WILL The PEOPLE SPEAK?7
Mysterious Enquiries That Apparently
Aim to CaTTy a Warning Received by
the RepTesentatives-Bears a Chicago
POstmark-Outline Figures Of Horses.

Every member in the House OF Repre-
scntatives is guessing today.
Each is asking the other, What does
this mean?" and What can the President
be waiting TO hear from the peopIe2"
Some very strange things have recently
come TO light, signs of trouble within
the ranks OF the Republicans; their in
ability to get together on the Cuban SUI
gar tariff and other questions recon-
meudcd b. the President.
And so this morning. when every mem
be- in the House received in his mail a
postal card bearing the postmark Chicago,
there was surprise. followed by consterna-
tion and even terror.
The Card of Mystery.
The card which, is devoid Of all marks
Of authorship or origin, is fairly covered
with the imprint in red ink OF apparently
a small rubber stamp bearing the outline
figure OF a mule and another Of a horse.
A horse was stamped in the upper left
hand corner, and in the lower right-hand
corner. while twelve imprints OF mules
were prOmiscuOusly scattered over the
card.
Across the centre. in large. black type,
were these questions.

the peOple?"
VIII the people speake"
What Can It Mean?
The memters neglected to open their
other mail, and for several hours before
the opening Of the session gathered in
groups and did their best to figure out
the meaning Of the strange note Of en-
quiry and the significance Of the figures
on the card
Some thought il had an application 70
the CleOmargarine bill. others that 10 re-
ierred 10 Cuba the treatment Of Schley.
or the attitude OF the President on The
census bill.
Others took il 10 mean the work Of a
practical joker, while not a few regarded
it as Ominous and a terrible calamity
awaiting the Republican party
One member suggested tnat the cards
