over Cuban soil.'
Representative A c. Shuford of North
Carolina PopD: "The message was what
| expected. 1t was properly referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affdirs. h9t
committee should report reasUnobl
soon. Our Govrnment ought. then. with
all the facts before 1t, to recognize Gu
ban independence. If necessary it should
follow this step by Intervention in the
interest of starving humanity. The
many thousands in Cuba who are starv-
ing should be relieved. This in1eINtn-
tion, If Spain opposes, should be by our
Army and Navy"
The Time Has Come.
Representative w. w. Kitchin of
North Carolina Dem): "The message
seems disappointing. 1t did not impress
me. What l heard of it was tame.
There were no suggestions-only a tame
recital of facts, some of which were
before known. ! represent d conservative

with honor-I might say at almost any
price. But they think as | think-that
the time has now come to recognize Gu

Representative 3. F. Howell of New
Jersey CRep): 81 have not until now
favored Intervention. but Spain's per
sistence I'm a wrong-headed course, her
inability TO conquer the island, and
above all her terrible inhumanity. tell
that there should be no further delay
on the part of our Government. Let
independence be followed. If necessary,
very soon by armed Intervention. The
responsibility will then rest upon Spain"
Representative J. +. Stewart of New
Jersey (RepD: 81 say, as / said in my
speech on the naval bin Friday. let us
intervene just as speedily as we can.
Delay will hurt our cause"
Representative J. 4. Moon Of Tennes-
see DemD: THE Presidents message,
] think. does not impress Congress with
Mr. Mckinley's patriotism, although
there may be something behind it Of
which we have no knowledge, but which
he intends to hereafter submit 10 Con-
gress. I trust this is the case"
Representative w. V. Sullivan of Miss
issippi DemD: we have a right TO ex-
pect something more from the President.
His message Of today might better new
er have been presented to Congress. It
says nothing that the country cares to
hear"

Major BrengIe's Last Service.

Salvation Army Hall was crowded last
evening. The occasion was doubly in
teresting. 1t was a union service of all
the officers and soldiers of the army in
the District and also the last appear
ance of Major Brengle. The devotional
services were conducted by Staff Captain
Noble and the message was delivered in
beautiful songs and appealing words by
soldiers of the two local corps. The sub
iect of Major BrengIe's discourse was
''The Hidden Life" and for more than
an hour he held the closest attention of
the audience.

"Probably no single drug
is employed in nervous dis
eases with effects so mark
edly beneficial as those of
cod-liver oil.
These are the words of
an eminent medical teacher.
Another says: "The hy-
pophosphites are generally
acknowledged as valuable
nerve tonics. ;"
Both these remedies are
combined in Scott's Emul-
sion. Therefore, take it
for nervousness, neuralgia,
sciatica, insomnia and brain
exhaustion.

QUEEN LII FILES PROTEST.
Formally Demands of the Senate the
Restoration to Her of the
Crown Lands.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2o.-Ex-Queen Lii
uokalani sent to the senate to-day the fol-
lowing protes against the appropriation
of the crown lands of Hawaii by the United
States:
ITO the senate of the United States.
II. Liliuokalari. OF Hawaii, named heir ap-
parent on the 10th day of April. 1877, and
proclaimed queen of the Hawaiian islands
on the Goth day of January. 1891. do hereby
earnestly and respectfully protest against
the assertion of ownership of the United
States of America of the so-called Hawaiian
crown lands. amounting TO about 100000
acres. and which are my property, and |
especially protest against such assertion of
ownership as a taking of property without
due process of law and without just or
other compensation.
Therefore. supplementing my protest of
June IL. 1881, ! call upon the president and
the national legislature and the people of
the United States to do justice in this mat
ter, and to restore to me this property, the
enjoyment of which is being withheld from
me by your government under what must
be a misapprehension of my right and title.

INCREASING H NAVY,
senator Hanna Thinks That Only Act
uaI Requirements Should BE
Filled AT Present,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2o.-There was an
informal discussion in the senate commit
tee on naval affairs to-day of the sug-
gestion of the naval department.. for the
increase of the navy. The question was
raised by Senator Hanna. who advanced
the opinion that, for the present. additions
TO the navy should be limited to the act
ual requirements. Many improvements now
making in naval architecture. he thought,
rendered it eNpedient to wait as long as
possible before entering too extensively
upon ShipbuiidinS. Other senators present
expressed n similar opinion. but, as the
question was not formally before the COM
mittce, no action was taken.
