believed our people could truthfully
say: 'The hand of God moved this
country to destroy in Cuba the rule of
kings" Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, fol-
lowed, and at the outset said that he
wanted to enter his protest against the
European powers going to the white
house to interfere in our affairs. Mr..
Allen blamed the administration with
being two faced and called the a.ten-

caring for ourselves. 1t was under
stood that the powers were to present
another protest at the white house.
Serator Allen charged that Turkey

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-The
Interest of the city has been directed
upon the senate. All day long con-
ferences between senators have been
held to agree upon an agreed form OF
resolution to be sent to the president.
Determined efforts have been made by
friends of the Cuban patriots, to have
the minority report of house sOlu-
tions adopted. and at the same time
the conservative senators are trying to
have rassed the house resolution which
is known is satisfactory to the president.
It is thought that the house will not
recede, from the action it has already
taken, ans this argument is being urg-
ed by the conservative senators as 9
reason why the resolution should pass
in it's present form, in order to prevent
further delay.

There is great CONSERVATION in the
state because of the appointment of G..
L. Mccoy to be Indian agent at Chey-
enne agency. He was endorsed for it
by outside parties, who contend that
they did it upon the strength of local
endorsements that Mccoy secured for
associate Justice of the supreme court
of New Mexico. There are many in
the state who honor and respect Char
ley Mccoy, and who would be glad to
have him secure some appointment
from the administration, yet who re-
alize that there is a strong public sen
timent against him in this state, and
that it would be a mistake to have him
appointed to aposition within the state.
Yet we can not see that it would be in
any way inconsistent for those who
have confidence in Mr.. Mccoy to en-
dorse him for a position elsewhere and
not endorse him for a position at home.
The endorser may not believe all that
some anita gonistic people believe. We
should not be surprised if President
Mckinley would withdraw the appoint
