| WASHINGTON, March Sat the open
ing of the house today, at the request
of Hit, chairman Of the foreign affairs

! conference on the Cuban resolution was
agreed TO. but the speaker did not an

WASHINGTON, March 5--The question
OF the Cuban independence came up un-
expectedly in the senate today when
Allen. populist of Nebraska, presented a
, resolution directing the president to
issue a proclamation recognizing the
independence of Cuba An objscticn
from Hale Ct Maine, TO the request OF
Allen for UNANIMOUS consent to make
speech on the resolution, directed
matters to the exchange of PERSONAL
ties inconsistent with senatorial cour-
| tesy. The Nebraska senator warmly
announced that it Hale o. jected the
latter could take warning that he would
not receive unanimous consent on any
measure so long as he, Allen, was in
the senate. This brought from Chand-
Ter, republican of New Hampshire, the
declaration that be would give consent
to no senator who prefaced his request
with a threat against senators in general
| Allen retorted that his remarks we're
applicable to Hale and not to senators
in general and that be had no apologies
to offer as to Hale. Hale said be would
have no vendetta with Allen and thought
each could be in better business thai
watching to pay each other off Allen
closed the incident By stating that be
would postpone his speech il Hale gave
his consent to such course.
The objection of Hale prevented the
consideration OF conference report at
| the present time. Upon request of
Sherman 1t WAS made special order of
business for Monday. To discussion
Chandler declared the resolutions were
not strong enough. He was in favor of
recognition and the maintenance of
the Cuban independence by the United
| States. Call moved to reconsider the
motion and adjourn till Monday so the
report might be considered tomorrow
Hswley advised caution. We might be
| involved in war not only with one nation
but with several without adequate navy
great care exercised in giving offence to
| other nations. He hoped that men so
vigorously supporting the warlike resOlu-
| tions advocated would vote liberal
appropriations for the increase of the
| navy srmy and coast defences. Call
withdrew The motion to reconsider
motion to adjourn until Monday and
the Cuban resolutions therefore will be
considered on Monday.
The conferrees on the Cuban resolu-
tion at er conference of forty minutes
today agreed upon the house substitute.
At o'clock Sherman presented q con-
ference report by the senate.
The senate passed resolution direct
ing the judiciary committee to inyesti

sary to the resolution were drawn by
