It Ainu to Prevent the Dismember ment of the Different Portions of the Union Pacific System. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The members of the house Pacific railway committee, who are opposed to the second bill for settling the debts of the Union and Cen tral Pacific, have presented a minority report discussing the defects of the bill from their point of view. The report is signed by Snodgrass, Harris and Cooper. The report says: "We call attention to the following fatal defects of the bill: While ostensibly pro viding for the payment of the principal of the subsidy bonds amounting to 564.623, 521, it really gives to the debtor compa nies an option which they may or may not accept. Should the propositions of the bill be enacted by the debtor companies, it will result In the transfer of the Hen which the government holds as to the principal of the debt to parties whose In terest will be entirely antagonistic to the government In the final payment of the net Interest advanced, amounting to $75, 712,429, which Is. by the terms of the bill, expressly relegated to a third place as a security which will be in effect no. se curity whatever, as there will be superior to the government claim the sum of $129, 247,047, one-half drawing 5 per cent, and one-half 4 per cent, all of which would ber managed so as to destroy any possibility of the ultimate payment of the govern ment Interest. Other objections mentioned are that the sinking fund must be kept intact for 12 months and payment made by the government on the interest and principal of the bonds that fall due, that the companies may declare dividends be fore they have paid the debt to the UniteJ States." A mention of the terminals is omitted in the provisions for a new mortgage. Permission is given to "portions" of the "Union Pacific to be acquired by other cor porations. Another objection Is that all the companies are not required to comply with the provisions of the bill, and finally that It amounts to an extension to the companies of one year on their debts. A bill designed to overcome these objections accompanies the report. This measure, like the one reported by the majority of the committee, provides for the payment of the principal of the government debt, but requires that in stead of turning the sinking fund over to the companies. It shall be applied as the present law directs, to the reduction of the first-mortgage bonds. It seeks to re tain the rank of the lien of the govern ment, for the security of unpaid interest, as it at present exists, instead of permit ting the interest to be reduced to a third place, which would be one of the effects of the majority bill. It further provides that the terminals and unsubsldized parts of the main line shall be subjected to the Hen of the government, as was the nur- pose of the original bill. The bill aims to prevent the dismemberment of the differ ent portions of the Union Pacific system, which is contemplated by section 11 of the majority bilL It also requires that Its terms shall be accepted by all of the Pa cific roads. No More Pacific RailTrnr Legislation. WASHINGTON. 'Feb. 26.-There seems to be little prospectthat any more at tempts at Pacific railway legislation will be made this congress. Supporters of the bill In the house went to the senate to make a canvass of its chances, and were told by Senator White, of California, that Western senators had resolved to see to It that no legislation on the lines of the Rellly bill should paaa -the senate. THE AGRICULTURAL BILL. Several Items Stricken Ont by the Conferees. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. The confer ees on the agricultural bill reached a con clusion this afternoon, the senate yielding much that It had added to the bill. Chief among the items so yielded is that ap propriating $40,000 for the extermination of tne gypsy moth, which was placed In the bill, after a hard contest by Mr. Lodge. The house agrees to the senate amendment amending the cattle exporta tion act, so as to extend It Tirn-unr.o fn all live cattle, the meat of which, fresh, salted, canned, corned, packed, cured or otherwise prepared, is Intended for ex portation. An Important provision of this law stipulates "that no clearance shall be given to any vessel having on board any fresh, salted, canned, corned or pack ed beef, being the meat of cattle killed after the passage of this act for exporta tion and sale In a foreign country, from any port in the United States, until the owner or skipper shall obtain from an Inspector appointed under the provisions of this act a certificate that said cattle were free from disease, and that their meat is sound and wholesome." Another agreement agreed to by the house authorizes the secretary of agri culture to make the necessary rules to prevent the transportation from one state or territory or district Into any other state or territory, or to any foreign country, of the condemned