10 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, APRIL IS. 1898. THE WEEK IN CONGRESS Forecast of the Work Before Senate and House. THE CUBAN RESOLUTION It Will Occupy the Attention of the Senate. But Little Klso Will lie Considered Whllo tlio Action ol the House Still IlomnliiH In l)oiibt--An foment In the Upper Ilrunch ol Congress Tlmt Is AruIhiI the llody's Own Dnolur-ntion-.J.lTcly Session in 1'rohpoct. "Washington, April 17. A majority Tit the senate will prlvo little attention to any other nulijeot until the Cuban question la llnally disposed of In eon Kres. That body having nt'tod upon the resolutions of Independence and In tervention, the question Is not now Jiroperly before It, but there Is such Iti tenso Interest that senators will run tlnuo to t'lve It their Individual at tention until mi adjustment with the house Is secured. The supporters of tin- senate form of expression tire very hopeful that the public sentiment will compel the house to accept the senate declaration, lut they know that the influen tial conservative element Is against them, and they realize that they may be disappointed In the action of the house. In that event they are prepared to stand out against a surrender on the part of tho senate. How long this de termination will hold jrood remains to be developed, but the advocates of the recognition of Cuban Independence re fuse to be convinced that any other course than Its recognition Is tenable. They decline to even discuss the lines of any compromise short of the sen ate's action on this point. Whether they would hold to this If they should find the house equally determined Is not sure In view of the pressure for action." Still many of tho most radi cal pro-Cubans say that Insulllclent action Is no better than no action at all. ACJAINST T1IK DECLARATION. On tho other hand, there Is an ele ment In the senate of respectable pro portions which favors the house reso lutions over those of tho senate and whose influence will be constantly ex erted In the senate against that body's own declaration. The outspoken sena tors who hold this view are the 21 who voted against the resolutions as am ended, and there are probably a dozen more who voted for the declaration as a whole, who are not at heart favor able to it and who would not be great ly disappointed over finding nn oppor tunity to modiiy the senate's position. Thus it Is that while the sentiment in the senate Is not yd sulliclently crystnllzed to Justify positive predic tion there is enough difference of op inlon to present an Interesting situa tion If the house should fail to en dorse the senate's action. Aside from the Cuban question the senate probably will devote Itself largely during the week to the appro priation bills. The sundry civil has has only been partinlly considered and the naval bill Is on the calendar await ing action, There are many disputed points in both bills. SPAIN'S BID FOR SYMPATHY. l'nthotic Note to tliu Tower", Scttiiiu I'nrtli n lllslnry of ('oiiceKiou. I'arls, April 17. Although sympathy for Spain, after the graphic and de tailed accounts of the speeches and scenes nt Washington, which have ap parently lost nothing In plctuiesquc ness by being translated Into the French language, is now more marked than ever before, any idea of an al leged naval demonstration by the Eu ropean powers is absolutely ridiculed in olliclnl circles, and regarded as sheer nonsense. A draft of the note which was drawn up by the Spanish govern ment yesterday and which, according to the present intention, will tomorrow or Monday be formally communicated to the pope and six powers, Is already in the hands of the French cabinet. Tills note is somewhat pompous in phraseology. It begins with a declar ation that Spain, after yielding to the urgent demands of the powers repre senting European Christianity and Eu ropean civilization, has offered in good faith the utmost concessions and sac rifices to preserve pence; that to con cede more would be Incompatible with the honor and dignity of the Spanish people and throne, and would consti tute n national humiliation. In con clusion the document, which barely mentions the United States, exposes confidence in the continued sympathy nnd moral support of Europe and a conviction that the pope and tho now. era will nbsolve Spain from all respon sibility for the consequences which, un fortunately, seem inevitable. The opinion prevails here that Eng land, Frnnce. Germany nnd other Euro pean maritime powers will endeavor to Induce both belligerents to renounce the privileges of Issuing letters of marque, thereby diminishing the det riment to commerce caused by Ameri can or Spanish privateers stopping At lantic liners, for Instance, to search for contraband goods, as both nations, 'not being parties to tho Declaration f Paris, have an