THE CUBAN QUESTION
Takes ON New phase in tho senate-Mr.
Calls Resolution.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan, H.-The
senate put aside finance and foreign
affairs to-day and gave the day to work
On comparatively minor bills on the
calendar. About seventy bills were
passed, clearing the calendar of much
accumulation and leaving only the Inn
portnnt measures pending.
The Cuban question received brief
and inconclusive attention early in the
day.
Mr.. Gail tDem., Florida read tele-
gram from Key West us follows:
Marquis Rodriguez has been taken
from steamer olivette last Wednesday,
Louis Samaiiien and son also taken
N Havana. All are american citizens,
Get them out OF grasp OF Spanish au-
thoritles,"
Mr.. Cali offered a resolution rectttng
the arrests and directing the executive
authorities TO ascertain II any Just
cause for the arrests had existed, and
II not to demand their immediate re-
lease.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the tone OF
the resolution was too imperative.
There seemed TO he an idea, Mr. Hoar
said, that the senate OF the United
States Is q constantly loaded cannon,
which can be touched off at any time by
a senator.
Mr.. Call answered that he wishes to
know whether the American flag at
orded any protection to its citizens.
He referred to the arrests OF Americans
IN Cuba while citizens OF other coun-
tries We're not disturbed.
Mr.. Sherman pointed out that such q
resolution might give the senate trou-
bic in other cases, II should go to
the committee on foreign relations for
appropriate consideration.
Mr.. Call said that II was the duty OF
the senate to act on Information such
as this telegram gave. He desired the
people TO knoy he was ready to act
promptly. although he did not object to
committee consideration.
Mr.. Cullom, (Rep,, Ill.) a member Of
the committee on foreign relations,
stated that hD understood that there
could be a communication from the
secretary Of state. perhaps to-day, us
TO arrest OF United States citizens in
Cubu, land MS to the general subject"
He urged therefore that there be no
haste.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that II this dis
patch wns shown TO the secretary OF
state he would Immediately take ap-
proprlate action.
Mr.. Call answered that he had al
ready called the attention OF the secre-
tary to the subject. but the senator re-
gnrded II ms duty OF the senate to not,
Independently of the executive branch.
It was finally agreed that the resolution
go to the committee on foreign rela-
tlons.
Mr. Call again returned to the Cuban
subject by asking Mr. Sherman what
was to bG done as to another pending
resolution asking the state department
FOR the Information furnished by. the
United States consuls In Cuba.
Mr.. Sherman replied that he regard
cd the resolution as incxpedient, 1t
might eRdaREer the coaspls and thou
snndg OF lives II confidential communi-
cations woro made public. The senate
should not attempt to draw mysteries
II there were mySterIes-from the state
department at time OF war. Such
action was needless unless the secrcta-
ry OF state waG not doing his duty,
which was not apparent.
MIR, Call did not further press his
resolution. =

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2l.-The
house to-day passed the urgency defic-
iency bin. The bill carried A,4lb, ,922,
&. 10. $50 of which was for the ex-
penses OF the United States courts.
The abnormal growth OF expenditures
for the federal courts came In for q
good deal OF criticism and there was q
general expression in favor OF q salary
system.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, made q statement
and called especial attention TO the
enormous deficiency OF $3,242,5 $50 for the
expenses OF United States courts, which
shows an abnormal growth OF this
branch OF the public service OF more
than 100 per cent. There was, he de-
cIared, urgent necessity for re-
form. The fee system ought to be
abolished and fixed salaries provided
for United States attorneys and United
States ularshnls.
Nh. sayrcs (Dcm.. Texas) agreed with
Mr.. Cannon as to the necessity for re-
form. Unless the present system was
changed the expenses OF United StRtcs
mnrshals and United Stntes commits
sionerE would increase year by year to
an enormous extent
Mr.. Henderson (Rep. Iown) said that
In tho lnst Congress the Stone bill had
been prepared. but had fallen. he had

having been found upon examination
that the salaries provided in It would
exceed the expenses under the pres
ent system.
Mr.. Haiaer tReP.. Ncbl challenged
Mr. Hcnderson's statement as TO the
stone bill That bill, he said, would
produce considerable reduction of
expenditures. II had been re-introduced
and would he pressed ut this session.
Mr.. Lacey (Rep., Iowa) argued that
the fee system was responsible for
the bringing OF many frivolous suits,
He cited nm instance where man In
the western district OF Arkansas held
the positions OF clerk Of the United
states district court. clerk OF the cir
cult court and clerk to the United
States commissioner. and drew over
$4,000 in fees. He declared that the
whole system was honeyc0Hbed with

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.-About
February | Tho treasury department
will resume the coinage OF silver dol
lars and continue until about $lS,O00,0O0
have been coined. When the present

we're in the treasury about $2O, ,000, 900 In
silver dollars, coined from bullion un-
der the net OF 1880 and available for the
redemption OF treasury notes Issued In
payment for the bullion purchased.
Since August, 1898, about SlS,0O0,0OO of
thcae notes have been redeemed In Bil'
yer dollars and cancelled. The secreta-
ry Of the treasury has now decided TO
coin from the bullion on band and pur-
chase under the act OF 1890, about $lS,-
100000, which will restore the amount
OF dollars in the treasury TO what II
was on March 4, 1893 The average
cost OF the silver bullion purchased un-
der the Sherman act was 7fia cents on
the dollar, which leaves gain or
seigniorage Of 2Sh cents on the dollar.
At this rate the seighlOrage on the SIS
100000 TO bG coined would be S6,iSe,8eG,
which will he accounted for In the
available cash on hand. increasing It
by that amount. The order for the re-
sumption OF the coinage ut the tntnts
