We have often said that our

feelings have become sadly deep
er-now mingled with our pray
ers are our tears. Behold the
woes of pain; the suffering; the
agony; starvation and death that
comes waited on the winds from
poor Cuba's sunny shores. The
heart must be made of stone that
can hear of that islands woes and
not weep. Heretofore warfare
among civilized nations has gone
to the battlefield for conquest;
for power and supremacy-all
things are changed in the war of
this monstrous nation. 1t is true

their character as ruling power

as civilization had softened the
rules of battle and rendered war
a contest between contending
armies instead of cold blooded
murder and worse, we had sup
posed that Spain had forgotten
her beastly, blood thirsty nature
of former years, and had caught
at least spark of mercy in her
make up, and that her warfare
would lose little of its former
savagery, and would, in some
Slight degree at least, conform
to the higher civilization of the
world. No, she retains all the
vicious and has got much less

she had the spirit of advance

enterprise was prevalent in all

was cruel-without mercy and
hopelessly unjust, there remain

mankind and heaven for pardon.
She has none of these virtues
now; and she stands accursed be-

The Supreme Court of the
United States has declared the
eight hour law, passed by the
Utah Legislature in 1897, consti-
tutional. The chief object the
law was for the better protection
of underground workers in mines
and men employed in smelling
and reduction works, and pro-
vides that employees shall
work eight hours day, except
in cases of emergency, where
life or property is imminent dan
ger" 1t also declares that any
person violating the provisions
of the act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor. A test case was
made against A. f. Holden who
had violated the law by entering
into an agreement with a few
miners to work ten hours. Mr..
Holden was found guilty by
justice of the peace and fined
$50 and costs. The case was
carried through the State courts
and sustained. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States with the re-
suit above stated. The ground
for appeal was that the law tend
ed to deprive a citizen of life,
liberty or property without due
process of law, and beyond the
exercise of the States police
powers. This decision is of
great Importance to the laboring
classes and will undoubtedly be
used as text for future legisla-
ton. 1t establishes the fact too
that States have the right to en-
act laws calculated to protect the
lives, health and morals of lis
citizens by limiting the hours of

Of terrible tragedy this morning, at the

Quaker. At 9 o'clock Miss Fay Tucker,
aged eighteen, the only child, went upstairs
to sweep. The only other occupant of the
house at the time was her mother. who has
for some time been taking treatment Tor a
mental disorder. At the top of the stairs
the girl was met by her mother who thrust
her into a closet, saturated her clothing
with oil, set fire to her, then locked her in,
leaving her to perish alone
Mrs. Tucker then went to another room
and enveloped herself in oil-saturated bed
clothing and ignited the mass The girl in
her frenzy managed to burst open the closet
door and release herself. Running down
stairs to the pump, she succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames, that by that time had
burned off the greater part Of her clothing.
Though fatally burned the girl ran to the
rescue of the maniac mother. Ne1ghbors,
attracted by the screams and smoke gath
cred to assist in the work. Going to the
room of Mrs. Tucker, it was found that the
flames had already done their fatal work.
The woman was dead, the body being
burned to crisp. The house was on fire
in two places, but was saved by the neigh
bors
DR.. Newlin was called to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the daughter, but her injuries are
so severe, he says she cannot recover.
There is no doubt of the insanity of Mrs.
Tucker, who had been treated for mental
aff1iction for a long time. She was about
forty years old. They had not been in the
habit of leaving her alone, and the husband
had been out only a few minutes when she

House Committee on Naval Affairs
AdOntH 1t UnanfmOusIY.

Adopts 1t Unanimously.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Tne army re-
organization bill was adopted unanimously
to-day by the House committee on military
affairs. and it was subsequently reported to
the House. The bill was agreed on yester-
day, but in view of the significance of the
measure it was deemed best that the COM
mittee should also pass on the report which
had been ordered prepared to insure the cor
rect representation Of the committee
views. In passing upon the measure the
committee has disposed or a very signifi-
cant point as to the Presidents functions
in war time There was a long discussion
over proposition to insert in the bill an
express provision which would permit the
President to increase the army forces inn
mediately in case of sudden grave emer-
gency. 1t was pointed out that no Presi-
dent ever would take advantage of such
provision, and that President Lincoln had
set the example and his action has been
Justlned subsequently. 1t was felt by some
that where the necessity for hasty action
was great subsequent approval of Congress
would be sufficient, and the President
should be given some warrant for such
step, with a requirement to secure the ap-
proVaI or Congress at the earliest moment
practicable. The discussion was not on
party lines, but the Republican members of
the Qlnereu among themselves as
to the wisdom of eniarging the Presidents
functions in this respect or to have them
remain in statu quo. 1t was, however, COM
cluded that it would be best 10 allow the
conditions to remain unchanged, and the
committee inserted a provision modifying
Section to make previous congressional
action more binding, allowing the esta blish-
ment of the third battalion war formation
only upon the declaration of war by Con-
gress or a. declaration that war exists.
The committee, in it's report, cites official
reports as showing the increase of the COM
missfoned force of the line of the army
needed to charge it from peace to a war
footing, and puts the enlisted strength at
l04,3A mon, an increase of 1854 men, an
equivalent TO siXty-sX regiments of voun-
teers of LEO men each. 10 properly officer
these regiments would require 66 colonies,
66 lieutenant colonels, 1873 majors, 1872 cay
ta!ns, e24 first lieutenants and 1872 second
1eutenants, the pay aggregating ST. $50.
To officer the same number of troops I'M
der the provisions of this bill in time of war
would cost as follows: One hundred and
twenty second lieutenants cavalry, "a first
lieutenants artillery, "a second lieutenants
artillery, 80 captains infantry 80 first lieu-
tenants infantry and $50 second lieutenants
Of infantry, their pay aggregating $l07S,69O.
ThiS, the committee concludes, effects a
saving in organization of So 200 per year.

Arthur Joshua is the name of a picka-
ninny who spent last night at the station
house. The boy is only eight years old, but
wore a coat made for a full-grown man. He
tried to get a woman on Noble street to
keep him all night, and she informed the
police. When questioned by Sergeant Crane
he told an astonishing tale. He came here
from New York, he said, where he lost his
mother, and at the invitation of a gray
haired white man got On bhe train and came
to Indianapolis.

said, so done calls EN- my father an my

New York.
Then why don't you call the gray-headed
man your stepfather?''
=" Case my fob suah fathers dade."
He had done forgot the names of all
his family, but after scratching his woolly
pate industriously he dug out the informa-
tion that his fob suah'' mothers name
was Lizzie. Everything else he done
forgot as soon as he saw the sergeant was
trying TO corner him. He wouldn't walk
up Washington street with policeman to
point out the place where he lived because
MS coat didn't fit" 1t made him look like
Comanche Indian" he said Sergeant
Crane muttered something about a ''colos-
sal liar and put the boy away for the
night,
