WASHINGTON. March 22.-The out

for the present week is not very clear.
Nothing is certain except that Senator
Sherman and other of the supporters
of the Cuban resolutions viii ATTEMPT
to force them to finality. Whether
they will succeed in this will depend
on conditions, the most important of
which is the question as to whether
the executive, legislative and judicial
appropriation bill shall be pressed in
advance of the Cuban debate by the
committee on appropriations.
Senator Cullom, who is a member of
poth the committee on appropriations
and on foreign relations, and who will

the senate, had not decided definitely
what his course would be when spoken
to upon the question:; but indicated

confidently expected that the legislative
bill will be disposed of during the
week. so as to have it out Of the way
for the postoffice bill, which is to be
the next appropriation bill reported.
There probably will be two or three
days of debate upon this bill.
Senator Sherman hopes to be able to
continue the consideration of the Cuban
question until it shall be concluded.
He says he thinks it can be disposed OF
by Tuesday and that he probably will
on Monday ask the senate to sit at
night until the vote can be reached.
Senator Hale says, however, that he
does not fear night sessions and that
he has no purpose of prolonging the
debate for the purpose of delay. Among
those who desire to speak are Senators
White, Villas, Palmer. Platt and Tur-

Senator MiEls may also be heard on

A VERY LIVELY RACKET
Dissenting Soldiers Badly Disap-
pointed.
Expected an Explanation of the Diff
ficuIties Between Ba1lingtOn
Booth and His Father, But the Ex-
PLANTATION Did Not Comc-An Open
Revolt Is Promised During the
Week.

CHICAGO, March 22.-Commissioner
Eva Booths mission to Chicago is
claimed by the seceders to be a fail
ure. Salvationists at headquarters say
openly that is the result. At the meet
ing this afternoon of the northwestern
division of the Salvation army, held at
Princess rink, the building was crowd
ed to the doors. Demonstrations of ap-
prevail were frequent during the young
commissioner address, but those who
are the backbone of the northwestern
division were silent. The dissenting
soldiers and officers expected to hear
from the lips of Eva Booth an ex-
PLANTATION of the difficulty between Bal
lington Booth and his father. Her ap-
parent disposition was to pass over the
dispute in silence. Only once was she
Interrupted. That was when she spoke
of the principles ''of the army"
Tell us what those principles are,
please" cried one in the audience.
There was confusion for an instant,
with talk of putting the disturber out
OF doors. Then Eva answered:
Those principles are too well known,
too widely known, too numerous to
mention. For the principles of the
army look to the publications, look to
its work in this city; look to its work
in the world. My times is too limited.
1T has been stated by some who
know very little of cur work that we
wish to Anglicize the work wherever
we inaugurate it. There is no other
organization ON earth that is a greater
believer in the doctrine of When in
Rome, do as Romans do
Miss Booth spoke with tears of grief
of the old general, and he'd up her
brothers and sisters and herself as eX-
amples of the indiscriminating arbitra-
rinass of their fathers orders.
Are you satisfied with the commits
sioners explanation? an officer was
asked after the commissioner adj
dress.
DO you call that an explanation?
What did she say? She talked around
the question we are asking and then
turned the meeting into a salvation
service. Wait till Ballington comes.
Darlington Booth is expected here
next Saturday. He will speak in Cen
trail Music hall and an open r7volt and
transfer of allegiance is promised.

There Was Surprise.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Many were
the expressions of surprise at the head
quarters of the Salvation Army today
when the news leaked out that Colonel
VIM. Eadie, the chief secretary, had
received a cable message from General
Booth ordering him to London. One of
the stipulations that Ballington made
to the three commissioners to get him
to withdraw was that Colonel Eadie
should go to London and never return:
The officers of the Salvation Army and
the American Volunteers look upon
this as the first step taken by the Old
general towards effecting reconcllla-
tfon with his son. Booth-Tucker, the
commander of the
United States forces, who has already
sailed from ENGLAND, is known to be
the bearer of several propositions to
Darlington Booth.

they had been put ashore while the
steamer went down to Norfolk to coal,

Loss 100000.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 22.-Early
this morning fire in the Atlantic REIN
cry caused loss of over 100000 The
fire started from some unknown cause
in the warehouse and before it could
be checked had enveloped the ware
house and spread to the tanks.
The burning oil rushed down from
the tanks and spread in streams of fire
over the properties. The water poured
on the oil had no effect and only served
to scatter it. The fluid rushed over
the tracks of the Allegheny Valley
railroad and blocked all traffic. The
telegraph and telephone wires and
poles near the refinery were burned
down from the intense heat. Altogether
$4,000 barrels were destroyed, most of
it refined.

isterial organ says: "An exhaustive ex-
animation of the accounts published
by the leading American newspapers
Of the debates in congress shows that,
setting aside hypocrisy, the real issues
as some senators point out, is whether
the United States can take possession
of Cuba by force or not.
IF they can, why let them declare
war against us; let them set their
fleets in motion and send them to
Cuba. They need not doubt that we
will receive them as it behooves US to
do If they can not declare war, then,
as the most honorable members Of con-
gress have said, let these debates cease
and let Spain govern herself with the
liberty she is entitled to and which
nobody can limit.
Anything is better than to go on
threatening, and hiding under the veil
Of jingoism is no longer fashionable,

whose aspiration is the independence
of Cuba in order to obtain its annex

THE REICHSTAG.
Four Hundred Members, Past and
Present. Attended Saturdays
Banquet.

LONDON. March GA dispatch from
Berlin to the Times says: Four hundred
past and present members attended Sat
urday's banquet to commemorate the first
sitting of the reichstag in 1871. No social
lists were present.
1t is believed the decision to toast
Prince Bismarck unofficially was largely
due to Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's toast
The toast was very warmly received.
There has been much speculation re-
garding the following phase of Won
Hoheniohes speech at the banquet:
Bismarck addresses many d warning
word TO the epigeme of the great times
that are past
This may refer to Prince Bismarcl1s
newspaper articles and speeches, but the
favorite Interpretation is that it actually
refers to personal advices by Prince Bis
marck to Chancellor Won Hohenlohe.
The Bismarcldan organs, in comment
ing upon the anniversary express disap-
pointment and assert that the reichstag
totally lacks the national sentiment need
ed TO make 1t worthily represent the
people.

Tuesday for her builders trial, re-
turned to her dock today. The splen-
did results of her trial were told in
these dispatches last night. The re-
suits were even better than those &C
complished with the Indiana two years
ago. That ship, on her builders trial,
only got up a speed of 1876 knots for
a short time, whereas the Massachu-
setts sustained that speed over the
ten-naile course and exceeded the
speed of the Indiana under similar con-
ditions by about one knot an hour

weather was perfect, but the Massa-

of her guns as regards the securing of
