Dissatisfaction in Both Amer
 ica and Spain.
The Message in the Hands of the Foreign Relations Com mittees Which May Report Today or May Exhaust Many Days in Debate.

Washington, April 1.-The future of the relations of the United States with Spain and Cuba now rests with congress, the representative body of the American people. What course the elected men composing it will pursue cannot be foretold tonight.
 The foreign relations committees of both houses now have the subject in their control, and after due delibera- tion will report to their respective branches what they consider should be the attitude of the United States on the grave question now presented. Early action by the committee is ex- pected, but exactly when it may be looked for is not now determinable.
 The full responsibility of the sub ject was placed upon congress when President Mckinley transmitted to it his carefully prepared and anxiously awaited message relating to our nego- tiations with Spain, to its warfare 1n Cuba, and drawing therefrom his per sona1 conclusions and recommends tions.
 He placed the trust with these words: ''The issue is now with congress. It is solemn responsibility. I have ex- hausted every effort to relieve the in- tolerable condition of affairs which is at our doors. I am prepared to exc cute every obligation imposed upon me by the constitution and the law. InoW await your action"
 No message in recent years, not even that of President Cleveland on the Venezuelan question, nor that ot President Harrison on the Chilean af- fair caused such widespread and in. tense interest. No message was evel listened to with more close attention by both the galleries and the member. at both ends of the capitol

THE SENATE WAS READY.
So the Message Dropped Into Fiam-
 ing Fire.

Washington, April 11-In the senate today every available seat, both on the floor and in the galleries, was occu- pied before Vice-President Hobart's s gavel called the senate to order. In for hours, but the arrangements for handling crowds were so admirable that not the slightest confusion ex- isted. The attendance of the senators was unusually large, and every mem seat.
 Among the visitors on the floor were General Nelson A. Miles, commander in-chief of the army. In the diplo-

THE DEMOCRATS GROANED.
And Half the Republicans Applauded
 the Message.

Washington, April 1.-The presl- dents message was read in the house today in the presence of that assem- blaze and referred to the committee on foreign affairs without debate. There was absolutely no demonstra- tion either of approval or disapproval from the crowded galleries throughout and at the conclusion of the reading there was a sharp burst of applause from the republican side, when, to- wards the close of the message the president said the war in Cuba must, cease. At the conclusion of the read ing about half the republicans ap- plauded and several democrats groaned.
 THE SILENT GALLERIES.
 Washington, April 11.-Postmaster General Gary and Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson were on the floor just before the house convened. The hands, of the clock pointed to noon as the speaker entered the house, and the. hubbub ceased. After reading the journal Major Pruden, the presidents executive clerk, appeared in the main aisle bearing the message, and a hush fell on the assemblage. The speaker arose and Major Prud en announced the message. As it was carried down the aisles, the spectators leaned over with breathless interest, and members settled in their chairs. As the read- ing began every ear was strained.
 There were noldemonstrations of ap- proval until toward the latter part of the message came the words, This war must stop" It was greeted with a round of applause from about every quarter of the republican side. The galleries gave no sign. When the reading was concluded there was a scattering outburst from the repub- lican side, mingled with few groaps from the democratic side. Again tho galleries were silent. The speaker im- mediately announced the reference of the message and the accompanying pa pers to the committee on foreign af-

MAY BE A REPORT TODAY.
But Nothing Has Yet Been Agreed
 Upon.

Washington, April II. - Notwith- standing the early adjournment of the senate today, many of the senators remained about the capitol during the the senate chamber and in committee rooms. The committee on foreign re- lations was in session. Republican senators who endorse the presidents course, generally known as conserva- tives, were in conference in the rooms of the committee on rules, and several senatorial members of the democratic steering committee were consulting in the democratic caucus room in the sen- ate with some of the democratic lead CTS of the house, including MT. Bailey. The foreign relations committee sat for about three hours and after for | nal meeting had been concluded the republican members held conference at which they considered the posss- | bility of securing unanimous action on their part The committees did not reach an agreement, nor even a | be made tomorrow.
 WAITING FOR LEE.
 One reason for postponement of ac- tion is that the committee desires, be- fore reporting, to hear Consul-General Lee, who has informed the chairman that he can be with them tomorrow. The conclusions of the committee may depend largely upon the informa- tiOn General Lee places before it. DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT, I At the democratic conference the message was speedily endorsed. al- though there was much difference of
 opinion as to the course to be pursued. ] There is no doubt that resolutions
 recognizing the independence of tho
 Cubans will be introduced by demo crats in both houses Of congress They will probably be presented tomorrow

IS CUBA READY?

