THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Senator Platt, of Connecticut, chair
man of the Senate committee on Cube,
Yesterday received two notifications
Oae, from tie democratic side, was to
the effect that the minority proposed to
6 sht reciprocity at every stage, and
lad formulated compact organization
for that purpose. The other came
from q prominent republican, who
stated that at the proper time he would
offer an amendment to the bill declsr-
log that reciprocity should be contin-
gent upon the agreement by the Cuban
government to treaty with the United
States embodyiDg the teZt OF the Plstt
amendment. Both notifications were
10 beginning OF the fight that Ia to be
made in the Senate against the enact.
ment OF the measure.
Senator Plat was informed yesterday
that unless t his treaty was formulated
before reciprocity Was granted there
would be serious doubt az to its negoti-
alton. He was told that the Cubans
were not to be trusted, and their at
ampt to nullify the plain meaning OF
the Plat amendment was quoted to
him ss an evidence of their want Of
good faith. He was also notified that
prominent republicans, who shared 10
some suspicion Of Cuban honesty, would
oppose the reciprocity measure to the
last ditch unless the Plat amendment
was protected, and that he might pre-
pare TO face fight 10 his own party IN
less action along this line was accepted
by him.
The attitude OF the democratic Sen.
stors is something of a surprise. 10
the House the democrats have given
1eir support to the republican prop
ostion, although some Of them, like
Representative Mcclellan, assert that
the 20 per cent. reduction OF the tariff
Ia not enough. IL Is understood that
| 10 the Senate the democrats will IA
vor free trade with Cuba and will also
take the ground that the island ought
| ID be annexed. They argue that the
| annexation of Cuba has been democratic
doctrine since the days OF Jefferson
and that it would be wiser to per
manently annex the island than to b'
continually dispensing relief to its in
hsbitants.
The beet sugar men in the Hous'
have determined to resort to desperate
methods, and the ways and mesDI
committee and the majority leader
are alarmed at the situation. 1t hal
been definitely decided by the oppo
nents OF the reduction OF traif duties OF
Cuban sugar that when the reciprocity
bill comes up for consideration mex
Tuesday to offer sn amendment pro
vidiDg for a reduction of oil tarii
duties. Practically the amendment
will be the Bsbcock bill, and it i
claimed by the recalcitrant republican,
that Babcook, it's author, and all th,
democrats will be obliged to vote TO
it. The Speaker will declare tb'
amendment out of order. but the beet
sugar men will appeal from bis decis
ion, and it ia upon this question thu
test vote will be taken.

Proposed Visit of Prince of Wales.

New York, April 5.-Plsns for the
reception OF the Prince of Wales by the
Chamber of Commerce on his almost
assured visit here are we'll under way,
but are being withheld from the public.
Charles 8. Smith, chairman OF the ex'
ecutive committee, when shown the
London dispatch this morning TO the
effect that the administration 10 WASH
iuston was officially forwarding the
proposal for the visit of the Prince OF
Wales to this country, ID attend the ded-
cation OF the new Chamber of Com
merce, said that the dispatch from
London Is in the main correct and that
the commit ZEE, which has the matter 10
charge, Is formulating plans. Chair
man Smith said that an invitation had
been sent through the United States
government to have a representative OF
King Edward present during the cere.
monies OF dedication but he declined to
say whether the Prince Of Wales was
designated as King Edwards repreeen'
tstive or not. ]. Plerpout Morgan who
sailed recently on the Oceanic is said
to carry an invitation from the Stock

SOME OF the Washington papers,
which are sensational If nothing else,
and which always presume to know
more about Virginia affairs than they
pu dish about matters at home, now say
that the veto by Governor Montague oil
the bill Reproducing the State for
members of Congress. has caused seri-
Gus complications in Virginia and that
the entire delegation may be refused
their seats when Congress meets next
year. The vetoing of an apportion-
ment bill is nothing new, and even If II
were not, it is safe 10 say that Govern
or Montague knew what he was doing
and that he knows more about Virginia
and constitutional law than do the

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
An Announcement from the Managers of
Our Popular Play House.

The management of the grand is
pleased to announce to its patrons
that they have procured for this sea-
CONS entertainment some of the best at
fractions travelling out of New York.
The bookings have all been made by
the managers of the Grand, with the
assistance of one of the LARGEST theat-
rical agencies III the country. Every
effort has been made to give to our
theatre goers the best plays that can
be procured, and we predict in ad-
vance that those who will frequent the
Grand this season will enjoy each
and every performance.
The original policy outlined when
the Grand was first opened eleven
years ago-not to PLAY too many at
fractions, but rather play few, and
good ones only-has always been
strictly adhered to, and is still the
ruling spirit of the theatre.
There are very few opera houses in
| the United States, in fact we do not
know of one, where the bookings are
made with such care, and where the
management absolutely refuses to in
ter into contract with booking man
ayers unless they are fully convinced
the attraction offered is flrst-class in
every particular 1t is our desire to
so arrange dates, if possible, that en-.
tertainments will come twice, or al
the utmost three times a month dur.
ing the theatrical season. OF course
this cannot always be done, but dur.
ing the entire season patrons will not
be bored to death on account of toe
many theatrical nights at the Grand.
We ask your hearty approval of oul
policy, and urge you to give the
Grand your patronage, as night al
the theatre occasionally makes life
better and sweeter, and fills us will
more cheer for the work of tomorrow
The next performance at the GranC
will be the comic opera "Mikado' by
the ''Beggar Prince Opera Co. ION TIN
evening of Sept. Both. Speak gooc
word for the performance when you
are pleased, and if occasionally an at
traction does not meet with you
hearty approval, be lenient in you
criticism, as the management is doin,
everything i'll it's power to presen
only such plays as will prove worth,
of your patronage. Help the cause a
best you can, and the future success
of the Grand is assured.
Truly yours,
Weiser & Bear.
