LEE RESIGNS.
Feels That He Is Useless Under
the Present Administration.
His Letter to the Powers That Be
Goes by the Next Mail-An Occur
renee That Should Make Every
American Blush For His Country.

New York, Feb. "a dispatch
to the Herald from Havana via
Key West says:
Consul Lee has resigned.
His letter rendering his resignation
under certain conditions goes by
the next mail. He determined some
days ago to take such a step if he
were not upheld in his efforts to
protect all American citizens in
Cuba.
The consul-general asked the state
department that he be authorized
to demand the release of citizens
of the United States confined in
Cuban prisons under the same lille
gal circumstances as was the ILL
fated Ruiz. Such authorization has
not been granted him.
Spanish warships in Cuban wa
tiers have, since Sunday, been con-
centrating in the harbor of Havana.
This is regarded here as very sig
nificant in view of the important
incidents of the last few days.
Great anxiety is felt at the palace
and in all official circles at the news
from Cienfugos. which states that
that city is the centre of a serious
mutiny of the Spanish troops.
Large arrears of pay are due the
army in Cuba, and the discomfort
caused by this has eliminated in
open disobedience in the Spanish
ranks in the Cienfuegos district
The insurgents in the eastern end
of the island have captured Bayano,
an important town in Santiago.

Washington, Feb. 22-The annual
senatorial observance of Washington's
birthday by having his farewell address
read by one of the leading elocutionists
of the senate. took place today in the
presence of a large audience, Mr.. Dan
iel (Dem. Va.) being the reader chosen
for the occasion.
The remainder of the day was &C.
cupied in the consideration of the Indian
appropriation bill, which was not con-
cluded at the time of adjournment.
Another of President Cleveland We
toes of private pension bills drew out
from several senators rather virulent
condemnation of the preSident-Mr.
Morgan (Dem. Ala) contrasting the
small aggregate amount of all the pri-
vate pension bills passed at this con-
gress with the large sum paid to the
bond syndicate" and Mr.. Gallinger
(Rep. n. H.) characterized such vetoeS
as trivial and foolish" The veto was
referred to the committee on pensions.
Just on the eve of adjournment for
the day, the Loud bill Ito amend the

the postoffice committee by Mr. Chan
dler (Rep. n. h with amendments.
including one for l cent letter post
age. This bill and report was antagon-
lied bv two Populist senators-Butler

action upon it during this congress.
A resolution was adopted fixing the

ton Consul Saito stated that no spec
ial significance attached to his visit
In a way Idaho is a portion of my
territory as his majesty's consul at
the port of Tacoma" he explained
and 1 am now on what you may call
a tour of observation. 1 am, of course,
paying particular attention TO the in
terests of japanese subjects. but at the
same time am familiarizing myself
with this section of the great north
west"
The CONSUL added that he was not
investigating any particular case or
cases involving the interests of Japan
csc subjects in this state-was merely
in a general way inquiring into the
condition of the Japanese here. 1t is
learned, however, that Saito is here on
a very important mission and one af-
fecting every Japanese in Idaho, of
which there are a great many, but he
studiously sidetracked all reporters
fearing diVulgence of the nature OF
his mission might upset his plans
Saito is here to inaugurate a fight
against the anti-alien bill passed by
the Legislature, and to prevent, if pos
sible, the passage of proposed acts in
tending to give the new law additional

A PROLONGED DEBATE.
Anything But an Interesting Ses-
sion in the House.


