CONTRARY TO INTERNATIONAL LAW They Consider, Was the Cuban Vote in the American Congresi Condemned bjr the Spanish Press. Madrid, April 8, Students and mem bers of the national party here are re ported as organizing a demonstration against the United States in view of the recent vote of congress on Cuban bellig erency. The chiefs of the various sections of tile Republican party have planned to hold a meeting tonight to make arrange ments for a big demonstration to pro test against the Cuban vote in the United States congress, which the Re publicans consider contrary to interna tional law. CUBAN LEAUEBS MKET. Possibility of Recognition by President Cleveland Discussed. New Tobe, April 8. An informal meeting of Cuban leaders was held at the Hotel America last night. The pos Eibility of Cnban belligerency being act ually recognized in the' near future by President Cleveland was discussed at length. All seemed to' be sanguine of the disposition of congress to pass a joint .resolution which would insure action on the part of President Cleveland. "Mr. Cleveland," said Mr. Portnon do, "is the great political conundrum of the present time. We can only pursue our unequal struggle on the island and continue to hope. We have done that from the beginning and have much in the Bhape of the result to . encourage us. "The plan of sending a commission of Investigation to the island, sometimes attributed to Mr. Cleveland, would prove an absolute failure for the purpose in tended. Such a commission, even if tolerated by Spain, could accomplish nothing of value, simply because Span ish officials, when under the eye of a commission from a civilized country, would naturally be on their best be havior. Tho same might, of course, be said of our own armies, and yet we have always welcomed correspondents in the field and have and do court investiga tion. "General Gomez's conduct of the cam paign has been from the first, and will continue to be, one of humanity, justice and truth." Mr. De Armas regretted that friends connected editorially with the American press, should waste breath occasionally by speaking of autonomy as a condition which Spain should be induced to giant to Cuba. "The day for Cuban autonomy," said Mr. De Armas, "is irrevocably past."- Mr. Joaquin Castillo, in speaking of an impression which seemed to prevail in official circles that the rainy season now setting in, in Cuba, would be a season of inactivity, eaid: "General Gomez, it is true, passed the rainy season of last summer in apparent inactivity, but the world will soon see that the coming season will be anything but a period of inactivity." Metric System Adopted. - WashixgtoiI, April. 8. By a vote of 119 to 117, the house today passed the bill to adopt the 'metric system of weights and measures, in all the depart ments of the government, after July 1, 1896, and make it the only legal system after January 1, 1901. - ' '' "" Dockery moved to reconsider and C. W. Stone moved to lay 'the motion on the table. - - 1 ' The motion to lay on the table failed 111 to' 133. Opponents of the bill fol lowed up their .victory by pressing the motion to reconsider, which prevailed 141 to 99. After this defeat Stone attempted to withdraw the bill. Dockery objected and insisted that after the time spent on the bill it should be killed outright. Stone, however, thought a majority would vote for the bill if it were amended in several par ticulars, and therefore moved to recom mit it. The motion carried 130 to 39. A poem commemorative of the event will be presented" by Mrs. Ella Higgin son, the gifted daughter of a pioneer family, for , many years a resident of Oregon City, but whose home is now in New Whatcom, Wash:' THE IVORY INDUSTRY. It Means Death to Seventy-Five Thousand Elephants Annually. One-fifth of the world's commerce in ivory comes to Great Britain, and it will astonish most people, says Answers, to learn that 15,000 elephants have to bo killed every year to keep our markets supplied with the precious substance. Altogether, to keep the whole world in ivory apart from fossil tusks 75,000 elephants are slaughtered annually. Africa is the great ivory country ; and in. the Congo basin, the best hunting ground, there are supposed to be about 200,000 elephants, worth altogether about 500,000. The average weight of ivory obtained from o, single ele phant is about 50 pounds. Tusks weighing about 100 pounds each have been procured, but this is very rare. The most expensive tusks are those used . in the manufacture of billiard balls; they-cost, as a rule, 110 a 100 weight. Ivory dust and shavings are used by confectioners to stiffen the more ex pensive kinds of jellies. The scrapings are often burnt and made into a paint known as "ivory black," worth about 20 a ton. The hardest of all ivory is that ob tained from the hippopotamus. It will emit sparks like a piece of flint when struck with steel, and is principally used in making artificial teeth. Horses Regular at the Bath. The horses which are used on the Kennebec rice fields are so accustomed to dropping through the ice that they don't seem to mind it. They are yanked out a little roughly, to be sure, but they take their medicine like the chickens belonging to the family that was con stantly moving, which, every time they saw a covered cart stop in front of their house, would turn on their backs anil stick their legs into the air to be tied together, ready for transportation. Another Immense Log Raft. Preparations arc making for building another immense log raft on Puget sound, to be towed by sea to San Fran- ciscoe. Last year a large raft was towed from the Columbia river to San Fran cisco and the undertaking was a big suc cess.

In all probability some one will have to pay for a broken leg before many dark nights will have passed. Soon after the repairs made on thai piece of walk was made a few months since, one of the pieces of decayed board; with which the width was pieced out, gave way entirely. Piece No. 2 has been good to walk on till now. It has followed the example of No. 1, and both are gone. It would be an act of wisdom, on the part of who ever will have to pay for damages, if this discreditable work would receive imme diate attention. None But Ayer's at the World's Fair. Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra ordinary distinction of having been the only blcod purifier allowed on exhibit at the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact urers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule for bidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums.' The decision of the world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect' as follows: "A yer's ' Sarsaparilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits." ' : You hear it almost everywhere, and read it in the newspapers, that Simmons Liver Regulator is the best liver remedy, and the best Sprintr medicine, and the best blood medicine.

But blood tells, and as a blood purifier and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg ulator is the best medicine. ' "I use it in preference to any other." So wrote Mr. 3. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio.
