A HOT DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
It Hins-ed on an Interview With the
' Spanish Minister.. Ijodge Set the

rose to a question of personal privilege.
He sent to the desk and had read the
Spanish minister's reference in an inter
' view to Lodge's utterances, calling in
Question the translation of a statement
attributed to General Weyler, in which
the latter declared he would "exter
minate" the insurgents. Lodge said the
literal rendering of Weyler's language
would be that he would "clean out" the
large insurgent bands and "extermi
nate" the small ones. Lodge said he
did not wonder at the extreme sensitive'
" nessof the Spanish people, but he did
not think this offered an excuse for the
Spanish minister adopting the course he
had. It was pretty well esfsiblished
that the debates in the rca-uo and house
were purely domestic matters, and it
was not proper for a representative of a
foreign country to communicate with
them except through the state depart
ment. If an American minister in Eu
rope discussed political affairs there, he
would be sent home.
Lodge then read from a letter of Daniel
. "Webster's, when secretary of state, pro
testing aeainst the statement by an Aus-
- trian minister as to a domestic matter,
The senator added a most emphatic pro
test agafnst public comment by any dip
lomatic representative on the debates of
congress.' 'The constitution protected
the senators in language used in the de
bate. It was one of the safeguards of
" free speech.
Gray said the United States should
proceed according to the judgment of a
self-respecting nation, unmoved by erne
' ntes at Valcenia or Madrid, and without
being turned aside to discuss the ques
tion of a translation between, senator
and minister. Gray said he would be
quick to resent an attack oh the privi
leges of a senator, but in all fairness
be thought it hardly worth while to
stretch senatorial prerogatives and privi
leges in order to question a gentleman
who had no power to reply in behalf of
Spain. There should be some conces
sion to the stress of the situation.
Teller said the rule was unvarying
again 8 1 communications by a foreign
minister except through the state de
partment. Twice had a foreign minis
ter been sent home for statements of
less importance than this. . .
"But considering the circumstances,"
added Teller, "bad I been in authority I
would not have sent him home for this
. offense, but I would have had the secre
tary of state in a most kindly way sag
Rest that repetition of the offense would
lead to his going home.",
There was no probability that Spain
would dissent in an offensive way to the
passage of the pending resolutions.-- Tel
ler said Spain knew we had a right to
recognize the belligerents. Spain would
naturally show some feeling, but she
' would not go to war. There was a rip
ple of applause, which the vice-president
checked when Teller referred to his sym
pathy with the Cubans.
"I would be delighted if the insur
gents had run the Spanish soldiers into
the sea." But, the senator added, he
felt no irritation over the student ebulli
tions in Spain. In conclusion Teller
vigorously asserted that the American
people would not tolerate any dictation
or criticism from foreign representatives
accredited here.
The Cuban discussion ended and Tar
pie took the floor on the Dapont case.
Boar's resolution' introduced yester
day providing that the Cuban question
go over until April 6, went over until to
morrow. ' Hoar said he was in poor
health and unable to speak today.

Goldendale, Wash., March 10.
Philip Carwell, who died last Saturday

Antelope Doing,.
The play "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was
given at Masonic hall Friday evening to
a delighted audience by the Antelope
Dramatic Club for the benefit of the
band association. Fanny Murphy aa
'Topsy" was simply immense, while
Nellie McGreer as "Little Eva," E
Glisan as "Uncle Tom," E. M. Miller as
Lawyer Marks," and Ed Murphy as
"Gumption Cute," were exceptionally
fine. All the parts were well taken and
admirably sustained. Several beautiful
songs were rendered by the double male
quartet, with Mrs. G. H. Dunn at the
organ, and were well received. The
silver cornel band discoursed some ex
ceilent music, which was greatly appre
ciated, this being the first band to play
in Antelope for years. The entertain
mentwas followed by a grand ball, and
an elegant supper was given at tne uc

Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is
"It is with pleasure 1 tell yon that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy.". A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By.
using this remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
W. J. Moore, the leading candy

marshmallow taffy is the favorite of all
taffies ever introduced. Let the people
judge for themselves. Give him a call