sion in the House.
Washington, Feb. PA few weeks
ago the house was the scene of a pro-
longed debate, full of bitterness and
personal accusation, concerning the
Pacific railroads refunding bill. To-
day another opportunity for a display
of temper and recrimination on the
same subject was given in the consider
alton of a paragraph in the deficiency
bill appropriating 81, 800 900 to pay a
judgment of the court of claims in ia
vor of the Southern Pacific. but the
matter was considered in a rather digni-
fed manner, with merely suggestion
OF feeling.
Mr. Savers (Dem. Tex) led the OPP
position to the opinion, taking the
ground that the Southern Pacific con-
trolled the Central Pacific road and
should not be paid any money while
the latter stood so deeply indebted to
the government.
The house, in committee of the whole,
refused to strike out the paragraph in
question, and also refused to make
some minor amendments designed to
curtail the benefits conferred by the
bill on the Pacific railroads.
Later on, Mr.. Sayers endeavored TO
have the deficiency bill sent back to
the committee on appropriations, WIN
instructions to strike out the Pacific
railroad paragraphs, but was defeated
on yea and nay vote.
The deficiency bill was passed with
few changes in its provisions.
The appropriation of $4,000 to refund
to members sums deducted from their
salaries for absence was eliminated, as
were likewise items providing for the
payment of annual salaries to the spe-
cial employees.
Mr.. Boutelle, the chairman of the
naval committee, succeeded in getting
up the naval appropriation bill before
adjournment. and after he had ex-
planned its principal provisions con-
siderable progress in its reading was
made before the end of the days ses-
sion, which came atsEi20 o'clock.
No exercises-in eSlebration of Wash
ington's birthday took place in the
house.

Stone Introduces Resolution That
Will Worry Him.

Stone Introduces Resolution That
Will Worry Him.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Mr @. W.
Stone of Pennsylvania submitted to
the house today the report OF the com
mittee on weights, coinage and meas
ures, recommending the passage of the
bill providing for the appointment of
commissioners to represent the United
States at any monetary conference
which may be called hereafter.
Mr.. Stone referred briefly to the four
monetary conferences which have been
held, and says that since 1895 the leg
islatures of Great Britain, France and
Germany have declared in favor of
such a conference Continuing, he
said:
In the face of such explicit declara-
tons Of opinion by the legislative
branches of the three great monetary
powers of Europe, we cannot assume
that the governments of these coun-
tries would decline to join in a con-
ference, nor ought we to assume that
would misrepreSent or antagOniZe the
national sentiment indicated by the
expressions of the legislative repre-
sentatives Of the people.
The incoming executive has frankly
and unequivocally stated that the Re
publican party has declared in favor
of an International agreement, and if
elected president it will be my duty to
employ all proper means to promote it,
Your committee believes that the
executive should be aided in the per-
Torrance Of this duty by promptly
vesting in him full and explicit power
to use every appropriate means to
promote an International agreement
Your committee believes that the
American people intended and expect
that an earnest and bona fide effort
shall be made TO reach an international
agreement on the currency question;
and to enable the incoming executive
to- give effect to that intention and
meet that expectation, he should be
invested with full power, not simply
for three-fourths. or one-half, of his
term, but for every day and hour of il.
and it therefore recommends the
prompt passage of its bill before the
adjournment of this congress-
Mr. Stone will endeavor to have the
matter considered by the house at an
early date.

London. Feb. 22-The mission of
United States Senator Wolcott to
Europe. in the interest of bimetallism.
is the subject of a long article in the
Pail Mall Gazette today, in which the
paper says there is not a bit of evil
dence that Mckinley is in sympathy
with Mr.. Wolcott's mission, nor is
there the slightest indication that his
visit to Europe had even unofficial
sanction.
In conclusion the Gazette says:
Senator Wolcott came as a private
advocate of cause discredited by a
majority of his fellow countrymen.
Under such circumstances to expect he
would receive official support from the
foreign opponents in such a cause, re-
quired a degree of childlike simplicity
rare anywhere and which no one would
expect to find in Colorado. On his re-
turn, Senator Wolcott will find that the
newspapers alone will display any
anxiety regarding the result of his
personally conducted European tour.
Re has met many distinguished people
in England. France and Germany, but
in not one of these countries did he find
that bimetallism was considered neces-
sary to its welfare. Though the mis-
sion was absolutely fruitless, it was
quite as successful as it deserved to

then searched their clothes and broke

the Australian protests that he does
