END OF CONGRESS- PATIENCE


 ground for a belief that it will not be regarded with favor by the United States Diplomats, however, think that if a common understanding was reached by the great powers of Flu rope, such suggestions as these great powers would make could not be lightly set aside. The general view of diplo- mats is that the movement is not so much one toward reconciling the United States and Spain as it is to preserve the peace of the world by combined action.
 THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
 Spain's policy in this matter is one of urging on the European powers that if Cuba was free from Spanish sovereignty the next move under the Monroe doctrine would be to bring an end to European control over other West Indian possessions. Great Britain, France and Denmark have in terests in that locality. In other quar- ters it was stated that the influence of the powers was more likely to be as- serted on Spain, urging her to the largest possible measure of conces- sion.
 Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, made a short call on Judge Day. It is understood that it did not relate to the Cuban question, as the ambassador has not received instructions concerning mediation or any other course of action. M The beaud, the first secretary of the French embassy, also called at the state de- partment and had a talk with Judge Day on subjects other than the Cuban question. -
 An arrangement was reached during the day by which the United States and France will cooperate through their ministers with Denmark for the es- tablishing of European cable with the Danish island of St. Thomas. The cable is owned by a French company, but its use has become of vital import ance to the United States as a basis of operations in the Leeward islands. Secretary Long was particularly de- sirous of having this cable arrange ment effected. As result of the con- ference, a message was sent to the United States minister at Copenhagen asking him to scure the consent of the Danish government, and the French authorities arranged to have their minister at Copenhagen exert similar influences.
 THE MOMENTOUS MORROW.
 Wait for Wednesday" was passed about the capitol today and a general understanding to that effect was reached. The Republicans will not initiate and the democrats will not try to force any action on Cuba until Wednesday, when the presidents mas sage will be received. With that un- derstanding the senate foreign rela- tions committee took no action It is understood that the senate committee has agreed upon a resolution, practi- cally the Foraker resolution, declaring independence and intervention, with an amendment fixing the responsibility for the Maine disaster upon Spain, either by design or criminal negli- gence.
 The house foreign affairs committee will report if possible a resolution in line with the presidents recommends tion and it is known that offers are being made to have the resolutions of both committees agree with the presi- dents wishes. The conference of re- publican members of the house was adjourned until Il o'clock Wednesday by the committee in order to await the message. Both houses discussed the Cuban situation today, but it was simply preliminary to a more import ant debate. Interesting statements are made by senators and representa- lives who called upon the president today, and the impression gained from them was that the message will de- clare for the independence of Cuba.
 With the exception of the purchase of ten steamships for auxiliary cruisers today was devoid of developments in the military and navy departments of the government
