When (hr Session opened to-day the gullerie were well tilled in anticipation of n re newal of hostilities, hut business *<* n was directed into routine channels, with the understanding that the San guilly resolution would c-oine up as soon as the business was finished At 1 o’clock the •Sanguilly resolution esme up again and the galleries were ]lacked, Air. I’et'.lgrew uttemptc 1 to go on with the Indian bill and moved that this la; done, hut it was held that the Cuban resolution hud the right of way. In the confusion Mr. Frye, who had stirred up the galleries yesterday, stepped into the middle aisle and said that he hoped that tiie Nangullly resolution would bo allowed to go to the calendar without further discussion. Mr, Lodge said the pardon of Suii guilly did not end the matter. There were many similar eases burled in the secrecy of the State department. Diplomacy hud taken twenty-three months in the Sanguilly ease, while the Senate iu a single day had brought n pardon. Mr. Call spoke of the Ruiz ease and presented n resolution calling for in formation on it, hut it went over on objection from Mr. White. Mr Male urged the necessity of giv tng all ilie time possible to appropria tion bills iu order to get them through. Mr Morgan replied that Mr. Hale had threatened to lltibuster on the .Sangullly resolution. Mr. Morgan spoke at some length on tin' Cuban question. Mr. Morgan refused the yield to in terruptions by Messrs. Iloar uiul Hale, saying that Mr. Hour could not inter fere with him under the prestige of his fume and position, lie eulogized Consul (ieneral Lee u, n man of cour age and honor. Mr, Morgan said that the only in formation of .Sangullly'* pardon eume from the newspaper*. Nothing was received from the state department. He dlil not wonder that the President desired to conceal Ins policy from the American people. MESSAGES FROM LEE. Tin* Consul lieosrsl Denies Insult Tales — Ills Alleged Message lo Ollier. Havana.

The committee, therefore, decided to press the consideration of the resolution. .HANOI II. Id V A 1‘1‘K A ! WITIIDKAWV.

The Cuban resolutions were taken up promptly bv the Senate to-day. Tin- lirst was that of Mi-.

It seem at to he the disposition of Spain to pun ish every American citizen in Cuba, it was a story of barbarity and atro city. Recently a lady had been ar rested by Spanish officials and roughly searched. Little- girls had been gath ered un in I uba and sold into the worst conceivable slavery. Spanish soldiers had taken infants by the heels, hacked them to pieces and killed tlie parents. Such action was a blot on the civilization of the age. Why should • ongivs* remain supine'.' The time would com- w hen this inac tion would make Americans hang their heads. Mr. Morgan said the committee on foreign relations had pressed forward this protection to American citizens as fust as the well authenticated facts would permit. The reports of atroci ties against women ami little girls were vague and did not have that verification warranting actum by the committee It had. however, brought forward the resolution fur the immedi ate release of Sanguilly. as the faets in the cum- were well established I, \ olid i|Uvst win Mr Morgan felt that s.» -.tv action was essential.

The Democrats gave him a roil ml of hearty applause, the people in the galleries craned their necks and took up the demonstration, 'there , were several wild shouts.

There was a rertaln rich woman WlK> hail two daughters, and the younger said unto the mother: "Mother, yield unto me that portion of your wealth which is my heritage." And her moth er did even so. observes the New York Herald. And it came to pass that the young woman gathered together tier bicycle repair kit and her heritage and Journeyed into a far country, which was Kansas, the land of cyclones and emancipated women. And the multi tudes of emancipated women gathered about her in exceeding great numbers and gave unto her the merry hand, for she was possessed of exceeding great wealth. Moreover, they were struck with the mannish cut of her nether gar ments. And they jollied the young woman mightily and nominated her for governor. And she stumped the state and spuke speeches, which were In scribed for her by a notary. And soon she had wasted what her mother had given her In ice-cream and trolley par ties for her constituents. And when she hud spent a 11 she became wroth In the collar, for she had lost the election and those who had fawned upon her In prosperity now sat upon the seat of the scornful and greeted her with the* marble heart. After she had suffered awhile she bethought herself of her mother’s house and tin* hot biscuit, which tier father used to Irak'*. And sin* lifted tier voice and wept and rent iter bloomers in twain and said: I will arise and go unto my mother." And slip did even so. And it came to pass that on th** evening of the fourth day, as she was pedaling wearily up the bicycle path leading to iter horn * her mother saw her from afar off and ran to greet her and fell noon her ne. !< and kissed her. And the wanderer cried: ‘ Mother, I am no longer worthy to he called thy daughter, for I had great wealth anil yet was defeated In poli ties," ' But her mother sought to soothe her and gave unto her a new bicycle lamp and a cyclometer. And said unto the servants: "Bring swell raiment and order mut ton, with peas on the side, and we will eat, drink ami he merry, for the wan derer Is returtud ami she that was lost Is found." And stringed Instruments discoursed the sweet strain* of "She May Have Seen Better Days.” and tin serving man, as he shuffled to und fro. hummed softly to himself, ".lust Tell Them That You Saw Me." And they fell upon the mutton and devoured it as one man and with exceeding gusto, and the only discontented one in the whole multitude was their neighbor, who mourned the loss of a dog. But the serv ant man spoke as one having authority, saying: "Our neighbor's loss is our gain." And It was even so. HOUSES IN LONDON AND BER Till* l'ori»M*r \V«*r»* \ir> Inrouvc’filtMH, Affording t<» Moltkc*. 1 live at Berlin In a house where there are eight families, each of course Inhabiting a separate part, says "Molt ke's Letters to His Wife." Only the In evitable piano practices break through the harriers, and that Is certainly not less the case here, where the walls are so thin, than with us in our more mas sively built houses. The only real dif ference consists in this, that the “cas tles" of the Kugllshmeu are built up close to one another, while ours- are above one another, and that in eon sequence thereof we have our rooms all oil one floor, while theirs occupy sev eral floors. One can safely assert that by far the larger number of the houses in London have frontages of only two or at most three windows in width. They live on the middle door, take their meals on the ground floor and sleep on the upper floor. As a consequence, there is a total absence of reception rooms. Should any one wish to invite tin- court to a hail, lie lias to gc; a large temporary room erected in tin court-yard for dining purpose*, another as a retiring-room for tin- qu* -u. while the refreshments are to be t’ouud hi rve.l on the ground floor, ilmi is It one aue ceeil* In g -lli.ig down the narrow stair ease.

Speaking in a broad and general way. an 1 admitting lhat every one it liable tj misspelt a word of tho Knglish language at some time in hit life, spellers, says tho Month’s t 'ompanion, may he divided into two classes tho ••stioicj spellers” and tlic “weak spellers." What “strong spelling" means may b.- illustrated by the orthographical maxim anil practice of an excellent gentleman who is now dead. Ills rule was: “Never misspell a word for the want of putting in enough letters . ” Act ing on this principle lie spelled girl gearle, do doe, and get gette. This trail would seem to indicate a liberal disposition, and this gentleman was certainly a very liberal tnfndeJ man. His “strong spelling" (lid not prevent liitn from serving the public accepta bly in several capacities. Another strong speller always in sisted upon writing tlu word ••pomps" thus: perhapse. Though be was frequently remonstrated with and repeatedly told that there was no liual e on the word lie continued to spell it that way. A thoroughly “strong speller” always seems to be accorded a certain sympathy and even admiration by those who ordi narily spell correctly, while a “Weuk speller” Is always laughed at. What “weak spelling"’ means muy 'ne illustrated by the case of a gentle man who recently wrote “enthusi asm” thus: entheusatn, and who gen erally spelled “suggest” soji-st.
