NO MILITIA ORDERED OUT BY THE
PRESIDENT.
RECOGNITION FOR CUBA.
The President Is Expected to Boon Issue
a Proclamation Recognizing the Bel
ligerency of the Patriots The
Cession of Cuba to England .
Would Be Resisted by
Uncle Sam.
Washington, Jan. si. A flat denial
is given at the War department to the
report from Florida that the depart
ment has requested the governor of
that state to put the Florida troops in
readiness to take the field at a mo
ment's notice. In the first place, it is
said the President has no constitution
al or lawful authority to make such a
request, and in the next place there is
no emergency that would justify the
calling out of the 1,200 men who make
up the Florida militia.
The rumor was current here and
elsewhere in the East last night that
President Cleveland had learned that
Spain, despairing of a successful ter
mination of the war, had offered to
sell Cuba to Great Britain. The rumor
seemed to be confirmed by dispatches
from Florida. The governors of the
Southern states, according to advices,
had been requested by the War de
partment to prepare the State militia
men for immediate service. Troops
were reported on the move in Florida,
and the belief was held in some quar
ters that the flying squadron of Great
Britain was destined for service in
American waters.
The cessation of Cuba to Great Brit
ain would certainly be resisted by the
United States and on these grounds
sensational war predictions were sent
out. -
Nothing is known at the depart
ments about the alleged offer of sale
of Cuba. However, a crisis has been
reached in the Cuban war and Presi
dent Cleveland is said to have pre
pared a proclamation, which may be
received in the near future' rec
ognizing the belligerency of the
patriots. The President, it
is declared, intended to recognize
the insurgents last week, when he
learned of the recall of
Marshal
Campos, but under the circumstances.
the executive thought that such recor-
n ; : : 1 .3 v i i .
nitition would be
rcgarueci as irtOp-
portune and unfriendly to Spain, and
he therefore withheld the important
document, pending the appointment of
a successor to Campos. Now that
Campos has been retired ; there, is ap
parently, no reason for withholding
it longer.
Coupled with the rumor of pending
negotiations for the cession of Cuba to
the English crown comes an additional
assertion that President Cleveland
may go beyond the original proposi
tion and recognize the independence
of Cuba. This, however, must be
taken with a large grain of salt.
, There is an important distinction be
tween independence and belligerency.
Belligerency can be recognized when
insurgents have established themselves
on a basis of apparent permanen
cy by having military establishments
able to cope with the armies
of the parent country and having es
tablished a form of government. In
dependence, on the other hand, ac
cording to the principle and invaria
ble practice of the United States, is
recognized "only when the legal gov
ernment of another nation, by its es
tablishment in the actual exercise of
political power, is supposed to have re
ceived the express or implied assent of
the people."
The London Globe's Arrogant Talk.
London, Jan. 2L The Globe this
afternoon in an article condemning
the attitude of the United States Sen
ate committee on foreign affairs, says:
"The English people will not stand
much more flouting from anybody,
and these gentlemen, whom we credit
with no more exalted sentiment than
the wish to stand well with their Irish
constituents, may very easily find
themselves face to face with a situa-
tioft that could only be called appalling-V
President's Reply in the Bayard Matter.
Washington, Jan. 31. -The Presi
dent sent to the House his reply to the
resolution calling upon him for in
formation as to what he had done
about the matter of the speeches de
livered by Ambassador Bayard. He
transmits copies of the two' speeches
in iun ana aiso copies ol the letters
from Mr. Bayard, explanatory of them,
No action was taken by the President
on the speeches, except to notify Mr.
Bayard of the action of tne House.
lis Destination Not Decided.
London, Jan. 21. In spite of the as
sertion of a sensational rumor to the
contrary, the British admiralty says
that the destination of the flying
squaaron, now at opitneaa, is not yet
determined upon even by the admir
alty and that certainly it will not go
to .Bermuda or any where m American
waters for the present.

KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP.
the Rival Candidates Hard at Work Mar
shaling Their Forces.
Fbamcfort, Ky., Jan. 2!. Although
the leaders of both parties had agreed
mai mere snouia De no Dauounsr lor
Senator till February 4, or until after
the successor of Wilson had qualified,
yet the nominees of the caucuses seem
to be so suspicious of each other that
they are marshalling their forces here
for balloting in both houses separately
Tuesday, and the friends of Hunter
are claiming he will be declared elect
ed Wednesday. Some Republican Sen
ators insist they will join the Demo
crats in postponing the election until
after Wilson's successor arrives, as
there was authority for the agreement.
Some of Hunter's most ardent sup
porters think the scheme to postpone
the election of Senator was a trick in
the interest of Bradley or Yerkes, and
say that they will, therefore, not
abide by it In addition to the opposi
tion from those who want to stand by
the compromise agreement, Populist
Poor has become estranged from
Hunter, but says he will never go to
Blackburn, so it does not seem possi
ble for any election of Senator to
occur this week. The deadlock be
tween Hunter and Blackburn with
their fighting friends on the ground is
expected to make trouble. Both sides
are very determined and suspicious.
SCHOOL TEACHER KILLED.
Henry Foust Dies of Injuries Inflicted by
Two Popils.
Drkxkl, s Ma, Jan. 21. Henry
Foust, teacher of Prairie View school,
five miles northwest of here, died last
night from injuries which were in
flicted upon him some days ago by two
of his 16-year-old pupils. Foust, it
seems, severely punished Arthur Bish
op for some misdemeanor in school
Young Bishop's father was so angered
by it that he gave a knife to his son
and instructed him to use it in case the
teacher attempted to punish him
again. The next day the teacher
started to whip the boy and the latter
tried to carry out his father's instruc
tions, but the knife was knocked from
his hand. At this point, another boy,
Earl Dunington, interfered and as
sisted Bishop in beating and kicking
the teacher into insensibility.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 21. Rev.

Centbalia, Mo., Jan. 21. Three
tramps visited this city Saturday
evening and, after becommg some
what intoxicated, began to disturb the
peace by entering stores, restaurants
and barber shops and threatening the
lives of several citizens. They were
locked up by the city marshal. Less

J REBATE INDICTMENTS
Santa Fe Officials Hast Stand Trial, bat
the Shippers Go Free.
Chicago; Jan. 21. In the United
States court to-day Judtre Grosscuo
handed Hn-n n nninlnn n
to quash the indictments in the Santa
Fe's alleged violations of the interstate
commerce act.
The indictments were upheld in part
and quashed in part John A. Henlev,
general trafflo manager of the Santa
Fe, and ex-President Binehart of the
road were adjudged to have been
properly indicted on two counts.
The indictments against Isaae
Thorapsou, a Kansas City shipper, and
Manager Jenkins of the Hammond
Packing company, were quashed, the
court holding lack of sufficient pres
entation of facts to show that they
had resorted to a "device" to secure a
less than the regular rate of shipment.
These decisions are in effect that a
shipper could not be held for violation
in accepting a rebate and form the
first legal interpretation of that part
of the interstate commerce law mak
ing shippers equally liable wish carri
ers to a violation of the law in dis
criminating, Henley and Einehart will not submit-
without a stubborn fight and
probably an appeal to a higher court
A NEW DEATH DEALER.
Fires Four Hundred Shots a Minute as
Long as Desired.
New Yobk, Jan. 21. A new auto
matic rapid-fire gun has been adopted
by the Navy department after careful
and exacting tests. In its operation
the gases of the power are utilized to
throw out the empty shells and
feed in the fresh cartridges. The
whole machine, after one movement
of a lever by hand, is worked by the
expansion of the gases without inter
fering with the efficiency of the explo
sive in propelling the bullet The op
erator merely sets the gun up on a
three legged platform, trains it on a
given object and pulls a trigger like
that of a pistol, and the gun goes on
firing. A continuous fire may be kept
up at the rate of 400 shots a minute as
long as may be desired.

great excitement near Hall's Station,
Wilkinson county, over the mysterious
assassination of Rev. Warran Powers,
a well known country preacher. He
was called to his door at night and
shot, falling dead in the arms of his
wife. The suspicions of the officers

