A WELL informed and on the whole
conservative correspondent at Washing
ton says: ut is not likely, however, that
the proposition thus boldly made by the
committee will be accepted by the SEN
ate or House without some opposition.
Indeed. large share of the Senators
from the Eastern States, especially those
from New England and the great bust
ness centers are already opposing it. 1t
is observed, also, that many leading Re-
publicans, now that the matter is really
precipitated upon them, are suggesting
that it may prove exceedingly embarrass-
ing to the incoming administration to
find the country in the midst of COM
plication of the magnitude which may
result. This feeling is based upon the
supposition that war with Spain may
follow as a result of this action. What
ever might be the views of the incoming
administration on the Cuban question.
it goes without saying, say these who OPP
pose precipitate action. that it would
prefer to inaugurate its own policy upon
so important a question, and that it
would prove extremely embarrassing to
President Mckinley and his associates
in the administration of the government
to be compelled to take up complica-
ton and perhaps war begun by another
administration and another Congress
than that which he will call together"

The failure of the National Bank OF
Illinois is a serious one. Not only is
the failure remarkable for it's extent
and for the wide interests involved,
but it is alike remarkable for the
extremely injudicious administration
of the off1cevs, for manipulation of
the books which amounts to little If any
thing less than the Justification of ac-
counts, and for the manner in which
outside interests conspired under var
ious motives to bring about the downfall
Of the bank.

VERY few of the members Of the
Senate. and particularly the members
of the Committee, are willing to admit
the possibility of declaration of war
following the passage of their resolu
tions, but Mr.. Cameron and Mr.. Morgan
are very candid in expressing their in
tention of provoking Spain to hostile
measures. Senator Morgan boldly as
serts that he is in favor of sending
fleet and an army to Cuba to drive the
Spaniards off the island and maintain
an occupation until the people may or
ganize a republic of their own. But
very few of the other senators are will
ing to go so far. They admit that the
action of the Committee on foreign re-
lations might possibly stir Spain to take
hostile measures. but they are not will
ing to admit such probability The
interview of the Secretary of State and
the conservative comments in the news
papers are already having their effect in
modifying the views of some Of the jim
goes, and there is doubt whether the
Senate will pass the resolutions.

GROWING out of this suspension &C.
Cured the failure of three private bank
ing firms, E. S. Dreyer & Co.. Wasmans-
dorf & Heinemann, and the "Roseland
Bank" small suburban institution.
E. S. Dreyer & Co. is an old bank with
a large German clientage. Its liabili-
ties are scheduled at 81 100000. Its as
sets, it is said, will make an extremely
poor showing.
In the bill under which the Security
Title and Trust company was appointed
receiver of Wasmansdorf & Heinemann
the liabilities were scheduled at S415. 900
and the assets at S550,000.
The liabilities of the Roseland Bank
owned by Frederick Wiersema, are prob
ably less than 100000.

CHICAGO is again the scene OF serious
banking failures. The National Bank
of Illinois, one of the Oldest banks in
Chicago, with deposits amounting to
over 100000 representing over 1900
depositore, including several hundred
country banks, closed its doors on Mon
day morning, the Clearing House Com
mittee having suspended the bank from
the privilege of the Clearing House.

graphed to his government that he
had a conference with Mr.. Olney, the
Secretary of State, in the course Of which
the latter assured him that Spain might
rest tranquil until March, at least. since,
despite the attitude of congress, Presi-
dent Cleveland would not recognize the
independence of Cuba. The position OF
the Secretary of State is that President
Cleveland is not necessarily bound to
obey the vote of the Senate in case the
Cameron resolutions are adopted; that
the proposed Senate resolutions are an
attempt to coerce a friendly foreign
power into declaration of war and
dangerous departure from the wise,.
just and safe policy based upon recog-
nized principles of international law
and international justice which has
heretofore been pursued by the United
States in dealing with the Cuban
question. He holds that govern
ment should have the essential ele-
ments of existence before it can properly
be recognized; that the people compos-
ing it must show that they are prepared
to enter into the family OF nations as a
sovereign power, capable of national ad-
ministration and of international inter
course.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-12-26

THERE is no doubt that Mr.. Olney's
innovation upon the forms that have
usually governed the relations between
the executive and legislative depart
ments was made with the full knowl-
edge and approval of the President and
the other members of the cabinet. 1t
would not have been possible for him to
have taken such a step and indicated
the position and the future action of
the President 30 positively except under
instructions. 1t is said that he and the
President held conversation over a
long distance telephone on Friday even
ing. and that cabinet meeting was
Immediately called to consider his sug-
gestions.

At the Baldw1n Ne.t week.

Effic Ellsler, who is to appear at the
Baldwin next week comes well recon-
mended. She played an engagement at
at the Marquam in Portland and her ap-
pearance was well received by the
theatre goers of the metropolis. The
following notice is taken from the Ore
gonian:
Itis said that Efie EIlsler has never
been seen to such advantage as in her
latest character, Shakespeare Roselind.
The assertion is a somewhat broad one
to make, when is recalled, her earlier
success, "Bazel Kirke," but there ap-
pears to be good reason for saying so, if
the reports of her performance are to be
relied upon. Miss Ellsler is said to be
without peer in her line of the drama,
and her place Is among the most distin-
guished American actresses. She is a
we'll established favorite with playgoers,
and always receives cordial welcome to
this city. ''As You Like It'' is one of
Shakespeare's masterpieces of comedy,
and grand production is promised.
That clever character actor, Frank Wes-
ton, will be the Touchstone, and Mr..
Jonn A. Ellsler will play Adam. The
cast is large one, and introduces sever
al vocalists. Miss Ellsler's engagements
have always been highly satisfactory.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS
Ra,hbone sisters Banquet.

