TROUBLE IN SENATE
Cuban Reciprocity Bill Will Get 1t
From Both Sides.

|
Washington, April 4.-The Post says:
Senator Platt. of Connecticut, the chair
man of the senate committee on Cuba, re-
ceived two notifications. One. from the
democratic side, was to the effect that the
minority proposed to fight reciprocity at
every stage, and had formed compact
organization for that purpose. The other
came from prominent republican, who
stated that, at the proper time, he would
offer an amendment to the bill declaring
that reciprocity should be contingent upon
the agreement by the Cuban government
to treaty with the United States, en-
bGdying the text Of the Plat amendment,
the senator putting his statement on the
ground that he feared the Cubans, after
they had formed government, would at
tempt to nullify the Platt amendment.
Both notifications were the beginning of
the fight that is to be made in the senate
against the enactment Of the measure.

Walking on Water Was by a
Mechanism or an Illu-
sion Altogether.
Yet the Miracles Were Truer
Than Had. They Been
Facts, He Says.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, April 5.-How Christ may have
walked upon the sea and what Is meant
by the miracle of Moses striking the rock
and drawing forth water, were explained
by Dr.. Emil G. Hirsch last night to the
congregation in Temple Israel. How
Christ may have performed his cures also
his belief in them and even in methods by
which Dowie and the Christian Scientists
work.
Hypnotism was the suggestion given by
DR.. Hirsch for the miraculous cures ac-
complished by Jesus. The use of
mechanism might explain how Christ was
able to appear. to his disciples in the
midst Of the storm on Lake Galilee-or it
might have been an illusion.
The resurrection Of Christ was more
than a fact. he said It was so much
more than a fact that it did not make
| any difference whether it was fact or
not. It was a truth, DR.. Hirsch de-
clared. He5continued:
Rationalism would say that when Christ
appeared walking on water it might have

his feet or he might have been floating. The

I should choose the latter without hesitation.
