CARNEGIE IN JAPAN.
He VIII Build The First Steel House
in The k~Inn<{u

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-The Carnegie
Steel company has captured the contract
for the first fire proof steel building ever
erected In the Empire of Japan. While
the amount of the contract is compara-
lively a small matter, the Importance
lies In the fact that q new field has
been opened for the output OF Amcri-
can steel mills. Tamasuki Yokokavavi,
japanese engineer and architect, arrived
In Pittsburg to-day to consult with the
Carnegie conlpany'a engineers concern
Ing details. The building is to cover an
Immense area, but owing to the pre-
valence Of earthquakes in Japan, will
be but four stories high. It will be 16OX
235 feet and is being built by Matsu e
Co. OF Toxic. for office and mercantile
purposes. About 1,500 tons Of steel will
enter into the structure. This will be
shipped by way OF New York, the first
shipment TO be loaded at New York on
September ]. The material will all be
prepared here ready for erection, no
Workmen being sent to Japan.
The structure is to be ornamented In
lavish manner, and will form one of the
striking features OF Toxic from Japa-
nese standpoint

HOAR FOR SPAIN.
Mr.. Hoar repea ted his opinion that the
resolution should go to the Committee
on Foreign Relations, as should all re-
solutions affecting the delicate foreign
relations OF the government. It was an
a!front to nation With which the Unit
ed States was at peace, to declare that
whereas 1t Is rumored that that nation
IS about TO commit an atrOcity, we de-
size TO protest against that atrocity."
Such resolution adopted by an Euro
pean country about The conduct OF the
United States would, Mr.. Holr said,
"set our whole peop.e aflame and right
fully. I do not think that the cause OF
liberty in Cuba, or of humane conduct
OF the conflict there Is promoted by that
kind Of preceding. If, instead OF as
serting our power and influence as. a
great liberty loving country. we had
ac:ed according to The usagcs OF coun-
tries in relation to each other, and not
prodded and goaded Spain by absolute
lyn futile and inaffect:ve resolutions. the
only effect of which was to get COM
mendatlon for somebody from some
newsp, per a home, IL would have been
much better for the cause OF Cuba

and the other house OF Congress have

Of freedom In Cuba. l object Ia the

THE GOMEZ LETTERS.
The resolution offered by AIR. Morgan
last Tuesday In rela lion to the letters
from General Gomez 10 Presidents Nc
kinley and Cleveland, was taken up
and agreed to.
So likewise was the resolution offered
Yesterday by Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, in
ssruct!ng the Committee on Foreign Re
lations to inquire what, If any, obllga-
tions the United States have assumed
towards the people of Cuba by asserting
and maintaining the right 10 prevent
the acquisition of that island by any
European power and compelling Its peo-
pie to remain subject TO the dominion Of
Spain.
The Cuban question was again brought
up by Mr.. Morgan, who introduced n
joint resolution declaring that cond:-
ton Of public war exists between the
government OF Spain and the govern
ment esta bl!shed and maintained by
force Of arms by the peop'e Of Cuba
and that the United States VIII main,a IN
n state OF neutrality between the con-
tending powers. according to each and
all the rights Of belligerents IN the port :
and territory Of the United States.
Mr.. Morgan said that he did not wish
to have the joint resolution referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations,
and that he would ask the Senate TO
take action on It Tomorrow. It differ
ed from the resolution adopted by the
Senate year ago. inasmuch as that
was concurrent while this was a joint
resolution, in which Congress would e..-
ercse its legis' ative functions
The Senate then. at y. M, went into
executive session on the arbitrat ton
treaty, and at 5:l5 adjourned until Mon