Red wine May Be Pardoned.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2L Advices
received from Washington seem to
leave no doubt that President Cleve
land will grant a pardon to Lewis
Redwine, now in the Ohio peniten

but little more than one year of his
seven years' sentence. Redwine was
in the center of the biggest sensation
Atlanta has ever known. His defalca

Gate City National bank, and that, it
has always been believed, was re
sponsible for the suicide of Tom Cobb

CANNIBAL PLANTS.
Bom of tne Characteristics of Thoal
Anomalies of the Vegetable Kingdom.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: II
has been proved time and again that
the so-called "canlbal plants," of whlcl
the Venus flytrap Is the type, are mucl
more healthy when allowed their regu
lar Insect food than when they aw
reared under netting or In any othei
manner which excludes them froa
their regular meat diet. The above li
an oddity of Itself, especially whea wr
consider the fact that there Is a cer
tain school of botanists which teachef
cannibal plants make no use whatevei
of the Insect prey captured by them,
but it is nothing compared with th
bold assertion made by Francis Darwin
That noted scientific gentleman bravely
meets the "vegetarian botanists" witb
the assertion that all kinds and classes
of plants, whether known as "meaters"
or not, bear more and heavier fruits and
seeds when fed on meat than those that
are not allowed a flesh diet. He grew
two lots, comprising various varieties ol
the different common plants. One lot
was regularly fed (through their roots,
of course) with pure juices compressed
frota meat, the other wl'h water and
the various fertilizers. The final fig
ures on this odd experiment proves that
the plants which were fed pure meat
Juice bore 168 fruits of the different
kinds, while the unfed plants of the
same number and original condition
bore but twenty-four. Also that the
pampered plants bore 240 Beeda to every
100 borne by the plants that were not
given a chance to gratify cannibalistic
tastes. , This Is certainly a discovery
worthy of much careful study and ex
tensive experiment. .
THE KAISER AND THE TRAMP.
William Gives a Hobo Some Money and
Advice.
An anecdote of the kaiser and the
tramp has Just appeared In Berlin pa
pers. Bays the Pall Mall Gazette.
Kaiser Willam was, it seems, lately
staying at the Jagdschloss Huberstock,
near the Angermunde, and was one day
shooting in that neighborhood. A
tramp descried him from afar, and, not
knowing It was the emperor, accosted
him with the usual German request for
unterstutzung or financial propping
up, and also wished to be directed as
to the road to Angermunde. The kaiset
complied with both requests, conversed
with him at length as to his personal
and professional views of life, and dis
missed him with the wish tor a pleasant
end to his day's Journey. The pleasant
end was in the police station, for one
of the kaiser's servants, who seemed
to be of the Scotchman's opinion that
It was "an awfu' like business for pulr
fouk tae luik at a king," imagined
that the emperor had been insulted and
telegraphed far and wide for the arrest
of the pilgrim, with accompaniment of
bonds, fetters, handcuffs, and bo on.
The wanderer was run to earth at An
germunde, when he learned several
things that he did not know before
inter-alia, that he had been speaking
with the kaiser and was guilty of high
treason, anarchism and the like. Need
less to say, he was speedily released by
an Impetuous telegram from the em
peror, who ordered that he should be
fed, comforted and have a free ticket
to Cuxhaven, "where he told me he
wanted to go."

