CABINET WATCHING
 FOR CUBAN REPORT
Party at San Francisco Anxious to See Action of the
 Commission

San Francisco, May 20-The President and members of the cabinet are watch ing with interest the report of the Cuban commission which visited Washington presented to the constitutional conven- tion today. Secretary Root has kept the President fully advised of the move ments in Havana, and the President is in communication with leading Senators on the subject The question of this Government acceptance of the action of the constitutional convention as "substantial' compliance with the terms of the Platt amendment will, of course not be formally raised until the consti- tutional convention acts upon reponts submitted to 1t, but there Is good reason to believe that the members of the cabi- net here are satisfied with the develop ments.
 The majority report is considered a virtual acceptance of the Platt amend ment, and the minority report could per- haps be interpreted as stronger protest designed to meet the demands of local sentiment In Cuba and save the face" of its authors.
 Public questions which arise are being daily discussed by the President with tn members of the cabinet. No formal cabi- net meetings are being held at the Scott residence, but matters relating to the various branches of the government are talked over informally. Secretary Hay and other members of the cabinet will re- main with the President until Mrs. Me- Kinley is able to travel and they will all go East together. The physicians have not yet been able to fix a date when Mrs. Mckinley will be strong enough to make the trip, but week Is their present ap- proximation.

ANTI-eAMBLlNe ACT.
Judge Duffie Upholds Validity of the
 Law in Arkansas.

Hot Springs, Ark, May 20. = Circuit Judge Duffie today upheld the validity of the drastic anti-gambling act passed by the recent Legislature. The law was at tackled principally on the ground that it contravened public policy in rewarding in- formers with half the fines assessed and would cause strife and i'll feeling between neighbors. The court held that the part given to the informer is not penalty, but a part of the fine assessed against defendant for violation of the criminal laws, and that the Legislature may do this to secure enforcement of the crim- inal laws of the State if 1t sees proper. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court

PHILADELPHIA ASSEMBLY
 DISCUSSES THE cANTEEN

Philadelphia May 2o.-The annual re- port of the permanent committee on temperance made today to the Presby- terian General Assembly calls attention to the abolition of the army canteen. The report states in part:
 '1, On the part of the army saloon were quoted some ministers, archbishops and bishops. Over against these Senator mittee, than an almost unanimous vote had been given against the beer canteen by the general assembly of the Presby- terian church, representing 100000 com municants, and approximately 100000 adherents; and he declared that the vast number of letters and petitions pouring in upon members of the Senate afforded indisputable proof that the churches in general are of the same mind"
 The committee suggests that the Gov ernment establish some substitute for the canteen. Regarding the liquor traffic the committee reports that, with the ex- ception that the Taft commission has re- duced the number of saloons, no other steps have been taken toward fighting this grievous wrong" The committee makes two recommendations, as follows:
 Tn all license States where as yet an effort for state wide prohibition of the right of every local community to ex- ception from the saloon nuisance, upon the demand of its citizens or a majority thereof
 "In all prohibition states and in counties, towns or wards, where the peo- pie have declared against the saloon, the issue of the internal revenue tax re- ceipt virtual arrays the federal power against the people and on the side of the law-breaker Let earnest protest be made against this injustice, and by cor respondence with other bodies let their help be sought in simultaneous effort for such notifications of the United States revenue laws as shall reach this wrong.
 On Education.
 The report of the committee on educa- ton referring to the statement in the board s report that the number or stu dents for the ministry showed decrease from the. previous year said:
 This state of affairs is alarming. What must the church do to increase the num- Der of her candidates for the ministry? Here Is a problem which must be met and solved at once. The ministry is not over crowded. The supply of ministers is not equal to the demand of the church. Christian young men are turning their attention to law, medicine, journalism, teaching and are neglecting the claims of the gospel ministry. Let the church dis cover the reason for this and then remove the difficulty where 1t is possible
 A resolution was adopted deprecating the action of the directors of the Pan- American Exposition in opening the gates on Sunday and earnestly urging the clos ing of the exposition on that day.
 The report of the committee judicial commissions was discussed but the hour for adjournment having arrived. the sub ject was placed on the docket and is not likely to again be taken up until after the revision question is settled.
 Greetings were exchanged with the Southern Presbyterian general assembly now in session at Little Rock.
