cUBANs DISCUSS THE PLAN.
Deeply Impressed With senate Com
mittec's Recommen da lions.

Havana, Feb 25.-The Cuban Constitu-
tionaI Convention met in executive ses-
sion this afternoon and discus ed the
question of the future relations between
Cuba and the United states. 1t was
evident that the delegates were deeply
impressed with the recommendations Of
the United States Commi tee on Rela-
tons with Cuba, cabled from Washing
ton. When Senior Nunez was asked his
opinion he said:
That settles it. If the United States
government insists on naval stations
have nothing to say
. The report OF the special Committee Oh
Relations declared that any scheme of
relations accepted by the convention could
not bind the future republic, and must be
approved by the Cuban Congress. The
members of the committee were unanl.
nous on this point. The report was rather
IN the nature of suggestions, showing no
substantial variation from the forecast
already cabed.
Senior Nunez introduced a resolution that
the convention should appoint a commit
tee either to go to Washington or 10
meet q committee from the United States
Congress, to discuss the question. This
proposal was not favored by a majority
Of the delegates, but no action was taken
upon It. The general discussion was adj
journed until tomorrow.

who pelted him with eggs in vartous

magistrate fined the chief offender SIS an
costs. This the students made up by con-
trhutiea. and when Sehu.man again APP
peared he was roughly treated, Again the
courts fined two more students. Then the
students burned the offending magistrate
in effigy and Schurman stayed home. To-
day, escorted by several policemen In

TO ESCAPE EXTRA SESSION.
Democrats May Agree to Cuban and
Philippine Amendments

Washington. D. c., Feb. 25.-President
Mckinley has finally persuaded Congress
to share with him the responsibility of
fixing policy for the government of the
Philippines and Cuba. Temporary it may
be- but nevertheless, the President has
probably gained his point and convinced
Congress that unless it goes on record on
these two great problems, that he win
call them back to Washington in extra ses-
sion.
To-day's developments show conclusive
Is that there is disposition on the part
of congressman to avoid an extra session
IL possible. The amendments 10 the army
appropriation bill, relative to CUBA aud
the Philippines, presented to-day, may be
slightly modified, but in substance, they
form the basis for an agreement which
viii give the President authority to adj
minister the affairs in those islands, uu-
til a more definite plan of action can be
reached. This is all the President has
been striving for. He has insisted that
some further declaration by Congress
should be made in connection with the
Philippines and Cuba. He was specially
anxious for Congress to divide with him
the responsibility in Cuba. Tonight the
indications are that Congress will comply
with his request in this particular
The Democratic senators opened up
strong fight against this Phil
ippine provision. and Senator
Money of Mississippi is authority
for the statement that at least twenty
five speeches are TO be made on tn S prop
osition. Senator Bacon introduced an
amendment providing that no franchises
shall be granted In the Phil ppine Islands
without first being passed upon by Con-
gress. and also that no laws shall be en-
acted for the sands without first re-
ceiving congressional apprsvl This
amendment is in the language Of the law
enacted for the government of Porto
Rico. and shou have no opposition. but
there are evidences that certain influ-
ences back of this leg Station are being
exercised for the purpose of securing
franchises which Congress would never
grant.
Early in the day there seemed to be a
disposition on the Democ at C side to ac-
quiesce in all of the demands of the Re
publicans, and the Republican leaders ex-
pressed their confidence that the desire
of Democrats to prevent an extra ses-
sion and their desire TO secure the pas
sage of the river and harbor hi would
force them to allow an early vote both
upon the Philippine and the Cuban prop
osltions Later, however, es the fight
warmed UP there were evidences
that some of the Democratic
leaders are ready to fight the Philippine
amendment to the end, even II II involves
the defeat OF the army appropriation bill
and a responsibility for on extra session.

vigor, and vehemence declared that no

THE EXPOSITION BILLS.
Congressman Elliot Ties II Up In
the House and ST. Louis
Friends Are Sore.

Washington, Feb. 25.-There is tie-up
in the House OF Representatives over the
St. Louis Exposition bill. which carries
the 1illuan amendment in behalf of the
Charleston Exposition. The present stat
us of the bill Is not at all satisfactory
to the st, Louis people, who claim that
the Charlestonians, through the efforts CT
Senator Tillman aud Representative Lat
inner, took an undue advantage of them
by dove-tailing the Oh Psston Exposition
into the st. Louis project.
When the st. Louis bill came back 10
the House with the Charleston amend
ment attached Representative Tawney
endeavored to have the hill referred to
conference 1t was his intention, " pos
sible, to induce the conterees to drip the
Charleston amendment aud let the SSt.
Louis appropriation stand alone. When
the proposition was made for unanimous
consent TO suspend a pending special
order to enable the St L4uls DIl 10 oe
considered, Representative Elliot OBJ
jected. So that the bill, instead of go
Ing to tho conference committee, viii
have to go back to the calendar to be
called up at some future time.
There is a conflict OF opinion as to what
Col. Elliott's intentions were. Some of
the Charleston people say he is ready TO
resent what he terms interference with
matters in his district by Senator Till
man and Mr.. Latiner. 1t is claimed that
had the bill been allowed to go to con.
ference, the st, Louis people might have
accepted the Charleston amendment rath-
er than cause further delay, and the pos
sibiity of having to make their fight over
again to get ST. Louis taken care of in
the sundry civil or deficiency APP
preparation bill. To-day. 1t is
understood Col Elliot expressed a
willingness to withdraw his objection
and allow the bill to go to conference.
Speaker Henderson, however. is said TO
be incensed at the action of Col. Elliot
and refuses to recognize Mr.. Tawney TO
call up the bill again.
At the present writing 1t looks as
though the st. Louis bill is in a danger
GUS condition. Speaker Henderson was
originally opposed to the bill and the adj
dition of the Charleston amendment has
not improved 1t in his estimation. There
is strong sentiment in the House In
favor of granting the proposed appropria-
ton TO Charleston, and there is am over
whelming sentiment in the same
body in favor of the ST. Louis proposition.
If the question is submitted to the House,
it will undoubtedly carry. The friends of
Charleston, realizing that they occupy
strong position in tying up to the st.
Louis project, are disposed to continue
on that line until some better and more
acceptable programme is devised IL
the speaker insists on smothering the
st. Louis bill, as amended. the fight will

the friends of st. Louis and Charleston