carcasses of cattle which have been inspected. The house agreed to the action of the senate in striking from the bill the authority given the sec retary to use part of the funds set aside for exports In the manufacture of sugar for experiments, in sugar cane, and rice production on reclaimed swamp lands In the San Joaquin or Sacramento valley, Cal. The appropriation of $15,000 for irri gation investigation, and a similar sum for investigations under the head of nutri tion, cut by the senate to 5S000, was re stored. The Increase of the senate in the general expenses of the weather bureau from $31,000 to $36,000 was agreed to by the house. A Double- Pension Vetoed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. The president has sent to the house a message veto ing the bill to grant a pension to Eunice Putnam, daughter of John Putnam, who served in the late war. 'The report of the committee to which this bill was sent." says the president, "states that no claim for pension on ac count of the soldier's death has ever been filed in the pension bureau, and it seems that upon this is based the theory by which It Is proposed to pension the daugh ter. I do not suppose It was Intended that a double pension should be allowed. In point of fact, the widow has already been pensioned, and in such pension allow ance has been made for the- minor chil dren. There is no suggestion that the widow has died or remarried. If this bill should become a law, two full pensions would be in force at the same time, one to the widow and another to the daugh ter, each predicated upon the services and death of the soldier." Anti-Bond Populists. WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. Friends of the amendment to the sundry civil bill provid ing for an issue of $100,003,000 certificates of indebtedness have about concluded that they will be unable to get the bill through as long as the amendment remains part of it. Populist senators have announced their determination to defeat the bill rather than permit the admission of this amendment. The amendment offered by Mills for the repeal of all laws authorizing the Issue of bonds will be opposed by those who favor the certificates, just as stubbornly as the certificate amendment is opposed by the anti-bond men. As no one desires an extra session. It appears probable that both amendments will be dropped after a few hours" debate. For the Baltimore Exposition. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-In the house today a senate joint resolution was agreed to. admitting free of duty articles im ported for exhibition at the exposition o be held in Baltimore in 18S7. in celebration of the centennial of the Incorporation of the city.

An Old Contract Claim. SACRAMENTO, CaL. Feb. 26. The old claim of Contractor D. Jordan, which has been in every legislature since 1SSS, passed the senate this morning by a vote of 22 to 14. Langford of San Joaquin opposed the bill, denouncing it as purely a lobby meas ure, but Ford championed it, pointing out that It now has the approval of the state board of examiners. The bill has passed two legislatures, but failed to become a law because of the lack of funds to meet the claim. The claim is for $79,000, and Is for work done at the Folsom prison.

The board of fire underwriters has retained counsel to defend the compact in the suit brought by the v.ontlnental company before United States Judge McKenna The union man agers claim their non-Intercourse rule is not a boycott, and its enforcement no breach of the law. However, they have suspended it under an injunction from the United States circuit court. The Conti nental Insurance Company defined its po sition with reference to the board of un derwriters of the Pacific In a letter ad dressed to the president of that organiza tion, as follows: "We favor the fixing of rates by associ ated companies, provided they are not placed on a basis that yields too high a percentage of profit, say not over 7 per cent, or at the most 10 per cent, after a fair allowance for necessary expenses. We are willing to Join any properly-organized association having for its object the making and enforcing, preferably through local boards, of correct rates and prac tices, but we are not willing to be a party to 'boycotts,' or, as you term them, 'non intercourse,' measures. We hold that the commission -mestlon is best settled by having no rule as to what can and cannot be paid, for such rules are violated by those that are dishonest, and the honest company is robbed." Snn Francisco Produce Firm Fails. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26. Robert Halght & Co., of 223 Front street, one of the oldest commission houses here, has assigned for the benefit of its creditors. The firm has been in business 30 years, and dealt In farm produce, butter, cheese, eggs, etc., which they sold on consignment. Their affairs have been placed In the hands of the board of trade.

