A friend Of mine, who enjoyed q far


famed reputation of whistling, was re-

dinner and evening parties. But he
would comply with the request only on
condition that he might turn his back
to the company His demand was ON
all occasions granted, whereupon he
would turn around and begin to whist

asked to favor his friends with a piece

in a large mirror before him, the coun-

were trying to restrain their mirth;-

WASHINGTON, Nav l0.-The Recon
struction committee debated the Senate
Georgia bill to-day, lat did not reach a
final result, though the feeling against
the Military bill of the Senate was
quite unanimous. A motion TO report a
bill admitting Georgia to representation
in Congress, unconditionallv and at
once, was lost, only one Republican
voting for it. Finally, it was proposed
TO adopt a bill reciting the present
status of Georgia, declaring her entitled
to representation in Congress, and re-
pealing the law which prohibits an or
ganization of the militia in the States of
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. The
question as to whether new Legisla-
ture Is to be elected next fall is LEFT an
open one. 1t is sthoughtthat some such
bill as this will be agreed on when the
committee meet.


| THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF BILL.


The President has declared against
the pending tariff bill. In conyersa-
tion with some members of the House
this morning he expressed the opinion
that the bill could not pass at this
session, and he thought it would bc best
to let the tariff remain As now in force,
and cut down taxation on the excise
law, a. proposed by the bill pending in
the Senate If Congress should follow
this advice of the President. it would at
once remove the tariff and new tax bills
from all further discussion, while re-
duction of internal taxation anda short
ening Of the session Of Congress would
follow. Unless The Ways and Means
| committee make better progress than
they did this morning on the ponderous
tax bill before them, both houses will
upset the protracted labor Of the com
mlttee.


FILIBUSTERING IN THE HOUSE.


The House, to-day, deported itself in
Il most shameful manner, and gave an
exhibition of what is possible to be done
by factious minority, to delay busi-
ness. The Northern Pacific railroad
bill came up from last Thursday as I'M
finished business, and took precedence
of everything. A fair majority is in
favor Of passing the bill, and this was
shown in vote on Thursday; but a
minority, composed Of Democrats and
Republicans, and numbering about
forty-two, combined to delay the vote as
long as possible Knowing that itmust
finally pass, a system of filibustering
and buccaneering began, which has
never been equaled in impudence and
persistency, and continued during the
entire day without result, and the bill
remains from day to day for the action
of the House, until disposed Of, nothing
heiug allowed To intervene

bottle, parties went to the spot, and an examina-
tion revealed the fact thatt had been thrown into
the road from a clump of thick underground,
to and from which the party who threw it had
walked on his heels SO as to leave no track
behind. Mr.. McFadden having been interro-
gated, declared that there was no bottle or
bundle in the road when he passed by, some
minutes before, consequently it was thrown
there by some one who was watching for Batly,
and who intended that he should find it and use
it as he did.


The oath of the party spoken of above was
then remembered, and it, along with various
other things, directed suspicion 10 him, and it
was determined to arrest him. When the Off
GERS went to look for him, however, he was
gone, and though diligent search has been made
no traces of him have as yet been found.

later. The wrath of heaven is sure 10 Overtake

ACARD FROM TIE CUBAN CoMMANDER-IN-C CHIEF


To the Editor of the ". Y. TJibune:-I beg
your attention to one phase of the apparently
impending European imbroglio over the Spanish
crown question.


If there be war, one of the first acts of France
will be to despatch q fleet to seize Havana an
easy matter with her immense naval resources


The United States having recently denied the
existence Of any actual war in Cuba for indepen-
dence, and from the highest official quarter having
belited the efforts and resources OF the patriots to
the grade OF an insignificant tumult, and moreover
in connection with events in that island having vr-
tualv abiured the "Monroe doctrine" surely in the
event of the seizure i predict they could not with
any grace or consistency object TO 1t the part OF
France as vital act OF war against Spain the only
party recognized by the United States as having po
liticsl or military existence in Cuba.


AS matters stand in che present attitude Of the
Cubans, the latter, of course, would be ready to
welcome and cooperate with the French, for their
absorbing motive and desire is to be rid OF Soanards
at all cost. Therefore, that which would soonest
effect the riddance they would be quick to embrace
especially since they can no longer look to the
United States, oficiaily except hostile to their
freedom from Spain.


For interference with this step by France, the
United States would have to set up the proposition
that they cannot tolerate the possession Of Cuba by
any European power except Spaln-a proposition
which would make this country the ally OF Spain
and justly array all Cubans eagerly the side OF
France power upon which they already have good
reasons to look with favor.


The United States may not honoraby seize Cuba
in the exigency OF war between Spain and France,
TO hold it-that is cannot take advantage of Spains
for Spain, and afterwards hand back million and a
half OF Americans to that notoriously cruel brutal
power, If 1t should continue power at the close OF
the coming war.


A sore complication is at hand In this connection
as sure as sunlight, unless some immediate and
practical step is taken TO avoid it. That step is
upon the path toward right and justice and will IN
Volve simply formal official declaration at once on
the part OF the United States Government that a
war exists IN Cuba with two parties-one SPAIN the
other the Cuban patriots. But the least delay Is
fraught with danger. Respectfully,

A Striking Movemcst In Congress-The Coal


and Iron Interests or Ponnsylvania In

simultaneously with accounts of striking
among the miners in the Pennsylvania coal
regions comes an elaborate speech delivered
in the Senate of the United States yesterday
by Senator Cameron in favor of the largest
protection to not only the coal, but to the iron,
railroad and manufacturing interests of the
Keystone State.


1t is not little singular that the movements
Of these Pennsylvania coal and iron monarchs

warn consumers that the vanguard of the
power that will abolish reasonable prices for

featuring business in which iron forms

by stealthy pathways to concentric points.
AT one time it appears in the shape
Of tumults In the coal regions caused
by the suspension of business. Such
suspension, based upon frivolous or
groundless pretexts, causes great suffering





among the miners, and the country, naturally
sympathetic, hopes that something will be
done for the relief of the destitute and suffer
ing. Then the tireless coal and iron monopo-
lists collect their forces, raise money by the
hundreds Of thousands, and, appealing to Con-
gress for protection for their interests, point
to the deplorable condition of the workmen
that such protection is absolutely required. II
is needless to say into whose pockets the
money thus raised finally goes. And by a
new reading of an old line members Of Con-
gress generally become


Medding with the duties on coal and iron.

strikes and distress among the miners in the
