Argumenti for tlie Defense Yet Uesun-Slewn of the Mill City. Thousands of the patriotic sons and daughters of Norway yesterday afternoon witnessed the consummation of the work of the Ole Bull Monument association in the unveiling of the magnificent Fjelde statue of Ole Bull and the presentation to the city of Minneapolis of its first work of art in bronze, heroic size. It was a festival day, indeed. One in which all citizens took great pride. It was a source of gratification to the committee having the vast enterprise in charge and a proud day to the Norwegian citizen, who collectively constitutes a large proportion of the population.

The day was an ideal one in every respect. A more beautiful May day could not have been anticipated. Shortly bei'ore 3 o'clock the parade arrived. This parade had formed at Danla hall with the following societies in line: Normanna and Svea bands, Norsemen's Singing society, "Frain," Norwegian Total Abstinence so- i ciety, "Hugnad," and the Nor- wegian Y. M.

C. A. With martial music this division marched to Third street, to Nicollei avenue, where it was augmented by Sonner af Norge, and other Norwegians from the North and East sides. Under the marshalship of Hagbarth Hermansen, physical instructor of the Norwegian Turners, the two a total of 1,20 marched up Nicollet avenue to Tenth street, from this point to Harmon place, and from there to Loring park. As all the societies carried their banners, arid some of them were uniformed, the line was a most imposing one, and was one of the prettiest civic parades ever seen in Minneapolis.

With Normanna band playing the Norwegian national march, "Sonner af Norge," the line entered the grounds, where places had been reserved for the different societies. By this time fully 25,000 people had gathered about the statue. An endeavor had been made -with ropes to spread the crowd out, but they broke their license, and the police were unable to keep them back. It was, however, not a boisterous assemblage, and the management accepted the freedom taken with good grace. Shortly after the arrival of the parade, the announcement was made that the governor and his staff was present.

This party was shown to a section immediately to the left of the statue. In this stand were also seated the invited guests of the Ole Bull Monument association. Immediately to the right of the statue a stand five feet high had been erected. This was reserved for the members of the executive committee of the Ole Bull Monument association, members of the park beard, city officials, judges of the supreme court and newspaper representatives. To the front, and in Immediate proximity to the statue, was seated Miss Ragnihild Sorensen, upon whom the duty to unveil the statue was involved, and her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. S. Sorensen. The speaker's stand was directly to the left of the statue. The singers occupied seats in front of the towering column.

Danz's orchestra was seated on a stand behind the statue. It was but a few minutes past 3 o'clock when Prof. Eric Oulie raised his baton, and the first tones of the Ole Bull festival march vibrated forth from the violins. Being the first public rendition of the compositions, the musically inclined Norwegians lent more than a passing interest to the number. It must be said in favor of it, that its conception and arrangement was admirable.

He allows Scandinavian thoughts to enter into it, and it permeates with songs taken from the fields. It was accorded a hearty reception. Because through his great art Norway's fame went to farthest shores; because of what he has done to make Norway truly great and free and independent, we Norwegian-Americans have raised him this statue. We have reaised her In America because faithful son of Norway as he was. he learned to love the people of this great republic.

When kings tin vain did sue for favors, fellowship and friendship at his hand, he cast his lot among us. and cast it here because he loved our institutions; because he was proud of our government; because he felt at home among a free people. He once saiid: "Next to being born in Norway jl deem It the greatest honor ever bestr on me that I have been permitted to an American citizen." We have built this statue here as an object lesson to coming that those make the best aco-pied citizens of this republic who love their native country most. Tlig 17th of May was Ole Bull's great festive day. On that day of all cays did his violin sing proudly as on no other occasion, the beautiful songs of Norway's old grandeur; its new-born liberty: of its hopes: and of its future.

In his old age he became young again on that day. Iliis face beamed. His heart bubbled. Why should It not? It was Norway's independence day! I feel certain that today, in the sunny land where he new dwells, and where they will have given him a violin "with sun rays for strings." he is tuning that vriolin now preparatory to singing on it the praise of Norway's liberty day. And if, from his lofty stand, he can see us gathered around his statue, on Norway's festal day, I am certain that the beautiful smile when took the world by storm, again lightens ud his countenance.

