Washington, Dec. 18. Secretary
Olney was before the senate committee
on foreign relations today for a con
siderable lime. All the members ex
cept Gray and Daniel were present-
The rcectir g was held for the ex
press purpose of continuing the uis-
cu9sion of the policy on the Unban
question to be recommended by the
committee. The meeting was strictly
private, Olney being the only person
not a member who was admitted. His
advice was against precipitate action.
The foreign relations committee, how
ever, agreed to report the Cameron
Cuban resolution.
The Cameron resolution was as
follows:
"Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
cf America, in congress assembled,
that the independence of the republic
of Cuba be and the same is hereby
acknowledged by the United States of
America.
Section 2 That the United States
should use its friendly offices with the
government of Spain to close the war
between Spain and Cuba."
The committee changed the Cameron
resolution so as to make it more em
phatic. The tit e was changed to read.
'A joint resolution acknowledging the
independence of the republic of Cuba,"
the words, "the republic" being in
serted. Instead of declaring that the
United States "should use its friendly
offices," the resolution was made to
read the United States "will" do so.
Secretary Olney, it is claimed by
members of the committee who favored
the action, did not have any new in
formation to present. Olney urged
that no action be taken at present, and
pointed out that there is no real gov-
The agreement to report the Cam- J
eron resolution was reached imme-1
d lately after Olney left without a divi
sion or an expressed dmerence oi
opinion. The only division was as to
the time the resolution should be re
ported to the senate. Cameron moved
its report on Monday next. Sherman
suggested that the report be not put
in until after the the holidays. The
Cameron motion prevailed by a large
majority. 'v

BURGLARY AT OREUOB CITY.
Postofflce Safe Blown Open and SS.OOO
Were Stolen.
Portland, Or., Dec. 18 A tele
gram was received this morning in the
United States distsict attorney's office
from postmaster S. R. Green, of Ore
gon City, stating that the office had
been entered last evening by burglars,
the safe had been robbed and in the
neighborhood of $2000 in money, reg
istered letters and stamps taken.
District Attorney Murphy at once
started for the scene, and this, after
noon telephoned to Assistant Attorney
Schnabel the following particulars:
''The burglars are not only experts
at their business, but are evidently
members of a well-organized gang who
have recently arrived in Oregon from
California. The work of the men on
the Oregon City safe is identical with
that of the burglars who on Wednes
day night last blew open the safe of
the Hubbard postofflce. After that
job they "have come to Oregon City,
and are no doubt now in Portland.
'The postofflce in Oregon City oc
cupies the rear of a large store on the
main street, the front of the room
being taken up with a stationary and
cigar store. The burglars effected an
entrance by prying open a rear door
with a 'jimmy.'
They must have gone to the cigar
stand, which was mulcted of its
choicest cigars and a few cents in
change left in the money-drawer. The
men then attacked the safe of Post
master Green, successfully opening it
and taking every possible thing of
value the safe contained, even to the
private papers of Mr. Green, which
could be of no value to them, and the
pennies in the stamp draper. With
cash, registered letters, stamps, etc.,
the robbers must have got away with
at leasta$2000."

telephone, illustiates the old tedious

state, in the course of which tne la'.ter
assured him that Spain might rest
tranquil until March 4, at least, since,
despite the attitude of congress,
President Cleveland would not recog
nize the Independence of Cuba.
A representative of the Associated
Press sought to secure an exppression
frjra the war office on the relations
with the United States, as influenced
by the action of the senate committee
on the Cameron resolution.
Senor Azcarnga, the minister of
war, was suffering irom an indisposi'
Hon, and was not able to be inter
viewed, but a number of high officials
of the war office consented to supple
ment the exp-essions secured yester
day from the office.
These officials staled to the represen
tative of the Associated Press that
Captain-General Weyler has received
instructions to hurry up bis campaign
by the delivery of a bold stroke
against the inxurgents, in order to pre
vent the Cubms from rallyinjr from
the disaster of Maceo's death, - and in
order to deprive the Americans of any

