J., April 3 (Jreater :- consternation could not hare been created among the Republican y teadera oi Aewarr than was caused by the diacoTerr that the Voorbees . aapplement to the election laws has already gone into effect and would "-the'ipnnsr election. It had been supposed that the act would .;'affect not be operative until July. ' ; Taxing effect now, it wipes out the " country board of registry and elec tioni, and possibly the district '. election officers, takes away from i the Court of Common Pleas the power of revising the registry for the - approaching election, makes ' . - possibly null and void the registra tion of yesterday, and may throw .-doubt on the election of next Tues- -- day.1 That was all discovered Tester 's day.-The Yoorhees bill signed by ,--tne,-UoTernor, became a law on ' Monday. ; The clause providing that it takes luwt - immroateiY was uu uneuu v Stent. It escaped the vigilance of , the; Essex county members, all of : T whom were under the impression ' that k did not become operative v until July and who watched its progress through the Senate and I- Assembly, " A conf erenco was held yesterday upon the 'bill by .' Jadges Depue, Childs and Kirk- paxncK. xney scrummed u to learn whether the (Jonrt of Common pleas was authorized to revise the registry lists. Their conclusion was that. under the new law the court had no such authority for revision. Purity of ingredients is essential in medicines, else they are apt to do' more harm than pood. Allcock's Porous Plaster is. absolutely pure. It can do no harm. It is effective. As an external remedy for pains in the chest, back or side, it is unequaled. '.

The Sultan of Turkey is sending out Mohammedan missionaries to Africa at his own expense, for the avowed purpose of cheesing the Christian advance in that continent.

Brabble wns born in Cnrrituck county, . ('., Decem ber 23, 1S25, and died in Stonewall. X. C, at the home of her brother, J. O. Baxter, March 15th. 18'.o, be ing in the seventieth year of her age. She was the mother of five children and two survive her. Mrs. S. K. Dawson, of New Berne, X. C, and Sir. J. W. Brabble, f Washington, X. She married Capt. .1. J. Brabble, of Currituck county and from there moved to Plymouth and during her stay there she professed religion and joined the Missionary Baptist church. In l.-vV? she moved to this county, Pamlico (then a part of Craven). In lto8 during a revival in Mount Vernon church, Stonewall her hus band embraced religion under the ministry of Bro. J. B. Bailey, pas tor in charge of the M. E. Church South in this place; she then nni'ed with her husband and joined the Methodist chnrch, and from then np to the time of her death she has lived a devoted christian and was always found in her place when able to get there: during the last six months she was deprived of this privilege. Iler surviving brother and one sister are striving to meet her around our Father's throne. During her christian life her doors were always open to the preachers. Her funeral was preached by our ?astor Bro. J. C. Jones from 23d 'saltn, her favorite chapter. Six months before her departure she expressed an earnest desire to be released and would often express in the langnage of David, "O that I had wings like Xoah's dove I would fly away and be 'at rest." Her suffering was intense but she bore it with christian fortitude and her last hours were as she had often prayed they might be: she passed away without a struggle. She was a kina wile ana an atTectionate mother and grandmother. May God's grace be sufficient for the bereaved ones. May they fol low her example and strive to meet her beyond the river where all is peace, love and happiness. P. A. Baxter. X. C. Christian Advocate and Washington Gazette please copy. Sea BretiM fro as M arshallh-rf , N. C. The weather is fine. Flowers are blooming which tell us Spring is approaching, which is, owing to the extreme cold winter past, a welcome visitor. Farmers are making readv to till the soil. Mrs. Sybil Piver. of Morehead City is visiting her sister Mrs. Mary Blocksome of this place. Messrs. M. T.

Several of the bov. returned last week from the "Land of Flowers'" to the delight of their many friend?. Miss Mamie Iee, of Morehead City was among the number of visi tors at our place last week. Some body looked sad when she went away. Guion Gabriel spent Sunday with bis friends at Beaufort, but returned promptly to school Monday. Messrs. Charlie Scarboro and Leolan Jackson of Ocracoke, former students of Graham Academy arc visiting among their many friends here this week. y?ters are so cheap now that the Marshallbt-rg Oyster Co. have closed out for this sea?on. Mr. Graham, the manager has several bushels on hand yet, but the boarding students are not caring, for they love to fesst on the delicious bivalves. Quite a number of the students went over to Harker's Isle last Sun day to a marriage but the groom failed to put in an appearance, so the marriage was defered to some future time. Xotwithstanding the disappointment, the boys seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. Willie Pate of Bellair, and O. J. Bender of Jacksonville were among the num ber. Hurrah, for Graham Academy, new gtudents are coming in every dav: 105 answer to the roll call. The last boarding student to arr. e j was Kerchner Kelhtm. of Jackson-1 ville.

