Senator Cameron Admits That His
Resolution Is Moribund.

WEYLER’S BOLD DEFIANOB.

The Humane Captain General’Declares
He‘ \Vill PaclIy a Province if He Has
to Kill Every Elan, ‘anan and
Child In Order to Do It.

 

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 —It seems to be
understood in Washington that there will
be no action ' on the Cuban question by
congress or the state department during
the life of the Cleveland administration.
Senator Cameron has authorized the stat, -
ment that his resolution recognizing Cu-
ban independence is practically dead and
that he will make no attempt to revive it.

‘ Ho attributes the change of sentiment in

the senate not so much to lack of sympa-
thy for Cuba. as to the desire of senators to
acquiesce in the wish of the incoming
McKinley administration to allow the
question to go over for it to settle. The
change dates, Mr. Cameron and others be-
lieve, from the day that Senator Sherman
returned from Canton after accepting the
state portfolio and talking with tho presi-
dent elect as to his intentions with regard
to pending international questions.

Some of the more ardent friends of Cuba
in congress arc of the opinion that the.
question cannot be kept in abeyance while
waiting for Spain to offer terms of peace,
which the Cubans insist they will not 8.0-
ccpt.

Lauradn Is Under Suspicion.

BALTIMORE, Jan. Sit—It is believed in
shipping circles here that the steamship
Laurada has gone on another e edition
to Cuba. to land arms and ammunition for
the insurgents. The steamer left Gibraltar
on Dec. 31, ostensibly bound for Balti-
more. Under ordinary conditions she
would have made the voyage in 15 days.-
Twcnty-onc days have elapsed, and she has
not yet been sighted. This circumstance,
taken in connection with the fact that a.
coal barge is reported to have put into
N wport News the other day from Phila-
delphia. with a load of arms and ammuni-
tion, which is said to have been reshippcd
on a schooner in Hampton Roads, leads
to the opinion that the Laurada waited at
a. point outside the capes until the salmon
er came out, after which the cargo was
transferred to the steamer, which it is now
thought is on its way to Cuba.

\Veyler's Wild Threat.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 23.—Thc steamship
Olivettc has arrived from Key West, hav-
ing on board several passengers from Ha~
vana who said that General Woyler de-
clared, before leaving for the field, that he
would crush the insurrection in Havana
province this time if he had to v slay every
man, woman and child in the province. It
was rumored in Havana that a large expe-
dition had landed in Santa Clara Sunday
night. ‘

The Cubans here do not believe it, and
say no expedition was sent. Onc passenger
said that the town of Guanabacoa was de-
serted by the Cubans on account of the
cruelties of General Fondeviela; More than
100 pacificcs have been taken in and around
that town and subjected to tortures of the
most horrible character to compel their be-
trayal of the insurgent forces.

 

 

Preachers’ Sons Go to Cuba.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Henry H. Deming,
son of Dr. H. H. Deming of Hyde Park,
and Arthur Wallace, sen of Rev. Thomas
D. Wallace, pastor of the Eighth Presby-
terian church, are missing and are sup-
posed to have gone to Cuba. Young Wal-
lace formerly attended a Wisconsin mili-
tary school. The government at Washing-
ton has been requested to have its Cuban
agents make a. search for them.

CAMPAIGN OF THE NIGER.

The Army of tire Emir of Nupe Dispersed
\Vithou’t an Engagement. ,

BRASS, Guinea Coast, Jan. 23.—-News
has just been received here that the expe-
dition sent by the Royal Niger company
against the emir of Nupe from Lokojc
found the Foulah army dispersed and in
flight when it arrived at Kabba. The ex-
pedition consisted of 500 Haussa troops, 6
maxim rapid fire guns, 26 mounted Euro-
pean officers and 900 carriers. It was head-
ed by the governor, Sir George Goldie, and
was accompanied by the Royal Niger com-
pany’s flotilla. of armed stern wheeled
steamers. . .

The quarrel between the powerful cmir
of Nupe and the Niger company is an old
one and arose from..the emir’s raiding the
company’s territory for slaves. The Foulah
force at Kabba was estimated to number
20,000 foot and2,000 cavalry.

STARVING INDIA.

Rev. pr. Strong Gives Some Information
Regarding the Stricken District.
BOSTON, Jan. 23.——The Rev. E. E.
Strong, D. D., editorial secretary of the
American board, noticing that conflicting
accounts came in reference to the severity

* of the famine in India, says it must be re-

membered that the country is vast, and
the conditions vary in the different locali-
ties. The case is stated very well, he says,
in the following extract from the Decem-
ber number of The Harvest Field of My-
sore, India: .

“Every missionary in the affected dis-
tricts will need money to give additional
help to the badly paid teachers and other

agents of the mission, to relieve the wants ,

of the poorer Christians and to feed the
hungry generally. Famine funds have
been opened in several places,,and those
who can help the distressed should send to
the missionaries of their society funds for
the purpose.”

