Chicago, June. THE Chronicles WASH
ington correspondent says: Senator Gull
lom, who is a member of the administra-
tons Cancellation committee, called at
the White House yesterday and had
long conference with the president about
Cuban reciprocity. The president said to
the senator among other things that while
he entertained very positive views about
the character of relief which ought to be
extended to Cuba and the expedition with
which bill should be passed, he vas not
disposed to interfere with the work OF
congress. He said that he hoped congress
would arrive at some basis of compromise
and pass a bill by republican votes.
From this interview arose ascircumstan-
tial story, which was very generally. scir-
culated around the capitol, that the presl-
dent had said to Senator .Cullom that he
was willing to accept rebate plan If his
reciprocity plan cannot pass the senate.
Senator Cullom denies that the presl-
dent said anything of the sort, but the
inference generally drawn-f from the presi-
dents Willingness to accept any compro-
mise which may be agreed upon is that If
the republicans of the senate agree upon
a rebate he will sign the bill. The con-
ciliation committees will hold another
meeting tomorrow and if they cannot@ar-
rive, at a decision it is probable that
Senator Allison will be requested to call
caucus of the republican senators so that
the problem may be worked out there
with the least possible delay: -..-.:-; !.
The presidents friends have refrained
from calling caucus thus far because
they did not care to emphasize the differ
ences which exist in the republican party.
They have felt that If a settlement could
be reached in any other manner it would
be more satisfactory to everybody con-
cerned. They will not hesitate, however
to submit the whole proposition to eau

And Now the Old "Harp'' Tavern Has to Go

London, June 7.-Interesting relics of

favorite resort of celebrated English the

The ancient inn stands, as it has for
years, in Covent Garden, just across the
street from the stage door OF Drury Lane

associations. It's heyday. however, was
nearly hundred years ago. when Ed

1t was while drinking in the tap-room
OF the Harp tavern that Sheridan, the wit.
uttered one Of his happiest quips. The
playwright was just in the act OF lift

friend rushed in and told him that his

paused in the act of drinking and de-
handed: We'll, sir, and cannot a man

which query he proceeded unconcernedly
to quench his thirst & -zs.,- :
Perhaps, however, the Harp tavern was
best known as the historic meeting place
OF the famous club which called itself the
CITY of Lushington." Its members made
it their recreation to initiate the stately
assembly which ruled then, as it does
now, the old city of Lonnon-therefore
the president of the club was the Lord
Mayor and each of it's members was an
alderman. They had mock robes and
chains of Office, not to mention a lot of

WRIT OF INJUNCTION .
Judge Jenkins Says That 1t Is
Valuable Factor.

Chicago, June THE writ Of injunc-
ton is indispensable to protect mems
rights, said Judge jenkins of the federal
court of appeals last night in lecture
to the John Marshall law school. He
said:
A great many people have become fearful
that the government of this country is to be
carried on by the courts through writs of
injunction. Because that writ has been ap-
piled to certain matters which have affected
the public generally that fear has grown up
and yet the principle which the courts have
declared and which they have sought to en-
force is as old as equity, is as certain as
equity itself, is as clear in principle as any
principle Of the law and is simply applied
to modern conditions which have grown with
the growth Of the country beyond all thought
of the people when this writ of injunction
was first issued.
This principle Of recent. years has come
about generally in regard to strikes. Men
may rave about it as they please, but the
world cannot get along without it and man 8
