The Cuban Debate.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. Before the
Cuban debate was resumed in the
house yesterday Mr. Lacey ( rep. , la. ) ,
chairman of the committee on public
lands , called up a bill to extend the
public land laws of the United States
to Alaska and to grant a right of way
under certain restrictions to any rail
road organized under the laws of any
state in the union. It was explained
that the right of way grant was 100
feet on each side of the road , but that
all mineral deposits were specifically
reserved. Without completing the con
sideration of the bill it went over and
the house went into committee of e
whole and resumed the consideration
of the diplomatic and consular appro
priation bill.
Mr. Clark ( dem. , Mo , ) , opened thej
Cuban debate with one of his char
acteristic , breezy speeches. He said in
part :
If Spain dees not bring the war tea
a speedy conclusion the United States
ought to expel her from the western
hemisphere. There can be not dGubt as
to what has been our traditional for
eign policy. What our foreign policy
is under the McKinley administration ,
like the peace of God , passeth all un
derstanding. In these days of Mc-
Hannaism our foreign policy is so
feeble , so cringing , so cowarcily , that
even old and decrepit Spain insults
our flag , maltreats our citizens and
searches our ships with perfect im
punity , and President McKinley. in
stead of men-of-war to
sending - - pro
tect our honor , assert our supremacy
and teach the insolent and impotent
dons a lesson they would never forget ,
passed the hat around and invites the
American people to contribute alms
for starving and dyin Cubans !
It is high time that we served p'ain
and emphatic notice on all kings , em
perors and potentates that the navies
of transatlantic powers shall not , o
used as collection bureaus for for
questionable debts ' , as was done a year
or two ago at Corinto , and as .vas
done a month or so ago in Hayti. The
Cuban case is this : For three years
the insurgents have fought with a
courage and suffered , with a fortitude
that has challenged the admiration of
the w orld save and except the Mc
Kinley administration. Three or four
hundred thousand people some of the
papers say 600,000 have died : men ,
women and children , as much martyrs
in the cause of liberty as was Warren
or any other hero who died that we
might be free and yet the McKinley
administration lifts not its finger to
stay the slaughter and can think of
nothing more effective for their relief
than to pose as the bisr beggarman.
The party of Sumner. Chase and Se
ward , which proudly vaunted itself as
the friend of man , has become the ally
of pestilence and arson , famine , devas
tation , rape and murder !
To every suggestion that we should
re-enter upon a vigorous and foreign
policy we are met with the hysterical
shriek that we are advocating war.
It is not true , but suppose it were ?
There are some thiners worse than
war deplorable as war unquestion
ably is and one of them is to play
the cry baby act until we are despised
of all nations and kindreds and
tongues.
Now that we number 70,000,000 souls
a republican administration cannot e
taunted , kicked or cuffed into resent
ing an insult or demanding reparation
for an injury. Such a contemptible
and pusillanimous policy is enough to
make Grant , Sherman , Sheridan , Du-
pont , Farragut and Porter restless in
their coffins !
My republcan frends I invite you
to lay aside the weight that is holding
you down , asert your rights , come out
on the side of eternal justice and hu
man liberty , thereby demonstrating
that you are worthy of the high voca
tion wherein you are called. We dem
ocrats and populists stand here ready
to remove from America her great re
proach. We on this side will con
tribute 152 votes. If only 27 rebubli-
cans will break the yoke , defy their
taskmasters and join us in this noble
work before the sun sets this day we
will send the glad tidings ringing
round the world that "Cuba is free. "
Free , thank God. by the aot of the
American congress.

eight degrees above , moving rapidly
toward the north in a path slightly
inclined toward the earth. It in
creased in brightness along its course
and disappeared suddenly in a clear
sky without any explosion ' being
heard. "

ANNEXATION BEAUTHi.S.
Senator Jlorg- Continues Debate < Mio
Jlauuilan Treaty.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. Senator
Morgan continued his speech in ad
vocacy of the'ratification of the Ha
waiian annexation treaty in th.e exe
cutive session of the senate. He an
nounced at the conclusion that he
probably would require one more day
• u which to complete his presentation
of the subject.
Senator Morgan dealt with the
questions of the agricultural and com
mercial possibilities of the island , with
the character of the present govern
ment and with the position of the na
tives on the subject of annexation. He
repeated his assertion that President
Cleveland was favorable to the ac
quisition of the islands , and expressed
the opinion that it. was his intention
to have restored the. queen and to have
negotiated with her a treaty of an
nexation. He also expressed the
opinion that Mr. Cleveland would nev
er have taken such a positive position
as he did take against the Dole gov
ernment and in opposition to annex
ation , but for the antagonistic aid mis
leading report of Commissioner Blount.
The senator was interrupted at this
point by two or three senators who are
opposed to the treaty , who wanted to
know if it was not true that Mr. Cleve
land had withdrawn the treaty for an
nexation made by the Harrison admin
istration. He admitted that this was
the case , saying that it was a matter of
record , but he still contended that un
der conditions entirelv to his liking
Mr. Cleveland would have supported
annexation. Mr. Morgan had been con
vinced from private interviews with
Mr. Cleveland that he not only be
lieved In the wisdom of annexation of
Hawaii , but that he would also have
recommended the annexation of Cuoa
under the right conditions.
Mr. Morgan defended the present
government of Hawaii in strong terms
and eulogized Mr. Dole as one of the
most competent rulers of u.ie time. He
controverted the idea that the present
government was , as had been charged ,
a missionary government , claiming
that it was in every way staunch and
enterpnising and abreast of the times.
Speaking of the resources of the isl
ands , Mr. Morgan said they were mani
fold , and that the time would come
when they would produce enough cof
fee to supply the demands of all the
people of the United States , while the
sugar production had already reached
its limit.
He concluded that the resources of
the country were such as to insure a
very prosperous future and predicted
that Honolulu would some time in the
not distant future attain to great com
mercial importance , equal in all prob
ability to that of Hong-Kong or other
cities of equal magnitude.
The Senatorial Tiribery Charges.
COLUMBUS , O. , Jan. 21. The sen
atorial bribery investigation was not
before the senate yesterday as ex
pected. The crowds waited in vain
during the morning session for a re
port from the committee consisting of
Senators Burke , Finck , Robertson ,
Long and Gar field , that had held un
usual sessions the last two nights.
At its sessions Tuesday and Wednes-
nights the senate committee appointed
to investigate the charges of Repre
sentative Otis of Cincinnati that he
had been offered $1,750 by H. H. Boyce
to vote for Hanna had before it Sam
uel Pentland , proprietor of the Neil
house , where Senator Hanna had his
headquarters ; S. M. Dunlap , manager
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany ; W. F. Truesdale , manager of the
Postal Telegraph company , and P. M.
Ross , manager of the telephone com
pany. Last night S. D. Hollenbeck of
Chardon , auditor of Geagua county
and a member of the republican state
executive committee , was also before
the committee. All of the witnesses
refused to answer questions , because
their attorneys had advised them that
the committee had no jurisdiction un
der the senate resolution on which it
was proceeding.
The committee has a report to pre
sent to the senate recommending the
arrest and punishment of these five
witnesses for contempt. It is delayed
because of the sickness of Mr. Hol
lenbeck , who was allowed last night to
return home on account of his ill
ness. As the five names are included
in one contempt resolution it was de
cided by the committee toaay to wait
till Mr. Hollenbeck can return and ap
pear before the bar of the senate.
Strange Case of Lunacy.
WASHINGTON , D. C , Jan. 21. Hal-

