THE HOUSE 4G4IH PASSES THE 48 1Z0N4 LE4SE BILL ABOUT SCHOOL LANDS The Vote Wes 200 to 38—Mr. Henderson Reports tne Measure to Abolish the T<* System As Regards United States Attorney* and Mar shals—The Mil's Mala Provisions. Wasiii\oto**, RAlarch* 12.'—The Sen ate amendment* to the. army appro priation bills were non-concurrcid in by the House to-day and the bill was sent to conference. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the public lands committee, called tip the bill to lease certain lands in Arizona for school purposes, which tvas vetoed yesterday by the President, and moved that it be passed over the veto. Mr. Lacey, in support-of his motion, said that the house was confronted with tile constitutional interference of the president on a bill that hud parsed both houses unanimously. Mr. Lacey explained that the bill was identical with that authorizing Oklahoma to lease her educational lauds for school purposes, which had been prepared and passed by the last Congress at the request of the Secre tary of the Interior and the commis sioner of the general land office. As a result of the Oklahoma hills, $.38,oUo had been realized in that territory last year, while, under the former system SM'LorfO bad been obtained. Was it implied now, he asked, that the governor of Arizona was not as competent to lease these lands as the Secretary of the Interior, 1,800 miles away. Iloth were Mr. Cleve land’s appointees. The veto message had called attention to the opposition of “influential citizens” in Arizona. Naturally such opposition would exist. The cattle barons in Oklahoma had protested, yet the law in that terri tory had worked admirublv. Some or uiese lands were now occupied without authority and without rental. The President, Mr. Lacey said, had un doubtedly been deceived, lie had been influenced by men who had, per haps, beeu influenced by others inter ested in obtaining' the use of these lands free of charge. Mr. Murphy, the Arizona delegate, made the positive statement that the bill had the approval of the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of the general land oflioe. and that their opinions in writing had been laid before the President while ho was considering the bill. Notwithstand ing this statement, Mr. Turner of (ieorgia thought it could be assumed safely that the President had had the advice of the secretary of the interior and that the latter probably had in spired the veto. One of the principal objections raised by the President was that the lands, if leased by the local authorities of the Territory, could be denuded of their timber, us by the terms of the bill it was not necessary to submit the leases for the approval of the secretary. The vote resulted 2ui) to 3S. more than two-thirds having voted in the affirmative, the bill was declared passed over the President's veto. The announcement was greeted with scattering applause bv the Re publican side. Mr. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa, from tlie committee on rules, then presented a special order, otter ing the llpdegralfe bill to abolish the fee system in the case of United States attorneys and marshals as an amend ment to the legislative appropriation bill. The bill provides that the fee system is to be abolished after June :10 of this year and the fees collected to be turned into the treasury. Annual salaries are to be paid the United States dis trict attorneys and marshals in these districts as folllows: In the district of Kansas, *4.0(10; in the West tern district of Missouri, each $4,000; in Oklahoma each $'..010.

A Chicago Case in Which the New Light Kerealeil Uhldcn Disease. Chicago, March L\—A surgical op eration wav performed at Merey hos pital yesterday, by Professor Christian Fenger, which was suggested by the itse of the Roentgen ray and which led to an important discovery. The oper ation is based on a shadowgraph taken by means of the X rays showing the presence of malignant diseases in the interior of bones hitherto unknown to medical science. A Mrs. Swanson complained of a pain in the bone of the right thigh. Shadowgraphs of the woman's thigh were taken, the rav passing through the hollow in the thigh bone contain ing the marrow. It showed a portion of the bone midway between the knee and the hip joint two inebes long and an inch wide was entirely gone and its place was tilled by a spongy growth. The operation showed that sarcoma had attacked the thigh bone in its in terior. This is the first known in stance of the use of the ray in such deep seated disease.

Shipping ami Villages Damaged to the Extent of Many Millions In Australia. Victoria, B. G, March 2 —The last week of January of this year will be remembered long by residents of the Australian colonies as bavins' wit nessed a terrible gale ami floods on the Queensland coast. Many vessels were wrecked and villages destroyed. The damage ashore is estimated at $'2,500,000. The loss of property at sea was not so great, but the’ loss of life by marine disasters was greater than on shore. Townsville, a small city on the northeast coast of Queens land seemed to be the center of the storm. Every vessel in the harbor was wrecked. Boss island, a short distance away, was flooded and many lives were lost in attempts to reach the mainland by small boats. The damage by the hurricane in Towns ville harbor is assessed at $1,250,000. On Boss island., many houses were swept, from their foundations and the wind upset a rescue boat. Mrs. Hunt arid her infant, Mrs. Ouniman. Her trude Rowe, the elder Miss Bowe and a boy named Willy Wallace were drowned. A house maid in Judge Chubb's employe was drowned while wading toward a pnnt. Sandy Walker was drowned while trying to cross Victoria bridge, which iiad six feet of water above the rails. "Many steamers are overdue at points along the coast aud it is feared they have been wrecked. Three weeks before this great storm a hurricane visited the llapai group and in Lifuka and the neighborhood 200 houses were blown down. The damage to the eoeoanut trees was so great that it will take the island from two to three years to recover as a copra producing district. Shipping suffered severely. The Norwegian bark West Australian and the Herman bark Woosung. loading at Lifuka, were both driven ashore an aban doned, the former having between 400 and 500 tons of copra on board. The Herman schooner Adele also was wrecked. AN ASSASSIN CREMATED. TIib Murderer of L. M. Smith at Jefferson, WIs.. Burned In a Factory. Jki fkhsox, Wis., March 2.—L. M.

