a good many years since Agent Moore

art of touching off sky rockets, and for-
getiing that'they should be planted in
the ground he coneluded that the sticks
to the rockets were handles to hold
them by as they went off. So taking
hold ot one by the stick be held it aloft

WASHINGTON LETTER.
cman
{From Our Regular Correspo..uent. )
WasHINGTON, Dee. 28th 1896.
There is no more probability
that the independence of Cuba
will be recognized by the United
States during President Cleve-
landTs administration than there
is of Groyer Cleveland becoming
president of the Cuban republic,
and, unless McKinley is misrep-
esented by Republicans who are
supposed to enjoy his confidence,
- the present policy will be contin-
tied by him until there is some
decided change in Cuba. The
resolution for the independence
of Cuba which has been reported
to the Senate will, of course, be
made the basia of a Jot of speech-
es when Congress reassembles,
but more of them will be devoted
tothe claim of the administra-
tion, that the President alone has
the power tu recognize the inde-
pendence of anation than to Cuba
or anything connected with the
uvfortunate island. Whether a
vote on the resolution itself will
be had before the expiration of
this Congress is a maiter of deubt,
but not much importance, as it
has already been given out by
the Republican leaders of the
House that the resolution will not
be allowed to come before that
body at all. The constitutional
question involved in the claim of
the administration is au important
one, and one upon which men
who are regarded as able lawyers
differ regardless of politics, and
the debate upon it will be in no
sense partisan. There is practi-
cally no precedent, though sev-
eral have been cited as having a
bearing upon the claim. And
after all, nothing short ofa de-
cision of the United States Su-
preme Court will be acccepted as
settling it.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
has never set up fora wit, but if
he gets off a few more flashes
like his answer to Senator VestTs
irquiry as to the meaning of that
clause of the PresidentTs message
dealing with the Pacific Railroads
the title will be forced upon him.
Mr. Morgan was urging action to
protect the people of the Pacific
coast from those raiiroads, or
rather from the men who control
them, when Mr. Vest made his
request. Torning like a flash,
the Alabama Senator said with a
deprecatory gesture: oNow in
all Egypt there was only one
. moan, and he was divinely inspired,
who could interpret the dreams
of Pharoah, The Senator ought!
net to ask me to interpret the
_ President's message. If any man
is capable of interpreting tie

lif there should be war at short

prepared and is now in the hands
of Secretary Herbert.
It isas true today as it was
when written by Macauley that,
oWhereTer ye shed the honey, the

Representatiye Barham,of Cal.,
~|thinks the Pacific Railroad fund-
ing bill, which is to be considered
by the House forthe four days
beginning January 7, can be de-
feated. He said: olf we cau get
enough time to show the whole
thing up, I am satisfied that many
votes will be changed. The pas-
gage of the present bill is a pres-
ent of $100,000,000 to C. P. Huut-
ington and his associates. If it

Among the members of the
House who did not go home to
spend their Christmas are a num-
ber of Republicans who were re-
elected to the next House, and
who prefer to stand their office-
seeking constituents off with let-
ters which do not commit them,
iustead of meeting them face to
face and being compelled to com-
mit themselyes. The little post-
masterships are especially trouble
some to the Representative elect
on account of the numerous ap-
plicants tor them. For instance,
one Represontative from New
Jersey has received among other
applicationsfor a single postofiice
in his cistrict, one from each of
three men who were delegates ro
the convention that nominated
him and who took active parts in
his campaign.

Your correspondent viewed the re-
mains of David A. Crandall, Saturday,
day and learned from R, L. Butler the
main facts in the case.
T~ On Christmas morning David A,
Crandall, R. L. Butter and Willi,
Crandall, a younger brother of David,
went to the. house of. John Keel and
after drinking some all went off rabbit,
hunting. When near the residence of
Tios. J, Sheppard Keel proposed, a
wrestle with Butler, Butler says he
told him he did not want to wrestle but
Keel put kis gun down ana ran at But-
ler and threw him nearly down and
when he got up Keel ran at him again
and Butler threw him down twice.
The last time he threw Keel, Keel got
up and said he could whip him if he
couldnTt throw him and catching up
his gun shot at Butler. Butler show-
ed aad scar acro:s his han d where Le
knocked the gun off when Keel at-
tempted io shoot him.
David A. Crandall had been stand-
ing off not takng any part in the row
and when Keel shot at Butler and fail
ed to hit him he ran at Crandall and
snatched the latterTs gun from him and
ran back a few feet and fired at Cran-
da'l, the load taking effect just below
the right collar bone. Crandall lived
about fitteen minutes after being shot,
Keel-has not been caught at this

Two Murders.
-Twe murders in the county in one
week is by no means a good recora,
but that number occurred within our
borders last week. Two negroes were
going slong together in Gritton when
one, seemingly without provocation,
stabbed the other to death and made
his escape,
The parties connected with the other
tragedy were white. Particulars of this
murder are given by our Oakley corres-

fort there is a place where, owing to
the position of the islands and the
peculiar conformation of the shore,
there is always a deep, strong eddy,
no matter which way the tide sets.
The eddy is well known because the
body of nearly every person drown-
ed along the shore anywhere near
itis recovered there. It happened
that one afterneon a small party of
men came to Cavtain Porlake, who)

Porlake if he would send a detach-
ment of men with a gun to help
them recover their friendTs body.
Captain Porlake had been spend-

was in very good humor.
