States. The senatorial callers fully
appreciated the seriousness of the con-
ditions attending either of the sugges-
tions offered, but they invariably came
back to the point that intervention
seems to be the surest and most en-
pbatic way of disposing of the greatly
tangled and complicated problem.
The horrors of probable war we're also
considered, and the vast expense to
the American people was also reviewed
with great seriousness. 1t twas Senator
Allison who remarked that he feared
the president would need another
5O,OOO,OOO, and probably great deal
more before the end is reached.
The president was evidently distur-
bed by the frank and straightforward
statements of the senatorial visitors,
and he expressed the hope that the
problem might be adjusted without
recourse to active Intervention. he
said he was proud of the fact that the
representatives of the people in both
houses of congress are giving the
administration such loyal and substan-
tial support, and he expressed the
hope that no act of the executive
would excite political antagonism or
prevent united action in carrying out
whatever line of policy may be adopt
ed for the benefit Of the entire country.
The rules of the senate were re-
ferred to and the question was raised
whether there would be any attempt
to force q discussion of the general
question in advance of request for
action by the executive. In other
words, the president proposes that
congress shall shall have ample op-
portunity to discuss the whole subject
from every standpoint, and take such
action as it may deem wise and proper
under the circumstances. 1t is his
earnest desire, however, that we shall
have right on our side, and not indulge
in any premature act which might in
terfere with the wisest and most judi
cious adjustment Of the difficulty.
The president understands that the
rules of the senate permit the greatest
freedom of debate; but it is not be-
lieved that there is any disposition on
the part of any senator to hamper or
in any way embarrass the administra-
tion in trying 10 put an end to the dis
tressing conditions now existing in
Cuba. By taking the representatives
of both branches of congress into his
confidence the president has played a
strong and popular hand. His con-
gressional experience taught him that
the members of the senate and house
do not resent being called upon by the
executive for advice and counsel in

presidents message to congress will
not be submitted until next week, as
the report of the court of inquiry is
not expected to reach Washington be-
fore Thursday. The president is not
disposed "to get congress Oft his
hands," On the contrary, he proposes
TO maintain the most friendly and con-
fidential relations with both houses of
congress, so that in dealing with the
pending complications with Spain the
executive and legislative branches OF
the the government will work together

Senator Allison and Senator German
are two of the most conservative men
in the senate, and they WELD pow
erful influence over their associates.
They were invited to the White House
for the purpose of fully informing them
of the policy of the administration in
dealing with this subject, and to in
woke the cooperation of the senate in
considering the question with due de.
liberation. The conference lasted
nearly an hour, during which the sub
|iect was discussed from every con-
ceivable standpoint. The president
indicated very clearly that he appre-
ciates the gravity of the situation, and
is anxious to secure the united support
of both the house and the senate, as
we'll as the country generally in any
step that he may be required to take
in seeking an honorable adjustment of

Beryl, who was sitting by Lola, felt
her tremble and her muscles stiffen for
an instant, while she bit her lip hard.
II think, MIR. Borderham, that this
matter had better stand over for day

he then described what he had done and
said that he would, of course, be re-
sponsible for Lola's surrendering when.
ever the inspector desired.
The latter listened deferentially, but
at the close he shook his head slowly.
II am afraid that it is now too late, "
he said gravely. "It is very painful to

The PRESIDENTS POLICY.

Keeping In Elbow Touch With Both Houses
Of Congress.
Special to News and Courier:
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Another
interesting and significant conference
took place at the White House today.
Upon the invitation of the president,
Senators Allison, of Iowa, and Cor
man, of Maryland, recognized leaders
of the two great parties in the senate,
called at the executive mansion imme-
diately after the adjournment of the
cabinet meeting, it having been deter
mined at the cabinet meeting that the

of more than one resolution to that
effect, there was very strong senti-
ment in that body in favor of inter-
vention. One of the senatorial con-
ferees remarked that he feared the
case had gone beyond the point where
any practical results could be derived
from the recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence. He went on to say that

toned to the unraveling of such mys-
teries, and had asked them to come
down at once and bring all the skilled
help that was needed, and so on through
all his plans.
The telling Of this was relief to
them all. 1t enabled them to avoid those
sides of the subject which were SO op-
pressively sorrowful, and, moreover, it
fed the fame of hope.
Zone thing is certain, however, he
said in conclusion. "There must be a
delay, at all events until the London
lawyers have been down and looked
into things. 1t must be SO, Lola, and l
must find a means Of getting Borderham
to wait for a. few days at any rate"