undoubted right to do. "BOBBY" MATTHEWS DBAD. The Grent llnie Hull Pitcher Hue en in In to 1'orenln, Philadelphia, April 17. A private tel egram received here today announces the death In an Institution near Haiti, more of "Hobby" Matthews, the great base ball pitcher. Matthews was about 45 years of ago and retired from the professional ball Held in about U90, after fully twenty years' service in the profession, during all of which time ho held a. high reputation ns a pitcher. No other ball pitcher ever held himself In the first class for scarcely mora than half that length of time, Matthews started In as a profession tl away back in tho 'VOs with the Kcklangas of Fort Wayne, Intl.. and In subsequent years played with the Lord tialtlmorcs, Iloston, Mutuals of New York, and Athletics of Philadelphia, and other clubs. Matthews was at tacked with paresis about two years ago and has since been In a llaltlmore Institution for treatment. C0NQ0 RAILROAD COMPLETED. A Locomotive nt Stanley Pool ICIplil Ycnr Alter the (.rent Work llccnn. London, April 17. Tho Congo rnilroad has been completed at last and tho first locomotive has arrived at Stanley Pool. This notable event occurred on March 10 and the news reached tho coast by telegraph on the same day, whence It wns forwarded to Brussels by steamer. Twenty years have elapsed since Stanley wrote that tho vast resources of the Congo could never bo thrown open to the world until u railroad was built around the 235 miles of rupids in the lower Congo. The actual work of grading the road began In March, 1S90, and the great work has thus occupied eight years. The road Is 240 miles In length, and connects the outside world with about 10.000 miles of navigable waters above Stanley Pool. The Congo Is by far the largest river In Africa, both In respect of the extent of its basin and of the volume of water which It carries down to the sea. SPANIARDS WILL GO. Honor Polo Charters ii Htcnmur to Itoinovo Alfonso's Subjects from Tampa to Havana. Washington, April 17. The Spanish minister. Honor Polo, today closed a charter for an American steamer of the Plant line, which will carry prac tically the entire Spanish colony of Tampa, Fla.. to Havana tomorrow. In making tho charter, the minister gave assurances that In case of hostilities the steamer would be cleared from Havana, given ample protection and allowed to return to an American port. The Spanish party will number iOS. most of them being young men, who liavt- offered their services in the Span ish army In case of war. Some women and children are included, as they are n part of the colony making the move, and, It is said, niso that the hostility to Spanish residents in that locality has become marked of late. The consul and vice consul with two assistants will remain at Tampa. This Is the point at which seven regiments of in fantry have been ordered to mobilize within tho next few days, although there is no Intimation that tho depar ture of the Spanish colony Is due to the concentration of United States troops at Tamp.i. The Spanish minister had a compar atively quiet Sunday, finding time to take a diive with the Swedish minis ter, Mr. (irlpne, the two having been, associated here In the diplomatic ser vice twenty-five years ago. Senor Polo received a number of dispatches from Madrid, but they developed no new phases of the question, and did not bear out tho reports that Spain would seek the good ofllces of the United States in case the house resolutions be come a law. No oillelal Information has been received here ns to the re ported negotiation with (ienernl Gomez toward his surrender, although tlieie Is no disposition to discredit the re port. At the embassies and legations rep resenting tho six great powers of Europe, the unusual activity of the lust three weeks was noticeably re laxed as It has now come to be ac cepted In these quarters, that there will be no action, certainly none of a radical character, toward mediation or Intervention between Spain and the United States. While the recent ex change of notes was in progress some of the embassy ofllcers here were open nightly until :i a. in., receiving and sending cipher dispatches in connection with the effort of the powers to get together. This proved unavailing, however, and as one of tho best posted members of tho diplomatic corps stated tonight, "tho nowers have too many troubles of their own to permit them to reach a concert in this affair." The Austrian minister, Mr. Hengel muller. gave a diplomatic dinner to night, the lirltlsh and French ambas sadors, the Russian charge and tho Spanish minister being among the guests. Although the powers were well represented, the gathering was purely of a social character. NEW ELECTRICAL DISCOVERY. Kyclmowftlii'N "Klectrold" Causes a SctiMUicn on the oiitinciii. London, April 17.

