I must confess, however, that while 1 believe that Sunday closing In Eoglr.nd would lie of great value, I should prefer our fiiends to. limit their efforts in Hie cities, at any rate, to cloEe the public house Bave fur one or two hours on Sunday. . I should like this exception inadu because I believe that otherwise we shou'd have what would be distinctly : class legislation, and so long as it is not practicable to close the club of the rich : man, which is in tffect his public, house, . I do not think that we have any right absolutely to close the public house of the working classes, except by their own vote. :.. Tou nnd I, my comrades, tire workers in this cause, because wo leel that a new standard has been raised; because we feel that the new woman will demand from . man the purity that he asks of her. We are here because we believe that in this dawning ceutury the economic indepen. deuce of woman will bo a tact, and not a fiction, that woman will hold in her hand tBc bread-earning weapon by which she will be able to maintain herself until the day comes when, not irom necessity, but from choice, she links her life with that of the one whom lie loves best; when we shall no more talk ol whether a man can make a good provision, but rather , whether two souls meet in that divine , sympathy and that mutual understanding that alone makes marriage sacred. It is ... because of these considerations that believe there yet shall pass away the fig ' are that is the most sorrowful of all from - the stony streets of shame whfiSue now - treads the woman who by reason ' of her own devotion and the depravity of man is held captive by Jhe heaviest chain that ever weighed upon the weary limbs or any elave.

New Yobk The fact leaked out in the Federal building that a large party of Cubans and a consignment of arms and ammunition lor the Cuban army left Pier B, Jersey City, on May 9 last un known to the Government officials. The men and war material lelt on the steam ship Flamhorough, which runs to British Honduras, and were transferred to an other vessel somewhere between here and that port. One of the men who sailod on the Flamborough and who was transfer red, was Captain Samuel Hughes, who tried and acquitted in conuectiou itu the first attempted Cuban expedition of the Beririuda. . It was learned that at the in9tauco of the Spanish authorities here active watch was being kept upon several ve9'-els now in this harbor, one or all of which is re lieved to have been chartered to take out Cuban expedition. . . Mouile, Ala. The Cubans who were on the Bermuda expedition to Cuba, and who came here on the steamer Clearwater ten days ago via Honduras, left lor Tampa on the steamer Algers. They were well lotlied and vowed that they had been well treated by the - Cuban sympathizers here. The report that they were to transfer to a steamer awaiting them out Bide is not creditel. Agalnet Butler's lull. Special. Washington, D. C, June 8. It ii said that the majority of the House Com- mittee on Ways and Means lavor adverse report on Senator Butler's anti-bond bill. Annexation of Crete. London. The Vienna correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs that he learns from Athens that the Greek nation, the government, and the Crown Prince, all favor the annexation of tho Island ot Crete by Greece. Such a favorable chance as the present one is not likely to recur. The King, however, would do anything further than offend Russia, but, neverthe less, he cannot long resist the will of the nation. His abdication is hinted at. The Primo Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs were clotetcd witli the King for hours to-day. There are many indications hat the recent inaction of the government will be abandoned. The Daily News has also a dispatch direct from Athens, which gives details of the critical situation in Crete. It says that the Turks are pillaging and burning the villages in tho vicinity of Rntttno. It is slated that seventy-five Turkish soldiers were killed and forty wounded in the recent fighting at Tsavaro and Vamos. Federal Court Ended. Special. Raleigh, June 3.

Charles Braxton (colored), for twenty years a freight hand of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, may be called a silver man. At least, be hat thown quite preference for the white metal, and bis reasoi.t ror so ' doing are probably as sound as many oi those advanced by sidewalk politicians when they get into an argument on the money question. , . During the patt several months Braxton has been tuklng the metal Into hi sjstcm in such quantities as to cause serious injury to bis physical system. About yrar ago the darky, who ii nearly 8S years old, began to complain of ill-health and soon after ho became convinced that an enemy bad injured him. lie visited hoodoo doctor, who advised him to eat powdered silver. It was absolutely neces sary, the doctor told him, that ho should flic the powdir himself from a silver coin and partake of It every morning. After the superstitious negro had followed this prescription for a few weeks, his friends became alarmed, and several days ago thi-y appealed to Detective-Sergeant Hall to prevent the Unfortunate man from con tinuing to poison himself. Braxton dsclurtrt that hfs system is lull of lizards and siiakus, tnd that only silver powder will kill him.

