what the action of the senate is going
TO be. The plan is to keep the senator's
in session. under adjournment to a
given hour. until debate is exhausted;
and II all the members who intend to
participate in h debate persist in this
purpose. II may be doubtful whether
the senate will be ready for the vote

repeatedly pointed out on this page. the
problem with which congress is dealing
concerns the recognition of Cuba's in
dependence. Guesses come by wire as
to which way the decision win be. but
they are merely guesses.

Now He's on.

TT looks so much like war that Senior
Polo. for a brief period Spanish
minister at Washington. has stored
SPANS diplomatic belongings and
packed his grip. Senior Polo isn't one
of the worst of them-as Spaniards run
by any means; he is too thoroughly
Americanized for that. His father be-
fore him saw service for Spain at this
country's capital. He has spent years
in the United States, he is a much
esteemed gentleman. and when he gets

BURLEIGH IN PORTLAND.
A Former Acquaintance Sees Him and
Talks with Him.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Dillon. Mont. April HIT was learned
to-day from a source he accuracy of
which cannot be disputed that II. j. Bur-
leigh. the missing attorney, was seen and
talked with upon the streets of Portland,
Ore, by a person who could not be mis-
taken i'm the man. The exact date is not
Known, but from circumstances i'm con-
nection 1t is presumed to have been on
April . or 3.
Mrs. Paul j.. Walsh of this city was to-
day the recipient of a letter from Mrs. j.
G. Burton. formerly of this place. but now
living in Ogden. In this letter Mrs. BUR-
ton SAYS she has seen the report of Mr..
Burleigh's disappearance, and continues:
II do not believe in the theory that Mr..
Burleigh Is dead. because in Joe's last
letter, dated on the 9th inst. at Seattle.
In telling me of the people he had met
While I'm Portland that he knew he msn-
toned among them III. j.. Burleigh, saying
he had met and talked with him"
Mrs. Burton is the wife of Joe c.. Bur-
ton, a former engineer on the Short Line,
located in this place. and VINO mad known
MIR. Burleigh for the past 10 years. Al
the time Mr.. Burton wrote the letter ia
his wife he knew nothing of the reported
disappearance of Mr.. Burleigh. and con
sequently did not look upon the meeting
of Mr.. Burleigh in Portland as anything
unusual. The reliability OF Mr.. Burton:
statement is such that II has settled the
matter in every ones mind as to the sui
eide theory. The question of insanity Il
still be lieved by some, but from the fac'
that no mention was made in Mr.. Bur
toms letter of any peculiar action on th'
part of AIR. Burleigh created a genera
impression that Mr.. Burleigh was CLOTHED
In his right mind and was on his way t.
Alaska.
Mrs. Burleigh is I'm the city and wa;
advised OF the receipt of the above letter
but your correspondent was unable to se
her and it is not known effect th'
letter would have upon her belief tina
Mr.. Burleigh is dead.

WHERE ARE THEY?

1t has often been said that 1t
requires a war to develop the
latent resources Of a nation.
Doubtless there is some truth in
that statement; but the fact re-
mains that this nation is now at
war and so far as surface indi-
cations 60 there is a suppression
of resources rather than deVel-
opement OF them.
The Chicago Times-Herald
asks: "What has become OF
the inventor of that bullet proof
cloth which was exploited here
last year," That invention was
a great thing-in peace; but IN
war it seems to be worth about
as much as the figure 9 without
the tail.
What has become OF Edison s
great scheme to defend a harbor
by electricity? A year ago ne

mite into the enemy's camp