L. Pope Walker. Mr. Lincoln had culled for his niiO volunteers. The imperial need of the Southern Government was an j army. The people were aflame, i Every mail to Richmond was loaded J with applications for "authority to ! raise a company." battalion, regi ment. .Mr. L. rope Walker was the impersonilicatiou of red tape. His table was heaped with these requests to enlist men. Every morning he would take up a letter, refer it to the Congressman of the applicant for information as to the height, ago, military training, family pedigree, and what not, of the enthusiastic patriot. The Con gressman ten to one knew nothing of the man, and so wrote. In the meantime, armed men were the necessity of the hour. The letters j from citizens red-hot to gather troopers poured in. Where one was considered and granted, a hundred remained unanswered because the i martinet in the War Office could ! not set the size of the girth in inches of the proposed captain. Mr. Pope Walker spent only three i hours in his oftice the regulation time. He needed a residence, and ' rode from street to street, examined house after house, but could not be I suited. He was so particular as to ! location, fire-places, sun in cham bers, and so on. Day after day he j went through vacant dwellings. In I the mean while, he worried himself j into a spell of fever, and took to his j bed . j Our late Dr. Bledsoe was the As I sistant Secretary of War. and took j the sick man's post. He saw the bushels on bushels of j letters on a big round table. In his j brusiiie way, he shouted to the I clerks, as he ran his hand through the heaps, " hat do these cor respondents want?" The clerks, who had read and made memoranda on the envelopes, timidly answered. "To raise troops." Bledsoe, with a (great snort and wave of his hand to i the scribes, shouted "Tell them all I f r cm alioa1 Warriors were wanted at once. It was no time to piddle with everlast circnmlocution and stupid routine. The fortunate illness of Mr. L. Pope Walker saved the Confederacy from oollapse at the start. Fifty thousand men were enlisted by one blast of Bledsoe. When Mr. L. Pope Walker re turned to the war office, he sent a messenger to bring him one letter from the heap he had left for in spection of the handwriting, the quality of paper and kind of sealing wax, so as to get a hint whether the writer was a suitable person to col lect his neighbors to defend their native land. The messenger reported all the bank of letterB gone. The clerks were summoned. It was mildly disclosed that every letter had been answered affirmatively. The prim, mincing and particular Walker swooned! Xevertheless, the country secured what it needed brave legions. WHO IS TH E WL'ILTY OXEJ Responsibility for the Mortrag Bill Narrowing Down to One uf the Clerks The Raleigh Correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger under date of the 4th says: The talk here is still of the Mort gage law. Smith of Stanly and Smith of Cabarrus, the two mem bers of the House who were most decidedly concerned in the matter, have been here several days. Yester day evening Smith of Stanly returned home, having cleared his skirts completely. Senator H. L. Grant, cf ayne, one of the Republican leaders, is the latest fusion arrival. He came, like the others, to see what could be done to prove the bill invalid. Satterfield, chief clerk of the House, hail been charged with aiding in smuggling the bill through. This morning he is out in a long card in which he throws all the responsibility for the act on his brother Republicans. The forgery, for no one now doubts the bill is a forgery, lies letween the clerks of the House and the enrolling clerk. These people are between two fires the fusionists. trying to prove out of it one side and Democrats charging venalitv on the other. A eensation Among Sugar Dealers. Pun. vDKi.rniA, April 4. A stir was created among Philadelphia sugar men today by an order issued by the Sugar trust, directing them to stop handling all imported su gars. A number of brokers say they will not be materially affected by the order, as they ordinarily handle but little of the imported product.. The dealers who will suffer most are importers and small jobbers and the firms who trade in "Scotch yellows" brands. The latter brands which are imported, undersell the lower domestic grades and are used large ly by confectioners. It is stated that about G,00o bags of Scotch yellows are imported annually. The order will be obeyed, it is said, for the reason that a disobedi ence would give the trust an oppor tunity to crush recalcitrant dealers.