Pure Blood Hoods SUMMARY OF SATURDAY'S NEWS. Germany renews its pledge of strict neutrality. Premier Sagasta privately abandons all hope of peace. Minister Woodford at Madrid admitted it was time to pack his trunk. Citizens of Matanzas, Cuba, rebel against newly imposed high taxes on food, which is scarce. Holland submarine torpedo boat goes a mile and a half under water to a deptli of fourteen feet. Archbishop Ireland, under orders from Rome, will continue his negotiations in behalf of peace. Naval board decides 10 buy ten more fast yachts of light draft for use in shallow Cuban waters near shore. Spain orders all able-bodied Spaniards visiting in foreign countries to make arrangements to come home. Diplomatic corps at London abandon all hopes of mediation. England's refusal to participate left the other powers stranded. The American consulate at Malaga, Spain, was attacked by a mob and the American emblem torn down. Premier Sagasta promptly telegraphed an apology. Courier from General Calixto Garcia arrives at Jamaica en route for New York with plans for Cuban insurgent co-operation with American invading forces. Captain General Blanco decides to make another attempt to buy over the leaders of the Cuban insurgents. Claims to have an appoint ment with Gomez and Maso, but this the Cubans deny. ' General Lee will be commissioned as a major general and be put in charge of the first body of volunteer troops sent against Havana. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt wants to go with him as a staff officer. England's decision that coal at Jamaica must be considered con traband of war is considered proof of friendship of the United States, inasmuch as it leaves Spain without any coaling place in this hemi sphere outside Cuba and Porto Rico. By a vote of 51 to 37 the senate adopted the Turpie amendment recognizing the independence of the present Cuban republic, and then by a vote of 67 to 21, it passed the Cuban resolution as thus amended. The full text of this resolution in its final form will be found on tiie editorial page. KINGSTON GETS NEXT CONFERENCE Spirited Contest Between That Place, llinglinniton and Waverly.

A resolution previous ly Introduced providing that no min ister should be elected until he should be thirty. two years, was defeated.

Mogg, of Wllkes-Itarre, presided with cliarmtng grace and dignity. Dr. Saw yer offered prayer and Hev. Dr. Ualdwln. of Xew York, returned missionary from Chlnn, gave tho ad dress. Dr. and Mrs. Ualdwln had trav eled 2S.000 miles In their recent review of the Held. He told of the personal visits to the various missions nnd the schools of the church In the great Chlmw empire. Particularly did he speak of the careful training given the Chinese trlrls In singing, not only hymns but In oratorio. In ono school ho found tho daughter of tho nrst wo man In Central China who unbound her feet. HIIF. WAS TIIK FIItST. The daughter was tho first little girl In all that teglon who was allowed to grow up with unmutllated feet. She and another girl were entered at Ann Arbor, where they were graduated with great honor In medicine. They received a perfect ovation on their graduation and on their arrival in China they were greeted with an explosion of CO.OOO fire crackers by both Christian and heathen natives. They now have a prlvnte hos pltnl in their own land. A description of tho ovungollstlc work followed. A most Inteiostlng tale of a native love feast was among tho details. At 3 o'clock a huslnoss session was called with Dr. L. u Spraguo In the chair. Dr. H, P. Jtaymond, president of Syracuse university, wns Introduced und made a pleasing speech, urging the higher education of young men and women. Following him Hpv. Dr. Murdoek, of Kingston, reported for the board of trustees of Wyoming seminary. He made special reference to Mrs. Caroline Pettebone, who built the new gymna sium for the seminary. The school is In excellent condition and prosperous. Tho reading of the report wns followed by the election of the following trus teees: T. II. Dale. I.. II. Taylor and J. J. Schank. Dr. Hard introduced a reso lution of thanks and blessing to Mrs. Pettebone, which the conference unani mously adopted. About l.::o In the afternoon the stand ing committees began to submit their