~ IL 'he most startling proposition com
ing from IN executive oiliccr' -
Worse than Andrew Johnson sua,.
gested Senator Wilson, who was sit
ting by
Yes, worse than Andrew johnson, :,
aSsented Senator Chandler, "anl !, Cab
met officer issuing such statement should
he subjected to the sevcrcst censllre
The idea of announcing il advance that
the President Will not carry ont the ex-
pressed Will OF two. thirds of Congress is
most rcprchensihc
Senator Daniel, member of committee
Oh foreign relations:
The proposition of Secretary Oney is
prcpostcrouS.n
The Senator was not at the meeting
yesterday and when asked concerning his
position said:
am not ready To say favor the res
olntion am in favor of recognizing
Deili&erency, but as to the indcnendence
desire to study the question:"
Mt Cuilom, Of Illinois, IL member of
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tionS:
II voted 70; the Cameron resolution in
committee because it seemed the best
thing we could do was to adopt that
measure did not fully approve it, but
Will DE ready 10 support it in the Sen
ate unless some one proposes a better
measure"
Senator Perkins, of California:
ain not one of those who approves
the Cameron resolution. | generally an
prove OF the course of the Cuban question
that has been taken by Senator Hale
The Secretary said Senator Morgan,
former chairman and now the ranking
'enocrittic member OF the committee on
foreign relations, takes very high
ground and he cannot maintain his po~
sitionn
II cannot conceive said Senator
blanchard, that Secretary Oiney could
have given uttcrance to the statement Mt.
Ncributed TO him. What, Congress without
the power to order :hc recognition of Gu
ban independence. If this authority docs
not exist i'll Congress it exists nowhere. >
Senator Frye of the committee on for
eign relations:
II have no doubt that IL majority OF
the committee believe that if the resolu-
ton Is pissed by two-thirds vote over the
veto OF the President, it would then be-
come Il law that the executive would be
compelled to execute it as he is any other
United States statute book -
Mr.. Dinglcy, of Maine who stands
next to the Speaker in the leadership of
the House, when asked for his views
upon the Cameron resolution said:
II have always believed that il WAS
the best policy for Congress TO leave
diplomatic matters to the proper depart
ment OF Government. When the legisla-
tive branch of the Government attcmpts
to Interfere with the diplomatic there
are likely to be serious errors committed. =
Representative Pearson, of North Car
oina, Of the foreign affairs committee of
the House:
Mr.. Olncy's interview surprises me
more than did the action of the Senate
committee on foreign relations. 1t tone
of assumed infallbility, not to say of
arrogance, is likely to intensity the feel
ings and add to the force and number of
the extremists in both Houses,

The Gift OF Continuance.

Some years ago, at Newport, Cal. :,
while waiting to take the steamer for
the North, [ walked down to the end
of the wharf, and as I went past boy
sitting on the edge of the wharf fish
ing, said to him, "Well, my boy,
you do not seem to have caught any
fish,"
"No," said he, ''but I think I shall.
I am expecting shoal of fish in any
time now. I have been fishing here
three days, but have no luck; but 1
am quite certain the fish will be in
soon. They came in about this time
last year. -
''Why not wait till they come, and
then do your fishing ?" said I.
"Oh, sir!" said the pluckly little
fellow, 'I would rather be here when
they come.
I left him and walked on down to
the end of the wharf, and in about an
hour returned, and as I came near
where the boy was fishing, / saw that
he was landing the speckled beauties
on the wharf in tue Izaak Walton
style. The fish had come in !
The persevering little lad had taught
me a useful lesson. Whether angling
for fish or for men the gift Of contin-
uance is essential to success. The
easily discouraged angler will fail.
