CONGRESSMAN McRAE's OPINION

TIE newspaper correspondents
are still giving out all sorts Of tales
about what Congress is going to do
and what President Mckinley will
recommend IN the Spanish-Ameri-
can fuss now brewing. We take
this from a Little Rock Gazette
special, as an interview with Con-
gresham Tom McRae:
"The Gazette" correspondent
asked Congressman McRae tonight
for his opinion of what would be
the presidents procedure in the
next few days. Mr.. McRae said;
"From what | can learn, the presi-
dent and cabinet will receive the re-
port Immediately upon its arrival
and proceed to examine it, which
will probably require all day tomor
row Tomorrow night it will be ca
bled to the Spanish government at
Madrid and a reply will be awaited.
Monday the president will lay
the report before both houses OF
congress accompanied by a message
asking an appropriation Of one mil
lion dollars for the purpose Of feed
ing the starving Cubans. This
amount, of course, will be voted
promptly and the United States
will at once set to work upon its own
authority to distribute supplies,
peaceably if possible, forcibly if nee.
essary. Should Spain object, Gu
ba's independence will be recognized
and war would no doubt follow. Al
any rate the United States will feet
the famished people huddled upor
the island.
In my opinion, continued Mr.
McRae, mo indemnity for the
Maine will be asked in Mondays
message. l have also heard that
the president in his conferences
with Democratic senators has asked
a months more time before precipi
tating matters in that branch o.
congress.

THAT REPORT HAS LANDED.
1t Is Now In the Hands of the Presi-
dent and Cabinet.

Washington, March 24-Com-
mander Mark and his companions,
bearing the report of the Maine
court of inquiry, reached Washing
ton at 9:35 tonight, they reaching
here on time. The crowd was so
dense at the depot that the party
left the train outside the shed and
took carriages for the Ebbitt house,
where the officers will spend the
night.
They were met at the station by
an officer or the navy department,
who informed them that the secre-
tary of the navy would not receive
the report tonight.
Lieutenant Commander Mark,
Lieutenant Jungen and Mr.. Ward,
of the navy department, entered a
carriage at the depot and gave or
ders TO be driven to the White
House.
Lieutenant Jungen, it is believed,
carried the report with him.

tom of the Maine to be undisturbed
by dynamite until after the conclu-
sion of the Spanish inquiry now
pending. The report of the Amer
ican court of inquiry having now
been finished, it would appear indis-
Greet for the American officers, by
a hasty use of dynamite, to expose
themselves to the possible charge
of trying to destroy the evidence
on which their conclusions were
based.
Captain Sigsbee sees the force Of
this suggestion and will not press
the matter further, at least until
the Spanish inquiry is reported fin
ished.

GENERAL WASHIGTON'S COUK

In the Century there is an article by
Martha Littlefeld Phillips, giving
Gree collections of Washington and His
Friends" The author is a grandaugh-
ter of General Nathaniel Greene, and
she tells the blowing story in the
words of her grandmother, concerning
a VISIT of the latter to Washington In
Philadelphia:
"One incident which occurred dur
ing that visit was so comical in itself,
aud so Characteristic of Washington
that I recall it for entertainment.
Early on bright December morning,a
drolll-looking old countryman called to
see the President. In the midst OF
their interview brealfas was announc-
ed; and the President invited the ylsl-
tor, as was his hospitable wont on such
occasions, to a seat beside him at the
table. The visitor drank his coffee
from his saucer; but lest any grie1
should come to the snowy damask, M
laboriously scraped the bottom OF hl'
cup on the saucer's edge before setting
it down on the table cloth. He did
with such audible vigor that it attrac
ted my attention, and that of severa
young people present always on tn
alert for occasions of laughter. W.
were so indiscreet as to allow ou
amusement to become obvious. Gene

SERVANT AND MISTRESS.

The laying of the cornerstone OF the
Jefferson Davis monument at Rich
mond, not long ago, was marked by
o pathetically interesting incident
which is thus narrated by the Washing
ton Post:
In the midst of speechmaking, an
old negro was seen working his way
laboriously through the crowd upon
the platform, Finally reaching the
Governor, the white-haired darkey, his
worn hat in both shaking hands, made
q low bow.
"Please, gov'nor, will you show me
whar Missus Davis standing'-point
Ler out to me?"
The Governor looked at the negro a
moment, and seeing the trembling
eagerness in his wrinkled face, court
eonsly complied with his request.
.|Thapk'e gov'nor, thank'e; amt see
my ole missus sence massa died way
down in Mississippi-I war with he'
then. I done heerd she'd be here Il
day."
Tears of Joy were in the old slave
ewes as he tottered 81, ne to the pac
where Mrs. Davis and her daughte
were standing, 10th unconscious G
his coming. AS soon as the lady SAY
her servant her voice broke into gla
cry of recognition. The old darke
lnelt and kissed her hands, while tn
tees streamed down his furrowe
cheeks. There was for moment al
solute silence. Some OF the spects
tors turned away their faces, ana a
felt that affecting scene had lent ne
sacredness to tie dedicatory cereme