Described in its Various Departments by Dr. D, W. Daboey, Chairman of the Government Commission. Dr. Clias. W. Dabney, Jr. chair man of the I'. S. goNcrnnieni nun mission for the exhibit at the Cotton States and International Exposi tion, has returned to Washington. In speaking of the government exhibit Dr. Dabney said: "The material for the government exhibit at Atlanta is now all in hand and can be placed in thirty days if necessary. The exhibit will be very complete and one of the most in teresting in every detail ever made by 1'nclo Sam. To the visitor entering the gov ernment building from t he northeast entrance the first department exhi bit to meet the eye will be that of the Smithsonian institution on the left. "Among other exhibits here will be seen a series of figures illustrating the evolution of the negro from the earliest African down to the negro :vs he is in this country. "Another interesting series of ethnolgical representations will be fisrures of the Aboriginal Indians of the tribes that once roamed through the hills and forests of thr South as the Cherokees, Chicasaws. Creek, etc. "Further on the right will be the exhibit of the patent office illustrating the wonderful triumphs of American genius. Among other models will be a series illustrating the progress of ginning machines from the first cotton gin of Whitney down to tho complicated gin of today. The plow will also be illustrated by models, from the ear liest plow shares down to the steam plow of modern farming, and the progress of other farming imple ments. A special exhibit will be to exhibit the progress of cotton ma chinery. "The workings of the geological survey will be illustrated by maps and models, and presses will be in operation to illustrate that depart ment of the work. "Just beyond the interior depart ment. exhibit in the center of the building will be the exhibit of the agricultural department. Special attention will be paid to the exhibit of orange and citrous fruits, intend ed to show their methods of culture, their diseases, and the methods of preventing and curing disease in the trees and plant. A display will also be made of horticultural and fruit growing tools and imple ments. "In tli is connection will also be made an exhibit of the different soils of the country, their adapta bility to different sorts of agricul ture and horticulture. Plants contained of wax will illustrate plant diseases and the insects that prey on plant life, and the chemicals and instruments used to exter minate them. A full display will be made of cotton plant, both of this and foreign lands, and the insects and diseases that prey on the cotton crop, together with the methods of war waged on them. m "In the ornitholigical and mam malogical displays will be realistic models of the various birds and animals of America, showing their habits and methods of feeding. For instance, one of the specimens will be a fox carrying off a hen, and so natural is the model that it will take a second look to convince the observer that the figures arc not alive. The models are prepared by experts and will illustrate fully the valuable or nefarious habits of native beasts and birds. "On tlie right hand aisle will be exhibited the workings of the Treasury Department including specimens of all sorts of money, bonds, etc,, and a coining stamp in operation. "Owing to Atlanta's proximity to salt water, the exhibit of the fish committee will be the most beauti ful and complete ever made by the Fnited States government. The hatcheries will be represented in operation and all kinds of material used by the fish commission will be presented. "The Postorfiee Department will have specimens of all kinds of mailing implements used by the United States, including a full his tory illustrative of the mail service of the country from models of the first horse-back mail carriers down to the present day. The dead letter office will be shown in operation and specimens of all stamps issued since the beginning will be on ex hibition. "In the annex of the building will be the war and navy exhibits, giving in the fullest detail all the different stvles and armaments of modern vessels, manv models of historic models and models illus trating the progress of naval con struction from the early days of the government down to the present day. "The War Department will ako have a very complete exhibit of guns and equipments, and will show in detail the manufacture of the modern army rifle, the different kinds of projectiles, etc. "As a whole the government exhibit will be complete in every de tail." Mr. Williams, the Child Morderor. Coi.i'MHi'S, Ohio, April "2. Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, who killed her two children at the Park hotel yes terday, was examined by Coroner Herbst in an inquest today. She was perfectly calm and showed no signs of insanity, relating the story of her domestic troubles, the disregard of her husband, for her and the children, her conclusion to end her misery and the children's by murder ami suicide, and how she carried tho plan into effect. It was only when the bloody razor found in the room in the hotel was shown to her that she broke down. After weeping several minutes, she said: "Yes, that is the razor with which I cut Harry's throat.". A letter found at the house at Grove City, and addressed to her husband, was shown to her by the coroner. Though it was nut signed she admitted that she wrote it. It was a long letter and in it she up braided him for his cruelty to his family. She said he hail never cared for anything but his own pleasures and