WANT WILLIAMS HELP.
Spaniards are After the Kaiser's
Favor.

Berlin, March 20.-In spite Of denials
the queen regent Of Spain has repeat
eddy and strongly appealed to Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria to exert his
influence with the monarchs of Europe,
particularly with Emperor William, to
secure their efforts to restore amicable
relations between the United States
stress on the necessity Of maintaining
peace in Europe and securing an en-
tente of European monarchs against
the republican, aggressive America
and on the affinity OF her dynasty
with the Hapsburgs. 1t is understood
that Joseph, while replying to the
queen cautiously and corservatively
has actually written to William, en-
deavOring to elicit a reply pledgins
the latter to promise 10 tender his
good services in trying to maintain
peace. More recently Spain approach
ed Germany and Austria with a view
of obtaining assurances that they, in
the event Of war, would assist Spain
in some way or other. The Spanish
ambassador here, Senior Mendoz lie
Vigo. father-in-law Of Senior Mendoz Y
Bernabe, Spanish minister at Wash
ington. had a conference on Wednes-
day last with the minister of foreign
affairs, Baron Won Buelow, when the
latter assured him that while Germany
earnestly desired the maintenance of
peace, she certainly would not pledge
herself to anything but the strictest
neutrality. Spain is believed to have
received the same answer from
Vienna and Paris. Senior Sandoval
Spanish agent, has thus far failed in
his efforts to purchase torpedo boats
and other warships.

The time is coming very rapidly" said
Orosvenor, In conclusion. "it will be here,

ance Of the committee on foreign affairs,
this house will take action, and will sug-
eest to the gentlemen on the other side that

gree of unanimity of purpose. a degree of

gentleman when he looks over the votes
that will be taken here TOMORROW"
Meaning Not Yelled
Bailey, the Democratic leader, replied to
Gen. Grosvenor in a brief speech, which
aroused intense enthusiasm on the Demo-
cratic side 1t was somewhat remarkable,
he said, that the president, in sending to
congress one of the most important mes
sages upon one of the most exciting ques-
tions which had been before the country in
years had concluded with retommenda-
tion so. ambiguous that 1t could be the oc-
casion Of controversy. Other portions of
the message showed that the president
was a master of clear and lucid English,
yet, in presenting his recommendation, he
had done so in words that taxed the in
genuity Of the gentleman from Ohio to
make clear what he meant. If the presi-
dent meant the freedom and independence
of Cuba, why had he not said SO?
II do not believe" said Bailey, ':that the
president deliberately yelled his meaning,
and In saying that do him more credit
than others on this floor l believe If the
president had designed the establishment
Of free and Independent republic on the
island Of Cuba he would have said so. Why
did he say stable government? A stable
government and an Independent govern
ment are vastly different. No one doubts
that Canada possesses a stable govern
ment, but every Intelligent man knows it
Is not an Independent government / do
not doubt that Spain could establish a
stable government. 1t could make a des-
ert and call 1t peace. No one could deny"
continued Bailey. that the president had
asked for authority to send the army and
navy to Cuba to restore peace. When our
forces arrived, the Spanlards would say:
we are at peace; our arms are stacked
1t is the insurgents who are at war; Then
the agents of the president would b. COM
PEELED, under the authority he asks, to say
to the insurgents: Stack your arms; re-
tire to the fields where you have foi three
years struggled with fire and sword to at
tain your liberty
Bailey's Prophecy
Mark my words" said Bailey, IN con-
clusion, with uplifted arms and oninous
gesture, mo president that sends tn, army
and navy Of the United States to foNe the
patriotic soldiers of Cuba to lay down their
arms will live. nor will his children I've, to
survive the odium which the American
people will infict upon him." (Great ap-
plause upon the Democratic side andin the
galleries)
few minutes later the house, a $40,
adjourned.

Senators Agree on an Indepeadece
Resolution

Senators Agree on an Indepeadece
Resolution
WASHINGTON. April 12.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations reiumed
its sitting this morning. all the members
being present except Mr.. Daniel. The
committee Immediately took up tn, task
Of formulating a resolution defining Its
idea Of the course to be pursued Ii the
present complication with Spain. The
committee is hopeful of being able to re-
port today. but the report may be d,layed
80 as to afford an opportunity to hear
General Lee. The committee Is finding 1t
very difficult task to reach an agreement
on the terms of the resolution 1t Wal re-
port. There Is by no means the same
unanimity there was when the comnittee
first met and decided to report the For
aker resolutions. Many propositions have
been made covering all the lines ofpossi-
bic Intervention, but the indications at
the beginning of todays session wen that
there would be return to the conpro-
mise proposition which was made pior to
the receipt Of the message. Indeed, a
sufficient number of pledges had ther been
secured to render the adoption of this
course quite certain.
All the Republican members of the COM
mittee except Senator Foraker are under
stood to be willing to report on these Ines,
and 1t Is now believed that for the sake
of party harmony he may be induced to
Join his colleagues This compromise in
volved the elimination Of the seconl of
his declarations recognizing "the republic
OF Cuba as the true and lawful govern
ment Of that island" and the retention of
his first premise declaring that "the ,eo-
pie of the island of Cuba are and of right
ought to be free and Independent" 3,
The Ohio Senator has up to the present
time held out strenuously for both deaa-
rations. but the other Republican memhers
at their meeting yesterday argued the
necessity Of the concession in order to in
sure harmony in the party and to secure
form Of resolution which would meet The
approval of the Senate and be sure of
passage.
Senator Gray is the only Democratic Stn-
ator who now appears willing to join with
the Republicans In eliminating the recu-
uition Of the Cuban republic, but his va
added to the votes of the five Republicans
would be sufficient to secure the adoption

