BRIEF CABINET MEETING.
Detail of the Cuban Distribution
Not Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, May 18-The meet
ing Of the cabinet today. was brief and
unimportant. The president and his
advisers expressed mutual satisfaction
over the prompt response the senate
had made to the Cuban message yes
terday. Mr.. Mckinley. received many
congratulatory telegramsi this morning.
The method of the distribution of the
food supplies to be purchased for the
relief of the suffering Americans In
Cuba, was not discussed at the meet
ing, as that is considered purely as
matter Of detail. Two methods have
through the consuls and through the.
agency of the Red Cross. The former
method seems to be considered more
favorably, but the details probably will
be left to the. discretion of the Secre"
tary Of state, as the distribution Of re,
lief to the Mississippi flood sufferers
was to the secretary Of war. 1t seems
likely that the supplies, If purchased
here, will be shipped by a specially
chartered steamer. This course would
serve the double purpose of conveying
the supplies to the ports Of Cuba, and
also of enabling the Americans whe
desire voluntarily to return to this
country to be brought back with little
gestion that Consul General Lee be
allowed to draw on the fund, and buy
supplies in Havana, but as prices there
are very high now, it is not probable
this will be done, except, perhaps, TO
a very limited extent. 1t is stated, on
the authority Of a cabinet officer that
there is no necessity of sending a war
ship with the supplies. and that moth
ing Of the sort is contemplated.

ROADS HANGING OFF.
Slow to Join the New Western
Passenger Association.


Passenger Association.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-It seems unlike
ly that the Western Passenger asso-
citation will secure the membership it
desires to have by the 1st of June. The
executive committee has labored un-
ceasingly to get the roads into the
association, but, despite all of it's work,
there are several of the roads that
have not yet become members, and
there seems to be no Immediate pros
pect of their doing so. The Canadian
Pacific Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific have not joined the association.
The Wisconsin Central is also stu
standing out, but is expected to join
as soon as the Canadian Pacific sets
the example, which will bring siffto line
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. II o.
The agreement of the freight men
entered into last week for the preseI-
walton of rates, is not preserving them
to the extent that is considered de-
sirable by the association. The lum-
Der rates from Wisconsin points to
the Mississippi river, which were In
a state of decentralization when the
agreement was formed, are still in the
same condition, and there seems to be
no immediate chance for their better
ment. In various other parts of the
territory rates are .demoralized and
nobody seems to be making any effort
to re-establish them on the old basis.
1t Is likely the executive officers will
hold another meeting in the, near
future for the purpose Of considering
the advisability Of attaching a penalty
clause to the agreement as they have
about concluded that the agreement
will not be effective unless they have
something to hold over the offenders.

CALvE AT MINNEAPOLIS.
She Sang Before a Crowd of Ire
meDd0us Size.

neDdous Size.
The Northwester festival closed last night
in a blaze of glory and there were upward of
5000 persons to enjoy their fill of such music
as is too seldom vouchsafed. One of the old
time crowds resorted to the Exposition until
the auditorium was sea Of faces and varigat-
ed blossoms. Above, below, on either side,
there were no vacant spaces except for a
few chairs in the extreme corners f1anktng
the stage. 1t was an audience to delight the
plaudit-loving soul Of even singer of Calve' S
prominence, and its size and body was not
unmarked. behind the sombre draperies that
held from view the queen of song. 1t was an
immense gathering, expectant, animated cons
-cious. For it's hearing was offered a rich
feast, and those who have been signing for
music need sigh no longer, If they were Of
the happy number who found themselves In
that vast auditorium and sat beneath the
spell SO easily exerted by those who sang.
The programme was succession Of delights
for the aesthetic sense and brought to the
least intelligent a knowledge of the range Of
emotions, which one may experience who sits
at the feet of the divine muse, accepting
great draughts of the proffered nectar. 1t
was a superb concert in every respect, and
personality who planned and carried through
so gigantic an undertaking for the edif1ca-
tion of a people that is not ungrateful, how
ever feeble its expression Of gratitude.
An old man, whose name could not be learn

secluded spot, and then covered him with a
revolver and demanded his money, after secur-