Cuban Matters Discussed. Washington, Feb. 29.—The Senate this afternoon adopted the Cuban res olution as amended by Air. Cameron. The vote was 04 yeas to 6 nays. The resolution in full is as follows: “Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring’), That in the opinion of Congress a condition of public war exists between the government of Spain and the gov ernment proclaimed and for some time maintained by force of arms Dy the people of Cuba; and that the United States of America should main tain a strict neutrality between the contending1 powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. “Resolved, That the friendly offices of the United States shall be offered by the President to the Spanish gov ernment for the recognition of the independence of Cuba.” The vote on the committee and the Cameron resolutions resulted—61 yeas to (» nays. The Senators who voted in the neg ative were: Cnffery, Chilton, George, Hale, Morrill, Wetmore. The announcement of the result was greeted with great applause in the galleries. The Sen .te galleries were well filled at the opening of the session in antic ipation o' the culmination of the Cu ban debr.te and the final vote. Shortly after the session opened Representative Hitt, chairman of the House committee on Foreign Affairs, joined Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Senate committee on Foreign Rela tions, m a whispered conference at Sherman’s desk. The Ohio senator announced that the Cuban question would be taken up without waiting for the usual expiration of the morn ing hour at 2 o'clock. Air. Allen of Nehrn.itj-« « withdraw the resolution for the ap pointment of Mr. Lloyd as a Senate official. This brought on another dis cussion as to adding a Populist official I to the rolls. Mr. Allen Anally with- i drew the resolution. * ; Mr. Sherman then moved that the j Cuban resolutions be taken up, and ! this prevailed without objection. Chairman Hitt remained alongside Mr. Sherman as the debate proceeded, ltaron Von Kettler of the German em bassy occupied a seat in the diplomatic gallery. Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky then ad dressed the Senate on the Cuban reso lutions. He said the conflict in Cuba was at our very doors and was being waged with such desperation that only one of two results could come— cither the complete independence of Cuba, on the one hand, or the utter annihilation of the Cuban peoDle on the other. The senator said he ap proached the subject from the stand point of humanity rather than law. Declarations of sympathy would avail nothing to the Cubans. Declarations that they had progressed to the stage of belligerents would avail nothing. ACTIVE INTERVENTION JUSTIFIED. “If the United States intends taking i any steps that will avail these strug gling Cubans, that step should be iu the direction of the ultimate independ ence of Cuba,” declared Mr. Lindsay in stentorian tones. In the past the United States had not hesitated to take the position of recognizing inde pendence under circumstances similar to th*>se now existing in Cuba. Quoting from international author ities, the Senator maintained that a condition now existed in Cuba justify ing the United States in considering a proposition for active intervention to restore public order and in behalf of humanity. Hut, said Mr. Lindsay, the resolution did not contemplate active intervention. It extended srnnd nftiW to Spain with "a view to securing tho ultimate independence of Cuba. “And such independence,” added Mr. Lindsay, “is the only basis which will bring lasting peace to Cuba, judged from the experience of seventy years. The United States could not relieve itself - from the responsibility of seeing that Spain showed this I island some kind of justice. Could we i say to the world that unless Cuba i secured her independence by her own unaided efforts she might remain | under the abject subjection of Spain? i Should we not say to Spain that some j sort of protection, some sort of justice and liberty consistent with an en lightened age must be shown to these people? “Spain now contemplated the an nihilation of all the able bodied men of Cuba in order to crush this uprising. Spain owed to Cuba as much as Tur key owes to Armenia, or as the United States to Venezuela, a duty of protec tion, and if this protection was not given, then the point had been reached ! when the United States should move for the severance of Cuba from Spain. ” TUF. REBELS WE1.L ORGANIZED. At 1:15 p. m., Mr. Sherman began his speech, closing the debate. He spoke of the keen sensitiveness of the Spanish people and their tendency to quickly resent any act they regarded as injurious to them. Hut, he felt that the time had come when the United States must intervene to put ! an end to crime almost beyond de-j scription. The Senator said he would I not re-enter on the legal arguments so I fully covered by Mr. Morgan, but he I referred to several pamphlets present- ! 