LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Daily Chronicle
in tomorrows' issue win claim TO have
obtained the outlines of the much de-

and Russia which terminated in the Mill
tary convention of 1890. The treaty was
signed in December, 1893, Casimir- Perier

a mIiitary convention with special re.a-
ton TO the balance of power created by
the Austro-Cermau alliance and lapses

est of self-preservation should the United
States ever make the acquisition of
Cuba"
In the fullness of time Cuba must be-
long to the United States. but If we are
ever to acquire it without war it must
be by wise and careful diplomacy. Spain
will never part with the island except as
last resort and under extreme compuI-
sion. 1t is the single gem left to her of
her once splendid American Jewels. and
she will hold it to the last. All Spanish
political parties are doubtless agreed on
this subject. Republican Spain in 1873
sent men and treasure to Cuba to put
down rebellion just as lavishly and un-
hesitatingly as monarchical Spain had
done before and did after the republic
fell. and is doing now.
Spain is old. poor. proud and sensi-
tive. A request from the President to
recognize the independence of Cuba
would be regarded by the Spanish gov
eminent as an intolerable insult to be,
If not resented, contemptuously ignored.
If this government is prepared to recog
nize the independence of Cuba or to
recognize the insurgents as belligerents
let it do so. but to ask Spain TO do so
would be great blunder. The Senate
resolutions either go too far or not far
enough. and if adopted will do more
harm than good.

BREACH-OF-PROMISE CASE.
Mrs. M. A. Conan Sues Col. e. HI. Dyer
for $JO,OOO.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.-Mrs. NJ. A. Conan,
formerly in business for herself in New
York city, but recently living in the fashion
able East End Of this city, has entered a
suit for breach of promise against Col. E.
H. Dyer, president of the Kanawha Oil
Company, asking $4,000 damages. Colonel
Dyer is about sixty years of age, a bach
elor and one of the prominent oil producers
of Pittsburg. He is a native of Portland,
Me-, and a member of a prominent family
of that city. Mrs. Cowan is middle-aged
and is said to have considerable money of
her own. She alleges that Colonel Dyer
induced her to come to Pittsburg. rent a
house and furnish it. preparatory to their
marriage, the Colonel promising to reim-
burse her after the wedding. Two months
ago the Colonel became sick in her house,
and the news reaching his relatives In Port
land, they came on and had him forcibly
removed to hospital, where the plaintiff
was not permitted to see him. The sum-
mons was served on the defendant at the
hospital last night, where he was found in
company with his nephew and niece The
suit has caused something of a sensation in
business and social circles.

CONGRESS NOT A DIPLOMATIC BODY.

The disposition recently shown by Con-
gress to take active control of the foreign
relations Of the government and to form
ulate a foreign policy is rather a de-
parture from established methods. On
general principles a legislative body is
not we'll adapted to the management of
foreign affairs. Diplomacy is a separate
branch of craftsmanship. and, while it is
not recognized in this country as dis
tinct political cult, as it is in European
countries, it nevertheless involves pc
culiar qualifications and methods. Above
all, it requires delicacy of handling, tact,
caution, courtesy. patience. reticence and
other kindred qualities not usually found
in parliamentary bodies. The average
American has rather contempt for pro-
fessional diplomacy, but 1t must be re-
membered that, to get along comfort
ably and deal successfully with other
nations, We must, to some extent at
least, adapt ourselves to their ideas and
methods of doing business, and where
these are established almost to the ex-
tent Of making them part of interna-
tional law it is not wise to ignore them.
1t does not appear that the Constitu-
ton intended to give Congress power to
formulate foreign policies OF course, in
a general way Congress has a right to
legislate within the Constitution on any
subject, but all the powers expressly
conferred upon it by the Constitution
relate to domestic affairs. While the
Constitution does not expressly say
where the active control of foreign rela-
tons shall be lodged, it seems to have
intended that it should be with the exec
utive branch of the government. The
first Congress under the Constitution, in
July. 1889. passed an act creating the De-
partment of State and the office Of Sec
rotary of State. This laws says:
The Secretary of State shall perform such
duties as shall from time to time be en-
Joined on or intrusted to him by the Presi-
dent relative TO correspondence, commits
sions, or instructions to or with public min
listers or consuls from the United States. or
to negotiate with public ministers from for
eign states or princes, or TO memorials or
other applications from foreign public min
listers other foreigners. to such other
matters respecting foreign affairs as the
President of the United States shall assign
business of the department in such manner
as the President shall direct.
The evident intent of this was to place
the active control of foreign affairs in
the hands of the President and Secretary
of State. This harmonizes with the Con-
stitution and is in accordance with the
theory and practice of other govern
ments Speaking generally, Congress
would better leave the control Of foreign
affairs to the executive department un-
less it is appealed to for action or special
circumstances call for it's interference
Congress is anything but diplomatic

