fate of the metric system bill still
hangs In the balance. In advocating
the metric system, c. w. Stone. re-
publican, Pennsylvania, chairman OF
the committee on coinage, weights and
measures. spoke of the great embar-
rassment the use of our present system
entailed in connection with our entire
trade and the inextricable confusion
involved. The metric system had
proved a complete success. II was in
ternational In character. almost uni
versal in use among civilized nations.
Bartlett, democrat, New York. op-
posed the adoption of what he denomi-
mated this French continental sys-
tenn" Gentlemen had come to him
since the debate began and had APP
pealed to him, saying: Let US adopt
this international system and IL win
pave the way for international bimet-
allism, on which all our hopes are con-
centrated." Laughter.) He thought
IL absurd to attempt to force this sys-
tenn on seventy million people after
few hours of unscientific debate
Otey, democrat, Virginia, opposed the
bill In picturesquely humorous
speech, In which he said IL would be as
easy FOR him to learn German or Sans
krft as the metric system. He took a
table of the metric system and said he
looked in vain for the wet measure.
where's your measure for whiskeys?"
he inquired. II venture to say Ken
lucky will have something to say
about the adoption of this new tangled
system. Her delegation will be solidly
opposed to it." Laughter.) Adjourn
ment followed before the yea and nay
vote was taken.

1t had never been taken from the seal
ed envelope, on the back of which IL
was endorsed by the clerk Of the hotel
In which 1t was deposited. Mr.. Beane
said the reason of his dismissal from
the service of the government was be-
cause the administration could not
handle him. The gold bug president
and his goldbug advisers had labored
under the impression that they had
bought him with the position of spec
ial agent They had discovered how
ever, he would not follow their dicta-
tion with respect to silver and he was
thereupon dismissed. Mr. Beane, as
one of the national committeeman, is

CLEVELAND AND CUBA.
The President Expected to Make w
marks to Congress.

Washington, April 7.-Secretary OIL
ney called early at the white house and
remained in close consultation with the
president a long time. 1t is believed
the two were engaged IN the prepara-
ton of special message to congress
relating to Cuba and an expression of
the actual state of affairs on the island
as revealed in the reports OF United
States consular officers and other trust
ed sources of information. There is a
resolution before the president, passed
at the instance OF Senator Hoar call
ing for this information. IT is reason
ed that the president, in transmitting
the information, may feel IL his duty In
view OF the overwhelming majority by
which the Cuban concurrent resolu-
tions passed both branches of congress,
TO make a plain statement showing
that. regardless OF the sympathy he
may feel personally for the insurgents.
he is absolutely bound by the facts as
he sees them, by precedent and by the
dictates of international law, to persist
In his attitude.
