chances are that if the senate does not
adjourn soon after receiving the mes
sage. the Cuban question will come up
in some shape tomorrow Yet it is
barely possible that the whole matter
will be deferred until the foreign rela-
tons committee can make its report
A resolution scarcely can get through
the senate without arousing some dis
cussIon. as there are senator's who are
opposed to any action at all. whether
for Intervention or independence. SEN
ator White of California is one of these,
and he probably will discuss any reso-
luton reported. There are several SEN
ators who now say tina they will insist
upon the recognition of independence
in any action taken. and that they will
be heard from in opposition to any
measure that does not provide for this.
If opportunity appears, the sundry
civil appropriation bill will be finally
disposed of. and if it is possible, the
naval appropriation bill will be report
ed from the committee and taken up
later in the week

Fun In the Old Daus

When the establishment of the mint
was under discussion in Washington
time. there were some amusing debates
in congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. says the Youths Com

scuabble over the design for the silver
dollar:
A member of the house from the south
bitterly opposed the choice of the eagle

IN THE SENATE.
Harmony Desired In Whatever Shape
Cuban Question May Take.

Washington, April 10.-The week in
the senate probably will be given en-
tirely to the Cuban question. The
presidents message is counted upon to
arrive soon after the assembling at
noon tomorrow. It Will be referred
promptly to the committee on foreign
relations, and the present understand
ing is that no report will be made by
the committee before Tuesday. The
report may, in case of the development
of radical differences in the committee.
be delayed to even a later day.

CUBAN QUESTION.

If the meeting of the committee is to
be held before the receipt of the mes
sage should develop that such action
can be secured from the committee and
in way to insure harmonious action
on the report in the senate, then there
will probably be no occasion for a dis
cussion of the form of the resolution
before taking up the real question at
issue. Senators. as a rule. show very
slight inclination for either, and the

HARMONY DESIRED.

There is a decidedly strong DISPOSE
ton on the part of the many senators
who are not members of the committee
to have the senate, as a body, take up
the subject of shaping the committees
report contemporaneously with the
committee, and it is not improbable that
a secret session of the senate may be
held with this purpose in view. The
purpose of this movement is. as has
been frequently stated,to secure IS near
an approach TO harmony in the senate
as possible, and it is believed this can
be best accomplished By having the
senate agree upon the form of tho
resolution before it goes to the senate
for action. The present tendency in
the senate is to confine the congress
sional illumination to a declaration for
armed intervention, leaving the recog-
milton OF independence to come later
and it now appears probable that the
foreign relations committee will report
in favor of this course, though not
without some dissent.

Ex-senator Davis.

Hon Henry Ct. Davis spoke at
his old home, Piedmont, Tuesday
night. His audience was large and
he was warmly greeted by his old
friends. His speech was replete in
facts and figures. He declared
freely and fully for free coinage of
silver at ratio of l6 to L. The
speech was an able one, and it's

not but have a good effect. We
regret that the limited space in our
paper will not admit of its repro
duction. Mr.. Davis interests in
this State, is greater than that of
any other man; and when other
Democrats in 1896, deserted their
party for the gold standard, sup
porting Mckinley or the Buokner
ticket, Mr.. Davis remained true to
his party, and came out in letter
declaring his adhesion to the Chi
