WASHINGTON, .. c., March 81
Sreak.r Henderson and Representative
Cannon, of illinois, called at the White
House to-day. It is under stood the sub

ed, and the call led to much speculation.
Active canvassing continued amonS
Republican n.eItbers to-day preliminary
to the third caucus on Cuban reciprocl-

most positive claims were made by those
opposed to Representative PsyneS ~ per

and his associates did not concede TINS

DIVISION IN CABINET.
During the day several memners of the
Cabinet were called on by Messrs. Taw-
ney and Morris, of Minnesota.
AS an outcome Of these calls 1t was
stated that three members of the Cabl-
net, namely: Postmaster-Generalt Payne,
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson, were hope
full of seeing g. solution OF the prop
lem which ywoulH not endanger any
American industry. This YVES construed
in some quarters to show a. division III
the Cabinet.
Later in the day Representative Tawn-
ey called at the White House and had a
conference lasting nearly ali hour and a
half with the President. 1t developed
that Mr.. Tawney had told the President
that there was little or no possibility for
the adoption Of the Payne plan by the
Republican conference, and if it was
adopted, some forty Republican members
would not consider themselves bound and
would carry the question to the floor of
the House, where there would be addi-
tional complications. owing to the attitude
of Democratic members.
NO SPECIAL MESSAGE
The President is understood to have
made it clear that he had no intention
at present of sending a special message
to Congress on the subject. The Presi-
dent expressed the most earnest solicitude
that a satisfactory adjustment be reached
by Congress.
After hearing from Mr.. Tawney hiss as
sociates expressed the belief that the
President would accept the rebate propo-
sition if Congress sent it to him. They
also We're considerably encouraged to hear
from Mr.. Tawney that the President was
not laying down any emphatic ultimatun
in favor of the plan as presented by Mr..
Payne.
While these conferences were going on
at the White House. Chairman Payne and
members of the Ways and Means Com
n1ittee supporting him were in conference
This brought about no change in their
attitude.

They will cover, when completed, some
an elevation of 1,1co feet. Dark red brick
will be used in their construction, the
cornices and columns being white, while
There viii be two divisions. one the aca-
demic and the other the residential por-
ton, these being separated by series
OF terraces and broad avenues to be beau

the commencement hall, and this at some
distance resembles a little the principal
edifice of the University of Virginia
Most of the buildings are to be con-
nected by a series of coonnades, and the
entire cost of all is estimated at half
million dollars. 1t is not, however, pro

Since the burning of the williamsburg
Asylum the authorities have had sosne
difficulty in keeping John B. Dunnayant
who was sent to that place from Man
chester about two years ago. Ihree
times has he escaped and returned to his
home here. only to be captured and sent
back. Yesterday the police We're notified
to be on the lookout for him, as he had
made his escape again. Squire Cheath
swore out a. warrant last night, and OHl-
GERS Smith and Jones went to the house
of Dunnavant and brought him to the
station-hous He was very quiet and
talked in a manner that was entirely
sane.
It will be remembered that Dunnavant
first escaped from the asylum when 1t
burned, and coming to his home here
acted in a quiet manner for some time,
and nothing was done as to taking him
back. After little while, though, he be-
came violent, and the family had to get
the authorities to remove him from the
house.
The last time he came home. when
asked how he escaped. he replied that the
guard had gone to sleep and he just
wanted to see Manchester. 1t is not
known how he escaped this time. but ne
will be held until the authorities come
for him