1 ed by Mr. Kstrada Palma, the agent 1 and representative of the Cubans in 1 this country. Mr. Sherman said those i statements bore the stamp jf authen- j 1 ticily. They overcame the misappre- j hension that the Cabans were scat tered. unorganized bands. They showed the organization of a legisla- i ture, and of an army, and the Presi- ! dent was a man of high character j the provisional government was as1 Complete ns the United States ha2 during the revolutionary war. Mr. Sherman said he did not favor Cuba’s annexation to the United States, but strongly favored its annex ation to Mexico, a kindred people. HOUSE RESOLUTIONS REJECTED. The line of action was determined at a special meeting of the Senate committee on foreign relations to-day for the purpose of considering the form m which the Cuban question, should finally be disposed of. After a very thorough discussion it was de cided to adhere to the committees resolution for the recognition of bel ; ligerenc.y and to amend it by adding | Senator Cameron's'substitute, recitest ! injf the President to exercise his ! friendly offices with Spain to secure I tlle independence of Cuba. The Molise [ resolutions were discussed upon the suggestion that it would be advisable to accept them as a substitute for the Senate declaration, but tlio plan was discarded as inadvisable. The com mittee also decided to adhere to the present form of tlie resolution, leaving it concurrent instead of joint, it was arranged that Senator Cameron should offer his resolution as an amendment and that it should be accepted bv Sen ator Sherman on behalf of the com mittee. Senator Sherman declared Weylcr’s. talk of “exterminating the Cubans” showed him to be “a"demon rather than a general.” The galleries broke into loud ap plause as the Senator added: “If this, continues no earthly power can pre yent the people of the United States from going to that island, sweeping over it from end to end and driving out those barbarians.” Mr. Gallinger followed Senator Sherman with a strong appeal for the recognition of Cuban independence. Mr. Lodge announced that the com mittee on Foreign Relations would ac cept an amendment declaring for Cuban independence, and he consid ered this the proper step. Mr. Frye made an earnest speech announcing sympathy with the Cuban cause. Me was. he said, weary and heart sick at seeing this republic do ing police duty for the most wicked monarchy on the earth. lie would, he said, do, say or vote anything t hat would promote the cause of the Cuban patriots. CAFFERY AI.OXE OPENLY DISSENTS. Mr. Caffery took square ground against any recognition of Cuban bel ligerency, declaring the Cuban insur gents had accomplished nothing to justify us in this question. Me ex prenseu uie opinion tnat the cruelty accompanying the war was not con fined to the Spanish army. Mr. Allen followed Mr. Caffery. of fering the resolution of which lie had given notice previously. Then he spoke in support of it, urging Congress to act independently of the president in recognizing belligerency. He de clared Spain an outlaw nation and not entitled to the respect and considera tion of other civilized nations. The time, he said, must speedily come when the bloody hand of Spain must be wrested from Cuba's throat. He declared himself favorable to Cuban independence and would, if need be, support this action with the American *1 arms. _ breaking up parties. Free Silver Threatens Political lleorgnn Ixation. Washington, Feb. 29.—The remark able speech of Mr. Carter in the Sen ate, taken in connection with that of Secretary Carlisle at the Manhattan club in New York a few days ago, lias started a good deal of talk about a re organization of the old political par ties and a division of the people upon new lines. Both the Republicans and the Democrats seem almost hopelessly divided upon the same issue, ami that the most important before the Ameri can people to-day. The parties are united upon every other. .Afore than half the Democrats in Con gress declare that they will not support the candidate to be nomi nated at Chicago unless he pledges himself to free coinage. A considera ble portion of the Republicans say the same concerning the candidate to be nominated at St Louis. Then why. it is asked, cannot those in both parties who think alike get together anil uame men who agree with them? A great many people believe that if dis cussion and division continues much longer that will happen. 'Secretary Morton suggested such an expectat ion upon his part in a newspaper inter view not long ago, and there are those who claim to have n,„ xresment predict a general breakup and reorganization before the end of this administration, but it is not likely that there will be any bolting from either party until after the national conventions are held and the platforms are adopted. The Republican leaders do not ex pect any bolt. Both Mr. Teller and -Mr. Carter, who announced the terms of the silver Senators, declare that they will not leave the Republican party, and that they cannot be driven out no matter who is nominated. “lam a Republican and I always, aspect to be a Republican," said Mr Teller. "I am jus: as good a Repub ctu as John Sherman or tSeomc 1'. Hour, and there is just as much prob ability of their leaving the partv as there is of my leaving it. I have said that I wiH not support the Republican candidate for the presidency unless we can make some satisfactory agree ment on the silver auestion. I think that agreement can be made, but if it is found impossible, l will still con tinue to be a Republican. I do not intend to vote the Democratic ticket, no matter who is nominated on either side. Senator Carter savs: “We are go mg to get together before the St horns convention. The silver men iii Jie Host are not going to bolt the Republican party. There are many Jther issues upon which we all agree ind they would hold us together no natter how much we might" differ on he money question. Nevertheless, ve Western fellows intend to have iomething to say about the manage ment and the policyof the party.
