Mr. Turpick Speech ln Behalf of Cu-
ban Independence. ‘
CONGRESS’ POWER DEFINED.
Two-thirds, He Declares, ‘May Direct the
Policy of the Government — Mor- I
gun, the Nicaragua Canal and
the Arbitration Treaty.
\VASHINGTO)7, Jan. 26.———A superb floral
tribute of roses and lilies was on the desk
of Senator Jones of Arkansas in the senate
today in recognition of his recent re-elec-
tion to the senate. Cardinal Gibbons, ac-
companied by M. Jules Bouve of ‘the
French embassy, occupied a. seat in the
diplomatic gallery when the session open-
ed. The cardinal wore his Skullcap, or
berretta, of scarlet, and his black habit was
edged with the scarlet emblematic of his
office.
A sequel to the recent political troubles
in Delaware was presented by Mr. Bur-
rows (Rep., Mich.) in the form of an ap-
peal by the presidential electors of that
state, Messrs. Shaw, Wilson and Fookes,
for a congressional investigation of irreg-
ularities set forth by them. The appeal
states that by illegal and fraudulent meth-
votes in favor of the union Republican
ticket was changed into a false and appar-
ent Democratic majority of about 200.
This, the appeal declares, is subversive of
republican institutions, and the three
electors most earnestly request congress to
“fully and fairly investigate the premises
and take appropriate action therein.”
Another document presented by Mr.
Burrows was signed by Speaker Henley of
the senate and Speaker Moore of the house
and one of the bodies claiming to be the
legislature of Delaware.
Its allegations were of a sensational
character, to the effect that legislators
chosen by the people “are evicted from the
state capitol and the powers of government
usurped by a corrupt oligarchy,” with
leaders who curse the law and defeat the
courts, using “violent, profane and ob-
scene language to direct partisan mobs."
The military academy bill was consid-
ered briefly,. ‘Mr. Thurston (Rep, Neb.)
urging that the West Point cadets should
be permitted to attend the inaugural cere-
monies. The bill was laid aside to "allow
Mr. Turpie (Dem., Ind.) to speak on the
Cameron resolution for the recognition of
the Cuban republic.
Turpie on Cuba.
Mr. Turpie began his remarks by declar-
ing that Cuba was at one time a part of
the country now known as the United
States, but in an earthquake or eruption
of some sort it became dismembered.
He cited the historic facts as to the pos-
session of Cuba by Spain.
“The institution of a new form of gov-
ernment for Cuba,” he said, “is the only
way for securing to, that island a liberal
form of government. During the wars in
Central and South America the people of
Cuba remained true to the mother coun-
try, Spain. So faithful were the Cubans
that they gained the sobriquet of ‘the
faithful.’ They had been loyal to Spain,
and Spain should now be loyal to them.
“ The only way the people of Cuba could
obtain redress for their grievances was to
resort to arms. Not since 1850 have there
been ten years of peace in Cuba. They
would not submit to the tyranny practiced
upon them, and their only hope was a re-
sort to arms. The war now pending is a.
mere continuation of the war commenced
in 1868. -
“What shall be the attitude of the United
States? Congress should be the supreme
department of the government. It is first
in order, first in right, first in importance.
The executive and the judicial follow sec-
ond. ”
The senator then referred to the consti-
tution and other authorities to prove his
contention.
He took the ground that the power of
congress to make and impose all laws was
supreme. This was an attack upon Secre-
tary Olney’s challenge of the power of the
senate over the executive in the matter of
recognizing a republic. The legislative
body can compel the executive, he said, to
enforce the letter of the law. He argued
at length that the legislature is the su-
preme branch of the government, and that
if the president were to veto the Cuban
resolution the veto would‘be null and void.
“What congress desires must be accom-
plished,” he said. “ Two-thirds of congress
can make and see to the enforcement of all
laws. Its laws cannot be defeated by the
executive or the judicial branches.”
The Arbitration Treaty.
WASHINGTON, J an. 2 .—The senate com-
mittee on foreign relations today had the
arbitration treaty under discussion, but
the discussion was almost wholly upon its
bearing on the Nicaragua canal. The com~
mittee had read the Clayton-Bulwer treaty;
also all treaties and agreements between
the United States and Nicaragua and Cos-
ta. Rica relating to the canal. The letter
of Minister Rodriguez presented to the
senate on Friday, in which the Nicaraguan
government protested against the present
canal bill before the senate, formed the
basis of discussion. This led to talk of
what the real situation was in regard to
that concession and canal, the rights of
the Maritime Canal company, as well as
the rights of the United States. Several
senators seemed to be of opinion that the
Nicaragua canal might be seriously affect-
ed by the treaty, and the determination of
the committee seemed to be to go to the
bottom of the question before taking up
other portions of the treaty. Senator Mor-
gan took an active part in the discussion,
and being chairman of the Nicaragua
canal committee and in charge of the bill
before the senate his views were presented
.at some length and with Inuch earnest-
ness: The Alabama. senator insisted that
the canal situation must be settled before
the treaty could be ratified.

