
are still dying like sheep in the streets of
the towns where they are huddled To rea-
alize just what this means one must see for
himself. 1 found that the Spanish people
have evidently very little faith in the new
astronomical government, for they are
strongly in favor of annexation and want
it at once. General Blanco has not sue
ceeded in his efforts to alleviate the suffer-
ing. for he has not had financial means
to carry it out. / have interviewed insur-
gent leaders, Spanish officers and Ameri-
cans and have some definite idea of what
is going on on that terribly devastated ISL
and. | know positively that General Lee
is not going out with General BlancO to see

Lee yesterday he evidently speaks with au-
thority
Prof. Herman Schoenfeld of Columbia
University, came on the same boat. He

will continue a long time.

tive session Of the Senate for consideration
OF the treaty each day until the treaty shall
be finally disposed of. The first effort on
Monday viii be TO secure open doors for the
debate This motion will be made by Sena-
tor Pettigrew of the opposition, but there
IS no likelihood that ii win carry. The pre-
vailing opinion Is that the debate will not
be prolonged the treaty, but theories
as to the length of time vary all the way
from q week to a month. The opposition
10 the treaty assert that they have no dis
position to TTo,ong the discussion owing to
their confidence in their ability to defeat
tho treaty. They claim thirty-five votes in
opposition and state that among these there
will be more than one Republican Senator
Morrill, adheres to his original determine
ton to oppose the ratification resolution,
and he is preparing a speech on that side of
the question. The name Of Senator Money,
on the Democratic side. is added TO the
list OF SUI OrterS OF the treaty making nVe
Democrats who viii certainly favor annexa-
ton Senator Butler. POpuliSt, whose posi-
ton has not heretofore been generally
known. to-day announced himself IS OPP
posed to ratification. It may be accepted
as true that If the opponents of annexation
secure the one-third vote necessary TO tc-
complish that end they viii allow the vote
TO come without delay, reserving any dila-
tory TASTES 70 which they may be dis
posed to resort for use in connection with
the consideration of the joint resolution for
annexation. which would follow the defeat
OF the treaty This resolution would require
only a majority vote. and it is conceded on
all hands that the annexa tionists have the
necessary majority.
In open session the calendar presents
many subjects that may receive attention,
including especially the immigration bill
ard the census bill, the latter alIordng a
basis for speeches upon the civil service.
Senator Fairbanks has given notice OF a
speech on the immigration bill on Tuesday
and Senator Butler will speak on his reso-
tuition providing for the election of federal
judges by the people some day during the
week Discussion of the financial question is
also among the probabilities. Senator Davis
IS expected to open the Hawaiian debate
with a set speech on Monday but there
IS possibility that he will Gefer his main
argument until later in the discussion.