considerations of humanity. of interest

United Action
The burden of responsibility for the mex.
move in the Spanish crisis having been
shifted by the presidents message upon
the shoulders of congress, the capitol to-
day became the storm center. with the for
eign affairs committees Of the two houses
as the foci The struggle in each COM
mittee was long and bitter, with this
marked difference between that at the
senate and the house ends of the capitol: In
the senate committee the Democrats as
we'll as the Republicans participated,
while at the house end the task was to Sc
cure harmonious action among the Repub-
licans. so as to present, if possible, q solid
front when the Democrats were finally
called in for action.
Pressure from every quarter was brought
to bear. Radicals and conservatives strain
ed every nerve. The vital point Of the con-
test hinged upon whether the resolutions
should go further than the president had
gone and declare for the independence Of
Cuba from Spanish dominion. Tonight a
compromise proposition seems certain to
be reported at both ends of the capitol.
The senate committees resolution will be
the more radical of the two. 1t will surely
be reported tomorrow and will declare for
immediate Intervention, a general recog-
milton of the rights of the Cuban people
to freedom and independence and will de-
mand the withdrawal of the forces from
the island.
There is strong impression tonight that
the debate In the house will be made short
to prevent undue criticism Of the adminls-
tratiou. Many Of the Republicans are in
favor OF no debate at all, contending
that the passage of the resolution would
strengthen our position before the world.
In the senate it is impossible to predict how
long the debate will run. There is a gen.
eral feeling in Washington tonight among
public men that the action of congress as
foreshadowed in the resolutions renders
the situation as exteremly critical and con-
servative leaders of both parties consider
war inevitable as result Of their adop-
tion, unless Spain makes final and COM
plete surrender by giving up the island of
Cuba. The situation is regarded as so criti-
cal that the Republicans on the ways and
means committee, as a result of private
conferences have reached an agreement as
to the method of raising 500, ,O0O, 900 addi-

Ready for Business.

The Empire Mills which were pur-
chased last July by Messrs. j. p. and
G H. Felt, of the Emporium Milling
Co., are now ready for business. For
several months past a large force of
millwrights and carpenters have been
at work remodeling the entire plant
and making extensive improvements,
and the mills are now said to be the
most complete of any along the line of
the Erie railroad New and improved
has been put in. The Westinghouse
engine and boiler which formerly sup
piled the power have been taken out
and hundred horsepower gas engine,
manufactured by the Erie Gas Engine
Co., has been installed. This is more
than double the power which the mills
formerly used. A power shovel for
the quick unloading of grain from the
cars has also been put in. This is a
great labor saving machine. 1t un-
loads car of grain in about 20 minutes.
All the work has been personally sup
ervised by Mr.. J. P. Felt, who has had
large experience in the business.
The capacity OF the mills is now 10
carloads of grain per day and rs they
are advantageously situated on the
main line of the Erie railroad, with
excellent switching facilities, the pro-
prietors expect in a short time to work
up trade in ''milling in transit to
its full capacity. The mills will also
be the distributing agents for high
grade spring and winter wheat fiours.
Mr. John Sloane, who for Il number of
years has been in the grain business
and still continues in the same, will
have the management of the mills.
Mr.. Sloane has been a resident of
Olean for nearly 20 years and he is
well and favorably known to the trade.
The proprietors will not become resi-
dents of the city, devoting their
energies to their milling interests at
Emporium. The Times welcomes the
new enterprise and the gentlemen
composing the firm have our best
wishes for successful business. -

After a wedding breakfast at the

Senator Morgan to-day called up
his Nicaragua Canal bill, which
now has exclusive right of way in
the Senate until disposed of. He
says he will push it until it is pas
sed. There is no doubt of it's
passage as soon as a vote is reached.
This bill makes this government,
Nicaragua and Costa Rico, the
sole owners of the stock of the
Maritime Canal Company, which
holds d concession to build the
Canal, a majority Of the stock to
be held by this government, which
is to guarantee 500, 200, 900 in the
bonds of the Company, to be used
in the construction of the Canal,
with the exception of 50, 600, 900 to
be paid to the present stockholders
of the Company, for their conces
sion and to recOmpense them for
money they have already spent on
the Canal. The President alone
will have authority to issue these
bonds% and he may suspend their
issue at any time if he deems it
prudent to do so. There is a strong
lobby in Washington working
against this bill. both openly and
secretly. The secret work is the
most dangerous, because it is ap-
parently in the interest Of building
the Canal, and only against this
particular bill; in reality it is
against the building of the Canal.
