Penrose Talks with Warmth.
Haywood IS in Montana and Mckee
in New York. United States Senator
Penrose, who was with his colleague
yesterday afternoon, spoke freely after
the latter's departure for Atlantic City.
Il presume Senator Quay viii Est make
any statement at this junctuFe," said
he. regarding this last dastardly at
tack Of his maleVolent enemies. though
he doubtless will, in the proper time.
There is however, 40 reason why /, as
his colleague and personal friend. should
be silent. Attempted assassination of
character has been almost the sole
weapon of attack employed by Senator
Quays opponents for several years. and
the methods pursued have been aug
mented in yiciousHess and Vindictive-
ness as their futility has been denen-
strated.
Says 1t Was Cut and Dried.
LAS the last despairing effort of un-
scrupulous conspirators comes this
brutal move of the opposition, which
they have had upon their programme
for weeks with the desperate hope that
il might, in some way, aid in the eiec-
ton of a Democratic Legislature.
In due time there will be a complete ex-
position of the true inwardness of this
latest act in the drama of character as
sassination now so conspicuous a feat
ure in PennsylYania politics.

AN EFFECTIVE BLOCKADE.
senior Osma Puts some Ousstiens 10 the
Government.


London, June 12.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times, telegraphtng
Saturday, says: In the chamber OF
deputies to-day Senior Osma, a highly
respected deputy, questioned the gov
eminent, among other matters, as to
whether a blockade can legitimately be
made effective by ~obstructing a port
with sunken ships, mines or torpedoes;
whether 1t is allowable for a belligerent
in this fashion to obstruct a port which
is not formally blockaded; whether an
effective blockade nee interrupted
must be formally re-proclaimed. and
whether it is legitimate for a bellieer-
ent to employ as allies semi-civiltxed
natives living under the Jurisdiction OF
an opponent. especially when there is
reason to apprehend that the latter will
commit all manner of excess now hap
PLY unknown in civilized warfare.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, the foreign
minister. in the course Of a very guarded
reply, expressed the opinion that an inter-
rupted blockade must be proclaimed. He
said the question as to whether the block
ade from Cardenas to Bahia Honda was
formally proclaimed had been submitted
to the powers, but they had not re-
piled.
America, he said was operating against
Santiago apparently on the assumption
that a blockade of that port had never
been formally proclaimed. Duke Almo-
dovar said he would not conceal his opin-
ion that the b~lockading Of the entrance
to Santiago harbor was untustifabl
adding that the use of mines for such a
purpose had been condemned by such en-
inent authorities or internationa law as
Sir Richard Webster. the British attorney
general and Des %Jardines. the French ju-
rist.
With reference to exciting and aiding
barbarians," the foreign minister was
careful to avoid accusations against the
Washington government, but he gave the
chamber clearly to understand that in his
opinion a nation protesting humanitarian
sentiments would certainly, by instigat-
ing rebellion among a population capable
of pillaging, devastating and torturing,
incur a tremendous moral responsibility
in the eyes of the civilized world"

Attention Than Any other subject.

Annexation Attracting More
Attention Than Any other subject.
Washington, June 1.-THE first days
of the week i'm the senate will be de-
voted to miscellaneous matters on the
c%alandar, and the last days of it to the
Hawaiian question. IL present plans are
pursued. The Hawaiian question is at
tracing more attention than any other
matter now before the congress-. and
upon its disposition largely depends
the date of final adjournment of the
session. Senator Frye is determined to
get the house resolution up in the sen
ate as soon as II passes the house.. and
asserts his ability to hold the senate in
session for a reasonable time or until
thu matter can be disposed of. 1t is
conceded on all hands that there is a
majority in the senate favorable to
annexation, but some of those who are
friendly to this cause admit the diff
Guilty of maintaining a quorum of its
friends and expect the opponents of an
nexation to refuse to assist them in
maintaining a working senate.
Among other measures which there
will be an effort to nave considered
during the week are the bill for the in
corporation of the international Ameri-
can bank. Senator Pettigrew's bill regu-
lating the accounts of the public land
states and the quarantine bill. The con-
ference committee report of the Indian
appropriation bill Is likely to receive
attention. and II is understood that 4
opportunity offers, a portion of the
time will be devoted to private pension
and house bills on the calendar. Sen
ator Morgan hopes to have a favorable
report on the Nicaraguan canal bill to
present to the senate late in the week.
VIII Re Passed Wednesday.
Washington, June 1.-THE debate up
on the Newlands resolutions providing
for the annexation of Hawaii will con-
tirue in the house this week until
Wednesday afternoon. when at 5 o'clock
a vote will be taken. Meantime. q
ference reports upon the sundry civil
bill. indian and District of Coiumbia
appropriation bills may be presented
and considered. hut owing to the great
desire to speak upon Hawaii these re-
ports most likely will be delayed until
after Wednesday. The general def
cheney bill Is expected to be taken up
Thursday, and will be disposed Of
quickly. Aside from the quarantine bill
there are 10 measures OF much impor-
lance likely to come up, beyond appro-
priation bills.
