THE SITUATION At MADRID
NUMEROUS CONFERENCES BEING
HELD, BUT NO NEW PREMIER
YET ANNOUNCED.
WEYLER'S REMOVAL ALMOST CERTAIN
rives in Madrid,-Sagnstn, the Lib
eral Leader, Had N Conference
With the Queen Regent.

Madrid, June 4.-The queen regent con-
ferred with the president of the senate.
The latter, after the conference, said that
he had pointed out to her majesty that
continuance Of Senior Canovas del Cas-
tillo would constitute the best solution
of the crisis. This opinion is shared by
the president of the chamber of deputies,
Senior f. G. Pidal, who is to have con-
ference with the queen regent today.
Marshal Martinez de Campos is on his
way to Madrid. But as he is not iden-
titled with any party he is not concerned
in the crisis from political standpoint.
He will give his attention to other ques-
tions, especially to that relating to the
Cuban question.
Senior Francis Silvala, the leader of
the dissenting conservatives in the cham
Der, is among the politicians who have
been summoned to the palace
The Heraldo understands that the pro-
posed Paris branch of the Bank of Spain
will not be established, the negotiations
ON that subject having fallen through.
Every one is convinced that the main
question at issue in the present crisis
is the selection of new governor of
Cuba, capable of convincing the people
that Spain is in earnest in the matter
or colonial reforms. The crisis is likely
to be prolonged, but there is signiti-
cant change of tone visible in the cOnser-
vative papers, which are beginning to
hint that the future fate of the conserva-
tive party is not altogether dependent
upon Capt. Weyler.
The impression gains ground that
rather than see the liberals in Office the
conservatives would consent to recall
Weyler, and it is believed Marshal Marti-
nez de Campos is willing to replace him
| 1t is understood that he informed the
queen regent that if the liberals came
into office through the refusal to coun.
tenance foreign dictation, the recall OF
| Weyler would be among the first steps
taken. The queen regent is expected tt
consult Marshals Blanco and DOmin
guez tomorrow on the military aspects
of the situation in Cuba, and there il
great anxiety to learn the results of the
long conference between her majesty ant
Marshal Campos.

to these countries, to discuss monetary
questions and come to some agreement
on bimetallism. President Faure cor
daily avoided making statement to
them at the audience which he accorded
to the commissioners at Elysee palace
on Wednesday last, which might be in
terpreted as n promise to take any steps
in the matter. When the commissioners
left the palace he invited them to share
his box at the race of the Grand Prix de
Paris. No doubt the government of
France is friendly to the American mis-
sion, but nothing tangible will be done be-
yond expressions of sympathy and the
assurance that the matter will be serious
ly studied.

BURROWS FOR FINANCE.
A Movement to Put the Micigan Man
in Sherman's Committee Place.

There is a movement on foot, looking
to the appointment of Senator Burrows to
the vacancy in the Committee on Finance,
which will be occasioned by the resigna-
ton Of Senator Sherman, to accept the
State portfolio in President McKinley's
Cabinet.
For many years Senator Burrows served
on the Ways and Means Committee OF the
House, and there became familiar with all
questions relating to tariff and finance
which naturally came before the Senate
committee. No other present member of
thesenate has enjoyed such experience, and
in view OF the fact that tile Michigan
Senator Will begin his third Congress in the
upper House, with the extra session to be
summoned next spring. Senatorial prece-
dent viii not prevent his appointment TO
this most responsible position.
Those who are urging the appointment
call attention to the fact that with Sena-
tor Sberman's retirement there will be no
Republican representative OF the middle
West on the committee. Senator Platt
represents the extreme East, and there
Will then be gap extending as far as
Iowa, which is represented by Senator
Allison. The logic of the situation seems
to point to Senator Burrows, and his
friends are exerting themselves to advance
him.
