CUBA'S CAUSE LAGS.
RESOLUTIONS REFERRED BACK
FOR FURTHER CONFERENCE.
Sherman's object Was to Secure Such
a Modification as Would Please the
Opposing Senators Hopes TO
Thus Secure an Early Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-An unex-
pectcd climax to the Cuban debate was
reached in the senate, when on motion
of Mr.. sherman, chairman of the COM
mittee ON foreign relations, the Cuban
resolutions were reCOmmitted TO the
conference committee. The vote to re.
commit was unanimous and without
the formality of roll call, representing
a general concensus of opinion that the
committee should change the resolu.
tions as TO overcome the opposition that
has developed. Messrs Sherman, Nor.
gan and Lodge were appointed TO repre-
sent the senate in a further conference
Simultaneous with this action Mr.. Mills
presented Cuban resolutions, which pro-
pose to go further than has been sug-
gested at any previous time.
They direct the president to request
Spain TO grant local government to
Cuba and in case Spain refuses the
president is authorized to use the mill
tary and naval forces in taking posses
sion of Cuba and holding it until self
government is established by the Cuban
people Mr. Platt also introduced reso.
lutions limiting the action of congress
to an expression of sympathy for Cuba's
struggle and authorizing the prcsi dent
TO extend the friendly offices of the
United States toward securing a free,
independent republican form of govern.
ment. With the Cuban resolution re-
committed TO conference the senate
turned its attention to the legislative
appropriation BILL which was not dis.
posed of when the senate adjourned.
Senator sherman, when asked con
cerning his motion to recommit the
Cuban resolutions to the conference
committee, said the object was to secure
such a modification of them as will
satisfy the sCruples of some of the sena-
tors, who are opposing the resolutions,

MERELY A FORMAL ceNsURE.
Bayard VIII Not BE OHiciaIIy Notified ol
Houses Action.

WASHINGTON March 24.-Ambassador
Bayard will not receive any official
notice of the ccusure passed upon him
by the house of representatives, last
week, unless Secretary Olney should de-
eide to bring the matter to his attention,
which members consider improbable.
There was no provision contained in the
resolutions for bringing them to the
ambassadors attention.
Communications with members Of
the diplomatic service are properly made
through the state department, and
clause might have been attached to the
resolutions requesting the president or
the secretary of state TO transmit them
to Ambassador Bayard, but this was not
done. Neither the speaker of the house
or the clerk is authorized to send the
resolutions to Mr.. Bavard, and neither
of them will do so without authority.
1t is unlikely, therefore, that the am
bassador will make any reply to the cen
sure officially, members believe, al
though, Of course, if he cares TO do 50 he
can deal with the matter in his official
correspondence with the department.

IT is an old saying that one of the
ways by which a man may grow rich, is
to neglect his neighbours business. The
government of the United States through
its representatives in Congress isinviting
national poverty for it has been attend
ing assiduously to the business Of the
whole world excepting of course the af-
fairs Of the United States, But after all
we ought not TO complain. Legislative
Interference by the present Republican
Congress would be much more expensive

HITTING THE OPIUM PIPE
Five White Smokers Were Caught ID
Chinese Den
Others Escaped-Chinese in the Opium
Tranee-Prisoners Take 1t Very CooI,y.
Pipes and Opium Are Hidden

At | 10 this morning Officers Harris
and Henderson got word that an opium
den under the Chinese Freemason build
ing, on Benjamin street. was full of white
smokers. Following up this advice they
advanced cautiously to tue place and
heard voices and laughter coming from
below. Having sufficient evidence to war
rant them in raiding the place they made
sudden rush, but before the door could he
burst open the inmates were warned and
most of the pipes hidden. The room, how
ever, was misty with the heavy fumes OF
opium. Lying around on hunks. half un.
dressed, were five or six men profusely
jewelled and well clothed.
Two or three others managed to escape,
but five were arrested. The den is most
Ioathsome place. On one filthy bunk two
young men lay with their coats and vests
off and in their stockinged feet. a little
lamp on tin tray stood between them,
with some playing cards.
Behind them a hot pipe was found which
they had just been smoking. Some Chi
nese smokers, in state of opium trance.
were ignored, but the white smokers, of
whom three at least belonged to the dis
picable order of macquereaux. were told to
dress and placed under arrest.
They took the mattef very caitniy auu
dressed in a leisurely manner. Each man
was garbed in the most fashionable OF
clothes and wore rings and gold chains
bought from the earnings of fallen women.
Their names as given were John johnson,
Fred Brown, John Burns. Clarence Watson
and Charles Levison. Owing to the fact
that the pipes we're hidden it is believed
that the evidence will not be sufficient to
convict the whole of them. The two men
who escaped are known to the officers and
the whole matter will be thoroughly sifted

The Situation Still Demon strations
Against the Senate
PARIS, Feb. 1S.--The political crisis is
not solved. The friends of the govern
ment say that the moderate senators desire
a settlement OF the disputes and according
to the Rappel, tile Radical deputies will
not raise debate on the subject when the
chamber meets on Thursday, but, it is
added, the Moderates will do so and the
members of the extreme Left intend to
stump the country in protest against the
attitude of the senate.
LONDON, Feb. 10. The correspondent OF
the Times at Paris says:
The cabuet council today made further
arrangements as though no crisis existed.
A Paris dispatch to the Daily News says:
M. Bourgeois makes no secret of his
opinion that the time has arrived to brave
tlie senate and to appeal to public opinion
against it, He will not resign If the ma.
iority remains constant. Should 1t fall
away he would come forward to head q
radical agitation against the senate and
taking his stand on the security of the
wage-earners' investments. He will have
powerful popular support. One of the i'm.
mediate effects of the crisis is a movement
for banquets throughout the country IN
honor of the anniversary of February "a,

claimed. NJ. Bourgeois will attend the

\ STRANGE PHENOMENON
Chicago Claims a Medal for Exhibiting
Black Snow
To Go Down in History as the Fit Companion
Of the Warm Snow Of
the N. G. B.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.--Black SHOW was a
novelty enjoyed by this city tonight. Be.
tween & and O'Clock there was fall of a
couple of inches of what seemed in the
dark to be the staple winter article, but
which on examination under gas or electric
light proved to be not the ordinary caucas-
ian variety. The flakes, crystal and tieecy
enough, were of a muddy-colored sort that
al once suggested the Ethiopian adjective.
When melted on an extended palm, they
left each a tiny ink-like speck. In the
mass the so-called snow looked like three
weeks old snow. The bureaus of this and
other supposed good points we're at first
inclined to attribute the phenomenon to
local atmospheric conditions in common
with the smoke and CRIME of the city. Ad.
vices, however, that the same results we're
observed at suburbs thirty-five miles dis
tant upset all such explanations.
The storm b'gan at 6:4O p. m. and con-
tinued spasmodically until far into The
night. From Evanston to the Indiana state
line and from the shore of Lake Michigan
to the most westerly suburbs, the $50
square miles of Cook county were swept by
the peculiar visitation.
The streets down town were crowded
when the dust filled snow first began to
fall. The garments of pedestrians pre-
cred with dust and then sprinkled with
water. When dried the dirt was easily re-
moved and no stain was left.
kilograms received from points as far
cway as the cities of eastern Iowa told of
similar phenomena.
Southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois
and western Indiana were alike oveIspread.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 1S.-Claus Spreck-
els today presided at meeting of the di-
rectors of the San francisco and san Joa-

prompt in paying up the fifth 10 per cent
assessment.
President Spreckels and Vice-President
Watt have come to the conclusion that tne

the road from Stockton to point about
twelve miles south of Fresno.
