| Washington March 1l.-When Mr.. Hoar's resolu-
ton to refer the Cuban resolutions before the
Senate IN the shape OF conference report went TO
the calendar this afternoon, the parliamentary
status Of those resolutions remained unchanged.
Mr. Hoars motion was simply the channel through
which he got the floor 10 make a speech. and that
| speech could have been made well in discus
sion OF the conference report proper
