CANNON AND MASON.
Senator'S Stirring Appeals in Behalf OF
the Cubans.

Washington, Feb. 11.-For more
than three hours today the senate
chamber rang with eloquent appeals in
behalf of the Cuban insurgents. An
nounced speeches were delivered by
Cannon and Mason in advocacy of the
adoption of resolutions which they pre-
sented to the senate yesterday. Fol-
lowing Cannon's speech, Hale adj
dressed the senate briefly, urging the
senate to uphold the policy of the ad-
ministration.
The galleries were packed with peo-
pie, aware that this would be field
day for Cuban oratory.
While Cannon was speaking, sem
sational incident occurred. A mem
Der of the house, standing near the
speaker, audibly denounced as a lie,
seemingly, some statement Cannon had
made. Cannon, pale with feeling,
made reply to what at the moment
seemed an insult, but which was sub
sequently satisfactorily explained.

THE BEST FOOD.
IL Is That Which Best Satisfies the
Taste and Appcascs
the Appetite.

It is the fashion of some well-mean-
ing people to look suspiciously upon all
food that is especially tempting to the
appetite. They seem TO regard the
taste as naturally depraved and liable
TO lead those who are guided by it into
all varieties of danger. Nothing could
be more absurd than such fancy. The
taste of person who is not in health
IS often depraved; that of a person in
health, whether man or child, is the
best guide it can have in the selection
of food.
The mother who ignores the taste of
her children by compelling them to eat
that which she considers good for them
is doing a cruel, as well as a danger
Gus, thing. She is attempting to sup
plant the Heaven-given guide which
man, as well as the poor brute of the
fields, possesses to enable him to dis
tinguish between that which is good
and wholesome and that which is poi
sonous. A poison is not necessarily q
thing which is fatal to life. Strictly de-
fined, it is anything which in itself or
in any of the products of its chemical
transformation in the body shall be in
furious to the structure or action of any
organ.
Oatmeal porridge, IN this sense, may
be a poison, for every intelligent person
ought to know that this 'simple grain
food" sometimes acts very injuriously
on the digestive organs. The mother
who forces a little child to eat oatmeal
when it is repugnant to Its tnste is
acting in q tyrannous manner and prob
ably endangering its health. One of the
inalienable rights of all human beings,
even of children, is that the food be en-
1oyable and agreeable to the taste, as
God intended it should be.
The human organs Of taste are very
complicated. When food Is taken into
the mouth it passes before three sets
of nerves before it can be swallowed
Nearly all virulent poisons have SO
0crid q quality that they are rejected
at once by the taste. This is especially
true of vegetable poisons, which, for
the protection of man and animals, are
made especially bitter and distasteful
The sense of odor assists the taste. a
| great many things which we call tastes
are perceived by the sense of odor
This is true of pepper and most spices
This combination of the nerves oil
taste and smell, which is the only pro
lection of the animal, should also be
the highest guide of man in his selec
tion of food. The ideas of food theorists
change with each generation. The ia
vorite foods of one generation are con
demned by the theorists of the next
Meantime that God-given guide, th,
taste, remains, and after oil the agei
has changed but little. Essentially tn,
same kind of leavened bread and tn,
same meats and vegetables are eater
to-day as were served on the ia
bles of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. TIL,
best guide TO the best food is given II
the simple lines of one of England
greatest poets: THAT which IS no
good Is not delicious to q well-gov
erned appetite. IN. Y. Tribune.

STOPPED BY A CRUISER

The German tank steamer Bay0nne.
which has arrived at Marcus Hook
from Venice was stopped outside the
Delaware Capes on Wednesday after
noon by the United States auxiliary
cruiser Yankee. All the Yankee want
cd to know was the identify and mis-
sion Of the Bayonne. The Yankees
crew were attracted by the yellow fun
mel with Black band that the Bayonne
has, yellow being a favOrite color of
The Spaniards. When off Long Island
on Wednesday the crew of the British
steamer Lindisfarne, in port from sum

CHILDREN AND WHEELS.
Parents Should See to It That the
Little Ones Do Not over
exert Themselves.

