Cuban independence.
Call for united action.

Havana, April I9.-General Rius
Rivera, Secretary of Agriculture,
Industry and Commerce, has written
a letter calling upon political parties
of all shades to unite in order to
present united front to the Gov
ernment and people of the United
States in demanding that the year
1901 shall be devoted to the for
nation of an Independent govern
ment for Cuba, which shall begin
to act on its own responsibility after
the end Of 1901.
Senor Collazo says: General
Riyela's idea is impracticable. j
the CRbans are not unanimous in
determining to back up their dem
and by unanimous rebellion, ther
they ought not to demand unanim-
ously, because to demand unanim-
ously and then to be refused is to bG
humiIliated.n

Senator Allison for
Vice President.

ley favors him.

One of the friends of Senator Wi
liam B. Allison of Iowa is authori.
ty, according to a Washington ,les.
patch for the statement that he has
been selected by Mr.. Mckinley as
his running mate.
President Mckinley believes that
he will carry New England and the
Middle States. 1t has long been
known that he was anxious to secure
the cooperation of some strong man
from the trans-MissiSsippi region to
aid in carrying the States bewteen
the Mississippi River and the Pacific
ocean.
For more than month he has
been urging Senator Allison to take
second place. But Senator Allison
has been a Presidential candidate
himself.
Senator Allison has frequently
said to his friends that lie would NOT
be a candidate for election for a
sixth term in the Senate if he
should encounter serious opposition.
He now knows that a bitter fight
is ahead of him if he seeks re-elec-
tion.

National Committeeman for Iowa,

year TO succeed Senator Gear The

In addition to the strength or Mr..

must encounter, he has incurred the

A Chance For The
Nicaragua Canal Bill.
Renewed Hope Of Success.


which the United States House of
Representatives passed the Near
aqua Canal Bill, nearly seven to
one, has revived the hopes of the
friends OF the enterprise and from
now ON until the end of the session
every effort will undoubtedly be
made, and no stone left inturned to
secure its passage by the Senate, thus
insuring its becoming law, as the
President will certainly sign it, he
having committed himself in its
favor in his annual message at the
opening of Congress.
The struggle to get the bill through
the House of Representatives has
been a long and hard one, and
Representative Hepburn of Iowa,
who has had charge OF it deserves
all the credit and praise which is
being freely accorded to him by the
American press.
In spite of the large majority in
its favor on the final vote, the great
trouble has been to get it up for
consider alton. This was finally
accomplished by means of special
rule, put through by the Committee
on Rules in response to a petition
signed by large majority of the
members of the House.
The eyes of all friends of the Canal
project are now turned upon the
Senate. There is no such expedite
Onary means in that body of securing
consideration and vote on a measure
as the method resorted to in the
House. There is every reason to
believe that the bill would pass if q
vote could be reached upon it. But
it Is now near the end of the session.
Agreements have been made for the
taking up of other measures, and
above all the regular annual ap.
preparation hills, whose passage is, Of
course, a necessity, will press fol-
consideration, and will have the right
of way over all other legislation OF
qcbatever form. AS soon as these
bills are all passed Congress will
Immediately adjourn.
In addition there are many Sen.
atOrs who do not believe the bill
should he passed until some action
has been had on the Hay Pauncef-
Orte Treaty; others thai no Congress
sional action should be taken until
tseWalker Commission has reported
The hill may pass, but with all
the obstacles in the way. it no "
seems improbable. AT the same
time, it has gained this much in
having gone through the House, that
IL will be already for the Senate to
take up next session.
