HOUSE STANDS FIRM

Their Own Cuban Resolutions Upheld.

SENATE RESOLUTIONS DEFEATED.

_Aa Overwhelming Majority in Favor of Recognizing the Cuban Insurgents as SSelligerents—The ICesolutions as I'assed.

A Conference Committee Will Report on tlie Two Different Sets of Resolutions. WASHINGTON. March 8.—Cuba Libre

bad a field day in the house. Despite the war talk from Spain the struggling patriots in Cuba were eulogized and sympathized within a two-hours' detain and the rules were then suspended ami the resolutions by the house foreign affairs committee were adopted as a substitute for those of the senate by an overwhelming majority—263 to 17. Ail analysis of the vote shows that 138 Republicans, 70 Democrats and five Populists voted for the resolutions and nine Republicans and eight Democrats against: them.

The debate which preceded their adoption was animated and breathed a spirit of liberty. At times it was exceedingly dramatic especially when forebodings of war were uttered, but there was no stemming the strong tide. The setting of the scene was brilliant. 'Hie galleries were black with people *lt£racted by the prospect of the stirring levent. In the reserved galleries were prominent personages. Even the diplomatic gallery, which is usually empty, was thronged with the representatives fOi foreign countries.

On tin. floor the attendance was the 3ar,gest of the session. A number of .•senators came over from the other end *sf the Capitol to watch the proceedings.

The enthusiasm of the members and .spectators ran riot several times, and tche opponents of the resolutions cut but a, sorry figure when they attempted a counter demonstration. Owing to the ibrief time allotted for debate members were fortunate in securing two or three oaiuutes to present their views.

The resolutions are as follows: "Kt'solved, by the house of representatives (the senate concurring), that in itlie opinion of congress a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to •wiii'.'h are entitled belligerent lights .and the United States should observe a jsfcrict neutrality between the belliger-

—Kesclved, that congress deplores the siestra i.i. of lii'e and property caused shy tlje war now waging in the island, road believing that the only permanent .solatiou of .the contest equally in the .interest of Spain, the

'\EesiIy, d, that the United States feiP not intervened in struggles between j«ry Eui-opean governments and their !?Eic8ue« oi.» this contiueut: but from the •ssry dos .' relations between the people •(sir the United States and those of Cuba •ia eouscii. ^nce of its proximity and the earteut o!' the commerce between the peopl.'i the present war is entailing upon the people of the 3&aited that congress is of opiu-. ion that the government of the United States shr. Id be prepared to protect the uterests of Americans by inriterveufcioii, if necessary."

Mr. Hale,, who stt&ed the bill, said he did not think •^arwas imminent, but in view of the i-warse of the United Stares, he regarded tlfc® emergency clauses as desirable.

TOBACCO TRUST OPPOSITION.

Action Taken at St. Louis by a Number ol Prominent Firms. ST. LOUIS, March 3.—At a conference

held yesterday at tlie Planters' hotel, between representatives of tobacco firms not members of the American Tobacco company, it was decided to follow in the footsteps of the Drummond Tobacco company, and Liggett & Meyers' Tobacco company of this city, and manufacture cigarettes in competition with the big eastern combiue. There were present P. Lorillard, Jr., of P. Lorillard & Company of Jersey City?'?:-1. H. Kay of Miadletown, O. P. J. Surg, of P. J. Sorg & Company of Midciletown, O. Colonel W. C. Wet-more, of the Liggett & Meyers' Tobacco company, and John Drummond, of the Drummond Tobacco company.

The new factories together intend to double the present output of the American Tobacco company. Prices, it is said, will not bo reduced, unless to meet prices of the. combine.

Colonel Wetmore said: '-These outside manufacturers present here are all ready to begin the manufacture of cigarettes. Their object in coming here is to examine our cigarette machine, Yes, sir, we are going to turn out cigarettes b^ the millions. Our success in St. Louis, has assured the easterners."

