Washington, April 1S.-Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
will tomorrow introduce an administra-
ton bill, authorizing the president to
issue a call for volunteers to the num-
Der of $4,000 or 10000 men. 1t will be
considered Immediately by the commit
tee, its passage expedited as rapidly
as possible, and viii take effect imme-
diately upon the presidents approval
It's terms will authorize the president
TO call on the various states for quo
tas in making up the aggregate. By
reading in this way, instead of specl-
fically looking to calling out the va
rious state militia, it will avoid several
embarrassing technicalities, a main
one being the constitutional inhibition
of sending state militia out of the
country, while volunteers so called for
can be ordered anywhere. 1t is likely
that if the situation develops into such
grave proportions as is now expected,
a second call for 100000 volunteers will
be issued by the president. The neces-

conference committee of the two

terward had adopted it. There was a
fight to the last minute. the advocates
of the recognition of the independence
of the island republic standing their
ground until they were fairly knocked
down by a vote of ~ to 50. The mi
nority vote was cast by those who
wanted radical action and insisted that
the resolution should carry with it rec
ognition of the independence of the
Cuban republic.
TUMULTUOUS SESSION.
The adoption of the conference report
brought to a close one of the most in
teresting and tumultuous sessions of
the senate held in years. Such scenes
of confusion and excitement have rare
ly been witnessed in the ordinarily staid
and dignified body as characterized its
proceedings from noon yesterday until
nearly 2 o'clock in the morning. Inter
est in all other questions was dwarfed
into insignificance by the one over
whelming question of war-war which
all now regard to be absolutely in
evitable. Efforts were made to trans
act the regular business of the senate
but it was with the utmost Giffldence
that senators performed the work
Among those who remained upon the
floor while the sundry civil bill was I'M
der consideration, the confusion was so
great that the business could scarcely
proceed.
A feeling of bitterness grew up be-
tween the senate and house during the
late afternoon and evening that at one
time seemed likely to delay action.
Cooler counsels prevailed, however.
and a determination of the momentous
question was finally reached.
LOST GROUND.
Those who were fighting for the rec
ognition of the island republic early de-
cided that the senate should not take
the initiative in requesting conference
between the two houses. They further
resolved that when the senate conferees
were finally appointed, at least two of
them should represent the majority
sentiment of the body. The radical adj
vocates of independence slowly, but
none the less surely, lost ground. how

They capitulated, but did not surren-

women and men in evening dress filled

ceedings-

AN EXCITING DAY.
Washington, April 1S-Immediately
upon the house converting a 10 o'clock
this morning in accordance with the
recess taken Saturday morning, Mr..
Dingley, the Republican floor leader,
moved an adjournment, which motion
was carried The regular session there
fore began at noon. The majority gave
as the reason for adjournment that no
message could be received from the
senate until that body is in session.
The feeling was very intense among the
Republicans and there was every indi-
cation of a bitter contest.
After adjournment the Republican
leaders who had mapped out the pro-
sramme of rejecting the clause eff the
senate resolutions providing for the
recognition of the independence of the
present republic, continued laboring
with ccllea CUES who obstinately refused
TO acQuiesce. The opposition on the
Republican side, though small. was
resolute. The speaker summoned his
lieutenantS 10 his room and the situa-
ton was earnestly discussed. Every
Republican who was likely to break
over the traces was surrounded by
crowd of his colleagues and beSeiged
with arguments and reasons why he
could not be justified in joining the OPP
position at this critical juncture. But

SENATE YIELDED FOR
SAKE OF HARMONY
Accepted More Moderate Measure Than Its Pro-
position For Cuban Recognition.

the conference committee, there was a
hush in the great chamber, which few
seconds before had been thrilled with
animation. When the verdict had been
rendered and accepted by the senate.
the great audience dispersed, quietly,
almost solemnly. All realized that the
verdict meant war and the action taken
was too momentous to inspire anything
less than awe.
PROCEEDINGS.
Before the senate convened this
morning groups of senators gathered
about the chamber discussing the prob
able action of the house upon the Gu
ban resolutions and preparing for such
action as might be deemed necessary
by the senate when the resolutions
came back.
Comparatively few people were in the
galleries. The amendments made by
the house to the senate bill approving a
compromise and settlement between
the United States and the state of Ar
kansas were concurred in by the SEN
ate.