THE BAYARD RESOLUTIONS.
Committee on Foreign Affairs Di-
vfded on the Question of Censure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-No decision In
the matter of censuring ambassador Bay
ard was attained to-day by the House
committee on foreign affairs, but the dis
cussion on the question, which absorbed
the entire hour, one of the most inter-
esting which that committee has INDUCED
in for long time. The members were
practically opposed along party lines, the
Republicans urging a resolution of GEN.
sure and the Democrats standing by the
ambassador. The subcommittee, consisting
of Messrs. Draper Of Massachusetts, Pear
son Of North Carolina, and Dinsmore of
Arkansas, which had been charged with
the settlement of the matter, reported that
it had been unable to agree on the form of
a resolution 1t laid before the full COM
mittee five drafts of resolutions which had
been submitted by members of the commit
tee. There was wide range of difference
between these resolutions. The most rad
ical Of them denounced in strong terms the
Edinburgh and Boston speeches, and called
on the President TO recall the ambassador.
The most mild, on the other hand. did not
mention the utterances of Mr.. Bayard, but
simply expressed general disapproval of
the practice Of making speeches on home
politics by any foreign representatives of
the United States in the countries to which
they are accredited. The three other reso-
lutions covered the range between these
two extremes. Mr.. McCreary, of Ken
lucky, made a motion to increase the SUBJ
committee from three to five members. No
action had been taken on this motion or on
the main question when the hour of noon
arrived, and Mr.. McCreary brought about
an adjournment, as the foreign affairs
committee has not leave to meet while the
House is in session.
Inc discussion is said by members of the
committee to have been much warmer than
usual lily characterizes its sessions Mr.. Pear
son suggested to the committee a resolu-
ton which censured ambassador Bayard
very strongly. Mr.. Newlands. of Nevada
proposed to amend this by asking the Pres
ident TAD recall the ambassador. Mr.. Me-
Creary ind Mr.. Money both Democrats
took the principal parts in the discussion
Their chief argument was that the matter
was one Tor action by the President, II
any steps were TO be taken to censure Mr.
Bayard, and that the House would be en-
croaching on the prerogatives of the Presi-
dent if 1t adopted any of the resolutions
naming the ambassador. Mr.. Pearson re-
marked that the President had not hest
tated to encroach on the prerogatives OF
Congress. and even to refer in terms OF
censure to some or It's legislation

TRADE WITH GERMANY.

An exchange, in noting the great
difference in the value of our exports OF
merchandise to Great Britain and Ger
tons which the German government has
made against the products of the United
States. This may account for a part Of
it, but the difference in the conditions
of the two countries has much more to
do with the difference in the values Of
exports. Great Britain purchases large
part of it's bread and meat of other ma
tions. and, using great deal more cot
ton than does Germany, its volume of
purchases in this country is much larger.
Again, Great Britain is the middleman
of nations-that is, it buys largely Of the
products of other nations to sell rather
than consume. Germany can produce a
large part of it's food, and sells little else
than it's own products to other nations.
Great Britain is a general clearing house;
Germany is not Still, it is true that
Germany discriminates against our agri-
cultural products, and not without cause.
The Harrison administration, after long
and patient negotiation, induced the
German government to make a trade
treaty with the United States by which
American cereals and meat products
were admitted at lower duties than those
of most countries. Germany did this to
obtain our markets for it's sugar on as
favorable terms as other countries COM
peting with her in that industry. The
result of this trade treaty was that our
exports to Germany increased from $751;
563 900 in 1890, before the commercial
treaty, TO sos. 521 900 in 1892. That high
figure might not have been kept up il
the treaty had been retained. but the
probability is that it would. The Demo-
cratic Congress, however which passed
the present tariff act, abolished all those
reciprocal treaties without so much as
giving notice to the other parties. The
result was that Germany Immediately re-
stored the old duties which Disseminated
against us because. by repeating the
reciprocity features of the Mckinley
law, we invited that government to do
so. In 1894 our exports to Germany were
valued at s92,357.16S and in 1895 at s92.-
O5s.95S. We may be able, when there
shall be Congress and a President in
accord with the reciprocity features of
the Republican tariff, TO obtain the low
est duties agricultural products
with Germany. II she refuses. the al
tentative of the Republican policy is re-
taliation.
