Washington, April 14.-For more
than six hours the senate had the
resolution proposed by the committee
on foreign relations under considera-
ton. The speeches delivered dis
closed no irreconcilable differences
among those who spoke. All are in
favor of action in some form by the
government Of the United States. The
most radical difference was whether
the resolutions should recognize the
independence Of the Cuban republic
or simply declare for armed interven-
ton with a view to the ultimate
freedom and independence of the Gu
ban people. After endeavoring to
agree to a time for vote upon the
resolutions, the senate finally amid
much confusion agreed by vote of
80 to % to adjourn until morning.
Washington April 14.-The session
Of the house was dull and absolutely
devoid of interest, the galleries and
floor being almost deserted. During
the afternoon several bills Of minor
Importance were passed. The most
important measure passed was the
Curtis bill, for the relief of the resi-
dents of Indian Territory. 1t provides
for the settlement of questions in

The simplest, cheapest, most ef
fective and convenient method Of
settling the question OF Government
advertising is to ask for a tender of
bids, as is done in other civilized
communities. This removes the
matter from political favoritism and
proves economical to the Govern
ment. Tenders should be awarded
to one morning, one evening and
one weekly paper in English, and
the necessary number in Hawaiian
Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese
when circumstances require adver-
tising in such languages. Those in
terested in governmental matters
would then know which papers to
regard as authorities for official ad-
vertising.

While THE INDEPENDENT sympa-
thizes with the Electric Light Com
pany in its sore distress awaiting
Hoffman and his material and his
miracles of progress to be eventu-
ated, nevertheless it must commiser-
ate with the patrons who receive
big bills for inadequate service; and
the funny part OF it is the worse the
service the bigger the bills. If the
company acted honorably, and wise
ly in the face of probable opposition,
they would cut their bills in accord
ance with the amount OF the elec
tric light cloth they furnish The
case of the Waverley Club is GER
tainly one to the point, where the
bill for light furnished was increas-
ed five times in a month in which
the amount Of light furnished was
below the average. The trouble ap-
pears to be that the people seem to
be afraid of the threats of the mon
opolies. A little stalwart kicking
might have beneficial effect upon
even the soullOss dividend paying
corporations.
