Record cannot show where any of
those twenty one senator's ever voted for
the resolution.
1T is a principle which TO man can
dispute that a conference committee has
no jurisdiction over anything except as
to the differences as to the two houses.
and in this case those differences affect
ed only the first section of the resolution,
Therefore when the conference commit
tee reported they could not report any
thing beyond their jurisdiction. They
simply attempted TO compose the differ
ences between the two houses
Mr.. Fairbanks-Is not a vote for the
conference committees report a vote for
the resolution?
Mr. Bacon-Certainly not.
Mr.. Chandler wanted to know if it was
the conference report did so in order, if
possible, 10 get the House to recede and
accept the stronger position of the Sen
ate
AIR. Bacon answered that of course the
purpose was to get the House to recede.
The argument here became very heated
between MIR. Spooner and Mr.. Bacon The
former claimed that if his side had not
won The resolution would not have been
adopted, and Mr.. Bacon retorted that if
the conference report had not been agreed
to the resolution would have carried with
it the recognition of Cuba.
Mr.. Hale here insinuated that the DEM
ocrats in the House had voted opposite
ly from those in the Senate.
Mr.. Bacon went into this question in
some detail to show that the proposition
as presented to the House necessitated
yea vote TO accomplish the same end
that a nay vote accomplished in the Sen
ate.
The People Know.
Mr.. Teller declared that there was not
the slightest doubt in the minds of the
/ people IN regard to who were the friends
of Cuba on this question.
| Mr.. CockrelI, who had been yielding the
floor to senators for this discussion, here
! insisted that he be allowed to continue
| his remarks.
He dwelt at considerable length on the
message of the President. and compared
its requests with the resolution adopted,
| showing that Congress had secured a
greater advantage for the Cubans than
was promised by a compliance with the
executive document.
He declared that he did not think Mr..
Mckinley was father of the sentiment
that had been expressed on the floor OF
the Senate during the debate on the pass
age of the resolution, that it was discour-
ly the suggestions of the Executive.
He reviewed Mr.. McKinley's career as a
member Of the House, and showed that
he had opposed the policy outlined by the
Republican President then in the chair
on several occasions, and had voted to
pass measures over his head One of
these was the Stanley Matthews resolu-
ton and another the Bland-Allison coin
age act.
Il think the President may well ex-
claim" declared Mr.. CockrelI. -" Save me
from my friends !"

to state today that the firm of Moore

be strong recommendation to the aver

leader of speculation, and the new deal

bought the stock are confident that they

al meeting on May II to put in their own

incorporated in Missouri is the first step.
The Liggett & Myers Co. has not COM
mitted itself yet to the proposition to

The New York Supreme Court has de-
cIared unconstitutional the law passed at
Albany under which the presidents of
the anthracite coal roads were summoned
to give testimony on which the attorney
general might be able to base suit
against them for Illegal combination. No
other decision should have been expected,
though the right of ten decision
is still very much q matter of question.
However. Wall Street will be inclined to
find bull argument in this stamp of dis
approval of the court to an attempt of
the people to limit the power of corpora

news announcements after the fashion of
others of her "perfesh. For some days
she had sold very little in consequence,
and the capital she had each morning
invested in papers seemed in u fair way
TO be lost, when Irish Pat, the tough.
est boy in the gang, had taken her to
his heart and shown her the mistake
which spoiled her sales.
"Yer don't know nothin, yer don't, "
he had said contemptuously, striding
along by her side with an exaggerated
imitation of the walk Of the last actor
he had admired from the peanut heav-
en-" Of the Academy and keeping level
with her as she dejeotedly started
homeward, crying softly and wiping
the tears away with her ragged but
clean handkerchief
Eyer too bloomin scared" he said,
again copying the Academy actor, both
in speech aud gesticulation, IAN yer'll
never do no good till yer makes yer roar
more like better feller than yerself.
He paused and looked at Maggie ex-
pectantly, but Maggie had no idea that
the "better feller' was Pat himself,
and she never dreamed that the pause
should have been filled with compli-
ment, well deserved, in Pats opinion,
so she said nothing, and the boy took
up his parable again.

rang down the street for block or
more.
Maggie soon found this TO be true. if
she was TO equal the sales of the other
paper sellers. But still, as has been
said, her conscience rebelled against the
deceit. So she decided with one of the
compromises possible only TO innocent
souls upon inventing a cry about an
event which could not possibly HAPPEN.

BRAVE. LITTLE
DORR|OBOOLA CHA.


1t wasn't so very happy to begin
with. Christmas eve was little dreary.
Maggie only hummed carol because
it was more her way to sing than to
cry, and the carol was the only thing
she could think of just then. 1t was
the first carol she had ever learned. She
could remember just how sweet her
mother had looked while teaching it to
her aud Jimmie, the brother, who
would keep his seventh Christmas to-
morrow-keep it in heaven. she thought,
with gleam Of sorrowful joy. The
dear mother who was in the hospital
now, whose Christmas would be spent
in whitewashed ward, clean, bright
and tender, with kindly care, but still
not so bright as the little attic room
would have been il only she could have
been there. Maggie's song grew very
queer at this point of her reflections
and her voice was trihe unsteady, but
she persisted in humming lit came

smiled a little a. she laid down the
cheap little doll she had been dressing
for Sweetie, the dear little sister who
was her darling and who was now
being cared for by kind friends of her
mothers youth.
In another moment she was dashing
down newspaper alley at full speed, ell
bowling her way trifle more gently
than the average habitue of that far
famed locality, but pushing to the front
with dogged resolution none the less,
and no sooner had tho bunch Of papers
which came in answer TO her warcry of
"Twenty-five specials-throw 'em

Maggie, with shade Of sadness darken-

hasty, smile, "she was delighted TO SEQ

mournfully. her lip quivcring with a

carriage again, and she did not speak
again until the horses drew up at Mrs.

out. She sprang up the stairs and rang
the bell, and then--then the world re-
sumed its normal colOriDg, and her doll
was once more worth loving, for Sweetie