BIMBTALLISM’ IN ENGLAND.
Reply of the Government Leader In the
House of Commons.
LONDON, J an. 26. —The presence of Unit-
ed States Scnator Edward O. Wolcott in
Europe in the interests of bimetallism has
stirred up considerable interest among
members of the house of commons as to
the possible action of the British govern-
ment. Certain members are desirous that
the government should make an official
statement on the subject, and for this pur-
pose William Field, representing the St.
Patrick’s division of Dublin, chairman of
the Dublin county» council, president of
the Irish Cattle Traders and Stock Owners’
association and president of the National
Federation of Meat Traders, etc, prepared
the following to present to the govern-
ment leader, A. J. Balfour, first lord of
the treasury: ~
“Whether the government intends to co-
operate in any movement that may be
made to hold a. monetary international
conference at an early date; whether in
such event it will be arranged that a. fair
share of the representatives will be bimet-
allists.”
The first lord of the treasury and govern-
ment leader, Mr. A. J. Balfour, replying
"was no probability of the government in-
itiating such a movement as the calling of
‘an international monetary conference. He
added that it would be premature to dis-
cuss the composition of a conference which,
so far as he (Mr. Balfour) knew, had not
been proposed.
MR. CLEVELAND’S FUTURE.
A Boom For the President as New Jer-
sey’s Next. Executive.
HACKENSACK, N. J ., Jan. 26.——Former
State Senator Henry D. Winton of this
place thinks that President Cleveland
stands an excellent chance of being New
Jersey’s next governor. Senator Winton
was conspicuous in the recent campaign
in New Jersey as an early gold man and
the chairman of the state committee of the
gold wing of the Democracy. He is the
editor of The Bergen County Democrat,
and in launching Cleveland’s gubernato-
rial boom he says:
“President Cleveland’s residence in
Princeton will be ready for occupancy on
March 6, when the president and family
expect to take possession of it. The De-
mocracy of Bergen county are getting
ready to give him a. warm welcome. If
Mr. Cleveland is not the next governor of
New Jersey, it will be because the Demo-
cratic party is short of votes. ”
Senator Winton thinks the Democratic
party in New Jersey should be reorganized
on the lines laid down by his sound money
state committee, and that with Cleveland
as their standard bearer they could bring
New Jersey back to her Democratic moor-
ings. \
Russian Artillery Rearmament.
LONDON, Jan. 26.——A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to The Times, with reference
to the rumor that Russia will spend 100,-
000,000 rubles in rearming the artillery
with the French quick firing gun, says,
“The report requires confirmation; but,
although the powerful M. de Witte, the
opposition would be of little avail against
the minister of war, General Vannovsky. ”

THE OHIO FIGHT.
Fix-Governor Foster a Candidate For the
Senate Against Mark Hanna.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 25.—Ex-Governcr
Charles Foster has come out as an avowed
candidate for the United States senate. He
said today:
“If Governor Bushnell should turn his
eyes tOWard me as the person to fill the va-
cancy for the next two years, I cannot
deny that it would be exceedingly gratify-
' 5 ’
Mr. Foster has no desire fona long term,
he says, and should not be a candidate for
reelection.
Hanna’s chief, Colonel Dick, is confi-
dent of Hanna’s success and says the op-
position is largely talk.
Senator Sherman has written Governor
Bushnell announcing his acceptance of the
state department portfolio and his' inten-
' tion to resign the senatorship and urging
the governor to appoint Mr. Hanna to the
vacancy. Every Republican member of
the Ohio congressional delegation has also
written to Governor Bushnell urging him
to appoint Mr. Hanna.
Judge W. B. Day visited Governor Bush-
nell yesterday and laid before him the per-
sonal request of President McKinley that
he appoint Mark Hanna senator. Judge
Day is mild of manner and gentle of
speech, so that a message conveyed by him,
would not be construed as a command or
a threat.

PARIS, Jan. Stir—A singular lawsuit bé~
tween the rival pretenders to the throne of
France has just been heard before the civil
tribunal. -
The Duke of Anjou is suing the Duke of
Orleans for using the royal arms of France
on the ground that the Duke of Anjou
is the rightful heir to the throne, as he is
the descendant of Louis XIV. Counsel for
the Duke of Anjou has asked that the
Duke of Orleans be compelled to pay the
sum of 1,000 francs “for each. day he, 90n-
tinues to use the royal arms 9f France.

thé pggcgion of the suit, declaring it was
curious to 'Iiiid it}? plaintiff asking a. re-
publican Cough to c nfer upon him thetitle'
of king of rhnce.

arms of France. .
The case was finally adjourned, and
judgment will be rendered this week.

like office for Daniel Bond, another cadet
who was in a. predicament like young Lee
owing to deficiency in studies.

ALBANY, . an. 25,—A matter of much
interest to all saloon keepers and immedi-
ately affecting the brewers’ interests has

tion capable of assignment and agrees in
this respect with Justice Hiscock of Syra-
cu'se, who, in the matter of J enney, receiv-
er, in general term, decided that asassign-
ment of a liquor tax certificate to one who
advances money for the; purchase of the
certificate is prior to the claim of the judg-
ment creditor.

