NAPLES— SaiIed: Werra, from Genoa to New York, via Gibraltar. The Salvation Army is having a taste of real war at last. Meteorologically considered, Good Friday might have been much better. Gov. Bradley .will soon reach Class Z with Messrs. Cullom, Davis and Man derson. Under the Raines excise law the New Yorker who wants a free lunch will have to buy it. The harmony in New Hampshire is not of the variety most enjoyed by Hon. Bill Chandler. Czar Reed was himself again yes terday. He had to count a quorum to push business along. Pennoyer, the leading crank of the Pacific coast, is alive and has just been nominated for mayor of Portland. At any rate, Chicago is no worse than Detroit. An alderman has been in dicted in the latter town for soliciting a bribe. President Kruger, by his offer to aid England in Matabeleland, shows himself to be a man with a keen sense of humor. Greater New York is going to have a whole lot of work keeping the lesser New Yorks marching in step behind the band. Strike one will be called on the St. Paul club this afternoon in Dubuque. In the meantime,* the ice is stiffening up at Aurora park. Mr. Castle says there will not be an other Democratic president in eighty years. There will not be one, but sev eral, Mr. Postmaster. There must be a lot of hard citi zens in Brooklyn. One of them fell ninety feet from a building the other day and was not injured. The blow which the Raines law has given the clubs will force several score of New Yorkers, young and old, to again learn the taste of water. A New York girl bleached her hair and went crazy. . This «is merely a tip to girls .who are revolving the ques tion of hair bleaching in their minds. Chauncey Depew is still talking, al though he isn't saying a great deal His latest Is: "Presidents, as a rule, are not made out of early favorites." Just as long as the table is able to contain the balk line it appears that Mr. Ives will be able to _ show his friends something new about billiards. When the energetic but uncivilized people of Matabeleland get through with the British lion's tail it will look like one of the flourishes of Aubrey Beardsley. . The latest proof that the number 13 is unlucky came the other evening at a New York billiard match, when a player fell dead as soon as he had run a string of 13. • The steel combination is not a trust; only a mutual agreement "to curtail production, advance prices and freeze out small people. The distinction is a very nice one. ' - — . If William . McKinley should ever have the good fortune to get in a po sition to want a cabinet, he is not likely to be in any hurry to send for James S. Clarkson. It is evident the American line steam ers should learn more about America.' All of them except the St. Louis have recently run aground while coming into the port of New York. CUBA %m WAITING MR. BOUTELLE PREVENTED; A VOTE ON THE CUBAN CONFER- ENCE REPORT. - 1 r . : DAY DEVOTED TO DEBATE. DAY DEVOTED TO DEBATE. SPEECHES MADE BY MR. HITT AND SPEECHES MADE BY MR. HITT AND THE GENTLEMAN FROM MAINE. AN IMPORTANT RULING BY REED. AN IMPORTANT RULING BY REED. He Has Changed His Mind as to He Has Changed His Mind as to What Constitutes a Quorum of the House. WASHINGTON, April 3.— The house today revived the agitation of the question of Cuban belligerency in connection with the conference report of the Cuban resolutions. It was not expected that there would be much debate, but Mr. Boutelle, by his vigorous opposition, prevented action today, and the chances now are that the debate will run all day tomorrow. Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs com mittee, in presenting the conference report, made a temperate speech, in the course of which he expressed the greatest confidence in the president, although the resolution, being concurrent, had no binding effect on the ex ecutive. He, in fact, refused to entertain the suggestion that Mr. Cleveland might not recog nize the belligerency of the Cubans as a result of the adoption of the resolutions. In this connection Mr." Patterson (Dem., Term.), who is recognized as one of the administration leaders, made a significant statement. "If the Cubans are united," he said, "in the cause of independence, they are entitled to autonomy, and if the United States would in terfere to prevent Spain from acquiring new territory in this hemisphere, why should we not interfere to prevent her from retaining territory by subjugation?" The galleries of the house were filled in an ticipation of the renewal of the Cuban debate in connection with the presentation of the conference report on the Cuban resolutions, but the attendance on the floor was smaller than usual. After some preliminary routine business had been transacted, Mr. Pickler, chairman of the pensions committee, de manded the