The ship subsidy bill was then taken up, and Messrs. McLaurin and Morgan, both Democrats, made speeches upon it. Mr. McLaurfn announced bis intention to knpport the bill, and Rtr. Morgan opposed it in vigorous language. He asked Air. Allison for an estimate of the appropriations for the present session, and the latter replied that he thought the aggregate would be about 1760,000,000. Mr. Hale expressed the opinion that the figures would be nearly $800,000,000. The San Andreas mine is the most celebrated silver mine in Mexico. It is valued at $20,000,000 and has produced many millions of dollars worth of ore. * WJ" They learned that the president has not only tndeuvored to impress upon congress and the country the need of meeting this issue fairly and squarely, but ho has also tried to make the Cuban constitution makers see that the course the.v wore pursuing would inevitably lead to their chagrin if the constitution in proposed form was sent to Washington. With this purpose in view General Wood was instructed, privately and unofficially, to tell the Cuban loaders that their constitution will not bo approved by thi« government and the United States troops will not be withdrawn until they havo recognized in the constitution the right of the United States to intervene whenever it becomes necessary.Sale Betfas F«b. 9, la Bi Among other rumor* was one to th? effect that the $200,000,000 underwriting syndicate, with J.

The debate hovered about three topics, railway mail pay, pneumatic tube service and special fast mail facilities, but it bore no fruit. The amendment to reduce the rate of railway mail pay was ruled out on a point of order, the amendment to continue the pneumatic tube service in New York, Boston and Philadelphia was abandoned with the purpose of making the fight in the senate, and the motion to strike out the appropriations for special mail facilities was defeated.

If the Cuban constitutional convention does not heed these suggestions, it is like ly that the senate will add an amendment to the appropriation bill instructing the president to insUt upon such concessions before permission Is given the Cubans to form irgovernment under their new constitution. If the matter is not covered by an amendment to the appropriation bill, a joint resolution may be passed to the same effect. THE BIG STEEL DEAL.

It is the aim of the syndicate to make its incrests iudependent of the bituminous coal companies. john o'D. mm This will obviate the necessity for an extra session. Congress will then make known its wishes in the matter and vest the president with full authority under the terms, specifically stated, to handle the Cuban question himself. By doing this congress will take its just share of the responsibility. It was stated yesterday by a high offl cial that the influence of the United States authorities in Cuba has been exerted to secure as democratic a form of government for the new republic as possible. The idea is to avoid the centralization of power that prevails in most of the Spanish-American republics. The constitution now under consideration is liberal in this respect, and General Wood reports that ho hopes it will be made more so before the convention adjourns finally. He is encouraging tin* Cubans to provide for the election by the direct vote of the people of the officers of municipalities, the provinces and the republic and leave the president comparatively little patronage and power.

Then rising in her seat and turning about so she could face tho women who had crowded the courtroom Mrs. Nation began to sing, "Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow." Her followers took up the strain, and the courtroom was temporarily turned into a praise meeting. Judge Magraw commanded that the disturbance cease, but Ohief of Police Stahl, who has openly favored Mrs. Nation's work, interrupted with, "Go ahead, ladies, and sing "all you want to."