Indians on the Way East.
Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 19. The In
dians who were snowbound over two
weeks ago in the Bald mountains, 65
miles east of Chehalis, reached here
tonight. The bunting party was
headed by John Stimit, an experienced
hunter. For 10 days they lived en
tirely on deer meat. In a big snow
drift under the brow of the mountains
baby was born to Caroline Scow, who
accompanied her bugband on the ex
pedition. Both motherand child were
enjoying good health when the party
was sentrby rail across the mountains
to the Yakima reservation this even

snow in the mountains than they have
ever seen there before.

arrived today. It is not known just
what interests he represents at the

The theory obtained here is that his
purchase of the Grand Island1 would
mean the early consummation of the
cherished scheme of paralleling the
Union and Central Pacific by means of
a union of branch lines built by them
in the height of their prosperity, and
of merging interests with an Eastern
trunk line, the Baltimore & Ohio for
instance, so a" to complete an un
broken transcontinental line between
the two oceans.
Confirmation of this theory is found
in the present movement for a new
short line between Denver and Salt
Lake City, which would shorten the
rail distance 200 miles, and in the fact
that by the construction of 214 miles of
track, the Grand Island could be united
with the Baltimore & Ohio at Beards-
town, 111., obtain a Kansas City and
Omaha entrance and reach Denver via
Alma, Neb., Colby, Kansas, and the
Kansas division of the Union Pacific,
which is not a government road. This,
with the Denver-Salt Lake short line-
would bring about a junction with the
Utah Northern, the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company, and land the Baltimore 6c
Ohio in Portland, Or.

... . ' Cuban-ai.auar. . , .,
Washington, Dec. 20 The state
ment by Secretary Olney of the admin
istration views on the Cameron reso
lution was read with unusual interest
by members of the house. Many of
them declined to express their opin
ions. a3 they declined to comment upon
the action of the senate committee in
reporting the resolutions, on the
ground that it might be considered dis
courteous for one branch of the gov
ernment to criticise the course of an
other. It was apparent, however, that ,
Secretary Olney had made an impres
sion upon the house, and several lead
ers on the republican side indorsed his
views.
Whatever disposition the senate
may make of the resolution, it is im
probable that tho proposition will be
brought before the house this session.
The republican leade , whose hands
are on the throttle, and who direct the
course of legislation, will exert all
their influence to prevent the passage
or even the consideration of the prop
osition. It is possible that if the sen
ate passed the resolution, the Cuban
enthusiasts in the house would vote to
consider it as soon as it came to the
house, without the formality of refer
ring it to the committee, but without
some action of that nature it is prob
able the committee on rules will not
stand in the way of action. Most mem
bers predict that if the resolution or
any other prepared to help the Cuban
revolution was put to a vote before the
house, it would be adopted by a large
majority, -but many who advance this
prediction express the hope that they
mav not be called on to record their
votes. They do not wish to be placed
in the attitude of opposing any struggle
for the establishment of a republic,
yet they do think the reports from
Cuba up to date are too conflicting and
indefinite to justify recognition.
A BENEVOLENT BARON.
Hi Big- Winnings on the Turf Distributed
Among the Poor.
Bather more than a year since, says
the London Telegraph, we gave a list
of the charitable donations bestowed
by Baron de Hirsch in 1893 upon the
hospitals, homes and benevolent insti
tutions which he had selected as recip
ients of the large sums of money won
by him npon the turf in public stakes
in 1891 and 1893. In the first of these
years the baron won about 835,000 and
in the second year about 8175,000, in
cluding such small items as moneys
paid to the second in selling rases and
the prizes attaching to second and third
places in general races. Altogether
the sum amounted to about $310,000,
and this munificent gift represented
the baron's gross winnings in public:
takes, from which no deduction was
made for the expense of training a large
stud of horses, for traveling charges,
forfeits, stakes, jockeys fees and other
items comprised in the large and
swollen bills with which owners of
race horses are bnt too familiar. It
was universally admitted, that the for
tunate owner of the famous mare La
Fleche, by whom the greater portion
of the above named large sum was
won, had displayed great generosity
in giving away all his winnings for
charitable purposes without subtract
ing his expenses. What is to be said,
however, when, as in the present in
stance, the example set by the baron
in 1893 is not only followed bnt dupli
cated in 1894? During the racing sea
son which close ' in November last
Baron de Borsch's horses won in public

