Debate Tinged With Repartee In Our
Upper Nationah Body.
CAUSE, WEST POINT CADETS.
£1 Proposition That Our Future Generals
Should Attend the Inauguration
Successfully Opposed by Mr.
Airen‘or Nebraska]. _
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. —In the senate to-
’ iay Mr. Fr‘yc (Rep, Me.) occupied the
chair in the absence of the vice president.
Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) presented'a
memorial signed by ex-Scnator Higgins
and others of Delaware, asking that the
Du Pont case involving the seat in the sen-
ate formerly held by Mr. Higgins be re-
opened.
Thc Militz try academy appropriation bill
was taken up. Mr. Chandler endeavored
to have the bill laid aside in order to pro-
ceed with the measure for an international
monetary conference, but Mr. Pettigrew of
South Dakota objected, whereupon Mr.
Chandler announced that the monetary
conference bill would be urged later, and
to a conclusion, he hoped.
A long discussion followed on the pro-
posed amendment to the Vi est Point appro-
priation providing that the cadets shall at-
tend the inauguration ceremony
Mr. Proctor (Rep. , Vt. ) argued that the
law should be made permanent for the at-
tendance of the cadets at inaugurals.
Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) opposed the plan,
saying the visit would not be in line 11 ith
military education.
“I understand,” interrupted Mr. Allen
(Pop, Nob. ) “that the senator from Dela-
ware [Gray] gave his great influence to
electing a Republican president, and Why
should he Object now to bringing these
young gentlemen to see the consummation
of that event?”
Mr. Gray said he would discuss this on
a proper occasion, but it had no relation to
the present question. '
Continuing, Mr. Allen said the proposed
visit of cadets was designed simply as a
“tinsel and display. ” It was another step
in the vulgar display of wealth and osten-
tation. We were gradually bowing down
to a crown.
“A crown of thorns?” intcr‘jcctcd Mr.
Chandler dcr‘isively.
Yes, we have the crown of thorns al-
ready, ” answered Mr. Allen.
Gray’s Sarcasm.
T he Nebraska senator went on to say
that he would be glad to see 0st entatious
inaugurals give way to the simplicity of
J efi'erson s time. V
“Why not have the. president ride to the
White House on a street car?” asked Mr.
Gray sarcastically.
“Yes, on a street car—on horseback,”
proceeded Mr. Allen.
Mr. Stewart (Pop, Nev.) came in at
this point with an inquiry as to whether
Mr. Allen did not like the triumphal en-
trance of the Roman emperors and the
gorgeous coronation of the czar.
“DO you refer to that ceremony in which
our American embassador‘ wore knee trou-
sers?” asked Mr. Allen. He went on to say
that our embassador wore knickcr‘bockcrs.
“Merely a. bicycle suit, ” intcr‘jccted Mr.
Gray sott-o voce amid laughter.
Mr. Allen turned his attention to Mr.
Gray’ 5 political affiiiat-ions. “The senator
(Gray) is to all intents and pur poses a Re-
publican,” declared Mr. Allen. “To be
sure, he attends Democratic caucuses, but
names amount to nothing. ”
Mr. Allen said there were other senators
on the Democratic side who were properly
classed as Republicans.
Mr. Gray responded briefly. saying Mr.
Allen had exhibited merely the ravages
wrought on a mind by Populist notions.
“The remarks of Mr. Allen are about as
pertinent to the question,” declared Mr.
Gray, “as a proposition to bring Coxey’ s
army to the inauguration. Perhaps the
Nebraska senator would vote to- bring
Coxey’s army to Washington on March 4. ”
A lively debate, which became general,
resulted, and when a vote was reached it
was seen that Mr. Allen’s view had pre-
vailed, the senate rejecting, by a vote of 20
to 28, the proposition to have the West
Point cadets at the inauguration of Major
McKinley.
The Treaty In Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.——The committee
on foreign relations inet today, and the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty was
discussed. The members of the committee
were exceptionally reticent as to what was
done today. Senator Lodge said that sev-
eral amendments were suggested, but they
were not acted upon. Upon the sugges-
tion of one of the members the amend-
ments were ordered printed, to be ready
for the next meeting. A special session of
the committee will be held on Saturday,
at which time the treaty will again be dis-
cussed. Senator Gray (Del. ), a member or
the committee, said just after adjourn
ment that the committee is making prog-
ress with the treaty. Senators Lodge and
Daniel, two other members of the commit-
tee, thought likewise. The general drift
of the discussion indicated that the instru'
ment must be amended so as to eliminate
any possible inclusion of questions con-
cerning the domestic or foreign policy of
either of the contracting parties.
No Court liIar-tial For Allibone.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 28.——Secretar‘y Her-
bert has decided to have no furthcrpro-
ceedings in the case of Lieutenant C. A.
Allibone, executive officer of the cruiser
Columbia. The Officer was charged with
using abusive language toward his brother
officers and enlisted men, and Admiral
Bunce had a court of inquiry look into the
matter.

