increase of forces in postoffic-s, where
such increase was not absolutely justi-
fed by the facts, but which were grant

Washington, March 1.-The archi-
tectural changes made in the White
House were the subject of a large
share of the discussion in the senate
and they were generally criticised as
falling far short of the improvements
which should have been secured with
the $500,000 appropriated for the pur
pose. The discussion was pending at
adjournment. An executive session
was held.
The question of negroes dining at
the White House occupied share Of
the houses attention-apropos to the
Booker T. Washington incident, and
Scott of Kansas called attention to the
fact that negro dined with President
Cleveland. Lowering of Massachusetts
spoke in favor of modification Of the

That Proposed Between Guam and Japan
-Chemulpo Incident Closed.
St Petersburg, March 1.-If an at
tempt is made to lay a cable from the
Island Of Guam to Japan during the
continuance of hostilities it will be
regarded as contraband of war under
the proclamation promul gated Sunday.
As pointed out to the Associated Press
correspondent the proclamation is spe-
cific on this question, and it is not be-
lieved here that the United States win
undertake or authorize such a cable
now, as 1t would constitute a breach
of neutrality according to the Russian
view.

LOWERING MAKES A PREDICTION

Objects to "standing Pat" and the Minori-

Lowering of Massachusetts aroused
the minority to applause when the de-
clared that while we are talking about
standing pat the great ship of busj- ,ess
is drifting on the rocks and our boast.
ed prosperity is fast coming to an
end" Lowering prefaced this by say
ing that millions of dollars had been
lost to manufacturers and thousands
of laborers had been deprived of work
because the government had not en-
larged the drawback system.
The remedy, he said, was easy. The
relief demanded, he declared, could be
secured by simple amendment to the
drawback feature of the administra-
tive act of the .Dingley law, and this
could be done, he said, without inter
fering with single schedule or in
any wise revising the tariff. The man.
ufacturers wanted an outlet for their
surplus products, and the demanz TOR
the new markets caused them to real
ize that production had passed beyond
domestic consumption.
He urged the south to increase the
output Of cotton, and said immigra-
ton was needed greatly in the south.
These things, he said would aid ma
terially in solving the race question. A
number of the southern members con-
graduated Lowering when he had con-
cluded.

Rounds at Philadelphis-

Rounds at Philadelphis-
Philadelphia, Feb. 29.-Jack Munroe
outfought Tom Sharkey in their six
round bout at the Second Regiment
armory in this city. Munroe stepped
from the ring without a mark, while
both of Sharkey's eyes were badly
swollen from vicious right and left
swings of the Butte man. In only one
round, the first, did Sharkey have any
advantage over Munroe. After this the
battle was almost wholly in Munroe's
favor.
When Munroe began to find the
sailors stomach Sharkey became wild,
and nearly all of his leads went round
Munr0e's neck. In the fifth round
Munroe had his antagonist in trouble,
and again in the sixth round Sharkey
was in great distress. The blows which
Munroe landed on Sharkey's stomach
went straight from the shoulder and
were hard enough to have knocked out
almost any fighter. The general opin-
ion seems to be that Jeffries will now
be called upon to defend the champion
ship against. Munroe.

ELECTIONS IN CUBA
General Result Is a Victory for the Mod
crate Element in the Politics of
the Island.

Havana, March 2.-More complete
election returns indicate that the Lib
eral Nationalists elected fifteen repre-
sentatives, the Conservative Republic
ans eleven and the Moderate National
lists. a party peculiar to Santiago, five.
OF the six l-ovinces in the island the
Republicans won only in Matanzas and
Santa Clara; moderate liberal candi-
dates, however, were elected in the
provinces of Santiago, Puerto Principe
and Pinar del Rio.
While twenty of the thirty-one rep
resentatives elected are so-called liber-
al, half of this number is opposed to
the principles declared by the Havana
Nationalists, and the result of the cleo
tions is therefore generally regarded
as victory for the moderate element
in politics.
