Rumored That the President
Is Preparing Another
Message
And Thag in 1t He Will Give
Congress His Views of
Cuban Affairs.
He and Secretary Olney in Con-
ference Cabinet Meeting
Postponed.

WASHINGTON, April 8-Secretary
Olney called early at the White House
and remained in close consultation
with the president, undeterred by the
notice that had been sent to the other
members, to the effect that there would
be no cabinet meeting. There is reason
to believe that the meeting would have
been postponed regardless of the ap-
pearance of the measles among the
children at the White House, in order
to afford the president an opportunity
for private deliberation with the chief
member of his cabinet for there was a
story current, and it is believed well
founded, to the effect that the two were
engaged in the preparation OF
Special Message to Congress.
Of course this was Immediately as
sumed to relate to the Cuban situation,
and to be an exposition by the president
of the actual state of affairs on the
island, as revealed in the reports of the
United States consular officer and other
trusted sources of information. There
is a resolution before the president.
passed at the instance of Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts,, calling for this in
formation.
It is reasoned that the president in
transmitting the information asked for
may feel it his duty in view of the
overwhelming majority by which the
Cuban concurrent resolutions passed
both branches of congress, to
Come Out With Plain Statement
of the reasons that influence him in
preserving unmoved the position he has
assumed towards the insurrection in
Cuba, showing from the best obtainable
information that has reached him, that
regardless of the sympathy he may feel
personally for the insurgents, he is
absolutely bound by the facts as he sees
them, by precedent, and by the dictates
of international law, to persist in his
attitude. This view of the matter, of
course applies only so long as the presi-
dent is left free to decide upon the
course to be followed by the govern
ment, since it may be that he would
Take An Entirely Different View
of the matter if congress should send to
him joint resolution embodying the
features of the concurrent resolutions,
and assumed that by so doing the legis-
islative branch had taken the direction
of the matter out of his hands While
it is thought likely the president may
send in a message to congress in trans
mitting the Cuban information request
ed, it is not certain that this message
will be more than formal letter of
transmittal. There are good reasons
why the consular reports should be
handled very guardedly, since our con-
suls have to continue resident in Cuba,
and the work on which the president is
believed to be engaged may be in the
nature of statement of facts or sum-
mary of the main features of the conf
Dental consular reports.

SAVING THE SCRAPS.
AN Economy that Has become Common
Among Restaurant Habitues.

You would be surprised, said a con-
hdentiai restaurant keeper, AT tho
growing number of my customers who
carry of with them portions of their
unfinished meals. Three or four years
ago the only person that used do to this
was an old French lady, who always
used two of three Jumps of sugar that
we used to serve with a cup Of coffee
and pocket the third. The next person |
noticed doing anything of the sort was
a young man who ate two out of his
three rolls, and, after looking a little
shame facedly round the restaurant,
reached up and dropped the third roll
INTO his o%ycrcoat pocket. The follow
ing morning he did the same thing, aud
now he always does it, and does il, too,
rs a matter of course.
both OF these little tricks, you will
observe, were at breakfast, and |
thought the explanation of them was
easy. l knew it was the custom in
rance to pocket the unused sugar and
imagined the young man was n clerk
In an office and used TO eat the third roll
during the morning or for lunch. But
during the past year or so ! have given
up seeking for explanations of n habit
that has become common, any cxplana-
ton, | mean, except that of hard times,
for now it is done right and left and at
every meal. Why, sir, you'd be amused
or saddencd, don't know which, to see
the matter-of-fact way in which parts Of
a meal are saved. Some customers
bring little handbags and sweep every
unused thing into them. Others use
oiled paper, aud wrap up the fag end
OF "a steak or part of a bird, and others.
again, make neat little parcels of their
leftover bread and butter. IL was only
yesterday that | saw one young woman
at lunch bring n small bottle out of her
pocket and pour into it the milk ghs
had not used in her tea.
"Of course ! can't object to the prac-
tice, and don't know that ] would if |
could. The customer pays for what he
is served with, and il doesn'tmuch mat
ter to me whether il is eaten here Mt my
tables or taken home by my customers
TO be eaten at theirs. Indirectly, OF
course, it affects me, because il means
that there is n great and prevailing
spirit of economy abroad, and if the
saved scraps from breakfast here can
be made TO do duty for or help out a
lunch, why, naturally, | or some other
restaurant man loses the profit on that
lunch. Any way it's a phase of the in
luencc of bard times that | haven't
seen noticed or commented upon."-N
