D0INGS Of CONGRESS
Cuban Question Given Most
Consideration.

In the Senate on Tuesday, April IL, a
resolution was offered that the contem-
plated operations against the Spanish
armies in Cuba should be carried on in
concert with Gen. GomeZ'S forces. Other
resolutions were introduced on the Cuban
question.

An Intervention resolution was adopted
by vote of 322 to 10, after stormy session.
The resolution with the reports OF the
majority and minority of the Foreign Rela
tions Committee were presented. The text
of the majority resolution are given in
anoth r coluun. MIR. Adams asked unani-
nous consent for consideration. Mr..
Bailey reserved the right to object, saying
that whether he objected or not would de-
pend upon whether fair understanding
as TO the length of the debate could be
reached.
The eaker insisted if objection was to
be made it must be then. Mr.. Bailey
finally entered his objection. The Demo-
Gratis became uproarious in protest against
cutting of debate,

that the United States, by intervening
without recognition, would be responsible,
especially as 500, goo, 600 of the bonds are

MIR. Gray maintained that recog luon

not be expected that the United States,
after putting an end to the war, would
retire without influence and without voice

The House resolution relative to the
Cuban situation was reported to the Senate
and, on motion of MIR. Davis, was lad on
the table.
There was considerable discussion as to
cutting off debate and to voting at a
specific time. Finally the Senate ad-
journed until the next morning.
The Senate took up the Committee 8

MIR. Cullen, of Illinois, said that the
Maine disaster was an act of deliberate
and atrocious murder" The people
throughout the country were demanding
that that crime should be resented.

close of some glorious day, with the Stars

General Woodward.
New York. Dec, ,2i.--Prof. B. D. Wood
ward. the assistant commissioner general
for the United States to the Paris Exposi-
ton of 1900. was a passenger on the Ameri-
can liner st. Louis, which arrived this
morning. Prof. Woodward comes ON fly
ing visit to consult with Commissioner
General Peck on plans for the coming
year and to spend the holidays at home
He will leave for Chicago next week and
advise the head of the commission to the
end that the Paris Office may be managed
on lines which are in accord with the
work of the Chicago and New York Of
fees.
Prof Woodward said today: '.The United
States was generously treated SO far as
acceding to our requests for additional
exhibit space was concerned. for, it should
be remembered, the limits of the exposi-
tion grounds are fixed by infiexible boun-
daries-streets, avenues, boulevards. busi-
ness houses and private residences-and
are located in the center OF the city. 1t is
impossible to extend the grounds in order
to secure more space with which to sat-
isfy the demands of n foreign country.
Therefore the additional aEotments of
space made to the United States-after
the whole amount had been apportioned
out to the various nations of the earth
required more than an ordinary effort
upon the part of the French Exposition
authorities, and demonstrates their gener-
osity and good feeling toward this ma

RIGHT TO SELL DONATIONS.
A Peculiar Suit Against the Field
af.-. Columbian Museum.


Chicago Dec. IA question as to the
right of the Field Columbian Museum to
sell articles donated to it for purposes
of exhibition is the legal issue involved
in a case on hearing before Judge Chet-
lain and a jury in the Superior Court
The defendant, the Field Columbian Mu-
scum, maintains that it has the right to
sell or otherwise dispose of any donations
which 1t has received for exhibition pur-
poses without making any return to the
donor
The case is that of Nav & Co., of Lon
don. Eng, who. in 1894, sent mosaics and
cases valued at $4,000 to the museum as
a donation for exhibition. The greater
part of the exhibition. which could not
be utilized on account of want of space,
was stored and the English firm notified
that the goods were subject to their or
der. being safe, but without insurance.
Later a fire broke out in the warehouse
and the exhibits were somewhat soiIed
Finally the goods of Nav & Co.. together
with some other property of the Field Mu-
scum. were sold at auction for about 500
1t is claimed that the price was ridicu-
lously low. The plaintiffs, Nav & Co.,
aver that they donated the exhibit for ed
ucational purposes. and that the museum
had no right to sell the goods. They ask
the jury to award them SIS, COO
In defense the museum people maintain
that it Is. their right to exhibit articles do
noted for that purpose, or to sell them. as
they see fit