While bicycling In moderation is one
of the best forms of exercise for many
adults, particularly the gouty and
those who lead sedentary indoor lives,
indulgence in it by the young should
be hedged nbout with many precau-
tions. When not overlOne, it is probably
as beneficial TO children as to their
elders, but It is less needful, since the
young, especially boys, seldom suffer
for want of exercise, their outdoor
games giving them, as a rule, all they
need. But oside from this there is
positive danger in the wheel, arising
from the proneness of children to COM
pete with adults-to ride too long, too
fast, and too far.
Wheeling resembles stair-climbing in
its nature and effects No mother
would allow her child to run up the
steps of the Washington monument
two or three times day. yet she will
let him take his bicycle and race over
country roads for miles, his little heart
pumping $50 or 200 times a minute, and
fondly thinks it is doing him good.
It is just here that the danger lies
the heart is strained, Overstrained; il
Is dilated and then enlarged; it works
continuously 20 its full strength, draw
ing on all its reserve force, and by the
time the child has become a man the
heart is permanently tired and may
possibly stop short Some day without
warning.
Children need not be forbidden the
use of the bicycle, but parents should
see to it that they have properly con-
structed saddles, and that they do not
"scorch," climb steep hills, ride against
high winds, or ride at all more than q
few miles at a stretch. Unfortunately
it is these very feats that they are
often melted by their elders to perform
There are few more piteous sights, tC
one who has seen the consequences o.
such folly, than that Of tiny child OF
a tiny wheel struggling up a hin aftei
a aix-foot father and a seasoned mother

Harrisburg, May 27.-As it looks now
the three regiments still at Mt. Gretna
will be sent to guard the Delaware bay
and river against any invasion Of the
enemy. Governor Hastings has advised
the War Department of the conditions
along the river and bay in an exhaust
i've report, showing the situation from
the capes to Philadelphia. 1t has been
suggested that a Spanish force might
be landed at the lower Delaware forts
and thus interfere with the working
Of the submarine mines and torpedOes
which have been placed at the mouth
Of the river
The governor thinks that the neces-
sity of troops on the Delaware is APP
parent, owing to the distant points of
mobilization Of the troops now in SER
vice. The governor recommends that
one regiment be stationed at Fort
Delaware. on Pea Patch Island, an
other at the battery at Delaware City
and third at Fort Mott
Il is stated on the best authority that
Major J. J. Miller will succeed General
John A. Wiley as commander of the

MARYLAND's DISGRACE.

A lynching In a civilized community,
where the processes of the law are in full
force and effeJt to protect society and
to punish those who are guilty Of
wrong doing, is at all times and under
all circumstances a most deplorable
and demoralizing incident, bringing dis
grace upon the community in which
the tragedy Is enacted. Where courts
are weak and inefficient, or corrupt
and prejudiced, society is Ofttimes COM
PEELED, in self-defence, to take the law
into it's own hands and administer JUS
tice, but no such excuse can be urged
by those who participated in that hor-
rible affair at Salisbury, Md, early
yesterday morning.
A lynching is, in its best form, an
indecent thing, but there are grades of
indecency, and the worst one was
reached by those who executed Garfield
King, the negro lad who shot down
Herman Kenney, a white lad Of about
the same age. King would most GER
tainly have paid the penalty for his
outrageous act had the mob permitted
him to live and face a jury of Wicomico
county men. There was no likelihood of
a miscarriage Of justice, and no neces-
sity for lynch law Maryland is dis
graced by the action Of the men who
composed the bloOd-thirsty mob which
broke into a public jail and murdered
u man in most cruel and heartless
manner

JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES

JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES.
The Japanese are a progressive and
enterprising people They are wide
awake to the possibilities of the times,
and are extending their dealings with
the outside world as rapidly as they
can do so. In speaking of the trade
relations between the United States
and Japan the Commercial and Finan-
cial World, has this to say editorially:
The commerce OF the United States
with Japan has grown more rapidly
during the past year than that OF any
other nation. THE annual returns in
the foreign trade OF the Empire Of ia
PAN" just received by the Bureau OF
Statistics, show that the imports into
Japan from the United States increased
from 16,373 ,419 yen in 1896 to % ,030 ,537
yen In 1897, while her exports to the
United States increased from 81 ,533 ,341
yen in 1896 to 52,436, ,4O4 yen in 1897.
Only three countries, viz Great Bri-
tain, China and British India, made as
large sales to Japan as did the United
States in 1897, and in no case was the
increase in import as large as that
from the United States. The gain
when the United States has made over
other parts Of the world in supplying
Japan with her imports Is shown by
the fact that the imports from the
United States increased 65 per cent. il
1897 over 1896, while in total import,
from all parts OF the world the in
crease of 1897 over 1896 was only ?,
per cent, the gain Of Great Britain
our chief competitor, being only abou
10 per cent
The rapid development OF Japan
foreign commerce was shown by tn
fact that her exports in 1897 increase,
2S per cent. The articles which show
ed marked increase in Japan's i'm
ports from the United States were
Raw cotton, cotton duck, flour, hat
and caps, fowling pieces, carriages, pi
iron, plate and sheet iron. iron pipes
nails steam boilers and engines, steC
rails locomotive engines. railway car
riages, electrical machinery. spinnin
machinery. mining machinery, print
ing paper and telegraph wire
There is every evidence that the Is
land empire proposes to take q mos
prominent place in the worlds affair
and the other nations, especially OF
own, recognize the value OF her trade
