SECRETARY OLNEY ON CUBA
Declares That Power to Recognize
Republic of Cuba is Vested
Solely In Executive.
CONGRESS May EXPRESS OPINIONS
Fears Expressed That Passage of Gu
ban Resolution May Infame Popu-
lar Passions in Both Spain
and America.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Secretary Olney
being asked his opinion as to the nature
and effect of the proposed resolution
recognizing the independence of the Re-
public of Cuba said: ~ have no objec-
tion to stating my own view as to the
resolution respecting the independence
of the so-called Republic of Cuba, which
it is reported is to be laid before the
senate Monday. Indeed, as there are
likely to be serious misapprehensions re-
garding such resolution in both this
country and abroad and as such appre-
tensions may have injurious results of
grave character, it is perhaps my duty to
point out that the resolution, if passed
by the senate, can be regarded only as an
expression of opinion by the eminent
and, If passed by the house Of represen-
tatives, it can only be regarded as an
other expression of opinion by the emf
next gentlemen who vote for 1t in the
house. The power to recognize the So
called Republic of Cuba as an irdepend
ent state rests exclusively with the ex-
ecutive.
A resolution on the subject by the SEN
ate or the house, or by both bodies,
whether concurrent or joint, remains in
operative and important only as advice
of great weight. voluntarily rendered to
the executive regarding the manner in
which he shall exercise his constitutional
functions. The operation and effect of
the proposed resolution, therefore, even
if passed by both houses by a two-thirds
vote, is perfectly plain. 1t may raise
expectations in some quarters which can
never be realized. 1t may inflame popu-
lar passions both in this country an6
elsewhere, may thus put in peril the livss
and property of American citizens who
are residents and travelling abroad, and
will certainly obstruct and perhaps de-
feat the best efforts of this government
to afford such citizens due protection.
But, except in these ways and unless the
advice embodied in the resolution shall
lead the executive to revise the conclu-
sions already reached and officially de-
clared, the resolution will be without ef-
feet and will leave unaltered the attitude
ofthis government toward the two con-
tending parties in Cuba"
VERY LAME EXCUSE FOR OLNEY.
The impression prevails here that Sec
retary Olney's statement, pointing out
the lack of legality of the passage of the
Cameron joint resolution, was called
forth by desire to minimize the danger
of an outbreak in Spain on the part of
the excitable populsce, which is perhaps
more imminent than is generally realized
in this country.
SESSION OF THE HOUSE TO-DAY.
The house, by vote of 1877 to Is, to-

MANY MILLIONS GONE
ALLEGED DEFICIENCY IN THE FUNDS
OF BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

No one Seems TO Know what Has BE
come Of $50, 1000, ,OOO-It Is Not Believed
That Ex-President Mayer Prohted by
Any Of the transactions,
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The reorgani
zation committee of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company has struck a snag
The sum Of $50, 600, 600 is said to be
missing, and nobody is yet able to tell
where 1t has gone. The committee cannot
proceed any further in the direction OF
getting that great railway system out OF
the hands Of the receivers and the courts
until the mystery of the disappearance Ul
this enormous amount of money is clear
ed up. This statement is based upon the
authority of one of the most prominent
business men Of Baltimore. He had the
information, he states, from one of the
members of the reorganization committee
who went to him for advice in the prem.
ises. The committee. he alleges discov-
cred that from 1888 to the date Of the cleo
tion of Cowan as president of the compa-
ny fully $50, 000 600 of the Baltimore and
Ohio securities were disposed of without
reports of the transaction or transactions
being made to the treasurer of the oompa-
ny. OF this amount the floating debt was
increased, by a cause as yet unexplained,
from about g. 500, 900 in 1888 to about
$16, 900 100, a total of about s12, 500, 900
at the date of the last annual report, In
1895, while, as regards the remaining si6,
800, 900. it is shown By the authorized
statement below that up to this time
there has been nothing whatever learned
as to what became of good portion
thereof
No Value Given In Return.
1t is alleged that from the total sum a
great amount probably $4,000, 600, has
been taken from the company without
giving any value whatever therefor.
1t is also alleged that so far there have
been discovered no records Of these most
important transactions during the seven
years covered by the administration of
Mr. Mayer, and it is further alleged that
either no books concerning them we're
kept or that they have been placed where
the committee has not been able to see
them.
Upon learning of this state of affairs the
members of the committee decided that
the whole truth must be brought out, and
they have determined to sift the matter
to the bottom, let the blame fall where 1t
may. 1t is stated that no one who is cog
nizant Of the committees views in the
matter believes that ex- President Mayer
prohted to the extent of dollar by what
took place as the result of the deals made
or that he knew of what really was 60
ing on.
1t is not claimed that the s12, 500, 600 of
increase of floating debt represents the
loss of that amount by the Baltimore and
Ohio, but it is stated to be the opinion of
the members Of the reorganization COM

It is not best to turn animals on a
newly seeded permanent pasture the
first year; far better NOW once or twice
during the summer, cure for hay, seed
green, or, better, leave the material on
the ground If not abundant. Many Of
the plants sown will require a year, es-
pecially blue grass, to get we'll estab-

such as sheep or calves, might be turn

EASTER FLOWER SALES.


In New York city Alone Fully Half .
Nj Dollars Was Spent on Them.
Half million dollars was spent in
New York city this year for Easter
flowers.
This amount Of money would have
given half the children of the tenement
houses a three months summer vaca.
ton in the country or at the seashore
There are 253 regular florists in the
city One of the largest of the Broad.
way dealers alone sold $50, 600 worth
of flowers for Easter. Nine others Of
prominence brought the total sales up
10 St7O, OO0 Then 100 other fisrists
sold between them $3.50, 600 worth Of
flowers more. The aggregate sales Of
the remaining 1853 smaller concerns
amounted to $40, 900.
The sales of the numerous flower
stands scattered through the city, as
well as the street venders, amounted to
at least $3.50, 900.
That violets were in favor as an
Easter offering is proved by the fact
that one firm alone sold 100, 900 violets.
An azalea sold for 5000, and any num-
Der of acacias brought S75 apiece.
If even a quarter of the $500, 900
spent in flowers had been given as an
Easter offering for charity, it would
have accomplished an untold amount Of
good The $500 azalea would have kept
an entire tenement house family from
being hungry for whole year. One $50
basket of Easter lilies would have given
one of the tired, hard worked shopgirls
sea air and good food for a month of this
coming summer. Even the s5 spent fol
bunch of violets would have given 30
hungry residents of the slums a table
d'hote dinner long to be remembered. -
