Cuban Bill Takes Up the Time of the
Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. -. - There
were two speeches in the senate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill. one of them by Il
Democrat I'm support of the bill and the
other by Republican in opposition.
The opposing speech was made by
Mr.. Bard (CalD who contended that
the United States was under no obliga-
ton to give further aid TO Cuba and es.
pecially when to do so we must pursue
course injurious to our own indus
tries.
Mr.. McCrearv cNy,l made his. maiden
speech i'm the 60 te and supported the
bill because our past ~magnanimous
course toward Cuba he believed to be Il
step toward tariff reform. He said that
the protective policy of the United
States already had brought about re-
taliation by Germany, and he predicted
that other European nations, possibly
including Great Britain. soon would
follow the example set by that country.

thereupon claimed that cum from the
bridegroom's companions, who were
equally liable. They admitted the
justice Of his claim and called upon
Bokayeff to hand over the sum to them.
On his refusal they shot him dead,
that being the custom Of the country,
although daggers were also allowed
to take the place Of bullets. The three
youths were forthwith arrested and
will, of course, be tried and deported
in due course. But that, far from be
ing the end of the matter, is only the
very beginning. The kindred of the
slain man are now preparing to wipe

A homeless horse in Paris the other
day ate up several hundred francs
worth of new hats. 1t seems that a
halter of the Boulevard de Belleville
adorned his premises with Panama
hats He left the shop for little
while, and when he returned found
horse busily eating away and SEEM
ingly enjoying these creations in
straw. The Panamas had already dis
appeared down his throat.
The coyote has small chance for life
in the territories. 1t is hunted upon
all occasions and by devious and sum
dry methods. AS the cowboy careers
along the plains he pops at it with his
six-shooter. The wise ranchman has a
shotgun or rifle hanging in a convent
ent place awaiting the appearance of a
coyote near the ranchhouse. The hunt
er of more choice game never misses
a shot at coyote, while there are pro-
fessionals who do little else but pur-
sue it from one years end to another.
Besides, there are organized hunts in
augurated in settled communities for
both pleasure and profit, when q large
scope Of the country is swept clean,
and the coyotes falling into the meshes
Of the hunt are dispatched and their
skins tanned for rugs and door-mats.
