About eighty or ninety republicans were present. There were some very heated speeches. Mr. Colson (y.) left the meeting while it was still in Progress. “We are still in the dark,” he declared in a disgusted tone. “We do not know what the message will be, and, as it is to come in today, we will have to wait to decide upon our course.” Z No proposition was presented to the con- ference, but the tone of other speeches was in favor of vigorous action if the Presi- dent’s message did not met expectation. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota favored a re- publican caucus instead of a conference. In making a motion to that effect he gave as his regsons that in case of any con- siderable number of the members not agreeing with the President in the policy outlined in his message, action should be taken by the republican organization of the House. His plan was to have a special committee appointed, with power to call a caucus, if, in its judgment, such a course was considered advisable, when the Presi- dent’s message should have been received. Mr. Mercer of Nebraska supported a sub- stitute for a conference instead of a caucus to which all republicans should be invited. This plan was agreed to. The hour for holding the conference caused a slight division, but 8 o'clock in the hall of the House was decided upon. — - The conference adjourned ‘at 11:30 a.m. to meet agein at 8 o'clock. The tone of the meeting was strongly against em- pewering the President to intervene at his discretion. But as no absolute infor- mation wes at hand as to the character of the message it was decided to wait until after it had been presented and to meet again at 8 o'clock this evening in the hall of the House. in Forcign Affairs Committee. Four of the republican members of the foreign affairs committee of the House— Messrs. Henry of Indiana, Heatwoie of Minnesota, Smith of Michigan and Quigg of New York—have announced this morn- ing that they will not support the Presi- dent's recommendations if they are as outlined in some of the morning papers, and especially if he asks intervention at his, discretion. Mr. Henry declares that he is In*favor of resolutions "which recite the conditions in Cuba and} the blowing up of the Maine and then -resolve that Spain has forfeited all dominion over Cuba and authorizing the President to use the We want the credit of selling cheap only in connection with” the best.

Nothing will -be done by the committee, however, until, the message is presented. The committee met at 10:30 a.m. “Neither the foreign affairs committee, nor the House, will support'a resolution that does not declare for independence of Cuba in some form,” said’a memtber of the committee after that committee met today, and he added: “It is possible that the res- obution will declare the dominion of Spain in Cuba at an end, if there are reasons why recognition of the present government is deemed inadvisable.” Among members of the House, both re- Publicans and democrats, there was ex- pressed opposition to the suggested plan $5.50 of Gros Grain Silk Shoulder Capes, trimmed with black satin ribbon, lace and jet; silk lined and lace ruching at neck.

He was asked his opinion as to the character of the mine which blew up the Maine, and as to whether it was pos- sible for such a mine to have been located without the knowl2dge of the Spanish au- thorities. To the latter inquiry he replied in the negative, giving his reasons for his opinion, The committee agreed to take no action until after the messag> was received. They adjourned at noon after a general discus- sior of the situation. - The foreign affairs committee is to meet tonight. Smith, Heatwole and Henry, re- publicans, and all the democrats expressed themselves at this morning’s meeting for independence. Admiral Irwin, who had forty years’ experience in the navy, much of it in South American ports, was asked particularly whether he considered the Cu- bans capable of self-government. He replied that he considered them far superior to the people of any of the South American countries which have broken away from Spanish rule, and gave as his reason the fact that the children af all well-to-do Cubans had been educated either in this country or abroad. é In Foreign Relations Committee.

The former, however, has several legal questions of importance oc- cupying his attention, while a son of Judge Bradley is one of the witnesses for the government. In order to arrange matters so that no objection can possibly arise in this regard, District Attorney Davis has taken steps to have Judge Cole preside in Criminal Court No. 1, during the Canty trial. Judge McComas will look after the work of Judge Cole's court while the lat- ter is otherwise engaged. A conference was held yesterday afier- noon between Judge Cole, District Attorney Davis and Mr. A. 3. Worthington of coun- sel for Canty, for the purpose of fixing @ date for the ‘trial. The meeting was ad- journed until today, for the reason that it was found necessary to consult Judge McComas end for counsel to arrange their other engagements before a conclusion could be reeched in regard to the ‘trial. It developed today that the hearing of the large number of suits at law, growing out of the disastrous fire at the Knox stor- age warehouse several years ago, has been arranged for the 18th instant. Judge Mc- Comas, it is stated, declines to continue or reassign the Knox cases. Again, it so happens, both District Attorney Davis and Mr. Worthington are connected with the Knox cases as counsel? It appears this afternoon that either the Canty trial or- the Knox cases will have to give way and, too, for perhaps an in- definite period. Another conference of the Parties mentioned is to be held tomorrow, at which time, it is hoped, the matter will be finally determined.