Last evening occurred the banquet
given by the lodge of Rathbone Sisters.
The Knights of Pythias hall was crowded
with ladies and gentlemen who had
gathered to complete the organization of
tt is popular lodge. The newly installed
officers took charge of the meeting and
carried on the initiation of twenty-five
Knights OF Pythias, who applied for ad
mission to the Rathbone Sisters. It is
needless to say that all the ceremonies
were carried on with that solemnity and
precision so necessary upon such occa-
sions. After this part of the evenings
work was concluded, the members re-
paired to the banquet hall where feast,
that would have caused delight to the
Epicures of old, had been prepared.
While the courses were being served the
springs of eloquence flowed and bright
thoughts couched ID pleasing language,
| added to the pleasure and dignity of the
evening. Among those who made ap-
propriate addresses were Hons. w. H.
Wilson, E. B. Dufur, w. L. Bradshaw,
Capt. V. G. Brock and several other
gentlemen, all of whom proving them
selves graceful after-dinner speakers.
Not till the room of midnight had come
and gone did the banquet come to a
close. The occasion was one which will
| long continue as one of the brightest
events in the history of Pyth1anism, and
the Rathbone Sisters in The Dalles.
During the evening Mrs. Houston, the
organizer, made fitting response to an
address presented to her and which con-
veyed the thanks and appreciation OF
the lodge for her efforts in instituting
the order of Rathbone Sisters in The
Dalles.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.
They Are in Favor of Cuba's indie
pendence and Against Trusts.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Representative
Willis of Delaware has int oduced in
the house copies of the proceedings of
the State Grange Patrons of Hus-
bandry upon two public questions,
which were appropriately referred. One
resolution adopted by the Grange
reads:
Whereas, the patriotic people of
Cuba having, for more than two years.
withstood the utmost efforts of the
Spanish government to crush them and
TO quell what Spain terms an insurrec-
ton. but which is, in fact a successful
revolution and having in practical
operation a government of their own
in at least two-thirds OF Cuba. we be-
Iieve that the interests of humanity,
not to mention material interests in
volved, loudly call for the granting of
belligerent rights to the Cubens by the
government of the United States, if not
the recognition of their independence;
also the following:
Resolved, that we denounce trusts
and monopolies. They rob the many
and enrich the few. They violate the
laws, common and statute. They breed
anarchy. the ruin of homes, of indus
tries and of the nation.
Resolved, that we thank President
Cleveland for his just remarks on this
subject in his recent message.
Resolved, that we confidently expect
the most earnest efforts of our senators
and Representatives in congress to eff
feet the said recommendations"

Park City, Dec 17.-Pat Coughlin's
funeral services were conducted at St
Mary's Catholic church today, the Rev
Father Galligan officiating.
The church was filed with curious
crowd, who were very anxious. ap-
parently, TO hear what Rev. Galligan
would have to say concerning the last
hours of the deceased, and also to OBJ
tain a brief glance at the corpse.
In the course of his remarks Rev.
Galligan alluded to the extreme sad
ness of the occasion, and of the circum-
stances surrounding the death OF
Coughlin. He said that Coughlin had
expressed his willingness to receive the
last sacraments of the church, and had
thoroughly repented of the misdeeds
done by him in life. He believed ii
was matter of doubt whether Cough
lin committed wilful murder.
This caused a slight sensation.
He then went on to say that if any
of the jurors were not conscientious in
their verdict, they were guilty of a
great sin.
In closing, the reverend gentleman
admonished everyone to be obedient to
the laws of the state.

CHINESE REVOLT.
A Very Serious One Is Looked For in
South China Soon.


San Francisco, Dec. IA special to
the Examiner from Vancouver, B. c.,
says: Latest advices from Canton via
the Empress Of India state that the
viceroy is bitterly hated by the masses;
that he messes and muddles up official
business; is firm where he should be
easy, and exhibits ferocity when he
should exercise discretion and tact.
Large quantities of arms and am
munition are said to be pouring into
the kwangtung and Kwangtsi prov
inces through every available channel,
and the viceroy is reported to be very
uneasy because he has reason to be-
lieve that secret societies are very ac-
tive throughout south China.
1t appears, in fact, that there is
every prospect of the masses rising in
the southern provinces in the near fu-
ture, and in such z determined manner
that the insurrection will not be easily
suppressed. 1t is a step like this that
will lead to the overthrow of the pres
ent Chinese dynasty, and all that is
needed is for Ii Hung Chang TO de-
clare in their favor TO lead to his be-
ing emperor of China.
A Toxic dispatch says that DR.. Goto
Shimpei. chief of the sanitary bureau
of the home department, is reported to
entertain a scheme for the gradual
suppression of the opium habit in For

habit are at least 100000 natives.