Metl inks I see him nod approvingly as if he said: "you have understood me correctly, my friends. It is in free America I -loeee my features first itnmortaiized iir thendcroal -and- it is on Norway's all people to first gaze upon them. Throusrh Norway's -nature, as through the life of its sons and daughters, there runs a thread of sadness of sorrow. Even in their gladden mc.ments, when their joy is wildest, you will always hear, if you listen carefully enough, a suppressed sigh. In all Norway's nalional music, you will a' ways find an undertone in the minor key; sober, earnest, gruff: sometimes wild and despairing as the wail of a lost sometimes like a glittering tear, but always sad and sorrowful.

It forms the theme of all their melodies. So. in the midst of this joy. there forsooth, come a shadow over our glad faces. He who created yonder masterpiece, soon to be unv.eiled to the public gaze, is not with us today.

It was the ambition of Jacob life to be permitted to create a statue of Ole Bull. He had sat under the spell of his bow and he felt ihat in moulding the mighty contours on the figure of this patriot he could give the worid a truer conception of his own great genius than ever before had been vouchsafed him. H's wish was sTanted. When told that he could proceed with this statue he set about it with feverish haste. Never have I seen in hia eye such a gleam of hope, of happiness and satisfaction, but at the same time there was a queer glance which spoke of anxious and nervous apprehension.

It was as if he had a premonition that this was to be his last great masterpiece, and that he must work on without rest while it was day, for Boon the night would come when no one coulil work. "When the rarest high work of his genius was completed when the last niusning touches had been made he laid down his moulding pin. never to lift it. again. Ills life's greatest work was done.

Ho laid down to rest the rest from which no one awakens. But his work will live, and that you all may greet the benign face and grand figure of Fjclde's hero, Ole Bull, I now, in the name of the Ole Bull Monument association, the young lady to whom this honor has beer, granted, to let the veil which has hidden Ole Bull from our view fall, that all the world may see him and do homage to his genius. Ragnhild Sorenson stepped forward, her gloved hand grasp. THF fiSTNT PACI, GLOBE: TUESDAY, MAY ftTTSW." Ed the silken cord that bound the veil inclosing the form of the master. Before many were aware of it the veil had unfolded and fallen at the feet of the statue, revealing: the laibors of the late sculptor, Jacob Fjelde.

A burst of applause followed, which was, however, immediately oheoked by Mr. Arctander, who, raising: his hand, invoked silence. At this moment Alexander Bull stepped forth, antf by the side of the statue of his father rendered "The Chalet Girl's Sunday." Danz'e orchestra furnished an accompaniment. The muted violins came like a distant echo, finding their way down through some mountain fastness. It was more like a sad sighing from some unknown world, but furnished a most harmonious accompaniment to the beautiful air rendered, and it was with reverence that the large gathering listened to the sweet composition of he whose form stood molded before them.

At its conclusion Mr. Arctander again arose and announced the words which were the formal' conveyance of the statue and monument to the city of Minneapolis. Mayor Pratt made a speech of acceptance, and in turn formally presented the statue to the park board. President Folwell, of that board, duly acknowledged the gift. "In Lonely Moments," a composition by Ole Bull, was sung by a chorus of Norwegian singers.

It was the last feature of the exercises, and the great multitude then dispersed. EVENING EVENTS. At Dania hall the Norwegian Turners held forth in merriment last evening. A musical selection was rendered by L. O.

Shibley, which was followed by the address of the evening bjr Henry J. Gjertsen. This was followed' by a presentation of the Norwegian'eomedy ''Ingvald Enersen," by the Norwegian Dramatic club of St. Paul. Horizontal exercises were given by the turners, also wrestling and tumbling exhibitions.

The Norsemen's singing society held an interesting festival last evening at Harmonia hall which was attended by a great number of people. The programme opened with music by Oulie's orchestra. G. J. Lommen, of St.

Paul, followed in a 17th of May address in which he carefully reviewed the historic events which has made the day one of importance to the Norwegian nation. The Norsemen's Singing society contributed a selection which was followed by a short address by G. Bie Ravndal. of Sioux Falls, S. D.

The evening's entertainment closed with the one-act musical idyl "Tilx Saeters," which was presented by the dramatic club of the society. The entertainment was followed by a ball. At Foresters' hall, Twentieth avenue north and Washington, the Norwegians of that end of the city had ample occasion to appease their patriotic feeling. Music was rendered by the Norden Singing society and the Norden orchestra. The addresses were delivered by A.

