Mr. McKinley Will Probably Reverse That of Mr. Cleveland. OF RECOGNITION THE QUESTION How It Will Be Considered Under the Next Administration. —_+—_——_ MR. SHERMAN’S TALK The understanding is that Mr. Cleve- lend’s Cuban policy will be directly re- versed by the McKinley administration. This does not necessarily mean that the new administration will recognize the inde- pendence of Cuba. The recognition of in- dependence will depend upon the state of affairs existing after the 4th of March. But the policy of attempting a settlement between Cuba and Spain which recog- nizes the sovereignty of Spain will be promptly abandoned. It is held by mem- bers of the foreign reintions committee, who may be regarded as fully in accord with Mr. Sherman, who is to direct the foreign policy of the new admmistration, that the policy adopted by Mr. Clevel a much more radical departure from traditions of the United Sta‘es than is any- thing proposed by the most extreme Cuban ympathizer. Mr. Cleveland's policy is de- ribed as amounting to this: that, recog- nizing the independent sovereignty of Spain over Cuba, Mr. Cleveland propose to s how the island shall be gov erned, to stand sponsor for the gov- ernment being properly administered. The Logical Result. This involves an entanglement of the most extraordinary character and would in its operation amount almost to a pro- tectorate over both Spain and Cuba as to one particular line of action. This is re- garded as the most extreme method of interfering, and one calculated to lead to no end of entanglement. It is held that if that Spain has forfeited her sovereignty over Cuba or has failed to maintain her power against the rebellion We may recognize the independence of the Island. If, however, we agree that this sovereignty has not been d we have no right to di hall be ex- ercised. We may demand disorder injurious to our interests be stopped, but we may not with propricty indicate the method. This policy of Mr. Cleveland's is expected to be repudiated by Mr. McKin- ley. Then, if the situation warrants it, Cuban independence will be recognized: if not, the administration will keep hands off d simply demand of Spain proper prot to American citizens and American in- terests on the Island of Cuba. Se tor Sherman's Utterances, Mr. Sherman is quoted in an interview in Pit saying that the United interfere either to aid in lemeat or to procure peaceable govern- ment in Cuba, and this is interpreted by e@ decide e writer to mean that he sustzins the Cteveland policy. an interpretation is rot regarded ted. On the con- , What Mr. ying poin Cleveland's n is actually quot- > just Such a reversal policy as ind a Senator Sherman's Return. Senator Sherman returned to Washington from Canton on an early train today. He confirmed the report that he had signified to Mafor McKinley his acceptance of the office of Secretary of State, but declined to go into particulars as to his interview with the President-elect. “The other cabinet Places will all be filled in course of time,” he said, “and 1 am not authorized hing a’ © policy of the next Cuban question, the administration on the senator declined to add anything to his Pittsburg interview, except to say that the main effort of th acoming administration would be to preserve peace between this country and foreign natic He declined to outline a policy on the question of arbi- tretion with England, except to say that that matter had been settled, so far as the executive branch of the government is con- cerned by the negotiation of the arbitration treaty. “The subject,” he said, “will be de- bated in the Senate, and I do not feel at Mberty to discuss it elsewhere. eo OLEOMARGARINE CAS The Philadelphia Charges Against Mr. Joseph Wilkins. Joseph Wilkins, a local merchant, and Howard Butler, said to be one of his em- ployes, charged with violating the oleo- margarine laws in Philadelphia last month, today waived a hearing here before United tes Commissioner Mills, and were re- quired to give bonds in the sum of $2,000 to await the action of the federal grand jury at Philadelphia next month. The accused parties, it will be remem- bered, were sail to have been detected by Revenue Officer W. H. H. Bowen in the act of removing revenve stamps and other distinguishing marks from some 12) peck- of oleomargarine at Philadelphi: Speaking of the three indictments receat- ly returned here against Walter P. and Jo- seph Wilkirs, for alleged violations of the oleomargarire laws, District Attorney Bir- ney stated today that he will probably call the cases up for trial within the next seek or two. The cases, he said, will probavly be tried before Judge Bradley, in Criminal Court No. 2. — AN BARLY TRIAL. The Charge of Criminal Libel agat Mr. ©. G. Conn. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter today that he has notified Messrs. Ralston and Siddons, counsel for Charles G. Conn, the former proprietor of the Washington Times, recently indicted fo, criminally libeling District Commissioner Truesdell, that he will call the case up for trial during the week beginning Monday, January 25. Mr. Conn is said to be at his home in In- Giana, but his counsel have, {t is under- stood, notified Mr. Birney that he will ap- pear here for trial at the proper time. The trial will take place before Judge Bradley, it is understood. VEST’S FIGHT ON FRANCIS. Proposition of Cen: and Approval Shelved in the Missouri Legislature. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., January 16.— The Missourt legislature wrangled in both houses over the attitude of Senator Vest on the confirmation of ex-Governor Francis as Secretary of the Interior. In the senate a reeolution censuring Vest was proposed by Senator Gray, a repub- ican, and in the house a representative offered a measure of approval of Mr. Vest’ course.

Speaking of the latter, Mr. Crosby says: “As we nad at the ti of our appear- ance betfore the approprtations committee made an honest investment of a good many thousands of dollars, and as that invest- ment was already threatened with destruc- tion by Judge Bingham’s decision, we urged, with respect.to the particular point of public lighting, concerning which we ap- peared before the appropriations commit- tee, that language should be used leaving no doubt of the fact, if sueh was the intent of Congress, that the United States Elec- tric Lighting Company had the sole right to do this work. It was not then, nor did it appear later to {he committee, a question of the territory in which ‘such public light- ing was to be done.” - Interesting Conversation. ‘The inclosure referred to in Mr. Crosby’s letter relates to an alleged conversation be- tween Mr. Stevens, Mr. F. B. Conger and Mr. Goldsmith, and is ‘signed by_ Charles P. Williams. The statement follows: BALL DECORATIONS The Design to Be Considered Tonight by the Executive Committee.

The mission of the ship, according to the rec- ords of the Navy Department, is “to pro- tect American interests,” but the more definite reason for the trip is to afford Mr. Barrett, the United States minister and consul general at Bangkok, moral sup- port in certain representations he has made to the Siamese government in respect to the treatment of Mr. Edward V.

RUSHING THE WORK CURRENT CABINET GO; ——— IP INTERESTING MEETINGS Se ———»-___ The action of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia on the subject of the Cockrell joint resolution, reported in The Star yesterday afternoon, has sent an electric shock of tremendous power through every one connected with the electric light companies of the District of Columbia. No one seems to doubt that the action of the committee in determining to make a favorable report on this resolution to the Senate will be followed by its passage by the Senate, and its adoption by Congress would result in stopping the work now under way by the Potomac Electric Power Company, which fs laying seven miles of CANTON, Ohio, January 16.—Two iistin- guished Pennsylvanians arrived in Canton this morning from the east on the 10:26 o’clock train. They were Senator Matthew S. Quay and Boiese Penrose of the key- stone state. They were met at the depot by Secretary Chas. O. Cooper of the Mc- Kinley household and driven in a coach directly to the McKinley home, where they were cordially welcomed by the President- elect. Senator Quay’s last visit was prior to the national convention, but many at the depot recognized his familiar features as he step- ped from the Pullman coach.
