Summary of the Message.

In submitting the case to Con
gress the President reviewed at
length his unsuccessful negotiations
with Spain for the pacification of
the island, and argued against the
recognition of Cuban independence,
dismissed the recognition of bel
ligrency as equally unwlse, and con-
tended that in Intervening at all the
United States should intervene only
as a neutral, aud not as an ally oil
either side.
Only two positive recommenda-
tions are made. He asks
For authority to intervene to re-
store order, with power to use the
army and navy if necessary; and
For an appropriation to continue
the work of relieving the victims OF
the Spanish recommendation policy
He iustif1es Intervention on -four
grounds-in the name of humanity
for the protection of American citi-
zens, the protection of commerce,
and because the war is a menace tC
our peace and imposes an expense
on our Government.
Characterizing the situation in
Cuba as "Intoierable," he admits
that he has exhausted every
effort" to relieve it, and leaves the
matter in the hands of Congress
asking authority Ito take measures
to secure a full and final termination
of hostilities between the Govern
ment of Spain and the people of Gu
ba, and to secure in the island the
establishment of a stable govern
ment," and to use 'the army anC
navy of the United States if neces-
sary fof these purposes.
The request that the matter b,
still left to his discretion makes tht
! Presidents attitude as to SPAIN
belated decree of armistice of inter
est as showing how far he would b,
| inclined to continue his policy o
waiting on Spanish promises. Stat
! ing the fact of the decree of faTmistic,
he says that "if this measure at
tains a successful result, then ou
aspirations as a Christian, peace
loving people will be realized" ant
concludes his message by sayini
that "if it fails" it will be onl!
another justification of intervention
This seems TO indicate that thu
President does not find the situation
too "intolerable" to indulge Spail
still longer in its shifts for gaining
time.

WARRINGTON, April 1.-THE
future of the relations of the United
States with Spain and Cuba now
rests with Congress, the representa-
tive body of the American people.
The foreign committees of both
houses now have the matter in their
control, and what their action will
be is problematic.
The full responsibility OF the sub
ject. was placed upon Congress-,
when President Mckinley to-day
transmitted TO it an anXiously
awaited message relating to our
negotiations with Spain as to it's
warfare in Cuba and drawing there
from his personal conclusions and
recommendations. He placed the
trust, with these words:
"The issue is now with Congress
1t is a solemn responsibility. have
exhausted every effort to relieve the
intolerable condition of affairs
which is at our doors. Prepared to
execute every obligation put upon.me
by the constitution and the law, 1
await your &C tion."
No message in recent years
caused such widespread and intense
interest. No message was ever lis.
tened to with closer attention by
both galleries and members at both
ends of the Capitol. And no mes
sage, it can truthfully be said, ever
caused so much adverse criticism
and disappointment among al
classes and political parties as this
The long-delayed paper was SEN
to Congress to-day at noon, and was
referred in each House to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The message was received with {
general feeling of disappointment
both as to the revelations made con.
cerning previous negotiations with
Spain, and the recommendations al
to future policy. Only the ex
treme peace party was pleased
Everybody else was disgusted. The
message was heard in silence in tht
Senate and with little applause il
the House.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations went at once into session
but reached no definite decision
The house committee is also divided
and no report is expected before to
morrow. To some experienced OBJ
servers there are indications of
possible deadlock in Congress. Tn
advocates of a recognition of inde
,, pendence are aroused and such
proposition will be pushed forward
in both House and Senate whateve
the committees may report.

the death of 26O American seamen
finds place in the message only as
an illustration of Spain's inability

no reply to this proposal.

No Change Wanted.



notice in this mornings Adver-
tiser that prominent member Of
the Hawaiian Jockey Club" in an
interview has stated that the present
system of three-iu. five mile heats in
harness racing should he changed
to the best two.in-three, and that
the Jockey Club will bs asked to
make this important change at the
meet of the 11th of June.
The "prominent IN mber" evident
ly does not know what he is talking
about or he ia a man who has an axe
to grind and horse to run, which
cannot stand the strain OF 3 10 s.
He tells us that he is only con
sidering the "public," which gets
tired of sitting around waiting for
the horses to score. 1t is pleasant
to see tho "prominent member"
taxing such deep interest in the
"publIc" Heretofore the iictum Of
These "prominent" members has
been "the public be damned" Now
radical change in the present
system Of racing is suggested simply
for the benefit Of the dear people.
The fact is simply this that the
owners of racing" horses do not
propose to enter them in any 2.in 3
event. By referring to the official
reports Of all the races which took
place il 1897, it will be seen that all
trotting aud pacing races from Cali
fornia 10 New York we're under he
3 in 5 rule, except races for 2 years
old.
The "prominent" member says
"the public will be- protected from
any fraud thst may he perpetrated
by some driver who holds his horse
in until tho third or fourth heats, n
order to h ece the innocent ones"
| What is the matter with an unscru-
pulous driver doing the same busi.
ness under the 2.ln3 plan?
The public interested in the races
want to see race horses hat have SUI
icent stamina to go three straight
NIL les at an interval OF rs minutes.
They don't want races arranged to
accommodate the owner of some old
broken-down racer, which may, un.
der the influence Of cocaine, win one
heat, have faint show at the next
heat, and then utterly collapse NJ
body insinuates that such horses are
here, but it is just as we'll al the
executive committee Of the Jockey
Club should be, like Caesars wife
above suspicion.
1t has been painful surprise to a
number Of norsemen o see on the
executive commit ee he name Of the
owner OF big string Of race horses
who is personally interested in the
program and other arrangements
for the next meeting, and who in
connection with other officers form
new family compact"
1t is imm material to the horse
owners who the officers of the club
are as long as everybody gets fail
show according to the rules and
customs OF the National Association
to which the local club will shortly
belong.
II the 2 in 3 plan should be adopt

The trustfulness Of this newly
formed corporation ia the simplicity
and confidence OF the citizens Of
Honolulu is apparently unlimited.
After defining the proposed routes
over most OF the roads and streets
which now exist, and good many
more which do mot exist, they add
the rights to any other they may
feel disposed to enter upon. In pl.in
English, they are seeking a free
hand to go anywhere aud do any
thing, the only safeguard being the
consent OF the Executive. And when
it is remembered that there is a
1 prospective control OF the public
Treasury, it would not be surprising
if attempts should also be made to
bend the Executive to the iron will
of this new tyranny which is about
to be foisted upon the community,
If rights and privileges are to be
granted, let them be plainly stated
in black and white, 30 that we know

rights and privileges are just ones,
there can be no objection; il they
are not just, we can readily under
stand the reason of their being SO
