CUBAN DELEGATES UNCERTAIN.
Many Talk of Resigning From the
Constitutional Convention.

HAVANA, March THE Constitutional
Convention has apparently nos decided
what it will do. Some OF the delegates
talk of resgning unless the Washington
Government offers to treat with the con-
vention Others consider that the logical
course is to continue and formulate an
election law. while still others show dis
position to return to their homes and talk
matters over with their constituents.
General Wood has handed to Senior Ca
pote, president of the convention, a copy
of the Platt resolution. The delegates ap-
pear to have become calmer. 1t is said
ton that Congress would yield explain the
action of that body by saying that false
press and other reports were sent to the
United States, which deceived the people
regarding the real desires of the Cubans
and the actual condition of affairs here.
Probably the cynical readiness of the del
egateS to believe that the American Ad-
ministration was composed of tricksters
caused them to believe the statements
made to them. In an article on the con-
servatives the "Diario de la Marina says
that the intervening Government cannot
call them to power. as this would only pro-
woke mutiny among the turbulent crowd
whose passions have been much aroused
The intervening Government would only

President Mckinley.

In the midst of the mutifarious cele-
brations which attend the beginning Of a
new term in the White House for Presi-
dent Mckinley, it may well be noted that
the heartiness of these rejoicings is due
in great measure to the personal qualities
of the President himself 1t is safe to say
that not in the last twenty-five years has
there been a President so personally popu-
lar in Washington.
For quarter Of century Mr.. McKin-
ley has been known In this city, and always
pleasantly. As a Representative he took a
considerable part in the social life Of the
Capital, and by his tact, unfailing anna
bility and sunny temper. won friends for
himself year 10y year These friends, dur
ing his term in the White House, have
not been forgotten by him, and he has
been the same sort Of acquaintance and
friend while President that he was when
a Congressman. II has been truly said
that the only way to have a friend is to
be one, and shrewd observers have
remarked with equal truth that it is the
small things which count. Mr.. Mckinley
has the gift of paying attention to those
small things, and showing himself friend
ly. when many other men fail to produce
that impression.
one of the things which most OF those
who have come in contact with him have
noted is his ability to refuse a request in
such a way that no offence is given. There
have been men-though they are some
what rare-of whom 1t could be stated
that they said no in such a way as to
give the impression that they were say
ing yes" and demanded a favor with a
manner which led the person addressed
to feel that they conferred one. Mr.. Nc
kinley is one Of those men. His tact is
consummate and by its means he makes
the kindlness Of his spirit and the sunny
serenity of his temper appreciated at their
full value. There are men, just as kindly
just as sunny and serene. who cannot
do this, and go through life unappreci-
ated and unconsidered. It is an art, and
one so rare as TO deserve special comment
There is perhaps no more valuable pos
session in the whole range of human
qualities than the quick perception and
good Judgment which lead their fortunate
owner never to do an ungracious thing
and never to miss the opportunity Of do
ing a gracious one. In social life this
makes a man or woman leader. and one
of those leaders whose influence is benefl-
cent There has never been a time in
the last twenty-five years when the White
House was more the centre OF pleasant
and gracious hospitality and happy So
cial life than during the last four years

The. entire population of Washington
was out of doors yesterday, for the 'pur-
pose of seeing men march along the
street, clad in uniform, and waving flags,
to escort from the White House to the
Capitol and back again Two men in citi-
zens' dress This may seem "A trivial pro-
ceeding. Many people deprecate anything
like enthusiasm for military display and
parade They consider it silly. But it is
hardly that, when one thinks of it in all
its phases.
Mankind is fed on symbolism. 1t is a
language, as expressive as that Of speech
The colors of the flag and of the soldiers
uniform, stir in the heart an emotion as
legitimate and as little to he deprecated
as that aroused by the grandest of peror-
atoms from the most eloquent orator. or
the most solemn of declarations in writ
ten speech Symbolism appeals more di-
rectly as music does, to the elemental
feelings of mankind: that is all. The
feelings aroused by noble words are no
less emotionalism than those aroused by
noble music, or the fItter of a flag; the
only difference is that one kind Of emo
ton is articulate and the other may not
be. The nobility of the emotion depends
on the man who feels it.
To one American, for example, the flag
may mean little or nothing. To another
it may mean license. not liberty. To
another it may signify the right OF the
strongest TO rule. To still another. who
looks forward to the future of the Re
public, instead of backward to its mis-
takes, the Stars and Stripes mean the
ideal which some. if not all. OF the fathers
of the country had in mind-a land where
all men would be equal in opportunity,
where none should be oppressed, and all
should share alike in the common re-
sources which are no mans birthright
more than another's. 1t means, not an
accomplished fact. but an ideal toward
which all must strive. IL dies not mean
that Americans are all worthy Of a birth
right in this ideal, but that the ideal ex-
lists, and will some day be realized. In
the eighteenth century the three magic
words, liberty, fraternity. and equality,
echoed through the world like the tabled
name of Solomon, and men dreamed of
Republics to be born. But there was no
ring of Solomon which could summon
troops of genii. and there is no magic
whereby the true Republic can be built.
We have seen marvcls greater than those
of the Arabian Nights, wrought not by
genii, but by the spirit of modern inyen-
tion. What man conceived as a fairy
tale, man has done by the power of
thought. The ideal foreshadowed in the
eighteenth century may yet come to pass,
and it is toward that that the world is
struggling, through many reactions, fail