' -J It Is Said Revolution Wiw Planned by the; Ctban. Leaders in -.New York. HAVANA, Feb 26. The governor-general has put lntc effect the public-order law throughout tie island. This law pro vides for the irzmedlate punishment of anybody taken Id a seditious act. Some 24 men have defied the authorities and called for rtbel recruits at Ybarra, near Matansas. and trouble is reported also from Guantanamo. It is also re ported that several revolutionary parties rose in arms in different parts of the island. Martial law has been declared, and the police and Spanish garrisons throughout the island are on the alert to prevent an uprising. Slight outbreaks have already occurred at Cienfuegos and Matanzas. At the latter place three Cuban patriols have been arrested and a small quantity of arms seized. The coast guards on the island and gunboats by sea are patroling the coast to prevent the landing of fili busters from Florida, Honduras or Costa Rica. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 26. The latest advices from Cuba confirm the reports- of a general uprising of the patriots there. The movement is simultaneous at seven different points on the island, and the Insurgents have attacked eight or ten Interior townS. At Matanzas, a Spanish army officer was dangerously wounded last Sunday morning. Generals Marti and Gomez are at the head of the revolution. They reached the island from Vera Cruz, Mexico, on the 24lh Inst. Planned In Kerr York. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Cipher dispatches received here by members of the Cuban revolutionary party, to whom the date set for the uprising has been known since February 9, told that the revolution had been begun. Jose Marti, twice banished from Cuba because of his hate of Spanish domina tion, and General Maximo Gomez, who commanded the eastern wing of the Cuban rebels in the revolution of 186Sf left New York two weeks ago for Vera Cruz, and news received from Cuba last night tells that they have landed, and their arrival was to be the signal for an uprising. It was here in New York that the rev olution was planned and it was from here that the order was sent which lighted the fire of civil war in Cuba. Cuban leaders here are in league with the revolutionists of the islands and with sympathizers in the United States, Mexico and South American republics, and have been long preparing for the event. The insurgent forces in Matanzas, near Ybarra, where one wing of the patriot party raised Its standard, are under the command of Major-General Julio San gully. The point mentioned is about 66 miles east of Havana, on the west end of the island. The scene of the other uprising men tioned in the Havana dispatches, Guan tanamo, is on the east end of the island, and the fact that these widely separated places are given prominence is accepted by Cubans In New York to mean that the uprising has extended throughout the island, and that the Spanish authorities are attempting to belittle its extent. The revolutionary forces In the eastern section of the island, which includes Guantanamo, are commanded by Brigadier-General Gulllermo Moncada. It is estirrated that he can raise 4000 men. The Spanish forces number about 15,000 regu lars, or-xchch59bofc-fl0i re stavtuueu -ac. Santiago- de Jubja. and are within reach of the rebels at Guantanamo. The bulk of the remaining Spanish troops are sta tioned at Havana, and so are near the scene of General Sangully's starting point, Ybarnu. Men who are high in the councils of the Cuban party, and who were instructed with the date set for the uprising say that the arms which have been smuggled into Cuba during the last few weeks, and which were landed near Matanzas and other points, and those which are already in the possession of the patriot forces of General Gomez, would be able to arm P.000 men at once and many more within a short time. Enrique Tuflllo, editor of El Provenou, a journal in sympathy with the Cuban revolutionists, said tonight: "A big meeting will take place tomor row night. The Cuban revolutionary party is very strong In the United States and South America, and large quantities of arms and ammunition have been land ed safely in Cuba. Our meeting will show conclusively that we are in it to stay and win." A special to a morning paper, from Ha vana, gives the following account of the revolution: "News has reached here of the attempt of insurgents to overthrow the govern ment. The rebels at Guantanamo, under the leadership of Henry Brooks, who is the wealthiest resident of Santiago de Cuba, had an encounter with the gov ernment troops near Santa Cecelia. Three persons were captured and the rest of the insurgent force fled to the woods. In the engagement at Ybarva, near Man tanzas, two of the rebels were killed and many wounded. They also lost 11 rifles and a large amount of ammunition. They are. now surrounded in the woods, near