Morgan Resolution Must Pass the
House Before it Can Reach

Washington, May 21-President Nc

must be decided hereafter. 1t is known
that Mr. Mckinley desires the post
pOnement of final congressional action
on the Cuban question until the report
of Mr.. Calhoun, who is on the island to
investigate conditions there, has been
made.
Mr.. Hit, the Republican leader in
the house, said guardedly to the debate
yesterday that the adoption of the Nor
gan resolution at this time might en-
dent has in mind to secure the indie
pendence of Cuba, and although Mr.
Hit especially diSclaimed that he spoke
by authority, it was we'll known that
he had been in consultation with the
president on Cuban affairs and his ut
terance was taken as a reflection of the
wish of the executive. The senate res
Olution can be brought before the house
only by a special rule and Speaker Reed
is known to be opposed to it's adoption
at this time.
There may be much pressure brought
to bear by the Republicans who think

by the house, but so long as the leaders
consider that 1t may eLnbarrass Presi-

Of the Jail life of Sugar Trust Broker
Chapman, MI. Ingalls, says:
Nm the old, barbarOuS days, if
common, plain, plug citizen violated the
laws and was convicted and sentenced
to imprisonment, he was hustled into
the Black Maria with a policeman on
the step and turned over to the jailer
with unfeeling and inhuman lack of
ceremony. But here, when a man sus-
pected of corrupting legislation defies
cess of law, the execution of the SEN
tence is deferred till the delinquent has
expressed his readiness to endure the
penalty. Obsequious attendants receive
him upon his arrival in the city as
distinguished guest. He is consulted
about the hour when he prefers to have
his incarcera ton begin. A diagram of
the prison is submitted to him that he

pared by a great chef for the selection
of Viands and beverages to solace his

RAPTISTS ON CUBA.
They Resolve That Mckinley is All
Right on the Cuban Question.

Pittsburg, May 21.-Just before the
Baptist assembly adjourned the com
mfttee on the substitute resolution rec
commended the following, which was
passed unanimously:
Resolved, That we have observed with
profound admiration and sympathy the
valiant struggle of the neigh boring peo-
pie of Cuba against appalling odds for
relief from the bondage of Spain; and
it is our ferVent hope that there may
be a speedy termination of the war
which does exist, and the freedom of
our brave neighbors from their pitiless
Oppressor.
Resolved, That the government of the
United States has a special duty to-
ward the people of this continent but
in the attempt to discharge that duty
there should be on the part of our gov
eminent no COntraVentiOn of solemn
contracts, international law or the
principles of justice. We have conf
dence that the executive head of the
government which is no less courage
and sympathetic than ourselves,
and much better informed, will do
whatever is requisite to meet the de-
mands that the present situation in
Cuba may make upon our friendship
and our honor.
Resolved, That we strongly approve
of the steps recently taken by the pres
ident to ascertain the facts in the re-
ported cases of infringements by Span
iSh authorities of the rights of Amer1-
can citizens resident in Cuba; and if
real demand shall be found to exist for
the signal vindication, we shall hail
with vigorous satisfaction whatever
vigorous measures he may adopt to
that end.
In the afternoon the American Bap-
list Historical society held its forty
fifth annual election. The society elect
e dthe following officers:
President, Lemuel Moss; first vice
president, W. T Chase; second vice
president, Samuel Colgate; secretary.
B. McMacldn; treasurer, B. E. Lincoln.

MR.. sUrroN's SPEECH,

Mr. S. c. Sutton made the following
address last evening on being elected
president of the Queen Victoria Jubilee
association of Topeka at the Commercial
club rooms:
From the Evening Journal it would
appear that some of our fellow citizens

such narrow-minded people in this broad

of those present are, like myself, natur-

we owe our livelihood and particularly

DENYER'S FESTIVAL.
Merchants Contribute Literally in
Subscriptions.

Denver, May 21.-The subscription
committees of the Festival of Mountain
and Plain made their first round
among the business houses of the city
yesterday with very gratifying results,
though the rain was somewhat of a
drawback One committee, and that
by no means the most important, Sc
cured $4,000 as the result of an hours
work. The most encouraging sign to
the committee is the general feeling of
good will exhibited on every side and
the cheerfulness with which the sub
scription list was signed, the subscrib-
ers regarding the festival a move in
the interest of the business public
So far there has been no reduction of
the subscriptions of last year, and many
of the subscriptions have been very ma
terially increased All the business
men called upon seem to be inspired
with the desire to make the festival of
this year the greatest demons tratton
that has ever taken place in Denver.
The Festival of Mountain and Plain is
the business mans enterprise and moth
ing will be allowed to dampen his ar
dor in that respect. Subscriptions are
given unhesitatingly, not because the
solicitor is a personal friend or infiuen-
tiaI acquaintance, but solely on account
of the festival itself and its aims and
purposes.

EDIS0N,S FORECAST.
The Wizard Declares That the Horse
Will Soon Be Practically IN
known on CITY Streets,

New York. May 21.-The wizard of
West Orange, sometimes known as
Thomas A. Edison. is out in a state
ment pregnant with social revolution.
He predicts that at an early date au-
tomobiles or motor cycles will be on
the market at prices no higher than
those now paid for the more expensive
bicycles. "A serviceabIe light vehicle,
to carry two or even four people" he
says, can be made very much after
the principle of the tricycle., at cost
of from 500 to $125''
Only one phase of the Importance of
this announcement is touched when he
adds: Il expect the horse to disap-
pear almost entirely, so far as it's use
for street traction is concerned" Elec-
tricity, he says, will be the power
adopted, and one of the big firms is
already at work on cheap vehicles.
Besides his announcement that cheap
automobiles are an early probability,
the wizards prophecy that wheels now
selling for 800 must soon have their
prices cut in half, with a corresponding
reduction in the less expensive grades,
sinks into comparative insignificance
though that, in itself, would make a
vast difference in the habits OF the
people.
