A Texas Congre.sman In Cuha.


The following is taken from story which
the Philadelphia Press prints under a
Pittsburg date line concerning the travels
of a Texas Congressman in Cuba last
winter:
Congressman James r. Slayden of
Texas, while in Cienfuegos, was stopped by
a representative of the Diario Cubano one
of the leading Cuban papers OF that city
and asked about the Plat amendment
which had at that time just been passed
Congressman Slayden asked the news
paper man what Cuba going to do IN
regard to the amendment The reporter ie-
piled that that question seemed 10 be up te
the constitutional eonx anton. then sitting
in Havana.
- But, said SIayden i want to know
your opinion about IT. What do you and
your friends about the country think OF the
Plat amendmentY
" We don't think was the reply.
That is where you are wrong, said
Slayden. You should refuse to accept it
You should promptly defy Congress and re-
fuse 10 embody the Plat amendment In
your constitution. The Plat amendment

Is a weak man, and he does not dare to try
coercion II the Cubans refuse TO submit TO
the amendment II the Cubans should only
do as l suggest he would quickly find some
way to have the objectionable law got out

The correspondent Of the Press to whom
this information came referred IL to Con-
gresham DaizeA whose home is in Pitts
burg aud that gentleman confessed to hay
ing heard substantially the same thing
during his trip to Cuba last spring Mr.
Daizeil moreover, remarked on the extra
ordinary character of the deiiyeranee, and
declared that Mr. Slayden. If he had been
correctly quoted. owed the country. and

The Strike.

The week closes with the steel strike in
a situation which suggests a crisis. II the
workers at Milwaukee reconsider their de-
termination not to strike. under the infiu-
enCs of Vice President Tighe Of the Anal
81 mated. in the light of the expulsion Of
the Chicago lodge, the cause Of the strik-
ers will be materially strengthened and the
example thus set may spread rapidly to
other eenters of the industry. In such
event. according to todays advices from
The Stars STAFF correspondent at Pitts
burg, there is reasonable prospect of SYM
pathetic strikes which will most seriously
affect the business of the country. If, on
the other hand, the Milwaukee men do not
reconsider. but stand by their disinclina-
ton TO strike. the cause of the Amalga-
mated will be weakened and the peace eff
forts of the conservatives in both ranks
will be reinforced. Hints of dangerous
friction are to be heard from various quar-
tiers, particularly from Mounesen, where
the trust is now planning to start idle
tin plant Monday morning. The strain
there is intense and trouble may occur at
any moment, SO keen is the determination
OF the strikers to prevent the non-union
men from working. There is apparently
less reason at this end of the week to ex-
pect the early collapse of the strike than
when the week opened. The general order
has not TO be sure, resulted in a complete
waik-out of the union men and the defec-
tions have been seriously prejudiciai to the
prestige of the Amalgamated. but the or
ganization has demonstrated its persist
ence and has gained Roadway against
heavy odds, performance calculated to
infuse the strikers with enthusiasm. There
is no mistakng the serious apprehension
Of the business interests, which have al
ready suffered from the partial tie-up of
this great industry and must eventually, in
case of its prolongation, suffer the greatest
loss of all.

The Austrian papers fully expect THAT n
the new duties on food are accepted by the
German parliament there will be a tariff
war between Austria and the German en-
pire. The first effect Of the proposals has
been to ALLEVIATE the sympathies of the
strong German party In Austria, and the
second to bring Hungary into line with the
ciericals in questioning the value of the
triple alliance. The total result is disas-
trous for Germany, and 1t is possible that
the duties may be feeonsidered. but most
unlikely. The agrafians really desire proili-
bition, and they can destroy any govern
ment which rejects their demands. They
are told very clearly that they are weak
entng the government, which protects
them against the liberals, but they reply
that free trade in cereals and meat viii
ruin them, and that, happen what may,
they will not be ruined. There is some ex-
aggeration IN the attitude of both parties.
but the whole business furnishes unpleas-
ant proof Of the extent to which economic
considerations now rule in politics. Glasses
on the continent like nations, now postpone
every consideration to a savage fear of
growing poor.

Mr. whitney Mr. German, and Mr.. Wat
terson met at the Whitney cottage in Sara
toga last night and spent some time to-
gether. Naturally the meeting attracted
attention 1t is the era of conferences
among democratic leaders The party is
divided. and if possible must be reunited
Asked after the meeting was over about
the subjects that had been discussed. Mr.
Watterson dismissed the matter with a
humorous reply. One mans guess there
fore is good as anothers.
Let us suppose that the subject of lead
er for 1904 was brought up. Mr.. Whitney's
own name is now and then mentioned. But
would he fill the bill? Could the party
trumpet very loudly about trusts, or in IA
vor of an income tax. under such a leader?
As to expansion, Mr.. Whitney's position Is
not so we'll known. For some years he has
been giving mis- whole time successfully to
expanding his private fortune. Does he
applaud in Uncle Sam what he himself has
shown conspicuously such talents for?
Let us turn then to the subject of plat
form. Was an agreement reached as to
that? Mr.. Watterson is a free trader. Mr.
Whitney and Mr.. German are protection
lists At the ST. Louis convention Of 1883
Mr.. German appeared on the scene with a
tariff plank, which had been approved by
Mr.. Cleveland, crawfshing on the free
trade message to Congress in December.
1887. MIR. Watterson defeated Mr.. German
for the Craftsmanship of the committee on
resolutions and held the party UP to the
message. Mr.. Watterson helped to frame
the free trade platform of 1892 upon which
the democracy returned to power. When
the party was called upon to redeem that
platform with legislation, Mr.. German.
against the protests of the whole free
trade contingent, made the campaign prom
ises ridiculous.
Mr. Watterson is an expansionist. 1t de-
lights him TO believe that the American
flag is fixture In our new possessions. He
grows indignant at the bare suggestion of
hauling it down. He enthuses over new
markets for American products as do the
manufacturers themselves. Mr.. German is
anti-expansion. He advised against the
ratification of the Paris treaty. and thought
the whole course of the administration on
that subject a mistake In all probability
he stands with those who would be
willing to swap the Philippines for a gray
mule, and then shoot the mule.
The Saratoga conference was small as to
numbers, but large enough to illustrate
some of the difficulties that confront the
democracy at the present time. and to show
that work looking to reunion has not been
begun too soon. and cannot be too yigor-
ously pushed.
