over the pending propositions for currency
revision. Early in the meeting Mr.. john

with Chairman Walker. in the course of
which Mr.. johnson declared that the chair
man was pursuing a rule or ruin" policy
as to the line of currency action which the
committee should take. Mr. Walker resent
ed this. saying he would regard Mr. john

in.
Later Mr.. Hill of Connecticut moved to

In the Senate today Mr.. Hawiey (Conn.)
secured the adoption of resolution direct
ing the Secretary Of the Interior to furnish
the Senate the total Fer capita cost of ed
ucating Indisn children at certain Indian
schools; the total cost of transporting
pupils to and from the schools, including
the number transported; approximately
what proportion of the children educated in
the schools return to the blanket and camp
condition, an0 what can be done to pre-
vent such retrogression and continue the

they have entered, and what Is the relative
value of the influence of the educated
youth at home and those educated away

fore the Senate the resolution Of Mr.. Petit
grew SD declaring it to be opposed to
the policy of the United States to acquire
territory, to defepd which a navy would be
required. which was laid over yesterday.

marks the senator from South Dakota pro-
posed to make upon the resolution would
infringe upon a subject under discussion
in. executive session, said he would move
that the Senate, under rule 35, go into ex-
ecutive session.
Mr.. Pettigrew remarked that he could as
well offer his remarks in executive session
as in open session, and "if the friends OF
the Hawaiian treaty are SO tender about
the matter he was willing to go into ex-
ecutive session.

Against Open Sessions.
After the doors were closed upon Senator

offered a motion for the consideration Of
the resolution in open session, and about
half an hour was devoted to debate upon it.

and the motion for open sessions was de-
feated by a large majority. The discussion
of the treaty upon it's merits was then re-
sumed and Senator White continued the
speech in opposition to it which he had be-
gun yesterday.

Means of Raising Money-Ap-
pca1s to Police.

The poor are naturally suffering greatly
from the effects Of the cold, but the charit-
able associations are doing all in their
power for their relief. Secretary Wilson of
the Associated Charities stated This morn
ing that contributions are not coming in as
fast as should be and might be expected.
Rich charitable persons. he states, have
given but little so far. Most of the contri-
buttons received have been of clothing and
other supplies. What is really needed most.
however, is coal People, he says, do not
care to go down into their pockets and
pay coal bills. so there is always lack of
this. Five tons were donated yesterday.
and these are being delivered. Secretary
Wilson says that wood, whether sawed Or
not, Is always gladly received. The I'M
sawed wood can be used as well as that
which is already cut, and can be given to
families where the male members can chop
it UP.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR MAD.
He Says the Papers Have Managed to
Keep Before the People a Lot Of
Stuff that Wont Wash Down.

Emperor Williams sentiments to-
ward the United States has under
gone a change in the last several
weeks, If we can place confidence in
what he says now. The associated
press agent has been put in posses
sion of the following, as coming
from Emperor William;
after the repeated official as
surances which our government has
given Of its Intention to maintain
the most stringent and most loyal
neutrality and his majesty's brief
but pointed, declaration to the
same effect in the speech from the
throne at the closing of the reich
stag, in which he testified TO the
unbroken friendship between the
two countries. it is downright folly
to speak of Germany's ulterior mo
tives in connection with the war.
There has not been a single act or
word of the government which
could be construed as unfriendly to
the United States nor has the
government any such intention in
the future. 1t is difficult to
understand the train of reas-
soning by which the Americans
conclude that either the emperor
or the government is unfriendlY
to them. Either as a nation or as
a belligerent Germany has always
kept faith in politics and in diplom-
acy. Why, then, this studied at
tempt of the American and British
press to construe every act as an
unfriendly step2

A KIDNAPPER KNABBED.

James B. Hall has troubles of his
own now, and he did not have to
look up the police to tell them about
it, but they looked him up and will
let him face a Louisiana Judge and
Claiborne Parish jury who will
listen attentively to his tale of woe.
1t seems that Hall is one of those
ventursome knights who travels
over the country and pass them
selves off for any old thing, to gain
admission into household.
He found himself in Claiborne
Parish one day last week at farm
house, where a widow lived who has
fourteen-year-old daughter, both
charming and comely.
Hall soon found that he had
picnic and that the ladies we're cas-
lily to believe any tale he might tell,
and he passed himself off for a
great detective sent there to catch
two negroes. While he was at the
farm house he proposed marriage
to the widow and gaining her CON
sent and getting her "roll, some
forty dollars, they left for Shreve-
port, and there Mrs. Spears, the
lady to whom Hall was to be mar
ried tried to mortgage her home
for $400, but did not succeed,
While in Shreveport he took the
fourteen-yeaI-old daughter from
the mother and went to a saloon
and tried to rent a room for their
occupancy, but he got kicked out
by the saloon man, who reported
him to the police. He was arrested,
but, there being no specific charge
against him, he was discharged,
and on gaining his liberty brought
his new made wife and girl here,
carrying them some four miles in
the country at the home of Mrs.
Spears sister
The relatives of Mrs. Spears,
missed he~ in Claiborne Parish, and
started out to find her and soon
located them near this place,
The sheriff of Claibourne Parish
came here and went out to the
country home Of Mrs. Spears sis
ter and found the man at the din
ner table eating his dinner. He
was arrested and searched and on
his person was found big roll of
confederate bills with some eight
dollars of currency wrapped
around it, and this was all that
was left of the widows forty dol
lars that she had turned over to
him.
The officers say the woman is of
unsound mind and that she is not
responsible for her acts, and that
the charge they will place against
Hall will be for kidnapping the girl,
and they intimated while here, that
what the Louisiana law would do to
Hall, would be plenty to do him
for some time. He left here with
bracelets on his wrist.

LANDING OF TROOPS.

Washington, June l8.-For the
moment the landing of Gen. Shat
ter's army of invasion on Cuban soil
is the subject of interest in army
aud navy circles. Despite conflict
ing reports it is stated with detin-
iteness by high officials that the big
transport procession has moved
eastward around Cape Maysi and
not by the western route. The
route taken is expected to bring
the troops to the place of debarka-
tion by tomorrow unless some un-
foreseen delay has occurred, and
the arrival may be before that.
The specific instructions sent by
Gen. Miles to Garcia covered in de-
tail the landing of the Americans
forces. Garcia was to harass and
aud engage the Spanish bands and
see that reinforcements were not
sent to Santiago and the points
where Americans troops were land
ed. The landing proper is calcu-
lated, will take at least ten or
twelve hours after the army engin-
eers have done their work. The
officials have not even omitted to
calculate on failure to work the
pontoon pier by reason of the fire
of the Spanish artillery and they
are prepared for a landing through
the surf, if need be, although this
is not anticipated. The beach is
low and sandy far out and therefore
is we'll calculated for such a landing,
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-06-20
THE LATEST ADVICES.

The latest advices obtainable is
to the effect that Shafter and his
army has joined Simpsons fleet
and that a landing was being looked
for today. The troops have in all
probability been landed by this
time and are now besieging the
city of Santiago and its capture is
a foregone conclusion.
At Manila the first expedition of
troop ships haye arrived with the
Charleston and they will be used in
taking the city of Manila, which
ere this has fallen and is now in
their hands.
The outlook at every point is
favorable to our aims and we think
by the end of the week our flag will
be flying in many Spanish towns Of
Importance.
