executive might refuse to bring any in
ternational controversy to the attention Of
the senate for its cooperation unless the
clause should be modified in some such
manner as his amendment and provision.
Under this contention the North Caro-.
lima senator called attention to the claim
set up by Mr.. Cleveland in the Cuban
question that the power of recognition
rested exclusively with the executive de-
partment. He warned the senate against
leaving any openings for contentious of
this kind.
Senator Chandler said he was opposed
to asking the senate to agree to date
for voting today. He called attention to-
the Associated Press dispatches regarding
the situation in Crete, and that he did
not feel it proper to enter into negotia
tons with any power whose guns were
trained on any Christians struggling to
throw off the yoke of the Mussulmans.
He also spoke on England's conduct
towards the Beers of the Transvaal as
deserving of condemnation and a cause
for hesitation in the present negotiations
He said he would probably in the end
vote for the treaty, but he was not in
the mood TO vote for it today.
Senator Hale ridiculed this view as SEN
| timental. He said that England's rela-
| tions with other powers had nothing to
| do with the relations of the United States
and England, and said it was often nee
essary for nations to adopt policies that
would noa suit every mans views and
conform with our ideas of what was
proper and right
| The senate then adjourned until Mon
| day.

CONGRESSIONAL CALLERS.

Washington, April 1.-The congression-
al callers at the White House today have
been unusrally large. During the con-
sideration of the tariff bill the members
have had little opportunity to visit the
president, and today they took advan-
tage of their first opportunity.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas and number of
democrats were among the callers.
All the republican members of the ways.
and means committee, with the excep-
ton of Chairman Dingley, paid their re-
spects. The president will give compli-
mentary dinner at the White House to-
morrow in their honor.
One of the things developed by the visit
of delegation today was that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had practically decided to appoint
DIR. w. w. Thomas of Maine as minis
ter to Norway and Sweden. DR.. Thomas
was minister to the Swedish court under
President Harrison.
Senator Perkins of California and Sen.
ator Proctor of Vermont, accompanied
by Col. John s. Mosby, the famous con-
| federate guerilla, saw the president In

| sion.

CUBAN QUESTION REVIVED
TRODUCED IN THE SENATE
YESTERDAY.
70 Be AMBASSADOR 70 germany
Name OF Andrew ID. White OF new
York Sent to the Senate-Wm. f.
Draper for Ambassador
to Italy.

Washington, April 1.-The Cuban ques-
ton was revived in the senate today
after long period of comparative calm.
Three distinctive Cuban resolutions were
brought forward in rapid succession. The
last and most important one came from
Senator Morgan of Alabama. 1t declared
that a state of war exists in Cuba and
announces the policy of the United States
to accord both parties to the conflict full
recognition as belligerents. Mr.. Morgan
gave notice that he would call up the
resolution at the next session of the SEN
ate with the expectation of securing final
action.
Of the other resolutions two were
agreed to. One of them, by Mr.. Morgan,
calls on the president for the letter of
Gen. Gomez himself. The other, by Mr..
Mills of Texas, instructs the committee
on foreign affairs to report what obliga-
tons the United States has assumed by
compelling Cuba to remain subject to
Spain. Both resolutions were passed
without opposition. The other resolution
came from Mr.. Allen of Nebraska and
proposed a protest against the reported
purpose of the Spanish authorities to try
| Gen. Ruiz Rivera, the Cuban officer, by
military drumhead court martial. The
resolution went over to come up with the
resolution for Cuban belligerency at the
next session..
| The senate adjourned until Monday.

A SURPLUS FOR MARCH.

Washington, April 1.-The monthly
statement of receipts and disbursements
for March show receipts $36,217, 1853
and the disbursements $27 81, 997, leav--
ing surplus for the month of $1,000, 665-.
This excess is due almost entirely to in
creased receipts from customs. During.
March, 1896, there was a deficit of about
~, 100000.
The total receipts during the last mimi
months were $242, 7S5,O5l, and the ex--
penditures $2S1, 690,33 leaving the def
cit for that period $3S,905, PSI. The re-
ccipts from customs during March
amounted to $22 ,S33,SJ6 as compared
with $13,3H,215 for March, 1896.
The receipts from internal revenue in
creased about S275,000 over March of
last year.

QUESTION of that island by any European
power and compelling it's people to re-
main subject to the domination of Spain,
and to report by bill or otherwise"
Mr.. Morgan came forward with ;pe-
cial climax to the Cuban resolutions. He
presented joint resolution recognizing
state of war in Cuba, as follows:
Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives, That there exists state
OF war between the government of Spain
and the government proclaimed and
maintained by the representatives of the
people of Cuba, and that the United
States shall maintain n strict neutrality
between the contending powers, accord
ing to each all the rights of bcligerents
in the ports and territory of the United
States"
The resolution was read several times
at the request of senators, who appeared
to be greatly interested in it. The reso-
luton remained on the table, at Mr.. Nor
gan's request
After this brief but lively session the
senate, az l 10. went into executive SEES
sion, and at 5:15 adjourned until Mon
day.

demanded Ramsay,s Release.

Washington, April 1.-The state depart.
ment is in active correspondence by mail
and cable with United States Minister
Mackenzie at Lima, Peru, respecting the
case of the American sailor Ramsay, ar
rested four months ago at Callao as the
result of street brawl and who has just
been sentenced to years Imprisonment
for disorderly conduct. The state de-
partment has demanded the release of
the man, holding that under the treaty he
should have been tried or released within
ten days after arrest. The demand, how
ever, does not inhibit the Peruvian au,,
thorities from rearresting Ramsay and
trying him under the forms of law and
treaty for the offense, the purpose of the
demand being solely to cause the recog-
milton of the treaty provision mentioned.