The Second Installment of the Indiana
Senator’s Speech.
QUESTION OF RECOGNITION.
Cases Cited With Reference to Action In
the Argentina Matter—Spain’s Posi-
tion During Our Civil War.
The \Vork of the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. —-In the senate to-
day the credentials were presented of Mr.
Jones of Arkansas and Mr. Gallinger of
New Hampshire, re-elected for terms be-
ginning March 4 next. Mr. Frye (Rep,
Me.) presented memorials urging the early
ratification of the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty. In presenting a remon-
strance against the bill said to restore the
practice of flogging on vessels Mr. Frye
said there was no measure pending which
in any way restored flogging; but, on the
contrary, the bill referred to. gave greater
security than ever before to sailors against
brutality on shipboard.
Mr. Hoar (Rep. , Mass. ) endeavored to
pass the bill authorizing the chief justice
of the supreme court to designate a. mem-
ber of the federal judiciary to sit in the
hearing of the L’ Abre mining cases before
the court Of claims, but on objection the
bill went over.
Mr. Hill (Demq N. Y. ), from the com-
mittee on judiciary, made a report on the
general question of concurrent and joint
resolutions of congress. The subject was
referred to the committee when a question
arose as to the necessity for presidential
action on con gressional resolutions relating
to Cuba and Armenia.
The house amendments to the senate
bill for a survey of a water route from the
mouth of the jetties at Galveston to Hous-
ton wcro agreed to and the bill finally
passed.
Turpie's Cuban Speech.
Mr. Turpie (Donn, Ind.) then resumed
his speech on the Cuban question. He
spoke of the papers recently sent to the
senate reciting the claims of Americans
against Spain. These, if allowed, could
not be paid in generations from Spain’s
impoverished purse.
“I would rather trust the resources of
the Cuban republic, ” declared the senator,
“than those of Spain, stripped as she will
be of the resources of Cuba. ”
Mr. Turpie then cited the past instances
in which speedy recognition had been given
by the United States to the South Ameri-
can republics.
“Two years after the Argentine outbreak
President Monroe urged recognition of
belligerency and four years after the out-
break ur‘gcd the recognition of independ—
ence. There was suggestion of autonomy,
home rule and restoring peace, and yet
this outbreak,” said Mr‘. ' Turpie, “was
brief compared with the present one in
Cuba, now in its twelfth year. ” It is often
said that our recognition of Cuban bellig-
erency would bring on war with Spain.
But recognition of belligerency is not a
cause for war, and, said Mr. Tur‘pic,
Spain, the very embodiment of diplomatic
punctiliousness, knows that fact. _
“What did Spain do?” exclaimed Mr.
Turpie. “Spain acknowledged the bellig-
erency of the Confederate states in the
first year of the war, and if this recogni-
tion of belligerency is a. casus belli, then
we ought to have declared war on Spain
the day after the surrender of Lee at Ap-
pomattox.
“But, ” continued the senator, “there
is no fear of war with Spain.” There
never had been such a war, and he hoped
and believed there never would. be. The
recognition of belligerency was a. recog-
nized right, not a cause of war.
The llIonroe Doctrine.
After Mr. Turpie had referred 13;; Mon-
roe’s repelling European intervention the
senator added: “And now we hear it inti—
mated that European powers aro to inter-
vene in favor of Spain. It would be an apt
Official reply in that case that the United
States will repel such intervention. Yet
all we hear is ‘pacification, ’ ‘pacification
of the island.’ There is not an intimation
that European intervqption will be repel-
led, but, if I must say it rather an anxiety
that the ryvolution shall fail.’
The senator spoke of p12}? 35,000 Cuban
trodps’, Well al‘ined and isciplined, and
35, 000 more, poorly armed and much like
our old continentiils. The whOle 70,000
had the machete, more dreaded than the
bullet 01‘ the bayonet. Mr. Turpie noted
the distribution of the Cuban forces in
Pinar‘ del Rio and elsewhere. Each corps
was duly commissioned by President Cis-
neros. Each man was fighting for a cause,
just as that little handful of Texas rangers
stood before Sun J acinto. Spain had ut-
terly failed to make headway against the
rebellion. With an overwhelming military
and naval force Spain had not re-estab-
lished her power in the single state of
Pinar‘ dcl Rio. .
“ The forces of Spain have been engaged, ”
declared Mr. Turpie, “not in the suppres-
sion of the revolution, but in guarding the
person of Captain General Weyler and the
property of Spain at Havana.”
In the House.
Owing to the severely cold weather, the
attendance in the house today was very
light. Hardly 100 members were on the
floor. Several pension bills were passed by
unanimous consent.
Mr. Linney (Rep, N. 0.) created some
amusement by a fcrvid eulogy of an ex-
Union soldier named Jerry Smith, whose
pension the pension committee recour-
mended should be increased from $8 to
$12. He described how Smith had combat-
ed the opinions of North Carolina’s most
brilliant statesmen who favored secession
and had joined the Federal army. Mr.
Linney was so much impressed by his
eulogy of Smith that he asked the house
to be generous and grant him an increase
to $35. When Mr. Loud (Rep, Cal.)
threatened to object, Mr. Linney hastily
repented of his raslrproposal and, amid
great merrimcnt, accepted the $4 increase
recommended by the committee.
Mr. Curtis (Rep, N. Y. )1 asked unani-
mous consent for the consideration of a
bill to retire General Alexander Stuart
Webb of New York as a lieutenant colonel.
Mr. Er‘dman (Bern, Pa.) objected.
The Pacific Cable.
V ’ASHINGTON, J an 2’“ .—Thc Pacific ca.-
ble question was considered again today
by the house committee on commerce.
General Wager Swayne of the Pacific Ca-
ble Company of N cw J erscy replied to some
of the statements recently made by J amcs
A. Scrymser of the New York company
that the Spalding company is under Brit-
ish influence. General ‘«Swaync said that