regular order. This being pri vate bill day, he wanted to proceed with the consideration of private pension bills reported from the committee of the whole. Mr. Hltt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, thought he ought to antagonize these bills If they would entail debate, in the interest of the conference report on the Cuban resolutions. "Cuba can wait," replied Mr. Pickler, "while we pass these pension bills." Mr. Hltt finally agreed to withhold his motion, if Mr. Pickler would demand the previous question- on each bill as it -was called up. The Democrats insisted that there ought to be debate, and Mr. Erdman (Dem., Pa.) promptly made the point of no quorum on the first bill, with the result that there were some dilatory tactics on these private bills, and the speaker was compelled to count a quorum on them. . On one occasion when Mr. Erdman made the point of no quorum, the speaker made the Important ruling; that 178 constituted a quorum, thus deciding that a majority of the living members was a quorum instead of a majority of the full membership of the house, a point raised in the Kentucky sena torial fight. This question has never been absolutely settled. In the Fifty-first con gress Speaker Reed held, that a majority of a full house was a quorum. Mr. Richard- son called attention to the importance of the ruling and asked if the speaker Intended to reverse his decision; in- the Fifty-first con gress. The speaker replied that he did. He ex plained that his former ruling - was made hurriedly on the side of safety. After thor ough examination . he had concluded that a majority of living members was a quorum. He cited several authorities, among others that of Reverdy Johnson. At 2:25 p. m., Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, called -up the con ference report on the Cuban resolutions. Mr. Hltt moved the adoption of the report in a vigorous speech reviewing the whole Cuban question. He was several times vig orously applauded. Mr. Swanson (Dem., Va.) asked if the res olutions would carry. with them the recogni tion of Cuban belligerency. Mr. Hitt replied that they would not of themselves, but he had no doubt that they would lead to the recognition of the Cubans by presidential proclamation. "I do not believe," said he, "that the president would be so blind to his duty as to disregard the expressed wish of the representatives of the people. I have heard that the president is the agent of the people and not their ruler." (Loud applause.) As Mr. Hltt concluded Mr. Hyde (Rep., Wash.) asked him whether, if the president refused to take any action on the resolutions, their effect would be nil. Mr. Hltt replied that he declined to entertain such an hypoth esis, a response that was greeted with tu multuous applause. - 7.'* Mr. Boutelle (Rep., Me.) who has steadily orposed the passage of any Cuban resolutions, then took the floor. He said he had never regretted his course and he thought his atti tude had been vindicated by subsequent events. This proceeding was a remarkable illustration of "how not to do it." The res olutions had no legal effect. They amounted to nothing. That had been proclaimed in the senate and was well understood here. Mr. Hitt denied * emphatically that It had ever been admitted in the senate that it would have been impossible to pass the resolutions again in that body. It was admitted that a vote could have been obstructed, but he declared emphatically that there was in the senate an overwhelming majority for each and ail of the resolutions. Mr. Boutel'e, continuing, argued that public ardor on the question had cooled and the there was no proof of the existence of the fact of Cuban belligerency. He taunted the committee with . having refused to make the resolution joint and insisted that it was clear ly understood that the president did not favor belligerency. He did not pretend to voice the whole public sentiment of the country, but he did represent the conservative element that deprecated foreign broils ' that might eventuate in a foreign war. .7- ? After Mr. Boutelle concluded, Mr. Smith, of Michigan, secured a minute in which to read the declaration of the Massachusetts Repub lican convention on the Cuban question. Mi*. Skinner (Pop., N. C.) closed the debate for the day with a brief speech in favor of tho adoption of the conference report. Without action, at 5:10, the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. '■'.?'., 7 '■■:; ';-'■*■ At the session ' tonight eight pension bills were acted on favorably. Mr. Erdman was at tacked for blocking. pension bills. -In -his re ply, he referred to the bills passed during the afternoon as "a feast spread for deserters and bounty jumpers." : HAWAIIAN CABLE. _ Amount of the Government Subsidy Cut Down by the Committee. WASHINGTON, April 3.