A PERFECT GEM.
Congressman Cousins Beautiful
Tribute to the Names Dead.

The temper of the House was
significantly illustrated Mon
day, when Representative Cous-
ms, of Iowa, made a brief speech
in connection with the bill to re-
lieve the sufferers on the Maine.
Mr.. Cousins is comparatively
young man. from Iowa, heavily
built, tall and straight as an ar
row, with smooth, round face,
full Of character, jet black hair,
and deep set black eyes, under
dark overhangIng lashes. He is d
man who speaks rarely, but WHEN
he does address the House is al
ways sure to command the clos
est attention. He has a distinct
voice and pronounces his words
in tones that are musical, SYM
pathetic, and rich. His oratorlcal
effort Monday thrilled every
member, and held the Congress-
men on the floor and the crowds
in the galleries in absolute si-
lence for some five Of six min
utes. His speech was perfect
example of rhythmic English
and rivaled in the richness of it's
imagery and the beauty of its
diction any of Ingersoll's most
eloquent talks.
AS Mr.. Cousins stood in the
midst of his silent audience,
speaking slowly, but distinctly,
with his voice quivering with
emotion, using no gestures, he
seemed the embodiment of an
avenging Nemesis against
Spain. His beautiful tribute to
the memory of the men who had
lost their lives, his assertions
that money could not compensate
for the horrors experienced by
those who liYed nor makegood the
lives of those who had been lost,
his picture of the vultures how
ering above the mysterious Ha-
vana harbor, while the eagle
searched with piercing eye to
discern the truth, led through a
series of graphic sentences to
his climax. He pictured the peo>
Pile of the United States ready
and wiling to do their duty. and
then with dramatic forcefulness.
recited a verse from Rudyard
Kipling's ''Recessional," ending
with the words;
Lord God of Hosts; be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lsst we forget.
This last refrain was uttered
with a solemnity that seemed to
be in the nature Of warning,
and for fully halt minute after
he had ceased, theres was abso-
lutte quiet IN the chamber, as
though his auditors were Stun
ned. Then the applause broke
forth, and for several minutes it
was impossible for the most Wig
orous pounding of the gavel to
still the tempes5uous demonstra-
tion So stirred was the House
over the remarkable address that
it is almost reasonable to believe
that if a declaration of war against
Spain had been Immediately of,
fered, it would have been adopt
ed by acclamation. All during the
rest of the afternoon members
were repeating to~one another
the phrase, LEST we forget, lest
we forget"
MR.. COUSINS SPEECH.
Mr.. Cousins spoke as follows:
''Mr. Speaker: Whether this

measure shall prevail, either in
the form in which it has come
from the committee or in the
form as proposed in the amend
ment, 1t is both appropriate and
just, but hardly is it mentionable
in contemplation of the great cas-
lamity to which it appertains. It
will be an incidental legislative
footnote to a page of history that
shall be open to the eyes of this
republic and of the world for all
time to come. No human speech
can add anything to the silent
gratitude, the speechless reverence
already given by great and CRATE
full nation to its dead defenders
and to their living kin. No act of
Congress providing for their needs
can make restitution for their sac
riGce. Human nature does, in
human ways, its best, and still
feels deep in debt.

WE publish in another column
of this issue Congressman Cous-
ms tribute to the dead crew o.
the Maine, delivered in the House
last Monday. In thought an6

The Board of County Commis-

sewerage. This city and section
cannot make much further prog

BLOWN UP BY SPANIARDS,
THE SITUATION VERY GRAVE
Shown by the Official Report and
Findings of the Naval Court
Of Inquiry.

Court Of Inquiry appointed to in
vestigate the cause Of the Maine
disaster, has reported that the
loss Of the battleship was due to
an outside explosion.
The State Department by dis
rection of the President has ca
bled United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid to notify the
Spanish Government of this con-
clusion.
The President and cabinet ad :
visers held two extended sessions
to-day, one at 10. 80 d. m., and an
other at $50 p. m, at which the
report was considered in detail.
Mem bers of the cabinet stated
after meeting that the discussion
was CT grave character and that
never since the wrecking OF the
Maine has the situation seemed
so critical.
The Spanish Government has
cabled officially to Washington
that the Spanish naval commits
sion holds the disaster to the
Maine to be of internal origin.
The Government of Spair, it
can be stated positively, is not
disposed to turn back the torpe-
do fotiila now proceeding from
the Canaries, and would be disin-
clined to consider a suggestion
from this Government tending to
interfere with the disposition by
Spain of her own naval forces.
War preparations on an unpre-
cedented scale are being hurried
to completion by the War and
Navy departments, aud the
country, practically, is on a war
footing.
The foregoing gives the record
of one of the most eventful days
the national capitol has seen
since the close of the civil war.

By setting aside the wise and

ourselves over to the qualification
of our passions and appetites we
sell ourselves to our worst enemy,
aud incur the wrath of heaven and
the miseries of hell. What folly!
Why do we not prefer the service
of God, wherein the intellect and
will follow the leadings of the III
vine grace from choice and not
from compulsion? In the service
of God there is peace and happi-
ness. The soul finds rest, and the
intellect delight. Let US, then,
cast off the chains of slavery and
avoid the excesses of license. Let
US rather SO regulate our animal
and spiritual natures that they

Privates David Downey, William Hayes

leaving camp without leave and assault
hg the guard Tuesday morning last. Who
composed the court could not be learned.
Is all the officers declined to say anything
npon the subject.
The charge against the above named men
was of a most serious nature, especially
ls to Downey. as 1t Is alleged that he at
tempted to assault Lieutenant Venable,
who acting officer of the day the
morning in question.
AT dress parade Saturday evening at Z
o'clock Adjutant c. ]. Rixey read the YER
fict Of the court-martial. which was to the
effect that all the men had been fined, the
amount being left for Colonel Nalle to de-
eide. The men and three fellow members
were elated over the fact that they had
gotten off SO easily, as 1t was confidently
expected that much heavier sentence
would be imposed. All day yesterday 1t
was expected that Colonel Nalle would an
nounce the amount of the fines, but this
did not take place. Colonel Nalle sent the
verdict of the court-martial to general
headquarters for approval

Mr.. Louis Shuman yesterday treated the
Alexandria soldiers to all the Ice cream

say that the recipients appreciate these
acts OF kindness Is putting it very lightly.
