THE ADMINISTRATION
WANTS INFORMATION BEFORE
ACTION is TAKEN.

Good Republican Organization in Sen
ate, While Democrats Are just the
Opposite-Responsibil Of Any De-
Law in Bill Will Lie With Democrats.
E. F. PARSONS, Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C.-Much interest
is felt here in the course of the house
of representatives upon the senate reso-
luton recognizing the Cubans as bel
ligerents. Whatever delay occurs In
this matter will be because the admin
istration is not yet ready to act in the
matter. 1t is absolutely necessary that
a new administration, which found on
coming into power its only sources OF
information those created by party
adverse to its interests and methods,
should have time not only to study the
situation, but to study it through men
selected by itself. Any step looking
to the recognition of the Cubans, either
as belligerents or as an independent
nation, must be a grave one, and is
likely to bring about serious complied
tions with one or more European ma
tions. 1t is easy for men who have
not this responsibility upon their
shoulders to insist upon immediate
action and to talk glibly about the abil-
ity of the United States to whip any
nation, but the man who recognizes
that his action, unless carefully con-
sidered, is likely to plunge nations into
war, sacrifice not alone millions of
money but perhaps thousands of lives,
must feel that the responsibility is
very grave one. Human life, whether
in Cuba or in the United States or upon
the high seas is sacred, and president
who could or would take action likely
to create such complication as to endan-
ger the lives of his own people or the
people of ether nations, without the
most careful consideration, would be
unworthy of the confidence of his coun-
try.

The Tariff Bill.

is not a Republican body everybody
knows. That the ability of the Repub-
licans to pass tariff bill depends upon
the strength of the protective sentiment
among the Democrats and Populists is
conceded. The Republicans are in the
minority in the Senate. To pass the
tariff bill they must either have the
active support of one or more Demo
Gratis or one or more members of the
Democratic and Populist parties must
omit to vote against it. There is rea-
son to believe that the bill will receive
the support of at least one Democrat
and probably two Populists, if Senator
Kyle is to be classed as Populist.
He is put down in the Congressional
Directory as an Independent. Senator
Jones, of Nevada, who has been classed
as Populist for the past two years,
will, it is understood, support the bill,
and it is probable that Senator Kyle
will do so, or least not vote against it.
Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, Demo-
crat, has indicated clearly his inten-
ton to support protective tariff. The
Republicans, in their caucus, deter
mined to put aside personal preferences
in regard to the various items of the
bill, each man submitting his proposed
amendments to the finance committee,
and afterwards, if necessary, to the
caucus committee, upon this subject.
They further agreed, much as they
might desire to enter upon a general
discussion of the tariff, to forego that
undertaking for the sake of economy of
time, and to press at every turn for
active, energetic work upon the sched-
ules of the bill, with the purpose of
getting final action upon it at the earli-
est possible moment. Not speech,
aside from the explanation which SEN
ator Aldrich offered in the opening day
of the debate, is made by the Repub-
licans, other than the brief responses
made necessary in reply to the attacks
which the Democrats make upon the
schedules of the bill, as the discussion
progresses. Thus the public may I'M
derstand that for the delay in the pass
age of the bill through the senate, the
responsibility rests with the Demo-
cratic party, who recognize the fact
that every days delay is postpone
ment of business activity and pros
perity, and that by this process only
are they able to create the dissatisfac-
ton which they hope may result to
their advantage in the coming elections.
One Hundred Millions Seek Investment.
The people who have been insisting
that the United States needs more
money" are puzzled to know how to
explain the fact that great railway of
this country recently refunded more
than 100 million dollars of bonds at
three and a half per cent interest, and
found plenty of money to take them at
that price. If the country really need
ed more money for general business
purposes, that which it has would not
be looking for investment to three and
half per cent per annum.
