SENATE DEMANDED INSTRUCTIONS
Given to Paris Peace Commissioners BY
President Mckinley.

President Mckinley.
A Washington special says: The
resolution introduced, Thursday, by
Mr.. Hoar calling upon the president,
II not in his judgment incompatible
with the public interest, to communi-
cate to the senate the instructions he
had given the commissioners who ne
gotiated the treaty of Paris, the cor
respondence which had passed be-
tween him and the department. of state
and the commissioners and the reports
made by the commissioners either to
him or to the department of state, was
laid before the senate early in the
session Friday.
Mr.. Davis, one of the commission
ers, and chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, moved that the reso-
luton be referred to that committee.
Mr.. Hoar: "Mr. President, I object
to such reference of the resolution.
1t seems to me that the senate ought
to have the information called for by
the resolution, if in the Judgment of
the president it would be proper to
communicate it. hope the motion
will be defeated"
Mr.. Davis: 81 hope the motion will
prevail"
After little debate in which Mr..
Hoar, Mr.. White, California, and Mr..
Allen, Nebraska, brought ont the fact
that the call on the president for infor-
nation was not mandatory, and Mr.. Da-
Wis said that not to refer the resolu-
tion to the committee in charge of the
matter would be unprecedented. The
latter invoked the rules of the senate
and had the doors closed for an execu-
tive session. ;
In the secret legislative session of
the senate the proceedings continued
on the same lines as in the open ses-
sion, the senate finally agreeing with
out division to the resolution calling
for the instructions.
At 1895 p the senate, reconvened
in open session, and Mr.. Platt, Con-
necticut, secured the adoption of a
resolution calling upon the secretary
OF. the interior for information con-
cerning the cutting of dead and fallen
timber on the Chippewa Indian reser-
vation in Minnesota.
Mr.. Gallery, Louisiana, then adj
dressed the senate on the Joint resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. West, Missouri,
declaring that under the constitution
of the United States no power is given
to acquire territory to be held and
governed permanently as colonies.
Mr.. Caffery's speech was a constitu-
tional argument in support of the dec
lnrations of the resolution. He de-
clared that the resolution went to the
very root Of the question of the power
of the United States to establish per-
maneutly governments in territories
far distant from our own lands. He
proposed, he SAIL, to institute an in
quiry into the bs!sic principles of the
powers of this government.

MEETING OF CUBAN GENERALS |
TO CONSIDER THE PRESENT POSI-.
TION OF THE CUBAN ARMY.
EX-GOY. EVANS MAYOR OF HAVANA
Lee's Army Camp Inspected-Generals
Wade, Butler and Clous Leave Is
land For tho United States.

A special from Havana says: Twen-
ty-five Cuban generals and chiefs met
at Mariana Saturday to consider the
position of the Cuban army.
A document was drawn up for dis
patch to General Rodriguez, asking
him to call general meeting of Off
GERS to take action first, upon the need
Of a sum of money to enable the Off
GERS and privates of the army to mako
a new start in life; and, secondly, with
regard to the lack of respect shown to
the Cuban officers by the people Of
Cuba and the Americans. The latter
matter has special reference to the re-
fusal of the municipal police to salute
General Sanguilly and other officers.
The meeting Saturday resulted in q
three hours talk, criticizing but not
unfriendly to the Americans, and no
disposition was shown to assume an
attitude of protest or opposition. On
the contrary, willingness to disband
was expressed, provided money was
forthcoming to give the men compos-
ing the Cuban army a new start. AS
one of those present put the case:
Gas the United States collects the
island revenues, we must look to the
ITnitcd St"+os,"
Surge. General Sternberg, of the
United States army, has inspected
Major Geral Lees camp and found 81
of the 10000 troops in the command
ill. There was, however, not n single
case of yellow fever or smallpox.
Major Gsneral Ludlow, military gov
ernor of the department of Havana,
has chosen John Gary Evans to sue
ceed the Marquis de Estaban, as mayor
of Havana.
Major General Brooke viii! shortly
direct the release of all political pris-
oners in the island.
Generals Wade and Butler sailed
Saturday on the steamer Mascot, and
General Clous left Saturday night or
the Concho for the United States.

A Chinese living near Shanghai Is
reported by the Sangapore Free Press
as saying concerning Europeans:
'They certainly do not know how to
amuse themselves. You never see
them enjoy themselves by sitting upon
their ancestors graves. They jump
around and kick balls as IL thev
were paid to do 1t. Again. you will
find them making long tramps into
the country: but that Is probably n
religious duty, for when they tramp
they wave sticks into the air, nobody
knows why. They have no sense of
dignity. for they may be found walk
ing with women. They even sit down
at the same table with women and the
latter are served first"

\ great deal of reticence is cXhib-
tied at the war department relative to
the state of affairs at Iloilo. 1t is adj
mitted that General Otis has reported
to the department the facts that were
reported to him by General Miller. but
all that can he gathered as to the nature
confirm the press dispatches rs to the

There are excellent reasons why the
officials at the war department should

Need of Covering During Sleep.

J. The reason that it is necessary to be
we'll covered while sleeping Is that
when the body lies down IT is the in
tention of nature that 1t should rest,
and the heart especially should be re-
ueved of its regular work temporarily.
80 that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body is In an
upright posture. This means 600
stokes in sixty minutes. Therefore, in
the eight hours that man usually
spends in taking his nights rest, the
heart Is saved nearly five thousand
strokes. As it pumps SIX ounces OF
hlaod with each stroke, It lifts 10000
10hces less Of blood in this nights SEES
zion than it would during the day,
when man is usually in. an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
tor its warmth on the vigor of the cir
culation, and as the blood flows so
Hlch more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra coverings EVEN

It acts as dye, and cotton goods soak

even when exposed to the sun. They
also acquire stiffness similar to that