“ The situation is doubtless grave,” says
Dr. Strong, “and it is yet a question as to
the maturing of crops which the belated
rains have given an opportunity for sow-
ing. Three quarters of a million people

.are receiving direct relief from the govern-

ment, and the demands for aid are inces-
sant. The means of transportation are
very different now from what they wore'
in the famine of 1878, and the government
is using all possible efforts to supply food
stocks. We rejoice to see the proposal to
send a. shiplcad Of corn to Bombay from
New York and trust the plan will be car-
ried out. With the increase Of prices for
food, the people have all they can do, some-
times more than they, can do, tosupport
themselves, and they cannot maintain
their preachers and teachers. Some of
these Christian helpers' are receiving but
half of their usual allowance, while the
prices Of food have doubled or trebled.
The proper and Christian thing to do
would be for our missions to increase
these allowances, at least in some slight
degree. Instead of this the state of the
treasury has compelled a reduction for
precisely this class of laborers—the native
agency.” '

Tho appropriation made in December
last involved a reduction in the depart-
ment of the native agency of from 30 to 45
per cent. The missionaries’ salaries have
been reduced 10 per cent, and meanwhile
the cost of food has increased in some
cases 100 to 200 per cent.

Precautions Taken.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 28.—‘The government
has ordered the stoppage on Feb. 2 of all
pilgrim traffic from Bombay and Karachi
on account of the plague. There are now
over 1,750,000 persons employed on the
relief works and about 170,000 are receiv—
ing gratuitous relief. The principal in—
crease in the number of persons relieved is
in Bengal and on the northwest coast. '

To Protect New York. _

ALBANY, Jan. 23.—Dr. Doty, health Of—
ficer of the port Of New York, is afraid
that the bubonic plague will get into this
country at the harbor of New York. He
was here today to get an appropriation of
$6,000 for the better guarding of the port
and for extra precaution. _ .- ‘

' NANSEN’S CARRIER PIGEON.

It Carried Mrs. Nansen a Message of Love
from Near the Pole.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at

the window of Mrs. Nansen's home at

Christiania. Instantly the window'was
Opened, and the wife Of the famous
Arctic explorer in another moment cov-
ered the littlemessenger with kisses
and caresses. The carrier pigeon had
been away from the cottage thirty long
months, but it had not forgotten the
way home. It brought a note from
Nansen, stating that all was going well
with him and his expedition in the po-
lar regions. Nansen had fastened a
message to a carrier pigeon and turned
the bird loose. The frail courier
darted out into the blizzardly air. It
flew like an arrow over a thousand
miles Of frozen waste, and then sped
forward over another thousand miles
of ocean and plaihs and forests, and
one morning entered- the window of
the waiting mistress, and delivered the
message which she had been awaiting
so anxiously. \Vc boast of human
pluck, sagacity and endurance; but
this loving little carrier pigeon, in its
homewnrd flight, after an absence Of
thirty months, accomplished a frat so
wonderful that we can only give our-
selves up to amazement and admira-
tion which must overwhelm every one
when the marvelous story is told. Mrs.
Nansen‘s pigeon is one Of the wonders
Of the \VOI'III.“‘TII53 Churchman.

His Specially.

 

The favorite game played on strang-
QY'S iS the "mock light." Two of tho lo-
cal stockyard boys pretend to start a
quarrel before a farmer. One word
leads to another, and in the heat of the
excitement both the contestants draw
revolvers. This is about all the. aver-
age man who is not “on" euros to see
of the fracas, for by this time he is
about four blocks away. Yesterday nf~
tcrnoon the chief clerk in one of the
freight otiiccs was down in the yards,
when two fellows started a sham light.
This fight was so sudden and so realis-
tic that he lost; no time in leaving the
scene Of action. ll’c even took pains
to get over the fence and crawl on his
hands and knees behind a manger.
When the guns were shown to him‘and
found to have been cornccbs wrapped
with tinfoil for cylinders, he said he
was ready to buy out a' barroom. But:
like many others this game. was
worked once too Often. Two fellows,
both known around the yards, started
a sham fight before a stranger who
happened to be from Texas. Of course,
they didn’t know this. When the part
came where they drew guns the Texan
pulled an enormous 45 that looked like
a. Gatling gun on the would-be jokers
and said calmly:

“If that is any shootin‘ going: on I
want a hand in it myself, and if either
of yousc turns yer weepin this way I’ll
let mine loose. I’m from Ternntula
Creek myself, and I don’t get away
from no place where there‘s shootin’.”

It is needless to say it was the jokers
who did the “hot foot” this time, and
this joke hasn’t been played since.—

Floating Facts.

A Vermont newspaper congratulates
the people of the State that there was
less drunkenness during the late'ses-
sicn of the Legislature than usual.

An interesting relic Of early days has
been discovered at Augusta, 1a., it be-
ing the first stone burr for grinding
corn ever used in the State of Iowa.

The wives of Siamese noblemen cut
their hair so that it sticks up from
their heads. The average length Of it
is about an inch and a half.

