CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Hopes that House Will at Once Accept the
Cuban Resolution.

I WASHINGTON, April IA majority OF
/ the Senate viii give very little attention
! To any other subject until the CUban
question is finally disposed OF in Congress.
| that ho0N having acted upon the rcsolu-
! tions of independence and intervention,
me question IS now properly before it,
| but there is such intense interest that
senators will continue to give it their in
! dlVidual agreement with the HOUSE is
secured. The supporters of the Senate
form of expression are very hopeful that
| public sentiment Will compel the House
to accept the Senate declaration. but they
know that the influential conservative
element is against them and they realize
that they may hc disappointed in the ac-
ton OF the House. In that event they are
prepared 10 stand out against a surrender
on the part of the Senate
How long this determination will holl
good remains to be developed. but the adj
Nocatc% ~ the recognition Of Cuban iit-
dependence refuse to be convinced that
any other course than its recognition is
tcnabie. They decline to even discuss the
lines of any compromise short of the Sen
atc's action ON this point Whether they
would hold to this If they should find the
House equally determined is not sure in
view OF The pressure for action. sun
many Of the most radical pro- Cubans say
that unsui'icicnt action is no better than
no action at all.
On tn" other hand. there is an element
in til" Senate of respectable proportions
which faVors the House resolutions over
those OF the Senate ana whose influence
Will be constantly cNcrtcd in the Scnat.
against that b0dy's own declaration. The
outSpoken senators who held this view
are the y who voted against the rcSolu-
tons as amended and there are probably
4 dozen more who voted for the decara-
tion as q whole who are not heartily faN-
orablc to it and who would not be great
~ dlSdppointed over finding an onpor
tunty to modify the Senates position.
Thus it is while the sentiment in the
Senate is not Yet sufficiently crystallizc1
to justify positive prediction there is
f1rI .fn N n
an interesting situation if the House
should fail TO endorse the Senate's action.
Aside from the Cuban question the Sen
ate probably will devote itself largely
during The week to the appropriation bills.
Tho sundry civil bill has been only par
TALLY considered and the naval bill is on
the calendar awaiting action.
There are many disputed points in both
bills

DANIEL SULLY
 IN JUNGLE BOB"

There was the usual big Sabbath audi ence in the California Theater last night but the piece presented was quite differ ent from the usual Sunday farce-comedy comic drama of the Irish-American or der, written and played by Daniel Sully. The story of the play was told in yester- days Call. The title part shows MT Sully as a kindly, self-sacrihcing middle aged member of the G. A. R., and fits well the quiet humor and semi-pathos of this actor. The strain of the plot Is relieved by musical interpolations the best of which are two ragtime character songs sung by Miss Jennie Lissenden. The com pany is adequate to the responsibilities of the piece, and the audience last night was judging by its applause-very much sat isfied with the play.
