CONGRESS AND CUBA. SENATOR MASON MAKES AN EARNEST PLEA FOR THE PATRIOTS. President McKinley Sends a Special Mfs sage Asking For Relief of American Citizens on the Island Senate Votes an Appropriation of !§.->(),OOD. Washington. May 19.—Senator Mason delivered a fiery address on Cuba when the Morgan belligerency resolution was called up. lie had been previously advertised as heading a combination of senators pledged to prevent action or prolonged discussion until a vote can be reached on the resolutions. In anticipation of something sensa tional the .galleries were full, and 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 slate of war existed in Cuba and that it was the duty of congress to still further em phasize the presidential declaration. Mr. Mason read President McKin ley's message to prove that a state of war exists in Cuba. "If there is not war," he said, "then there ought to be with us." He said the Americans in Cuba need ed to be defended with bayonets as well as with bread. He referred to Senator Wellington's reference to our indebtedness to Eng land and said that he, too, acknowl edged the indebtedness. "Thank God," he exclaimed, "we set tled a small part of it at Hunker Hill. Another 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 was the first public reference to it in the senate. Senator Mason later on said "d ," thereby horrifying the dignified senate and shocking the proprieties. It was the cause of a tilt between Senators Wellington and Mason. The Marylander disputed the statement by Mason that at the time Washington was at Valley Forge the Colonial gov ernment was not worth any more than is that of Cuba today. Mason reiterated his statement and declared that on the occasion referred to the Colonial government wasn't worth a "continental damn." This irreverence threw Wellington into 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 Welling - tonian interruptions only added zest to the performance. Then Mr. Mason read from reports sent to the senate by the committee on foreign relations in support o f his state- I ment that a Cuban government exists, j "Mr. Wellington was elected on the ! platform of independence for Cuba," hf ! said. "So was I. So was Mr. McKln ley. And I am hero to stand by it 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 deep general interest among the people in the interest of Cuban freedom. lie was for Cuba, not for commercial reasons or for the acquisition of terri tory after the English fashion, but for better rea%ons. Mr. Mason predicted that this coun try would yet develop a Lafayette for Culm. Speaking of the newspaper reports of the Cuban war, Mr. Mason defended them as in the main correct. He said that 50 per cent of the men who had gone to Cuba to write of the war had j lost their lives. He proposed to vote on the resolution if it took all summer. Cuba was popu lar at St. Louis 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 sachusetts i?i opposition to the resolu tion. who counseled temperate action. Mr. Hoar spoke in his usual calm and dignified style, and took occasion to de ride- buneomb appeals to constituents and braggadocio as to our national strengih. Mr. Hoar's criticisms, al though impersonal, were clearly aimed at Mr. Mason. Senators Gal linger of New Hampshire and Hawley of Con necticut also spoke, the former for the resolution and the latter urgingthat the United States should not rush into war while our coast defenses are manifestly inadequate. No final action on the res olution was taken. Past WCCU'H Proceeding*. Washington, May 13.—1n the senate the sugar investigation of 1894 was re tailed by the introduction of a resolu tion by Mr. Allen of Nebraska propos ing that Elverton R. Chapman be brought to the bar of the senate to purge himself of contumacy as a, pre requisite to pardon. Mr. Allen sought t<i secure immedi ate action en the resolution, but it went over on objection from Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire and Mr. Hoar of Mas sachusetts. The latter criticised the resolution as giving away the authori ty of the senate and said he would pro pose an amendment, with a view of 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 Elverton R. Chapman, the contuma cious Sugar trust witness, and after a spirited debate? the matter was referred to the judiciary committee. The Indian appropriation bill was dis posed of by the house with the excep tion of the provision for opening the Utah gilsonlte lands, which was post poned until Monday. Washington, May 18.— I The president yesterday sent a special message to con gress (ailing attention to the distress of American citizens In Cuba and ask ing for an appropriation of $50,000 for their relief. The senate 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 the relief of destitute American citizens in Cuba. In the house Mr. Hltt, former (hair man uf foreign relations, asked unani mous consent for consideration of a bill 1 appropriating $50,000 in response to the president's request. Mr. Hailey of Texas asked for consent to consider in connection with the bill an amendment embodying Senator Morgan's resolution for recognition of the Cubans as bellig erents. Mr. Dingley would not consent , to consider the bill without the amend ment. Both were tenacious, and the deadlock could not be broken. Finally a motion to adjourn until Thurs lay was carried by a vote of 90 to 71—substan tially a party vote, the Republicans voting for adjournment and the Demo crats against it. Mclllnley's Cuban Policy. 