Seventh congressional districts are
holding as'loye feast" here today, the
roundup being the first of a series of
such gatherings arranged for tho state
committee at its meeting two weeks
since. Six meetings will be held, cev-
ering every section of the state, the
purpose of the committee being to
draw forth Republican sentiment con-
cerpinR the issues of the campaign
before the state convention is called

general opinion among those present,
that the convention should not be
called until national affairs assume a
more definite shape

Bailey, Democratic Leader Of
the House, Tries to Secure
Immediate Action.
the Old FOSSILS OBJECT
Speaker Reed Sustains the OBJ
lection and is Supported BY
REPUBLICAN Majority.
SENATE IS WEAK IN THE LEGS

WASHINGTON, d. e., March 3d.
Bailey. Democratic leader, presented
in the House, as matter Of privilege,
resolution recognizing the independ-
ence of Cuba. A perfect whirlwind of
applause overwhelmed the House from
the galleries. Boutelle made a point
of order against it. Bailey, speaking
to the point of order, declared he had
no purpose to raise disorder in the
House. He believed he had right to
make it. The greatest confusion and
excitement prevailed. Bailey said the
House had right to decide this ques-
tion and accepet the responsibility.
Bailey cited the precedent In the Fifty
third Congress, on similar question.
The Speaker of the House and Repub-
licans all voted against the ruling OF
Speaker Crisp, holding that the Haw-
allan resolution offered by Boutelle,
while in order, must 60 to a committee
aud was not privileged for immediate
consideration. The Democrats and
galleries repeatedly applauded.
Boutelle replied, detailing the circum.
stances precedent, but contended that
the ruling was erroneous.
Hull, chairman of the military affairs
committee, who is at the head of the
radical Republicans, arose to rally his
followers against the resolution at this
time. He was willing to go as far a.
any one in aid of the struggling patriots
of Cuba, but wanted everything done
Ia an orderly way.
Hopkins, who presided at the meet
ing of the radical Republicans last
evening, said the resolution should 60
to committee. He was not willing to
be carried off his feet to overturn the
rules of the House.
Speaker Reed ruled that the question
of war and independence did not con~ I
stitute a question of privilege and
would not, he thought, at any time.
except IN times of great excitement
The Speaker sustained the point OF
order.
Bailey appealed from the ruling.
Speaker Reed, after the appeal, stated
that he had no doubt but the ends
sought in the resolution would be
secured in an honorable and satisfac-
tory manner.
Bailey said he had no doubt that the
remark was intended to stiffen the
backbone of the Republican members.
On laying the appeal on the table, the
standing vote showed 178 to 1877. No
Republican was seen voting in the
negative. On roll call the appeal was
laid on the table; l79 yeas to 139 nays.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Two Re-
publicans, Acheson and Robbins, of
Pennsylvania, voted with the Demo.
Gratis against the Speakers ruling.
Representative AdamsUn, of Georgia,
introduced resolution recognizing the
republic of Cuba aud authorizing the
President to accredit Minister to that
government.
Representative Mahony, of New
York, introduced joint resolution
recognizing the Cuban republic as
free and independent state and well
coming her to the "Sisterhood of Re-
publics in the Western World."
Representative Todd, of Michigan.
introduced resolution declaring that
a state of war exists between the
United States and Spain.
The House resumed consideration of
the Naval bill.

SPANISH MINISTER DENIES.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.EFhe Pres
ident has received ; cablegram from
Minister Woodford in which he says
he had a conference with Premier
Sagasta. AS the latter desires to place
the matter before the Queen Regent
and other members of the ministry, the
conference adjourned until Thursday.
Woodford's message gives the pres
ident hope that the final settlement Of
the question at issue may be de-
termlned at tomorrow's conference.
The main question discussed at the
meeting between Minister Woodf0rd
and Premier Sagasta was that prompt
cessation of hostilities in Cuba would
take place, and release of reconcentrad-
oes, with permission for them to res
turn to their homes and resume their
occupations without further molesta
tivn. The plan involves indemnity.

been reached comprising a payment by

the embarkation of Spanish troops for
home, etc., was unwarranted and
absurd.
AFRAID OF THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-General
Grosvenor, of Ohio, has expressed a
willingness to call caucus of Kepubli-
can members to decide upon action
with relation to the Cuban situation.
But some of the most radical Republic
cans do not believe caucus should be
held yet, as they are of the opinion it
would necessarily lead to an open
division between the Republicans in
Congress and the President.
WANTS SLOW WORK.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-President
Mckinley told a Michigan Congress

The Senate committee on foreign re-
lations failed to reach an agreement

Members of the committee who saw
the President today, assured the other
members that the matter would be
settled one way or another within .
week or maybe forty EIGHT hours.

unwise, In view of negotiations. to
precipitate matters.

tions committee a resolution requesting

WEEKLY BULLETIN.
Correspondence Of the Weather Bureau on
New England Crops,

WV -hki"Hu NfOpSs
Boston, July 5-Crops of all kinds
made rapid progress last week. Corn
and potatoes are especially conspicuous
for marked growth. The former, how
ever, is still backward in all sections
and Is small for the season. The ground
is now becoming dry, except in parts of
Maine. In Vermont and New Hamp-
shire the streams are low, and water is
beginning to be needed for pastures.
In parts OF Connecticut a serious
drought prevails, and pastures are get
ting brown. The conditions in Rhode
Island are much like those in Connecti-
cut.
Corn is promising, but backward a
week or 10 days throughout the district.
Spring and winter grains are favorable,
except rust is causing serious damage in
Connecticut. In the vicinity of Clare
mont, N. H., some fields are yellow with
weeds. Oats are heading and rye Is
rlpening in southern parts of the dis
trict.
The yield Of grass, with few excep-
lions, is overwhelming, and there seems
little doubt that all will be secured in
fine condition.
Apples, with few exceptions, will be
a good crop. The worm pest has abated
in many sections in Vermont but the
crop Is about ruined. In the vicinity of
Claremont, N. H., caterpillars and can
ker worms continue their ravages on
fruit and shade trees Other fruit apd
berries, as a rule, will be plentiful.
