Y. p. S. C. E. CONVENTION.
Arrangements at Washington for the
Meeting Next July.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The fourth an
nual convention of the local Christian En-
deavor Union closed this afternoon with an
overlooking mass meeting in Central Hail.
Enthusiasm has run high during the past
few days, and Washingtonians look on the
event as but forecast of the international
convention to be held here in July next
Every society in the district was repre-
sented at the sessions, and a very large
number of the city's clergymen occupied
platform seats.
By far the most enthusiastic meeting was
the rally of the international convention
committees, held Saturday evening in Gen.
trail Hall. Every seat was occupied and
scores OF persons stood during the entire
session. The meeting was addressed by
President Clark and by Mr.. John Willis
Baer, general secretary of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor. both Of whom
came from Boston for the express purpose
OF comforting with the officers OF the COM
mttee of 1886 and of seeing and speaking to
the rank and file of the workers. Secretary
Baer talked on THE Responsibility OF the
Individual Worker" and, as his memory
was fresh with the achievement of the Bos-
ton committee in charge of the 1895 conven-
cecdingly practical. He was followed by
President Clark, whose subject was spirit

afternoon were by the Rev. Teun:s Hamlin,

Strong resolutions upon the Armenian ques-

were adopted. The progress reported by
the committee of 1896 indicates that the July
international convention will, as DR.. Clark
said I'm one of his addresses, reach the high
water mark. The vast committees, COM

Senators Intend to Talk Free COinage

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The present in

will be divided this week between the dis

the latter being based on the Davis resolu
ticn and the former on the free-coinage
substitute for the House bond bill. Several
Senators, including Teller Daniel, Cockrell
and White, will speak on the silver bill
during the week, and the probabilities are
that consideration of the bill will not be
concluded when the end of the week is
reached. No vote will be secured until the
Utah Senators take their seats but il will
come soon after that time. The silver sub
stitute is the unfinished business which
fact gives ii precedence over all other mat
ters each day after O'Clock, thus render
ing it impossible 10 take up the Monroe res
olution except during the morning hour
unless by general consent. Senator Pugh
has given notice that he will, on Monday
try to secure a vote on his resolution for
the payment OF government obligations in
coin instead of gold alone, but his success
VIII be reported during the week If Senator
Jones, of Nevada, gives his consent.
The House Will devote the coming week
to the consideration of appropriation bills
unless move is made to recognize the Gu
bans as belligerents. 1t is quite probable
that the question may ha presented to the
House in some shape. The committee on
foreign affairs has as yet proposed no reso-
luton on the subject, but there are many
indications that the whole question will
be considered in the House before dong. The

PLANNING TO AID CUBANS
CLEVELAND MAY SEND A STARTLING
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS SOON,
Outlining n Scheme for Ending the
Protectorate Over the Island.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-There is every
evidence now that the administration will
shortly take a hand In the conduct Of the
affairs of the government as connected with
foreign powers, and the first step will be in
the direction of securing for the struggling
Cubans some material assistance in their
war for freedom. For a week past there
has hovered over the State and Navy De-
partments a deep and significant portent
Of some great action about to be born.
Dispatches have been flying to and from
the commander of the fleet now lying at
Norfolk, and it is known that the vessels of
that fleet are being held in readiness for
some coup. The President is deep in plots
being hatched with Mr.. Olney looking to the
springing of a political surprise that will
surpass the master stroke made by the
President when he sent in the Venezuelan
message. There is politics in the coming
announcement now being so carefully
watched by the midwives of the administra-
ton, and it will be politics in the guse Of
statecraft.
Mr.. Cleveland realizes that the sympathies
of the American people are with the Cubans
in their war against the Spanish holders of
the island. and he stands ready to take adj
vantage of the conservatism that has
marked the consideration of Cuban affairs
by the two houses of Congress. The delib-
Grafton with which the two committees are
proceeding with the resolutions to recognize
the belligerent rights of the Cubans has
been brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent, and it is his intention to flank the
Republicans now in power in the legislative
branches of the government by some move
utterly unexpected by them. His contem-
plated action WILL OF course, take the form
of a message to Congress, in which he will
point out that, as there is no apparent ad-
vance being made by the Spanish in putting
down the rebellion on the island. 1t is time
this government should take cognizance of
the war being carried on in Cuba TO the
danger of American lives and property, and
he will probably recommend that this gov
ernment be empowered, through the State
Department, to correspond with the govern
ment of Spain with view to bringing the
Cuban war to end, or the message will
recommend the extension of financial aid TO
the Cubans by which they can purchase
their freedom from Spain, giving this coun-
try practical protectorate over the island
and assuring the people of this country the
privilege of preference in all matters of
trade. Such a political move on the part of
the administration is contemplated, and If
not forthcoming at once the delay will be
due to the change recently made in the
head OF the Spanish army operating against
the Cubans. Mr.. Cleveland may think it
wise to allow the new commander of the
Spanish forces to show what he can do with
the rebellion before taking it for granted
that the war cannot be brought to salts
factory conclusion by the Spanish govern
ment.