comfort, and that he would have that at any cost. It was not enough that he had send her soul to hell; he had tried to sent the souls of their children there too. She plainly announced her determi- LOTTERIES Florida (ijvemor Wants Laws to Prevent Them. T u i mi -m.k. l-'la., April '.' The Florida legislature eonw-ned at I PJ o'clock today for its biennial session of sixty days. The Legis lature isoverwhelmingly Democratic ! in both branches. Governed-Mitch-jell's message was brief and related almost entirely to matters of only ; local interest. Under the head of "I'ri.e Fight" the Governor said:; During the last year a most dis-j : graceful and brutal light of this' ' character took place in the city of ! Jacksonville, and parties who resort: to this laudable occupation as a , means of making :l living without ! honest labor are boa.-ting that there ' ' is no law in this State to prevent' such disgraceful contests and openly j : boast tiiat another one will be I l"puliea oil at Jacksonville next1 I September, but, gentlemen, you! have it in vour powei to prevent' ' this by proner legislation. j ' ' I recommend that these prize made tight, or glove contests, bo m felonies bv statute, with such penalties attached as will cause these thugs to respect the law and to respect the law-abiding, God ' fearing people of the Slate in the pursuit of all their rights as oil izens. "The law should authorize , sheriffs and llm-r acting in their assistance, when I hey have cause to believe that a prize fight or glove .contest is about to take place, to .enter any house or enclosure, or any other place wherein they may j have reason to believe such contest is to take place, for the purpose of arresting those engaged or about to engage therein. Also that all per sons who may be present at such 'contest, in any wise aiding or abet 'ting the same, by betting thereon 1 or by being present thereat, shall ( be deemed guilty of a felony, ami I upon conviction be punished the same as the pri ncipals. " Relative to lotteries, the Governor says: ! "There has been much said in : the newspapers about a lottery j located at Port Tampa, as to the 1 truth of which I have no know hedge, but respectfully recommend I that the law against lotteries be so amended as to clear that institution out of the State, if here, and to 'prevent others being located in the ! Stale." MiXltO AND GUATEMALA Tlu D iiiite Heiwe-ii 'I hesp Countries Settled Satisfactorily. ni sol ox. April '. The facts W in regard to the settlement yester day of the boundary disputo between Mexico and Guatemala are said to bo these: About a year ago the Guatemalan police broke up a mini her of Mexi can lumber camps which were loca ted in a part of the country in dis pute, and over which G uateinala at that time claimed authority. This tract of land embraced about 4,0 square miles, and is particularly'val nable for its great timber possess ions. While Guatemala insisted upon its control of this land, it was well un derstood between the two Govern ments that it would be relinquished to Mexico after the boundary line had been drawn and accepted by the two countries The indemnity which Guatemala, it is said, will pay Mex ico will result from her action in driving from its territory the Mexi. can citizens engaged there in the lumber business. It will not be a large sum and will not in the aggre gate exceed some hundreds of thou sands dollars, but less than a mil lion. On the other hand, the agreement reached with the Guatemalan Minis ter at the City of Mexico will result in the absolute control by Guatema la of another tract of land embracing l.ooO square milts, which has been claimed by Mexico, but which the Guatemalan Government felt it could not relinquish even through war were to follow as a consequence of this refusal. This land lies to the east of that heretofore referred to, and lies directly in the line of trav el between the Northern and the Southern departments of the repub lic The possession of this land, which aside from its location, is valuable in mineral deposits and mahogany, is of enormous interest to Guatema la and is a matter of far more impor tance than the other and larger tract in dispute. The agreement reached bv the representatives of the two countries yesterday at the City of Mexico, re quires the ratification of the Mex ican Senate and of the Guatemalan Assembly, but it is believed that no difficulty need be apprehended from either of these sources. The Guatemalan -Minister does not know yet the details of the ar rangements signed yesterday be tween his country and Mexico, but he has received from the Guatemalan Minister, in that city, the following telegram : The definite fettlenient of our ditficulties with Mexico was signed to-day. The conditions are honor able and satisfactory to both coun tries. " Never Too O d to Marry. Lv Nciiiiruc. Ya., April :J. Yesterday Dr. George W. Carter, of Portsmouth, a well known Method ist minister, aged about '.' years, and Miss Virginia Statham, daught er of Mr. Thomas S. Statham, of this city, about "21 years of age, went to Washington on the afternoon train with the avowed purpose of getting married. Application was made here to two Methodist ministers to officiate: but on account of an ecclesiastical bar, they were compelled to decline. It is this disparity of age that has occasioned great surprise among the friends of both parties to the affair. I 'n less some unforeseen incident happens to prevent, it is very likely that the couple are now married. Wisconsin Elee-s a Democrat. Mir.wAi KEK, Wis., April 4 Jus tice John B.