the Ignacla plantation. It Is expected they will be captured. Arms for the revolutionists were found on a plantation near Mantanzas and seized. In addition, four trunks containing arms and cavalry equipments were found among the bag gage of the passengers on the steamer Washington last Monday and confiscated. Many persons implicated in the revolu tion have been arrested. Others, who. It ia said, came from New York, arrived yesterday and were presented to the governor-general. Spanish gunboats keep close watch along the coast. The gen eral impression here is that the revolu tion has been subdued. Public opinion Is almost unanimously opposed to the up rising." Martial Lair Proclaimed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Secretary Gresham has received a cablegram from United States Consul Williams, at Ha vana, announcing that martial law has been proclaimed In Cuba. The Spanish minister, Senor Maragua, also received similar advices. According to Minister Maragua's advices there have open two small emeutes In Cuba. The first was in the province of Matanzas, In the south, where 15 men armed themselves and undertook to start a rebellion. The other was in the province of Cuba, where 27 rebels were routed by government troops and six were taken prisoners. The minister has no apprehension of a gen eral uprising. 'o Fear Felt at Madrid. MADRID, Feb. 26. At tho conclusion of the special meeting of the cabinet last night the minister of war. General Do mlngucz. announced that the government had authorized the Issuing of a proclama tion by the governor-general of Cuba to suppress armed bands of brigands In the provinces of Matanzas and Puerto Prin cipe. The ministers denied that serious disorders had occurred, or that troops from the Philippine Islands had been landed In Cuba. MADRID, Feb. 26. The government does not view with alarm the reported state of affairs In Cuba. The .government is of the belief that reforms lately appUed in Cuba will prevent any revolt. Tho Revolutionary Fnnd. KEY WEST, Fla.. Feb. 26,-Several thousand Cubans are permanent residents of this city, and Pearly all of them arc monthly subscribers to the revolutionary fund. This fund, the accumulation of years, and contributed to from all over America, is supposed to amount to several million dollars. For weeks and months Cuban patriots here have been expecting that a blow would be struck, and the rev olutionary flag raised again in Cuba. News from Havana has been spreading very swlf tly, -and Is being discussed In places of Cuban resort. Spies in Tampa and Key West have reported unusual activity among the refugees, and have forwarded some Information of a general conspiracy afoot. The government seems to fear the insurrection, and is taking extreme meas ures to stamp It out. A Strict Censorship. PARIS, Feb. 26. A dispatch to Le Temps, from Madrid, says that a strict censorship Is observed over telegraph messages to and from Cuba. A Notorious Bandit Killed. HAVANA, Feb. 26. Manuel Garcia, the notorious bandit, has been killed. AP TAMPA. The Cubans There Are Ripe for Revo lution. TAMPA. Fla., Feb. 26. Ferdinand Fuguerdo, late this afternoon, received the following telegram from Gonzales Quesada, the secretary of the Cuban revo lutionary club in New York: "The revolution broke out Sunday. The whole island is under arms." Mr. Fuguerdo was in the former revo lution as colonel and Is a prominent agi tator In the revolutionary party. Ills statement Is as follows: "Joseph Marti, leader of the party, left New York January 22 for San Domingo, in which city he was to meet General Gomez, a Dominican gentleman, and other leaders of Cuba. The people needed him there to take the initiatory steps. The plan was to land a small force of leaders. The entire island is perfectly awake to the situation, the result of the zealous work of Mardl for the past four years. During the last revolution, Havana and the Vuelta Abajo provinces did not partici pate, but they have bound themselves to be in the field in this revolution. I think the first show has been made from Ma tanzas. I received a letter Sunday from one of the prominent generals, saying his next letter would be from the field. "The people are well armed. I believe that he Spaniards will not attack our forces, but will try conciliatory meas ures. I believe they will hasten General Martinez Campos from Spain. It was he who made the former treaty and his gen erosity made him popular with our peo ple, but I do not think he will be suc cessful in this trouble. There is a very serious situation. The plans are well laid. The difference between the former and this revolution Is that we have chiefs and soldiers and we know how to take arms from the enemy. We can raise a drilled army from the start. The policy of Marti has been such as to perfectly organize the clubs and colonies through out the exterior so that the most har monious and efficient work can be done. "I received a telegram yesterday from New York, stating a mass meeting was held Sunday and large contributions made. A telegram was received from Key West this afternoon Inquiring about the outbreak, and I have wired that the up rising is a fact." The Cubans here are having a big cele bration. A hundred revolvers were fired at 5 o'clock. The children joined in mak ing the air resound with shouts of en thusiasm. The cigarmakers are to donate two days work to the cause this week. The Spanish torpedo boat Neuva Eschala no went from here to San Domingo to watch the movements of Marti and Gomez. A LETTER TO EZETA. Gonxalcs dettuesnda; Hones for Ch- .I.