There were many whose names I could hanllv recall: But with hints from tho showman I man- aired at last To recognize some In the number we passed.

The second good luck by his neighing did bring In proclaiming his fortunate rider a king. Then tho steed who the battle had heard far awnv Brought the chief and his army, and thus saveu tne day. The fourth and the last was a conqueror's pride. And a city was named after him when he died. We next saw a tortoise, low Though lazy and He claimed that he once killed a man with a blow.

Washington, May 19. Senslor Muslim llvered a fiery address on Cuba when the Morgan belligerency resolution was lied up. w He had been previously advertised as eadlng a combination or senators pledged to prevent action or prolonged discussion until a vote can be reached on the resolutions. In anticipation of something sensa- lonal the galleries were full, ana near ly every senator In town was In his seat. Senator Mason made the point that the president's relief message was a recognition by the highest authority In the United States that a state of war existed In Cuba and that It was the uty of congress to still further em phasise the presidential declaration. Mr. Mason read President McKln- ley's message to prove that a Btate of r exists In Cuba. If there Is not war," he snld, "then re ought to be with us." He said the Americans In Cuba need- ed to be defended with bayonets as ell as with bread. He referred to Senator Wellington's reference to our Indebtedness to Eng land and said that he, too, acknowl- rdged the Indebtedness. Thank God," he exclaimed, we set tled a small part of It at Bunker Hill. nother part of It we settled here In the senate two weeks ago. This latter remark was directed at the defeat of the arbitration treaty and as the first public reference to It In the senate. Senator Mason later on said d , thereby horrifying -the dlgnilled senate and shocking the proprieties. It was the cause of a tilt between Senators Wellington and Mason. Ihe Marylander disputed the statement by Mason that at the time Washington as at Valley Forge the Colonial gov ernment was not worm any moro limn Is that of Cuba today. Mason reiterated his statement and eclared that on the occasion referred to the Colonial government wasn t worth a "continental damn." This irreverence threw Wellington nto a white heat, and he vigorously de nounced the utterance as a falsification of history. The dialogue between the new sena tors aroused eager Interest. The sena tor from Illinois gave all the entertain ment expected of him, and the Welllng- onlan Interruptions only added seat to the performance. Then Mr. Mason read from reports sent to the senate by the committee on foreign relations In support o' his state ment that a Cuban government exists Mr. Wellington was elected on the nlatform of Independence for Cuba." he said. So was I. So was Mr. McKin- ley. And I am here to stand by lt so long as I continue on the payroll." He said that during the last campaign he had felt the pulse of thousands of people and was satisfied there was a eep general Interest among the people i the Interest of Cuban freedom. He was for Cuba, not for commercial reasons or for the acquisition of terrl tory after the English fashion, but for better reasons. Mr. Mason predicted that this coun try would yet develop a Lafayette for Cuba. Speaking of the newspaper reports of the Cuban war, Mr. Mason defended them as In the main correct. He said hat 60 per cent of the men Who had gone to Cuba to write of the war had lost their lives. He proposed to vote on the resolution If it took all summer. Cuba was popu ar at St. Lnuls when the party wanted votes, and he appealed to Republican senators to stand by the declaration. Mr. Mason said he did not believe the adoption of the resolution meant war; but, If an honest protest meant war, let It come. He was followed by Mr. Hoar of Mas sachU3etts In opposition to the resolu tlon, who counseled temperate action. Mr. Hoar spoke In his usual calm and dignified style, and took occasion to de ride buncomb appeals to constituent. and braggadocio as to our national strength. Mr. Hoar's criticisms, al though Impersonal, were clearly alined at Mr. Mason. Senators Oallinger of New Hampshire and Hawley of Con nectlcut also spoke, the former for the resolution and the latter urging that the United States should not rush Into war while our coast defenses are manifestly nadequate. No final action on the res olution was taken. Past Week's rroeeedlntii. Washington, May 13. In the senate the sugar Investigation of 1894 was re called by the Introduction of a resolu tlon by Mr. Alien of Nebraska propos ing that Klverton R. Chapman be brought to the bar of the senate to purge himself of contumacy as a pre requisite to pardon. Mr. Allen sought to secure Immedl ate action on the resolution, but it went over on objection from Mr. Galliiigiir of New Hampshire and Mr. Hoar of MaS' sachusetts. The latter criticised the resolution as giving away the author! ty of the senate and said he would pro. pose an amendment, with a view having Chapman punished unless he purged himself of contempt without reference to the question of pardon Washington. May 14. The senate again had under consideration the case of h-lverton R. Chapman, the contuma clous Sugar trust witness, and after spirited debate the matter was referred to the Judiciary committee. The Indian appropriation bill was dts posed of by the house with the excep lion of the provision for opening the Utah gllsonlte lands, which was post poned until Monday. Washington. May 18. Ths president yesterday sent a special message to con gress calling attention lo the distress of American citizens In Cuba and ask ing for an appropriation of M,000 for their rcll-f. .The Beiiaie took up the matter promptly upon the receipt of the mes sage, and on motion of Mr. Davis, chairman of the commltee on foreign relations a bill was passed without division appropriating $50,000 for ths relief of destitute American cliliens In Cuba. In the house Mr. Hitt, former chair man of foreign relations, asked unani