ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
Senator Elkins Delivered an Earnest Speech
on the Question.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, June 30.-In the Senate
today Mr.. Elkin, of West Virginia de-
liyered an earnest speech in favor of the
annexation OF Cuba, maintaining that it
would be in the best interests of both
countries. Mr.. Elkins' remarks drew a
sharp fire from Mr.. Platt. of Connecti-
cut, and Mr.. Hanna, OF Ohio, who de-
precated any annexation proposition at
| this time. and urged that the United
States ought to be sensible of its obliga-
| tion to the civilized world, if not to
Cuba. After a lively colloquy in which
General Wood was criticised, by infer
ence. for using funds to advance the reci-
procity propaganda, MIR. Elkins' resolu-
tion for annexation was referred to the
Cuban Relations Committee.
During the discussion Mr.. Elkins de-
clared he could find no obligation which
the United States owed Cuba.
1--WE do stand indebted to Cuba" inter
jeeted Mr. Bailey (Texasl, at least to the
extent of the money expended by General
Wood for the advancement of the Cuban
reciprocity propaganda and to influence
leaders of thought in this country.
Mr. Bacon fGeorgia) inquired of Mr..
Elkins what his opinion was of General

Elkins, II might have felt justified to
spend the money"
dopt believe" interrupted Mr..
Bailey. <hat the Senator from West
Virginia would have expended the
money. It is impossible t. find words
strong enough to condemn a man who
would take money even of his owa gov
ernment for such a purpose"
Mr.. Lodge Massachusetts,, chairman
of the Committee on Philippines, called
up the conference report on the Philip-
pine Government Bill. ard at his instance
it was ordered printed. He gave notice
tkat he would call it up tomorrow.

Case Dismissed.

Republican state officials are ably
demonstrating that the reform" brand
of Republicsnism is no better than the
old machine" kind, which made no pre-
tense of superior honesty. Yesterday.
says Des Moines despatch, another
turn was given to the machinery of the
new political machine which is now
preparing for unlimited lease of power
after turning the other rascals out. The
supreme court dismissed the appeal case
against Mcfarland, the notorious ex-
secretary of state, who worked neat
graft on the state for several thousand
dollars while he was taking the Iowa
census Of 1885. The state obtained
Judgment against Mcfarland in the
lower court. Appeal was taken and
the case dragged along for years with
out any arguments being made. Yester-
day the case was stricken from the
docket. 1t has been published here in
the Republican papers that strong
political pressure was being brought to
bear to have the matter ended without

A DARING WORKMAN.
His Crazy Antics on an Unfinished

His Crazy Antics on an Unfinished
Bridge Across the Niagara.
II remember" said bridge con-
tractor some time ago while ON the
subject of workmen's daredeviltries,
when working at the big bridge
across the Niagara when the two can
talever arms had approached within
fifty feet of each other a keen rivalry
as to who should be the first to cross
sprang up among the men. A long
plank connected the two arms, leaving
about two and half feet of support
at each end. Strict orders were issued
that no one should attempt to cross the
plank upon penalty of instant dis
missal.
AT the noon hour suddenly heard
great shout from the men, who were
all starting up. Raising my eyes,
saw n man step on the end of that
plank, stop minute and look down
into the whirlpool below. l knew he
was going to cross, and shouted to
him, but he was too high up to hear
Deliberately he walked out until he
reached the middle of the plank. 1t
sagged far down with his weight until
l could see light between the two short
supporting ends and the cantilevers on
which they rested. He saw the end in
front of him do this, hesitated and
locked back to see how the other end
was.
II thought he was going to turn. He
stopped, grasped both edges of the
plank with his hands and, throwing
his feet up, stood on his head. kicking
his legs in the air, cracking his heels
together and yelling to the terrified on
lockers. This he did for about min
ute. 1t seemed to me like forty. Then
he let his feet drop down. stood up,
waved his hat and trotted along the
plank to the other side and regained
the ground.
Eve discharged him. Of course, but
what did he care? He got all the glo-
ry, his fellows envied him, and he
could command work anywhere."-

Great Orators.


Great orators, says the Philsdelphis
Saturday Evening Post, have generally
refused, to speak on the spur of the
moment on important themes: Dem
osthenes, the king of orators, would
never speak in public meeting without
previous thorough preparation. DAN
lei Webster, when once pressed to speak
on subject of great Importance, re-
fused, saying that he was very busy,
and had no time to master it. When y
friend urged that q few words from
him would do much to awaken public
attention to the subject, he replied. "If
there be so much weight In my words
1t is because 1 do not allow myself to
speak on any subject until my mind is
imbued with It," On one occasion
Webster made remarkable speech
without notes before the Phi Beta Kap-
pa society at Harvard university, when
q book was presented to him. After
he had gone q manuscript copy of his
eloquent "impromtu" address, carefully
written, was found in the book, which
he had forgotten to take away.

In planting the orchard care should
be taken to allow each tree plenty Of
room.
A layer of charcoal in the bottom of
flower bed is very beneficial in keep
ing the soil fresh.
In plowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous
roots.
The life of an apple tree is often
shortened because it grows in a poor.
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained.
When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots Of the strawberry often
reach out five feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not be
set too thickly.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will cause
the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for
plowing may yet be sufficiently fertile
to grow fruit trees and is better than
land that has been exhausted by crop
ping.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Supply plenty of gravel to fowls that
are being fattened in confinement.
Chickens should never be allowed to
go on the roosts until ten or twelve
weeks old.
Lime is a purifier and should be used
as wash on the coops. perches and
nest boxes.
If hen lays soft shelled eggs, give
her plenty of gravel, oyster shells and
crushed bone.
Ducks should be allowed as much
liberty as possible. They are not par
tfal to confinement
Flat eggs, eggs within eggs, double
yolked eggs and other unnatural for
nations are Cue to the hens being over
fat.
Geese may be fattened on any kind
of grain if fed all that they will eat for
about ten days before sending them to
market. Corn, peas and barley are
best.
Young chicks of fancy breeding
should not be permitted to roost on
perches until after they are eight
months old, as it often causes crooked
breast bones.
Accumulating filth is prolific source
of disease, especially gapes. After the
poultry yard is cleaned up sprinkle 1t
well with diluted carbolic acid and
little coppefas.