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 McKinley wl.cn he sent his message to congress asking relief for Americans who are in distress on the island of Cuba. Those who are close 10 the president say that behind this conservative mes sage is a realization that ho must soon interfere to stop the war. The vo y condition which he says exists on the Island is the reason for it. The president has said since his mes sage went in that the giving of relief j Is only a temporary measure. If the war is allowed to continue as it is now conducted, it must result in the totai devastation of the island and the ruin of a large American interest. The president's plan of interference has not been formulated, but he inclines to the most friendly efforts at first to induce Spain to withdraw under some arrangement that will satisfy her hon or. If she declines to do so, it 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. BILLS SIGNED BY BLACK. New Vtrk'B Governor Gives IIH Approval to Some Important Liiactiiicnts. Albany. May 14.—Governor Black has signed a bill affecting every village in the state and which has been two years in preparation. It is a general revision of village laws and provides that an enumeration of the inhabitants of each village shall be taken under direction of the board of trustees in the month of January, 1898, and in the same month each fourth year thereafter. This enumeration is taken for the purpose of establishing under which classifica tion the village shall come. The new law is to take effect July 1. Some essential changes are those divid ing the villages into first, second, third and fourth class—first class containing a population of 5,000 or more; second, class, 3,000. but less than 5,000; third class, 1,000. but less than 3,000; fourth class less than 1,000. Governor Black has also signed the new labor law, a codification of the present labor laws, with some few amendments, and the accompanying bill providing that infringement of (he laws by manufacturing establishments and employers shall be penal offenses instead of mere misdemeanors. One of the most important parts or the new law is the amending of the weekly pay ment law to make it more stringent. Heretofore it has been found difficult to enforce the law, because the actions against corporations who violate had to be brought by the state factory in spector through the attorney general to recover for the state the penalty of $25 for each violation. The present law provides that if a corporation violates the law requiring weekly payments it shall forfeit to each employee the sum of $25. to be recovered by him in in dividual civil suit against the company. There Is no penalty now for the refusal of the proprietor of any factory or work shop to allow the factory inspector to visit the establishment, but the present bill provides a penalty of SIOO for such refusal. The bill provides for a free employment bureau to be established in Buffalo similar to the one in New- York city. Albany, May 19.—Governor Black has signed two bills of great interest to the railroads and incidentally to the people at large. Chapter 500 of the laws of 1891 is the so called antiscalpers bill, which absolutely prohibits the selling of railroad and steamboat tickets in j this state except by agents authorized in writing to make such sales by the owners of the vessels or trains or com panies operating them, and then they shall sell tickets only In the towns where their written authority gives them permission to make sales. Bnfr.ilo Officials on Trial For Bribery. ~ Buffalo, May 18.—Thomas F. Maloney, superintendent of the bureau of streets. 1 at present under suspension by the board of public works, has been placed on trial in the criminal term of the supreme court before Justice Spring on an indictment charging an attempt to bribe Superintendent William S. Bull of the department of police. The in- i dictment alleges that on the 27th of ' June last Superintendent Maloney at- i tempted to induce Superintendent Bull ! to grant Immunity to a gambling house. : Karri ion Cottage Sold to Wanamakor. Cape May, May 18. —John Wanamak er of Philadelphia has purchased the cottage at Cape May Point which he and others presented to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison during the Harrison admin- j Istration. The cottage is being repaired \ and made ready for occupancy. A ru mor was started that President Mc- Kinley might occupy the cottage, strong efforts having been made to in duce him to come hero this summer. This rumor is now discredited, how ever.

