NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
The long waited for situation, the
return of the conferees, camo at 8. 10
p m. There was visible stir in
the galleries rs the chairman of the
conference committee, Senator Davis,
of Minnesota, rose to present the re-
port and make his statement to the
Senate. BY this time nearly every
Senator was in his seat, and the in
terost became intense as it was
whispered about that an agreement
had been reached. Senator Davis
said in conformity with the instruc-
tlons Of the Senate the conferees met
like committee from the House,
and that aftor full and free discus
sion he had to report that the con-
forces had failed to reach an agree
ment. There was intense silence. It
was the unexpected that had hap
pened, and then half sigh was
heard over the crowded galleries that
all the eloquence, the logic and the
exhaustive presentation of every
phase of the pending proposition
must 60 for naught.
TWO FATErUL WORDS, CARE AND"
Senator Davis then stated the
points of disagreement, that there
had been no difficulty to agree to the
House resolution as amended, but
the point Of contention arose over
the insertion of tho words care and"
in the first section, which says the
people of Cuba "are and of right
ought to be free and independent"
He said tho majority of the confereos
had agreed to waive the Turple
amendment providing that the words
above mentioned be inserted, but the
Senate conferees wore met with re-
fusal to SO agree, and he reluctantly
reported the same to the Senate.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, then
offered motion to insist upon the
Senate resolution, whereupon Sena
tor Morgan of Alabama, said in
loud voico he had not yielded tho
Republic of Cuba as a member of
the conference committee.
