JLiberty sts, Salem, Oregon, uperior CO WASHINGTON WS Senator Lindsay Pleads His Case Before the Senate, HE WILL NOT RESIGN HIS SEAT Cabinet Discusses the German De cree Against Our Fruit. Washington, Feb. 5. At the open ing of the senate it was decided that when the senate adjourned Friday It be until Monday. A bill providing for the erection of a public building at Beaumont, Texas, at a cost not to ex ceed $100,000, was passed. Lindsay then took the lloor to speak on the resolution of the Kentucky leg islature, asking him to resign. He had the resolution read at the clerk's desk, and then said. "While this professes to request my resignation, it is couched in language which disregards the ordinary ameni ties of life, and is In effect a demand that I shall surrender my place in or der to create a vacancy, and thus make room here for some one holding political views in harmony with the author and promoters of the reso lution. I deslrn to protest against tills usurpation of ungranted power, and I propose to give it ' place on the records of the senate, and to make such comments as I deem necessary and proper under the circumstances. "The subtance of the complaint is that I am opposed to tho free and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio oflOto 1, and that I opposed the elec tion of the nominee of the late Chi cago convention, and by so doing be trayed the trust reposed in mo by my constituency. My constituency is made up of the people of Kentucky, and that peo pie voted against those nominees, and twelve out of thirteen electoral votes of Kentucky were reg istered against them." Tho senator reviewed his votes acainst silver In the extra session of 18U3, which repealed the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and con cen tinued: house. In the house a bill was passed to amend the act of January 31, 1895, granting rights of way through the public domain for tramways, canals and reservoirs so as to grant this sight Tor cities and private corpora tions. At present the rights of way are given only for mining and irriga tion purpose?. Fleming, Democrat, of Georgia, asked unanimous consent to set aside next Monday for consideration of a bill to grant additional powers to the president In tho matter of tho sale of the Kansas Pad He railroad. PowerH, Republican, of Vermont, chairman of the railroad committee, eaid consid eration of the bill would be a waste of time, and that it had already been demonstrated that the senate would not pass a similar measure. Sattuck, Republican, of Ohio, objected to Flem ing's request. A conillct then occured between the appropriation committee and the committee on claims, This was prl vate bill day nnder the rules, but the appropriation committee desired to proceed with the fortifications bill and contested the right of way with the claims committee. Tho appro priations committee was defeated on roll call and the house proceeded to the consideration of private bills. Tho state department has been no tilled by Ambassador White, at Ber lin, of the modification of the decree Issued by the Prussian minister of finance. Dr. Miquel, prohibiting the importation of American fruits. Ac cording to the ambassador's cable, the billdoos not.us he has advised,apply to dried fruits, while fresh fruit will be admitted to entry if an examintion shows Its condition to be satisfactory. It this modification has been made m the decree, It would appear that the prompt representations made by the United States have received equally prompt consldeatlon on the other side. It is certain that if tho decree as originally promulgated had been ap plied to shipments of fruit In transit as its terms indicated, shippers would have been in the right to claim an in demnity from tho Prussian govern mend for any damage sustained by them, and it would be regarded by the United States government as a duty to sustain this demand for In demnity. Tho United States em bassy, during the week, has been Hooded witli appeals from fruit mer chants, dealers and shippers, who have been Injured by the decree, and all of them have thanked Mr. White for the vigorous measures lie has adopted. G. G. Gans is circulating a petition asking Geo. G. Bingham and Geo. W. Davis to become candidates for school directors. Schilling's Best costs more to make than any other baking powder; but you don't have to pay more.

NEW MINES FOUND IS NOT SATISFACTORY Blanco's Conciliatory Policy in Cuba, STRONG DEMAND FOR RECALL. The Ministry Aware That Blanco's Policy is a Flat Failure- New York, Feb. 5. A dispatch to the Tribune lrom Havana 9ays 'Jen eral Blanco has rctunrcd from a trip to the western provinces, which put in the best possible light, has failed to come up to the expectations raised In Madrid. ThcSagasta ministry can not longer deludo itself with the false hope that ttio adhenslon of a few minor Insurgent chiefs Is evidence that the insurrection is disintegrat ing from within. Its power of resist ance is shown by the fact that in all the 'military operations which have taken place during the last fortnight, theadvantago has been with tho In surgents. Thcsituation is that persuasion has failed to win the Insurgents to au tonomy, and the army has hud no bettar success. The Intransigents have their remedy. They are making threatening demonstrations against the captain-general, and telling him the situation is Insupportable, and that the only practical solution Is for hi in to go home. Though'Weylerhas many partisans, they do not look fcr him to return to Cuba in command. The recall of Blanco would be a confession that his policy has been a failure. It is not expected that tho Sagasta ministry will confess itself out of ofllco In this, manner. They talk vaguely to tho effect that the army must be made supreme in enforcing peace, as though the army had not been suprcmn for years It is the frank judgment of compe tent military judges that the Spanish troops in Cuba are in a worse condi tion than the insurgents, through the strength and the resources of the lat ter may be exaggerated. Wcyler failed in his campaign in Santiago. Pando criticised Weyler, but he has done no better. In two months the sole achievement of his force has been to rescue the survivors of the garrison atGuanna. That General Luquc should be driven into Ilolguln from one direc tion and General Linares should seek refuge In the town from another direc tion indicates a fair degree of activity on tne part of the Insurgents in San tiago under the command of Calixto Garcia and Rabl. General Pando has had the extra ammnnltlon he asked for. Everything was done thai the authorities could do for the sol diers. Nevertheless, the sickness Is great. Got Damages. Toronto, Feb. 5.

A special to the Journal from Aberdeen, S. D., says: John Patterson, of Minneapolis, who Is well known throughout the Northwest, is working quietly but persistently upon a scheme to take iuo.ooo men to uuoa and land them thcioon July 4. He says ho Is backed by a-syndlcate of Americans who have large land In terests in the island, and claims that these Americans are anxious to cut up their large holdings and dispose of smau plantations to able-bodied men. They require no cash down, and all the money the Intending purchaser needs Is enough to pay his expenses to Cuba, whjeh. Patterson says, will be nominal. He says there will be enough stcrmcrsat New OilcansJuly .1, to carry 100.000 excursionists to Havana and other points In the island, whore they can land. The company guarantees protection from Spanish Interference from New Orleans to Cuba, and when the men arrive they will be such a lormldablo body that Spals will not dare Inter fere with the peaceful course the settlers Intend to pursue.
