BALKED BY REED
EFFORT MADE TO BRING UP CUBAN
QUESTION IN THE
HOUSE.
RESOLUTION RULED OUT.
THE SPEAKER SUSTAINED ON AP-
PEAL BY A STRICT PARTY
VOTE.
NO OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Roll Call showed the Absence of a
Quorum and Adjournment Was
Taken to- Monday.
o OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-There was
an attempt to bring forward the Cuban
question in the house today as soon as
the journal had been read. Mr.. Lewis
Dem, Wash.), shouted: "a question OF
privilege" and sent to the clerks desk
a resolution for the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans.
1.-The gentleman should state his
question: Mr. Dingley interposed.
This Mr. Lewis began to do, saying
that the senate had recently passed
such a resolution and that the house
should take it up. Mr.. Dingley made
the point that this was not a privileged
question, but Speaker Reed said moth
ing and Mr.. Lewis proceeded with a
parliamentary argument. He contend
ed that any question dealing with the
foreign relations of the government
was one of the highest privilege.
In support Of this position Mr.. Lewis
quoted Fox in the British parliament,
Henry Clay, in 1922, on the question Of
recognition of the Spanish republic and
a resolution relating to Hawaii, which
Mr.. Dingley had attempted to call up in
the second session of the Fifty-third
congress. against which Mr. McCreery
(Ky.) had attempted to make point of
order. It had been then reported, he
said, that the present speaker said
question of foreign relations was al
ways privileged question.
The speaker permitted the resolution
to be read. It follows:
Whereas, The United States senate as
sembled has duly by proper form OF res
olution declared for state OF neutrality, ac-
cording to the island Of Cuba all rights as
q belligerent as against Spain, and,
Whereas, 1t is asserted that such right OF
recognition exists only with the executive OF
the United States; therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the house OF representatives.
That, as a foreign policy Of the United States,
It is the right and authority of the senate
and house of representatives. in adopting a
foreign policy of the United States, to recog-
nize as congress, the belligerency OF and
declare the attitude Of neutrality of the
United States to the island of Cuba or any
other government or country when, IN the
sense OF the house, such course is demanded
by existing conditions.
The resolution having been read MT.
Reed promptly declared 1t out of Or
der. 'Such resolution can be intro
duced in the regular course ana can
he referred to a committee" he said.
"Does the speaker hold that the reso-
luton should be referred to some COM
mittee that Is yet to be appotnted!,
Mr. Lewis inquired.
Certainly replied Mr.. Reed tersely.

BURRIs CAN'T SEE WHY.
Refuses to Resign on Request-PrO-
tecfed hy Civil Service


tected by Civil Service.
When Revenue Agent M. V. Burris
strolled into his office yesterday enjoy
ing that contented feeling which attach
es to good job with life tenure he
hadn't the faintest idea Of the news in
store for him in an official commune
cation lying on the table.
When he opened it, he had ample
proof though he didn't say SO, that
President Mckinley is beginning to
yield to the pressure of the office seek
ing horde which has stormed against
the civil service rules.
The letter was from United States
Revenue Commissioner Forman and
called for Mr.. Burris' resignation in the
curtest of curt terms; no explanation;
no excuses; no charges-just simply a
demand for his resignation, to be
effective May 81
Mr.. Buris thought a while. He knew
that his Office had been placed under
civil service by President Cleveland; !;
he knew that he had been faithfully
performing the duties Of his office, and
he knew that Cleveland's order had not
been rescinded.
Therefore, Mr.. Burris wrote the COM
missioner a very pleasant little letter.
in which he indicated a desire to re-
main in the service, asked for the cause
of his discharge and politely refused
to resign ON the ground that he was
entitled to hold office under Cleveland S
civil service orders.
There is other evidence that the adj
ninistration is endeavoring to- force
office holders to resign, even though
they are in life tenure positions: There
are twenty special agents of the inter
nal revenue service, sixteen of whom
are Democrats, the other four. being

Levi M. Stewart, will have to be tried
again The jury was sent out We'd
nesday night, and Judge Elliott kept
them out twenty-four hours. They
failed to agree, and were discharged.
The case is the most historical in
Minnesota. 1t was first brought April

title to the property now known as the
Stewart homestead. There was a
mixed up title, on account of certain
foreclosures and notes, and the action
was brought to recover, by setting
aside a sale. For years, the case was
fought in preliminary skirmishes,
went to the supreme court, and only
arrived for the consideration of a jury

will make it some time before a YER
dict will be reached, and then it will
go to the supreme court again.
