HEWITT AND MORRISON.
The Dilemma of Two Presidential
Candidates.

Representative Hewitt, of New York, is
bound to vote for MIR. Cox on the first bal
lot at least. lie would prefer to vote for
Carlisle first, last and all the time, as he
has personal grievance against Mr..
Randall. 1t was expected that Mr.. Hew-
lit would come on to Washington and
labor in the interests of Mr.. Cox, but word
has been received at the Cox headquar-
ters that Mr.. Hewitt is i'll. He is great
sufferer from insomnia and it is feared
that lying awake nights thinking of the
vote he must cast for Cox has aggravated
Mr.. Hewitt's malady.
The arrival of Mr.. Morrison will give
fresh impetus, it is thought, to Mr.. Car
isles boom. The Kentuckian called upon
Mr.. Morrison at Wizards this afternoon,
and they conferred together. Much sym-
pathy is expressed for Mr.. Morrison IN
the trying position in which he finds him
self placed. Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, is
an aYowed candidate for Speaker. That
he should not receive all the Democratic
votes of his delegation on the first ballot,
at least, would be remarkable, and Mr..
Morrison, consequently, must vote for
Springer while whooping for Carlisle.

that no January interest will be paid on

FREEING CUBA's SLAVES.
The Widest Latitude to BE Given Then
in Constituting the Law.

III COHsIfulnS Gne Law.
HAVANA, Nov. 20.-The official gazette
has published a royal decree ordering
that all doubts concerning the application
of any part of the law for the gradual
abolition of slavery shall always be re-
solved in the sense of the widest latitude
for the liberty Of the slave or
patrocinado, and that therefore the
owners of patrocinados, when the
latter have acquired their freedom, shall
not compel them to pay indemnities for
their children. The decree argues that
although the law is not very explicit on
that point yet it clearly orders that under
no condition shall the families of patro-
cinados be separated, and that If the
parents were obliged when freed to pay
for the rescue eff their children, other sec
tions of the law providing for the gradual
abolition would be violated; and, further
more, that it would be unjust to compel
freedmen to pay for the liberty of their
children when the law of 1880 denies to
the government itself the prerOgative of
indemnifying the owners for the loss of
their slaves.
