THREE RESOLUTIONS CALLING FOR
CESSATION OF HOSTlLiTlES.
Allen Would Recognize Belligerency.
Cannon Wants March as the Day For
Cuban Independence-NIaSon Requests
President to Notify Spain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Three propo.
sitions differing materially as to meth
ods were presented to the senate Tues
day for the relief of the Cuban insur-
gents. Allen (Neb.) offered as an
amendment to diplomatic and consul
lar appropriation bill resolution recog-
nizing the belligerency of the insurgents
and said he hoped thus to afford the
senate an opportunity to vote on the
proposition. Cannon (Utah) offered a
resolution urging the president to noti-
flying the kingdom OF Spain that if it
did not recognize the independence of
the Cuban republic before March 4,
1895, the United States would recognize
the belligerency of the Cubans and
within 80 days thereafter assert the in
dependence of the Cuban republic.
Mason (Rep., nls.) followed with
resolution requesting the president to
notify Spain. that the Cuban war must
cease at once and declare the intention
of the United States to restore and
maintain peace of the island of Cuba.
Both Cannon and Mason gave notice of
their intention to speak on their resolu-
tions today.
The right of Hon. Henry w. Corbett
to a seat in the senate from Oregon oc-
cupied the senate's attention for two
hours, Senator Chandler speaking in
favor Of seating the claimant. The re-
mainder Of the afternoon was spent in
executive session.
Pettigrew Opposes Annexation.
Senator Pettigrew Is. d. was the
only speaker on the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty in the executive session. He
opposed the treaty, resuming his speech
where he had left off a week ago, TAX
ing up the line of his argument in con-
nection with his assertions concerning
the area and population Of the island.
He asserted that the area capable OF
sugar cultivation amounted to fully
10000 acres and said that as the land
was very productive there was nodoubt
s that all the sugar necessary to supply
the demands of the United States could
be produced in Hawaii. He quoted
official statistics to the effect that II
months of last year there had been 1885,.
600, 900 pounds of Hawaiian sugar i'm.
ported into the United States.
The senator then undertook to show
that all the sugar grown on the islands
must be produced by Asiatic labor, re.
peating and celebrating on the argu-
ment that no colonies of the Anglo.
Saxon race had ever been successful
within the tropics. He replied to Sen
ator Teller on this point, saying that
the facts were against the Colorado sen
ator's contention and that the Hawaiian
islands would prove no exception to the
rule that the white man could not and
would not labor in a tropical climate

government as a result of the letter
which he wrote last December in The
Aurore, strongly rejecting upon high
case, opened today in the assize court of
the Seine. The most keen public interest
was manifested in the case. Hundreds
of people surrounded the court, anxious
to gain admittance The police meas
ures taken to insure order were most
rigorous.
Although the court was thronged,
quiet was maintained.
After the reading of the Indictment
the advocate general explained that
the charge was strictly limited to the
passage in M. Zola's letter denouncing
the Esterhazy courtmartial Continu-
ing, the attorney general said it was
imperative to prevent the proceedings
from wandering, and thus playing
into the hands of the accused, whose
aim it is to get revision of the Drey.

Colonel Patty du Clam was then called
and refused to testify. NJ Laborie
urged the Importance of his testimony,
adding that unless the court ordered
the witness to testify lie might be COM
PEELED to demand an adjournment until
tn next session.
David Christie Murray, the novelist
and playwright. had a column inter
view with Emile Zola. Zola, it ap-
pears, was anything but hopeful of the
outcome of his trial, and said: 1--WE
know everything about the Dreyfus
case, but it is impossible to describe the
pressure to impose silence upon the
men who are able and ready to reveal
! the truth. Our documentary evidence
is not even looked at, and our witnesses
have refused to testify, or have been
| ordered TO be silent. The facts are
clear and absolutely beyond denial, but
the authorities refuse to allow us to pro-
duce our evidence.

Now that the ginning season is
about to open, We desire to call the
attention of our ginners to the effort
being made by the leading cotton
factors of the country to have adopt
ed uniform bale. Many reasons
are given why standard sized bale
should be adopted and the advan-
tages mentioned are reasonable. The
change can be effected at small or
no expense at all. All that is peces-
sary is tc make the press box 24x54
inches long on the inside and deep
enough to make bale weigh 500
pounds. From practical tests it
was found that this size bale was
pressed with greater density and
when compressed the bagging usually
placed on bale will cover it COM
pletely thus protecting it from the
dust and dirt cf transit and making
it bring a higher price on the market.
These are some Of the suggestions
which we throw out for the consider
alton of our ginners and we trust
that as matter of convenience TO
themselves and customers, as we'll as
to their financial interests, that they
will make the change at once.

Free Ferry, Yes or No.


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The question of free ferry for the
benefit Of the citizens living on the
north side of Saluda river has been
agitated by you and others for the
last year or two to put us on an
equal footing with those living on
the south side in going to our court
house on business. This on the face
looks like progress and justice but,
while one or especially two ferries
would inconvenience very few in
dividuals, would they be satisfied or.
demand that every little ferry on the
river be made free whether they lead
direct to the county seat or not?
The county government is big
thing, and now has considerable
indebtedness, as the treasurer's re-
port shows to every one, so it stands
the Board in hand to administer it as
economical as possible; nevertheless
Justice demands that appropriations
be made some times. I don't think
any one even thought of seriously
considering the matter until last
spring after two Democratic clubs,
Chipquepin and Sandy Run, the
furthest removed from the river,
favored it.
Now, my object in writing is to
carry out a suggestion Of member
of the Board: "As the Executive
Committee will not meet before the
election, could not the Chairman, MIR.
Ehrd, have printed: Free Ferry, at
the bottom of the ticket and request
every voter on south side to vote at
the primary, yes or no." Then the
Board will know if the people favor
it. J. W. Dreher.
