CUBAN RESOLUTIONS IN THE
 SENATE

Washington, March 31.--The Cuban question came up soon after the senate met to-day. MT. Mills, dem, of Texas, presented a concurrent resolution in- structing the committee on foreign re- lations to inquire what, if any obliga- tions the United States government had assumed towards the people of Cu- ba by preventing the acquisition of that island by any European power, and compelling the people of Cuba to re- main subject to Spain.
 Let it go over," remarked MT. Hale, rep, of Maine, and this objection sent the resolution over until tomorrow. MT. Morgan's Cuban resolution then came up. It calls on the president for copies of letters said to have been writ ten by General Maximo Gomez, the Gu ban commander, to President Mckinley and his predecessor, the letters being recited in detail.
 Mr. Hale suggested that the resolu- tion be broadened so as to include all letters written by General Gomez in- stead of these specific letters.
 MT. Morgan said he had not heard of any other letters from Gomez, but he was willing to include all that could be reached.
 Owing to the absence of Mr. Hoar, rep, of Massachusetts, who had taken some interest in the resolution, the matter finally went over. At 12:23 D. m, the senate went into ex- eclltive session

In My Friend from India" which Donrelly and Girard will present at the Hyperion theater this evening. one of of the most amusing and cleverest pieces of acting seen for some time is intro duced in the second act. It is perform ed by Edward Girard as "A. Keene Shaver" who is unwitttngly responsi- tle for all the complications in the piece, and he has dressed himself in a woman's costume. which. even to the feathers in the hat, is an excellent dup- licate of that worn by Miss Maude Granger-"Mrs. Beelman-Streete," His idea is to escape from too urgent hos pitality disguised as the lady whose makeup he has initiated so closely.
 The company to present the farce here is made up of players whose names

The exhibit was most artstlcally ar play of goods and for the harmony of color effects, the result being a beauti- full scene which was highly appreciat- ed by the hundreds of female visitors, Especially fine is the display in the mill linery departments on the second floor where about 300 hats are exhibited. There are hats of Parisian and domestic workmanship of the large and small sorts, all exquisite and dainty beyond comparison with the newest fashions in trimmings, including chiffon, violets, geraniums, roses and white aigrettes.
