CONGRESSIONAL.

March 6-The postofice appropriation
bill was before the House, but the debate
took wide range. Mr.. Cochran, Democrat
of Missouri, brought the Cuban question
up He declared that ose who stood close
to the stock tickers in London and
New York seemed to be more pow
erful than the united and solemn
voice of the American people, which
for months had been crying out for
the recognition of the Cuban belligerents.
Stock jobbing on two continents had so far
proved to be the only actual Intervention In
Cuban affairs. In the course of the debate
that followed Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio took
occasion to deny emphatically the stories
afioat to the effect that the President
desired an early adjour ument of Con-
gress in order that he might effect
settlement without Congressional In
reference. The subject of Hawaiian
annexation also came in for attention. Mr..
Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi Mr..
Adams, Republican, of Pennsylvania and
Mr.. Berry Democrat, of Kentucky, and
all me mbers of the foreign affairs commit
tee, made speeches on the subject, the
former in opposition and the Two latter IN
favor of the proposition
March 15.-The House agreed to consider
the bill for the relief of the legal heirs OF
the victims and survivors of the Maine dis
aster as soon as the postoffice appropria-
ton bill which was taken up In the House
to-day, Is out of the way. During the gen.
eral debate on the postoffice bill, members
eagerly took advantage of the latitude al
lowed in the committee of the whole on
the state of the Union to discuss various
political uestions and the debate accord
ingly covered wide range. Messrs. Griggs
Democrat, of Georgia, and Walker, ISpub-
lican, of Massachusetts, discussed the con-
dition of the cotton industry, and Mr.. Taw-
ney Republic an, of Minnesota, me Der OF
the ways and means committee, replied to
the speech of Mr.. Johnson, Republican, OF
Indiana, made some time ago against the
advisability of annexing the Hawaiian
islands.
After the passage of numerous bills from
the general calendar, the Senate began the
consideration of the measure providing for
a national system of quarantine. Little
beyond the reading OF the bill was accom-
plishei. Among the bills passed was one
for the relief of the Catholic church at
Macon City, Mo-, which was occupied by the
Federal troops during the civil war.
March IA During its session of three
hours, the Senate passed considerable
number of bills from the general alendar,
among the number being one authorizing
the construction of eight new revenue cut
tiers not exceeding in aggregate cost the
sum of 1925 900.

TO REORGANIZE THE ARMY
A Bill introduced Providing for the
"Three battalion" system.

WASHINGTON, March s.-Represen-
tative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
House committee on military affairs,
introduced bill yesterday reorganiz-
ing the line of the army. 1t is
a sweeping measure, making many
changes in the existing system.
The bill places the war footing OF
the army at 1884, men. The inten-
ton is to utilize the State guard, al
ready organized, for filing out the
skeleton regiments, thus putting the
army on a war footing at once. The
bill has been carefully gone over by
the War department, and Chairman
Hull will urge it vigorously.
The basis of the bill will be the well
known three battalion organizations.
That is the ideal peace status of the
army, but provision is made for the
exercise by the President ofafull

NEW CUBAN SCHEME.
Latest Proposition Is to Divide the
Island.

CnIcAGo, March ia special to
the Journal from Washington says:
THE latest plan is to divide Cuba.
Senator Proctor suggests that Cubans
take all they have won, Spain all she
holds.
1.-THE Cubans have possession OF
Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba.
The Spanish control the provinces of
Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas
and Santa Clara. 1t may be that
Spain may be coerced by diplomatic
means into giving up Puerto Principe
and Santiago de Cuba. retaining the
most fertile part of her dependency.
When peace is restored, as the United
States will insist that it must be, the
Cubans will possess all that they have
won and Spain all that she has sue
cessfully defended. 1t appears rea-
sonable solution of the perpleXing
situation that now prevails, and it is
expected to be satisfactory to Spain.
Senator Proctor in the cloak rooms
has been strenuously advocating this
scheme of partitioning Cuba, and
already it is finding some support.
whether it will be pleasing to the
insurgents is doubtful. They want
the entire island, but, under certain
circumstances, compromise might be
effected. If it is the President would
be happy. He would have stopped
the war in Cuba, given the insurgents
their independence, and have rem
dered it possible for Spain to capitu-
late without sacrificing all of her pre-
tentious hOnorp

WOMAN'S FATE.

rTOm Wo hcCOfui D"o""otVi ~
No woman is better able to speak to 9th
ers regarding "woman's fate" than Mrs
Jacob Weaver, of BUSHNELL ILL.,, wife Of ex'
city marshal Weaver. She had entirely
recovered from the illness which kept her
bedfast much of the time for five or six
years past, and says her recovery is due
to that well known remedy, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years.
She is of unquestioned veracity and unblem-
ished reputation. The story of her recov-
cry is interesting. She says:
