Eros Has Big Satellite.

One of the most recent discoveries
regarding the planet Eros is that it ia
most probably accompanied by satel-
lite nearly as large as itself. This was
first pointed out by DR.. Oppolzer, who
detected variability of about mag
nitude in luminosity of the planet in
the period of a few hours. It has since
been confirmed by the observations OF
two French astronomers.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Cabinet Members Discuss ProbnbiIi-
ties of au Ex Era Session.

The attention Of the President and men,
bers of the Cabinet was chiefly occupied
at their meeting yesterday with consid-
Grafton of the Cuban question. The dis
cussion was chiefly upon the suggestion
which has been made by Senator Plat of
Connecticut, Chairman of the Committee
on Relations with Cuba. that Congress
pass a resolution defin ng the relations OF
this Government TO the island incident to
the withdrawal OF the troops and the
adoption of the Cuban constitution. AS
heretofore stated the Cuban constitution
IN ght be submitted to this Government in
such a form that itwould be satisfactory to
the Administration and convincing to the
President SO that he would feel warranted
in ordering the withdrawal OF the troops
and turning over the island to the people
In view of the questions of commercial
relations with this country, the possible
application for a protectOrate and nu-
merous other matters, such contingency
is considered improbable. 1t is believed
that unless the constitution is submit ed
before March 4 and some action taken by
the present Congress, the President will
call an extra session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress Immediately afser the beginning
of his new term. The Cabinet, while TAX
ing no decisive action yesterday. was
nevertheless very favcrably disposed to-
ward the proposal made by Senator Plat.
The opinion was emphatically expressed
that the quest On OF the relations OF Cuba
and the United States when forced on
the Cubans by the proposed resolution
will prove far more serious bone Of
contention at Havana than the Cuban
question has yet proved to be at the
Cuban capital. The belief was expressed
that the resolution would consume long
time in discussion at Havana and the
fear is that the questions involved in that
resolution could not be disposed of there
for many weeks or months. member CT
the Cabinet said yesterday afternoon that
Congress would certainly be called to-
gether some time between March and
the beginning of the next regular session
unless a satisfactory solution Of the Gu
ban question can be reached within the
next two or three weeks.

THE LETTER OF MR.. WI.
The Chinese Minister Criticised for
Attacking General Otis.

For the first time since his residence
here Mr.. WI Ting7fang. the Chinese Min
lister to the United States. is in the bad
graces OF the American Government
There is a general opinion in Administra-
ton circles that hr. WI went too far and
violated his rights as a foreign repre-
sentative in his criticism of Mai
Cen E. S. Otis in letter declining to at
tend the dinner to General Otis by the
Society of the Genesee in New York
Thursday night. Mr.. Wu's statement that
General Otis committed an egregious
error in prohibiting immigra ion Of
Chinese into the Philippines and that
General Otis acted upon the ill-advice
of some one." is resented by high off,
Gals, one of whom declared that the
Chinese Minister had made "a very bad
break. a repetition of which might tar
nish an otherwise brilliant diplomatic "a
reer.'
So far no action has been taken by the
Government in regard to the letter. 1t
was limited yesterday by officials that the
matter would pass unnoticed unless some
body made complaint against Mr. WI.
In that event the Government would feel
compelled to do something There is
some disposition to criticise the commit
tee in charge of the dinner for giving out
the letter. but now that 1t has been print
ed in the press, the mischief cannot be
undone by any explanation of the Society
of the Genesee.
Officials of the Government say that
even If Mr.. Wu's criticisms of General
Otis were justified, he had no right to
make them, as General Otis is a public
officer of the United States and the action
for which he is censured by the Chinese
Minister was taken while be was per-
forming public duties. II is asserted that
General Otis was justified in excluding
Chinese from admission to the Philip
pines. The statement is made by his
supporters in Administration circles
that he did not act under authority of he
Chinese Exclusion laws, but exercised his
authority as supreme military comm nder
in the field. to exclude persons whom he
considered a menace to law and order.
After General Otis issued his exclusion
order Minister WI protested against IL
to the State Department and General Otis
was called on by the War Department to
give his reasons for taking that action.
General Otis telegraphed in response that
the exclusion was necessary for military
reasons. He excused his action upon the
ground that there were two factions OF
Chinese in Manila, who were likely to en-
gage in bloody ARRAYS at any time and
the addition of more Chinese to their
ranks increased the danger. OF disturb
ances, which might throw Manila into
turmoil and result in advantage t. the
insurgents. He had therefore deemed it
necessary to prohibit any more Chinese
from entering the Philippines. The Gov
eminent approved General Otis action.
SO that Minister Wu's criticism of Cen
eral Otis is regarded also as refec-
ton on the Administration.
No diplomatic representative has the
right to criticise the Government to which
he is accredited. and for doing that which
Mr.. WI has done, other foreign represen-
tatives have been sent home.

STRAUSS FAREWELL CONCERT.
4 Cordial Welcome Extended to the
"WaItz King" mt the National

The largest audience that has attended
any OF the three concerts given by the
Strauss Orchestra in this city was at the
National Theatre yesterday afternoon, to
listen to an especially delightful pro-
gramme, which consisted for the greater
part of selections that had been heard at
the previous local appearances of the
Viennese conductor.
Herr Strauss showed the effects of being
in a railroad collision on Thursday night
in the shape of a badly injured right arm,
which ne was compelled to carry in a
baEdage. directing the musicians with his
left arm, and displaying an ambideXterity
that was very surprising. The more popu-
lar numbers OF the programme proved to
he the compositions Of the Strauss fam
ily and of these none was more enthu-
siastically applauded than the dainty
"Pizzicato Polka played as an encore to
the ''Weiner Blut' waltz. Another partIcu-
larly pleasing selection was 'LOin dU
Bal" given in response TO a demand for
= repetition of Eduard Strauss polka
Hearty and Sensible" As on the occasion
of each previous performance OF the
Strauss organization in Washington, the
ever popular and rhythmical "BIue Dam
ube" waltz was interpreted by the orches-
ira with a swing and brilliancy that have
been rarely equaled by any other body
of mTsicians