M'KINLEY . ENDORSED
By the Eepublican Conven
tion at 'Columbus.
DELEGATES AT LARGE ELECTED
TheT Are Instructed to Vote for
Him at St. Louis Allison the
Choice of lowans.
Columbus, O., March 11. The Grand
opera-house was unable again today to
give admission to more than half of those
holding tickets.
Some delegates to
the republican state
convention were
crowded out.
At 10:15 Senator-
elect Foraker called
the convention to
order. The stage
was crowded with
Ohio congressmen
and party leaders.
Ex-Secretary Chas.
Foster had a seat near the presiding of
ficer. The committee on credentials reported
in favor of seating the "committee" de
legation from Muskingum, as agaiust
the "mass convention" delegation. The
report was adopted with a resolution
against county committees assuming the
power in future of appointing delegates.
The temporary organization was unan
imously made permanent, and Chair
man Foraker briefly acknowledged the
double honor.
Congressman J. M. Taylor, chairman
of the committee on resolutions, reported
the platform, which was greeted with
requent applause, and adopted. The
platform, which declares stronglv for
protection and reciprocity, denounces
fhe present democratic administration
as the most destructive- and disastrous
in the history of our country. It has
not only disappointed the' expectations
of the county, but has justly forfeited
the confidence and support of its own
party.
The platform declares that the repub
lican party "stand tor the Monroe doc
trine as Monroe himself proclaimed it ;"
favors a "return of the government to a
debt-paying policy" by increasing its
revenues; declared for a "currency of
gold, silver and paper, with which to
measure our exchange that shall be as
sound as the government and as untar
nished as its honor, and to that end we
favor bimetalism and demand the use
of bath gold and silver as a standard
money, either in accordance with a ratio
to be fixed by' national agreement, if
that can be obtained, or nnder such re
strictions and such nrovisionB. to be de-
termmed by legislation, as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of values
of the two metals, so the purchasing and
debt-paying power of a dollar, whether
silver, gold or paper, shall be at all
times equal."
The platform also pledges the support
of the state to McKinley in the national
convention.
The ticket elected by the republican
state convention today was :
Delegates-at-large, Governor Asa H,
Bushnell, Senator-elect J.-B. Foraker,
Representatives Charles H. Grosvenor
and the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna; alter
nates, J. E. Lowes, Charles Fleischman,
P. Green and S. T. Taylor; electors-at
large, I. F. Mack and Albert C. Douglas.
Secretary of state, Charles Einny ; su
preme judge, Mai shall J. Williams; food
commissioner, Joseph E. Blackburn
member of board of publio works, Frank
A. Hoffman. - .
The republican state convention,
which concluded this afternoon its ses
sion of two : days, was more of a McKin
ley rally than the nsnal party- business
assembly. It was held two or three
months earlier than usual, in order to
proclaim to the country the sentiments
of McKinley's state. Not since the in
dorsement of R. B. Hayes for the presi
dency, at the state harmonious meeting
of representative republicans in Ohio.
When senator Sherman was indorsed for
president; at state conventions of 1880,
18i4, and 1888, there were bitter
contests,- and it required' consider
able efforts' in 1892 to prevent open
opposition in the Ohio state convention
to Harrison for a second term. At that
time Charles Foster was secretary of the
treasury, and is credited with having
controlled the convention.

Des Moines, la., March 11. The re
publican state convention met at 11 a. m.
Congressman Dolliver was elected tern-
NLEY.J&
porary chairman, and delivered an ad
dress, of which the following is the clos
ing paragraph :
"No man has been proposed for the
nomination whose election would no
bring honor to the chief office of the
people, but of all the illustrious men
who are presented for the favor of the

not one ont-ranba in ripened prepara
tion for its duties the unassuming leade
ot KepuDUoinism ot lowa.wiiot-e name is
on the lips and in t lie hearts of oil our
people today William B. Allison."
The address was frequently interrupt
ed by applause, which became tremend
oub at every allusion to Allison.
Four thousand people were present
and the convention was the most enthu
eiastic in the history of the state.
The platform'declares for sound money
and Allison.
It Went to the Calendar.
Washington, March 11. In the sen
ate today Hoar was recognized on his