— The Pacific cable project was once more the. subject of discus sion by the- house committee today. ? Mr. ST. PAUL MINN.: SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1896. Bennett, of New York, presented a substitute bill, embodying several amendments which had been suggested by members in former discussions. It was the sense of the commit tee that instead of the subsidy of $160,000 asked by the Pacific Cable company, a New York corporation, the government should not aid it in a greater sum than $100,000 a year for twenty years, and that government busi ness should be done free for all time. DULUTH STILL PROTESTS. Proposed Bridge Bill Not Acceptable ln Its Present . Form. Special to the Globe. WASHINGTON, April During the last week or ten days the two Minnesota sena tors and several of the Minnesota members of the house have received communications from clubs, associations and organizations in the city of Duluth, relative to the bill intro duced by Congressman Towne, for a bridge across the St. Louis river, between Duluth and Superior. -These communications, many of which are in the form of a protest against the Towne bill, in its present form, Slave been presented in the senate and house and referred to the proper committee. The latest communication on this subject which has been received comes from the Duluth Com mercial club, and is as follows: "Whereas, The bill introduced in the house by Mr. Towne, Feb. 20, 1896,. to amend an act entitled, "An act to authorize the con struction of a steel bridge over the St. Louis river between the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota, providing among other things for the levying and collection of tolls for the passage of all traffic over said bridge, except ing employes and apparatus of the fire and police departments of the cities of Duluth and Superior when in actual service, and, "Whereas, the rights of the public as af fected by the granting of the franchise for such a bridge would seem to demand freer and more liberal use of the same for the ordinary purpose of travel and traffic, there fore be it "Resolved, That it is the sense of the Du luth Commercial club that public policy de mands that the bill provide for the free pas sage over said bridge of all foot passengers, biccycle riders, wagons and vehicles of all kinds not within the privileges granted in the case of the fire and police departments. As will be noticed the resolutions do not protest against the bill in general, but sim ply express dissatisfaction with the omis sion of a provision for the accommodation of foot passengers. It is probable that if it be comes necessary to do so, Mr. Towne will alter the bill so as to meet objections of the associations of Duluth, which have adopted resolutions relative to the bill. rXff HARBOR BILL. Generous Treatment for the Bier Projects of the Northwest. WASHINGTON, April 3.— The river and har bor appropriation bill was finished today by the house committee, which has been working on lt most of the session. The total amount carried by the bill is a few thousand less than ten millions, or about one million below the bill of the last congress. There are also pro visions for contract work to the amount of about fifty million. Among the appropriations of special interest to the Northwest is that for Duluth and Superior harbor at the west end of Lake Superior, which is to .be given contracts for $3,080,500, and $50,000 for contin uing work, $30,000 to be expended on the Du luth and $20,000 on the Superior section.

WASHINGTON, April 3.— lt is expected that within a few days a decision will be rendered by the secretary of the Interior upon the claim of South Dakota to 5 per cent of the sale of lands upon the Big Sioux and other Indian reservations in that state. This decision will be unfavorable to the state, and it will only be allowed 5 per cent upon commuted entries, which will only amount to a few thousand dollars. Lamont Denies. WASHINGTON, April Secretary Lamont, when asked today concerning- a published statement that he had in his possession a letter 'from President Cleveland declining to be again a candidate for the presidency, and urging the Democratic party to stand for sound money and its previous position on the tariff question, said that the statement was absolutely untrue. ...;'. . •-' Populist Turned Down.

Harrison, was decided today in favor of Gen. Harrison, the sitting member. The decision was by a unanimous vote. Voorhees a Little Better. WASHINGTON, April 3.— The continued ab sence from the senate of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, has given some concern to his friends, but it is stated by members of his family that his condition is perhaps a little better of late than it has been for some weeks.

