city of his birth, for it had been granted
him as a special favor to visit once more

But when he entered the city, he gazed
about him at the tall buildings and the
wonderful signs Of Improvement, and ne

tune was different from that he remem-

knew he was policeman by his autocrat-

eral air of superiority to mankind. To him
he applied for Information. But he was
afraid to ask directly If he was in Louis
vile lest the policeman should think him

THE METRIC SYSTEM
or Weights and Measures Under Discussion
in the House Postofiice Appropriation
Bill Passed by the Senate.

or Weights and Measures Under Discussion
in the House-P Postofice Appropriation
Bill Passed by the Senate.
Washington, April THE House
spent he day debating a bill to fix the
standard of weights and measures by
the adoption of the Metric system on
and after July l, 1898, and a PROPOSE
tion that the government share with
the district of Columbia the expenses
of creating and maintaining a public
library in the city of Washington. The
latter was defeated. 113 to 127, and the
fate of the Metric system bill still
hangs in the balance On a rising vote
it was defeated, 65 to so. Mr.. c. w.
Stone, of Pennsylvania. chairman Of the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, who has given the subject
much attention and who warmly sup
ported it, secured the ayes and nays,
and pending the roll call, the House ad-
journed.
The postofice appropriation bill,
which has engrossed the attention of
the Senate for almost a week, was pass
ed by the body just previous to adjourn
men to-day. The entire day. with the
exception of a few minutes at the be-
ginning of the session, was devoted to
debate and voting upon the amend
ments proposel to the bill. the Wolcott
amendment for the consideration Of
smaller offices with larger ones receiv-
ing the greater share of attention. The
discussion on this proposition again
took the form Of a debate upon the
merits of civil service reform, and was
participated in by Messrs. Villas, VOL
colt, Allen Hoar. German, Stewart,
and others. There were some rather
spirited dialogues between Messrs. Villas
and Allen and between Messrs. Wolcott
and Hill Mr.. Wolcot criticised Secre-
tary Smith for his participation in the
Georgia campaign and was replied to
by Mr. Hill. The amendment was de-
feated by a decisive vote. receiving only
seven votes in its support.

The Cuban Resolutions Presented to
the President, and by Him Sent to
the State Departmental Message
May Be Sent to Congress.

Washington, April THE Senate
concurrent resolutions on the Cuban
question were delivered to Private Sec
retary Thurber this morning by Mr..
Platt. one Of the executive clerks of the
Senate. Later in the day they will be
sent to the State Department, as the
law requires that such resolutions shall
be printed in the book of laws annually
published by the department
Secretary Olney called early at the
White House and remained in close
consultation with the President unde-
TERED by the notice that had been sent
to the other members to the effect that
there would be no cabinet meeting to-
day. There is reason to believe that
the meeting would have been postpon-
ed regardless Of the appearance of the
measles among the children at the
White House, in order TO afford the
President an opportunity for private
deliberaJion with the chief member of
his cabinet. for there is a story current
effect that the two were engaged in the
preparation of a special message to
Congress. OF course. this was imme-
dia,ely assumed to relate to the Cuban
situation and TO be an exposition by the
President of the actual state of affairs
on the island as revealed in the reports
Of the United States consular officers
and other trusted sources of infOrma-
ton.
There is a resolution before the Pres
ident. passed at the instance of Sen
ator Hoar. of Mass, calling for this in
formation Ii is reasoned that the
President, in transmitting the infor-
nation asked, may feel it his duty, in
view of the overwhelming majority by
which the Cuban concurrent resolutions
passed both branches of Congress, to
come out with a plain statement of the
reasons which influence him in pre-
serving unmoved the position he has
assumed toward the insurrectiOn in
Cuba. This view of the matter of
course applies only so long as the Pres
ident is left free to decide upon the
course to be followed by the Govern
ment. 1t may be that he would take
an entirely different view of the matter
if Congress should send to him a Joint
resolution, embodying the features Of
these concurrent resolutions. feeling
that by so doing the legislative branch
had taken the direction of the matter
out of his hand.
While it is thought likely the Pres
ident may send in message to Con-
gress in transmitting the Cuban in
formation requested. it is not certain
that this message will be more than a
formal le of transmittal.