reports. They did not get more than half way through the list before ad journment. The committees reported In order as follows: ltev. (J. K. Vanwork icported for the bible committee. He reported a decrease In the work of the committee last year. nOAItl) OFCHt'IU'II KXTKXSIO.V. Hev. Dr. Hard reported for the board of church extension, h took a long time to receive the report of the com mittee on conference relations. The re port had to dispose of nil the super numeraries on tho list, but nearly all of them were continued In the same relation as they were last year. Hev. Fred. .1. .Tones wns nllnivcd to with draw from the conference at his own request. The anniversary of the Preachers' Aid society was held Saturday evening and wns attended by the laigest audi ence of the week. Much Interest has been felt In this theme, as It is probable that the work of the agent will ho dis continued, owing: to a lack of support. Dr. Y. C. Smith, the president, presided. Hev. Joseph Madison, of Yatesvllle, offered prayer. The quartette choir of the liroad street church sang. Dr. A. J. Van Cleft, the agent of the society, read the report of the past year. He spoke with emotion of the pathos in the history of the aged preachers and their wives, their depri vations and often actual suffering. The society was organized In 18SS. and since thnt time has raised and distributed much money. He made an earnest idea for greater effort in behalf of the work for tho supernnuated preachers. The fund, through the generosity of noble citizens, was originally $:'(),ooo. Later It has been Increased to about $27,000. Four years ago an ngent was appoint ed. The Increase has not been what was hoped, as the llnanclnl depiesslon has been great, still many bequests have been secured and more has been collected during this year than In tho past two years. Dr. Van Cleft said he had preached 175 times, hud given 41) addresses, sent out 3.000 letters, and traveled S.000 miles. The majority of tiie ministers are In favor" of the soci ety. A few do not believe In securing funds by this means, while some are enthusiastic over the plan, except when a portion Is to be raised on their charge. A few words of tho minister mny turn a bequest Into the society's treasury. Theie is strong need of con tinuing tho work and many laymen are Interested. ItE-V. MH. SKVKHSOX'S ADDHKSS. Hev. O. ti. Severson made an eloquent address on the same subject. He told of many Instnnces of pitiful poverty in tho fnmllles of worn out preachers. Ho plead that an Inspiration would over take the ministry of the Wyoming con ference that they would make nn earn est stand for this great cause and that tho church membership would also unite in these efforts. Dr. Smith told of tho history of the society, saying that on tho board of stewards were as good men as there are In Pennsylvania. Some mistnkes had been made, hut the efforts had in tho main been well directed. IIu was about to retire from the presidency of the society and hoped that his last words in its interest would be heeded. Hevs. ,lnv. Hace and Thomas sang a beautiful trio before the session. Pimples, MotcliM, blackheads, red. rouch, oily, niotliy sltln, itching, scaly scalp, dry, thin, and fullim; hair, and h.by lIomlhcs proventcil by Cuticl'iia SoAf, tho most offectlvo skin purlfyliiij ami ho.iutlfying wup in tho world, at well as purest and Eweetoat for toilet, bath, and uursery.

On the platform with the bishop were Dr. C. M. Glllln, ISevs. .1. O. l.eacoek, Thomas Harroun, Samuel Moore and 51. H. Hard. A chorus oholr sang an anthem. Hlshop Fowler conducted a response reading of the twenty-third poalin. Dr. C. M. Olilin, of Him Park church offered prayer, ltev. .1. H. Sumner announced the hymn "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Dr. Hard made a plea for a collection, after which the bishop nnnounced his text from I.uke, 7. S, and preached a sermon long to be remembered by the spell-bound listen ers. The subject was a favorite one of the eminent speaker, that relating to the ever-present force of the super natural In the world. The text was "For I also am a man set In authority, having soldiers under me. and ' say unto one, go, nnd he goeth. and u another come, and he cometh. anil to another do this, and he doeth It."