UNPR0- The Senate Committee Finds Twenty Heven Porta at an) Enemy Mercy. Ten Billion Unprotected Prop, ertjr. NkwTobk. The Senate Committee Coast Defenses, acting under a resolu-l tion of the Senate, has been for the past three days inspecting the foriifications at this port, aud returned to Washington, Senator Watson C. Squire, of the State of Washington, who is chairman of the com- mittee, was the last to leave town. The Senators from the interior got ac object lesson that thov will never tact. Thev learned that there were just two of the direct fire gun3 ready for actual use at Sandy Hook, and that even these two guns were without men to handle them, At Fort Wadsworth tliev found five -isht-inch cum that have not been em- - placed, whh a ten-inch gun at Fort Ham- ilton not mounted; the carriage for this one not being iu readiness, so that the un might as well not he there. Senator Squire said that the committee would make a report before the close ot the session. He was sorry to find such a poor state of affairs, but tho truth must be told.- Twenty-seven fforts would be actually defenseles in case of an attack by an enemy, lie said, and flO,OOU,UuU,UUU worth of destructible property would be at the mercy of the atiacking party, $4,000,000,000 worth of the property .be ing represented in New York aloue. Senator Squire said 'The committee was instructed and directed to visit and examine the harbor defenses of the city of New York, it fcing understood and known that the port ot New York was better protected thau any other of the 27 ports from Portland, Me., down. "We sailed to bandy tlook, where we .mm,.l ;., Hai a 1 1 ii, a uni-i,. ni ,i,.fnao Inr il.ia liorlmr Wn inat f,.nn,l tn if the direct fire ruus ready to be fired; only two, and they were without Hie ttails to complete them. We tound lb mortars ready to be placed, but without conning powers, rangers, or anything else. Then we viMtcd Fort Wordsworth. Here there are five eiuht-inch guns not yet completed. It will be some time before they are ready. At Fort Uamiltou we found a 10-inch gun that might as well not have . been there, for it is not yet mounted, "The torpedoes were all rig'it, but the casements on shore would be useless when not protected by guns. "On Sunday we turned our attention iu the Sound. Here there are five points that should be properly defended. These do not include Fisher's Island and sur roundings. At Willett's Point we found two 10 -inch guns not yet cm placed. There were also three or four eight-inch direct fire guns. Here is the scat of tho great torpedo school, but these torpedoes are really of no value uulcss protected by guns on shore. They undoubtedly form a most deadly defense if properly protected witli guns, but these are not protected. 100,000 Girt to Ht. Loo Is. Special. , Nkw Tohk, June 8.

C Senator Lodge was told by a representative of Mr. Mc Kinley, who had just come from Canton, that Mr. McKinley would be glad to have him take the second place on the ticket with him The McKinley man began the I conversation by the statement that M'. I McKinley was still hoping that Speaker Reed would take the second place on the I ticket, and then, when Senator Lodge said that was out of the - question, since Mr. Reed would never accept the nomina lion for the Vice Presideucy, the McKin- ley man said tlmt.ifMr. Uecd could not be had Mr. McKinley would like to have one of Mr.'.Reed's friends aud would be very much pleased to have benator Lialge ninsell. Lodge replied that lie appreciated the compliment, bat that he preferred his place in the Senate to the Vice I'residen- cy, and it is expected that tlie McKinley men, failing to get Speakei Reed, will take a New Yorker for the second place on the ticket, One of them said to-day that the dith- culty was to choose a man in New i ork who would be generally acceptable, mean ing apparently by that one who would be approved at once by ex-Senator Piatt and by the anti-Platt Republicans.