Relief \Vork Neglected In the Central
Provinces All Last Year.
LONDON, Jan. 27,—A dispatch from
Jubbulpor‘e, India, to The Chronicle says:
“Relief measures were neglected in the
central provinces throughout 1896. The
latest statistics, up to the end of October,
give as the excess in the mortality over the
previous ten years, 82,888, exclusive of
cholera cases. Most of this excess is due
to famine. ”
A Standard dispatch from Nico says that
a strong committee of English and Amer-
ican residents has been formed there to
raise a relief fund for the Indian famine
sufferers.
Redmohd Oh the Treaty.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.—John E. Red—
mond, who represents Waterford city, Ire-
land,vin parliament, had a banquet given
him in this city. In talking of the arbi-
tration treaty he said: “If I were an Eng-
lishman, I should regard the treaty as one
of the greatest of English diplomatic
achievements. If I were an American, I
should not be so elated, for I do not see
how, in view of the tenets of the Monroe
doctrine, such a treaty may be made to
coincide with the policy at present pursued
by the United States.”
Actor Henley - Discharged.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-.——Actor E. J. Hen-
ley, whose ar‘rcst'stopped the performance

the distinction of being the oldest

presented to him in 1896. The Lexing-
ton Her‘ald says of him: “Uncle Billy
is a relic of slavery days. Probably no
other man living in Kentucky to-day
can lay as literal a claim to ‘being his
own boss’ as he. Uncle Billy bought
himself, and has a receipt for the man

'POLLY ON A BIKE.
A Trained Parrot that Rides the Bicycle
Holding on “'ith Beak and Claws.
Now the winged steed has captured
the winged creation. 'In Paris at one
of the theatres ,the latest in the way
of bicycle trick riding is done by par-
rots. A parrot is put upon a tiny wheel
of the exact pattern of those ridden by
human beings. He grasps the handle
bar in his beak and with his claws gets
a good grip on the pedals.
The wings are clipped so that he
must depend solely on his leg power
for locomotion. He rides about a little
table furnished with a raised rim, to
keep the feathered pedaller from tak-
ing a header over the edge. Tire par-
rot rides around apparently much at
his case, now and then giving vent to .
a hoarse cry of joy.
After several spins around the table,
the bird is dismounted and placed up-
on another wheel, this one having hol-
low tires to fit a wire. A wire is then
swung across the whole length of the
room. The bicycle and parrot are put
on it, and at a signal Polly works his
legs and at full speed a la Blondin tra-
verses the hall amid enthusiastic ap-
plause. To keep the equilibrium :1. sec-

-“.’lry She Takes His Name.
The practice of a woman changing
her name on marriage originated frOm
a Roman custom, and came into use
Iafter the Roman occupation, says a
writer in “The Commercial Tribune.”
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavia of
Cicero, and in later times women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same way, but omitted
the “of.” On the other hand, at the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
the usage seems doubtful, since we
find Catherine Barr so signing herself
after she had twice married, and we al-
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey (not
Dudley), Arabella Stuart (not Sey-
mour), etc.
The custom, however, is not univer—
sal. In Spain and Portugal married
women do not take the names of their
husbands, but continue to be known
by tit: it own. In many parts of the
iUnitcd States a woman never relin-
quishes her maiden name, and is called
by it as often as by that of her hus-
band. Even in the rural parts of Eng-
land one often finds a married woman
called by her- maiden name, and in
country districts of Scotland it is
sometimes found that both names are
used. In many parts of France and .
Belgium the husband’s and wife’s
names are .used together when either
of them is mentioned «New York {131-1-

The Pr‘intcr"s Translation. '
A gentleman once delivered an ad—
' dress which he sent to the printers. He
had used the well-known phi-free “No
cross, no crown.” The gentleman’s
handwriting not being legible the
printer mistook the phrase, and on the
address appearing in print, to the
author‘s disgust, it read, “N0 cows, no
crearn.”—Tv.‘inklcs.
Tigerm'en In Africa. 1
The worst rascal in the French Con-
go, as far as I know, is the tiger‘man.
There is a belief among the natives
that if one kills ten chickens, ten
‘ducks, ten goats, ten children, ten
women, and ten men he will never die;
and to gain this desired end people are
murdered by wholesale.
The murderer- dresses himself in a‘
tiger skin and walks on all fours when-
ever near‘ persons he wishes to kill.
but when alone he walks erect. Small
knives carried in the belt of his dress
are the instruments with which these
foul deeds are committed. .