T. Grotte, Lars H. Rand and Prof. JO. J.

Breda, of the university. A shor? hop concluded the evening's enjoyment. The Sons of Norway entertained last evening in Foresters' hall, Twentietn avenue north and Washington venue. It was a gala occasion, a fitting climax for the events of the day. The hall was many being unable to get beyond the hallways.

Enthusiasm was high, and the programme of speeches and music furnished was received with significant attention and applause. J. O. Stebig occupied thb chair. Seated with him on the platfcrm were the two speakers of the evening, Aid.

Lars M. Rand and A. T. Grotte. ONE THOUSAND VISITORS.

It is estimated that there were not less than 1.000 visiting Norwegian- Americans in the city yesterday, whose sole mission was to be present and witness the unveiling ceremonies of the Ole Bull statue. Nearly all the different parts of the Northwest wert represented, including many from I other states. Probably the largest I delegation was from West Superior, which was represented by 100. Most of the visitors will leave today, while quite a number where convenient took evening trains. All the visitors were satisfied with the arrangements, and ex-pressed their appreciation of the efforts of the monument association In connection with the assembling of visiting Norwegians, the Northwestern Scandinavian Singers' association held its convention at Oulie's hotel yesterday morning.

The election of officers resulted as follows: President, G. T. Hailing, Duluth; vice presidents, A. G. Floan, St.

Paul, and L. J. Hjort, La Crosse; corresponding secretary, T. Hamann, Sioux Falls; recording secretary, Henry Peterson, West Superior; treasurer. O.

M. Olson; musical director, Prof. Eric Oulie, Minneapolis; chief G. Bie Ravndal, Sioux Falls. It was decided to hold the next at Duluth in 1898, the date to De decided upon later by the executive committee.

SPJO Defense in Dnrnaiu Catie "Will Beg-in Its Argument When the trial of the Dunram case was resumed yesterday morning. Mr. Ncyes moved that the court direct a verdict for the defend- ant, on the ground that the evidence did not I show facts sufficient to warrant a verdict of I guilty.

Mr. Noyes argued his motion, on the ground that the evidence diid not bear out the assertion in the indictment that the offer of the bribe had been made to a co-partnership. I Even supposing that the law allowed the al! legation of an offer to a co-partnership, the evridence showed conclusively that the offers had been made to individuals, and that the partnership had never been mentioned, nor had both partners been present at any time i when the alleged offer was made. The court denied the motion to direct a verdict, and the i county attorney began his closing to the jury. Mr.

As though breathing love and affection, and expression of the spirit of the coming enj campment, GOO jessamine roses were received yesterday by the members of the local comj mittee of Elks, from Hunter A. Craycroft, of Dallas, Tex. Accompanying the flowers was a request that the recipients present a bouquet of them to the prettiest young lady in the city, and to express the request that she meet Mrs. Craycroft. But It was willed otherwise.

Each of the members of the local committee have an extensive acquaintanceship, and each is of the opinion that in that group is to be found the fairest damsels in the city. Hence the conflicting opinions. The flowers are beautiful and deliciously fragrant. They served as an incentive to the efforts of the members who speculated upon the effect the arrival of 10,000 of them dally, I as has been agreed upon, will produce throughout the city. The thanks of the members are returned to Mr.

CrayciofU WAS SOUL INSPIRING THE 3 MAGNIFICENT I'UOUH AMME OF THE MINNEAPOLIS MAY MUSICAL BARRON BERTHALD WAS ILL, BUT MME. AND BIG. OAMPANARI SHARES) IN THE 110 a i BOSTON FESTIVAL ,6 ORCHESTRA, id Mrs. Blootdgood and Kin Oat a Concert ProKramlmc of Rare Choice music interpreted by rare artists filled the spacious auditorium of the Minneapolis exposition building with "the concord of sweet sounds" last night. It was, from an artistic standpoint, a worthy and most auspicious inauguration of the May inimical festival of the Northwest.

It uld not be otherwise with such artists as Signor Campanari, Mme. Lillian Blauvelt and Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood on the programme, supported by the Boston Festival orchestra under -he iirecMon of Emil Mollenhauer. Nothing was lacking to render the concert york enjoyable but the presence of a solo tenor of equal rank with the other artists. There a disappointment was In srcie.