-- vmr: ..i .rz- - ' SAN FRANCISCO,""' Feb. 26. General Antonio Ezeta, ex-president of Salvador, has recently received several letters from Gonzales de Quesada, the New York attorney, who voluntarily crossed the con tinent to tender his services In defense of General Ezeta, npon the arrival of the latter here on the United States gunb' Bennington, practically as a prison.... Quesada is one of the prominent Cuban exiles in this country. In coming to Gen eral Ezeta's aid the Cuban was Inspired by a sentiment. O -ce, while Quesada was yet an exile from his native land. General Ezeta gave as a toast at a banquet in Salvador "Success to Cuban Patriots." Ezeta was In a position of power. His sympathy met with a ready response in the heart of the enthusiastic Cuban. When General Ezeta was in trouble, Que sada, for this sole reason, came to assist In his rescue. In his letters to Salvador's ex-president he wrote that he had been actively engaged in getting money for the Cuban cause, and that he ardently hoped and expected that this attempt to estab lish Cuban Independence would be suc cessful. Quesada was about to go to the Spanish American states of Central Amer ica and South America to raise money. MARDI GRAS. A Magnificent Carnival at New Or leans. NEW ORLEANS,Feb. 26. New Orleans had a magnificent crowd and a magnifi cent carnival, and, although the predic tions for both days were for cloudy weath er, the sunshine made a glorious fight and scored a triumph over science. The Rex parade took place, and was composed of 20 gorgeous floats, illustrations of fantas tic fairy tales. Outside of the regular pror cession, the number of private floats and miscellaneous maskers was much larger than usual, keeping the spirit of carnival alive throughout the day. Some of the unattached paraders made an elaborate display, a burlesque on the old volunteer fire department being especially note worthy. At night the Mystic Crewe of Comus gave one of its gorgeous parades. The balls at night were especially brilliant. The social reception was at the Wash ington artillery hall, and the throne-room carried out the Idea of the entrance to Olympus. Frank Howard was the king, and Miss Falrchild the queen. Comus held court at the French opera-house, where Miss Emily Pointevent was made the queen. The illuminations of the clubs on Canal street and of the newspapers on Camp street were a marvelous sight In them selves.

El kins, Henry B. Plant, the heads of a dozen railroad systems, and, a number of excur sionists on their way to and from Mexico and California.

GOLDEN RULp BHZHHR TO PREVENT STRIKES THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION BILL PASSED THE HOUSE. It Provides for a Ilonril to Settle Dif ference Between Common Car riers and Their Men. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2C. The house met at 11 o'clock today. Henderson of North Carolina, chairman of the commit tee on postoffices and postroads, called up the conference report on the postofHce appropriation bill, much to the disap pointment of members who were clam oring for unanimous consent to consider bills. The senate amendment, providing that hereafter mall clerks should live some where along the route to which they are assigned, but clerks heretofore appointed should not be required to change their residence, wa3 the only question In dispute between the two houses. The amendment was designed to destroy the effect of general order No. 379, issued by the postmaster-general, requiring clerks to live on the line of their routes. When the order was issued some 1300 clerks lived off their lines. Since then 800 have changed their residence. Henderson had read a letter from the postmaster-general protesting against the senate amendment. But, as it was evi dent the amendment would occasion some debate, Henderson withdrew the confer ence report in order to give Catchings an opportunity to present the special order giving today until 3 o'clock to the committee on labor, and tomorrow to the committee on public buildings and grounds. The special order was adopted without division, and McGann. of the labor commission, called up the national arbitration blh entitled, "a bill concern ing