Detroit Mich. March 15.-From a cir
cular letter, which was made public here
today. the foremost signer of which is
Governor Pingree. it would seem that a
new political national party is to have
birth at Buffalo. in the convention to be
held there. June 2s to July next. The
letter is issued by the Secretary Eltweed
Pomeroy. and is dated Newark, N j., Feb
ruary IA. 1t starts off by saying that a
meeting of progressive men-men of va
rious political and social beliefs-will be
held to consider the present condition OF
American politics. 1t says that no person
present is to be bound by any resolutions
he does not vote for. Among the signers.
beside Governor Pingree. are Senator AL
len, of Nebraska; Richard T. Ely. of Madi
son. Wis: Henry ID. Lloyd. and Senator
Pettigrew; Eugene Debs Mayor Josiah
Quincy. of Boston; Congressman Mcguire
of California, the Rev. Lyman Abbott, SEN

QUESADA UPHELD.
Protests Against the Action of the
Cuban Assembly.

Senior Gonzala de Quesada. the Cuban
representative in this city, has not yet re-
ceiyed official notification of the action of
the Assembly of the Cuban army. in de-
posing him and accusing him of treason.
On the contrary. messages have been re-
ceiyed by him from Santiago. Matanzas.
Havana. and other points. expressing con-
fidence in Senior Quesada, and protesting
against the action of the Assembly.
II was announced yesterday that General
Brooke had power to dissolve the so-called
Assembly and might take some action TO
end the present agitation. if IL becomes
necessary. The Assembly is regarded as
nothing more than a trouble making body
not representative OF the Cuban people
and the recent action taken against Ameri-
can authority renders the members amena-
BILE to national law.
No orders have yet been issued by the
War Department anent the dispersion of
the Assembly. and it is not certain that
General Brooke will be compelled 10 use
stringent measures. II is likely that the
Assembly will dissolve within the week.
The whole people of Cuba and the ma
jority of the army are believed TO be with

The Kaiser and the Rcichstag.

II is easier now than formerly to under
stand that our friend. the Kaiser, may be
indeed and heartily the friend of the United
States, and stili be compelled to appear as
an unfriend. In the past it has been rather
usual TO forget that he is a constitutional
sovereign with much less of personal pre-
rogative than the elective ruler of this
country. and that, therefore, he at any
lime may be politically dominated by the
party in his Empire which happens to have
working majority in the Reichstag.
For example. it Is observable that this
monarch, whom many of us have been
taught to regard as an irresponsible auto

The flilure Of the last attempt OF j. Edward

simply serves to acccntuatc the folly OF mixing
