Ing of the state league of Republican
clubs is carrying on, there has as yet
been no uprising of orators ready to

terday, as for several days, in fact,
the wires have been warm with mes
sages, although. to tell the truth, most
OF them have been going one way. At
the close of business last night the
committee was still as far from the
goal, apparently, as ever, as far as the
pyrotechnical display is concerned, and
local talent will have to be secured to
spellbind the visitors from the back
districts.
o. B. Lewis issued an official call
yesterday to the. clubs of Ramsey coun-
ty to elect delegates to the meeting Of
the state league, 1t says:
Every club is entitled to five delegates,
Of whom the president and secretary shall
be two. All clubs are requested to send
list of their delegates and officers to the
member of the executive committee from
Ramsey county, not later than the 21st day of
March.
1t is desirable that every precinct in RAM
sey county be represented in this conven-
tion and Republican voters not already or
ganized are requested to confer at once in
reference to perfecting the league organiza-
ton in the precinct in which. they reside.

CLEVELAND RETURNS.
Arrives from His Cunning Trip Nothing New
in Cuban Situation.

Washington. Dec. 20. - President
Cleveland returned to the White House
at s, this morning, and attended church
a little later with Mrs. Cleveland. He
appeared much benefited by his out
ing and brought back numerous ducks.
which he caused to be distributed
among the members of his cabinet and
personal friends.
Secretary Thurber called to see him
and spent some time telling him of the
events that had occurred during his
absence. but no official business was
taken up and it is not believed the
President feels called upon to add any
thing to the Cuban controversy at
present.
During the day Secretary Olney ap-
peared at the executive mansion and
had a brief consultation with the Pres
ident. While no official guarantee for
assertion, it is not to be questioned
that their conversation referred
almost solely to the latest phase in the
Cuban situation.

THE CUBAN RESOLUTION,


New York. Dec. 20. - Ex-S Senator
Thomas e. Plat has given out the fol-
lowing on the Cuban resolutions:
The action taken by the senate com =
mittee on foreign relations seems to have
caused excitement among investors.
simply because the action was uneX
pected and not because it materially
changes our relations with Spain. The
resolution declares in favor of the recoe
n'tion Of the Cuban patriots as re-
public, which Is going little further
than giving them the right Of belliger-
ents, as l understand it. and favors the
friendly intercession o. the United
States to bring about a peaceful settle
ment Of the war between Spain and her
colony.
Without entering into a discussion
as to whether the second position is ten
able, no matter how desirable II NAV
pe, the first having been taken, it seems
to me that there Is so much to learn
and so many steps yet to be taken before
this government is committed that the
assumption in some quarters that we
are facing a critical situation is not
warranted by the facts.
In the first place we do not know
how nearly unanimous the action of the
senate committee was. This matter now
has to go to the senate, and then we will
have all the facts. The action of that
body it is safe to assume. will not be
taken hastily, but rather after very
full and careful discussion. The senate

proved itself to be conservative under
wise leadership.
'The rights of Spain and of Cuba
alike will be carefully weighed, and
while public sentiment is momentarily
in an excited state. | do not think that
we are on the brink of war or any nearer
to it than at any time since the trouble
in Cuba began
The leading financiers and business
men OF New York are as a rule cautious
about expressing an opinion on the
Cuban resolution. Their attitude in the
main was indicated by former Governor

the police of this city to look out for

Gardiner seems in fair way to be-

very spirited and everyone in the

1t was agreed in the committee on for

morrow. and the matter not be called UP
until after the holidays.

ate committee on foreign affairs had de-
cided to report favOrably the Cameron
joint resolution regarding the recognition
of the independence of Cuba and the ten
der by the United States of it's Offices to
end the war.
Mr.. Hit thought there was no immedi-
ate need of his presence in Washington,
for it probably would be some time before
the resolution reached the House. iir.
Hit was asked:
DO you consider by the terms of the
resolution after acknowledging the indie
pendence of the island. that it would be
incumbent on the United States to en-
force this independence if the resolution
should be adopted by Congress-
No. | don't think any such necessity
is implied in the resolution. The recog-
milton of a government by this country
gives it status with the United States
but such recognition is not tantamount
to a declaration of war. This govern
ment recognized the republic of France
Such power is sometimes delegated To
our ministers who are instructed by the
government to acknowledge the indepen-
dence Of other states. 1t is a power which
generally has been vested in the EXecu-
tive. 1t has been contended that Con-
gress is Jointly invested with this power
with the President.
1T is stated that the President will
take no notice OF the resolutions, even ii
they are passed over his veto"
