LOOKS BRIGHT FOR olNeLev BILL.
The President, 1t Is Said. Would Allow IL
to Become a Law.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Senators and
representatives are beginning TO feel
the strength of the demand for immedi-
ate legislation to stop the drain on the
treasury. November closed with the
expenditures OF the month nearly S.
c00,000 greater than the receipts. The
deficit for five months Is more than $40.-
100000. Senator Morrills visit to Pres
ident Cleveland has resulted in the un-
derstanding that IL the Republican par
ty feels IL necessary to pave the way
for the incoming administration by
passing the Dingley bill he will not
veto IL, but will permit II to become
law without his signature.
The information comes direct from
Canton that whether the Dingley bill
passes or not at the short session, an
extra session for the revision of the
tariff will certainly be called soon aft
er March t. With the knowledge OF
what President Cleveland will do, and
of what Mr.. Mckinley will do when
he becomes president, the Republican
senators will caucus as soon as con-
gress meets The are assured now Of
enough free silver votes to pass the
Dingley bill. IL they themselves want
1t passed. The argument that the in
creased revenue is needed at once is
gaining force. 1t is backed by the be-
lief that If nothingys done at the short
session the importers will practically
nullify the new tariffs effects on the
revenue by bringing in enough goods
under the present duties to last them
for long time after the new duties go
into effect.
II the Dingley bill is taken up and
passed promptly importers will not
have time to discount II by excessive
advance importations and the revenue
| will gain the full effect of that temper
ary increase of duties until the new
tariff is enacted, some time next sum-
mer. Mr.. Dingley, after consultation
with many business men and Republic
| ans, has become convinced that the
passage of that bill is an urgent ne
cessity, even though an extra session
of congress and a general revision OF
the tariff follow quickly. He is i'm
pressing senators so far as he can with
this view.

wEyLER WAS FORCED.
Orders from Spain Compelled HIM to
Take the Field.

Washington, Dec. 3.--The Cuban le-
CATION has been reopened at the Hotel
Raleigh in this city. and will not be
closed again for several months. Min
ister Palma has not returned to Wash
ington, but Secretary Gonzalo de Que
sada Is here, and 1t is expected that
he will be appointed charge d'affaires,
in which case Mr.. Diaz Albertine will
act as secretary. Senior Quesada, when
asked for a reason as to why Weyler
has taken the field again. replied:
General Weyler, after saying re-
peatedly that he would not leave the
capital, took the field on receipt OF or
ders from Spain. because II was neces-
sary to do something to prevent the
American government from taking ac-
ton in December. He went into the
field and saw how hopeless II was to
continue: but on returning to Havana
he was again ordered by the home gov
ernment to go into the province OF
Pinar del Rio. and to remain there un-
iii the presidents message should be
delivered TO congress"

THE MONETARY CONVENTION.
IL VIII be Held at Indianapolis Some
Time I'm january.

Indianapolis. Dec. 3.-The men who
believe that the currency system Of the
country is in need of reform and that
the business interests OF the country
should point out the remedy for the
present ills are wasting no time In
getting the machinery started. Realiz-
ing that there Is likely TO be an extra
session OF congress shortly after March
4, the representatives of the CONNER
cial bodies of the central west Tuesday
fixed a time early In January for the
much-talked-of general convention OF
the business interests of the country 10
discuss this subject and make recon-
mendations to congress.
The convention will be held In lndi-
annapolis. and, though the date Is not
definitely determined ii will probably
be Jan. IL. II was fixed once for Jan.
5, but II was found that Tomlinson hall
was engaged for that date. The origi-
nal idea was that this convention
should appoint a commission to go
into the question and make recommen-
dations to congress, but at the close OF
Tuesdays conference IL seemed likely
that the convention itself will discuss
the different plans presepted and In
dorse the one il likes best.

FLOUR PRICES TO RISE.
St. Louis Mills VIII BE Running Full Blast
by the First of the Year.

st. Louis, Dec. By the first Of the
year every flour mill in st. Louis will
be running full blast. This is the pre-
diction on change. Many OF the st.
Louis mills are now shut down and
others are only running half time. The
flour jobbers confidently expect that
the price of flour will go up by the first
of the year. The millers claim that with
wheat as high as it is now, they can't
make flour with profit.
President Spencer of the Merchants
exchange said: ITO me there appears
no prospect of wheat declining much in
price All reports are bullish. 1t looks
as II the mills. sooner or later. will
have to grind wheat at high prices and
charge more for flour"

NO CHANGE OF POLICY.
Administration Will Stick to Its
Present Attitude
IN REGARD TO CUBAN AFFAIRS.
what Congressman Learn When They
Call Upon Secretary OIney at the state
Department - The Insurgents Have
Failed to Meet Requirements Originally
Laid Down by President Cleveland
Captain General weyIer Ordered Out.


Washington. Dec. 3.-The interest felt
by congressman in the attitude as
sumed by the administration towards
the Cuban insurrection is evidenced by
the number of calls Secretary Olney is
receiving from such of the senators and
members of the house as have arrived
in Washington in anticipation of the
assembling of congress next Monday.
Naturally the secretary's visitors take
advantage of their call to seek the lat
est official news as to Cuba, but as
far as can be learned the department
has little information on that subject
to communicate. The one thing that
does appear TO be established by the
testimony OF these callers is that the
administration contemplates no change
in the line of policy IL has pursued so
consistently since the beginning OF the
insurrection two years ago. While that
part Of the presidents message which
will deal with the subject has not yet
been finally reduced to form. 1t Is be-
lieved that 1t will be brief, but
cogent presentation of reasons that have
influenced the administration in hold
ing to its present attitude.
Failed to Meet Requirements.
The events of the past years cam
paign probably will be rapidly re-
viewed with the purpose of showing
that the insurgents so far have failed
to meet the requirements originally
laid down by the president as essen
tial to their recognition. They have
fought no general engagement to
successful issue; have not established a
permanent seat of government, and
have no seaport. In other words, they
| have not sensibly changed their con-
dition from what 1t was year ago,
so that by the same line of reasoning
laid down by the administration In the
| statement semi officially published
through the Associated Presslas spring
there is at present no occasion for q
change of policy on our part. 1t Is
presumed. however, that In addition &c
a statement to this effect, the president
will not hesitate to deplore the contin
uanse of the present unsatisfactor,
conditions in Cuba, injurious as they
are to American interests, and under
cover of his message may intimate Il
Spain the necessity of a termination o
existing evils at a reasonably earl!
date.