While Col. Lusk is feeling much better now than at any time since his return, he has as yet been unable to leave his home and it was there that he was seen bv The Citizen. j When asked for an explanation of t'10 legislature's extraordinary action in this matter, Mr. Lusk made haste to reply: "1 know nothing at all about the bill. No such bill was introduced wdiile I was present, and 1 was there everv time the Assembly con vened with the exception of two days at the commencement of the session when I was doing committee work in Morgahtoii. and while ill during a few of the loseing days. " Seeing that The Citizen was somewhat surprised at these state ments Mr. Lusk continued: "No sir,' I would solemnly swear that no such bill ever came before Itlio l ii il i n i -i r v eomm i tfnn nnil flin Charlotte Observer's statement that it came before the House on the :id, is undoubtedly a mistake, for, although I was sick on the day, in fact not able to stand, I was resting on a lounge in the House and knew everything that transpired. It is true a bill was introduced some time during the session forbidding 'pre ferred creditors,' but it was prompt ly killed by the committee. "It is probably, as some of the papers have suggested, a 'sneak through bill.' Some of the clerks must have passed it. Hut it is difficult to conceive,'' Mr. Lusk said, "of anyone being fool enough to concoct such a thing. It is un just, revolutionary, and should it become it a law the results would be fearful." Mr. Lusk seemed very much con cerned at the turn affairs had taken: and that ho was thoroughly disgusted with this, probably the crowning act of stupidity on the part of his former colleagues, Mr, Lusk made no effort to conceal.

He declares that he knew the bill was tabled the night of March 11th; that he then stamped it as tabled; that he was carrying that bill and others to the Speaker's room so as to separate the tabled bills from those ordered enrolled. Smith, of Stanly, says it was the morning of the 12th when he saw Satterfield have the bill, and that it was not then stamped "tabled" that he called attention to the fact and he says plainly the stamping was done "afterwards, for the date of it is the mil. Satterfield said today : "If any of us are guilty the Demo cratic papers ought to fix on the right party. My innocence is clearly proved. It puts the matter square ly on the enrolling clerk. It is his business to clear himself. I have not heard that an attempt was being made to charge Demcrats with this business. If they had anything to do with it some fusionists in con trol would have to be equally guilty. This bill is on the enrolling clerks minule books as No os. That is the only record there, That is a dangerous thing for him. The bill could have been enrolled outside his office and sneaked in as the bills were being ratified, It was the night of the 1 1th when 1 hail the bill and when Smith of Stanly saw it. I will swear it was then stamped "tabled," when Smith saw it. It was in a batch of bills. I may have said something about en rolling, but not as to this bill, for I did not take bills to the enrolling clerk." Satterfield then said the matter would soon be settled in the Su preme court, lie was asked how he knew this and replied that he sim ply reasoned it out that way. He went on to say that the bill appears on the House journal as a bill to regulate assignments. Smith, of Stanley, tells nie there is no record whatever of it on the House journal: that is, as to its being tablet, lie looked oyer a file of the Caucasian today and that says it was tabled the night of March 11th. Then how about Satterfield 's stamp of the K'th, tallied?" Ilileman and Speaker Walser went home early this moruing. Satter field and Krown are here. The latter was asked to-day if he had found out any thing more, and said, nothing. The Democrats cannot in any way ho brought into this mess. They had no (dorks, no persons on the list of signers of the enrolled bills, and the facts against the fusion ists are clear enough to convict before any jury. The fusionists know this. Speaker Walser confirms what Smith of Stanly says. THANKS FOR THE ARMISTICE, The Emperor of China Acknowledges 1 tie Courtesy of the Mikado. Londok, April 4. The Stand ard's Berlin correspondent says : "The Emperor of China had in structed Li llung Chang to ask for an audience with the Mikado to thank him for the armistice. If Li should be too ill his son-in-law will deliver the message. Li probably will ask that his assailant be par doned or his sentence mitigated."

