YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS

Yesterday was spent by the national
legislature in kting Cuban resolutions
from one wing of the capital to the other
and back again, in numerous efforts to
discover common ground upon which
both houses could stand.
The house, at once upon assembling.
took up the resolutions adopted by the
senate and substituted them for its own,
but with an amendment striking out
the clause recognizing the independence
of the Cuban republic.
Thus emasculated the resolutions
were returned to the senate, which, re-
fusng to concur in the house amend
ment, insisted upon its own measure, and
refused to adopt resolution asking for
q committee of conference.
The house, in turn, voted to insist
upon its amendment to the senate reso-
buttons, and ask for a conference.
Thus deadlocked upon one contention
of recognition of the existing govern
ment of Cuba, both houses appointed
conferees, as follows: Senate-Davis,
Foraker and Morgan. House-Adams,
Heatwole and Dinsmore.
Roll calls in the house resulted as fol-
lows:
On the Dingley motion, to concur in
the senate amendment to the house res
clution, with the Turpie contention
omtted-Yeas, 179; nays, 156-fourteer
Republicans voting with the Democrats
and Poplists.
On Bromwell's motion, to concur in the
senate amendment, recognizing Cuban
independence-Yeas 14S; nays, 172.
On Dingley's motion to insist, and to
ask a conference, carried without
division.
Roll calls in the senate We're as under
stated:
On the Davis motion, to concur in the
house mendment-Yeas, 80; nays, 46.
On the motion to appoint conferees-
Yeas, 34; nays, 43.
Later the senate appointed conferees
and took a recess until o'clock
The conferees were not ready to re-
port when the two houses reassembled
and recesses were taken until 10 and ther
until II o'clock. AT 10 o'clock this morn
ing an agreement was reached to restore
the words "and are" in the first para.
graph of the resolutions, and to elm.
inate entirely the Turpie amendment
recognizing the insurgent government
So the first paragraph will be as it passed
the senate, as follows: Resolved, tha
the people of the island Of Cuba are ant
of right ought TO be independent" Tht
remainder Of the resolutions, with tn,
exceptions noted, are practically thost
adopted by the senate.
The senate adopted the conference re-
port, As to 35.
The house then did likewise by a vot,
Of 293 to 5.
The joint resolution will be sent to thu
president for signature this morning.

ABANDON OR POSTPONE

1t would be the part of wisdom for the
executive committee Of La Feista to
promptly take steps to abandon the fes-
tivities for the present. In two weeks
time-the date Of the celebration-we
shall either be at war or still in the midst
of grave and anxious crisis. Certainly
by that time the clouds cannot have
cleared away. Few can find time or
have the desire to think of Fiesta at
the present time. Can anyone hope that
the situation will be any less critical
in two weeks time? The abandonment
or postponement of La Fiesta will GER
tainly be disappointment to a good
many, and will entail the loss of some
money which has already been spent In
preparation. Most of the money, how
ever. will not be wasted, for the majority
Of the preparations will be as serviceable
in six months time as now. But the
question Of economy should no longer
be considered. AS long as the country Is
facing such crisis, such a celebration
would be almost indecent, certainly in
consequent.

What the Country Demands

The country demands that reclamation
shall be given in full and overfiowing meas
ure for the dastardly destruction of the
Maine, for the massacre Of it's crew; the
country demands that the barbarism Of
Spanish warfare In Cuba shall stop at once;
that women and children shall not longer
be the victims of 1t. Unless Spain con-
cedes these things voluntarily, she should
be made to do so by force Of arms.-Fhila-
delphia Register.
The herald., 1898-04-19

From present indications it does not
seem supposable that Spain will give up
Cuba, but should such an event happen
it will not be brought about so much
through the efforts Of Pope Leo and the
concert of European powers as by the
expressed determination of the Ameri-
can people that the patriots Of Cuba who
have fought for three years for their
liberties, and have been subjected to
merciless atrocities, shall have their as
pirations gratified. The right of a peo-
to govern themselves is the law in
America.

has already been called to the fact that

The American Red Cross is loading a

the Cuban reconcentrados, the central
relief committee hoping to be able to get
them to destination within a few days.
This work is going on very quietly and
is attracting very little attention, not
withstanding it's great Importance.
There exists a great deal Of skepticism,
however, as to the success of this effort

propriated by the Spanish ministry
would never reach the people for whom

the American effort will be more sue

1t Is now conceded that the action OF
Great Britain in declaring coal to be
contraband, whatever the intent of the
order, will be of infinite advantage to the
United States at all points, save I'M the
far east. The superior shrewdness OF
the Spaniards, in drawing supplies from
the United States up to within very
recent period, is abundantly manifested.
1t is obvious that Spain has profited by
every hour of delay since war was con-
sidered inevitable. Their diplomats
have been as polite and as courteous as
have been our own, but it is not so ap-
parent that we have employed one hand
toward strengthening our position, while
extending the other In good fellowship
across the water.