TURKEY FINALLY CONSENTS TO A CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES. Would Not Yield to tlie llcqneßt of the Powers Cut it TliesMiily WMH I'inter Otto man Control Prlnee Constantlne Driven From DOIIIOUOM —Last Itattle of the War. Constantinople, May 19. —Ed hem Pasha, commanding the Turkish army operating against the Creeks, has been ordered to cease hostilities. The official announcement is made that the sultan has proclaimed a sus pension of hostilities with Greece, with the object of showing his good will to ward the powers. it transpires that the czar made a direct appeal to the sultan to order his troops to cease hostilities and arrange an armistice, and this, coupled with the fact that must serious results would have ensued If Turkey had persisted in her defiant attitude, brought about the present state of affairs. Tewfi'- Pasha, the Turkish minister for ?oi< ign nfairs, has called upon the dean of th diplomatic corps, Baron von Oaihe, and conveyed to the foreign minister the sultan's decision to arrange ! an armistice. It is now bellcvd that the terms of peace will be negotiated between Tur key anl Greece. The Fall of Domokoa. London, May i'J. —Definite details of the battle u. Pomokos from the Turk ish side are . till wanting, though it Is evident that the Greek defeat was com plete and decisive. An Italian officer with the Greeks puts their killed and wounded at 2,000, but probably this is much exaggerated, as the Greek posi tions were well protected, and the re treat began as soon as they became un tcn ible. It is believed that Edhem Papha will insist upon the surrender to him of the passes over the Othrys range before lie consents to an armistice; but, save for a small force of Turkish cavalry follow ing the retreating Greeks at a distance of 2,000 yards, the Turks have not at tempted to attack the Greek rear guard. The crown prince headed the retreat, and his headquarters are now establish ed close to Devcnfourka pass, a very narrow gorge through the Othrys range about 12 miles from Lamia. The greatest depression exists at Athens. There is a complete collapse of the high hopes raised by the optimis tic dispatches of Constantino, but as yet there are no disorders. While the battle was in progress the government vainly endeavored to got at the exact position and the number of casualties, but Constantine sent only evasive re plies. Very feeble were the shouts raised when additional troops started yesterday for the front. The Athenians are completely disheartened. Flags of Truce Raised. Athens, May 19.—The Turks have hoisted, a flag of truce at Imaret and have sent delegates to Arta to arrange the terms of an armistice. The same was done by the Turks at Domokos. The past week lias been fraught with , great disaster to Greece, and the hu miliation of the Hellenes is not yet con j eluded. on Wednesday of last week Greece, recognizing after the defeat of her sol diers at Pharsala that her position was critical, made a formal request for the mediation of the powers, whose representatives consented to Intervene upon the promise of tlie Greek govern ment to withdraw its forces from Crete, consent to the autonomy of the island under Turkish rule and confide its in terests unreservedly to the powers. Under these conditions an appeal was made to the porte for un armistice. The porte, after nearly a week's de lay, defiantly replied, declining to agree to an armistice until the following con ditions were accepted: The annexation of Thessaly, an indemnity of .Llu.OuO,- 000 and the abolition of the capitula tions. On Monday Edhem Pasha, the Turk ish commander, advanced on Domokos, to which place Prince Constantine had retired after abandoning Pharsala, and the last decisive battle of the war was fought. After a day's fighting the Greeks were again routed andcompelled to give up their last position in Thes saly. The fdrees of the sultan having com pletely occupied Thessaly, the porte an nounced to the powers that it would grant an armistice, under which peace negotiations are now in progress. The Bradley Martin* Are Happy. New Yoik, May 15.—The Tribune of this city tills morning has the following: "The Bradley Martins are in the sev enth heaven of delightful anticipation. In a letter written to an intimate friend in this city and received yesterday Mrs. Bradley Martin writes: "You may well imagine how delighted we all arc at the prospect of a child being born to the Earl and Countess of Craven. The happy event will take place early in July. The countess is in excellent health and is with the earl at Coombe Abbey." The Countess of Craven, formerly Cornelia Martin, was married to Wil liam George Robert, fourth earl of | Craven,, on April 18, 1892, in Grace ; church of this city. FiMti'Rt Vessel of ller flan*. Bridgeport, Conn., May 15.—"The fas-test vessel of her class in the world" was the verdict accorded by the officers | of the trial board at the conclusion of the speed trial <>f the new cruiser Nash ville on Long Island sound. The speed required by the government was 13 07 knots. The average speed made by the vessel was 16.706 knots, making an ex cess of speed of very near three knots. With a bonus of £20,000 for each excess | knot, this means a total of &70,000 for , her builders. Fined a Dead Man.

