Admiral CoghIan's searchIight.
From the Kansas City Star.

DR.. Charles S. Elliott, a Kansas City
physician, returned yesterday from
Honduras, Central America, where,
with several other Kansas City men,
he has $4,000 acres in banana planta-
tions. He left San Pedro, thirty miles
in the interior, where the largest plan
tation is, Tuesday, Oct. "a. DR.. Ell
lott had been there nearly year and
went through the Honduras revolution
last spring. He says it is characteris-
tic of the people of all South American
and Central American republics to i'm
agine their country is a great internal
tional power.
They thrash each other" he said
yesterday land firmly believe they can
whip any nation on earth. The pres
ence of American warships off the coast
last spring had a very good effect.
When Rear Admiral Coghlan's fleet was
stationed at Puerto Cortes, he took A
most effective means of impressing the
natives. He trained the three big
searchlights of his flagship, the Olym-
pia, upon the town and played up and
down the coast with them. The re-.
Election of the light was visible far
into the interior. An American at Rio
Blanco, twenty-five miles in from
Puerto Cortes, said men and women
fell upon their knees in prayer for de-
liverance from the evil one. At Tela,
another coast town, Admiral Coghlan
repeated the maneuver. In the MORN
ing a delegation of the townspeople
was sent to ask him what their fate
would be. The Admiral told them to
behave and he would see that no harm
came to them"

OF THE CUBAN BILL
Senators Talk to the Exclusion of
other Business.

other business.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The major part
of the time of to-days executive ses-
sion of the Senate was devoted to a
discussion of the scope and character
of the agreement with reference to
the time for taking vote on the
Cuban reciprocity bill.
Some of the senators on the Demo-
cratic side objected when Senator
Lodge sought to have the Senate take
up the routine business, which HAD
been reported to the Senate, and the
objection brought out the fact that a
number construed the agreement to
vote upon the Cuban bill and to con-
slider it each day until voted upon as
exclusive of all other business until
that bill should be disposed of. Sem
ator Bacon advanced that idea and
was supported by some other senators,
but Senators Lodge Allison, Hale, Gull
lom and others antagoniZed this con-
struction.
1t developed during the discussion
that the Democrats had understood
Senator Aldrich to say the Cuban bill
was to be the only matter considered.
Senator Teller stated that an agreement
had been made with Senator Aldrich
and that the Democrats considered it
binding.
When it was made known that Sem
ator Aldrich had entered into an
agreement, the Republicans made no
further objection to the suspension of
all further business, except the merest
routine matter.

NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE
TO A CIVIL ENGINEER.

New York Telegram to the Pittsburg
Gazette.
1t takes power and engineering skill
to raise row of ten houses at one
operation and to throw them high
enough to build stores under them.
This is the undertaking begun to-day
in Harlem. Engineers and contractors
who are watching the job declare that
it is impossible, but the men bossing
the performance says they will get
the houses up in the way intended or
bust" To add to the remarkable
character of the whole affair all the
families in the houses continue to live
in them. The raising process will be
done only fraction of an inch at
time, and it is thought it will be ac-
complished without damage of any
kind. When the block has been put
up about fifteen feet on stills. stores
will be built under them, and the for
mer habitue of the neighborhood who
has been away for a few weeks will
not recognize the street when he comes
back. That is the promise of the con-
tractor and he is a square-jawed stur-
dy fellow who seems to understand
his business.

OPPOSES ISLE OF PINES
BECOMING CUBA'S.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania had conference
to-day with the President regarding
the treaty negotiated with Cuba by
which ownership of the Isle of Pines is
vested in Cuba.
Senator Penrose is opposed to the
ratification of the treaty, and will do
his utmost to defeat it. If that should
not be possible, he will seek to radical
ly amend it. Several American cap
italists, who have important financial
interests in the island, are contesting
the ratification of the treaty. They
made their investments in the expec-
tation that the island would continue
under the control of the United States.
They maintain they are being dis
eliminated against by the Cuban gov
eminent which, they say, has taxed
them almost beyond endurance.