him, and to the kindly almoner
through whom in both cases the
baron's bounty has flowed, to be
but a small sum for distribu

me contriDution to lxrndon charities
made in the previous year. Under
these circumstances the - baron re
marked that, without establishing a
precedent, he had made up his mind to
double the sum that his gross winnings
amounted to in 1893, and accordingly
he drew a check for 875,000, which he
handed to his friend for distribution.
It was his wish that this sum should be
divided among London hospitals and
charitable institutions, and $00,500 was
thus disposed of, the balance remain
ing having been reserved for sundry
smaller calls. "'-
THE CAUSE OF SEASICKNESS.
Beginning In the lure Aural Tabes It
Kventnaily Beaches the fttouaaeh.
?-easic'.:ncss starts in the ear, says a
writer in McClure's-Magazine. In its
cavity are three small tubes, cachitent
i.-i a circle, and filled with fluid. The
three sit at right angles to each other,
ln:e the three sides at the corner of a
room or a bos. Consequently, in what
ever direction the head is moved, the
fluid in some one of the tubes is given
a circular motion. Hanging out into
the tubes, from their sides, are hairs
or cilia, which connect with nerve
cells and fibers that branch off from
the auditory nerve. When tho head
moves the fluid moves, the hairs move.
the cells are "fired off," a nervous cur
rent is sent up to the brain and a feel
ing of the head's peculiar motion is
consequent. As for seasickness: This
nerve current, on its way to the brain,
at one point runs beside the spot or
center where tho nerve governing
the stomach has its origin. When the
rocking of the head is abnormally vio
lent and prolonged, the stimulus is so
great that the current leads over; into
this adjoining "center" and so excites
the nerve running to the Btomach as to
cause wretchedness and retching.
Deaf mutes, whose ear "canals'1 are af
fected, are never seasick. But normal
ly the amonnt of ear-feeling which we
get by reason of moving our head in a
particular direction comes in a curious
way to be a measure of the direction
of sound. The feelings we get from
our-: skin and muscles in turning the
head play a similar role. We turn our
ear to catch a sound. We do this so
frequently for every point that in time
we learn to judge the direction of the
sound by the way we would have to
turn the head in order to hear, the
sound best. Thereafter we do not
have to turn the head to get the direc
tion, for we now remember the proper
feeling and know it. This memory of
the old feeling is our idea of the pres
ent direction. If we never moved our
heads we never could have any such
notion of the location of sounds as at
present perhaps none whatever.

A SUN SURFACE.
Ur Henry Bessemer Tells ef the Fell are
of an Experiment.
Sir Henry Bessemer, the well-known
inventor of the steel process which
bears his name, tells how he tried to
construct a "sun furnace' and failed.
His invention, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, was intended to revolutionize
not only the science of metallurgy, bnt
the whole world. It was to attain
temperature of nearly sixty thousand
degrees, and therefore fuse anything
and everything, and Sir Henry puts
the blame of its failure to fulfill these
expectations on the stupidity of a
country lensmaker. The "snn furnace"
consisted of a wooden building thirty-
feet high and about twelve feet square.
A few foot from the ground was fixed
a large inclinable mirror for catching
the rays of the sun; from this mirror
the rays were to bo reflected onto
number of powerful super imposed
lenses above, which, by a simple ar
rangement, were to throw the enor
mously concentrated rays npon what
ever object mizht bo in the crucible
below. Such was the mighty plan, but
the manufacturer of tho upper glasses
brought it miserably to naught, for in
stead of turain? them out uniform ho
made them all different and thus
spoiled the focus. Sir Henry was so
disni5ted and disheartened that he re
fused to go over the grounj aain and
so tho pretentious scheme lapsed, bnt
the peculiar furnace remains to this
day a remarkable monument of. what
might have been. .

Fish have their uses to humanity
