Hartford Courant urging business men to
exert their influence in behalf of peace;
to employ their power to prevail upon
Congress to leave the settlement of the
Cuban question with the President to the
end that he may avert war.
The other was the publication in The
Evening Times showing that at the insti-
CATION of the President. kilograms were
being sent broadcast over the country ad-
vising citizens to protest against any in
reference on the part of Congress with
the President.
These two incidents were so closely
allied that one confirmed the other. 1t
was made manifest that the President
has resorted to unusual means to seek
support for his policy of peace.
There are some Republicans in the
House who are not willing to sacrifice the
national honor to considerations of party
expediency and the indications are that
some of them will make themselves heard
tomorrow.
IL VIII BE an Historic Day.
Tomorrow will be day of excitement
and, perhaps, of historic events, at the
Capitol. The officials having charge of
the great structure on the hill are making
preparations for one OF the greatest
crowds that ever thronged its corridors,
floors and galleries. Extra details of
policemen and messengers are to be sta
toned at the reserve galleries and stair
ways to keep the crowd in order.
The impression exists generally that
Congress will take up the Cuban question
Monday with a determination to force it
to an issue. There is no doubt that the
subject will be considered In some shape.
and hence the eager desire of the people
to get where they can hear the alien
crossing topic of war discussed.
The congressional galleries have offered
greater attractions during the past week
than any of the establishments of amuse-
ment in the city. Interest in the threatened
war is by no means confined TO the sterner
sex. who must fight the battles of the
country. The ladies manifest special in
terest in the congressional debates And
| in their desire to hear the statesmen of

| the ladies have shown an enterprise that

galleries of the House and the Senate.
They have been putting in an early ap-
| pearance at the Capitol, getting there
even before the doors of the galleries We're
| opened This early attendance compelled
| them to sit for several hours waiting for
the opening of proceedings To while
away the tedium of this enforced wait
many of the ladies who are unwilling to
miss a single day from Congress now take
novels and magazines along with them.
When secure in their seats these books
are brought forth from convenient reti
cules and the thrilling experience of he
roes and heroines in tales of love and Of
war are devoured until Congress offer!

CHAIRMAN HULL TALKS.
He Has No Doubt the Army VIII BE
Immediately Increased.

The House end of the Capitol was un-
usually quiet yesterday. The rotund
speaker had abdicated for day. He did
not even put in an appearance No com
mittees were in session. In fact. business
was entirely suspended. Here and there

Chairman Hull of the House Committee
on Military Affairs drove to the Capitol
after having had an interview with the
President He was followed by his com
mittee room by a representative of The
Times and asked for the
news as developed at the White
House. Mr.. Hull said he inform
ed the President yesterday that
he intended to call up the Army reorgani-
zation bill next Monday and put it on its
passage. Mr.. Hull told the President that
there was not the slightest doubt OF the
passage of the bill. as there is no oppo-
sition to il whatever
This bill authorizes the President in
time of war after Congress shall have
declared war, TO increase the Army 10 a

officers. This is to be done by filing up
the regiments and battaliOns, which are
kept in a skeleton state in time of peace.
Chairman Hull, after his visit to the
White House, was asked il he expected
a message from the President next Mon
day.
Il have no doubt whatever" he replied
that next week will see the elimination
of the whole thing. I would not ike to
say that it will come by Monday but
think it will not be delayed beyond Tues
day..
Are we to have war2" was asked
Il don see how war is TO be avoided =
replied Mr.. Hull. II think it is now inevf-
table.
Mr.. Hull has been one of the most out
spoken Republican in Congress in favor
of prompt and decisive Intervention in
Cuba. He did not care to give any details
of the Presidents purpose, but said his
message would be complete, cOmprehen-
sive, and satisfactory He said the Pres
ident would set forth the legal status OF
the contention with Spain in plain unHlis-
taxable terms
1t was said about the House end of the
Capitol yesterday that the President
would not be prepared to communicates
with Congress before Tuesday. but that

The Republicans who We're on the floor
all declared that they felt some
disappointment at the delays that have
arisen in the Presidents plans; that they
would much rather hear from him on
Monday While some of them talked
of insisting upon going ahead on
Monday without waiting longer for the
President the tenor OF the talk indicat-
ed that the twenty-four hours grace
will be allowed
Up TO the afternoon the President had

enormous I have seen the peculiar
ripple caused by herring shoals ex-
tending over the surface Of the sea
as far as the eye could reach, and
fishermen tell me they are actually
increasing, Notwithstanding the ter
rible slaughter by seals and black
fish which not only eats fish, but
catches seals, and when wounded will

"But it is the salmon runs that ex-
cite the greatest wonder. These fish
go up the rivers in the spring and
early summer to spawn, and some
times in the shallower parts of a
stream are so thick that they actually
climb over each other, and the Indians
and others secure all they want with
clubs and pitchforks When they
encounter perpendicular fall they
leap to an astonishing height and
millions are killed by falling back to
the water and rocks. Only the strong

points on tn streams, and they are
generally so battered up that when
they are caught on their return they
are not considered fit for food by the

the wonderful extent of the salmon
fisheries may be obtained from the
Columbia to the Yukon. including a
coast line of more than 1000 miles.
