SENATE FORECAST.
Little Attention will he Given 20 Any.
thing Except the Cuban Queation.

thing Except the Cuban Qushtion.
Z WASHINGTON, April IA major
ity Of the senate will give very little
attention TO any other subject until the
Cuban question is finally disposed of in
congress. That body having acted upon
the resolutions OF independence and In
tervention, the. question is not now
properly before it, but there is such in
tense Interest that senators will con-
tinue TO give it their individual atten-
ton until an adjustment with the house
is secured.
The supporters of the senate form of
expression are very hopeful that public
sentiment will compel the house to ac-
cert the, senate declaration. but they
Know that the influential conservative
clement is against them, and they real
lie that they may be disappointed in
the action OF the house. In that event
they arc prepared to stand out against
a surrender on the part of the senate.
How long this determination will hold
remains to he developed. hut the advo-
Gates of the recognition OF Cuban indie
pcndencc refuse to be convinced that
any other course than its recognition is
tenablc. They decline to even discuss
terms OF any compromise short OF the
senatc'5 action on this point. Whether
they would hold TO this IL they should
find the house equally determined, is
not certain In view Of the pressure for
action. Still many OF tho most radical
rro-CubaEs say that insufficient action
is no better than no action at all.
On the other hand there is IN ele-
mcnt in the senate OF respectable pro-
portions which favors the house resolu-E
tons over those Of the senate and whose
influence will. be- constantly exertcd In
the senate against that body's own
declaration The outspokep5 senator's
who hold this view are, the twenty-one
who voted against the resolutions as
amended, and there are probably q
dozen more who voted for the declara-
lion rs whole who are not at heart
favorable TO It and who would not DO
greatly disappointed at finding an OPP
pcrtupity TO modify the senatc's posi-
ton. Thus 1t is that while the senti-
ment In the senate Is not yet sufficiently
crystalHzed to justify positive predic-'
ton, there is enough difference Of opln-
ion to present an interesting situation
'if the house should fail to endorse the
senates action.
Aside. OF the Cuban question, the SEN
ate probably, will devote Itself largely
during the week 10 the appropriation
bills. The sundry civil has been only
partially considered and the naval bill
Is OH the calendar awaiting action.
There are many disputed points in both
bills.

Rev. c. u. Au,tin was Tho Speaker Al, Yes.
tsr,iay'. Meeting.
At the mems meeting t tho Y. NJ. C. A.
yesterday afternoon there was a good
attendance Of the members and visitors.
Rev. c. B. Austin, pastor OF Vance
Memorial church, made n brief talk,
which was much enjoyed.
Rev. Mr.. Austin chose his text from
tho first Epistle of st. John, in which
the apostle addressed young men. The
apostle was interested In young men,
for tho reason that he saw In them
promise. In this age, said Mr.. Austin,
there Is a need for the proper kind OF
young men: on them were great re-
sponsibilitles. There needs to be n de-
velopinent OF stockily built Christian
ity Gladstone Is a man who found time
amid all his duties to become an earnest
Christian. and q Woodworking student
OF Gods word. Young men should Inn
itate Gladstone's example. S
A young man eventually finds that he
must stand by himself, that Is, become
Independent. and associated with his
knowledge OF his latent strength Is a
feeling that he is held, by certain re-
has written OF liberty. His idea OF lib
erty was OF two kinds; freedom OF OPP
.pressions within, and freedom OF OPP
press!ons from without But liberty is
more that deliverance from evils with
in. and is more prominent and neccs-
sary than freedom OF outside restraints.
Hence ayoung man needs to be strong;
and there Is n demand now for the
staunchest kind OF Christian integrity.
The demand Of these times Is for rcl-i
sion which shall have force. Young
men love that which Is strong, and de-
spise that which Is weak. Speaking OF
manhood. Rev. Mr.. Austin said every
man knew what 1t meant. though sew
eral definitions were given.
In closing. Mr., Austin asked young
men to take courage. There was no
reason to be discouraged. God is a pa
tent creature. tits natural for a young
man to doubt some OF the passages Of
the Bible, but in maturer years he will
see things in a different Hight, and uB-,
derstand more fully, Gods many graces.

youths met it with a skill that did them
credit. The question was:
If the burrO was loaded with the
gold at this point, or if he was brought
hither where did he and the thieves
leave the inclosure2"
Neither OF the boys had ever felt
enough interest in the animal to make
an inspection of his pasturage ground,
and, therefore, knew nothing about it,
but scrUptinizing the boundaries they
fixed upon two gaps or openings on the
farther side, both leading deeper into
the mountains, one of which they be-
heved had been used.
Let's try the nearest said Roswell,
leading the way across the compare
lively level space.
There the ground was higher, fairly
dry and gravelly. A close scrutiny
failed TO reveal any signs OF disturb
ance. and forced them 10 conclude that
some other outlet had been taken. They
made haste TO the second.
This was dried and more gravelly than
the other. While the soil Seemed to
have been disturbed, they could not
make sure whether or not it was by
the boots Of an animal but Frank
caught sight Of something on project
ing point Of a rock, just in front. Step
ping forward he plucked it off and held
it up in the light. II consisted of a
dozen dark, coarse hairs.