mous consent for consideration of a bill appropriating JOO.OCt) in response to Ihe president's request. Mr. Railey of Texas asked for consent to consider in connection with the bill an amendment embodying Senator Morgan's resolution fur recognition of the Cubans as bellig erents. Mr. lilhKley would not consent to consider the bill without the amend ment. Roth were tenacious, and the deadlock could not be bruken. Finally a motion to adjourn until Thursday waa carried by a vole of mi to 71 substan tially a party vote, the Republicans voting f,,r adjournment and the Demo crats against II. McKlnlfy's Cnbnn roller. Washington, May 18. There Is hardly a well Informed public man In this city who does not think that the wedge that will separate Spain from the possession of the last of her American colonies was Inserted by President McKlnley when he sent his message to congress asking relief for Americans who are In distress on the Island of Cuba. Those who are close to the president ssy that behind this conservative mes sage Is a realisation that he must anon Interfere to stop the war. The very condition which he says exists on the isinna is the reason for it. The president has said since his mes sage went In that the giving of relief i only a temporary measure. If the ar Is allowed to continue as lt is now conducted, lt must result in the total devastation cf the Island and the ruin a large American Interest. The president's plan of Interference as not been formulated, but he Inclines o the most friendly efforts at first to Induce Spain to withdraw under some rrangement that will satisfy her hon or. If she declines to do so, lt Is believed to be his purpose to step In and make the stopping of the war the business of the United States. The advisability of a protectorate over Cuba is being discussed by the president, not only with the members of the cabinet, but also with several busi ness men for whose Judgment he has great respect. A NEW NAVAL TKKllOIl HOLLAND'S SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT IS LAUNCHED. The Strangely Constructed Craft Is Re garded as the Most ER'pctlve 8?a Fight ing Uevlce Alloat flreat Secrecy Main tained as to Her Mission, Ellzabethport, N. J.. May 18. The Holland submarine torpedo boat has been successfully launched at the Lew is Nixon Crescent shipyards. Mrs. Lewis Nixon broke a gayly dec orated bottle of wine on the nose shaped Dow of the craft and exclaimed. "1 christen thee the Holland." As the cigar shaped stern struck and burled Itself In the waters of Staten Is land sound a cheer arose from the spectators, which quickly changed to exclamations of anxiety as the odd look ing craft continued to disappear under tne water, until It looked as though the Holland was bound for the bottom of the sound. The next Instant anxiety gave way to loud shouts and whistling of steamers as the turret and about 2 feet by 15 of the deck of the torpedo boat ap peared on tne surface of the water. The Holland was towed to the dock, where she will be completed before any sutimartne experiments are made. Mr. Holland was greatly pleased over the successful launching. The launching was made as secret as possible, lest everything should not work right. No one was admitted to the yard other than the employees and several friends of Mr. Holland and half a dozen newspaper men. There was no representative from the United States or any other government. The original Intention to have one of Mr. Holland's assistants launched In the boat was abandoned, and no one was aboard when the Holland left the ways. The only decoration was a small American flag on a temporary flagstaff attached to the small turret of the Hol land. Mr. Holland and Mr. Nixon refuse to state for whom or for what purpose the torpedo boat Holland Is destined. The craft, about which there has been bo much speculation and mys tery, Is the Invention of John P. Hoi land. Mr. Holland has been wrestling with the submarine boat problem for ten years or more. The vessel Is the fourth he has made. The first, launch ed In 1S77, was a small affair and not n unqualified success. Then Mr. Hoi land put In Ave years more on a second attempt that never even came to launching. Two years later a third, that promised everything desired, was smashed In the launching. Besides the present boat a similar one Is now building in Baltimore. lMineuelons.of the Craft. The Holland Is 50 feet S inches long, with a 4 foot screw protecting exten sion. Its diameter Is 10 feet S Inches amidships and the molded diameter 10 feet 3 inches. It can travel under wa ter eight knots an hour for eight hours and ten knots on the surface. The power comes from a gasoline en gine and a dynamo, the latter to be used when submerged and the former when the boat Is sailing along on the surface. It will take barely one minute to sub merge the boat and not much longer to raise It to the surface of the water. The armament consists of three tor pedo tubes, one at the upper bow of the boat being an aerial torpedo throw er, with a range of one mile. Six pro jectiles, weighing 180 pounds each, with charges of 100 pounds of explosives, are to be stored for this gun. Almost directly beneath the torpedo thrower la an expulsion tube for White head torpedos. Only three of these tor pedos will be carried, as each one weighs 850 pounds. At the stern of the boat is a submarine gun which, with a 100 pound charge of explosive, can hurl a 400 pound projectile 100 yards or more through the water. Five of these pro jectiles will be carried. The craft will be manipulated by a crew of Bix men. Workmen will get the craft In shape at once, and she will have her trial trip down the bay as soon as possible. Three foreign powers are said to have made overtures to secure the craft In case It proves a success, but it Is likely that the United States government will get lt In case lt comes up to expecta tions. The government has already offi cially Indorsed the patents pertaining to the boat, and the navy department has had an official at the shipyard sub mitting repirta constantly on the work of construction.
