comuare well ana the decline was less

what better Mosl apinners arc now fairly

cialt!es. The minor markets We're fairly
active. For The Lcvant the demand was
improved. Prices were low. Nllt were less
irregular, and the comparison of margins
was certainly not for Woise a fair
number OF looms are starting. German
spinners were quiet and less cheerful than
recently. Rouen was doing well.

Washington, December 2o,--There is very
little probability that there Will be any
change IN the programme OF congress Tor
nm adjournment for the holidays on the
22d inst. because of the Cameron Cuban
resolution. which will be reported to the
senate tomorrow morning. The rules OF
the senate provide that In case OF single
objection reported, 1t shall go over TIL the
mex, day. Consequently II an attempt
were made to have the resolution consid-
cred tomorrow this objection would be
forthcoming. great many senator's have
rnnde their preparations to leave the city
far the holidays and 1t Is thought unlikely
that a quorum can be mustered ON Tues
dav nv which business can be transacted.
and this point would be raised If the Cam
crou resolution was brought forward.
The statement made by Mr.. plney yea
tcrdAy is still n subject of earnest discus
sion on some hands his position ~ tuily
sustained while on others II IL admitted
that from purely teonnicai sta.cnl."' v.
law the uecretarys position Is correct. but
tina, certainly he violates the principle OF
the constitution.
Those who make this contention reverse
the circumstances. supposing, they say,
that the president declared that he intend
ed 10 recognize rcpupllc hhu 'h"t '"hst 'ss
should pass resolution declaring IT thsir
Judgment that no such action s1ouli ne
taken would II be possible for the rr"si-
dent, In the face of the position of both
senate and house, to use the executive PRE-
rogative and recognize n republic? This
| institutional point has for the time beng
suppIanted in interest the resolution i'self
and II IN known that when the resolution
Is brought forward for discussion that a
debate Of considerable interest and length
will eusuc on this subject.
| Tho position of Mr.. Olney, setting forth
that of the administration, will doubtless
have It's effect in some quarters Of the sem
ate and II is said tonight thar sufficient OPP
position can be mustered to defeat the res
olutinn.

thing that bore the slightest resemblance to

1t Is said that there were also three ca

and crews of eight men, which were also
engaged in the work OF conscription The
Spaniards wording on the banana planta-
lions took to the woods whenever they SOW
