. SENATOR THURSTON’S PLEA.

“’ants a “far-ship Sent to Havana—Elkina
In Opposition ~— A Three Cornered
Skirmish, In Which Bailey, Reed
and Dalzell Tool: Part.

.Washington, May 21.—Only the front
rows in the senate galleries were ocu-
pied when thesession opened today, as
the Morgan resolution was not in order
until 2 o’clock and there was little to
draw the crowds during the morning
hour. Chaplain Milburn referred in his
prayer’to the report that Senator Earle
of South Carolina lies at the point of
death and prayed for his restoration to
health.

A lettbr from the German embassa-
dor, relating to the differential duties in
the pending tariff bill, was received
from the secretary of state and referred
to the finance committee.

At 12:30 the senate was about to take
up the calendar when Mr. Morgan un~
'expectcdly asked that the Cuban reso-
lution be taken up without waiting for
its formal presentation at 2 o’clock.
Mr. Hale said there would be no objec-
tion To this plan“ The resolution was
then taken up, and Mr. Thurston of
Nebraska addressed the senate.

He spoke of the bloody contest which
had raged during the last two years.
There was ample information as to its
extent from American correspondents,
who had written their dispatches on
the field of battle, from the reports
which filled the records of the senate
and in the archives of the state depart-
ment. Every man in the United States
ought to be ready for action on this
question at this time, and if any sen-
ator was not sufficiently informed Mr.
Thurston commended him to the con-
sideration of his constituents. The sen-
ator referred to the St. Louis convenw
tion, over which he presided, and pic—
tured the scene when, “with a mighty
shout that seemed to lift the roof above
our heads the Cuban resolution was
passed. by the convention.”

Senator Thurston closed his Cuban
speech by declaring that the United
States should send her strongest bat-
tleship to Cuba and station her in the
harbor of Havana, where her frowning
guns might awe the spirit of tyranny
and revive hope in those struggling to
be free.

SenatorVElkins followed in opposition
to the resolution.

I Vlork of the House.

Interest in the Cuban question was
focused upon the house today. The
spectators who had packed the senate
yesterdfiay flocked over to the house
galleries,’ and the scene was that of a
congressional field day. Down in the
arena the chairs on the Republican
side were, more than half of them, oc-
cupied, many members having returned
to the city in response to messages
from the chairman of the caucus. who
had attempted to muster a quorum of
the ruling party.

There was a diversion in the begin—
ning furnished by Mr. Simpson (Kan),
who demanded the reading of the full
journal after it had been read in the
usual skeletonized form, a demand
which. under the rules, the speaker was
compelled to gratify. Then Mr. Simp-
son made the point that it was stated
in the journal that certain bills were
referred to committees, whereas no
committees had been appointed. Mr.
Simpson was silenced by the previous
question, demanded ‘and sustained by
the Republicans.

The decks having been cleared, Mr
Dalzell, from the committee on rules.
reported a rule for the consideration of
the senate Cuban relief resolution, the
rule providing for a vote after two
hours’ debate.

A Little Skirmish.

Mr. Bailey endeavored to secure rec-
ognition to present the views of the
minority of the committee, but the
speaker recognized Mr. Dalzell to de-
mand the previous question. There
was a sharp three cornered skirmish
between Speaker Reed and Mr. Dalzell
on one side and Mr. Bailey on the
other, in the course of which Mr. Bailey
remarked that he knew the Republic-
ans did not intend to give the minority
any opportunity to be heard, but ad-
vised them to carry out their pro-
gramme. with some degree of decency.
whereupon he was applauded by the
galleries.

Mr. Simpson shouted, “Don’t ask for
decency from that side.”

The proposition which Mr. Bailey
was attempting to present was a sub‘
stitute rule for consideration of Sen-
ator Morgan’s resolution for recogni-
tion of the belligerency of the insur-
gents which is now before the senate
after the appropriation for the relief
had been disposed. of. .'

Mr. Hitt (Rep, 1115.), replying to Mr.
Bailey in a speech on the Cuban relief
measure, stated that the object of Mr.

Bailey was to obtain political advan- .

tage. The purpose of the Republicans
in power, Mr. I-Iitt said, was to secure
peace in Cuba with independence.

At the close of the Cuban debate on
the special order in the house Mr. Bai—
ley offered his motion to recommit
with instructions to report both reso-
lutions together. This being declared
out of order. an appeal was taken, fol-
lowed by a motion to table. the appeal.
on which a. roll call was had. The Be-
publicans voted solidly for tabling, and
it. was carried.

City Carnot. Buy-Railroads.

New .York. May 21.—A. decision was.
handed down today by Justice Beach
in the supreme court on the question
of the power of the city to purchase the
Eighth Avenue railroad and on com-
bined motions to enjoin the change of
power from horse to electricity on the
Eighth avenue line. Justice Beach
says that the city’s right to pur-
chase the road is “dead beyond hope of
resurrection.“ The injunctions were
denied. '

Steel Rail Pool Rumors.

