Ladies' Relief Society VIII Have to Be
Assisted Thr ough the Year
Financially.


OAKLAND, CAL, June 15.-Mrs. f. S.
Strattou in her report as recording secre-
tary of the Ladies' Relief Society shows
that the prosperity of the homes main
tanned by that organization are threatened
and the time has come when the hearty
support of every friend is needed to carry
them through the year. The report says:
At the present time what is our condition?
There is no dividend whatever from the Contra
Costa stock the State has dropped 1925 OF its
monthly appropriation and our serious inroads
upon bank deposits at the time OF building
have decreased by half our interest account.
which melts away toward the zero point as we
gradually kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs. Our buildings are large, sanitary, con-
venient and substantial, but they have sadly
taxed our resources. We used not only the in
suranee money but contributions personally
urged from friends, the legacy left py Mrs. de
Fremery and the greater part OF that left by
DR.. Merritt. So we are to face the situation
with q present monthly income OF 5000 and
monthly expense account of $1l00.

Thurston for Recognition.

New York. Dec. 19 United
States Senator John NJ. Thurston of
Nebraska, very intimate friend of
President elect Mckinley, has de-
cided opinions on the subject of the
proposed recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence The Senator said to re
porter to-day:
"I,have thought for sometime that
the condition of things in Cuba could
not be allowed TO exist indefinitely,
and | now think the time has come
to take whatever action we properly
con to bring the trouble to an end
II believe the Cubans have de-
monstrated that they are able to hold
OUT against Spain for any length of
time, in spite Of the extraordinary
efforts of the mother country to quell
the uprising.
"That being the case I believe we
are justified in bringing about the in
dependence of the Cuban people" "

0lney's Opinion Of
the Resolution.
May Raise Expectations and In
flame Passions, But Will Not
Change Cleveland's Views.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Secretary
Olney being asked his opinion as to
the nature and effect Of the proposed
resolution recognizing the independ-
ence of the republic of Cuba, said to
Southern Associated Press report
err: | have no objection to stating
my own view of the resolution re-
specting the independence of the So
called republic of Cuba, which is to
be laid before the senate on Monday
Indeed. as there are likely to be serl.
Gus apprehensions regarding such
resolution, both in this country and
abroad and assuch apprehensions may
have injurious results Of grave char
acter, it is perhaps my duty to point
out that the resolution, if passed by
the senate, can probably be regarded
only as an expression of opinion by
the eminent gentlemen who vote for
it in the senate. and. if passed by
the house Of representatives, can
only be regarded as another express
.sion Of opinion by the eminent gen
tlemen who vote for it in the house.
The power to recognize the so called
republic of Cuba as an independent
state rests exclusively with the exc
cutive. A resolution on the subject
by the senate or by the house, by
both bodies or by one. whether con
current or joint. is imperative as
legislation and is important only as
advice Of great weight, voluntarily
rendered to the executive regarding
the manner in which ne shall exer
else his constitutional functions
The operation aud effect of the pro
posed resolution, therefore, even if
passed by both houses Of congress
by a two thirds vote, are perfectly
plain. It may raise expectations in
some quarters which can never be
realized. 1t may iDfame popular
passions both in this country and
elsewhere, may thus put in peril the
lives and property of American citi-
zens who are resident and travelling
abroad and will certainly obstruct
and perhaps defeat the best interests
of this government to afford such
citizens due protection But except
in these ways and unless the advice
embodied in the resolution shall lead
the executive to revise conclusions
already reached and officially de
clared, the resolution will be without
effect and will leave unaltered the
attitude Of this government towards
the two contending parties in Cuba.
