CABINET DISCUSSES CUBA.
President Regards Prompt Action on
This and the Philippines BiII
as Very Important.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The cabinet meet
ing to-day was devoted almost exclu-
sively to a discussion of Cuban matters.
The Cuban constitution is expected to
reach Washington about Feb. Is, when it
will be placed before Congress. The
President regards prompt action in this
matter as of very great Importance. and
would not hesitate to call Congress to-
gether in extra session to consider It.
should it appear necessary.
The need for prompt action on the
Spooner Philippine bill is regarded as
scarcely less urgent than the disposition
of the Cuban constitution, and the state
ment is made on high authority that in
the event of the failure of either of these
measures to receife the consideration of
Congress, an extra session is almost in
eVitable. a.tt +ttf.f+4.

DR. HIRSCH
GREETED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
 AT THE INSTITUTE.
The Lecture Followed by Reception at the Bluff City
 Hall.

Dr. Emil Hirsch, the eminent Chi cago Rabbi and who is said to be one of the highest salaried ministers in the United States, lectured before large audience at the Merrill Institute We'd nesday night. The doctor was booked for Tuesday evening, but on account of his failure to make railroad con nection B.rinkley, the lecture was postponed until the following evening" Indeed, the people of Pine Bluff were fortunate in that the doctor had an other open date and that his failure to make "a ilroad connection at Brink ley did not cause his engagement here to be cancelled.
 The subject of Dr. Hirsch's lecture was Facts and Fictions About the Jews, and he handled it in manner pleasing to his entire audience. The many superstitions which have been handed down from generation to gen eratlon about the Jews were dispell- ed and the doctor discussed the Jew in the true light of his racial history. That he is of a distinctive and un- mixed race the lecturer successfully combatted, and showed that it was one of the fictions about the Jews The history of the race was reviewed at length, and the "fictionss disclosed and the facts established.
 One of the prettiest passages in the doctors lecture was his description Of the American flag, and his eloquent outburst was received with hearty ap-
 plause. The doctor also took the ad-
 Vanced ground that Jesus, the great teacher was not crucifed by the Jews nor by Jewish laws, but by the homan pagans and by Roman laws. The lecturer recited the Jewish laws and customs of the times to show that the Jews were not responsible for the greatest murder in the worlds history The doctor said that there
 was no such word as "cruciixion" in
 the Hebrew language, but that it was
 a Roman word and custom.
 The lecturer concluded his dis l course by predicting at some time in the future grand brotherhood of | man, with no distinctions of race or creed. and his peroration was a fitting
 climax for his theme. As the lecturer bowed himself from before his audi ence, he was given hearty round of applause

DEAD IN THE ROAD,
WILLIAM ROBINSON, A NEGRO
 DIES SUDDENLY.
Was an Employe of the Sawyer & Austin Lumber Company-Death
 from Natural Causes.

The dead body of William Robin son, negro employe of the Sawyer X Austin Lumber Company. was found dead in the middle of a road between sThird and Fourth avenues near the old bayou in the east end of the city Wednesday evening. Under taker Robinson was notified and re- moved the remains to his undertaking shop Il West Second avenue. There were no bruises or marks of violence on the negros body that would indi- cate that he had been murdered or met death through an accident. On the other hand, it was clearly appar. ent that Robinson's death was the re- suit of natural causes. He was about 30 years of age and leaves a family.
 It is thought that after the negro left his work at the Sawyer X Austin mill, he started afoot to his home in the east end and when he reached the point where his body was found, that he dropped dead.
 Coroner R. D. McGaughey held an inquest over the remains Thursday morning, the jury returning a verdict that death occurred from natural causes.

 In connection with this, the fact may be recalled that this question of surrendering American territory came up in the Senate some time ago, when Senator Carter, of Montana, asserted that the President could no more sur render any part of the Philippines than he could surrender a part of Alaska and should be impeached if he did
 But he has surrendered portion of Alaska retorted Senator Yelling ton, of Maryland. Great Britain has been given part of Alaska. the Brit lsh flag is over it, British constabu- lafy control it, and American citizens are compelled to obey British laws. If the President should be impeached If he relinquished Philippine territory he should be impeached for what he has done in Alaska" Senator Carter hastened to explain what had been done in Alaska was only tentative under modus viyendi, to which Sen i'tor Wellington replied that the mo. dus would soon become perpetual And this, it is now admitted. is the case. c.
