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18U3, which repealed the purchasing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.

rible crime tomorrow. I'm going to
committ a tragedy that will shock
the whole community."
After the crime, Bird, w ho believed
that Bell intended to kill him, made
a statement which led to his arrest.

der of the striking miners at Latimer,

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. Judge McMahon
in the high court has given judgment
in an action of interest to trade
unions. A stonecutter named Bcau
lleu sued the other members of his
branch of the Stonecutters associa
tion of America for conspiracy in
accusing liim of fostering a strike,
expelling hlin from the association.
Tho judge decided that Huch action,
although unjust, did not constitute
conspiracy. However, he gave the
plaintiff $300 damages for libel, be
cause the charges were printed In the
journal of the union.
Fruit Exporters Act.
New York, Feb, 5. A conference
was held of all tho large exporters of
American fruit to consider the unex
pected attitude of Prussia in prohib
iting the importation of fruits from
tills country. All tho leading export
ers wero present, and It wasfound by
comparing notes that more than 25,-
000 barrels of irult were either in
transit or already at German ports
which will be prohibited from enter
ing. The exporters of fruit decided
to forwarded an appeal to Washing
ton, asking that tho government try
to get the embargo raised.

A Cuban Scheme.
Minneapolis. 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.
Patterson says he has been very suc
cessful In securing men from the two
Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota,
and a gigantic excursion Is assured.
