By the over whelimng vote of 64 to 6 the seuato to day adopted a concurrent resolution favorable to Cuban belligerency and independence. The resolutions adopted are as follows: "Resolved, By the senate, the house of representatives concurring, that, iu the opinion of congress, a condition of pnblio war exists between the govern ment of Spain and the government pro cluimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba; and, that the United States of America should maintain a striot neutrality be tweeu the contending powers, accord ing to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United states. "Resolved, Thut the friendly offices of the United States should be offered by the president to t'.e Spanish govern in out for the recognition of the inde pendence of Cuba. " When the result was announced, the densely packed galleries broke into loud and continued applause, which the vice-president, checked, with diffl oulty. The main feature of the debate was the speech of Sherman, chairman of the, oommittoe on foreign relations. As a rule , the veteran senator from Ohio, speaks with conservatism; so it was the more surprising when he ar raigued Spain and her governor-gene rul, Weyler, in the mqst scathing lan guago. Sherman read specific instances in which Weyler was pictured as stripping young girls held as captives and oom polling them to dance before the Spanish soldiers.

Owing to the brief time allotted for debute, members were fortunate in securing two or three min utes to present their views. SUBJECT CONSIDERED BY RAIL ROAD COMMISSIONERS. INDIGNATION IN SPAIN.

It is understood that entirely harmonious relations have been restored. For February the receipts from cus toms shows a fulling off of $3,474,403, and the internal reveuue receipts a de crease of $3114,641). As the expeuditures during the mouth, however, were ex oeptionully light, a small surplus is shown, The totul deficit for the pres ent fiscal year amounted to $18,558, 537, and it is the opinion of treusury officials that the delioit July 1, next, will not exceed this amount.

His oharges were improba ble, and his refusal to accept the deci sion of the committee was a sheer piece of childish obstinacy." Governor Lord, of Oregon, has been notified that laud claimed by tho state, under the swamp land grant of 1868, which afterwards passed by grant of the state to the United States Military Wagon Road Company, in I860, has been rejected by the commissioner of the general land office, at Washington.

