CONGRESS AGREED TO WAIT.
An Attempt to Force Action For . Free
Cuba Defeated.

WASHINGTON, D. G. (Speciap.-A Cuban
storm broke in the House Wednesday and
passed over without affecting the situation.
Representative Bailey, the leader OF the
minority, attempted to secure immediate
action on q resolution acknowledging the
independence OF Cuba. He was ruled out
of order by Speaker Reed, and an appeal
from that decision was lost by vote OF l79
to 1S9. Mr.. Bailey's resolution was as fol-
lows:
"Resolved, By the Senate and House Of
Representatives, That the heroic struggle
of the Cuban people against force OF arms
and the horrors OF famine has shown them
worthy to be free; and,
Second, The United States hereby recog-
nizes the republic Of Cuba as free and in
dependent State"
The reading Of the document was listened
to with profound attention, and the min
ute 1t closed the gallery and the House
burst forth with cheers and applause.
Mr.. Bailey, In speaking against the point
OF order raised, claimed immediate action
on the resolution, on the ground that II
was a question Of the highest privilege.
After various speeches the Chair an
nounced his decision, quoting many prece.
dents. The Speaker said the question OF
war and independence did Eot constitute
question of privilege, and would not, ne
thought, at t>any time, except In times OF
great excitement.
On this decision an appeal was taken,
and on motion to lay the appeal on the
the table q yea and nay vote was called;
with the result OF majority OF forty In
favor Of sustaining the Speaker.

An Announcement From the Presi-
dent of Clemson College.
WRITE FOR INFORMATION.
Court of Instruction is to Be Arranged
So as to Present Theoretical and
Practical Agriculture.

The following has been issued by the
president of Clemson College,:
Farmers institutes will be held in
as many counties as practicable from
the present time until next September,
Last year twenty three institutes were
held in South Carolina. AS rule the
meetings held last year werelargely at
tended and thoroughly appreciated.
The object OF the farmers institutes is
to diffuse knowledge of the most scien.
tifc and practical methods of agricul-
ture. The court of instruction shall be
arranged so As to present to those in
attendance the results of the most re.
cent investigations in theoretical and
practical agriculture, and so far as
possible to make the subjects discussed
at each institute meet the special
needs of the locality where it is held.
In other States where institutes have
been held regularly for many years the
most gratifying results are evident.
They have fostered friendly relations
among the planters themse Ives; they
have aroused desire for more liberal
education of the boys and girls ss
means to higher success and happiness
on the farm; they have awakened pro-
fessional pride in the science of farm
ing; they have opened up new avenues
of opportunity; they have given the
farmer clearer recognition OF his du-
ties and privileges. South Carolina
cannot afford to neglect her farmers.
institutes. The scope and character OF
the work should be broadened year at
ter year. 49,.
In order to work towards this desira-
