WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Members Of the
ways and means committee say that there
have been no developments either in their
various conferences or in suggestions from
leaders of the house indicating that there
is any desire or intention to pass a tarih
bill during the present congress. 1t had
been reported that the bill on which the
committee was now working would be
passed at this session. Chairman Dingley
said that nothing of the kind was in con
temptation, and no such plan would be
considered unless something was done by
the senate, which would be TO take up the
bill it now has, amend it and put 1t into
conference. Mr.. Dingley indicated that il
would be impracticable TO pass a bill
which could not receive consideration in
the senate. Another member of the ways
and means committee said that it would
he foolish for this house TO pass bill
which would be torn to pieces in the SEN
ate The next house would have to pass il
again over the opposition the bill aroused
in the senate The present work of the
ways and means committee is the prelimi-
nary work which that committee would
have to do in the beginning OF "A new ses-

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is Some opposition
has appeared in the senate to the nomina-
tion by President Cleveland Of Secretary
Francis ls head of the interior department
TO succeed Hoke Smith. Nominations of
the president for cabinet positions are usu-
ally confirmed very promptly. The nomi-
nation of Mr. Francis was sent TO the sen
ate "a week ago and referred to the finance
committee in accordance with the usual
custom of the senate. That committee has
Just held its t'rst meeting since the nOmi-
nation was referred to it, and it is now
stated that Secretary Francis will not be
confirmed until after the holiday recess,
the purpose, It is intimated, being to de-
fer confirmation until after the Missouri
senatorial contest.
1t is understood that Senator Vest, a
member of the finance committee ard an
opponent of Francis in Missouri politics.
suggested that the nomination go over un-
til after the holidays, to which his col
leagues agreed
The opposition, il such it can be termed,
can be traced to the recent election in
which Secretary Francis supported the
gold Democratic candidates. Considerable
feeling has been engendered, but it is not
believed that the opposition will he car

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Senator Morgan
of Alabama held the attention Of the SEN
ate and well filed galleries for an hour by
his earnest advocacy Of a strong and de-
cisive policy in dealing with the Cuban
question The prominence of Mr.. Morgan
in the Cuban debate of last session, when
he had charge Of the Cuban resolutions
reported from the committee on foreign
relations, gave special interest to his speech.
He spoke in dispassionate style, although
his words had directness and severity in
picturing the horrors existing in Cuba
such as is seldom heard in the senate. Mr..
Morgan spoke freely of the possibilities of
war welcoming it, If necessary to guaran-
tee the protection of American citizens.

prevent the collection of any indemnity
for wrongs. The senator questioned the
wisdom of the presidents position that
the granting of belligcrent rights would
be "untimely' Mr. Morgan's views on
the line OF action which should be adopted
was summed up i'm the following:
Although / believe that belligerent
rights should be accorded the Cubans, in
asmuch as the president prefers more
coercive policy and warns Spain that the
time is near at hand for decisive action, l
will support him in any movement that
will save our people on that island from