AS to the exclusive prerogative of the
president to declare the independence of
a people there is a diversity of opinion.
Ex-Attorney General Miller has just
added the weight Of his judgment to the
affirmative of the proposition. But the
fact should not be lost sight Of that the
senate contains a number of recognized
authorities upon constitutional law and
precedent, who voted with the majority
for the Turpie amendment to the reso-
lutions as adopted. The Herald will not
undertake to decide the question, but it
believes the opinion will be shared by a
great majority of the people that IL it
be an exclusive presidential prerogative,
it is grant of power that ought never
to have been made, and an evil that
should be corrected at the earliest pos
sible moment 1t is prerogative which
the constitutional monarchs of Europe
are denied.

Brewster c. Kenyon of Long Beach, a
member of the Duckworth legislature, Is
a candidate for nomination on the Re
publican ticket to the Office Of secretary
of state. Kenyon is one of the two as
sembymen from Southern California
who voted to retain Duckworth in the
clerkship after he had loaded the en-
ployes' roll with double the number
needed. Nearly all the members of the
assembly urged Duckworth to do that
unlawful and outrageous thing, and
Kenyon is entitled to whatever credit it
is for the courage of sustaining him.
when so many others abandoned him,
after they had induced him to disregard
official duty and impose an unnecessary
and unjust tax upon the people. 1t
should be borne in mind that the Repub-
licans of the legislature voted to pay the
supernumerary employees. Kenyon
would be an appropriate candidate for
party which has no voice of condemna-
ton for Duckworth's acts.

The peace party has been untiring in


The peace party has been untiring IN
its efforts to induce the labor element
of the country to array itself against
war, for the reason that the heaviest
burdens would fall upon the working
men, but they seem to have had little
effect in cooling the patriotic ardor Of
the bread-winners, who embrace every
opportunity to declare for the most Wig
orous policy against Spain. Thus has
the Central Labor Union of New York.
the largest labor organization in the
United States, voted down peace resolu-
tions by an overwhelming majority;
while the Federation of Labor, in session
at Chicago, has not only gone upon
record in favor Of intervention and rec
ognition, but demanded that the pro-
ducts of European nations that shall dis
play unfriendliness to the United States
in the crisis be boycotted. The toilers of
this country long since ceased to look for
disinterested solicitude for their welfare
from the people who are now demand
ing peace at any price.

ENGAGED IN A MOCK MARRIAGE.
Escapndc of IA Young Girl Now Brings

CHICAGO, January 13.-Hcnry Collier
Mix and his bride are in Chicago at the
residence of the grooms brother-in-lav,
II. q. Wilson. The young couple were
greatly perturbed by the news from Cam
bridge, Mass, that Mrs. Mix was the wife
of Frank Farwell at the time the Chicago
Harvard student went with her to Buffalo
and was married. But they said the Far
we'll affair was a mock marriage, perform
ed as joke.
telegram has been received from Cam
bridge which gave the Information that
Farwell probably would give up his al
legged wife and that the marriage would
be annuiled. The dispatch said the mar
rage was considered legal in all respects
not losing sight OF the facts that the con-
tracing parties were minors. AS far as
l can learn from my wife, and l feel Ger
tain that she has told me all she knows
and remembers said Mr. Mix, the Prov
ldence marriage was simply joke. On
the evening OF August 20, 1896, my WIFE,
then Miss Maude Shaw of Cambridge, Mass,
was among party of young people at the
home Of an old schoolmate. Frank Far
well was her escort, and during the even
ing 1t was suggested that F'arWell and Miss
Shaw amuse the company by going through
q mock marriage ceremony. A young man,
whose name, my wife believes, was Cush-
man, volunteered to act as the maGis-
trate, and the joke was carried OUT
