HAS NO HOPE OF LEGISLATION
Mr. De Arnond Says the Repu hlicans
VIII Not Help to Free Cuba

The interest in the Mason and Can
non resolutions in the Senate was wide
spread in the House. A great many
Representatives in fact. found the Sen
ate the place of more interest than the
House and repaired there to hear dis
cussion of the Cuban resolutions
Mr.. De Almond said that while it was
the great desire of the patriotic ele-
ments in both Houses to take up the
Cuban war and settle it so far as it
can be settled by legislation, it was
impossible, except by the most extra
ordinary methods. He believed, how
ever that a success might be made of
such methods
Mr.. De Almond referred to the Cuban
belligerency resolution which passed
the Senate in May, and which was still
buried in the Committee on Foreign At
fairs. He does not think that that
committee will report on that resolu-
tion before the adjournment of Con-
gress. AS TO the report in the case of
the killing of Col. Ruiz. he believed it
will remain indefinitely before the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. In
other words. Mr.. De Almond believes
that the policy of Speaker Reed and
those in control of Republican senti-
ment in the House is to bury or other
wise suppress everything that comes
from the Senate looking to interfer-
ence by this country in Cuban Spanish
affairs.
The only justification they have for
this line of action is that they will
not allow the Democrats to break
through the rules of the House. and
thus have themselves put before the
country in the attitude of having
policy forced on them by the Demo-
Gratis. In order to keep free from this
invasion by the Democrats the Speaker
proposes to rule out debate. and the
Foreign Affairs Committee proposes to
pigeonhole every resolution that is re-
ferred to it.
Mr.. De Almond, who has given the
Cuban matter great deal of attention
said that it will be absolutely impos-
sible for the friends of Cuba in the Sem
ale to get an amendment on enc of
the appropriation bills. and thus get a
square vote on it in the House. This.
he said, is the view of perhaps a ma
jority of the friends of the patriots in
the House. He thinks, however. that
such public discussions as will be had
in the Senate, and whenever there is
an opportunity, in the House will be of
great effect in finally molding legis-

A SLUMP In THE MARKET
Most Discouraging Day for Some
Time for Bulls.
The CubaIA Situation Having Its
Logical IDfluence-No Sign OF
Change of Sentiment.

New York, Feb. S.-Particular deveI-
opments affecting stocks were few to-
day. An advance in sterling exchange
was the most important feature of the
general situation, but bankers con-
sidered it as Of no significance as re-
CARDS the chances for an export move
ment Of gold. In ordinary years-in
those in which the foreign exchange
market is in more normal shape-sight
sterling at this period is expected To
rule fully 2la per cent in the pound
above the current quotations and gold
shipments would be expected. The ad-
vance in foreign exchange was not an
influence in the stock market. which
was dominated by the local apprehen-
sions respecting the possibility of
rupture with Spain as result of the
activity of the pro-Cuban Senators.
In the forenoon eighteen banking
houses were extensive purchasers of
stocks, taking fully $1,000 shares of va
riouS issues.
The market was even then, however.
despite this circumstance, irregular
and rather heavy. Metropolitan Street
Railway continued its advance, and
Pullman Palace Car, Northwestern and
Omaha showed comparative strength.
In the general market, however, the
realizing of profits and the aggressive
selling by room-traders caused more or
less extensive declines. The active
features of the market We're Atchison,
the Changers, New York Central,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Manhattan. Interests active in the
market showed little dispos tion to sup
port prices but the covering of short
contracts caused sporadic rallies in the
last hour.
The closing was generally lower than
the opening. The bond market was
strong and active.
