The end of the controversy between the two
houses of Congress on the Cuban question seems
to be in sight. Yesterday the conferrees made
a complete right-aboutface, and adopted the
Senate resolutions. which had previously been
cast aside as Of little worth. The effect of this
action will be TO prevent any further discussion
of the question In the Senate, where consld-
cradle opposition to the recognition of the III
surgents as bc,ligerents has been aroused. 1t Is
almost exactly a month since the original reso-
lutlons were adopted by the Senate. They can
be disposed Of by the House as quickly as may
be thought desirable; but 1t must be remembered
that concurrent resolutions Of this kind are
merely an expression of opinion, and that the
President IS not bound to take any action re-
gardiDg them.
