EXPOSITION RACES.
Buffalo Yachtsmen Making Prepare
tions For the July Regatta.

Chicago, Dec. ia proposition to
sail the Canada's cup races off Buffalo
at the time of the Pan-American expo
sition has been received from F. B.
Hover, commodore of the Buffalo Yacht
club.
The Buffalo yachtmen are already
making preparations on a large scale
for regatta the last week Of July. In
a letter to w. r. Crawford of this city,
who is president of the Lake Michigan
achtlnS association, and was chair
man of the Chicago Yacht clubs 1899
cup committee Commodore Hover
says:
''At a meeting of the yacht racing as
ISOLATION of Lake Ontario held in Buff
falo the Buffalo Yacht club extended
an invitation to the association to give
up for 1901 its annual regatta and at
tend the Pan-American regatta, agree
ing to give 81 600 for prizes The diff
ferent yacht clubs on Lake Ontario are
now voting on the proposition. The
Royal Canadian and the Royal Hamil-
ton yacht clubs have already agreed
and the others will surely consent. We
also have extended an invitation to the
Inter-lake Yachting association of Lake
Erie, and requested it to give up its an
nual Put-in-Bay regatta.
This invitation also is extended to
the Lake Michigan Yachting associa-
ton, and if you deem it necessary
will put it in a. formal shape.
why couldn't we have the Canada s
cup races here? What inducement
could we offer to bring it here? Speak
ing for the Buffalo Yacht club I am
sure the matter could be arranged sat
isfactorily''
Mr.. Crawford gave it as his opinion
that the Chicago Yacht club could not
be tempted to let the international race
go away from Chicago, but said he
would do all in his power to encourage
Lake Michigan yachtsmen to race their
boats in the Pan-American regatta at
Buffalo, setting the example as presi-
dent of the L. NJ. Y. A. by taking there
his celebrated fffty-footer Vanenna,
which won the championship at the
interlake regatta two years in success
sion, and which he says he intends to
put in commission again next season.

CUBAN FINANCES.
Senate Adopts Resolutions Call
ing For a Report.

Washington, Dec 19.-When the SEN
ate convened today some bills and reso-
buttons passed by the house were re-
ported Among them was a resolution
authorizing the president to appoint
Charles A Boutelle. of Maine, a cap
tain on the retired list of the navy.
Mr.. Boutelle for many years has been
a member of the house, and was re-
elected to the next congress. His Sc
rious illness for long time has been a
matter of national concern.
Mr.. Hale (Ade.) asked that the reso-
luton be taken up for immediate con-
sideration. No objection was made,
and tho resolution was passed without
a word of comment or debate.
On motion of Mr.. HOar (MaSS) the
house amendments to the bill relating
to taxes in Greer county, Texas, were
agreed to, thus passing the bill.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections, Of
fered a resolution to discharge the COM
mittee on contingent expenses from
further consideration of the resolution
authorizing the committee on privileges
and elections to send for persons and
papers in the investigation of the Mon
tana senatorial case His idea was to
get the original resolution before the
senate. Mr.. Jones (Ark.) objected, and
the resolution went over under the rule.
Mr. Bacon (Ga-) introduced and OBJ
tanned the passage of resolution call
ing upon the secretary of war to trans
INIT to the senate the report OF ADFauSIil
L. Iawshe, giving in detail the result
of his investigation made under the di-
rection of the war department into the
receipts and expenditures of the Cuban
funds"
Mr.. Jones (Ark) offered a resolution
directing the committee on foreign re-
lations to examine the claim of Henry
Mccoy and report whether the secretary
of state should be directed to pay the
sum of money claimed by him out of the
award in the hands of the state depart
ment in the matter of the Delagoa Bay
railway. The resolution was passed.
IN THE HOUSE
Washington, Dec. 19.-When the house
assembled at II O'Clock this morning in
pursuance of the recess taken last night
until that hour, it was still the legisla-
tive day of Tuesday. The purpose of
continuing the legislative day of yes
terday was to resume the consideration
of the bill to change the terminal facih-
ties of the Pennsylvania railroad in this
city against which a, determined fill
buster was inaugurated yesterday. Had
the house adjourned yesterday the time
set aside for the consideration of the
District of Columbia business would
have expired and the bill could not have
been again taken up until after the
holidays Today the opposition agreed
to abandon their dilatory tactics pro-
yided opportunity was offered for
amendment and reasonable discussion
With this understanding the considera-
ton of the bill was resumed.

pie is the only possible government I'M
der the American flag. Such are the
ideas for which General Harrison con-
tends with unanswerable arguments.
We carry not part but all ofour liberties
and all Of our political equality with Us.
Anything less would be Incompatible
with the doctrines upon which we pride
ourselves. If we deviate in any partic-
uIar, making distinctions between one
territory and another. we vitiate the
whole. We become sponsor for a gov
eminent over the people that is not of
and by them, for taxation without rep
resentation, for everything that we
have condemned as tyrannical. No soft
phrases about benevolence can conceal
the fact. THE man who has to rely
upon benevoIence for his laws is a
slave" Every section Of the bill of
rights may be outraged if the power
and right to govern arbitrarily for any
purpose is maintained
We believe that it, is possible to
govern the new territories like the old.
that this is not only possible but that
it is by far the best means to bring
about peace and contentment But if
there is to be any discrimination, any
exclusion, then it is better to let all the
islands go. As General Harrison init
mated, it is a mistake to reason that
the sound Of Dewey's guns in Manila
bay heralded a new mission for this
country. Rather did they herald the
same old mission sounded by the guns
of Washington" the grandest mission
Of which we are capable, the mission of
liberty and equality under the law.

NEW CRusOE FOUND DEAD.

Chas. Anderson's Terrible Experience on
nm Arctic Island.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 2.-On
Unimak island, which guards one Of
the entrances to Bering Sea, rude
mound Of earth and rocks mark the
last resting place Of Charles William
Anderson sailor, fisherman and hunt
er. No name is on the lonely grave,
and only two men know its. location.
The men were strangers to the dead.
Fate guided them to the hunters cab
in. They had been cast upon the is
land by adverse winds and picked up
by the schooner Edward Hayes when
well nigh starved In the little cabin
they had gazed upon the work Of star
walton, for on the bunk lay the skele-
ton Of Anderson. In the bunk by the
side of the whitening bones the men
found a journal. The sufferer rallied
against false friends who had promised
to go to his aid on the lonely island
when a certain time had elapsed. At
times he complained Of the injustice
of fate; at others he implored Gods
mercy. Thoughts OF suicide had come
to him in his helpless suffering, but
he drove them away as unworthy OF
a brave man and a Christian, and
waited calmly for the end