carriers engaged in the interstate commerce, and their employes." The purpose of the bill is to provide a board of conciliation, consisting of the commissioner of labor and the chairman of the interstate commerce commission, whose duty it shall be, when a contro versy concerning wages, hours of Jab&r at conditions ' oCempKrymenT nrose-njerwrrerr a carrier under thlsaet and'thc'employes of such carrier, seriously interrupting or threatening to interrupt the business of said carrier, to put themselves in com munication with the parties to such con troversy, and use their best efforts, by mediation and conciliation, to amicably settle the same, and, If such efforts should be unsuccessful, to at once endeavor to bring about an arbitration of said con troversy by submitting the same to a board consisting of three persons, one to be chosen by the employes, one by the employer, and these two selecting a third. Erdman of Pennsylvania explained the provisions of the gill, which he said were originally drawn by the attorney-general, and, being carefully 'considered and per fected by the committee on labor, today had the support of all the chiefs of labor organizations involved, and of the com missioner of labor. "Does the bill provide a compulsory arbitration?" asked Simpson. "By no means," replied Erdman. "The railroads favor it. The laboring men have adopted it In all Its phases, and their rep resentatives arc here today urging it. The bill has behind it the unanimous sup port of our committee." "When a difference is submitted to ar bitration under the provisions of this bill." interrupted Dingley, ''and the arbitrators render a decision, how is it to be en forced?" "The decrees are to be enforced by the courts," replied Erdman. "The courts can enforce a decree or awards against a railroad company," sug gested Dingley, "but how can it enforce it against employes?" "The employes are to be treated, as far as possible, as Incorporated bodies," re sponded Erdman, McLeary of Minnesota called attention to the section of the bill which provided that all labor organizations claiming rights under it should have in their ar ticles of incorporation a clause providing that members should forfeit their mem berships if they failed to comply with an arbitration award. Fithian took occasion to make a bit ter speech denouncing the action of the president in sending troops to Chicago last year to suppress the strike. He de clared Mr. Cleveland's act was uncon stitutional, and that, when the full facts were known. Governor Altgeld's position would be commended everywhere. "I predict," said he, "the name of Alt geld will live in history as one who in the great crisis in the events of our common country stood for lawful and constitu tional government against government by injunction, government by force, and gov ernment in violation of the law, which Is anarchy of the worst and most violent kind." Speeches favoring the bill were made by Ikert, Henderson and Dunn. On motion of Tawney, an amendment was adopted In the shape of a proviso to the effect that no employe should be punished for failure to comply with an arbitration award, as by contempt of court. Several other unimportant amend ments, together with three offered by the committee, were agreed to without di vision, and the bill was passed. McGann then called the joint resolution to raise the rate of wages of printers and bookbinders in the government printing office from 40 to 50 cents per hour. After some debate the bill was withdrawn. A bill was passed for the publication of the bulletins of the department of labor. The remainder of the day was devoted to eulogies on the life and public services of the late Sydney Post, of Illinois. Those who paid tnbutc to the memory Of their late colleague were Messrs. Hen derson, Lane, Bynum, Grosvenor. Broder ick, Dolliver, Martin, Boutelle and Lucas. Then, at 5:43, as a further mark of respect, the house adjourned. "Sheep and Goat." FAYETTEV1LLE, Tenn., Feb. 26.

The places affected vera about as large as a silver dollar: tlio flesh seemed raw and covered with little bllsteH. The child suffered considerably, and xns nat urally very fretful. I tried several remedies without obtaining any beneficial results; ia fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading and new places breaking out. I concluded to try the Cuticl RA Rejied!E3. I washed tho affected parts with the Ccticuea Soap, tak ing care not to irritate the flesh, and applied CcTicortA. I noticed a change for the better in the appearance cf the eruptions in twenty four hours, and in two wecss the eruptions entirely disappeared, leaving the stin smooth and the scalp clean; In face a perfect cure, as I have not seen any indications of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave tho child only a few dose3 of the Ccticcka Re solvent. I roasider you. Cuticcha 1!exb dies very valuable.
