The Baltimore American,
Republican organ asks where
the supporters of Bryan are
"going to get the money and
organization to run their

idea OF a campaign-''money

money to run the campaign.

a position that will deny them

whether it did a great ser.

have thought she knew what

her representations of t h e

better than her representa-
tion OF the negro dialect,
which a negro himself would
never recognize. The book
goes on its mission througl.
out the world, even IN China
and Japan misrepresenting
our people. Thousands have
seen and wilfsee and will see
it without seeing the. negro

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The notice of the
opening of a Cuban discussion was about
the only feature of interest developed at
the brief session of the senate, which last
ed only 25 minutes. Senator Cullom gave
notice Of a speech on Cuba tomorrow.
The senators had expected to start the
wheels Of actual business but the appear
ance of house resolution relative to the
death of ex-Speaker Crisp led to the GUS
tomary adjournment as a mark of respect.
A large number of bureau reports were
received, including that of the government
directors of the Pacific railway.
Senator Mills has prepared the following
resolution for introduction In the senate:
Joint resolution directing the presi-
dent Of the United States to take military
possession of the island of Cuba and hold
1t until its Inhabitants can institute such
government as they may wish and organ
lie and arm such forces as may be neces-
sary to protect them against invasion.
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives Of the United States of
America, in congress assembled, that the
president of the United States is hereby
directed to take possession of the island Of
Cuba with the military and naval forces
of the United States and hold the same
until the people of Cuba can organize
government deriving its powers from the
consent Of the, governed and arm and
equip such military and naval forces as
may be necessary to secure them against
foreign invasion"
The house, without wasting time pro-
ceeded to business and before the session
closed had passed three bills of considera-
ble Importance and the first of the regular
supply bills-that for pensions.
Three of the bills related to postal mat
ters. One provided for the use of private
mailing cards of the same general Size and
character as the present postal cards when
l cent stamps are affixed. Another pro-
vided for limited indemnity of $40 for
the loss Of registered mail matter and the
third provided for private carrier service
in cities, towns and villages where no free
delivery exists 1t provides that on appli-
cation of 20 persons receiving their mail
through the same office, the postmaster
shall appoint such persons as are willing
to undertake the collection and delivery OF
mails at a charge not TO exceed cent for
each letter and that the charge shall be
paid by the benefciaries The pension bill
was passed without factious opposition,