FLOOD GATHERED IN THE GORGES. When It Was Loosed in the Valley' Nothing; Conld Stand Before Its Fatal Force. BOONVILLE, Ky., April 3.— The cloudburst on Little Sexton and Buffalo creeks did more damage than at first reported. Instead of four, there were sixteen drowned. Sexton creek rises near Burning Springs and is one of the feeders of tho south fork of the Ken tucky, river. It flows in some places through deep gorges surrounded by rocks. . Through these gorges the stream rushes when in flood tide with the speed of a race horse, and striking the bottom lands below, spreads out with wonderful rapidity. The cloudburst oc curred in the gorges, the water gathered in a moment and the wild flood poured down in a • solid wall, carrying death and destruction in its path. Five people were drowned by the Little Sexton. Buffalo creek is even more crooked and tortuous than Little Sexton and by its action after the burst nine people are believed to have lost their lives. A great many logs were hurled ' down with the tide and these speedily knocked the cabins and outbuildings to pieces. .7 The dead on Buffalo creek are: Mrs. George Gepson and three children, Will Burns' two children, Miss Mary Garrett, two unknown. Fatally wounded in drift, Mrs. John Crane. John Crane, a rafter, managed to ride the drift and rescue his family. His house was lost. George Gepson's house below was car ried away and his wife and his two children perished. Will Burns' house went out on the water and two children were lost Llge Garrett's daughter, Mary, was drowned, and two unknown people also lost their lives. ' . On Sexton creek and its tributaries five were drowned: ' Capt J. S. J. Bull, Mrs. Wade Marders and child and two unknown people. Jackson county suffers heavily, as did Clay and Owsley. It was the most disastrous flood in years, and came so "quickly that it is a wonder any of the valley people escaped. _ _^. — : — ; :* EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE. .Witnesses in. the Freund Case Weak- . en ■ the Suicide Theory. Special to the Globe. ' - - FAIRMONT, Minn., April 3.— The evidence on the part of the state ln the Freund-Ober case was resumed this morning , at 9 o'clock. Findley Palmer was called as a witness for the state,* and testified that he was with the party searching for Clara Ober and found the hat she had worn on the dam, and shortly, after found the body in the pool below. He got a boat, and, with a companion, went out and brought the body to the shore. The body was in an upright position, when found, but, on approaching shore, when the feet struck the bottom, the body fell backward. He then waded into the .water, and brought the body out in "his" arms. The day before this he had seen Freund and Clara Ober talking' together. Dr. Hunt was sworn, tor the state, and testi fied that he had made a post-mortem exam- ination of the body at the request of the cor oner. - He found discoloration on the neck and other slight injuries; found the lungs, filled with water, and water in the stomach; was positive that Clara Ober had come to her "death by drowning. Mrs. Randolph was sworn for the state,* and testified that she had seen Freund pass her house on the evening before the drowning, going towards the river. He had a bundle under his arm. She did not see ■ him . return- J. . A. Craning, called . by state, testified that his business* was that of an un dertaker in Blue Earth City; that Clara Ober's bedy was brought to his undertaking room the afternoon it was found. He had charge of • the body from, that time until burial; found marks on her neck, chin and under the left eye. M. M.

