ton and places q most Seri0us aspect
upon the problem confronting congress-.
The charter is due here early next
week. It will contain none Of the pro-
visions defining relationship with the
United States suggested by Gen. Wood.
Objection is raised to the establish
ment Of coaling stations on the Cuban
coast. and in every respect the Cuban
constitution will be a strictly Cuban
affair, framed to please the ultra-inde-
pendent faction. which dominated the
proceedings at Havana.
An extra session of congress will be
called two weeks after the expiration
of the Fifty-sixth session unless con-
gress performs fast work between now
and March 4. A number of Republican
senator's, known as the steering COM
mittee, met yesterday in Presiding Of
ficer Frye's chamber and discussed the
Cuban situation in all it's phases. This
conference revealed an almost hopeless
tangle. Every individual member of
the senate appears to entertain his own
views The fact that the Cubans do
not propose to yield gracefully, if at
all, to the proposition urged by the ad-
ministration convinces the leaders of
both houses that no action can be
taken or the Cuban situation during
this session.

she stayed afloat for half an hour after
she struck. The confusion occasioned
~ such an incident is intense, and it
s not surprising to find that there Is
A Lack of Unanimity
as to the length of time the vessel
remained above water.
The wreck lies about three-fourths of

4 thousand yards off the rocky shore.
The smokestack and portion of the
upper works of the i'll fated steamer

aicting stories concerning the fate of
Capt. Ward. The steward of the Rio
says that he stood beside the captain
when the vessel went down. Two 9TH
err survivors say they also saw the
captain to the last, but Frederick Lind
strom, the quartermaster officer of the
Rio, emphatically declared that Capt.
Ward emulated Admiral Trion, of Her
Majesty's Ship Victoria, in going down
to his cabin, where he met his doom
behind a locked door.
Capt. Frederick w. Jordan, the pilot
Of the Rio, was rescued by an Italian
fishing boat.

Lord Salisbury's Interest In Public
Affairs Said to he Lapsing.
New York, Feb. 24.-Rumors about
the retirement of Lord Salisbury are
persistently circulated, says the Trib-
une's London correspondent, but are
clearly premature. His health is not
materially worse, but his interest in
public life has lapsed since he aban-
doned the foreign office. He seems to
have relegated to Mr.. Balfour already
the prime minister's duty of waiting
upon the sovereign, and this is con-
sidered by some political experts as a
sign that the nephew will succeed the
uncle. The strongest leader on the
Unionist side is Mr.. Chamberlain, and
the longer Mr.. Salisbury remains in Of
flee the more difficult will it be to keep
down the pushful conmoner.

| Washington, Feb. 22.-Yesterday was;
another field day in the house. Two
distinct sensations occurred. EARLY in
The day during the consideration of an
amendment to the deficiency appro-
oriation bill to prevent hazing at the
aaval academy Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa
Used exceedingly strong language while
lnveighing against the practice of hnz-
,ng charging by indirection that the
nabits. of tyranny and oppression
formed by the officers Of the army and
navy at their academies was response
ole for the refusal Of sailors to enlist
IN the navy and for the large num-
GER of assertions from the army.
Moreover, he alleged that the officers
stood by each other when in trouble,
saying that the commanders of twenty
Ave vessels of the navy lost since the
civil war, had, with one exception, es-
capped with slight punishment Mr..
Cannon of Illinois and Mr.. Dayton OF
West Virginia warmly defended the
navy.
The stir caused by Mr.. Hepburn's
speech, however, was mild compared
with the row which was kicked up
later over some items in the bill for
SAIIa COIupG1lSdItCu W 01AplOySS Va tiAS
house. Mr.. Dinsmore Of Arkansas eX-
posed the fact that one of the employees
Of the house While occupying one po-
sition was drawing salary for another.
and that the difference between the
salaries was to be made up in one OF
the items in the bill. This led to Il
general ventilation of the domestic af-
fairs of the house, during which MIR.
Bailey of Texas declared that the sit
uation was scandal upon the integ-
rity of the house. He charged that
there We're employees of the house who
were dividing their salaries with 9TH
ers who performed no work, and chal-
lenged any one on the other side to
deny his allegations. At the close OF
the session Mr.. Bailey offered reso-
luton for the appointment of an in
vestigation committee which was re-
ferred to the committee on rules upon
the assurance of Mr.. Payne. the ma
jority leader, that it would be reported
at once.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill, the last of the appropriation bills,
was passed.
| In the Senate.
For nearly two hours the senate had
under discussion resolution by Mr.,
Jones of Arkansas to discharge the Jul
dietary committee from further con-
sideration of the antitrust bill passed.
by the house at the last session and to
bring it before the senate for consid-
Grafton. To some extent the merits OF
the measure were discussed. The res
olution finally went to the calendar.
During the remainder of the afternoon
the postoffice appropriation bill was
under discussion. After prolonged
contest the appropriation for pneu-
matte tube service was eliminated en-
tirely. The old controversy over the
special appropriations for fast mail
service engaged attention the rest OF
the day.
