CUBAN CONSTITUTION
The Subject Was Discussed at the
Cabinet Meeting Yesterday.
PRESIDENTS VIEWS ABOUT CUBA.


Washington, Feb. 9.-Among the
subjects discussed at yesterdays cabi-
net meeting were the Cuban constitu-
tion and the possible necessity for an
extra session Of congress. Attention
was called to the paragraph in the
presidents message to congress at
the beginning of the Fifty-sixth con
gress in which he said
"The new Cuba yet to arise from
the ashes of the past must needs be
bound to us by ties of similar inti-
macy and strength If its enduring
welfare is to be assured. Whatever
be the outcome, we must see to 1t
that free Cuba be Il reality, not a
name, Il perfect entity, not hasty
experiment bearing within itself the
elements of failure. Our mission is
not to be fulfilled by turning adrift
any loosely framed commonwealth to
face the yicissitudes which too often
attend the weaker states whose natu-
raj wealth and abundant resources are
offset by the incongruities Of their
political organization and the recur-
ring occasions for internal rivalres
to sap their strength and dissipate
their energies"
1t is known that these words fairly
express the present views of the presi-
dent and the members of his cabinet,
as developed at yesterdays meeting,
but whether the constitutional con
vention will view the matter in the
same light is perpleXing question.
Persons In position to be well in
formed as to the presidents purposes
believe that an extra session will he
inevitable, without congress shall
take some action with respect to
Cuba and its relation to this coun-
try. With that matter disposed Of
there is good reason to believe that
an extra session will be avoided. A
strong effort will be made to render
an extra session unnecessary, and
with this feeling the president Is in
full accord.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

"In the winter Of 1898 and 1899 !
was taken down with severe attack OF
what is called La Grippe" says +. L.
Hewett, prominent druggist ofWind-
field, III. "The only medicine used
was two bottles Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and | have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to break up a severe cold and ward
of any threatened attack Of pneu-
monia. 1t is pleasant to take too,
which makes 1t the most desirable
and ono Of the most popular prepara-
tions in use for these ailments. For

BRYAN FEARS FOR SILVER.
He Sees Danger In the Bill Before Con.
gress to Make Silver Dollar Re-
deemsble In Gold.

Washington, Feb. S.-Chairman
Southland, of the house committee on
coinage, has received from W. j. Bryan
the latter's view of the pending bills
before the house making the standard
silver dollar redeemable n gold. Mr.
Bryan says in part:
The bill has double purpose First, Ia
convert standard silver dollars into sub
sidary COIN and second, to make silver
dollars redeemable in gold demand. In
discussing the subject, however. 1t will
be more local to consider the latter prop
osition first, as redemption is only a ster
toward retirement. There is no necessity
for redemption. The legal tender law
will maintain the parity between gold
coin and silver dollars so long as both
can be used to an unlimited extent In
the payment of public revenues and prl-
vate debts. | should perhaps say that
the parity will be substantially main
tanned, for local and temporary conditions
may under any law put small premium
upon any kind of money.
Mr.. Bryan cites the premium on
silver in New York in 1893, caused by
the local demand for small change
He also cites Senator Sherman in sup
port of his statement. Proceeding
Mr.. Bryan says:
As soon as the silver dollar is made re.
deemable in gold, another endless chair
will be created and the arguments used
against the greenbacks and treasury notes
will then be turned against silver. Be-
fore the attempt TO burden the gold re.
serve with this new obligation Is con.
summated, II may be worth while to con.
sidsr the opinion expressed by Secretary
Carlisle in 1885.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. S.-0nly one fu-

WILHELMlNAWEDDED
The Queen Of Holland United to
Prince Heinrich.
DUTCH ACT LIKE HAPPY CHILDREN.
Aged Housewives and Their Husbands from
the Provinces Join Hands with Stylish
City Folks and Dance to Music
of Street Organs.

The Hague, Feb. S.-Queen Wilhel-
mina's marriage to Duke Henry, OF
Neutrality-suspicious. who yesterday
became Prince Heinrich of the Neither
lands, was huge family affair. All
Holland that could came to The
Hague to participate. Those who
stayed at their homes in other cities
and villages of the kingdom cele-
brated with parades, decorations and
banquets. Never was seen q more
beautiful and happy wedding. The
popular belief is that it is love
match, like that of Victoria and Al
bert, and this gives romantic color
ing to the event which is generally
lacking in royal marriages.
The ceremonies were the same sim
pie and unritualistic rites of the Re-
formed church by which the humblest
of Queen Wilhelmina's subjects are
married. The whole spirit of the af-
fair was plain and democratic, al
though the costly gowns and jewels
and the snowy uniforms of distin-
guished personages, high officials of
the kingdom, the army and the navy
and representatives of the people in
parliament and the municipalities fur
nished a regal stage setting. The
venerable pastor administered to the
bride and groom caution that their
high positions would not shield them
from the common sufferings and sor-
rows of humanity.
Queen Wilhelmina made a very win
ming and human bride. She blushed
and became confused over the cere-
monial with the ring, as all brides
are supposed to do, while her happi-
ness and pride over the enthusiasm Of
her people were plainly deeper than
a mere matter of form.
Prince Heinrich was an awkward
but stalwart and manly figure.
Either he was forgetful or badly
trained in the part, for the pastor had
to give him two or three hints as to
how to carry himself. Those sitting
near enough to hear the responses de-
scribe him as saying "jar, meinherr,"
when he should simply have replied
"iah."
The scene as the royal couple stood
with clasped hands before the chap
lain in circle of brilliantly arrayed
personages including their relatives
and people composing the highest
families of Holland and the neighbor-
ing German principalities was won
derfully gorgeous, the masses of va
riegated coloring rendering more ef-
fcctive the blue, gold and white
banked up against the walls of the
church. The building itself is a
cathedral in size, but is as plain as a
Quaker meeting house in its furnish
ings.
Last night the populace was like n
multitude of happy children. Thou
sands We're swarming through the
principal streets, which were nearly
impossible. blowing horns, singing
the national hymn, following the
bands and smashing hats and Ian
ferns. Aged housewives with their
husbands from the provinces
joined hands with stylish city folk
and danced 70 the music of street or
gans. There was considerable mild
hilarty inspired by wine, but no
offensive drunkenness.

GOVERNMENT "sKINNED."
Has Been Receiving Bare Ter
ritOry In Exchange for Good
Timber Districts.

Rep. Fordney, of Saginaw, as a
member OF the house committee on
public lands, has learned that in the
past four years over 100000 acres
OF land worth practically nothing
has been exchanged by railroads and
other corporations and by individu-
ais for valuable government timber
land. This was done under pro-
vision of the national forestry
act, which says that where
corporations or individuals
own land within the limits
OF a district where the government
has set aside land for forest reser-
vations, they can transfer these
lands to the government and go out
side and select other lands. The re-
suit of practical operations is that
it is generally land stripped of tim
Der that is transferred to the govern
ment and timber land that is Sc
lected in exchange. Fordney Tues
day introduced a bill repeating this
clause of the act.

Shipments Of Timber.

The figures compiled at the GUS
tom offices at Duluth and Superior
show that the total lumber ship
ments from the Duluth-Superior
harbor for the season which closed
last week, were $40, ,2O4,775 feet, as
compared with 324, 0O1, 900 feet q
year ago. Adding to the shipments
from the Duluth-Superior harbor,
those at Two Harbors, the grand
total of shipments from the head of
the lakes for the season of 1901 was
3S2, ,18O,775 feet, or 30,O00,000 feet
more than conservative estimates
made during the season. The ship
ments of lumber during the past
season have established a new
record for the head of the lakes.
