and referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations.
Senators and Representatives did not
hesitate to criticise the plan of the Presi-
dent to intervene. Many Congressman
think that the recommendations are too
mild. They favor armed intervention
but they want it to occur at once. The
message made converts to the radical ac-
ton proposed by Senator Foraker. Many
favored going further than his and want
ed to report IL declaration of war.
1T has been announced again and again
that the President had repeatedly de-
manded the independence of Cuba from
Spain, and it is pointed out that no refer
ence to this most important of all points
is made in the message. The Presi-
dents silence on this subject is construed
as an admission that he has not made that
demand, but has been discussing auton-
omy instead. The passage in the message
in which the Maine affair is considered is
the one most freely criticised None Of
the Congressman hesitated to express
their views on this phase of the matter
and not a few were very outspoken They
claimed that what the country demands
is reparation for the insult to the flag and
the murder of our citizens. They say
that this is the issue
Perhaps if the President had talked n
little more about the Independence of
Cuba the Congressman would have been
better satisfied with his recommendations
The conclusion of his message leaves the
future policy of the Government for them
to decide, and the President, after CON
Tossing that he has exhausted every eff
fort to relieve the intolerable condition of
affairs which is at our DOORS" adds "pre-
pared to execute every obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution and the law,
| await your action" Congress is at lib
erty to reject the message and the Presi-
dents recommendations and go as far as
it likes toward war

WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS.
A Remarkable Woman Is Mrs. MariIl
NJ. Kicker. of Dover. n. LII.

Mrs. Marilla NJ Kicker, lawyer, SUI
fragist and philanthropist of Dover, n.
H., has created 10 little excitement in po-
litical circles by her announcement that
she intends to run for Congress from her
district Although a woman without the
ballot and with no political pull except
ability and service in behalf of her party,
she nevertheless causes her political op-
roucnts no little worry. She is a strong
ad ersary and hard to beat in a fair con-
test. She is a statesman in every sense
of the word except that of sex, but she
fully expects that the day is not far dis
tant when sex will be no barrier to women
entering any field of activity for which
she is fitted and has inclination.
Twenty-six years ago her husband died
and left mis- wife with means 81 Efficient to
allow her to follow the legal bent of her
mind. She went to Washington, entered
n lawyers Office. and after close applica-
ton to the law for three years was ad-
mitted to the bar of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia. She was the
only woman of a class Of nineteen who
applied for admission to the bar. She has
since been admitted TO the United States
Supreme Court, and is also member of
the bar of Utah, and since 1880 has been
United States commissioner and an ex-
aminer in the chaneery in the District Of
Columbia.
