only feature.
Both teams observed the anti-kicking

success, but it led to the most exciting In
cident of the day.
The lie was passed, as 1t was in the
house on Wednesday, and while no un
seemly disorder, such as disgraced the
house followed, the sensation it caused
was quite as profound. Jones proposed
that the senate adjourn until tomorrow at
10 o'clock and that tomorrow Messrs
White of California, Cafferey of Louisiana
and Wellington of Maryland, who are op.
posed to any action by congress, and
whose view of the question had not yet
been presented, be allowed four hours
other senators to be confined to fifteen
minutes each. with the exception of Plat
of Conencticut, who should be given ar
! hour. After some explanations, Senators
Caffery, White and wellington in turn
gave their consent. Money of Mississippi
thought the agreement ought to include
provisions for a vote.

has lifted his arm to strike" said he, "ant
afraid to strike the blow
II suggest" observed White. that those
sumed all the time"
This caused suppressed ripple of laugh
ter, after which Money yielded to the solic-
itations of those about him and said he
would not object.
All looked serene when Chandler of New
Hampshire, who is given to rather vitriolio
| jests on occasions, dropped a remark thai
caused an explosion such as the dignified
senate has not witnessed in many years.
II know the senator from Mississippi,
| he observed, with quizzical smile on his
| countenance, "does not wish to vote on this
| question until he has heard the senator
from Maryland (Wellington) in full"
| The strong emphasis was on the last two
words. Wellington jumped to his feet and
turning angrily upon Chandler. announced
sharply that he did not relish the pleas.

honor. Mr.. Spooner pronounced the for

cal and untenable. If the Cpoan people
were free and independent" as the reso-
luton declared, why were We to go there
Mr.. Spooner having spoken of the Cuban
| flag, said it was lowered at half mast al
the time Of the Maine disaster and had
been kept in that position since.
Mr., Spooner commented on a resolution
drawn by Mr.. Teller. Mr.. Teller said he
had not offered this resolution, as since the
presidents message has come in, seem
ing,y to be directed against the insurgents
as we'll as the Spaniards, he declared he
preferred the resolution of the minority.
| Mr.. Spooner said he was not willing tc
vote for the recognition of Independence
because independence was fact and not
a matter of sympathy. He regarded such
recognition as an executive and not legis-
lative act.
| During legal argument by Mr.. Spoone!
as to recognition, Mr.. Tillman asked
Where would We be If France had not
recognized us during the revolution"

strong against Spain as that of France
against England?

Spooner, but to relieve the suffering o.
the starving women and children in Cuba.
In conclusion, speaking of the destruc'

Teller Follows
Teller Of Colorado followed. He an
nounced at the outset that he would vote
for an amendment recognizing the inde
pendence of Cuba. 1t meant war and the
step should be taken with the full knowl
edge of that fact. He thought we were
fairly we'll prepared for hostilities. He
believed the Maine was blown up by Span
ish agencies. Before that occurrence HI
had not believed that war was necessary

ligerency of the Cuban insurgents oul

George Byron Gordon, the explorer.
contributes to the Century an account
of the recent discoveries In Copan. un.
der the title Of 1.-THE Mysterious City Of
Honduras" Concerning the ancient
race Of Mayas, Mr.. Gordon says: Not
only did traditions exist In the minds
Of the people, but many Of the old In.
dian families still preserved their
books, the remnants Of once extensive
libraries, In which the history. tradi.
lions and customs of the people Were
recorded. All these books that the
Spanish priests could lay their hands
upon they burned. Four only have
come down TO us-prlccless relies that
In some unknown manner found their
way into European libraries, where
they lay hidden until un"arthed by
scholars OF recent years. The books of
the Mayas consisted Of long strips Of
paper made from maguey fiber. ana
folded after the manner Of a screen 81
as to form pages about nine by five
inches; these We're covered with hero
glyphic characters, very neatly drawn
by hand, In brilliant cOlors. Boards
were fastened on the outside pages, ana
the completed book looked like u neat
volume of large octave size. The char
acters In which they are written are the
same as those found upon the stone
tablets aud monuments In the ruined
cities of Palcnque and Copan. This
system of writing, which Is entirely dis.
tinct from the picture.wrltlng of the
Aztecs, was the exclusive possession of
the Mayas. 1t was highly developed
system, as Investigations have shown,
embraced q number of phonetic elc.
ments. In this respect, as In many 9TH
ers, the Mayas We're far In advance of
any other American people. A vener.
able but vague and elusive legend that
has come down to us ascribes the In.
ycntion of these characters to ltzamna,
the Maya Cadmus, great hero god,
who, in the beginning of their history
as a nation, led the people from the
East across the sea, gave them laws,
and ruled over them for many years.
