Congressional Opposition
To Cuba Increases.
Senator Mason's Bill Will MOI
Pass The Lower House.
Determined Opposition: Which
Cannot HeL Overcome



{ ]. New YORK. January l7tb.-Tel
Sgfaphic iIfoimation from Wash.
ington declares that the Admins
tfa ion has besn checked by Congress-
ia IT. efforts to solvstthe question
Of E4ban relief in spms Way or
another. The last action taken UP!
by the government adherents was
the consideration Of 8 anator Mason's
bill Tor q tariH reduction Of one
hall, and it was believed that this
measure having. a time limit In it
would be passed without much op
pcs 'tion, but tie latest news from
congressional sources on this subject
tends to show that there 10 absolutely
no possibility OF the bill passing
The House even if it should pass the
Senate, which is a very doubtful
gu sstion.
The administration has about
reached the end Of its efforts for
Cubsn reciprocity and relief, and it
lcoks as if the opposition would be
entirely successful. Aside from the
fact that enormously powerful in.
terssts are opposed to the Cuban
program as being hrrtful to many
home industries, there exists q feel.
ling that the government hasalready
done more. for Cuba that she .un-
|dertook to do, and more than the
! Cuban people have merited.
The latest advices from Cuoa
|show bitter feeling against Con-
|gress, and in view Of the many state
ments made by the leoding citizens
OF the island and the leading journals
1.-THE feeling exists that Cuba will
|repudiate the Platt amendment upon
the very first opportunity which
pres ents itself.
For the present this much is GER
tain, that Cuban relief and Cuban
reciprocity measures cannot pass
the House, the opposition growing
in, strength every day and becoming
more hi ter as the matter becomes
more discussed. Despite the back
ling Of President Roosevelt Secret
|ary Root, Gen. Wood and Senators
Lodge, Fry and Mason, aud otker
|strOng adherents of the administra.
|tion, the Cubsn relief program has
fallen through, and at present there
|is small indication that it can be
|fskivad before the present House.

CECIL RHODES AND TENNYSON
CThe PRESBYTERIAN Standard

A valued correspondent, DIR. Henry e
Shepherd, of Baltimore, calls our atten-
ton to the source of Cecil Rhodes last
utterance, so little done, SO much tt
do The words are disjointed quota
ton from I'm Nemoriam," the whole
section reading:
So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,
How know l what had need of thee.
For thou vert strong as thou vert true
The fame is quenched that | foresaw,
The head hath missed an earthly wreath:
! curse not nature, no. nor death:
For nothing is that errs from law.
We pass; the path that each man trod
Is dim, or will be dim with weeds:
What fame is left for human deeds
In enGless age? 1t rests with God.
o hollow wrath of dying fame,
Fade wholly. while the soul exults,
And self-infolds the large results
OF force that would have forged a name.
Certainly the egotism of applying
these lines to himself is justifiable in the
case of Cecil Rhodes.
Dr. Shepherd comments as follows:
"You will see that the passage read in
its integrity or completeness by no
means suggest a lack of religious trust,
but rather that this titanic adventurer
ard builder of empires, retained to the
last, some traces of the faith which he
in tod ia
ed, obscure clergyman of the Church of
England. So far from these words de-
monstrating an eclipse of religious be-
lief. they are among the rare and iso-
lated circumstances of his versatile ca
rcer which seem to me to indicate that
the light originally in him had not fad
cd into irretrievable darkness. Rhodes
was not devoid of the sense of literary
appreciation, as is signally attested by
his timely reference in his supreme mo-
ment, to that interchangeable elegy in
which the graces of art and the grace of
faith contend for the mastery"
1t is always permitted us to hope for
the eternal well-bens of any man
trained in the Christian faith. And we
think DR.. Shepherd has done public
service in calling attention to the fact
that this great soul, turned at the last
to the familiar words of the matchless
poem beginning
Strong Son of God. immortal love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
BY faith. and faith alone, embrace,
Believing when we cannot prove;
and closes with an inscription of praise
to-
That God, which ever lives and loves,
One God, one law, one element,
And one far-off divine event,
10 which the whole creation moves.

allure which will, to use an old express
sion. fill a long felt want, will soon be
published in this country. Of recent
wears no foreign literature has come to
be of such close interest to the English
reading public as that of Russia; the
great authors of that country are almost
household words here, and yet there has
not existed any history which attempted
to treat of this literature in compre-
hensive manner. The author, Prof. Leo
Wiener is an experienced anthology
maker. Many of the minor Slavic lam
guages have been treated thus by him.
He is also the author of a History of
Yiddish Literature and Songs From the
Ghetto
Writing of Russian novelists calls to
, mind a legend of the Russian peasants
which is now being published in this
country from a translation made by
George Kenan. The tale is story of
Napoleon Bonaparte which mas existed
as bit of folklore among the peasants
for long time. 1t was recently put into
literary form by Mr.. Alexander Ampli-
theatrof and published in a st. Peters
burg paper. Mr.. Kenan says that he
has translated this form of the story
with great difficulty, because it is pre-
sented in the language of the common
Russian muzhik. According to recent
cable report, Mr.. Amplitheatrof (Which
one can easily believe is an assumed
name) has Just been exiled to Eastern
| Siberia for the publication of another
peasant story called "Obmanoff," The
st. Petersburg paper in which it appear
! ed has been suppressed, as the authori-
ties regarded the story as an attack on
the imperial family of Romanoff The
suppressed newspaper now commands a
premium of twenty-five roubles copy
| for the issue containing this particular
story.
most remarkable test of advertising
in the publishing business will be given
late this spring or early next fall. A
young New York author, practically I'M
known. has had a novel accented by "a
publishing house which is noted for its
queer methods of advertising. The story
| is not quite completed yet, but as soon
as it is ready the publishers propose to
begin a campaign of advertising on 1t
which will be worth watching. They
| have promised, so it is understood, to
spend $50, 900 themselves in pushing the
/ sale OF the DOCK, d mover ny On uhhno"A
writer, and a large advertising concern
