THE MOOD OF THE HOUSE.
The Democrats Hopeful of Repub
Iicau Help for Cuba.

The members of the House who favor
action by that body on the Cuban ques-
ton are largely Democrats, but there is
a belief here that it will be impossible
for Mr. Reed to hold down quite re-
spectacle number of Republicans
whose constituents are urging them to
follow the popular side of the question
as it is being developed in the Senate
1t is this hope, which looks brighter
every day, that keeps the Democrats
of the House intact on the Cuban ques-
ton. They have not even been dis
couraged by the repeated suppression
by Speaker Reed and by the constant
objection to unanimous consent for the
consideration of anything that looks re-
motely like discussion of the Cuban
war.
Mr.. De Almond, one of the leading
Democrats of the House has endeav-
ored many times to get the matter be-
fore the body and he is credited with
being the author of the plan to tack
a Cuban amendment onto some appro-
pr:ation bill in the Senate, which would
secure a direct vote on it in the House.
Mr. De Almond believes that in some
such a way as this, even after some fail
ures, the issue will come sqlarely be-
fore tle House andithea, as he put it
yesterday. there will be q debate which
will make the county .rhg. Outside of
any chances in the Hesise, and there
they will be watched with keen inter
est, Mr. De Armonl places great reli-
ance On the leaders in Jfla Senate on the
great question of the hour
MI. De Armond was inadvertently re-
ported yesterday as; saying that such
an amendment to an appropriation bill
as that referred to above was abso-
lutely impossible in the Senate. Mr.. De
Almonds views are widely known TO
be just the reverse. land, Of course, the
error in the statement was obvious to
all who are familiar with his unwaver-
ing fidelity to the cause of the insurg-
ents a >lrI<s

ROW In JASPER'S CHURCH
The Old Deac0ns Will Not Give
Way to the New.
The Police Called to the Edifice OF
the "Sun Do Move" Preacher to
Preserve Order.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 9-There was
trouble on Monday night in John Jas
per's church, the Sixth Mount Zion.
and for some minutes there was hot
time in the old town" Ever since the
beginning of the year there has been
trouble brewing among the flock of the
teacher of the doctrine that the sun
do move and this split in the church
was caused by the election of a new
set of deacons on January l. The old
officers were then turned out" and an
entire new lot elected Since this
change IN the church government, the
good sisters and brethren" have been
at loggerheads, and anything but a
united congregation has been the result
Last night there was a big meeting
held in Jasper's church, the aged divine
and founder of that house OF worship
presiding. The trouble all began on a
motion to reconsider the vote" by
which the present deaconS were elected
When the police arrived at the church
prominent officer in the church,
Royal Rex, asked if they had a war
rant for the arrest of anyone, and if
not, by what right they had intruded
themselves. The officers promptly sf-
fenced this brother by informing him
that If there was a disturbance going
on warrant wasn't needed in order to
make an arrest. The scene presented
when the four policemen entered was
an animated one Half dozen men,
bers of the congregation were speaking
at once, but Jasper was perfectly cool
and collected. and pounded his gavel
until it was heard above the uproar.
The appearance of the four members of
the police force interrupted the meeting
for a short time. Jasper politely re-
queSted the officers to step on the out
side explaining that as far as he was
concerned he did not object 10 their
presence but that the members Of the
congregation did. He asked them.
however, 10 remain in the immediate
neighborhood, as their services might
be needed.
Just what occurred after that ques-
tion was put to the body is not known,
as the congregation was very strict in
the enforcement of the rule that no one
not a member of the church should be
allowed within its walls during such a
meeting, but certain it is that residents
in that immediate neighborhood heard
pistol shot, and a few moments later
the message was received at the near
est police station requesting the SER
geant to send half a dozen officers to
Jasper's church quick
One of the officers. who is himself
good Baptist. advised Jasper what 10
do under the circumstances. II seems
that Jasper is in favor of the deacons as
elected on January /.
The meeting lasted almost all night.
but there was no more trouble. The
old deacons will probably take possess

Long a Friend of Cuba.


