members Of congress interested in the
Sioux City & Pacific railroad appeared
before the house committee on Pacific
railroads today. Representative Meik-
IeJohn, Perkins, Fletcher and Towne, Of
Minnesota, were prepared to speak. It
was the request of these members that
the committee include provisions for
the building of this branch, in any gen
eral bill it may report. Several ques-
tions were asked upon the right of con-
gress to divert the sinking fund to such
purpose, but Mr.. Meil1lejohn contend
ed that the sinking fund was already
invested in railroad bonds which would
bring $15,O00000 if sold in the New York
market, and that the proposition was
merely to invest $4,000,0O0 in Sioux City
bonds.
Congressman Fletcher was also be-
fore the committee and delivered an

DEFINITE ACTION ON THE RESO-

SENATE.
AN HOUR OF SPIRITED DEBATE.
IT BROUGHT OUT THE READING OF
SENIOR DE LOME'S STATE
MENT.
MORGAN COMMENTED SEVERELY.
Called to Task by MIR. Hale, Who De-
Tended the Position Spain H"I
Taken.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The SEN
ate had an hour of spirited Cuban de-
bate late today after the early part of
the day had been given to several
speeches by Mr.. Lodge on immigra-
tion and Mr. Pugh on silver. The
Cuban discussion was mainly impor-
tant in bringing out the full reading
Of the statement of the Spanish side Of
the case by Senor Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister. This had been re-
ferred to some days ago, but could not
be made public. Today, however, Mr.
Morgan read a letter from Secretary
Olney, saying the Spanish minister had
his permission for the public use Of
the statement 1t is claimed to detail
them surgent methods of guerrilla war
fare, the burning of canefields and the
disorganized character of the army.
Mr.. Morgan commented severely on the
minister's statement. The senator had
several sharp controversies with Mr.
Hale over various phases of the Cuban
question. During the day Mr. Elkins
offered a resolution directing the COM
mittee on foreign affairs to report as
to the status of war in Cuba before a
vote was taken il the senate.
Mr.. EllIins made early reference to
the Cuban question by Offering a res
olution directing the committee on for
eign relations, before the vote was
taken on the Cuban resolutions, to
make a full report to the senate of all
material facts on the subject, stating
specifically whether state of war now
existed in Cuba; how long it has been
N
gagged on the respective sides; whether
the insurgents have adopted a con-
stitution and organized a government,
and at what place the seat of govern
ment is carried on; what places and
ports are occupied by the insurgents,
and to what extent they would affect
our relations with Spain.
Mr.. Sherman asked that the resolu-
tion go over under the rules until to-
morrow, and Mr.. Elkins assented.
Senator Cannon, of Utah, made his
maiden speech, sharply criticising Sec
retary Hoke Smith for his recent re-
ply to a senate resolution regarding
Indian lands. Mr.. Cannon character
lied the secretary's reply as discourte-
Gus, misleading and evasive, and pro-
tested on behalf of the West OH lack
of intelligent action in matters con-
corning the Western country.
AT l o'clock Mr.. Lodge was racog-
ni2ed for a speech on immigrdti ton,
and in support of the resolution for
additional immigration laws. MrLodge
spoke for an hour, and was followed
by Mr.. Pugh in support of the silver
amendment to the tariff bill. Mr..
Pugh argued that the economic trou-
bies of the United States were caused
by an insufficient and congested cur
rency. The senator declared that the
restriction on our currency to the sin
gle gold standard was the root OF our
financial troubles.
At $3.50 Mr.. Pugh yielded the floor to
continue his financial speech tonOr
row.
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-17
THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Mr.. Sherman at once called up the
Cuban resolutions, and Mr.. Morgan
OF Alabama, addressed the senate upon
them. The senator said the American
people had expressed their Cuban bel.
Hgerency and independence by a great
deluge of petitions and memorials
Mr.. Sherman rose to state that he
was authorized to say that the house
of representatives had received Cuban
petitions filling a large box.
Mr.. Hale here precipitated a contro-
VerSy by saying that senator's were
familiar with the methods employed in
getting up petitions. He did not know
whether it was the case in this matter.
but he presumed they We're all on print
ed heads, sent out from one source
They represented no spontaneous pub
lie sentiment from the country at
large, but were the emanations of
agencies at New York and Washington.
1t was doubtless part of a deliberate
plan to influence sentiment.
Mr.. Morgan passed the petitions to
Mr. Hale, and asked the latter to eX-
anime them and see if any fraud had
been committed.
Does my colleague (Hale) know of
a remonstrance against Cuba ?' asked
Mr.. Frye.
Yes said Mr. Hale, 81 have hum
dreds of letters from leading business
men. am not talking about let
ters,' said Mr.. Frye. 81 regard letters
as much more important than peti-
tions," declared Mr.. Hale, 'and they
give the view of conservative men,"
Mr.. Morgan referred contemptuously
to those business men" who were in
the habit of trying to defeat legisla-
tion by private letters to senator's The
senator next referred to Minister Du-
puy de Lomes statement received from
Secretary Olney by the committee This
was the signal for further sharp ques-
tions from Mr.. Hale. He said this
statement needed explanation, even at
this late day, and he referred to the
conflict between Mr.. Lodge and Mr..
Sherman as to the minister's state
ment.
MI. Sherman interrupted to say that
Mr.. Hale was not correctly stating the
circumstances of the receipt Of the min
ister'S statement, and when Mr.. Hale
persisted Mr.. Sherman added that he
would not be led into a wrangle.
Mr.. Morgan went on to say that the
Spanish minister's statement had been
drawn out by Spain's desire to delay
action in congress- Spain feared the
United States would get in a tantrum.
The Spanish minister therefore sent
latter sent it to the senate committee.
He (Morgan) had sent to the secretary
requesting authority to make public
the minister's statement. Mr.. Olney
answered that he had conferred with
the Spanish minister, and the latter
had no objection to its use.

ALWAYS ILLPAID MINERS.
Liable to be Still Worse Paid in In
diana.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 7-President
TaIley of the Indiana BituminOus Oper-
atOrs, has furnished a statement for
the public in regard to the mining sit
uation, called forth by the statement
that he is the backbone of the oppO-
sition to paying go cents the amount
for which the miners have been out
since May 1. He says: LAS president
of the Operators association, I simply
voice the unanimous sentiment of our
members, in refusing to be cajoled or
driven to pay a price for mining, which
would reduce the tonnage of the Indi-
ana mines two-thirds and give the min
ers one ton instead of three, or 60 cents,
against 55 cents, which we stand to
pay. The circumstances which COM
PEELED the operators to ask for five
cent reduction four months ago, are
daily growing more serious, and it is
doubtful if their demands were acced-
ed to this time whether the mines
would be able to resume at anything
like their former output. The mines
cannot be allowed to remain idle when
there are plenty of men in other min
ing fields, working at less wages than
those offered here, who would be glad
to accept the So cent price"
Up to this time both miners and OPP
orators have been playing a waiting
game but it is known now that some of
the operators want to start their mines
with imported labor and call on the
governor for protection.