The president dwells at length upon the expressions of President Jackson in the matter of the recognition Of Texas, as indicating the position the United States should take in the Gu ban question. T said in my message of December last" he says, "it is to be seriously considered whether the Cu- ban instruction possesses beyond a dispute the attributes of statehood, which alone can demand a recogni- tion of belligerency in it's favor. The same requirement must be no less seriously considered when the grave is sue Of recognizing independence is in question. Nor from the standpoint of exped1ency do I think it would be wise or prudent for this government to recognize at the present time the inde- pendence of the so-called Cuban re-

In the House OF Commons,

Members are not allowed to refer to
each other by name in debate. The only
member who is properly addressed by
name is the chairman who prcsides over
the deliberations of the house in COM
mittec. On member rising to speak in
committee he begins with Mr.. Low
tier, and not with "Mr. Chairman"
as at public meetings. When the speak
er is in the chair, the formula is MIR.
Speaker, SIR
In debate a member is distinguished
by tho Office he holds, as 1.-THE right
honorable gentleman the chancellor Of
the exchequcr," or by the constituency
he represents, as "the honorable gentle
man the member for York" Some
make use of the terms my honorable
friend" or MY right honorable friend
In case of family relations the same
form is usually observed. Occasionally
my honorable relative" or MY right
honorable relative" is heard, but MY
right honorable father" or my right
honorable brother" though no doubt
allowable, has not been hitherto used.

die out in about four generations, re-

Small Size of Jersey Cows.

1t is quite possible that Jersey COWS
and others giving large messes of milk
are undersized because in calfhood,
tor time. at least, they are apt to be
ted on their own dams milk. Ii
their stomachs are cloyed then, the
effect remains until they may be half
grown. Jersey and Guernsey milk,
because it is extra rich, is often pre-
ferred by dotingparents for their very
young children, who have to be
brought up on the bottle. Yet no
cows milk is complete substitute to
child for that of its mother. All re-
quire some dilution, and the milk that
is richest in butter fats needs some
thing added to it worst of all. This
is not, however, to excuse the city
milk dealers, who may dilute the milk
to the legal standard. One-half the
mortality in cities of babies brought
up on the bottle would be obviated ii
they were fed properly.

Feeding without Profit.

The chief object of feeding should
be profit from the conversion of field
crops into more concentrated forms
for market. When stock can be kept
with profit, there is q double profit
from the farm-one from producing
the crops and one from converting
them into meat, milk, wool, etc. But
a considerable number of farmers that
do not have profitable stock farms,
feel obliged to keep stock for the sake
of the-manure, skinning all grass and
clover fields, and growing ether forage
for the maintenance of the stock. We
want to bear in mind that stock add
nothing to the quantity of plant food
in the forage, were it given directly to
the SOIL but that the feeding robs the
average farm of more than half it's
strength. The stock takes part of it
own use, and most farmers do not
have perfect appliances for saving and
applying the remainder. There is con-
tinual loss, the distribution is bad,
usually, and if the cultivated field that
grew a second Drop of clover or
heavy aftermath Of timothy could re-
tain it as mulch to be plowed under
at the right time it would get far more
fertility out of it than it ever would
from the manure made by feeding it,
and the distribution over the surface
would be far more even. Nine times
out of ten the fields need vegetable
matter far more than anything else,
and the idea that all growth should be
passed through the stables means in
actual practice the robbing of the field
i'll respect to the very thing it most
needs. If the feed is needed for stock
that is going to bring a nice profit over
all cost, that is another matter entire.

consideration, and cultivated crops are
the farmers source. of income, he is
on the wrong track when he puts la.
Dor on the harvesting of all manurial
crops, only to have half the fertility

manure gotten by feeding the growth,

by the G,st method is much greater.

Spaniards in the United States.

The number of persons of Spanish
birth in the United States is placed by
the late census at 5lS5. Contrary to
popular belief, fostered by the
alarming stories of Spanish spies and
sympathizers, there are no consider
able bodies of Spanish population any
where in the United States, and our
present adversary has a smaller pro-
portion of citizens here than Turkey.
All the other Latin nations are very
much more numerously represented.
Thus Italy has sent to this country