PRISONERS ON THEIR HONOR.
Kasy to Manage If the Officer Baa Theti
Good WilL
Jasper Ramey, one of the moonshin
ers now In Jail here, walked twentj
miles to give himself up to the rev
enue officers, says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
This is not uncommon In
the mountain counties. A number of tht
deputies who make periodical visits to
the counties of Pike, Knott, Magoffin,
etc., have little trouble In arresting thi
men they are after, while other officers
have W fight for their Uvea.
It is told of one of the deputy mar
shals that whenever he wants a man
be simply writes a letter to him inform
ing him that an Indictment has been
returned against him and that he
wants to met him on a certain day
at a neighboring town. Some of the
letters wind up like this: "I also have
warrants for several of the other boys
(naming them), and I wish you would
see them and tell them that I will be in
on and for them to be there."
It Is said that many of the men make
their appearance at the place and time
designated.
Several deputy marshals who go to
the top of the Cumberland for prison
ers occasionally let the men "tend their
crops" while they are under arrest. The
officer goes through (he country, meets
the man and' says:
"Tom, I've a warrant for your arrest"
an rignt; I've been 'spectur it."
"I know you've a big crop, though,
and as court don't meet before Octo
ber, you can 'tend your crop and com
up to Louisville Just before court
opens."
Then the man would return to his
work and at the appointed time he
would be in this city ready to answer
to the charge against him when his
case was called.
Several months ago one of the old-et-t
of the deputy United States mar
shals in Kentucky walked up to, the
door of the county Jail and asked for the
Jailer. He was introduced to Mr. Watte
and said:
"I have three 'shiners' that I brought
from Magoffin county. As we came on
the train I left my 'mltimuses' in my
saddle bags and when we came out of
the coach I forgot my saddle bags. I
want to know if you will let me put up
these prisoners in Jail here without the
papers? I will get the 'mltimuses' in
a few days and it will be all right and
proper."
Jailer Watts told the man he would
accommodate him because of his bad
luck. "But where are the prisoners?"
eald the jailer.
"Oh, them! Well, they're out In town
someplace. We came in yesterday and
I told them they might knock about
the city until I arranged It with yon
for them to go in here. I'll go and look
them up and bring them In."
In about an hour he returned with
three typical, mountaineers, who said
they had enjoyed looking at the Bights
of the city very much. They had never
been in Louisville before and thought it
a great eat to be able to "ride thar
free," fc.n though they came as pris
oners. No Indian Wars In Canada.
The great fact stands boldly forth
that Canada has never fought the In
dians and she will not begin to do M
now. Never has Canada bad an In
dian war; an Indian massacre is un
known in the annals of her history
She is too poor to seek glory by slaugh
tering the natives born of her boII and
too proud to defame her character oi
stain her escutsceon.
- Contrast with this the policy of th
United States, that is nearly alwayi
lighting its red men. Indian wars art
very expensive matters to deal with
The small episode of last year, begin
ning with the messiah craze and ending
with the tragedy of Pine Ridge agency
covering but a few weeksj cost tht
United States government $2,000,0001
besides the lives lost, and in additioa
unsettled the natives throughout tht
country. It is to the credit of the Ca
nadian Indians that, although sorel)
tempted, the messiah craze had ni
charms for them.
There was In Canada, it is true, Riel'i
first rebellion that cost Canada $7,000,
000 and the lives of some of her noblest
HI lzenK. Rut thai was not an Indiai
uprising. Nevertheless, it taught botl
the white men and the red men a lesson
It taught Canada that it would tx
cheaper to ration all the Indian tribei
than to have another rebellion and il
taught the Indian the prowess of tht
authorities, and this was emphasizes
by the trips given the Indian chiefs t(
Ontario, where they beheld tokens o.
the power, wealth and glory of th4
white men. Westminster Review.
Mark Twain's Series of Mishaps.
Mark Twain's lecture tour in the an
tipodes is proving highly successful,
but, according to the Australian papers,
he had a series of set-backs at the
start, which probably , have afforded
him some quiet chuckles since. His
agents had engaged a hall at Hono
lulu in which ha was to lecture while
the steamer he was traveling to Aus
tralia on was in port Eight hundred
seats were sold. But when Mark Twain
arrived he found he could not land at
Honolulu on account of the cholera. As
soon as he arrived in Australia he was
laid up with a carbuncle, which kept
him in his hotel for a week. When he
got well, and everything seemed smooth
ahead, his manager was put in quaran
tine at Adelaide and kept there four
teen days because the steamer on which
he arrived had smallpox aboard. Bnt
Mark went ahead without the man
ager, and let him catch up after he got
out of quarantine.
