THE VISIT NOT SIGNIFICANT.
The Conference with the President
This Morning.


This Morning.
A Star reporter saw Secretary Long at
the Navy Department this afternoon after
he and Judge Day had concluded their
conference with the President. In answer
to an inquiry as to the occasion of the
conference. Secretary Long said it had no
special significance.
I He explained that the President was go
ing away. and had summoned him to the
White House to learn the latest news from
Havana. There was nothing much to tell
him. the Secretary said. inasmuch as there
have been no material developments since
Saturday.
Court Of Inquiry at Havana.
The principal item of news from Havana
today was a brief telegram from Capt.
Sigsbee. announcing the arrival there OF
the light house tender Mangrove, with the
members Of the court of inquiry and the
divers and their apparatus for examining
the wreck Of the Maine.
Secretary Longs attention was called to
the newspaper reports that divers had
found that the forw ard magazine Of the
Maine Is still intact. He said that he had
no such information. and added that it was
strange II Capt Sigsbee was aware of 1t
that he had not thought 1t necessary to in
form the department. In his opinion the
report was unfounded.

THE ALLEN RESOLUTION.
Its Adoption by the Senate Has No
Significance.

AtS AOOptlOh ny the senate HAS NO
Significance.
The word Immediate" is stricken from
the Allen resolution, and the provision for
bringing bodies home is left out Of the ap-
preparation resolution.
Mr.. Mason was not present, and there
was no discussion of consequence.
The adoption Of the Allen resolution has
no Significance. 1t does not mean that
there will be an investigation at an early
time. On the contrary. this action by the
Senate simply brushes the matter aside for
the time being.
There will probably be no effort made to
begin the investigation until after the naval
investigation has been concluded. 1t will
then probably be unnecessary for Congress
to make an investigation, and in that event
there would be merely q formal report
There Is q united effort in Congress to pre-
serve the policy of reserve until the naval
board has had time to report.

TO PREVENT AGITATION.
Policy of the House Leaders ON the

1t was stated today that 1t will be the
policy of the House leaders to prevent, as
tar as possible. any agitation of matters re-
lating to Cuba or the Maine disaster in the
immediate future. Pending the result of
the official investigation they believe 1t is
wise and the part of good public policy
to maintain silence. AS Chairman Hit of
the foreign affairs committee is confined
to his home by bad cold it is probable
that no meetings of that committee will be
held until he returns to his seat in the
House.

FRIENDSHIPS AND NEUTRALITY.

The "Novoe vremya." Of st. Petersburg, com
menting on the reported possibility OF an alliance
between the United States and Great Britain
and the incomparably more remote possibility
II, indeed, 1t be such at nll-rhat after wrestling
them from Spain this country might sell the
Philippine Islands to Great Britain, is quoted as
saying that such an intention would he 's'liii-
"c.ent to induce the Powers to reconsider their
neutrality during the present war"
We should be glad TO believe this leading Rus
sian paper hns been misquoted II not We must
regard 1t MS doing serious injustice TO itself TO
Russia and 10 the Powers. We are certainly
not prepared to believe that Russias lOng-stand-
ing and valued friendship for this country Is so
slight Of texture As TO be based solely upon our
refraning from friendship with that nation
which Is our closest kin in blood and spirit. Nor
can we credit the insinuation that the honorable
neutrality cs Russia and the other Powers Is
conditioned solely on our renouncing the ordi-
nary rights Of a victorious belligerent.
No. This Nation is friendly to Russia whether
she annpxes Manchu'ia or not 1t observed neu-
trality between France and Germany. without
regard to the disposition Of Alsace-Lorraine.
And, despite the "Novoe Vremyas" ll-consid-
cred or misquoted utterance, It looks for Ike
treatment from the European Powers