Pearson, known Violent Demonstration A gainst United Stales lu Barcelona. Barcelona, Spain, March 8. The fever of indignation and hate against the United States, whioh seems to have taken possession of the heart of all Spain over the action of the United States senate in reoognizing the provi sional government of Cuba as belliger ents, and in calling upon President Cleveland to use his good offices with Spain to socure the indenpedence of Cuba, culminated in violent scenes here today, and an stack upon the United States consulate. The trouble did not arise out of the spontaneous formation of the mob which did the violence, but was the outcome of a publio meeting, whioh had been influenced by fervid speeches. The public demonstration to protest against the United States senate's ac tion was organized by the political leaders, inoluding Republicans and men of all shades of politioal sentiment - It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the meeting had assembled, and there were 15,000 people present, all in a state of high patriotio enthusiasm and ripe for any manifestation of the emotions which possessed them. They were addressed by the orators provided for the occasion, and the purpose of the meeting explained as one of protest against the recognition of the Cubun government as a belligerent power by the United States senate. The spirit of tho crowd took flref and they set out for the United States consulate. The leaders who had originated the meet nig seem to have realized the serious consequences whioh might follow upon a demonstration that took this direo tion, and they made every effort to dis suude the mob from its purpose; but their utmost efforts were of no avail and the orowd set off for the United States consulate. 'Ihe authorities of the city had by this time taken alarm, and a force police was sent to the consulate. The exoited crowd was not intimidated by this show of force from gathering be fore the consulate and shouting: "Long live Spain," and "Down with the Yankoes." These verbal missiles did not long satisfy the aroused passions of the mob, and in a short time stones begun flying from the crowd, which broke number of windows in the United States consulate. The force of police wuitort for no further manifestation, but charged the crowd under the or. ders of their officers and roughly dis. persed them, wounding several So far as learned there wore no fatal re sults. Being driven away from the United States oonsulute, the crowd marched off to the newspaper offices. There they listened to more fervid oratory, and worked themselves up to the high est pitch or enthusiasm and patriotio spirit The military club in the oity was also a csnter of excitement, and there, also, were glowing speeches indulged iu in honor of the army, which were eagerly listened to and greeted with loud cheers. Feeling Against This Country lucreaned by Cable Dispatches. Mudrid, March 4. Cable dispatches from the United States are increasing the feeling of indignation aroused among the masses when it became known the United States senate fuvored the recognition of the Cuban iusur gents as belligerents. The newspapors here confirm the report that the Spanish naval squadron, consisting of four cruisers and a dispatch boat, is to be sent to Cuba without delay. In addi tion, the Spanish naval officers and murines are to be attached to Spanish mail boats, which are to be armed und equipped as auxiliary cruisers. 'The greatest activity ia being dis played in the government navy yards, and every precaution possible is being made by the naval and military forces for the most serious eventualities. The Imparoiul today declares that the utterances of the United Stales sen ate oousist of an "unqualified and un reasoning provocation, ' adding: "If the desire for war were in re sponse to a fault committed by Spain, the senators would have accomplished their duty, but no provocation has been given to the United States, and the Americans judge rashly of the results of a Spanish-American war. The dis. tasteful language of the senate ought not to surprise any one. United States senators are accustomed to exchange gross insults without crossing swords or exchanging bulls. These are the oowurds who are seeking war, and one awaits death with more coolness with a good conscience than with pockets filled with dollars." In conclusion, the Impartial counsels the Spaniards to reserve their strength aud energies for an opportune moment A demonstration against the United States was attempted during the day by some students, but it was quickly dispelled by the police. In Barcelona mounted gendarmes have been kept busy patrolling the city aud dispersing gatherings of persons plotting to wreak their wrath upon the representative of the United States government in that oity, and renewed attempts were made during the day to do violence to the consulate. Crowds were repeatedly charged by the police and dispersed, Same Schedule From Uinatllln I'olnW to 1'ortland as From Walla Walla to l'ortland This Means Jteductlon of Thirty-live Cents Per Ton. Salem, March 4. The board of rail road commissioners considered the de oisiou of the interstate commerce com mission, recently rendered in the oase of Evans vs. McNeill, receiver of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com pany. This is the outcome of a oom plaint made by the petitioner (Evuns) that the rate on wheat between Walla Walla and Portland then obtaining, $4.70 per ton, wus exoessive, and thut it should be reduced to 1 cent per milo, or $2.45 per ton from Walla Walla to Portland. The present rate is $4.25 per ton. The decision of the interstate commerce commission is thut a reason able compensation to the currier for the service is 19,' cents per 100 pounds, or 13. B0 .per ton, a reduction oi bo cents per ton from present rates. There is only a half a cent difference between the figures that body has or dered into effect between Walla Walla and Portland and the figures the state board ordered into effect from Umatilla county points. The work required, the fuel consumed, and the distance hauled from points in Umatilla county and from Walla Walla are practically the shoio, and there is no reason wny tne same rates should not prevail. As soon as the information was received, that the interstate commerce commission had oonoluded that the rate from Walla Walla to Portland should not exceed 19, cents per 100 pounds, the board called on the general freight agent of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com pany aud informed him that it expected the same rates to apply to Umatilla oounty points, on the main line from Echo and Gibbon and intermediate points, and on the Spokane branch, or Wasbiugton division, from Saxe and Spofford and intermediate points. The premises were admitted by Mr. Camp bell, and the same rates will apply. This means a reduction of 85 cents per ton; individuality small, bnt on an average Umatilla crop, it means a sav ing to the producers of at least $10,000 on shipments over the O. R. & N. Co. 's lines, and as the Washington & Colum bia River Railroad Company must meet the out, it will be as much more for thut road, or a total of more than $20,000 per year. DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

Washington, March 8. The senate committee on naval affairs had Assist ant Patent Examiner Stuufer on the stand in connection with the inquiry concerning the armor-plate oontraots today. Ho produced the records of the patent office to show the action of that ofHoe on the Harvey application for patents. The committee has succeeded in ascertaining among other things in its recent inquiries that four-fifths of the stock of the Harvey company is owned abroad, and that the company receives a royalty of two cents a pound on all the Hurveyized steel usedjn Eu-' ropean countries. These facts are ac cepted as an explanation of the low rates at which foreign oontraots are let. Washington, Murch 4. The bill passed by the Ben ate today for iuorease of the navy attracted considerable atten tion, in view of the tension over Span ish-Cuban affairs. The bill as passed authorizes the addition of 1,000 en listed men to the navy, the enlisting to be for not more than two years and the chartering of transport ships in case of emergency. The bill passed under the five-minute rule and by unanimous vote.

He was sucooessful und frugal and in time ao ouraulated approximately $15,000. Joe Tye, another Chinese and a merchant, it is alleged, stole $14,500 of his coun tryman's money and sailed to China. Fat followed him, but before ho could be apprehended Tie returned aud was arrested and jailed. The question brought to the attention of the treusury department is whether, being a laborer, Fat, under the exclusion laws, can re turn to the country und give testimony against Tie, without which it is suid he cannot be convicted of the larceny. Judge Reeve, the solicitor of the treas ury, in rendering his decision, states that uuder the law he must hold that Fat is debaried from lauding, even tor so laudable a purpose as giviug evi dence against a criminal, who, it is al leged, has robbed hiiu of the results of many years hard lubor. lye will be released.
