Federal and state Control.

I'm other words, would preserve to the
people of the state all the rights they now
have, and at the same time, have congress
exercise concurrent remedy to supple
ment the state remedy. When the federal
government licenses corporation to do
business outside the state in which It was
organized, it merely permits It to do busi-
ness in any other state, under the condi-
tons imposed by that state, in addition to
the conditions imposed by the federal gov
ernment. l would not take away from the
people of the state any right now existing,
but would have the federal government
and the state government exercise the
powers that may be necessary to annihi-
late the monopoly / do not agree with
the gentleman that you can not annihEiate

possible to do so. and could not help but
think of line of song while the gentle

The whist match between Baltimore and

Saturday night and resulted in a victory
for the visiting team by twelve points
These teams are the strongest that can be

The other half of the teams. Mrs. HaW-
ley, Mrs. McCrea, Mrs. Leech and Mrs.
King, stand very high In local whist circles
dies from Baltimore, Mrs. Reeves, Mrs.
Penniman, Mrs. Ruff and Mrs Goldsbor-
ough, wear laurels equally as high in whist
circles of the monumental CITY .
The Baltimore eight was never headed
Saturday night, having the lead in the first
half and finishing with twelve tricks to the
good. Mr.. ]. F. Leech Of this city was ref
cree and performed the duties of his Office
impartially, and consequently satisfactort

promising royal time to the Washington-
ians when the trip to Baltimore is made.

SANGUILLY'S AMBITION.
That Was the Cause of the Cuban As
sembly's Action.

The action taken by the Cuban assembly
Saturday in deposing Gen. Maxine Gomez
from the command of the Cuban army and
rebuking Senior GonzaIo de Quesada, the
representative of the assembly at Wash
ington, has created a very decided impress
sion in official circles here. The concensus
of opinion is that the United States viii
now proceed to the settlement of the prob
lem in the island without further notice of
the political agitators who composed the
Cuban assembly.
The action of the assembly was its last
resort. Its constant demands and pleas for
official recognition by the United States
government and the steadfast refusal of
the latter to recognize 1t in any manner led
to its final attempt to create discord in
Cuba. \ few facts not hitherto published
will be found instructive at this juncture.
When the Cuban commission, headed by
Gen. CaliXto Garcia. came to this city to
confer with the administration regarding
the disbanding of the Cuban army, it was
received merely as individuals, and this was
thoroughly impressed upon Gen. Garcia and
his associates who We're Manuel Sanguilly,
the younger Gomez, Lanuza and Villaton.
Gen. Garcia asked for s., ,000, 600 to be dis
tributed among the Cuban army to aid in
its disbandmeut, not as wages, but TO assist
the soldiers in taking up the avocatiCns of
peace. Sanguily wanted the amount fixed
at $i00O0,OO1, and another commissioner,
Gomez, thought at least S1olW1,oOO was
necessary. Gen. Garcia died and the other
commissioners returned to Cuba with San
gully who Is ambitious to become presi-
dent of a Cuban republic. By the influence
of Sanguilly the other agitators in the
Cuban assembly and several military men
in IT who were rank enemies of Gomez, be-
cause he declined to give them high rank
in the army, proceeded to foment discomfort
In the body. This reached its climax when
Gen. Gomez was visited by Commissioner
Robert otnS do
consented'to lend his powerful influence to
thA United States in the solution Of the
