THE CAUCUsEs OF THE HOUSE

Caucus In the Afternoon and

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.l
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Representa-
tive Cowherd, of the Kansas City dis
trict, has arrived. He claims that De
Almond will go into the Democratic
caucus with more votes than any of the
other aspirants for the minority leader
ship. The supporters of Sulzer, of New
York, insist that he will be backed by
all the Democrats from his state, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Maryland,
and the report is that Croker and Cor
man have made this deal with a view
of eventually throwing most of the
strength thus consolidated to the win
ming man. Many OF the members think
there is no doubt that Bailey, of Texas,
is very bitter against both Richardson
and De Almond, but some of Baileys
former followers do not appear to be
standing with him in this contest. Mr.
Bryan's interests will not be dragged
into the controversy, it is believed,
though stories haYe been circulated to
the effect that efforts are being made
to effect combination that will not be
highly satisfactory to the Nebraska
statesman.
CAUCUS HOURS.
The Democratic members of the house
will hold their caucus at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. The Republicans will
hold their caucus at o'clock the same
evening. The formal call of neither has

stood that this will be the arrangement.

London, Nov. 2S.-General Lord Meth
uen reports that the Ninth lanciers lost
one killed and eight wounded in the
battle of Gras Pan. He mentions no
missing hence the war office supposes
that the regiment, which was reported
to have been captured by the Beers, re-
turned in safety. Men are stiffening
themselves for another humiliation at
the hands of the Beers and for news
that the troops, they thought were
atoning for the disaster in Natal, had
themselves sustained a crushing blow.
Consequently, Methuen's reassuring
message has caused joyful revulsion
of feeling and there is great rejoicing.

Close Relations With Cuba and

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June THE
abstract question of the political posi-
bility and the industrial and CONNER
cial desirability of the annexation of
the British West Indies to the United
States is, nothing new. AS a matter Of
casual discussion at least, it has been on
the cards since 1857, when General
Grant developed the scheme for acquir-
ing the Danish islands
1t, however. remained for the Ameri-
can conquest of Cuba and Porto Rico to
awaken the English colonists to a full
realization of the outlook. The Ameri-
canization of those two islands presents
a most serious menace to the industrial
and commercial prosperity of their Brit
ish neighbors, and it is only natural
that the English colonists should be
attracted by Andrew Carnegies sugges-
ton to exchange the British West In
dies for the Philippines.
AS far back as August Of last year,
the question of securing annexation tc
the United States was mooted in j.
maica. Nothing came of it. howeve
A plebescite was suggested in planting
circles and the commercial community
was. not wanting in sympathy with the
proposal. But, on the other hand, the
extreme antagonism of the colored pop
ulation was so marked that the most
enthusiastic annexationists realized the
then mpracticability of the plebescite.
Consequently the matter was speedily
shelvei. a.
The continued industrial decadence
of the islands under the unfair treat
ment of the mother country and the
ever-growing menace of Cuba and Porto
Rico has again brought the question
into prominence. In this case it is the
island of st. Kits that has taken the
initiative and made some definite move.
While Jamaica, :on the principle of half
a loaf being better than no bread, in
sists on securing commercial reciprocity
with the United States, st. Kits has
come forward with a plebescite asking
for actual annexation. ---S<A.--- .,s
AS might have been expected the
West Indian newspapers as a whole,
being mostly in the hands of colored
men, to whom the very word Amer
lean is obnoxious, have denounced the
plebescite and endeavored to obscureits
significance. Under the circumstances
St. Kits has issued manifesto to the
sister colonies, setting forth their posi-
ton and furnishing seven reasons why
West Indies should seek admission into
the United States. This manifesto.
signed by the most prominent men in
the island has attracted widespread sat-
teution. and promises to bring the
whole question to an acute stage.