Barron Berthald, whose singing of the "Prize Song" from "Dte was awaited with ions cf much delight, did not appear. He was suffering from a cold, it was announced. His absence was much regretted, especially by those who had heard him with the Damrosch Opera company.and the lack of his vibrant tenor was gnost noticeable in the sextette from "Lucia," though Campanari sang with the energy and volume of four ordinary men. Signor Campanari and Mme. Blauvelt were the stars of the evening.

That is indisputable. Campanari, finished artist and musician that he is, sang with a fervor and intensity that captivated all. His first number was the exagting prologue from "I Pagliaccl," which is away beyond the capacity of many a baritone singer of more than average culture. Those who have heard baritones try to sing this composition should hear Campanari spg it. "It is so different," to express it in the popular phraseology.

In response to an emphatic encore, Campanari sang the "Figaro" song from "The Marriage of Figaro." While essentially of a humorous and pattering character, this song, too, is the property of none but artists of the first quality. So effectively did Campanari reveal its rollicking gayety that he was not allowed to escape without responding to a second encore. When, after repeatedly bowing his acknowledgments, he finally returned to sing, and the dashing symphony of the "Toreador" song foretold what was corning, the audience applauded in advance. Campanari sang only one verse, but that; last note will never be forgotten by those who heard it. Such a resonant, musical organ under the absolute control of a consummate artist affords a rare pleasure.

If Campanari carried away his hearers with the "Toreador," Mme. Blauvelt certainly captivated them when she sang that dainty, exquisite waltz from Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet." Mme. Blauvelt is' gifted with a soprano voice of unusual sweetness of tone, crystalline in quality and invariably true and accurate. She sings with the ease and facility that bespeak the artist. Her execution is smooth and adequate, her trills musical, and her high notes round and clear as a bell.

To her accomplishments as a vocalist Mme. Blauvelt adds the graces of a pretty face and attractive stage presence. It is a long, long time since the devotees of music have heard in the Northwest such a rich and mellow contralto voice as that possessed by Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood. This highly interesting artist likewise unites beauty of person and the gift of song.

It' she did not arouse th-e enthusiasm inspired by the more florid and dramatic character of the arias sung by Mme. Blauvelt and Campanari, Mrs. Bloodgood certainly did win the admiration of all for her beautiful voice and expressive singing. She possesses a pure contralto, of a singularly rich and resonant quality, and absolutely free from the suspicion of a break or division between her upper and lower a rare virtue contraltos; Mrs. Bloodgood pang the sweet and plaintive aria from Simson and Delilah," and as an eiuJora was insisted upon, she it.

In the absence of Mr. Berthald, Sliss Jennie Mac Spencer, of Doslon, sang an aria from the "Maid of Oriesr. The final vocal number vv.s the immortal sextette from "Lucia," v.Mch was splendidly sung and waft gruc-ced with enthusiastic applause, though the substitution of a female vcice for the second tenor part nee; robbed the number of its full feiJcet, Though the concert programme has received first attention, the festival opened with the singirig of Bossini's magnificent "Stabat Mattr." Blauvelt and Mrs. Bloodgood and J. H.

McKinley (tenor) and Meyn (baritone) were the bulgiKs. The chorus numbered over 300 youny ladies and gentlemen, comprising the State University Choral Union, assisted by other competent singers. The work of the chorus manifested a marked improvement over that noted at the concert given at the People's church last fall. The final the soprano solo, with of the "Stabat Mater" proved the most effective. Mme.

Blauvelt sang brllj liantly. Mr. McKinley is to be commended for his singing of the "Cujus Animam." which he interpreted with appropriate spirit. Mrs. Bloodguod's voice was most effective throughout.

The quartette were finely shaded. The orchestra, numbering about sixty pieces. acquitted itself Ir. aMiUoc to sup! porting the vocalists, the orchestra the i "Die Meistersinger" overture, and Svercson's "Carnival In Paris." While the audience was highly It cannot be said that it inov-gi a goodly number were present. SPhe attendance will unquestionably show a noticeable increase i tonight, when Calve, the qunn nf a'l Cnimens and a star of the first magnitude, will appear and sing.

