Representative Marsh of Illinois on
yesterday introduced q resolution de-
claring that state of war exists be-
tween Spain and Cuba, and between
Spain and America. In a few days he
will have to amend it by adding a clause
declaring that a state of war also exists
between the emancipated House of Rep
resentatives and its oppressor. The
cases are singularly parallel, both as to
fact and the almost hopclessness of Sc
curing action. 1t is a question Of how
much fuel there is behind this flame of
Congressional patriotism. Speaker Reed
thinks it will burn out within few days.
Perhaps he is right The next two or
three days will tell the tale Just now it
is a cold time for Tories and Hessians
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1898-03-30


The Frye resolution, written on State
Department stationery, is as follows
in the Island of Cuba for the past three
years has been conducted by the Spanish
government in violation of the rules Of
civilized warfare; said government has
driven the unarmed and peaceable inhab-
itants from their homes, and forced them
within the armed camps where il has
permitted hundreds of thousands of men.
women and children to die of starvation
and as a result of this system of inhu-
man warfare tens of thousands of the
helpless people are now dying for want
of food;
And whereas the war has para,vZad
and almost destroyed the large CONNER
cial relations which have hitherto existed
between the United States and Cuba and
has rendered useless and brought to ruin
the many million dollars of property of
American citizens invested in the island;
And whereas the existence and pro
longation of me hostilities have imposed
heavy financial expenditures and burden
some official Iahors upon the Government
neutrality laws;
And whereas. the consuls of the Unit
ed States and other impartial and 2onlpe-
tent observers have reported ihat the

THAT FAMOUS CLAMBAKE, -

The clambake of last Tuesday was
success in every respect. Many from
out OF town attended as well as our own
town folks. That most of those present
came with their appetites was proven by
the appearance of the ground. The
ladies In charge of their branch did as
they always have done and sustained
their reputation as providers for such an
event. Adjoining the grounds of the bake
was the ball ground which was occupied
by our home nine and one from Sandy
Hook under the captaincy of E. Minor,
who evidently came with the intention of
having walk over, but met with q up

thing in his territory. The players all
