Washington. March 1.-THE nos.
Office appropriation bill, which was
technically the subject before I'll
| house, was almost lost track of i'll
| the debate which took a wide ranga
! For the first time the Cuban SpanisbI
question which has been kept in m. n
| background heretofore, forged 70 IN n
front. Mr.. Cochran (dem.. Mo II
brought the question into the arena
and in the course of the debate tina Il
followed Mr.. Grosvenor (rep.. O n
| took occasion to deny emphaticallvi
the stories afioat to the effect that tina
president desired an early adiournIl
ment OF congress in order that hsl
might effect a settlement without con-
gressional interference. The subiectj
of Hawaiian annexation also cam.j
in for some attention Messrs wind
Jams (dem., Miss. }, Adams (rep., Pa n
and Berry dem, Ky.), all members
of the foreign affairs committee.
! made Speeches on the subject, the frsI
in opposition and the two latter in3
favor of the proposition.
Washington, March 17-SenatoS
Proctor (rep., VT, who returned lasS
Sunday from an extended trip through
the island of Cuba, made a statement
in the senate of his observations Cd
the island. From many view-point}
| the statement was remarkable 1t had
evidently been most carefully pred
pared. Every element of SENSATIONAL
ism had been studiously eliminated
from it and, except so far as the factj
recited were sensational, it bore moi
the slightest effort to arouse the pub}
lie mind, already keenly alive to thS
condition of Affairs on the island. On3
of the best characterization Of th4
statement was made by Senator Fry4
(rep., Me-, a few minutes after I'D
delivery. 1t Is" said he, Just as
Proctor had held UP his night
hand and sworn to it," That was thd
impression the statement made upod
| the senate. On the whole the speech
while not urging any particular ac}
ton can only be understood as fayor1
ing Intervention.
Washington March 17.-No political
questions were discussed in the house
The whole session was devoted strictly
to the postoffice bill which was taken
up for amendment under the FIVE mini
ute rule. The questions which conf
sumed the major portion OF the timd
related to the allowance for clerk hira
at postoffices and to rural free deliyl
cry. The house increased the alow1
ance for rural free delivery from $50 1
600 to 100000 and defeated the propo1
sition for increased clerk hire
Mr.. Hull (rep., la, chairman of thd
house committee on military affairsl
introduced a bill reorganizing th3
army. The Bill is the result of agi1
tation for plain and simple organi1
cation measure that has been in prod
gress for a long period. The bid
has already been considered by thd
subcommittee of military affairs
committee and it is unanimously
agreed that it should be introduced
and its passage pressed.