AGREES THAT CUBANS
OUGHT TO Be FREE
Long and Hard Fought Battle In the House Over the
Senate Turpie Amendment

of Illinois and Cromwell of Ohio, most
of them refused to be persuaded.
The Populists had an Informal con-
ference during the interim in the house
and decided to stand to a man for the
senate resolution as it passed the SEN
5ate.
Several senators were on the floor,
among them Senator Burrows of Mich
igan- appealing to their colleagues OF
the house to stand by the president.
SCENE on THE FLOOR.
The scene on the floor resembled a
political convention more than the
house of representatives Members were
scurrying about caucusing in groups
and discussing the situation. The un-
certainty of the issue was admitted on
all hands, although the Republican
leaders had a strategic advantage in
compelling the first vote TO be- taken
upon their own proposition This
measurably strengthened their posi-
ton.
The Republicans of several state del
egations, among others those of the
Pennsylvania and Illinois delegations,
caucUsed. In both these delegations the
sentiments of concurrence in the senate
amendments was strong.
w. \. Stone of Pennsylvania, joined
Messrs. Robbins and Acheson, and the
last named, it was said, won over MT
Young of Philadelphia. The Republic
ans of the Pennsylvania delegation,
with three exceptions, decided to vote
for concurrence with the senate resolu-
tons as reported from the foreign re-
lations committee, but eliminating the
recognition clause.
In the Illinois delegation, Messrs.
Lorrimer and Mann were the leaders.
Five others agreed to vote with them
for the senate amendments.
Shortly before Il o'clock Senator
Hanna appeared on the floor of the
house and had a consultation with
General GrOsvenor of Ohio. The gen.
eral informed the Ohio senator that he
considered the action of the house very
doubtful.
SESSION BEGAN.
As the hands of the clock pointed at
noon, the speaker assembled the ros-
trum and, with one resounding whack
of his gavel, silenced the confusion on
the floor and the hum of conversation
in the crowded galleries. 1t was an
impressive scene as the members list
ened with bowed heads to the solemn
invocation of the blind chaplain.
No sooner mad the chaplain ceased,
however, than the confusion was re-
doubled as the members labored dur
ing the last few precious moments.
The reading of the journal had NJ
been concluded before the clerk of tn,
senate announced the passage of the
house Cuban resolution, with some
amendments. Instantly the galleries
were all attention and members leaned

NEW JERSEY ESTIMATE.
Cost OF IIauIaEc Demonstrates the
Advantages of Good Road Sur
face and Light Grades

The annual report of the state road
commissioner of New Jersey makes the
following statement Of the cost of haul
age on various roads, and shows very
concisely where the advantages of good
surface and light grades come in. He
says:
1T costs 9h cents bushel to ship
wheat from Chicago to New York, a
distance of 900 miles: it costs three
cents a bushel to haul wheat on level
road distance of five miles, and on
sandy road it would cost nine cents
per mile to haul it. The saving on q
bushel of wheat with good roads for 8
distance of five miles would be equiva.
lent to that of 600 miles of transporta.
ton by steamer or canal boat. or 37S
miles by railroad. One mile of good
roads would make saving equal to IS
miles of railroad transportation. Thus
every mile of good roads places the
producer Is miles by rail nearer to the
markets. 1t is estimated that the cost
Of hauling 500 100000 tons offarm prod
uce to market is 50 per ton, or just
about $1,000, COG: it is also estimated
That about 60 per cent. of this last
amount. or 100000, 900. would be saved
each year if farmers were able to dc
this hauling over good roads,
