They-eould have-agreed-on tt bilt satisfactory to themselves and pass- ed it without the aid of Democratic votes. The Senate Republicans could have accepted the House bill and passed it without the aid of Democratic votes in the Senate, The Senate Republicans could have p assed the Spooner bill with absolute assurance that the House would have sustained it by a majority vote, if not by a Republican vote. Undoubtedly the President would have approved any one of these courses. The obstacles were purely of Re- publican invention, The beat sugar Republicans refused to accede to the Spooner proposal in lieu of the pro- vision in the House bill for the aboli- tion of the differential on retined sugar. A faction of Republican Sen- ators refused to countenance any bill attacking the sugar trust. This fac- tion was led by Senator Aldrich, who made the specious plea that there. ' should be no legislation for Cuba un- less it could be made Republican leg- islation, absolutely refusing to ac- cept the profiered help of the Demo- erats. This was not a manifestation of even ill-conceived party loyalty; it was simply an adroit way of protect- ing the sugar trust on the safe pre- sumption that a solid Republican vote in both branches could not be secured. The Democrats have been unitedly in favor of legislation for Cuba, One of the most enthusiastic demonstra- tions of the session was when Mr. Richardson, the House leader, declar- ed that the Democrats were williig to remain in session all summer in order to pass a Cuban reciprocity bill.

Recently in the presence of servauts the young king informed his mother that he would expel her from the place if she did not respect his wishes.

Mrs, Cleveland the Cause of a Historic Quarrel, New York, June 24.—J. B.( Macon) McCormick gives the following asthe beginning of the coolness between Henry Watterson and Grover Cleve- land: “It is well within the memory of middle-aged men when Grover Cleve- land was President of the United States, and Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, was one of his chief friends and advisers, and not, as he now is, one of hissever- est critics In those days Mr, Wat- terson Was persona grata at the White honse and its frequent visitor, In one of these visits President Cleve- land, who could not spare the time himself from his official duties, re- quested the editor to escort Mrs, Cleveland to the theater. Mr. Wat- terson gladly complied. The star was Clari Morris, and the President's wife was delighted with her perform- a strong desire to meet the actress, ‘That is easily enough arranged,’ said Mr. Watterson, ‘She and Lare old friends; Cll send her a note aud tell her of your wish. She will be de- lighted to meet you.’ “Accordingly, the note was written and ,dispatched to Miss Morris by one of the ushers. In a few minutes it-was-answered-as- Mr, Watterson had anticipated, and at the end of the act the editor escorted Mrs, Cleveland behind the scenes and into Miss Morris’s dressing room, where he introduced the first lady of the land and the emotion actress, Of course, Miss Morris treated Mrs, Cleveland with the greatest consid- eration. After the performance Mr. Watterson escorted Mrs. Cleveland back to the White house. ‘Oh, Grover,’ exclaimed Mrs, Cleveland, ‘I have had a delightful time. I not only saw Miss Morris act, but | met her personally, and found her a charming lady.’ The information was not as pleasant to the President as his spouse expected. On the con- trary, his brow clouded, and, turn- ing to Mr. Watterson he said, in tones of anger: ‘When I confidedmy wife to your care, I expected you to give her all the protection that your age and experience would call for. If my wife desired to meet Miss Morris, j shortly after noon the you-had-e-private-bex, and you cer- tainly could have had them brought together in it. You should not have taken Mrs. Cleveland behind the scenes and into the actress’s dressing room. Such a proceeding was un- dignified, and not the protection | had the right to expect. you to give her. Youshould not have gratified what was more the prank of aschool girl than the behavfor of the first lady of the land, and you should have protected her agaiist her own folly.’ “There was tore said by the Presi- dent of the same tenor. I had this story from Mr: Watterson’s own lips. This was one of the first causes of the break in the friendship which up to that time had existed between the President und the editor. Now it is doubtful if it will ever be restored.” Those who live on farms are espe- cially liable to many accidental cuts, burns and bruises which heal rapidly when Ballard’s Snow Liniment is ap- plied.

COEDS MUST COVER ARMS. launches and Dean Talbot, of Chiengo University, —Forbids Practice of Rolling Up Sleeves and Going Hatless, Miss Marion Talbot, dean of wom- en at the University of Chicago, has decided that it is unseemly and “mannish” for the coeds to be seen around the campus without hats and with the sleeves of their shirt waists rolled up. This practice has become popular with the coeds and the men at the university during these hot days. The girls consider Miss Talbot's ban on the custom a hardship. One | of them said it was “so jolly” to go around with one’s sleeves rojled up, and besides, she said the girls were only following the precedent set by Miss Alice Roosevelt in going with- out their hats.
