STAND ON THE CUBAN BILL
Is to BE Determined BY the Demo
Gratis I'm Caucus.

Is to BE Determined BY the Demo-
Gratis I'm n Caucus.
Washington, Nov. 12.-The Demo-
cratic attitude on the Cuban bill, as
well as general policy on public ques-
tions. is to be the subject of caucus
of the minority members of the House
to be held Saturday night.
A meeting of the minority members
of the Ways and Means Committee
was held tonight for the purpose of
outlining several amendments to the
Cuban bill. These amendments will
include one removing the differential
on refined sugar,and the elimination
from the treaty of that portion of ar
ticle g. which binds the United States
government not to reduce the duties
on sugar for a period of five years.
In the event of the failure of these
amendments, the indications are that
the minority members of the House
Will support the Cuban bill.
In explaining the reasons for the
amendments proposed, Mr.. Williams,
the Democratic leader on the floor, said
that the Democratic party in his opin-
ion, could not afford to allow with
out protest the enactment of 1egisla-
an Intellectual one to bind future con-
crosses, and future administrations by
pledge against further reduction OF
duties upon any article with any coun-
try. The right to abrogate the treaty,
he said, ought to be reserved in this in
stance, as it is reserved in all treaties
upon due notice, being given.
ut might be argued" said Mr.. WIZ
lams. when the question came UP
for reconsideration, that we were NOR
ally bound, although not legally bound.
AS a matter of fact, we would not
be morally bound if the Democrats
came into power unless the Democracy
by acquiescence or by active consent
had made itself bound
Mr.. Williams said that assurances
had been received from the majority
side of the House OF enough votes TO
add the amendment, doing away with
the refiners differential.

day against James Abeel by Robert
Goelet, the Duchess of Roxburghes
brother, whom Abeel is said to have
impersonated in proposing marriage to
Miss Eleanor Anderson, telegraph oper-

Since the publicity given to the pro-
posed wedding of the pretended Goe-
let and the denial of Mr.. Goelet that
he knew Miss Anderson, Abeel has
disappeared.
Mr.. Goelet went to the district at
torneys Office to-day and entered the
complaint against Abeel, charging him
with forging the name of j. i. Van
Every, vice president of the Western
Union, to a letter of introduction, by
means of which Abel became &C
quainted with Miss Anderson.

DOWN AGAIN.

Republicans are doing much
stumbling. A weak argument is
worse than none at all. First they
accused Gov. Beckham Of being
either responsible for the state OF
lawlessness in Breathitt county or
allied with the Jett-White outlaws.
These charges broke down when
the Governor took an active part
in ferreting out the troubles and
bringing the guilty to answer be-
fore the law. The next was to
charge that he was abusing the
pardoning power entrusted to him,
by turning out criminals who are
again using the deadly weapons in
the destruction of life, or the torch
in the consuming Of property.
But again the charge becomes
weighty and goes to pieces when
a comparison is made with the par
doning acts ofex-Governors Brown
and Bradley. What next?

NAILED.

Republicans have been telling il
around, and had some others be-
sides themselves to believe, that
Governor Beckham had greatly
abused the pardoning power. In
order to correct this continued
misrepresentation we have pub
lished a correct statement OF
what the Governor has done by
use of the pardoning power, thus
putting to rest these false accusa-
tons. We would have our read
ers to compare the pardons grant
ed by Gov. Beckham with those
by Gov. Bradley and Gov. Brown
and tell it to others and ask that
they do likewise.