Londoner Just Deceased Regained That Relic of Klngr George Time. There has recently died In the Bast End of London an old gentleman (a centenarian), who is locally reported to be the last person in England to wear that curious fashion of head dress common in George time, a "pigtail." With his queer little queue of white hair, nattily tied behind with a knot of blue ribbon, his corded knee-breeches low buckle shoes, a large flowered coat down to the hips, and plumcolored open coat that showed the bigfrilled shirt and tight stock, the old man was quite a picturesque feature amid rather squalid surroundings. He had been considered quite a dandy in his youth, and the new fashions were none of them so smart as when he played the lady-killer, "about Boney's time." He was very vain of his tail, and I often prided himself, in his weak, qua- vering voice, of being "the only gentleman left that was dressed as a real gentleman should be." His sole regret was that he was obliged to have his hair braided by others, when his own poor hands grew too feeble to perform the duty; but to the very last he always chose his own particular tint of hair-ribbon, a certain "correct" shade of dark indigo blue. TOOK THE LAW LITERALLY. The Coroner Was 'Not Posted on Law, but Tried to Do His Whole Duty.

A very ignorant, but well-to-do, citizen from the backwoods was elected coroner of a small county. A few days after his election he amazed the ordinary by asking that functionary to point out his duties for him, says the Atlanta Constitution. "Why," said the ordinary, "when a man drops dead, or is killed by an engine, or blown up with dynamite, you simply impanel a jury and sit on him, and then render a verdict." "That's jest what I done two hours ago," said the coroner, the citizens are "Kickin' about what?" "The man what I sot on." "Well?" "Well, you see, hit wuz this way: He drapped by the railroad thar, an' hollered out: 'Boys, I'm dead!" "Vv ell?" "I wuz standin' in three feet of him, an' as he hollered them words, 1 jumped him." "Jumped him?" "I mean sot on him jest like the coroners air required by law; as I weigh right smart, he kep' purty quiet after I landed!" "But he was dead before you reached him, wasn't he?" "That's whar the question comes in! Ain't but one thing erbout it that's shore an' certain, an' that is he wuz dead when I got up!" ONLY THING They Had Left That Wasn't in Dun. ger off Being Duplicated. The merchant was puzzled and thoughtful, says the Chicago Evening Post.

"That's a pretty hard proposition," he said to the young man. "As I understand it you complain because your coat, your overcoat, your vest, your shirt, your collar, your necktie, your shoes, your golf stockings and even ycur trousers are duplicated in the wardrobe of the up-to-date girl, and you are anxious now to get something that is essentially and unquestionably masculine." "That's it," said the young man. "I should like to feel that I had discovered something in the clothing line that pertains exclusively to man." "I don't think of anything of that sort just now." said the merchant, "and even if I did and fitted you out the chances are that some woman would have it duplicated inside of twentyfnur hours, unless unless just the thing! Strange I never thought of it before! Just step down to the shoe department and I'll fit you out with a pair of heavy calfskin boots with threeinch soles and cavalry tops." ALL And Made an Attempt to Throw Himself Overboard. "While on my way to Oils country from Liverpool, I witnessed a dramatic I scene." said J. Bunncker, of Hong Kong, 1 China, at the Auditorium hotel yesterday, says the Chicago Chronicle.

"With about 500 i other passengers that filled the steamship Majestic, I was endeavoring to pass the trip I in a congenial way. Among the passengers was a young American from one of the Southern States. He had been in Europe for over a year, and had lately returned from Monte Carlo, where he had lost a large sum of money. He tried to make up his loss on i board the ship. I was among the number i that played cards with him.

While the stake i was pretty heavy no man stood to lose more than £100 at one sitting. Luck was against this young man. and he soon lost all the i money he had left. "I was Informed that a certain young woman on board the ship was his fiancee. She was accompanied by her parents, and I was told the young couple we're to be married soon after arriving in this country.

As the young man lost his last bill he jumped up from the table and made a hurried exit from the cabin in which we were playing. With another player I followed him. and just in time, aB it proved afterward. Rushing to the side of the vessel the rash fellow was about leap overboard. His promised wife was on deck at the time, and a scream from her attracted the crowd.

He was caught in time and taken to his cabin. Here he begged that he be allowed to kill himself, as he was ruined. How It turned out I cannot say. The captain of the boat asked the passengers to keep the matter a secret. I know the young man's name, but I could not give it out for publication." Husbanding Their Resources.

