That Annoy the Alabama
Senator.
1t Is Time That the United States
Checks Outragss Committed
by Spaniards.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20.-In the
Senate to-day the subject of chief interest
was the joint resolution introduced some
time ago by Morgan declaring a condition
OF public war exists Cuba, and strict neu-
trailty should be maintained by the United
States. When taken up Morgan stated in
reply to question by White of California
that it was His purpose to get vote to-
day. He said:
Its passage will have some effect in
staying the terrible. outrageous and abom-
Unable conduct reported day after day as
occurring in Cuba. The Committee on
Foreign Relations has just examined a
very enlightened gentleman, an English
man, who has been there, and disclosures
which he made of the situation in Cuba
were such that it is morally impossible
that the people OF the United States can
continue to delay making some demand
upon the executive for interpos:tion to
prevent the horrors occurring there
"The Senator" said White, sis men,
Der of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, and is familiar with its business
transactions. 1 wish to inquire of him
whether testimony that has been taken
before committee and has been reduced
TO writing will be printed, so it can be in
spected?'
Morgan said resentfully: "Of course;
we do not do things in the dark"
81 am not insinuating anything of the
kind" White explained.
What is the lnsinuation, if it Is not

piled. II have no idea of doing anything
of the kind; / simply asked civil qnes-

L would like to know whether the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations is advised
that that is being done, and if so, whether
it wouldn't be wise to await the result of
that examination, when possibly rumors

In this connection interest is revived in
the convention, now pending in the Sem

it upon the atten ton Of the Senate after
the arbitration treaty is disposed of.
1t was learned to-day that the provision
in the convention relating to making
Mount st. Elias the stapeing point OF the
boundary line is merely by permission,
inasmuch as the mountain lies near to
the 1uncUon OF the ten-marlnc-league
line and the one hundred and forty first
meridian. The convention provides that

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 2o.-Be-
sides the efforts of Jerry Simpson of a
faction of the Democratic minority in the

Republican majority to force Speaker
Reed to permit other legislation than the
tariff and appropriation bills to be enacted

such reform must be in the shape OF well

be best provided for by authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint a commission as proposed by
the Indianapolis monetary convention. There
fore we have the honor to request that you
favor the granting of such authority to the

BLIZZARD IN A TEAPOT

Our esteemed contemporary the Ex-
aminer seems to have taken on a most
extravagant attack of nervous anxiety
from an apparently insignificant cause.
The occasion was nothing more danger
GUS in itself than a very foolish order
which was made by notary public in
the course of the taking of the deposi-
tions of two members of the Examiners
staff. For several days past some pages
of the great daily have been devoted to
the arraignment of a microscopic no.
tary, intermixed with learned argu-
ment intended to prove that this Off
cial Lilliputian was not veritable Poly
phemus. The result Is that this individ-
ual notary has secured a notoriety that
will make him a man of distinction
among his modest brethren, and which
may bring him a run, of patronage that
will start him on, the high road to the
Legislature. This notary, who, in the in
nocence of his foolish little heart and un-
DER the hypnotic advice of Hon. Grove
Johnson, imagining himself a judicial
officer because he happened to sit at the
taking of a deposition, ordered the de
ponents into the custody of the sheriff
under a commitment to place them in
the county Jail for contempt of court"
in refusing 10 answer certain questions
propounded by the examining counsel.
OF course the order was mere uned
ucated flight into the wilderness of Off
cial absurdity, and should have been
dismissed by all concerned as a fairly
seasonable joke, at the expense of Hon.
Grove Johnson, who should thereupon
have liquidated, according to the time
honored custom.
Instead of taking this sensible and
proceeding was taken seriously by all
the parties concerned. The Examiner
published expert opinions by a, large
contingent of the up-country bar; ex-
judges of the supreme court and mer
high in office and eminent out of office
were interviewed and their opinions
given to the world without money and
without price, and statutes were
quoted and Interpreted for the public
edification, until that notary must have
imagined that the very fabric of civil
government was about to topple by res-
son of his mandatory indiscretion.
AS final refuge the sheriff of the city
and county Of San Francisco sought
shelter behind an opinion by his legal
advisers, who instructed him to return.
the commitment to the rash notary with
the information that the invitation to
incarcerate the contumacious witnesses
was respectfully declined; and so it was
done, and now the blizzard in the teapot
has subsided.

is 1T WORTH THE CoSTp

Senator Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio may
soon be asking himself if, indeed he has
not already put the question: "Is it worth
what it costs?
Mr.. Hanna emerged from the fat OBJ
scurity of successful manufacturer 5
political fortunes of William Mckinley.
He got Mr.. Mckinley nominated: got him
elected: secured a seat in the senate for
himself and became the dictator of the
two years. 1t was a wonderful achieve
ment.
But was it worth what it cost? Mr.
Hanna's health is seriously, perhaps
permanently. impaired. He is candi-
date for election to the United States
senate, but the office must come. indi-
rectly at least, from the people of Ohio
Mr.. Hanna has never before appealed to
the people. AS the possessor of great
wealth and arrogant good health--as
the manager of another mans interests
as the dictator of great political party
as the captain of men, the junior senator
from Ohio exhibited great talent and
wonderful executive ability. But he has
never until now gone before the people
1t is characteristic of both statesmen
and politicians that when they appeal
to that unknown quantity, the people,
they very often lose their self possess
sion and confidence, no matter how much
they may have done to earn and hold
the latter's esteem and confidence. Until
the election is held and the votes are
counted no man may count upon the
result with any great degree of certainty.
The nervous strain of political cam
paign has killed more men than the
hard work of an official position.
And what has Mark A. Hanna of Ohio
ever done to merit the respect and es-
teem of even the people of his own state?
1t is not strange that he should be in a
condition approaching nervous prostra-
ton. Decidedly, Mr.. Hanna it is not
worth what it has cost you, and what
it will cost you.

1t is fair to assume that the only OBJ
stacie that lies in the way of getting the

We must supply such hall, or we can
not get the convention. Do we want the
