He spoke of the fact that the news Papers and every sort of information from Cuba told of the heroic struggle of that body of devoted patriots for freedom. "Yet." said he. "diplomacy " prates or autonomy. Autonomy for tho bird when the snake is ready to strike: autonomy for the lamb In the fangs of the wolf: autonomy when the maiden is at the stake and the fagots are "burning: If it is right that wc should interfere wo should do so on tho lilsh ground that free men should aid free men In their struggle for freedom.

It will then go back tb theV house; for a conference. "While tho bill has many i friends in the lower branch; it is well V known that Speaker .Reed does not regard - it with much favor. The extent of the fight that will develop over the question ot concurrence will depend on tno men whom he appoints on tho -conference com mittee on tho part of the house. The, ex penditures of this congress have so far exceeded the limits of practical economy that the watchdogs, who regnrd tlie free homes bill as an act of! extravagant legis lation, will probably make a vigprous ef fort to squeeze the homesteaders; to pay for the lands they occupy. On" the freo homes side In tho house is the venerable ex-Speaker Oalusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, who Is the father of tho original homestead bill. His resolution fixing a day for Ihe consideration of the bill is aow pending before the committee on rules. Friends of the bill say that. If they can secure consideration for it they can pass. It through the house without tho promised alt! of the senate. In either event it seems probable that tho free homes bill will become a law this congress. NO TREATYJfOTE LIKELY. Senators Generally Disposed to Let It Go Over Until the Spe cial Session. Washington, Feb. 13. The discussion of lhe arbitration treaty in the benate lo-d-jy took: the course ot a constitutional de Lute. It was precipitated by the presenta tion of. an amendment by Senator Turplc. of Indiana, to the first article of the treaty, providing that ail questions to be Mitmitted to arbitration must be con sidered and proposed by the treaty making povitr. the president and the senate. This was the amendment referred to "by Senatot Hherman yesterday" which he said the com mittee on foreign relations would propose. While It was not presented as a com mittee amendment, it had tire sanction ol the majority of the members of that com mittee x fctnator Turplo stitrd that Iio did not think that the amendment was necessary, but it was presented to meet the apprehen sions of some senators who feared that the yrnate would be stopped from all par ticipation in questions arising under the treaty Senator Gray, of Delaware, opposed the nm(idment on the ground that it was a radical departure from the precedents ol the past, and that, in fact, it extended the powers of the senate far beyond anything conlimplatcd by tho constitution. Senator Iodgo answered Mr. Gray and asfrtol that the amendment would not enlarge tho powers of the senate, but would preserve Its right as a part of the treat making power of the government. Then there was a general discussion ot the constitutional question, involving the sub ject of the iower of 2-enatu and the prc locative of the executive. Nearly all the senators who tailed had something to say ntvmt the dllllculty ot giving tne treaty the coniderailon its importam-c demanded at this session, and wero of tho opinion that It would bo bet ter to have it go over until tho next ses sion. About t o'clock Senator Hill took the floor and said that he thought the senate was tired, that it was tlmo to adjourn. The senators desired to givu some atten tion t their correspondence. They had been 'lied down very close for a week, and wcro entitled to a part of Saturday. He moved to adjourn, but upon the appeal of Senator Sherman the motion was voted down. Tho Ohio senator then discussed tho treaty for a. few minutes, answering some ot the objections made, and talking Kcnerally of the advantage of the general principle of arbitration. Senator Hill then raised tho point of no quorum, and. as many of the senators had left tho hall, a quorum failed to appear and tho senate adjourned. It is believed that Senator Sherman may again seek Io get consideration ot the treaty, but tho temper of the senators is euch that they will not allow ntljcr busi ness to be put aside. Senator Sherman, it is understood, would like to have a vote on the treaty If possible, and. falling In that ho would like tq have a vote on the question of postponement Short. Open Senate Session. Washington. Feb. 13. The session of the senate, with the exception of twenty min utes, was devoted to executive business. Before tho doors were closed.

