washington, Sept. 1.-The president
h,s entire official family are ex-
ted in washington in time Tor a CAP
-, n,oeting next Tuesday The presi-
% expected at the White House
|fudov or early Monday. While the
auestion of patronage will occupy much
- tbo presidents time Immediately aft
s,s return there are a number Of big
s,,h,c questions which will receive
,nt attention. Politics will enter
largely into the discussions or the hrst
Ahiret meeting. The advisability or
'-soor,tarv sherman entering the Ohio
oor,noien. and what he shall say on the
c,,han question in case he decides to go
on the stump will come up for immedi-
o,s consideration. Secretary sherman.
:, is understood. has delayed his deci-
!, a,or in the matter until he can confer
Nth the president
MAY sneak for Mark Hanna.
He had partly accepted an invitation
60 make several speeches in the interest
% senator Hannas reelection, and had
even gone so far as to prepare the data
Cor his speeches. A question having
arisen. however as to the propriety or
the premier Of the administration enter
~ the state campaign and discussing
International as well as domestic affairs,
the secretary has preferred to wait for
the views Of the president and the rest
Of the cabinet before definitely announc-
ing his decision. 1t has been generally
understood that the president would in
some way officially make known his
Cuban policy before the coming election,
} bm lust how this is to be done has not
vet developed 1t is said at the state de-
partment that Minister WCodfCrd's in
structors would not officially be made
public from this end of the lire unless
the Spanish government. after replying,
should express a wish to have the cor
respondence given TO the press.
No Crisis Looked FOR Now.
= II Is not the intention Of the depart
ment to publish the note of Spain until
a reply has been received, and as this
may be delayed for some weeks, and
perhaps for several months, the presi-
dents Cuban policy will figure rather
inconsplcuously in the forthcoming cam
paign, if there is not some public declar-
<tion, either by a speech from Secretary
; sherman or through a statement from
A 90
said that he saw no prospects of an i'm
mediate crisis in the Cuban affair, and
he saw no danger of a clash with Spain
before congress meets, unless the Mad
rid authorities should reject in an un-
friendly spirit the tender OF good offices
ghich Minister Woodford is about to
= make. Upon SPANS reply, he said,
would depend the future course Of the
president, and this might develop until
the time came for him to write his an
nual message to congress. Another i'm
portant measure which will doubtless
be discussed at the first cabinet meeting
Is the construction to be put upon Sec
ALTON p Of the Dingley tariff bill relating
FNo the 10 per cent. discriminating duty.
Not Ready Before Monday.
lHouSh the attorney general denied
that he proposed to hold back his de-
cislon on this section so as to have the
benefit Of the advice Of the entire cabi-
net IN its preparation, ii is now stated
mat the opinion will probably not be
}eady before Monday, and it would be
quite natural if the attorney general
should hold it over for another day and
mat 1t should be the subject Of discus
sion at the meeting Of the cabinet Tues
uay' whether the opinion has been pre-
Wously announced or not it will proba-
oV De talked about at the cabinet meet
Ing, Tor this administration has not been
p.aled upon to act in matter Of such
iar-reaching Importance as is the de-
termination Of the construction to be
paced upon this section. 1t brings up
.ne question as to what will be the pol
ICY OF the administration toward the
estauon for a discriminating duty law,
Whlch the party was pledged to in its
platform but which many Republicans
Hohtend would be disastrous in the end