It was reported that Mr. Lorillard would locate his plant in St. Louis. But he would not be interviewed on the subject. Mr. Bay said that he was confident of the success of the new enterprise.

The visiting manufacturers will remain here two or three days.

Senators Vilas and Mitchell of Wisconsin, as well as a number of the Wisconsin representatives, were present, as was also Mr. Trentanoy, the artist who modeled tlie statue.

In the after noon Representative Linton of Michigan introduced in tiie house the joint resolution regarding the statue of Father Marquette, which has been expected for several days. The resolution states that the placing of the statue in the Capitol is not only without authority but in direct violation of the law, and recommends that the statue be removed from the Capital and returned to its donors.

A CHICAGO MURDER MYSTERY.

Uody Washed Ashore That Had Been .Shot, Stabbed and Beaten. CHICAGO, March 3.—The corpse of a

man was washed ashore on the lake front near the Chicago Beach hotel. The body at first glance suggested murder. The head had been b^at^n out of all semblance to humanity and identification from facial appearance was impossible. Tlie body was that of a robustly built man, with well molded limbs and wide shoulders. It was entirely devoid of clothing, save for a shirt whieli was attached to the right arm only by a butt on

apparently been in the water about a week. In addition to the terrible wounds on the head, there is a gaping wound like a knife stab in the right groin, and above the breastbone is another opening resembling a bullet wound. The left arm is broken and almost every rib is crushed. The completing link in the evidence of murder was that the mastaehe had been clipped from the face after the murder had been committed. No clew to the identity of the body or the place of murder has yet been found. The police department believe in the murder theory.

OX IN A TRANCE.

Lay Apparently Dead For a Month Then Suddenly Came to Life. CATLETTSBUEG, Ky., March 8.—On

the 1st of December an ox belonging to William May, a faimer living on John's creek, Pike county, died. On the 25th of the same month, a neighbor who was passing the road near by, said he heard it lowing.

The news spread everywhere in a day that the ox of William Mays, which I had been dead for 25 days had come to life, and caused great excitement. The I ox ate an amount of corn and drank a gallon of milk. The ne^t morning the owner was surprised to find the ox in the same trance, and no signs of life perceptible.

Monday the animal again awakened from the trance, after being motionless for over two months. Some say it is a warning against the local option law, and others say it is the fulfillment of I the Scriptures, "a wonder." The inI habitants are excited. People are flocking from all over Pike county to John's creek to see the freak.

Self Denial.

Nobody stands on a pillar now, or lives his life upon bread and water, or does his work or eats his dinner clothed in a hair shirt, which, by the way, must, one would think, have gradually become to the habitual wearer at least as bearable as flannel is to skins accustomed to the touch of linen garments. We have to deny ourselves, if at all, in little things, and if we never do it, how is the habit, which is by no means instinctive with the natural man, ever to be generated That seems sound, and yet it is by no means clear that our grandfathers, who cultivated small self denials, were less selfish than ourselves, and they were decidedly less philanthropic.

Monks of the stricter orders are very little better, if at all, than English clergymen, and men who go periodically into training, which involves much severe self denial, do not emerge from that discipline models either of character or of xmduct. —London Spectator.

Appreciative.

Mrs. Shoddy-Tinsel—Oh, Mrs. Rich, have you seen the lovely, lovely oil painting Mr. Cornice presented to my daughter?

Mrs. Rich—No, I have not. I did uot know Mr. Cornice painted. Mrs. Tinsel—Oh, most beautifully. He dashed olf this painting for Amelia in half an hour. So clever—he's an arcli-itect, yoa know, though he studied to be a Hcnlpiure.—Vogue.

Conscientious.

"Wait one moment," said the eminent statesman to the reporter who had come for the manuscript of his speech. "I want to make a little correction." 'And he made a hasty erasure where he had written the bracketed word "applause" and the applause had failed to come in.—Chicago Tribune.
