WIDOWS MAY MARRY AGAIN.

Washington, February 10.-The contest
which has been waged in the House com.
mittee on invalid pensions ever since the
assembling of Congress, over the question
of barring from the pension rolls the
widows and children of soldiers who
marry hereafter, cams to an end today in
the defeat of the proposition. The vote
disclosed five members of the committee
in favor of it and seven against it, the
division not being on party lines. The
division was as follows: Yeas, Ray, N.
Y, Warner, Illinois; Henry, Conn. ;
Smith, Mich. Republicans, and briggs,
Democrat of New York. Nays, Sulloway,
N. H.; Kerr, Ohio; Gibson, Tenn. ;
Sturtevant, Penn; Republican,; Dorton,
Democrat, Ohio and Botkin, Kanas and
Castle, California, Populists. This
probably ends the effort to secure the en-
aotment of general measure along these
lines at this session.

MOTHER GOT CHILD.
Divorce Libel Served on Detroit Man Be-
fore Daylight.

| Detroit, Me-, February 10.-One of the
most sensational and dramatic scenes
ever known here took place here yester-
day, in which two prominent families
figure, one of the parties residing in this
town and the other in Troy.
| Last August Mrs Blanche B. Morse left
her husband where they had been living
in this town and went to her father
house in Troy, taking with her their only
child, girl less than three years of age.
Mrs. Morse has continued to live with
her parents and there seemed no hopes
of reconciliation, when last week her
husband, Alfred W. Morse, went to the
house of Mr.. Bickmore, the wifes father,
as is claimed, on one Of the coolest days
OF the winter and forcibly took from the
wife the infant daughter, only partially
clothed, and inhumanly exposing 1t to
the severe weather.
Until today he had kept the child
hidden some three miles from Mr.. B1ck-
more's house.
Mrs. Morse. the wife, and her father
have been for several days consultin g
with Lawyer Hovey OF plttsiieid ana 1 Inc
husband has likewise been in consulta-
tion with Pittsfeld attorney, u. d..
Morse.
Late last night Mrs. Morse receiving
information as to the wherea bouts OF the
child and that the father was to leave the
state today and carry the baby with him,
at 4.So appeared at Lawyer Hovey's resi-
dence in company with her father, in
quest of legal information.
| n She was soon armed with libel for
divorce and, in company with Deputy
| Sheriff G. B. Haskell, shortly after day
| light appeared at the house where her
child was kept.
| Acting under the advice of her attorney
| Mrs. Morse entered the house with the
officer and as soon as she had seen her
child Immediately clasped it in hsr arms
and refused to let it's keeper exercise
further control over it in spite of protes-
| tations.
| AS it happened Mr.. Morse had left the
house for few minutes, but as the officer
and the mother came out of the house he
met them and in answer to his demand
upon the mother for the child the officer
served the papers upon him and assisted
| the happy mother and child to her
| fathers home.
| The officer took no part in assisting the
mother to obtain the child, but only in
protecting her from INJURY. Great excite.
ment prevails in the neighborhood.

by the joint efforts of Campbell, Whipple
and Mckay. Big Dick Burbush got the
ball between his feet and stood like q
dummy, while these three men pounded
away at the ball until, after the hottest
kind of work Campbell managed to drive
it into the Lewiston cage. The crowd
grew wild with excitement at this work
and cheered until the ball was put into
play again.
Three minutes more of hot work and
Campbell landed another goal by the help
of Whipple. Then there was more cheer
ing until the playing was resumed. Two
minutes more and by fine display of
strategy Campbell and Whipple drew
Furbush and Fitzgerald away from the
Lewiston cage and Mckay. ever in the
right place at theiright time. landed the
third goal by q pretty shot. This time the
cheering was deafening. Once more they
went OF it. The work was desperate and
hard, but the period ended with Portland
still one goal behind the Lewistons.
Never was there crowd SO wild with
JOY as the one in City hall last night
when Mckay, by one of his famous long
shots, scored the fourth goal for the home
team and tied the score. The play was
fast and furious for few minutes and
then with howl of joy from the audience
Portland took the lead, and apparently
the game. on Campbell's shot at the goal.

Campbell, pushed him backward onto the
floor and both Campbell and Furbush
were penalized for this, although the Port.

when Whipple had another foul called on
him for interfering with Walton, Port
land lost the winning goal on three fouls.

HOW DE LONE WILL GO HOME.