Pittsburg, May 21.———The smaller man-
ufacturers of steel rails and billet rails
are advocating the reorganization of
the billet and rail ‘pools. They were.
not satisfiedwith their allotment, but
the disruption of the pools, it is said,
brought .no relief. The large manufac-
turers say they have no intention at
going into another pool.

Thai is the Way They Do Things in
‘ IIorwaIk.

Mr. C. A. Mullings, 35 Van Zandt
avenue, East N orwalk, says: " Both
my son and myself have been bothered
withcatarrh, it troubling us very much
alike; the head being badly stuffed up,
while the matter dropping into the
throat caused continual coughing. I
procured a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South
N orwalk, and we began using it. We
didn’t have to wait long to learn its value
it relieved at once. My head and throat
are now much clearer than they have
been for some time. I will gladly
recommend the medicine to anyone who
is suffering with catarrh. ” ‘

California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for the treatment of the mu-
cous membrane. It allays the inflam-
mation, checks the disease, and arrests
and repairs the decay of this delicate
lining. The ravages of catarrh may be
increased by im ure blood, but purify-
ing the blood wi lneither cure catarrh,
relieve hay fever, nor clean and purify
the nasal passages after a cold; while
no case of catarrh, even if the patient
has impure blood, fails to yield to Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure.

In the case of a cold, the treatment
may be begun as easily as possible, but
should be continued till the last. trace
has disappeared.

each bottle have only to be followed
till a cure is effected, then, with care
of each cold, one may be free from
chronic catarrh forever.

Cataarh of the stomach presupposes
nasal cataarh, and is cured in the same
we '.

In the case of hay fever, the earlier
the treatment is begun the better, but.
used at any time relief will be obtained,
and persistence will result in a cure.

California Cataarh Cure is sold at all
drug stores. A big bottle for 50 cents
and one three times as large for one
dollar.

DUFFIELD’S MUSKRAT FARM;

It, Helps the Jerseyman \Vhile Away the
\Viuter and is a Profitable Business.

John Dutfield of Cedarville, Cumber-
land county, New Jersey, is the owner
of a unique farm in the State of sandy
roads and mosquitoes. He runs a musk-
rat farm, and, in a way, too, that is
profitable to himself. Duffield some-
time ago found that an extensive piece
of marsh he owned along the shores
of Delaware Bay, near his home, was
of no use, unless he turned it into a
muskrat farm. This he did, and he
bids fair to become quite well-to-do in
a few years from the proceeds of the
rodents, which are rapidly increasing
in numbers.

Muskrats once settled on a piece of
marsh land suited to their tastes will
not leave it. The soft—coated rodents
need little or no care, and increase at a
marvelous rate. The harvest time for
muskrat crops comes in the winter
season, at a time when the south J er-
sey farmer puzzles his brain to pass
away the dull hours”. There is a ready
market for the sale cf the “rat furs”
in-Philadelphia and New York, and the
prices the skins command are from $20
to $25 per hundred.

The fur is not the only‘valuable part
of the' animal. The muskrat has a
value to perfumers and wholesale
druggists, while the carcass has be-
come quite a delicacy as a substitute
for the flesh of rabbits. Much of the
s-o-called rabbit stew served up in the
city restaurants is plain everyday
muskrat meat. In flavOr it is similar
to that of the rabbit, and an expert
epicure could not distinguish one from
the other. The only difference is in the
cost of rabbit meat. It would be hard
to find a cleaner animal than the musk-
rat. Every article of food is thorough-
ly washed before it is eaten, and its
principal diet is the tender roots of
sedge grass.-—I-‘hil_:_idelphia Press.

DIarried After All.

Alexander Belles, one of the early
ltinerant preachers, who preached in
three states among the Allegheny
mountains, was much tormented by
the influence of one John Rogers, 3
Jerseyman, who openly taught athe-
lsm and the abolishment of marriage.
On one occasion, while holding a meet-
ing in the woods in Virginia, a young
man and a. woman pushed their way
up to the stump which served as apul-
pit. The man, interrupting the ser-
mon, said defiantly:

“I’d like you to know that we are
’Rogerites.” The old man looked at
him over his spectacles and waited.
“We don’t believe in no God. Nor in
marriage. This is my Wife, because I
choose her to be; but I’ll have no.
preacher nOr ’squire meddlin’ with us.”

“Do you mean to tell me,” thundered
Father Belles, “that you have taken
this girl home as your wife?”

“Yes, I do.” said the fellow, dog-
gedly.

‘,‘And you have gone willingly- to live
with him as your husband?”

“Yes,” said the frightened girl.

“Then I pronounce you man and
wife, and whom God hath joined toé
gether let no man put asunder. Be off
with you! You are married now .ac-
cording to the law and the Gospel.”
