Associated Press Special Wire.
WAsHINGToN, March 15.-The indica-
tions are that the Cuban question and the
Dupont election case will continue to
claim the greater share of the attention of
the senate during the present week,
though other matters undoubtedly will be
considered at different times. An agree
ment was reached two weeks ago, before
the Dupont case was taken up, that the
bill for the settlement of the accounts be-
tween the United States and the state
of Arkansas should be made the unfinished
business for tomorrow. If this agreement
is observed it will, for the time at least,
displace the Dupont debate. There is also
an understanding that in case it is made
apparent that the Cuban matter can be
speedidly disposed of the managers of Mr..
Dupont will not stand in the way.
Senator Sherman is exceedingly desirous
of getting the Cuban resolutions out of the
way at the earliest practicable time, and
will press consideration. The senators
who are opposing the resolution are, how
ever, not inclined to fall in with this de-
sign, and there is now no prospect of an
immediate vote on the conference report.
1t is intimated that the president is likely
to send message to the senate on the
Cuban question in response to Senator
Hoar's resolution of inquiry, and if he
should do SO, it uuquestionably will have
influence either in eXpeditng or rctarding
final consideration of the question in the
senate. Senator Lodge will be heard to-
morrow on the immigration bill, and Sena-
tor Pugh ON tariff and silver. Senator
Morgan probobly will make the next
speech on the Cuban question in reply to
Senators Hale, Hill and Hoar, and Senator
Chandler will lead off the debate in the
Dupont case when its consideration is re-
sumed.
IN THE HOUSE
A variety of matters makes up the pro-
gram for the week in the house. Tomor.
row is committee suspension day. under
the rules, and several bills will probably be
called up and acted npon, among them the
Oklahoma homestead bill. The bill for
the administrative features of the tariff
law, which had been carefully formulated
as result of extensive hearings before the
ways and means committee. will be brought
forward on Tuesday. As the adminstra-
ton of the custom laws is largely a
technical matter concerning which there is
little general information, the bill prob
ably will pe passed in day unless general
tariff discussion is precipitated. This is
not at all unlikely in view of the present
activity in the country. The naval APP
preparation bill will follow. AS the ques-
ton of the expediency of adding to the
new navy is involved in this bill, its possi-
bilities for subject for debate are very
wide. 1t is not believed it can be disposed
of this week. but if by chance it should,
the report of the election committee in IA
vor of unseatng Mr.. Boatner from the
Fifth Louisiana district will be called up.

WICHITA AS SHE is.

Governor Morrill, must be very ploud of his
work at Wichita. A gentleman of this city a
few days ago wrote to Republican lawyer at
Wichita on a business matter and incidentally
inquired respecting the morals of that city un-
der the present Morrill, regime. To-day, he
received reply to his letter, and among other
things the Wichita Republican lawyer writes
as follows:
81 understand that Governor Morrill, made the
recent change in the board of police commits
sioners in order that the law might be more
fully enforced This is the result of such
change: In this city there are now thirtytwo
licensed saloons or joints six gambling houses
and forty prostitutes-all under police protec-
ton"
And this is the "redemptionn and "business
administration" which the Republican outfit
promised to the people of Kansas if they would
elect the Morrill, ticket in 1894.
1t is now very clear that redemption un-
der the Republican machine definition means
the open saloon, the licensed gambling hell
and the house of prostitution. Just think of
it, you honest, moral, orderloving Republicans
having abored to secure such all end Proud
OF it, aren't you'
And you going to be asked to give your
endorsement to this definition by your vote this
fall. And you going to do it, are you?
Can't vote against the party. These are the
points that must be met in the coming state
campaign and we have no doubt as to what
the moral, high-minded men of Kansas will
give as verdict. Kansas will not, cannot,
go backward. The progressive spirit of her
people moves them forward to higher plains,
not down into the valley of the shadows.-To-