Charles King, sworn for the state, testified that he had assisted in finding the quilt, and corroborated Mr. Freer's testi mony as to finding the quilt. Lewis New- mann, sworn for the state, testified that he lived near the mill site, and was the owner of the mill property; heard the scream of a woman about 2 o'clock a. m., then another scream, which seemed to be cut off short, as by someone placing a hand over the mouth; was at the dam next morning, but saw noth- ing. Court adjourned until 9a. m. tomorrow. COL. NAFF NOT DROWNED, But He and His Party Had a Narrow ":- ■''-■ ■' Escape;, I CROOKSTON, Minn., April 3.— The report of the drowning of Col. A. F. Naff, special agent of the interior department, proves to be un- true. Col. Naff reached civilization last night, and says the report came from the fact that all went through the ice on Rainy river, as stated, but after four hours of work the men and horses got ashore. The balance of the outfit was lost. The pine thieves whom Col. Naff went to look after establish camps on the American side and float the logs down the border to mills at Rat " Portage. Numerous attempts have been made by the land office to effect the capture of the guilty parties. Three spe cial agents and assistants made a thorough and persistent effort to find the men several years , ago, and individual agents have had general instructions ' looking to this end all along. This was the case with Col. Naff, who was ordered last summer by Commissioner Lamoreaux to investigate the matter when feasible. The thieves had been quiet after the preceding Investigations until this winter, when they realized their last opportunity had come, because of the early opening of Red lake lands, and were claimed to have started their old camps. PIERRE BONDS ARE VALID. Taxpayers Lose in a Snit A era inst the City. Special .to the Globe. " PIERRE, S. D., April 3.— Judge Gaffy today rendered a decision in a case in which Sarah C. 'Henderson brought suit to set aside certain tax sales and to restrain the city from the col- lection of taxes on property in this city. The main question raised was that the city in- debtedness is in excess of the statutory limi tation. On this the Judge holds in effect that since the bonds have gone into the hands of innocent purchasers it is too late to raise that issue. That a remedy was open at the time of the issuance of the bonds and if there was any case it should have been brought at that ' time. The payment of thousands of dollars of j taxes have been hanging on the decision; and i it means a great deal to the city as well as to the holders of city securities. Forgot Election Day. Special to the Globe. WINONA, Minn., April B.— a queer cir cumstance the Trempealeau village election has gone by default. It has been customary to hold the election the Wednesday after the town election. This would go all right usual- ly, but this year it doesn't. The charter says "the election will be held the first Wednesday In April," so the election, to be legal, should have been held -Wednesday, April 1, of this week. .Such a circumstance only happens once in eight years, but April fooled everybody in Trempealeau this year. To "remedy the mis- take, Village Clerk Babbitt has had to call a special election, to be held April 11. " " Madigan'n Appeal Heard. REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., April 3.— The application of ex-County Attorney M. M.

"— — THEY REGARD THE ACTION OUt THEY REGARD THE ACTION OF THE DEPUTIES AS THE TEST. { BOURGEOIS WOULD NOT EXPLAIN* Told the Senate Members They Must Be Satisfied With What the Deputies Knew. V .-...-'. : ...''*'■.' * PARIS, April 3.— anticipation of the de- bate upon the foreign policy of the govern- ment, the senate was crowded today and many deputies, as well as most of the mm isters, were present. In supporting the pro- posal of Mr. Bissenit, to defer interpellations until after the holidays, - the premier, M. Bourgeois, declared he could not add to the explanations on the Egyptian question which had been furnished on Tuesday. He added that the government yesterday had obtained, by a vote of the chamber of deputies, proof that the majority of that body were assured it had sufficient authority to pursue the pending negotiations. A vote in the senate today might lessen the authority given the chamber of deputies, and therefore, he beg- ged the senate, in the name of France, to postpone all interpellations until the reas sembling of parliament. In spite of this ap- peal, a motion to defer the interpellations was defeated, whereupon M. Bourgeois de- clined to reply to them. M. Milliard stated that the explanations of M. Bourgeois were as inadequate in the chamber as in the senate. He added that the j resignation of M. Berthelot, the former mm ister for foreign affairs, had deceived no - one. All the world, he asserted, understood that M. Berthelot's retirement . was an ad- mission of blunders committed. M. Milliard offered the following resolution: "The senate, noting the declaration of the government that it cannot add to its expla- nations of Tuesday on the Egyptian ques tion, and considering these explanations in- sufficient, refuses it a vote of confidence."' The resolution was adopted by a vote of 155 to 85. All the ministers left the senate after the passage of the vote of non-confidence and the senate almost immediately afterwards adjourned until April 21. After leaving the senate chamber, the ministers met at the Quai d'Orsay, in order to discuss the situ- ation. They separated at 6 o'clock, but main- tamed secrecy in regard to the result arrived at. At the close of the discussion, however, M. Burgeois went to the Elysee palaca In - order to see President Faure. 7 7 Later it became known that the cabinet had decided that . the successive votes of con- fidence of the chamber of deputies made it the duty . of the government to continue in office and , M- Bourgeois "so 7 informed tb| president. •>.,,.- - . ■"' " '■ — •' aw "l' —r* '"^ JURY KIND TO GRACIE. , .'
