FoR cuBA,s BENEFIT.

There does not seem to be much
ground for doubling that Congress
will pass the Payne bill for the relief
of Cuba The Ways and Means Com
mittee adopted 1t on Monday by good
ma jority, and the Republicans have
practically agreed to support it. Some
of those from the beet sugar states
may vote against it, though when they
discover that they cannot defeat it,
that they cannot have the kind of leg
islation they want-it is probable
that they will give II their votes. And
it is probable that it will get Demo-
cratic votes. The Republican leaders
have undoubtedly gone over the situa-
ton pretty thoroughly, and know just
what votes they can depend upon. If
that were not the case the President
would not have made so much of an
effort to bring Representative Bah
cock of Wisconsin into line. The bill,
if it should become a law. would not
afford Cuba much relief.
1t may be the plan of the Republi-
can leaders to increase the amount
OF the rellet during the progress or
the bill through Congress. The SEN
ate may be willing to do more for the
Cuban people than the House is. II
so, the Senate may amend the bill,
making the relief so per cent. instead
of 90 as provided by the Ways and
Means Committee, with the under
landing that it shall be made thirty
three and a third per cent. by the
Committee of Conference. Gen. Wood.

urged the President and all other
friends of Cuba with whom he came
in contact to make the relief for Cuba
more than twenty per cent.
AS matter OF fact, however. Cuba
ought to be grateful to this country

NOT MUCH OF A SENSATION.

The indications are that the charges
of corruption, in connection with the
sale of the Danish West India Islands,
made in the House few days ago. and
which apparently implicated several
members of Congress, q number of
newspapers and two press associations
will not amount to much. In fact, it
will be surprising If the investigation
which the House has instituted win de-
velop anything sensational.
In our Washington dispatches yester-
day it was stated that the Danish min
lister had called on the Secretary of
State, and that statement had been
furnished by Capt. Walter Christmas.
in which he stated that he had never
bribed, or attempted to bride, Amerl-
can legislators, newspapers or news
agencies. 1t was on Christmas report,
that Mr.. Richardson asked that an in
vestigation Of the sale of the islands be
made. 1t was the understanding that
Christmas was an agent-the secret
agent of the Danish government in the
sale of the islands-and that he had re-
ported to the Danish prime minister
that he had to bride members of Con-
gress, newspapers and press agencies
in order to effect the sale of the islands
and that therefore he ought TO be al
lowed commission of 100000.
1t seems that he was not the secret
agent of the Danish government and
that he made no report to the Danish
prime minister as such agent 1t is
alleged that he was acting on his own
authority, and that what he did present
to the Danish prime minister was a
claim for alleged services, and it seems
that he endeavored to make it appear
that his services had been of great
value in effecting the sale of the ISL
ands. 1t doesn't appear that anybody
has been paid any money in connection
with the negotiations sale and from
all that can be gathered the Danish
government had no other agent in ne
gotiating the sale than the Danish
minister at Washington, who will not
get a cent for what he did other than
his regular pay.
Unless there is testimony very differ
ent from any that has yet been pro-
duced the investigation which the
House is making will not yield any
thing that will be worth a moments
notice from a news standpoint. In
fact, at no time has it been believed
that there was much in the charges.

Personal.

Considerable interest is being taken
in Athens in the literary performance
of Prince Nicholas, the third son of
King George. He is a playwright of
promise, and some of his works have
gained him considerable distinction.
Two of his comedies, which are said
to be exceedingly witty. have been
particularly successful, one of them
having been awarded the first prize In
competition and the other having been
produced with great success at the
Royal Theater of Athens. In the lat
ter case he did not acknowledge his
authorship till the success of the piece
was assured.

STANDING BY HIS FRIEND.

Senator Hanna is standing by his
friend Rathbone. recently convicted of
postal frauds in Havana. 1t seems he
has been trying to get the President
to pardon him, but his influence was
not sufficient to secure such a favor.
The President is shrewd enough to
see that if he were to show mercy in
that case he would stand but little
chance of succeeding himself as Presi-
dent. 1t would be said, and with very
good reason, that the Republican lead
ers did not dare to let Rathbone suffer
the consequence of his crime-that he
knew too many of the party secrets.
and that the President was forced to
pardon him. That sort of talk would
do the Republican party an immense
amount of harm. 1t would have a
tendency to create a feeling that that
party has been in power long enough
for the good of the country and that it
is time for it to go.
1t is of course Senator Hanna's duty
as a senator to use his influence in
UNFOLDING the laws, but it is probable
that few will blame him for trying to
secure freedom for his personal friend.
The President has promised him that
he will review the evidence against
Rathbone, but there is little or no rea-
son to think that he will find sufficient
ground for pardoning the man. 1t is
quite certain that the Cuban court
would not have permitted his convic-
ton if the evidence had not justified 1t.
1t is claimed that evidence was adj
mitted against him that would have
been ruled out in an American court.
If his acquittal depended upon the rul-
ing of the court upon some point of
evidence it would be hard to convince
the public that he was not guilty.
Senator Hanna, it seems, is going to
introduce a bill in Congress providing
that Rathbone shall be brought to this
country and given another trial. He
will have a difficult time in getting
that bill passed. Congress win be as
adverse to getting Rathbone out of jail
by that means as the President was
by means of a pardon. If Senator
Hanna should introduce a bill for
Rathbone's relief the friends of Nicely
and Reeves the others who were con-
victed of Cuban postal frauds, would
want to amend it. so as to include all
of the convicted men.

Representative John r. Lacey. of the
Sixth Iwoa district, tells the following,
according to Lippincott's:
"A funny thing happened at one Of
the Presidential receptions last winter.
One of my constituents was doing
Washington for the first time. and I
was exhibiting the lions, in fact the
whole menagerie, for it is not exclu-
sively lions that are on exhibition at
our high society functions. AS we cir
culated among the crowd we met DR..
Mary Walker-yes she was in full
evening dress, of the bifurcated vari-
ETY.; decollete too, in her low cut vest.

very anxious to meet her, and, indeed,

you know, and there is only one DR..
Mary Walker. So / introduced him.
Just at that moment Minister WI APP
preached, and, stopping to shake hands
with me, was introduced to her also.
THE spinal infection was barely
completed when the little doctor
stepped back a pace, and, drawing her
rather slight anatomy up to the utter
most semblance of dignity that she
could command, with an expression too
of utter disapprobation upon her coun-
tenance, eyed the big Chinaman most
severely for a moment.
with a look of establishment at this
attitude, to which the popular diplomat
is so little accustomed, he waited in
curiosity for what was coming, for DR..
Mary's expression was portentious. At
last she let him have it, with a look
that might have annihilated one less a
philosopher:
why do you wear petticoats, Mr..
Wu?'

country, madam and then. after a
