WASHINGTON. April 25.-After a de-
bate OF an hour and a half in secret
session the senate passed the bill de-
clariug A state OF war exists between
the United states and Spain. The
bin is in the same language as that
passed by the house, The debate was
based ON an amendment offered by
Turpie providing for recognition OF
the beligerent rights OF the Cubaus.
Mr.. Turpie coutended that as long as
the insurgents rights of the Cuoans
were uurecognized they could only be
regarded subjects of Spain, and
hence urged that our position in de-
clarug for recognition OF the freedom
and independence of the Cuban pto-
pie was entirely inconsistent with our
refusal 10 recognize their helligereat
rights The amendment was defeat

A GOLD MINING STORY.
Why One Claim Was Left for Years
Unworked

At Ballarat a ruined gold miner
once committed suicide in a dramatic
manner. During the time of the
gold rush certain deserted claim was
for years held sacred, and the tools
left strewn about the windlass were
left TO rust away untouched. A party
of varsity men, old school fellows
and of gentle birth. had sunk their
shaft there and worked without sue
cess until all their money was spent.
One evening one of them at work
at the bottom of the shaft, shouted;
Haul up, boys, the time is come at
last!" They hauled up, and when 1t
came to the top they found their
comrades lifeless body hanging from
the chain. He had detached the
bucket, tied a moose about his neck,
fastened the nose to the chain, and
was hanged by his dearest friends.
The party had been much liked,
and respected by the other miners,
who would readily have subscribed
1000 ounces of gold dust to give
them a fresh start, but ere the dawn
of the next day the whole party had
disappeared. leaving their claim in
the same state as it lay at the time OF
the tragedy.-Weekly Telegraph.

amended was then passed. The bill

OF the fiendish operations in that
hideous realm. As a matter OF fact
she has herself long been running a

Washington, d. c., April H.-The
general debate upon the measure
formed by the ways and means com
mittee TO meet the extraordinary ex=
penditures of the war with Spain
opened in the house to-day. 1t Will
continue through tomorrow till Fri
day at o'clock when the vote Will
be taken. There was a signal alb
sence of that partisan rancor which
has always heretofore characterized
debates on revenue measures. Both
sides, speaking through their respec-
tive leaders, Messrs. Dingley and
Bailey, concurred in the necessity
which existed for Immediately rails
ing hundreds of millions to prose-
cute the war, but the opposing doc
trines which they held FLASHED at the

the revenue should be raised The
