EVIDENCE OF WEAKENING.
House Committee Preparing to Yield
to the President.

House Committee Preparing to Yield
to the President.
Washington, April 1.-THE admins
tration resolution which empowers the
president, in connection with the reso-
luton in his message TO take such ac-
ton as viii terminate hostilities in
Cuba, and establish a stable govern
ment, and authorizing him to intervene
with the army and 7 Wy of the Unit
ed States as may be Il -cessary to bring
about this result has the outspoken
support of three members, Messrs.
QuiSg, Adams and Cousins, and the
tentative support of Mr.. Henry Of In
diana
There are evidences of weakening
among some of the others. and at one
time today it looked as if all of them
could be united upon proposition
with the exception of Mr. Smith of
Michigan. From present indications it
seems entirely improbable that the
Republicans viii be able to agree be-
fore the full committee meets tomor-
row, in which event il is likely that
the Republicans will filibuster to pre-
vent action. Those who have declined
up to this time to agree to the propo-
sitionS advanced by the administration
members still hope that they may all
he able to unite, and they desire to ex-
haust every effort in this direction be-
fore considering the question of join
ing with the Democrats. This could
only come as a last resort. Tonight il
seems almost certain that no resolution
viii be presented to the house tomor-
row for action.
CAUCUS LAST NIGHT.
= caucus of the Republican members
OF the house foreign affairs committee
was held tonight at the residence of
Representative Gillet of Kansas.
Though the session was continued till
late hour, no definite conclusion was
reached, but it was stated that the
members felt that they had better
understanding of the situation, and
probably would be able to report to-
morrow.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.
a Few Points That Should Not Be
Overlooked Tomorrow.

In all this discussion about tomor-
rows Republican primaries and we
trust there are no hard feelings on the
subject, it is well to bear in mind a
few plain, unadulterated facts:
First, that Mr.. Seaton's county gave
Congressman Curtis assistance
whatever and cut no figure in his nom
ination.
Second, that Congressman Curtis is
not asking the people of Shawnee coun-
ty to elect Seaton delegates. So far as
known, he has not expressed himself
for or against Seaton in the governor
fight and it is ridiculous on the part of
the morning paper to take this position
on the alleged basis that Charley Cur
tbs has some debt to pay in the county
of Atchison and that this debt should
be paid by Shawnee county by sending
a delegation of 81 for John Seaton for
governor.
Third, 1t should be remembered that
there are other candidates for governor
and that Topeka is not solid for any
one of them, particularly, Mr.. Seaton.
Fourth, We have no favorite sons;
why shouldn't we smile the favorite
sons of others. The engagement of
Miss Shawnee and Mr.. John Seaton has
not yet appeared in the society columns
and there are good reasons why it
should not appear.
Fifth, The time for talking is about
over, voting begins tomorrow at 2.

POLLING PLACES.
Voting Will Begin at 2 O'Clock at
Designated Places.

The polls will be opened tomorrow
promptly at o'clock in the afternoon
and will close at in the evening. None
but known Republicans will be entitled
to vote and there will be challengers to
prevent Democrats or Populists from
voting.
Following are the locations of the
polling places in the city with the
names of the supervisors:

ruse to be swallowed by voters. An
other example of this has developed in
the Fourth ward where they placed the
name of A. H. Merrill on the Seaton
delegation. Mr.. Merrill was not con-
suited and said today: 81 shall not at
tend the convention if am elected and
I did not authorize the use of my
name"
In the Second ward it is claimed that
there are two Democrats on the Sea-
ton delegation but pains Will be taken
to prevent these men from voting I'M
less they can furnish clearance papers.
The easy air of confidence which
characterized the Seaton forces has
given place to one of fear. That has
been growing upon them.
John T. CLANCY, one of the anti-Sea-
ton workers furnished the following
representation today: ''Seaton will
have 40 votes in the county convention
against 140 for the opposition. I feel
confident of the result. Seaton will car
ny Rossville, Menoken, Richland ana
Linn Creek in the country. We VIII
carry the First, Third, Fourth and Firth
wards and we have a fighting chance
in the Second"
The Seaton managers put on poIo
air and claim everything. Some OF them
say that they will carry every Ward IN
the city and most of the townships IN
the county, but it is not difficult to see
that they are not in earnest, but tneJ
are talking to keep up their courage.

FROM JUDGE HORTON.
He Still Thinks Shawnee Indebted to
the Atchison Candidate.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
In your issue of last evening, you
published that I was mistaken in say
ing to a newspaper reporter that three
counties of the First congressional dis
trict had instructed their delegates for
John Seaton for Governor. You adj
nit that he has AtchiSon county.
cite the following publications in sup
port of my statement:
The State Journal of March Goth, last,
stated: "Broderick is shrewd. Jack
son county practically instructs for Sea-
ton to catch the Atchison congressional
delegates An in an article in your
paper of that date, it is also stated that
jackson county has made the first bid
for Atchison county's delegation to the
congressional convention, by declaring
in the county convention held Tuesday
confidence in and friendship for John
Seatons candidacy for governor.
The Leavenworth Times of April 9Th,
last published the following:
John Seaton was practically IN
dorsed by unanimous vote at the city
prima ries last evening. His name was
on most of the tickets, and the voters
are heartily in his favor. LeaVenworth
Republicans have expressed themselves
clearly for John Seaton for governor OF
Kansas.
IF Atchison county, the home Of ex-
Senator Ingalls,, and Jackson county,
the home of Congressman Broder1ck ana
Leavenworth city, the home of Senator
Baker, practically instructed their dele
gates for John Seaton, why should not
the home of Congressman Curtis emulate
their example? Yours truly,
ALBERT H. HORTON.
May %, 1893.
TThe State Journal still falls to see
that this communication bears out
Judge Horizons flat-footed statement in
the Capital that jackson, LeaVenWorth
and Atchison counties have instructed
their delegates to vote for Seaton.
The fact remains that Atchison coun-
ty is the only county which has in
structed it's delegates to vote for Sea-
ton. To be sure the Jackson county
people said nice things about Seaton,
but they were careful not to definitely
instruct their delegates or to bind them
to vote for SeatOn. The Jackson coun-
ty convention indeed did declare their

AT A STANDSTILL.
Cabinet Decides to Wait For
News of the Spanish Fleet.

Washington, May 27.-At the close of
the cabinet meeting today it was
authoritatively stated that although
the government had no official informa-
ton on the subject, there was no rea-
sonable doubt that Admiral Cervera's
fleet was in Santiago harbor and that
Commodore Schley was on guard at the
entrance. Although the information
upon which this belief is based, is re-
garded as entirely trustworthy, the
government will make no important
move or change it's plans in the alb
sence of the direct confirmation from
official sources. 1t was also stated that
any contemplated movement against
Cuba or Porto Rico would be held i'll
allegiance until the Spanish fleet either
was destroyed or otherwise rendered
helpless to seriously interfere with our
plans in any direction.
