CUB.I NOT UINTfONED.
The Executive session of the Senate was
Devoted to other Business.


WASHINGTON, d. C.. March 13.-Is
was thought that when the Senate Went
into executive session this afternoon tho
Cuban question would bee taken UP. Alr
Sherman earlier IN the day referred TO
certain secret documents that had been
given 10 the Committee on Foreign Re.
lations, presenting the side Of Spain. ana
said that upon these the committee had
based its judgment and the report IL had
made 70 the Senate. Mr.. Hoar and others
asked that these matters be laid before
the Senate i'm executive session, so they
might Doe made aware OF the contents too.
Mr.. Sherman expressed his Willingness.
and this led 10 the belief that the matter
would come up.
Cuba was not referred 20. however,
when the doors were closed. There ls
good reason for believing that the secret
documents OF which 8fr. Sherman spoke
are nothing but presentation of the
Spanish side OF the question prepared by
Minister Dupuy De Lone and transmitted
by Secretary Olney 10 the committee. T.
is said 10 be very moderate IN tone and
not nearly so strong as the published
statements that appeared IA the press
few days ago. and which became the text
for several speeches I'm the senate.
The time OF the Senate In executive ses-
sion was consumed in the consideration OF
two cases against which there has been
a great deal of opposition. because Of the
violation of the home-rulo principle of
the Democratic party.
These cases were those Of George TT.
Newman. nominated TO be indian agent
at Colville agency. Washington. and Nll-
liam H. Anderson. of Shelhvville, Ky,
10 be register of the land Office at Enid,
Oklahoma Territory. Mr.. Wilson. OF
Washington. led the opposition against
Newman. but he was finally confirmed by
a vote Of 2S 10 70. Mr. Dubois, OF Idaho
chairman Of the Committee on Public
Lands. led the fight against Anderson, but
he was confirmed by a vote Of p TO =.
Mr.. Hill was the only Democrat VINO

That "RndIts. Chain."

From the New York Evening Post.
The most striking passage in Mr.. Nor
gan's report, as treasurer of the United
States, relates TO greenback redemption.
During the Is months ending with Sep
TENDER, he informs us, no less a sum than
$192, 1872, 205 in gold was paid out on pres
entation of gTeenbacks. That is to say,
considerably more than one-half of all the
greenbacks in existence were redeemed in
those - months, But will they stay ere.
deemed?" Oh, no. A wise Congress has
ordered the treasurer to put them all out
again and "redeem" them all over again
as often as they are thrust in his face
For nation that boasts of being "smart,"
and piques itself on its Yankee cuteness,
this position is one of the most astonish-
ing ever known. We practically advertise
to all the world that, if gold is needed
anywhere, all that is necessary is to walk
up to Uncle Sans counter and get it,
We furiously curse all who accept the in
vitation, and call them unpatriotic, yet we
just as furiously curse those who propose
to avert the continuance of the folly by
cancelling the greenbacks as fast as re-
deemed. A great Democracy taking turn
at finance must now and then excite laugh
ter in Olympus.

Rules for UitIanders,

Transvaal affairs just now present a
striking contrast to the savage hurly-burly
of scarcely year ago. Nevertheless they
are by no means undeserving of attention.
The Jameson raid not only enriched the
Pretoria treasury; it gave the little state a
wider advertisement than it had enjoyed
for many years, and revealed to other ma
tions the extent of their interests in it.
Mr.. Kruger's DEGREES are now, therefore,
worthy of translation into other languages
than Transvaal Dutch, and wherever pub
lished are likely to have reading, espec-
tally when, as at present, they refer to the
relations of the Transvaal with other states
or their people.
There has just been promulgated, to take
effect on January l next, stringent code
of regulations for the admission of foreign
ers to the territory and for the supervision
of them while there. Every foreigner en-
tering the Transvaal must henceforth have
passport from his government or such
other credentials as will make his identity
unmistakable, and must possess either a
sufficient fortune TO maintain him or the
physical ability TO earn living. When
he has thus established his idendity and re-
sources to the satisfaction of an officer OF
the Transvaal, he will receive a license to
live, move and have his being in that
country for space of three months.
Then, if he be merely temporary visi-
tor or traveller, he must get the license re-
newed for another three months, and so on,
every three months viii e he remains in
the country. But if he become a perma
nent settler and make formal declaration
of that fact, he may, at the end of the first
three months, have his license renewed fol
a year, and yearly thereafter, until such
time as the government sees tit to admit
him to citizenship. He must in either case
be careful to carry the license with him al
all times, and to show it, whenever re
quired, to any officer, grand or petty, Of
the Transvaal, in default of which he will
be liable to summary expulsion from the
territory of the state.-NetO York Tribune

snaIn,s WarIIk. Act,v,,,es.

There is something interesting in the
news thai the Spanish ministry of war is
preparing for Spanish officers information
abont our coast line, ports, forts, army
and railways, so that they may know where
to attack us best and do the most damage.
With a country operating several thousand
miles from its base, its naval strength be-
comes factor of prime importance. Spain
has ready but one tirst-class modern battle
ship, the Pelayo, and any fleet that she
could equip for service in our waters would
be promptly overwhelmed by our superior
force. Spain's ability to land troops in
Cuba has been due to the fact that she
holds every port on the island and that the
patriots have not a single ship. The diff
ference between that task and landing
troops in the United States is obvious,
while If any should be landed, it would be
bad for the troops.
There is no occasion, therefore, for anx-
iety about Spain's military preparations.
Armies that cannot subjugate Cuba will
not invade the United States. She has no
feet that could protect both itself and her
transports; and although at some ports we
have few high-power guns mounted, there
are hundreds of older guns that would be
of use against the unarmored vessels of
which her navy chiefly consists, while our
submarine mine system is far more ad-
vanced than is generally known. Even
isolated cruiser attacks need hardly be
feared, and it is certain that Spain would
rue them. Thus the current stir in SPANS
dock-yards may properly concern us little.
| She knows very well that declaration of
war against us would mean the immediate
loss of Cuba. Yet her preparations may
