opinion. of that which has to do with the In

combined with the respect and admiration
felt for him by the entire world, make his
words an unquestionable authority, on any
thing to do with this subject.

by their use, that are of nature own brew

which have been referred to it. No
action was taken, and the committee
adjourned to meet on Friday. The
committee took no vote on any PROPOSE

expression of opinion to lead the
friends of a declaration favorable to
Cuban independence to conclude that
if vote had been taken they would
have Won While all the resolutions
before the committee were read and
commented upon, the general tendency
was towards the simple declaration for
independence contained in the Cam
eron joint resolution, which was intro
duced Immediately after the close of
last weeks meeting, and it is believed
that an affirmative vote would have
been reached on proposition embody-

VIII Confer With Olney.

Senators Sherman, Cameron and
Turpie were appointed a subcommittee
to go to the state department and con-
fer with Secretary Olney for the pur-
pose of seeing if he had any further in
formation which might be placed at the
disposal of the committee, and also to
ascertain more particularly what his
views upon the effect of any definite
declaration by congress might be. The
question was raised in the committee
that action by congress might produce
results of great seriousness and this
had the effect of postponing action,
Another point raised was that it would
be in violation of all precedent for con-
gress to recognize republics or other
forms of new government, but several
members declared that the time for
ignoring precedents had arrived, con-
sequently, it is predicted that on Fri
day the Cameron resolution will be re-
ported fayorably.
