SATURDAY, MARCH "a.
MONDAY, MARCH ~.

The house put in the day on the CAL,
endar and when an adjournment was
taken IS bills had been passed. The
average time consumed in reading bill
and calling the roll was a trifle over six
minutes. Among the measures passed
were the four. bills of Senator Brewer of
Stearns relating to the management of
the state reformatory at St. Cloud.
None of the measures were of great i'm
portance.
A narrow majority of two committed
the house to the Saltwater junket on
Wednesday, notwithstanding the state
ment of Mr.. Kelly that the resolution

Gus gang that ever infested the fair
state of Minnesota"
In it's halliday session the senate did
practically nothing. The bill providing
for 10000 copies of the state blue book
was recommended to pass. The S-hour
bill was defeated in committee of the
whole, but on rising it was excepted
from the report and a motion made
that it be placed on the calendar. Sen
ator Greer moved an adjournment and
the bill was left hanging in the air. -

NEW YORK, March 30.-A special
from Washington says: AS soon as
General Otis achieves decisive victory
over Aguinaldo, the: Philippine COM
mission will issue proclamation prom
Using amnesty to all natives who, lay
down their arms and self rule to those
who recognize the sovereignty of the
United States. ....
This is tho programme which the
state department understands has been
adopted by the commission. AS Gen
eral Otis and Admiral Dewey are mem
bers of the commission, it is presumed
here that they are responsible for the
delay in issuing the proclamation, be-
ieving it's effect will be greater if pub
ished after the insurgents have been
subdued. 5.j.-.5&5
So long as Aguinaldo maintains his

but with Aguinaldo prisoner or fugi-
tive and the army disbanded, it is
thought that the proclamation will re-
ceive attention from the natives and
cause them to take advantage Of its
provisions. The proclamation will be
similar to those previously issued by
General Otis, except that it will con
tain general amnesty declaration, and
will reassert the friendly intentions of
this government. T.. j..

Representatives of the Cuban Assembly.
Have Arrived in Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Senors Jose
r. Villalon and A. Hevia, who were ap-
pointed by the Cuban assembly to pre-
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolutions of that body, have arrived
in this city. Their mission, in addi-
ton to the presentation of the resolu-
tions, is to explain in detail the situa-
ton with reference to- the insurgent
army. While the assembly did not re-
ject the 100000 which General Co.
1nez arranged with Mr.. Robert P. Por-
ter to receive and pay off the Cuban
troops, they believed it to be entirely
inadequate to meet the situation. They
desire at least $10,000,000 and as much
more as can be obtained.
Senior Villalon and and his colleague
will probably seek an audience with
the president himself, and if this is de-
MED them will see the secretary of war.
If the president receives these gentle
men it will be as visiting citizens, not
in their representative capacity. No
such recognition will be accorded them.

request to this government it will have
to go through the ordinary channels

CHICAGO, March, 30.-A special dis
dispatch to The Tribune from Omaha
credits J. Sterling Morton with the in
tention of forming a new political party
which he declares will be the greatest
political party since the, formation of

proposed new party and the side lights
likely to develop therefrom, Mr.. Morton
says:

A party will be organized July4 that
will stand for conservatism pre-emi

"No doubt the platform will contain
some elements common to all parties,
but the keynote will be conservatism.
There is a vast field for the new party's
operations. ..

ties over bimetallism, the rise, decline
and absolute decay of Populism-al]

League in: Session.
New YORK, March 30.-The central
council of the National Sound Money
league, consisting Of the vice presidents
Of the league, met in this city, reelected
the officers Of the league, listened to the
reports of officers and exchanged views
as to the ''vitality of the silver move
ment." The Western men reported
that the s:free coinage agitation was de-
clining but by no means dead" and
there was general concurrence in the
view of Secretary Gage, expressed in a
letter, that ''it would be wise for the
sound money forces to hold themselves
in line to oppose any fresh attack of the
kind which was so successfully resisted
in the fall of 1896" ::
Some Of the delegates pointed out
that though free silver had been de-
feated the currency system had not
been perfected. The work of the league
will continue.

Consolidation of Administrative
Departments in Cuba De-
~9 cided Upon:

WASHINGTON, March 80. AT the spe-
cial cabinet meeting variety of sub
jects were considered, including num-
Der Of questions which have arisen dur
ing the two weeks Of the presidents
absence in the South. The administra-.
ton of affairs in Cuba came up and it
was practically decided to simplify mat
ters by consolidating some of the ad-
ministrative departments. The ques-
ton of amending the civil service rules
and regulations in certain particulars
was under consideration, and the presi-
dent stated that he desired to. dispose of
the matter at an early day. Almost the
last thing the president did before leav-
ing for the South was to return to the
members Of the cabinet their several
recommendations on the subject with a
request that they again go over them
with a view to making any changes
which might suggest themselves dur
ing his absence. The president
has asked that he be furnished
with their conclusions in the matter
as soon as possible, and it is supposed
that it is his. purpose to issue his orders
within a few days. It was again dem
onstrated at this meeting Of the cabinet
that while strongly upholding the prin-
ciples Of the civil service law, there is
disposition on the part of several men,
bers to criticize it's present adninistra-
ton. The subject of the appointment
OF commissioners to represent the
United States at the Forthcoming con-
vention called by the car of Russia,
with a view to promoting peace among
the nations was advanced by the presi-
dent. 1t is understood that: three am
bassadors of the United States at Euro
pean courts will be named, together
with two or three citizens Of the United
States not in the diplomatic service. The
personnel Of the commission has not yet
been definitely decided. The new
Nicaragran canal commission which
was provided for in the last river and
harbor bill also was discussed, and it is
not unlikely that the members. will be
named very soon. The question of rails
ing an additional force Of volunteers to
go to the Philippines was not mentioned
at the meeting, and it is not thought
that the president has any such purpose
in view at this time Postmaster Gen
eral Emory Smith, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, told of his observa,
tions there and it was upon his sugges.
ton that several Of the Cuban admins.