Mr.. Mason. of Illinois, here obtained
the floor and made an earnest appeal
for Cuba. He stated that the cause of
Cuba was the one thing he cared for
( and wished to promote in his official
caDaciIy. Even before he became a
member of the Senate his sympathies
had been fully aroused in behalf of the
patriots of that island against Spanish
tyranny.
Il have hesitated long" said Mr.. Ma
son, before presenting the present res
olutiOn. Not because / doubted its ur-
Sency, but because / feared that in my
poor efforts 10 assist the Cubans TO in
dependence might in some way in
jure unwittinely the cause which l
hoped to assist" MIR. Mason said that
he was making this fight from "a sense
of justice and duty, which he could no
longer resist. and that if he was MAX
ing mistake he wanted the censure to
fall on him and not upon the cause OF
Cuba.
Il deny said he. that ii is an at
tempt to put the Administration in the
strings. I have followed the political
fortunes of this Administration so far,
and l am proud of it. But as l under
stand the Constitution of the United
States. and as / understand my duty

this body has some mission to per-
form"
Refutes Mr. Hale's Statements.
Mr. Mason here took UP the state
ment of Mr.. Hale that there were no
Americans who had left this country In
fight for Cuba He said that he knew a
number personally, and would furnish
the Senator from Maine a list of their
names and addresses. But" said he.
while il is true that comparatively,
few have left here for that purpose. it
is also true that millions of dollars have
been spent by this Government to keep
them. as well as arms and ammunition,
from going to cuba. while nothing has
been done tC keep the Spaniards from
killing the women and children on the
island
The galleries were crowded, and this
statement OF Mr.. Mason's brought
great applause. ..--s.
Let me be understood at the out
set continued Mr.. Mason. We are
charged with seeking to annex the ISL
and of Cuba. Every time we are crit
icised by the space editors of this coun-
try we are charged with attempting to
steal the island. The original lingo
may have been for the acquisition of
territory but / am not of that class.

Burglary at watertown .

Wednesday morning bright and ear
ly the Watertown Postmaster, Mr..
Hezekiah Fisher, was surprised upon
going into his Office TO find that some
one had been there before him, and had
taken in stamps and cash about fifty
dollars. Mr.. Fisher had in the store
considerable small change, and this also
was taken. A portion of the same,
some coppers wrapped in paper. was
found in the road some little distance
from the scene of the robbery.
Not only was the post Office entered,
but the store belonging to j. T. Dun
bar, of the same village, was broken
into. Mr. Dunbar could not say yester-
day what was missing. No money had
been taken, for none was left in the
store, but it is possible that some goods
might have been appropriated by those
who took the trouble to force an en-
trance into the store.

GETS FAMOUS ASTRONOMER.
Unfverxify of Chicago Secures Dr..
Edwin Brant Frost from DART
mouth College.

DR.. Edwin Brant Frost, OF Dartm outh
college, will become a member Of the
faculty of the University of Chicago at
the beginning OF the next school year.
Prof. Frost, who is at present professor
of astronomy at Dartmouth and direc-
tor of the Shattuck observatory, will
assume the rank of full professor at
the university and will work with the
big lens at the Yerkes observatory.
Prof. Frost is a graduate of Dart
mouth. and has been an instructor at
his alma mater, with the exception of
two years spent in study abroad, ever
since his graduation in 1886. IN 1890 he
went abroad, intending to study in
Strasburg, but he had an opportunity
20 become volunteer assistant at-the
imperial astrophysical observatory in
Potsdam and so spent two years there
assisting Vcgel and Scheiner in spec.
troscopic research work. During his
stay these noted men. by their investi-
cations in thermal radiation of sun
spots and solar surfaces, placed IN
doubt the theory that the spots on the
sun are cavities in the photosphere.
The professor returned 10 Dartmouth
in 1892. His best work since his re-
turn is the translation and revision of
Schelner's Astronomical Spectroscopy,
which takes precedence over the orig
inal rs an authority or the subject. At
the Yerkes observatory he will devote
special attention TO the Photographic
study of Etellar spectra with the large
telescope.

feelings of curious interest. but the col

sault on his dignity was in progress. and
when two lietentants gently grasped his
arms and tried to lead him to the chair,
he hung back and scowled.
After some persuasion he was induced
to seat himself, and within few min
utes his face was entirely hidden by
lather and the barber had begun to sep
arate the officer and his stubble growth
of many days. Even then the don did
not appear wholly reconciled, and kept
rolling his eyes, twitching his mouth
and hoarsely grunting his disapproval
of the entire affair. He tipped" the
barber at the conclusion of his shave,
and retired moodily to his cell.