as Mischief-Breeders.
THIRD CLAUSE OBJECTIONABLE
'It Sounds tike a Threat, but It
Buncombe" Sherman Makes .
Another Speech.
Washington. March 12. After
hour consumed in clearing away routine
matters the Cuban resolutions were laid
before the senate, and Hill was recog
nized. "
He pointed out that this being a con
ference report the resolutions could not
be amended. He would therefore vote
against the report, in order that at some
subsequent time the amendments might
be made. The senator particularly ob
jected to the third clause of the reeolu
tions, stating that the United States had
not intervened in the struggles between
any Europeon governments and thei
colonies, but owing to the prox'mity
Of
Cuba the United States should be pre
pared to intervene. This he declared
ambiguous. We bad intervened and re
cognized countries which had been
colonies of Spain. What the resolutions
sought to convey was a threa't to inter
vene. To this extent the resolution was
unnecessary, it was subject to doubt
ful construction and a mischief breeder,
liable to compromise the United StateB,
The phrase the United States should be
prepared to protect the legitimate in
terests of our citizens by intervention
sounded like a threat, but it was bun
combe.
"If this resolution means we should
increase our army, let us say so frankly
and frame a bill for that purpose," said
Hill. "If it means we should increase
our navy let us state it frankly and fear
lessly and frame a bill to that end. . Let
us not indulge in idle boasts and threats
and doubtful1 phrases as to being pre
pared to protect legimate interests by
intervention."
At 2 o'clock there was a contest for
precedence between the Cuban resolu
tions and the Dupont election case;
while Sherman addressed the senate in
support of the Cubau resolutions.
Sherman discussed at length the char
acter of the insurrection and the condi
tions existing in Cuba. It was not best,
he said, to send a joint resolution to the
president, as that would compel him to
act in five days, and this was not judi
cious. He had confidence in the preei
dent. There were political differences
between them but, he added, "No one
doubts his courage ; no one doubts bis
fidelity to the flag of our country."
Sherman referred to Gen. Weyler as a
butcher, and said the conditions In Cu
ba were flagrant. If war does not exi6t
n Cuba, he asked, where on earth does
it exist?
Speaking of the demand for facts, he
said Senator Lodge had obtained from
Secretary Olney ample facts to justify
the resolutions: but for obvious reasons
could not be made public.

Cuban Rebels Well Fleated
With Kx-
IstlDg Conditions.
New Yobk, March 12. Colonel Fred-
erico Perez, chief of the staff of Maceo,
is here on a secret mission. He will re
turn to Cuba in a few days. In an in
terview laet night he said :
When I left Cuba, Gomez and Maceo
were very well satisfied with the con
ditions existing and hoped to be able to
do something more decisive In the near
future. The raid through the central
provinces brought good, results. The
Cubans gained arms, ammunition and
men. , Many Spanish volunteers have
taken. the field with them. - In the east
ern part of the island over 1000 SpanUu
soldiers have deserted to the Cubans.:
"Since then there has been a reorgani
sation and Maceo and Gomez were about
to nnite their forces again.- They now
have an army of about 25,000 men in the
central provinces. The Cubans have
throughout the island about 60,000
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
THE ONWARD HARCH
of Consumption is
stopped short by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. If
you haveu't -waited
beyond reason,
there's complete re
covery nnd cure.
Although by many
believed to be incur
able, there is the
evidence of hundreds
of lining witnesses to
the fact that, in all
it9 earlier stages, con
sumption is a curable
disease. Not every
case, but a large per
centage of cases, and
we believe, lully 98
ner cent, are cured
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleed,inps from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported tons as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Naaty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos- ,
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of ,
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and leant

armed men and about 40,000 partially
armed. Of the armed men about one
third are cavalry, who have plenty of
good horses. The Spanish mounted in
fantry are no match for them. Many of
the S paniards are not able to ride, and
when they charge they cling with both
their hands to the pommels of their sad
dles and do not control their horses.
Since General Weyler took control,
the Spaniards havedone nothing. They
have a great many flying columns in tbs
field, but they are always at the rear
guard, following along, and never by
any chance coming in contact with the
vanguard. That is the reason that Ma
ceo was able to pass from the province
of Pinar del Rio to the province of Ha
vana without firing a shot, though the
Spanish army marched through the
region. I was in the ten years' war,
and saw the Spaniards fight like demonB.
Now there a change. They seem to
have no heart for their work. They
fight weakly, and do not seem to care
how the battle may go.
The Spaniards appear very much de
moralized, both on account of the move
ments of the Cubans and the action of
the American Congress. The resolu
tions passed by the house and senate
have given mnch joy to the Cubau lead
ers.
"I had no tronbe in getting away
from Cuba. In fact, there were many
cilities. I lett the islands at a point
not far from Havana. Tbe whole in
terior of the island, with the exception
of a few harbors held by the Spaniards,
is practically under the control of the
insurgents."
Colonel Perez was wounded in Jan
uary at Garro, where the Spaniards en
gaged ihe troops of General Maceo, and
illed four men. Colonel Perez was
shot in the neck and was in the hospital
several weeks. He left the island a -
week ago.
It is not to be wondered at that Ayer's
pills are in such universal demand. For
the cure of constipation, billlousneBS, or
any other complaint needing a laxative,
these pills are unsurpassed. They are
sugar-coated, easy to take and every
dose is effective.
The Rathbone Sisters gave an enter
tainment last evening at the conclusion
of their regular work. While the pro
gram was short, it was of great merit,
and succeeded by an elegant repast, the
enjoyment for those in attendance was
complete. Mrs. E. O. McCoy nave a
vocal solo, which was generously ap
plauded ; a bass solo by Mr. Chas.
Stubling was alBO well received. The
recitation by Mr. . Wm. Rasmus,