The introduction of sugar in Eng-

land is often dated as late as the fit-
teenth century, but it was really in use
in that country in the. thirteenth cen—
tury.
' The work Of training carrier pigeons
at Portsmouth, i‘. II., for use in the
navy, will prove an interesting attrac-
tion for visitors at the navy yard dur-
ing the summer months.

In certain parts of China the young
women wear their hair in a long, sin-
gle plnit, with which is intertwined a
strand of bright scarlet thread, which

denotes them to be marriagcablc.

 

England’s Great. Cruiser.

The new British cruiser, the Power-
ful, well deserves her name. She is
the largest and most formidable cruis-
er in the world. The figures repre-
senting her dimensions, equipment and
ability are really startling. Her length,
for example, is 538 feet, her breadth
71 feet. her draught 27 feet. and her
displacement 14,200 tons. Those di-
mensions are surpassed, indeed
equalled, by only a few of the great
merchant steamers. How they com~
pare. or contrast with those of our own
best cruisers may be seen from the fact
that the Brooklyn’s length is only
400.5 feet. breadth 04.68 feet,
draught: 24 feet, and displacement 9,-
271 tons. The Powerful has a protec-
tive deck of six inches Of solid steel,
and contains no less than 100 steam
engines in different parts of her vast
hull. Her guns will throw nearly eight
tons of projectiles a. minute. at the
velocity ever attained. of
which two and a half tons may be
tln‘tm'n straight ahead and two and a
half tons straight astern.—New York
Tribune.

HUNTING WITH A" MIRROR.

Effect of Reflected Light Upon Birds
Rabbits in the “'oods.

A taxidermist at Northwood, N. Y.,
has been making experiments as to the
effects of light reflected in a bird’s
eyes. A glue seven or eight inches in
diameter has been found most service-
able. The antics of blue jays are re-
markable when the light strikes them
as they sit in the shadow of an ever-
green tree. They jump to another
branch and try to look into the light,
but they have to run away, as the light
dazzles them. Then they fly around
the reflector but after practice one is
able to keep the light always on them,
and the birds not infrequently come
within reach of a man’s hand.

A ruflied grouse gives a startled look
when the light strikes it. Then it
jumps, and away it goes. Hawks, too,
are usually startled or annoyed so that
they fly off. Woodpeckers don’t seem
to mind it at all.

Rabbits blink and stare at a glass
for a while, then go around a stump,
and sit up again, as if waiting for the
light to play tag with them—New
York Sun.

A Patient’s Confidence.

“When I was a student in Philadel-
phia.” says an American doctor, “I had
.1 patient, an Irishman, with a broken
leg. When the plaster bandage was re-
moved and a lighter one put in its
place, I noticed that one of the pins
went in with great difficulty, and I
could not understand it. A week af—
terwards, in removing this pin, I
found it had stuck hard fast, and I
was forced to remove it with the for-
ceps. What was my astonishment on
making an examination to find that the
pin had been run through the skin
twice instead of through the cloth.
‘Why, Pat,’ said I, ‘didn’t you know
that pin was sticking in you?” ‘To be
sure I did,’ replied Pat; ‘but I thought

and

 

 

you knowed your business, so I hilt me~

tongue.’ ” ‘

Shoe on the Other Foot.

It is said that while Rudyard Kips
ling was in England he became very
partial to Miss Dorothy Drew, Mr.
Gladstone’s grand-daughter. He met
her at a country house, and, being very
fond Of children, took her about the
grounds and told her stories. After a
time, Mrs. Drew, fearing that Mr.
Kipling must have had enough of the
child’s society, called her, and said,
mNow, Dorothy, I hope you have been
a. good child and have not been weary-
ing Mr. Kipling.” “Oh, not a bit,
mother,” replied the little girl: “but
you‘ve no idea how Mr. Kipling. has
been wearying me!”

Abstemious Carrier li‘lgeons.

The carrier pigeon, when traveling
never feeds. If the distance be long,
it flies on without stopping to take nu-
triment, and at last arrives thin, ex.
hauste’d, almost dying. If corn be pre.
sented to it, it refuses, contenting it-
Self with drinking a little water, and
then sleeping. Two hours later, it be-
gins to eat with great moderation, and
sleeps again immediately afterwards
If its flight has been prolonged, the
pigeon will proceed in this manner f0]
forty-eight hours before recovering its
normal mode Of feeding.

Changed its Course.

The Ilcang-ho, or Yellow River, one
Of the principal rivers‘ of China, is
more than 2,000 miles in length. This
river is said to have changed its course
as many as twenty-two times in the
course Of the present century, and its
mouth is now three hundred miles dis-
tant from its position a hundred years
ago. Each change causes great devas-
tation, and has earned the river the ti-
tle Of “China’s Sorrow.” Its last great
inundation'in 1887 was credited With
destroying millions of lives. An In
dian river, the Brahmapootra, has
changed its course more than Once,