A PLEA FOR CUBA INTERVENTION IS ASKED BY THOSE INTERESTED IN TRADE WITH TIKES ISI- V.MJt GREAT INTERESTS INVOLVED. AMERICAN INVESTMENTS THREATENED WITH ANNIHILATION IP THE WAR DRAG'S ON. RESTORATION OF PEACE DESIRED. Memorial Submitted to the Secretary of State Calling Attention to the Matter In Point. NEW YORK, May Firms and Individuals in this country, who are interested in trade with Cuba, and who desire peace In the island as soon as possible, sent today to the secretary of state a memorial setting forth how their business interests are suffering, and giving facts about the struggle in Cuba, in the hope that measures may be devised to terminate the war in the island.

The memorial is as follows: The subscribers to this memorial, citizens of the United States doing- business as bankers, merchants, ers, steamship owners and agents in the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, SavannaJi, Charleston, Jacksonville, New Orleans and other plaoes, ar.4 also other citizens of the United States, wlio have been for many years engaged in the export and import trade with the island of Cuba, finding that their several Interests are suffering severely from "A BACK BAUAKCE." the long continuance of the struggle now going on in the island of Cuba, desire to present for your careful consideration the following facts, in the hope that you may find in them a sufficient justification of this memorial and may be able to devise measures whereby the termination of the struggle between the armed forces In the island of Cuba may be hastened and the sufferings and losses of your subscribers may be relieved and commerce may be re-established between the United States and the island of Cuba. The magnitude of the American commerce with the island of Cuba is readily shown by citing the volume of trade with that island for the years 1893, 1894 and 1895. in each or which the value of our imports Cuba exceeded $75,000,000. Our exports to Cuba ranged in value from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year during these years, and had been even greater in previous years during the reciprocity treaty of the United States witli Spain. The struggle in the island of Cuba has continued for more than two years, to the serious derangement of our commerce with the island, our Imports from Cuba shrinking in value to some $30,000,000 in 1596, and our exports to Cuba in 1596 amounting to only $7 000,000 so far as ascertainable.

Many of your subscribers moreover have in terests in Cula, either as property holders on of mortgages or in thpsHape of business credit advances, and your sn'oscrihers see ttiese interests, already seriously injured, now threatened with annihilation by the continuance of a state of affairs, under we can neither operate any business in tho Island for Cuba with safety nor take the precautions possible in ordinary times to protect our Interests. The rainy season is now at hand in Cuba, and, as military operations of any magnitude are made virtually Impossible for thonext five months by reason of the tropical climate and rains, the relative position of the two contending parties cannot be greatiy altered during the summer months. It appears to your subscribers that for the reasons abovo cited they may venture to lay these facts before you, most appropriately' at this time and they sincerely hope that you may be inclined, in view of the magnitude and importance of the Am or tear. interests that are involved to give careful consideration to the serious blow inliicted upon our commerce and) trade by the present disturbance in Cuba and to determine upon the expediency of taking measures may -facilitate '1 an honorable reconciliation between the contending parties. The restoration of peace In Cuba now or within the present rainy season would probably not only rescue from destruction the large interests of the Americans there at stake and serve to re-establish an important branch of our nation's commerce, but would prevent further loss of life, destruction of property, widespread distress, hunger and suffering that are inevitably increasing accompaniments of an armed conflict, such as has existed for over two years now in Culba.

Tour subscribers especially solicit your speedy consideration of this matter, desiring relief for their own large interests involved, and desiring also to aid in securing the inestimable blessings of peace for ono and a half million of residents of the Island of Cuba now enduring unspeakable distress and suffering. The great cause of true humanity will toe furthered jointly with that of American commerce hy such measures as your subscribers trust you may deem expedient at tiili Juncture. CIBAITvOTE. If It Is Not Reached the Tariff Bill liny Suffer. WASHINGTON, May There is a possibility of a clash between the friends of the Cuban belligerency resolution and the tariff bill.

The advocates of the Cuban resolution apprehend that their opponents will make an effort to prevent a vote before next Monday, when the tariff bill is to taken up under agreement. Senator Morgan is hopeful of securing a voto before that time. Senator Mason, who is an enthusiastic supporter of ths Cuban cause, said tonight that if a vote should be prevented this week by filibustering tactics the tariff bill could not be taken up Monday. "We must have a vote on Cuba before the tariff is considered," he said, "or we shall see some filibustering such as the senate is not used to." DIED FROM A SPIDER'S BITE. Sufferings otf a.

That night after supper he complained that did not feel well, and went to bed early. In the morning the family were startled to find that the boy's were swollen and several ugly-looking blisters hid appeared on his face. He did not seem to bo in pain, and went to work aa usual both Wednesday and Thursday.