windows of his home. He is perfectly
sane on all other subjects , but is suf
fering from intermittant melancholia.
The proceedings are with his full
knowledge and after conference with
friends.

The state relief commlsion appoint

the national Cuban rel.ef cDmm.ttee
named by the president has issued tno
following appeal to Nebniska people :
To the Peop.e of Nebraska : A lev
years ago , owing to a continued and
uapretdinteddiouth , our.tatesuffered
severely from the failure of crops ; and
much suffering for the necessities of
life threatened our people. We ten
derly remember the sympathy and ma
terial help we rec.lved from other
states. Thousands of our pacple w.ra
cheered and supported by contribu
tions of money , food and clothing.
These remembrances will never be
effaced from the grateful hearts of
Nebraskans. Last year , our excellent
governor was the first of the chief
magistrates of all the states to appeal
• in behalf of the starving millions in
India. So generously d.d our people
respond that hundreds of car loads of
corn , and thousands of dollars l.i mon
ey were sent to the land of suffering
and death. So abundant were do a-
tions that the relief commission was
finally compelWl to decline receiving
more.
Again the wails of famine , the crie3
of affliction" , the moans of sickne's and
disease , are heard from almost a
neghboring community Cuba. Dread
ful have been the hor.ible crue.tiei of
war in that unfortunate irland through
the work of the machete , the bu le a.d
the bayonet. But where they have
killed thousands of soldiers in arms ,
famine , disease , epedemic and other
nameless horrors h . e slain tens of
thousands of old men and helpless wo
men o' chi drcd a d ! ans 'ibis fta- -
ful carnival of tutfering , famine a-d
death is on the increase , and w.ll con
tinue so , unless some spirit of hum ni-
ty , pity and help intervenes to m t -
gate the exis.ing candiaons cf % vratch-
edness
President McKin ' ey has sppo ' n ed a
central relief committee , locale ! in
New York , to organize expeditions of
relief. And his excellency , Governor
Holcomb , appeals to the citizens of N -
braska to co-operate with the plans of
.the president , to send money , medi
cine , food and clothing to the starving
people of Cuba. He has appointed tie
undersized as a relief commission for
Nebraska to solicit , receive cnl for
ward contributions in ac'ordanci wi h
the directions cf the governor. May
ors of cities and towns , and chief offi
cers of villages and townships are ur
gently requested to organize iclief
committees in their respective citiss ,
towns and villages , throughout the
state , to receive subscriptions and con
tributions , and forward the same
through this commission , either at
Lincoln or at Omah\ for which prompt
acknowledgment will be mad \
All citizens deslricus of aiding this
enterprise of pity and cha i.y may for
ward their donations to the secre ary ,
or any other member of the comm ' s-
sion most convenient. Contributions
of money , shelled corn , wheat , cann-d
goods , light clothin ? for both sexes
and all other necessities of lif3 , will 1 e
accepted and forwarded free of charg' ,
to the sufferers.
Wo urge that the response to this rp-
peal be generous , universal and im

At the meeting of the State Horti
cultural society in Lincoln the re
ports of the secretary and treasurer
showed that while there is now on
hand over § 1,000 , heme N part of the
balance carried since the time when
the society got an appropriation of
l'2,000 , and which was reinforced last
year by $ S00 received from the State
Agricultural society , there is now on
hand but 51.16S.78 to pay the expenses
and premiums for the coming year ,
with only the 51,000 state appropria
tion to be received in October after
the premiums are paid. No money is
to be received from the Agricultural
society this year , and the prospect is
that at the commencement of next
year the balance will be almost all
gone. A summary of the report shows
that from June , 1897 , to June , 1898 ,
makes the following showing : Bal
ance on hand , § 1,178.25 ; cash from
former secretary , $14 ; September 27 ,

poses , and has thereby caused ami M
stimulated the rise and growth of po- H