McPherson. New York, May 10.—Ex-Senator J. 11. McPherson, president of the Western stockyards, Jersey City, who lives at lhe Windsor hotel, eamc near being shot by a blind man in the Aldridge building. 149 Church street, yesterday. The ex-scnator lias an office on the fourth floor of this building, and about 10 o'clock William B. Van Aken of 15 Tenth avenue, who is supposed to be EX-SENATOR M'PHERSON. blind, was led in by another man, whose identity he refused to disclose. It appears that Van Aken has a long standing grievance against McPherson. As far back as 1878 McPherson bought some land in New Jersey from Van Aken and paid him for it. Van Aken appears to have been content with the bargain for nearly 20 years, for he nev er said anything until about three months ago, when he started an action against the ex-senator for the recovery of something like $283,000, which, he al leged, was owing to him. Mr. McPher son was astounded at the claim and re pudiated it. He had never seen Van Aken until he presented himself in his office in tht Aldridge building. He did not-recog nize his visitor when he came in. After some conversation he said he had come to seltle the suit and was re ferred to the ex-senator's lawyers. Van Aken then attempted to draw a pistol, but was prevented by the ox senator's secretary, who disarmed him after a struggle. He was arrested and held for the grand jury in $3,000 bail. THE TAILORS' STRIKE. I)isuffcctin:i Aiming New York (iarment Makers Is Spreading. New York, May 19.—Meetings have been hold in all the big east side "halls, it which garment makers generally dis cussed the strike question. The pre ponderance of opinion seemed in favor of adopting aggressive measures to force the contractors, and incidentally the manufacturers, to grant better wages. At a conference of committees repre senting the United Brotherhood of Tai lors and the Progressive Tailors it was decided that the latter, numbering 2,500, would go on strike. Leader Schoenfeld, who presided at the conference, said he anticipated a general strike, involving at least 35,000 garment workers in this city, Brook lyn and Brownsville. The Knee Pants Makers', Vest Mak ers', Overcoat Makers', Sailors' Jacket Makers' and other affiliated unions are expected to fall in line before the end of the first week of the strike. Over 400 contractors met and after a protracted discussion of the situation decided to appoint a committee to con fer with the strike leaders. This was taken as an indication that the con tractors are willing to take sides with the strikers in the matter of forcing the manufacturer to pay higher prices, thus enabling the contractors and mid dlemen to pay the operators more. At a meeting of hat makers it was decided to formulate a new price list and usk for a reduction in the toil hours. It is reported that the shirt makers are contemplating a strike. Philadelphia Tailor*' Strike. Philadelphia, May 19. —The childrens' coat and jacket makers of this city to the number of 375 went on strike for an increase of 25 per cent in wages. The strikers include ail of that class of gar ment workers in the city excepting 30, who are employed in one shop. These have also declared their intention of joining the strikers. Quite a number employed in other branches of garment making went on strike Monday, and it is said there are at least 1,000 garment workers now on strike. Another II ink President Indicted. St. Paul, May 18.— Another sensa tional indictment in the bank cases was reported by the grand jury. Tie Alle manla National bank was among those which failed during the past winter and into whose affairs the grand jury had been looking, and this indictment was for grand larceny against Albert Schef fer. president of that bank. The ground for the charge is an overdraft of his personal account to the amount of $(,- 000. The Alleiqania closed its doors be cause of a run inaugurated after some other banks had failed and has been going through the preliminary steps for reorganization. Tried to Kill Hi* Fiancee. Springfield, Mass., May 18.—Peter Farrell, charged with an assault with intent to murder his fiancee, Miss Hannah 11. Burke of this city, last De comber. was convicted in the superior court of the crime and is now awaiting sentence. Miss Burke, who was shot by Farrell. was a poor witness for the commonwealth, and it was plainly evi dent she was trying to shield Fareell as much as possible. She denied many of her statements made after the shoot ing and failed to remember many cir cumstances connected with the case. Released From Cuban Prison.

The Strangely Constructed C raft 1* Re garded a* the Mod Effective Sea Fight ing Device Alloat—Ore at Secrecy Main tained a* to ller MINMIOII. Elizabethport, 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 bow of the craft and exclaimed, "1 christen thee the Holland." As the cigar shaped stern struck and buried itself in the waters of Statefi 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 the 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 the surface of the water. The Holland was towed to the dock, where she will be completed before anv submarine experiment 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 so much speculation and mys tery, is the invention of John P. Hol 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 1877. was a small affair and not an unqualified success. Then Mr. Hol land put in five years more on a second attempt that never even came to a 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. l>iiii<'n*ioiiM of the Craft. The Holland is 50 feet 3 inches long, with a 4 foot screw protecting exten sion. Its diameter is 10 feet 3 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 is 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 six men. Workmen will get the craft In shape at once, and she will have her trial trip down the bay as soon as possible. Thiee 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 it in case it comes up to expecta tions. The government has already offi cially indorsed the patents pertaining to the boat, and the navy department has hud an official at the shipyard sub mitting reports constantly on the work of construction. Mr. Luiitorbach to Ik Provided For. Albany. May 18.—The bill increasing the nuffiber of members of the New York state board of charities to 12 has been signed by Governor Black.
