(Bv the Associated Press.

(BV the ASSOclaleu IIeSS')
Havana, April 11.-At the secret SEES
sion Of the Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention today several delegates offered
motions that the convention should
express it's disapproval of the principles
embodied in the Plat Amendment ana
especially the clauses /, 8, 6, and !.
Senior Giberga moved that the subject
be indefinitely postponed, but this pro-
posal was supported by ony six dele
gates.
The effort of the Radical element is
to put the convention on record against
the amendment before voting to send
a commission to Washington. 1t was
evident that the Radicals had a major
ity today. The matter viii be further
discussed tomorrow.
1t is the opinion of the Havana bar
that the case Of libel against La Discus
sion on account of the sa-called cruci-
nxion caricature, Will not come before
the courts.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-London furnish

business foreign houses were moderate
ayers in this market. Chiefly in conse-

especially strong and active on the ex-
pectations that there VIII be some early
announcement OF the negotiations for the
purchase OF the Carnegie Company and

contemplated
Sugar Refining was dealt in at about
yesterdays final level. The local traction
issues were not as active as they were
yesterday and moved within narrow limits
Very little that was novel bearing on
the market or particular stocks was com
prised in the news Of the morning To
come extent active interest in the market
was restricted by reason of the common
expectations that tonorroW's bank state
ment viii show another further material
reduction in surplus reserves. but nev-
ertbeless money was in abundant supply
The strength Of the London market was
reported as owing chiefly 70 expectations
OF further relaxation in monetary con
ditions there. coupled with hopes Of a
speedy termination 10 the South African
war
Later IN the day the market showed
some weakness though movements in
either direction were restricted and IN
important. The professionals were almost
the only participants in the trading. New
York Central had a sharp upward squirt
which was unexplained.

very much interested.
Talk about discipline and parliamentary
, 1awl No woman's club ever conducted mat
tiers moro according to rule than did these
miniature men and women. My hostess
told me they were all children Of clubwom-
en-. and that the mothers were as much
interested in the club as they were.
They met at the different houses and
each hostess provided a luncheon for them
after the meeting. Their days were Friday
afternoons. She told me the children were
better parliamentarians than many Of the
clubwomen.
After the meeting adjourned there were a
few moments Of gossip and chatter, for all
the world like the pause Of a woman's club
after. tho papers and before the rejection.
Then the youngsters trooped down to the
dininE-room.
The luncheon was simple. Some tongue
end lettuce sandwiches, Ice cream, plenty
OF cake and hot chocolate. They were typi-
cal boys and girls. as they fell in and did
Justice to the goodies. Every few moments
two or three in q group would renew a
vexed question about the proposed enter
tainment. but as a rule they were thorough
children.
They all looked well cared for, and well
brought Up. I left there rather discouraged.

Having in mind a club woman Of whom ]
had heard some gossip, I determined to call
on her without any warning one afternoon.
I was told by the levator boy that he did
not think she was at home. but I decided
to go up anyway.
When we reached the apartment I rang
the electric bell without getting any re-
Spouse. Finally. after my second ring. and
despairing Of gaining admission, I was about
to re-enter the elevator when the door was
opened a little way, and q small child peeped
out.
'Is Mrs. Jones At homer" I asked.
The door was opened q little wider. and
taking this as a silent invitation to enter. I
did so, and turned toward the parlor.

mite. "She's gone to her clubs"
"Is there no one homer I Queried.
"Yes: Maria's home. Marial Maria"
called the mite, there's some one here to

I was investigating. 50 I scrutinized the
youngster. h might have been a pretty
child had she been clean. but she had been
eating Jam. Her face was streaked with IT,
her curls were stuck with It and her fingers
were smeared with the sticky substance. I
was afraid she would put her hands on my
gown; and I would not have touched the
door knob for worlds
Presently, from somewhere IN tho back
regions. a slatternly girl appeared. She
grabbed the youngster by the arm and
showed her into q dark room.

When is the best time TO find her: 1 mean,
when would / be most likely to see her with
the children. and satisfy myself? / cannot
reconcile myself to the fact of u woman
being so well versed in politics and at the
same time being so perfect n mother"
You will always find her at home FrTHay

Friday and then come ana ter me if am

My curiosity was so great that l called
the very next Friday and found Mrs. Free
Silver at home. l was asked upstairs 10
the second-story front room. which was
library and sitting room combined. There
was a large creeping rug on the floor in
front of Il wood fire. On this lay a baby
about 6 months Did. kicking UP It's heels
and having 4 good time in general. Growing
at the cheerful hickory blaze.
Mrs. Free Silver apologized for asking me
upstairs. but explained that Friday was
her day home with the children; that It
was the nurses day out. and she had the
care Of the baby. Just then there was u
terrible racket over our heads. 1 thought
the ceiling was coming down, but as she
never seemed to mind 1t 1 concluded it was
all right.
She had some sewing In her hands. which
she laid down upon my entrance. and we
started in to chat. I complimented her upon
her paper. and asked her how she found
time to study up so deep a question.
Il read a great deal" she replied.
But when do you find time to read with
all your children to care for?'
~ never read during the day. I have
made it 4 practice to read for two hours
every night. Sometimes it is from S till
10, often from 3 till II. and very frequently
from 10 till Il. The children are all in bed