I tn.o island of Cu ba, arri ved i el' Science ami Farming,'. The growing importance ami dignity of the Department of Agriculture is due largely to the intimate connection which it main tains with a large class ofthe pop ulation. It is commonly supposed that the Department is maintained mainly for the benefit, of the farmer, but this is not strictly the case. The scope of the Department has been so much broadened of 'ate vears, the addition of the Weather Rut can being a noticeable instance, that its clientage is much more extended than merely those whose occupation is that of farming. The distribution of seed is an illustra tion inpoint. The farmers are, of course, expected to reap the main advantages from having placed at their disposal, free of cost, a variety of seeds. The fact is. however, that every householder who has a little patch of garden lias as much right to the packages of seeds a? if he tilled acres. The seed distribution has reached such enormous proportions that a vigorous effort is being made to bring it down within what is regarded as reasonable limits. The present Secretary estimates that since the beginning of the system of seed distribution, tifly-four years ago, there has been expended river three millions of dollars, an average of nearly sixty thousand each year. It is now the intention to furnish only those varieties of seeds which have beon tested and which have been found to be suitable for culti vation in the various sections of the cou ntry. The ordinary varieties are not to be providei I by the government free of expense. This change is largely due to the establishment of the agricultural experiment stations which are scattered throughout the country. At these local points all sorts of experiments can be made in regard to soil and the adaptability of seeds ami plants to the conditions of local climate. In fact, the activity of the De partment, on these practical lines, is a striking phase of its extensive operations. For instance, what is being done in the examination of food preparations. The adultera tion of various articles of food has been a crying evil that, there has been a general demand for come Official supervision. State laws have united with National laws in ac complishing good results. A marked improvements is found m the system of canning goods so that poison from lead tops is of rare occur rence, anil a better quality of tin is used for the cans, More care is exercised in the use of the various acids employed for tin' preservation of the goods. The amount of information that has been disseminated from the Department of Agriculture in re gard to tin1 canned goods alone has practically wrought an entire change in the method of carrying on the business, and ha- contributed materially to the health of tho people. A similar reform may he noted in sin -h articles of common use as tea, .and coffee, and chocolate. and llour, spices, e. The inspection of meat should not be overlooked. This system applies not only to meat intended fordomestie consumption, hut to the products for direct cport. The microscopic inspection has been made especially rigid. Information as to the best means of preventing the ravages of des tructive insects is furnished freely to the public, and great assistance as well as a saving of money has resulted to the farmers of the coun try. The extent of the informa tion which is supplied by the bulletins of the Department can hardly be appreciated by any one t ho has not looked intothe matter carefully. Fvery thing that affects growing plants in all the s.tagc has been made the subject of careful investigation, even tin- habits of birds and animals destructive to plants having been studied, and their geographical distribution has been pointed out. In this way the farmer i.-enabled to form a judg ment as to the character of tin crops most likely to succeed. In fact, if all the information that is made available is acted upon by the farmers, they ought to be well equipped for practical work. JYrhaps, moreover, the Agricul tural Department scientist are fond of using unfamiliar language, and perhaps their style is iw-y and interesting, and hence the bulletins are not read and studied as gener ally as their distribution might imply.

CUBAN SYMPATHIZERS Hold a Mass Meeting In Jacksonville, Fla., and Urge the United States to Accord Belligerent Rights to the Patriots. J i ksonx n.i.K, Fla., April 4. Gonzales De (Juosado, who is now the head of the Cuban party in this country since Gen. Martis' depart ure, accompanied by Col. Fernando Figueredo and Dr. Fermi Yaldeo Dominguez, arrived here from Tam pa this morning. They were met at the depot by tho reception com mittee, consisting of It. .1. Martinez, K. M. Del Cado and J, T. Cancio, and also by about fifty Cubans, and escorted to the resilience of Mr. Cancio, whose guests they aro while here. Tonight a mass meeting was held at Metropolitan Hall to express sympathy with the Cubans in their effort to throw off Spain's yoke. There were fully S00 people present, including the most prominent bus iness men of tho city. Among those present were I'nited States District Attorney Clark, I'nited States Marshal McKay, Postmaster II. W. Clark, Mayor D. . Fletcher, City Attorney Hans anil Judge Gibbons, of the City Court. The meeting adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That it is the sense of the American people here assem bled: 1. That they most heartily sym pathize with the Cuban patriots in their desires and effort- to free Cuba from foreign control, and obtain for the people of that island the right of self-government so niin-h prized by us. They have vastly more rea son for their action than hail ur forefathers, of whoae action we are so proud , and they will persist in their pat riotio endeavors until Cuba is free. 2. That it is the duty of lovers of free American institutions to express their sympathy for the oppressed people of Cuba, anil their desire to see them free. .5. 1 hat we urge upon (lie legis lature of the State of Florida the duty of formally by resolution ex pressing the sympathy of the whole people of Florida with the move ment for a free 'n ba. 1 hat we urge upon our Federal Government the duty of promptly recognizing the Cuban patriots as belligerents and doing all in their power to procure the recognition by the Spanish Government of tho freedom of the island of Cuba. That we call upon all American citizens who sympathize with the Cuban patriots to make known their sympathy in order that their moral support may be given to a good cause. A Parody on Justit'P.