A FARM FOR EX-CONVICTS.
A Salvation Army Scheme of Reform
“’hlch Appears Practicable.
In the San Benson Valley, California,
a Salvation Army farm for convicts
has been put into operation. This in-
stitution is the only one of its kind in
existence. It opens up to the released
convict a channel whereby, outside of
city influences and surrounded by
every inducement to reform, he may
escape from the fate of a confirmed
jailbird and become an honest mem‘
ber of the community.
By persistent labor since the farm
was deeded to them by George S.
Montgomery, the Salvationists have
been able to gather together material
enough with which to stack it. Sev-
eralflhoyhes, a, large quantity of seed
wheat and oats, wagons and a number
01? farming implements have all been
placed on the farm within the last few
weeks, and nothing remained to be
done but to dedicate the place and be-
gin the work of collecting the ex-con§
victs to. take charge of it.
It will be entirely self-supporting,
producing all it consumes. Each man’s
account will be kept. He «will be
credited with the value of his labor,
and his supplies will be given to him
at the lowest possible price. An at.
tempt will be made to have nearly all
the industries represented. The men
who have ggne into prisonfind come
,.-out without any skilled ability of any I
kind will receive a training in some
trade, according to their bent. They
will leave the home good blacksmiths,
orchardists, fruit growers, etc. The
Salvation Army proceeds on the prin‘
ciple of helping those who help them‘
selves, giving doles only in cases re-
quiring urgent temporary relief.
The life at the farm will be like that
of a family. The men will be sur‘
rounded with the best influences.
There will be two officers of the army
in charge, one to attend to the material
wants of the members, the other to the
spiritual.
The Salvation Army does not drop
its work in the middle. When the men
have thoroughly re-established their
character, every eflort will be made to
secure employment for them. The
army deputies are'in every part of the
State, on the lookout for chances of
employment and they are in touch
with Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
a position is secured for one of these
men the employer is told the whole
story, but no one else, and the Salvasii
tion Army holds itself responsible for
them. An effort is usually made to
place the men in localities somewhat,
if not entirely, removed from the scene
of their disgrace—San Francisco
Chronicle.
TWO BOYS AND A WILO OAT.
They Were Looking for 'Possum, but Got
the Out After a Hot Fight.
Two boys in Kentucky had a serious
time ’possum hunting recently near
Kenton Furnace. John and William
Anderson, 15 and 17 years old, went
out with their dog after oppossums.
when the dogs treed what was sup-
posed to be an oppossum. By the dim
light of the lantern the boyscould see
the animal in the tree, and William at
once proceeded to climb it to shake
the game down to the dogs. When he
came near the animal it made a sav-
age spring toward him and he lost his
hold and fell with the animal to the
ground. The animal proved to be a
large wildcat, and it quickly killed both
dogs and then jumped on William, who
was lying on the ground with a broken
arm and n wrenched leg. The young-
er of the boys drew his bar-low knife,
his only weapon, and tackled the cat,
which left his brother and came at
him. After a hard fight the boy .came
out victor, but he was badly scratched
and his clothes were almost entirely
gone. The boys got back to their home,
but both will be laid up for some time.
The wildcat measured over three feet,
and is the first one seen in this county
for some time.——New York Sun.
How Hog Back Changed Its Name.
“Until a few years ago a little Wir-
conSin hamlet was known simply as
"Hog Back',’ from the peculiar shape"
of a hill near there,” said a Milwau-
kee drummer. “Finally the citizens
held an indignation meeting to wipe
out the plebeian name and choose ,a
better one. '
“It was decided to honor the place
by giving it the name of the oldest set.-
tler, a man named King. Somebody
suggested ‘King’s Mills,’ and another
‘Kingsville,’ and so 'on, but the old
man himself objected. Then it was
agreed to name the town for one of
Mr. King’s daughters. But he had
seven of them, and jealousies prompt-
ly cropped out. At last, some genius
noted that all the girls were red-head-
ed, and suggested ‘Auburndale.’ And
Auburndale it is to this day.”——Chi-

MOLASSES GOING OUT.
How it Makes White Sugar Simulate the
the Dark Brown.
The old-fashioned molasses. is rapid-
ly disappearing as an article of com—
merce, and in ‘its place have come a
number of syrups, which are more,
costly and by no means as satisfactory.
Most of the molasses goes into the dis-
tilleries, where it is made into rum,
for which, notwithstanding the efforts
of our temperance workers, the de-
mand is constantly on the increase, es-
pecially in the New England States
and for the exportttrade. The darker
brown sugars have; also disappeared,
and they are never likely to return, own
ing to the methods of boiling and the
manufacture. '
Housekeepers have difliculty ’ these
days in finding coarse, dark sugars,
which are always preferred for use in,
putting up sweet pickles, making cakes
and similar uses. As they cannot get
brown sugar any more, it may be well
for them to remember that they can
simulate brown. sugar by adding a tea:
spoonful of molasses to each. (1113111912
or a pound of the white granulated s11:
gar. This combination does as well {If
all household receipts, that call for
brown sugar as the article itself, and
besides it saves them a great deal of
hunting for brown sugar, which, as
