Washington, April 15.-The senate
throes of discussion of the Hispano-
American crisis. While the senate
talks, the people of the country-of
the civilized world-awaits it's verdict.
The first speaker was Mr.. Cullom
Qll.). Then followed Messrs. Barry
(Ark.), Daniel (Va.), Tillman IS. c.,
Wollcott (Col) and Spooner (Wis.).
Mr.. Spooner defended the cause of the
administration. A fight over ad-
journment for the day occurred and it
was finally accomplished. Mr.. Tiller
(Col) announced that he would vote
for an amendment recognizing the
independence of Cuba 1t meant war
and the step should be taken with
full knowledge of that fact. During
the debate Mr.. Wilmington rep, Md,
among other things said: Il have sat
her and listened to the senator from
Mississippi Money when re returned
as one of the agents Of newspaper
in New York; at which Mr.. Money
excitedly characterized as a lie the
statement that he was such an agent.
The two men threatened to come to
blows, but Wellington finally apollo
gi2ed.
Washington, April 15.-There was
only a single incident at the session
of the house that was worthy of
public notice. Mr.. Bailey, the demo-
cratic leader, arose to question Of
privilege to reply to Philadelphia
newspapers criticism, charging him
with responsibility for the disorderly
scene in the house Wednesday.
Washington, April 1S.-After one of
the hardest fought battles between the
two houses known in many years,
congress, at an early hour this morn
ing, came to an agreement upon the
most momentous question it has dealt
with in third of century. The
will be sent to the president this
morning. Their provisions mean the
expulsion of Spain from the island of
Cuba by the armed forces Of the Uni
ted States. The conferees had great
difficulty in agreeing. The first con-
ference showed a determination on
the part of the house not to yield N
single point and it was only after long
consultations with the house leaders
that they agreed to allow the little
words ARE and" in the first section Of
the senate resolutions which declares
the people of Cuba are and of right
ought to be free and Independent"
The resolutions as finally adopted are
those reported from the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations with the
addition OF the fourth section. known
as the Teller amendment. disclaiming
any intention on the part OF the Uni
ted States to acquire Cuba.

affairs committee. A short and
crimonious discussion ensued, Mr..
Bailey (dem., Tex speaking for the
minority, which had also presented
resolutions for the independence of
Cuba. Some republicans also in
sisted on chance to speak The
minority resolutions were rejected
100 to lat. The majority resolutions
were then adopted, 1872 to 10. The
negative vote follows: Demo-
crats-Adamson (Ga), Bankhead

Loud (Cal), Populists-Simpson
Washington, April 14.-For more
than six hours the senate had the
resolution proposed by the committee
on foreign relations under considera-
closed no irreconcilable differences
among those who spoke. All are in
favor of action in some form by the
government Of the United States. The
most radical difference was whether
the resolutions should recognize the
independence of the Cuban republic
or simply declare for armed interven-
ton with a view to the ultimate
freedom and independence of the Gu
ban people. After endeavoring to
agree to time for a vote upon the
resolutions, the senate finally amid
much confusion agreed by vote of
80 to % to adjourn until morning.
Washington April 14.-The session
Of the house was dull and absolutely
devoid of interest, the galleries and
floor being almost deserted. During
the afternoon several bills of minor
Importance were passed. The most
important measure passed was the
Curtis bill, for the relief of the resi-
dents of Indian Territory. 1t provides
for the settlement of questions in
volving 100000 acres of land be-
longing to the Cherokees, Chickasaws,
Creeks, Chocktaws and Seminoles,
now occupied by 100000 whites and
1000 Indians. 1t provides for the
ejectment of several thousand in
truders upon "27,000 acres of land.

address will be delivered by gentle
man we'll posted on the subjects of
fruit and vegetable growing. 1t is
hoped that all farmers interested in
progressive agriculture will attend.
Other points along the great 1. c. are
making success by giving attention
to this important and growing indus

industrious as they, with equal if not
superior natural advantages, should
not do likewise. Let everybody who
can put in a quarter OF half acre in

FAIR RIVER ITEMS.
BY CARROLL.


Mrs. DR.. Robertson is at home and is
rapidly regaining her strength.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will KEGS spent the
holidays with relatives in Crystal
Springs.
The Christmas-tree was a grand treat
to the little ones and the house was
filed to standing room.
Mrs. VIM. Rutledge, of Mt. Carmel,
spent night with her sister, Mrs. DR..
Walter Weathersby, last week.
We are glad to say Messrs. Floyd
Williams and W. G. Summers were
visitors to Fair River last week.
After vacating during the holidays,
Prof. Mullen resumed his school last
Monday with large attendance.
Mr.. w. Y. Guess placed the COM
munity under obligations to him by
presenting the school with large bell.
Elder w. H. Bailey killed a 10
months old porker that weighed 1888
pounds. 1t was half Poland China.
DIR. E. Cowart is gradually growing
worse, and it is evident that his exit
from this stage of action is near at
hand.
Mr.. John Cowart carried Mrs. Cow
art to Browns Well the first part of
the week, where we trust her health
may be restored.
Mr.. John Guess is moving into our
midst. Mr.. P. G. Mullen will move
this week. Mr.. John Cowart has his
house in the course Of erection. All
these we welcome, and invite others to
come.
Our farmers have entered upon the
duties Of a new year with as much
zeal and vigor as though cotton was
worth 10 cents pound. Right. But,
Bro. Farmer, do you know that to be-
come a prosperous and independent
people we must decrease the acreage
in cotton and raise plenty of every
thing needful to the su stenance Of our
families and stock, instead of raising
cotton to buy it with? Let cotton be
your surplus crop. Wake up, and
eliminate from your minds the erro-
neous idea of trying to cultivate Is or
20 acres of land to the hand. The time
is past for that, and remember that
what has been done by man can be
done again. Believe me, when l tell
you that we have farmer in the per-
son Of G. w. Ivy, who raises from 80
to 30 bushels of corn to the acre on
up land, and from l to ~ bales of
cotton to the acre. Try it. You eau
do the same or even better. He is
going to do better this year he says,
and believe it, too.
