q ENATOR BLANCHARD OF Louisiana,
o. who is d guest ut the Ebbitt. is OF
the opinion that some measure favor
able to the Cuban cause will be passed by
this Congress before it adjourns.
His reason for the belief is found in the
fact that almost all Congressman to whom
ne has spoken are favorable to some action
of this kind. but even if they We're not he
thinks that the pressure upon them from
their constituents would force them to
take the step.
In the South and Southwest, he says,
the people are in favor of Cuban interfer-
ence almost to a man, and this last story
of Maceo's assassination will render them
only more eager for action on the part OF
the government In the South the state
ment which is sometimes made in Cpposi-
ton to action about Cuba, that it Will in
tensify the negro question, is not heard at
all. The people believe that if We should
eventually have to accept Cuba as State,
the negro question could he settled Just as it
has been in Louisiana and Mississippi, by
the imposition of an educational qUalifi-
cation upon the franchise. The people OF
the South never have been and never will
be afraid of the educated negro.
II MoNG the late arrivals at the Ebbitt
4 House last night was Navigator George
NJ. Daniels, of the revenue cutter
service.
Mr.. Daniels has just returned from ser
vice on board the revenue cutter Rush,
which is doing police service among the
seal poachers around Victoria, Vancouver
Island. The Rush, so far, he said, has
captured seven poachers, all but one of
whom have been convicted. This unusual
ly large number is to be ascribed to the
poor luck Of the sealing fleet. The seal
can only be killed while asleep, and, ow-
ing to the very severe weather which has
been prevalent in that section, the animals
have had to go ashore for that purpose. So
the vessels of the fleet, rather than leave
without any catch, have ventured within
the sixty-mile limit, where they were
nabbed.
On the other hand, the company has had
an unusually prosperous year. They have
been allowed by the government to kill
10000 seals. This large kill has resulted
in Q corresponding decrease in the price.
Skins this season do not bring over 50
apiece in London.

in a general way. Such sentiments are
most virtuous and patriotic, but they are
not likely to do much for Cuba unless TO-

The Cuban League OF the United States,
formally organized in New York last night,
should do much to conserve, economize ard

Too often these patriotic heart bursts waste

II DELEGATION from Minnesota inthe
persons of McSsrS. George Lydick,
c. s. Pearce ana +. c. Kiley of
Grand Rapids is at the Wellington. These
gentlemen are engaged in the lumber busi-
ness and are here in the interests of some
legislation which they would like to see
passed at this session Of Congress.
The lumber business, said Mr.. Lydick,
who is one of the largest dealers of his
section, has been worse this year than
in any other during the past decade. The
cut has averaged scarcely onc-third Of tie
usual quantity. THIS condition Of affairs
is largely to be ascribcd TO the almost to-
tai stagnation in the building operations OF
the Northwestern States, in which Mime
sofas market for lumber principally lies.
But another very potent factor is the com
petition of Canada. The principal expense
in the lumber trade is the wages of the
men, and as Canadian dealers pay about
onehalf Of what is paid on this side of the
line they are able to undcrsell the dealers
of the United States and still make Il
larger profit.
To remedy this, Mr.. Lydick said, the lum-
Der merchants of this country, when Con-
grcss comes to consider the new tariff hill,
will ask that the import duty on lumber
be reimpoSed.

Susannah. A Novel, by Mary G..
Mann, author of In Summer Shade, is
very unusually realistic and interesting.
If we havo from timesto time improbable
ties and inconsistencies to encounter in
the plot Of the story, these are lost sight
Of in the spirit and action which mark its
handling ard detail The atmosphere
of Mrs. Weloh's lodging house and its
inmates is q sitting one it must be con-
fessed, and our heroine must have lacked
the refinement and sensitiveness in some
directions which she showed in others,
when she could brush Lawrence Kerr S
tangled locks for him or continue, I'M
der whatever pressure, to lnhabit the
basement in Great Kirby ST. No. al. In
short, Susannah is a story where the
passions and emotions are frankly and
unsparingly dealt with without veneer
and even without an ordinary reserve.

Reports that come from Indiana are so
conflicting that it is difficult to judge
correctly of the situation there. There
appears to be no doubt, however, that there
is big fight impending between those
who want the delegates instructed for
Mckinley and those who want them left
free SO that they may be in position to
vote for Harrison in case there should be
any chancs for his nomination. Had
Harrison not written his letter Of declina-
ton he could undoubtedly have secured
q solid delegation for himself without
much effort. But that letter which was
accepted as final seemed to release the
Indiana Republicans from all obligations
to him and they Immediately began to
form new alliances. The most of them
drifted McKinleyward. Now that Mr..
Harrison is inclined to reconsider his
destination, or at least permit himself to
be voted for, Fgood many Republicans
who would like to go back to him find
themselves embarrassed by promises to
the Ohio candidate. Another thing
which is even more embarrassing to the
Harrison movement is the slight chance
it has of success at St. Louis. Could it
be shown that all the opposition to Nc
Kinley would be willing to concentrate
on Harrison the movement would have
some chance Of SUCCESS But that cannot
be shown. 1t is much easier to show the
contrary. Nevertheless there is believed
to BIO fair prospect that the Harrison
influence will be sufficient to prevent out
right instructions for Mckinley. The
country delegates are objecting to being
instructed, or tagged as they call it,
and in Indiana the country delegates
constitute large majority. However, in
view of the surprises from other conven-
tions predictions in regard to the result
in Indiana must be looked upon as very
untrustworthy. The basis of the most
of them is feeling rather than judg-
ment

when the pail is filled the thought dwells
principally upon the tax" Conditions
change. Twice the Republican party
