Politics Caused II.

Mail Clerk Milton S. Grain was
arrested in Lexington Saturday
charged with opening letters that
passed through his hands while on
duty as clerk on the line between
Lexington and jackson. The ar
rest has oocasiOned much surprise
in the blue grass dist let, where
Grain and his family have been
prominent for years Though do
ing duty as a railway mail clerk a {
salary of 81, 900 year, Grain is
one OF the prominent business men
OF jackson and his county, and is
reckoned as political power. He
is owner of half dozen houses in
the town, and quite as an incident
OF more important business, has
owned and operated one of the
newspapers of'the county.
LIS o'UOhCi Is IOsbDlaSJer at
jackson, and it was this circum-
r--hce which caused him to enter
IN the course resulting in his pres
nntortona,te predieament. The
prother wants to be reappointed
Postmaster, and has been bending
every effort to that end in the face
of considerable opposition.
There is no Charge or suspicion
that Grain had any motive or OBJ
Ject in taking the letters other than
to find out what was going on
about the Postmaster contest.
Grain confessed and was taken
before the United States Commits

Cuba.
CAUCUsEs ON BOTH SIDES.
Opinions as to the ultimate effect of the tes-
timony are as varied as the predictions and
prejudices of the Senate. but the immediate re
suits are seen in the decision reached in the
afternoon to have two caucuses in the early
future. The first of these will be held by the
beet sugar Republican Senators tomorrow. and
the second by all the Republican Senator'S on
Friday Saturday. Senator Burrows is re-
sponsbe for the statement that the beet sugar
men will meet and Senator Adrich for the ar
nouncement that there will be a general con-
ference before the close of the week
The purpose of the meeting of the beet sugar
men is to consider the situation AFFECTED by
to-day's developments and also 10 receive re-
port from the committee, consisting OF Senator'S
Elkins Burrows and Jones. of Nevada, appoint
ed to confer with the Republican members Of the
Cuban Committee This committee will report
that the Cuban Committee has declined to con-
slider all the propositions looking TO a compro-
mise which have been made. and it probably VIII
ask TO lie discharged. The propositions that
have been made two-the first, for rebate,
and the second, for a commercial treaty with
Cuba The committee will say that both plans
rejected. and that the members of the
Cuban Committee would not change their posi-
ton that there must be a straight reduction OF
- per cent without any conditions except that
concession in he found that the Cuban
planters We're not getting the benefit Of it. The
full conference will be in the nature of caucus.
and some of the beet sugar men say they viii
enter it only with the understanding that they
shall not be bound by any conclusion that may
be reached. The advocates Of a tariff reduction
say that action by a Republican Senate
caucus is binding, but they add that defecttons
have occurred only in rare instances. Senator
AldriCh expresses confidence in being able 10
secure fully forty-ffve Republican votes in favor
Of any bill that may be reported by the Cuban
Committee. This is a majority of the Senate,
and the friends Of reduction express themselves
hopeful of passing bill satisfactory TO them.
They say the testimony of Mr.. Thurber does
not affect the merits Of the question in the
least. and they contend that even admitting
that the course of the Cuban Government was
censurable it cannot. and should not prevent
the government of the United States from doing
what 1t has promised TO do, and what 1t is right
do. They do not. however. generally admit
that the course was improper.
The beet sugar Senators are more hopeful than
they have been heretofore. Some of them pro
fess believe that the revelations Will at least
halt in the proceedings in the inter
est OF reciprocity. They think the report made
by Mr.. Thurber will be accepted by the country
going to show that entirely too much inter
est has been manifested in the subject in Cuba.
Some of them go 50 far to declare that there
will be no reciprocity legislaton-at least at the
present session of Congress.