He expects to secure .thd qrder before Tues day morning, the time 'set for the execu tion. The principal point that will be urged In support of tho demand for an or der transferring the case to the United States supreme court is that the state su ipremo court went outsldo of the evidence giwn at the trial of Duestrow tor his dou ble crime in making up its decision denying a new trial and affirming the verdict of the jury that found him guilty of murder and imposed the death" penalty upon him. It will be set forth that thc. state supremo court cpjoted evidence given at tho priot trial, at which time tho sanity" of Duestrow was determined by a jury, which was. not a part of the record of the trial for murder.

Contlnned From First Page. state university has, however, stamped all your utterances with tho ineffaceable brand of insincerity anH falsehood. In such ac tion you throw oft tho hypocritical mask of honesty you have been wearing and show yourself to bo the veritable wolf of dis honesty, wholly 'unmindful of tho welfare of this great institution ot learn ing. In this appointment you have done violence to your oath, you have out raged decency, forfeited all claims to hon esty and fairness, insulted the intelligence of the people, and assassinated tho greatest educational interest of the state. You havo placed at tho head ot a great educational institution a man who, less than two years ago, was publicly discharged from tho same place by a legally constituted tribunal be cause of his drunkenness and Immorality, impeached because of his evil and vicious example. You havo given this jnan place an-1 power whom you know to be ignorant, intemperato and irreligious; obscene, vul gar and immoral; profane, uneducated and intolerant. You have, with autocratic power and anarchistic disregard for tho forms of law which with uplifted hand you swore to protect, set them at defiance, trampled upon tho verdict and judgment ot a regularly constituted court, taught tho doctrino ot disregard for law and the judg ment of courts and rendered yourself tho subject of contempt from tho people, whose sovereign ruler you hao proven yourself unworthy to be. There Is no honest excuse for your conduct. You did it knowingly, willfully and purposely. You havo by this act merited the condemnation your conduct will receive. Within and among the files of your offlco Is tho abundant record of this man's unfitness. You knew It from th3 records, when you mado tho appoint ment; you knew it from tho numerous pro tests you received from reputable Popu lists from his own county; you knew it as a part of tho history of tho state, and yet, with total disregard for the welfare ot tho slate and her Institutions, you defied pub lic opinion. Ignored the Interests of an out raged but deceived and Intelligent constit uency, overrode tho law, trampled upon morals and common decency and Invited criticism If not aroused suspicion as to tho motive which prompted you to so far for get your manhood and your position. You havo exhibited such an aversion for de cency as to forfeit the respect of all moth ers who have sons to educate, all fathers who have a vote to cast and all citizens who havo a pride in our institutions, and convince tho most confirmed skeptic that there Is something in tho doctrine of total depravity when applied to an accidental governor of Kansas. You will hear from tho people of Washington, whoso feelings you havo outraged nnd whoso respect you havo forfeited, later.

A tine of $000 Is provided for each violation. The farmer contingent of the Populist sldo started In to oppose tho bill. If it ijouid bo'amended so ns to apply only to corporations, and exempt the farmers, they would vote for It. but they did not want any .legislation that would interfere with the farmers in discharging help. Fqlrchlld, Populist, of Kingman, took occasion to roast tho farmer contingent in lino style. Ho said ho had observed that tho farmers were always in favor of any 'bill directed against the corporations, but that they were so selfish as tb oppose the bills which could In any manner affect themsclies. "This bill." said he. "will not work a hard ship 'on any honest or decent farmer, and I am surprised to see so munv of you op posing It You go to your Populist con ventions and there adopt ;i long scries of resolutions of sympathy for the laboring mar. in order to catch his vote. Then when you are elected, and come to the legisla ture, a change of spirit comes over you. At the very first opportunity you talk and vote against a measure In the interests of organized labor. You are too narrow-minded. Let mo warn you: Vote down this bill and tho Populist partv Is doomed." While many of the Pop farmers attempt ed to reply to Falrchild's remarks, yet when the vote was taken, it. showed that his roast had saved tho day. and the bill was recommended for passage, i RESUBMISSJ0N IN SIGHT.