HON LIZ EoWG WILL ~
spanish minister's Congo VIII Be Pecul-
lar One.
Washington, February i0.-Under the
peculiar circumstances existing, the cere-
naony attending the departure of the
Spanish minister are attended with mach
doubt. 1t is usual when foreign repre-
sentative leaves the country for him to be
received in formal audience at the White
House, when an exchange of well wishes
takes place between him and the Presi-
dent. 1t is hardly expected that this
forniality will be observed in the present.
case, owing to the personal aspect of the
incident.
In cases that approach this in most re-
spect, the minister has usually allowed
his letters of recall to be presented by MS
successor. Senior Muruaga, who was
Senior De Lome's predecessor, left wash
ington suddenly on leave OF absence,
shortly after the appearance in news
paper of an interview in which he critl-
cised our government. He did not
ysturn to Washington, butSenor De LONE
appeared with hesletters OF recall OF MS
predecessor and letter accrediulng Nun
self as his successor. So that there is
precedent for failure on the part OF the
reE1flnR minister To tttBc 1Oii1lebA -
our officials. 1t is said at the state De.
partnent that there is no time limit
within which Senior De LONE must leave
Washington and being now only private
Spanish Citizen he may take reasonable
time to arrange his affairs here without
calling for criticism.
The De LONE letter has already at
tracted the attention of foreign govern
ments and appears to be regarded by
them as an important factor in the gen.
eral Cuban question. Some of the foreign
ministers at Washington have advised
their governments fully on the OCCUR
renee. These were misleading at the out
set, for memb ers of the diplomatic corps
assumed that the letter was forgery and
some advices conveyed this view of the
case. Now that its commences has been
established the facts have been sent to
most of the foreign capitals. No.lnctdent
fl recent days has caused such sensation
in diplomatic circles. There Is universal
regret among the ambas sailors and
ministers who have been brought into
close social relations with De LONE. 1t
has aroused keen discussion as to the
right of criticism which minister can
indulge in under the seal of q private
letter While there is no general concen-
sus of opinion among diplomatic author1-
ties, yet many of. them take the view that
it is not only right but duty for a
minister to present every detail, even OF
a personal nature which in his Judgment
may aid in n correct understanding of a
case. A distinction is made by them be-
tween official and personal letters.

GEN. wooDFoRD GUARDED.

Madrid, February 10-The news of the
De LONE incident was received too late
last evening to obtain opinions. The
government ascribed the authorship OF the
letter to the Cuban jingoes.
The Washington State Department an
nouncement that De Lone had admitted
the genuineness of the letter was not re-
oeived until early this morning.
Senior Canalelas was out of town. but
his secretary said he had never received
my such letter from De Lone.
For some time past, the authorities here
have been taking extra precautions in
guarding the residence of the United
States minister, Gen. Stewart l.. Wood
ford, which is on the outskirts of the
city.
On Sunday the guard was reinforced by
twenty four men. and the Heraldo says
that even this was not considered
sufficient.
All day long additional precautions
were adopted, evidently under the impress
sion that public order might be disturbed.
Therefor number of mounted civil
guards were posted in the vicinity.
Xhereupon the Heraldo asks whence the
necessity of those precautions, since
Madrid has offered absolutely not single
symptom Of Justifying such measures.
''SEND DE LONE HOME"
New York, February 1O.-Horatio
Rubens, counsel for the Cuban junta
here, said today:
I'm accepting the resignation of De
LONE instead of recalling him, the
Spanish government is guilty of most
objectionable and outrageous affront to
this country and its Chief Executive.
''The summary recall of De LONE
would have implied disgrace and odium
for that individual and desire to &C
quiesce in the just demands of this gov
eminent. As matters stand now, De
LONE has scored something of a triumph
and the Sagasta ministry says in effect,

very indiscreet after ALL

London, February 10.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon alone comments
on the De LONE incident 1t says:
ftSenor De LONE has resigned, and it
was the right course whether he wrote or
did not write the letter, but the incident
is bound to make unpleasantness between
the two governments and add to the
chances of trouble about Cuba, which are

Major general, L. S. A., (retired), said
MY answer is that / do not believe il

THE reason begins to be plain. The
Spanish army expects to be able to make
Il sufficient showing Of defense to satisfy
their home people. They believe they
can delay us till the heat of their climate
and the fever will come to their aid and
wear us out so that the fact of Il long
delay would make the Spaniards more
sanguine.
''Spanards are brave enough and per-
sistent enough to do just what they have
tried to do. namely, prolong the war.
"While my heart aches for the many
wounded of our splendid men. | would