could scarcely be called a part of Bots
lie Due at all, Marie had become so ac-
ctstomed to playing the mistress for a
whole day at time that she did not in
the least mind the loneliness.
Today she had set the house in order,
had swept the floor and had piled be-
side the large brick oven a heap of
1aggots against the morrow's baking.
All her tasks completed, Marie took
possession OF a low chair and began
sedately to amuse herself with a large
rag doll, her one playmate and insep-
arabic companion.
Now, it happened that on this very
morning Captain Charles the franc
tireur, having gone out on reconnoit-
tering expedition, had been cut off from
his men by half a dozen Prussian cav
alrymen, and had to run for his life.
The Duret cottage was the only one

The dread of something like this otter
checked the boys and seriously retard-
ed their progress.
We may as well understand one
thing, said Frank as they halted
again. You have heard JEFF tell about
getting the drop on man, RosweIl?''
Yes; everybody knows what that
MEANS
well, neither Mr. Hardman. nor his
| friend, nor both of them, will ever get
the drop on u.s."
The flashing eyes and determined ex-
preston left no doubt of the lads ear
nestness.
rs that because you carry Win
chester and they have only revol-
verso"
1T would make no difference if both
of them had rifles
1 Roswell was thoughtful
1t is very WELL Frank, to be brave,
but there's nothing gained by butting
your head against a stone wall. Sup
pose, now, that in passing the next
bend in this path you should see Hard
man waiting for you with his gun all
aimed, and that he should call out TO
you to surrender, what would you
do?r
Let fly at him as quickly as I could
raise my gun to a level
And he would shoot you before you
could do that
III take the chances was the rash
reply.
Il hope you will not have to take any
chances like that
They were talking. as usual, in low
tones, and no one more than a few feet
away could hear the murmer of their
voices, but while Roswell was uttering
his WORDS, and before he could COM
plete his sentence, the two heard a
sound, so faint that neither could guess
its nature.
As nearly as they were able to judge,
it was as if some person in walking
had struck his foot against an obstruc-
ton. 1t came from IA point in front,
and apparently just beyond the first
bend in the trail, over which they were
making their way.
We are nearer to them than we sus-
pected," whispered Roswell.
And they don't know it, or they
wouldn't have betrayed themselves in
that manner
ed"
Roswell, after the last change in their
course, was at the front Frank now
quietly moved beyond him, Winchester
in hand, and ready for whatever might
come. Confident that they were close
upon the men they sought, he was glad
OF the misstep that had warned them
VI the ldCl
There certainly was no excuse now
for Hardman and his companion Sc
curing the advantage over the boys,
when one of them held his Winchester
half raised to his shoulder and ready TO
fire.
Within a couple of PAGES of the turn
in the trail Frank Mansley ceased his
cautious advance. If the men were ap-
preaching, it would be a greater sur
prise for them to stumble upon the
motionless forms in the trail than to
have the youths come upon them in
the path.
The two We're standing like statues,
when both were almost lifted off their
feet by a sound that burst from the
stiffness, startling enough TO brighten
the strongest man.
1t was the braying of the burro, not so
feet distant

of the donkey and the two men were as
distinct as Z made in putty There
could be no question that the boys were
on the trail of the despoilers.
AS they advanced, Frank, who was in
advance, frequently turned his head
and spoke in guarded tones over his
shoulder 70 his cousin.
They are pushing into the noun
tains,' said he, but there's no saying
how Ear they are ahead of us.
No; if they made the start early in
the morning it would give them big
advantage"
L believe that is What they did.
knowing there was no danger OF our
returning until night"
THAT knowledge may have made
them slow. Anyhow, they are not trav-
cling as fast as we and we must over
take them before long"
few minutes later Frank asked:
do you believe they have thought
of being follower"
They must know there is danger of
it. They will fight to keep that gold,
and e they get the first sight OF US,
will shoot"
They may have revolvers, but I
don't believe either has a rifle. We will
keep = lookout that we don't run into
the advantage"
This dread handicapped the boys to
some extent. The trail was not dis
tinctly marked, often winding and pre-
cipitous and compelling them to halt
and examine the ground and consult as
to their course.
While thus engaged, they awoke to
the fact that they had gone astray and
were not following the trail at all.