On Tuesday afternoon tho house is also to' vote on the Initiative and referendum resolution. This follows tho vote on re submission. The Populists wil support the referendum resolution almost to a man, whllo, there are a number of Republicans who will vote for It in case tho resub mission resolution fails, because that will be the next easiest way to get the liquor question before tho peoplo again.

It is almost certain that' thero will bo no con gressional apportionment bill pass at this setsion of the legislature. Tho elements are against it. If left to the house, a bill would readily pass, but in the senato it is different. Thero are too many congres sional aspirants in the upper house. Each ono wants to arrange Ins district so that his chances for the placo will bo increased. The houso redisricting' bill Is by no means satisfactory to the senate. And tho senate bill, if one is agreed upon, will not lie accepted by the house. The senate wnnts to cut Jlitchell nnd Jewell counties out of the Sixth district and. add them to the Fifth. The houso bill leaves tho Sixth tho same as it is at present. Speaker Street will oppose any bill cutting Jewell and Mitchell counties out of tho Sixth, lie imagines that he stands some show of beating McCormack out of . the- Populist nomination for congress two years hence, and ho wants those counties left, as they aro Populist strongholds. Then there Is a light in the Seventh dis trict Jerry Simpson is In favor ot redis ricting tho state, as it will take some ot the counties from his district whero tho Populists are against him. On tho other hand, Jerry's enemies his Populist em-mlt-s aro opposed to anything that ho fa vors, and they are quite numerous In and around the legislature. A well known Populist, who Is In a posi tion to know -what ho is talking about, boldly asserted to-night that there was no danger whatever of a bill redisricting the btato being passed at this session.

Knnsaa City Likely to Be Made' llnppy i Populist Roxclle Take Charse of State La bor Bnrenn. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 13. (Special.) Somo subtle Influence has been at work among certain members of the houso ju diciary committee. On Friday, the com mittee submitted a report recommending tho passago of tho Horse Breeders' Asso ciation bill, prohibiting pool selling except upon racetracks, and making night and winter racing illegal. Representatives Clarke, ot Jackson county, and Rubey, of Macon county, made a minority report, la which they said tho bill ought not to pass. It is now said that six of tho eleven mem bers ot tho committee aro opposed to tho bill and will join with Messrs. Clarke and Rubey In recommending that it do not pass. As tho present laws ot tho state are said to be inadcmiato to accomplish the sup pression ot the poolrooms in Kansas City and St. Louis, It this bill Is killed tho gamblers who aro running these places In the two cities will be made happy. "Whether tho horse breeders' bill Is or Is' not the proper measure to suppress tho pool rooms In Kansas City and St. Louis, the peoplo of Missouri who aro not identi fied with the gumbllnp Industry are de sirous that this legislature stamp out these places. It is doubtful, however. If this leg islature enacts any law that will put an end to pool selling or any other form of gambling. DEM0-P0P ECONOMY. It Una Failed to Make Much, of a Shovr of Itself at Jefferson City So Far. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 13. (Special.) Thero was a long discussion in tho houso to-day over tho appropriation bill. Tho Demo-Pops., who have been boasting of tho economy they were going to inauguu- rate, failed to make their boasts good. They saved tho state $000 by reducing the salary of the adjutant general's clerk from $1,500 to $1,000. They also refused to appro priate $8,000 to supply tho supreme court with stenographers. These two Items con stitute tho entire Demo-Pop. economy of the legislature up to 'tho present time. It is expected that a few hundred dollars more will be saved before the session Is ended. As an offset to the saving of JS.D0Q on the adjutant general's clerk's salary and supremo court stenographers, tho houso appropriated $3,000 to pay for copy ing tho field notes of tho swamp land sur vey In the oillce of the secretary of state.
