WASHINGTON NOTES.
Inside infoi'iuati'iti fiom Kuiope con
cerning the backdown of the Enipomr
William f i mil his bin IT, Intending to
m ike Spain and this country believo
that he win ah ut to take a hand in the
deposition of the Philippine, is the
cause of much quu nuiuxcmciii in dip '
loinatic and olll !! utclo. Tn'n bluff'
was the -iiip ntnmiinecnu'iil of
his i'l'.vn'i" . .j ,'''' i tl i on h.'s
waj home ft" . !' li Im''; t ' vi
nnttneement that resulted in an unex
pected stiffening of the backbones oT
tho Spanish peaco commissioners, but
did not change tho American policy by
a hah's-breadth. Tho backdown,
which has made him the laughing stock
of every capital of Europe, except his
own, was tho announcement that, "on
account of tho weather" ho had aban
doned his visit to Spain. The "weath
er in tho caso was a straight tip that
liis intentions toward Spain wero of no
more consequence to tho United Stales
than tho presence of those Gorman
warships in Manila bay wero to Dewey,
and would have no more effect, ami
that if ho was looking for trouble ho
could tind it by meddling in any wny
with Uncle Sam.
Prof. Uobt. T. Hll of tno United
States Geological survey, whoso full
knowledge of tho subject is unques
tioned, said in a lecturo beforo the Na
tional Geographical Society, on "Cuba
and tho Homo Lifo of the People;"
"l'ho opinion regarding the Cubans
which is now, unfortunately, quito
prevalent, ia-vcry laigely erroneous.
They are by no means a lot of thieves,
although, undoubtedly there is a large
class of these on the island. The ling
er part of tho population, however, is
composed of intelligent, fairly well ed
ucated men, who have propel ty inter
ests to guaid and business affairs to
supeiinteud, as in any oilier civilized
country. In mechanical lines, tho Cu
bans have not progressed ns rapidly as
they might, for tlioy aro cssentinlly an
agricultural people As tillers of tho
soil they tank veiy high, and many of
their plantations are models of their
kind. While tho Cuban nrmj con
tained a largo percentage of colored
people, theio are thousands and thous
ands of pure white men, thoroughly
Cuban in heart mid mind. Then, too,
the colored Cuban himself is not such
a bad fellow. In fact Cuba is tho only
one of the West Indian islands, in
which I have found that tho colored
man will work; in Potto Rico and all
the other islands, his wife, like the In
dian squaw, is foiced to pciforni all
tho drudgery. In Cuba, as vu .know,
the coloied man enjoys social privi
leges accorded him in few other pi tees,
but theio is no danger that the island
will ever become Africanized as mtho
negro population is constantly d'eel
mated by diseaso, jvhilo the white
tluives and iucienses in number"
V
It is regarded as reasonably certain
that tho fifty-fifth congress will, beforo
tho close of tho Inst session soon to
opon, appropriate nioro than two bil
lions of dollars, It has already appio
pt lilted more than one billion, and tho
war expenses that must bo provided
for at tlio noxl session, leavo little
doubt that the two billion mail; will bo
reached, Hut thoio will bo no politi
cal cry raised against any appropri
ation inndo necessary by tho war.
s
Privato James S. Sowers, of tho 7lst
Now York, told tho war investigation
commission that the reason tho regu
lars fared better than tho volunteers in
the Cuban campaign, ami elsewhere,
was thnt tho regular ofllcois took caro
of their mon, while the volunteer olll
cere took caro of themselves. IIo is
tho first privato who has told tho com
mission that, but thousands of them
havo told the same thing to their
friends.
V
Thoso who beliovo in tho dominant
power of bread and butter arguments
think that nil of tho democi alio and
populist senatois will try to pi event
an extra session of congress, in order
to havo their friends who hold positions
unlr the Minin keep t Ih-iii until the

jorlty in tho senate, tho p'ttiotiage of
that body is distributed propni tlnnoto
ly to tho voting strong' h of each party.
Howovor,'it is not likely that the pat
ronngo of tho senate will bo a factor in
deciding whether there shall be an ex
tra session of congress. It is true that
if an extra session is held theio will be
a reorganization of tho senato, which
would give tho majority tho big po
sitions, such as secretary and snrgeant-
at arms, but tho minority senators who
havo friVnds holding minor positions,
would have uo trouble in keeping them
in place. Tho senato has always been
moio liboral in this respect with tho
minority than tho house. A Honate
minor olllcial's place is usually secure
as long as his senator keeps his scat,
but not a day longer. In other words,
the senato patronage is controllo I by
individuals moio than by putty. To
deprive a senator of nil of his pap is
regaidedasa violation of "seniitoilal
eourtesv."
Tho talk of Representative D.ilzoll,
of Pennsylvania, who is Speaker
Reed's light hand man in ilie house,
does not bear out the opinion expressed
in some quaitors that a clash is likely
between tho speaker nud the adminis
tration on the colonial policy It Is
generally understood fiat the admin
istration wishes the colonies lo remain
under military rule at least a year be
foio congress attempts to legldato for
them. In reply to a question -s to
whether liu thought iiinin-dliie legis
lation would bj iiccciiry, Mr Dalzell
said: "I do not. 1 think it would ho
jusfnswell to let the mailer lie for a
while. Wo should havo time to study
tho situation and to determine what
hort of legislation is needed. Wo can
run along with n military government
until the conditions arc thoroughly understood.
Musio on tho Graphophone.
Few people niipicoiato the marvelous
power of the Graphophone as an en
tertainer. It is an instrument which,
though it costs much less than the
hast expensive musical iusfitiinent,
will enable its owner to have at pleas
mo music of any kind from that of
tho bagpipe to that of tho great mili
tary hand. It reproduces vocal selec
tions and gives one command of every
pleasure that apponls to, tho senso of
hearing. No investment pays such
huge returns in pleasure. Ho. v, re
producing tho musical iuk other i co
ords Hindu for tutortuiumout pin poses,
tho Graphophone will record imme
diately and reproduce at once ami as
often ns is desired, your own words or
song, or nuy sound. Uy writing to the
Columbia Phonograph Company, 720
722 Olive St., St. Louis, Mo. you can
obtain a catalogue that will give full
information ns to pi ices of Grapho
phone outfits.
A Suro Sign of Croup.
Hoarseuess in a child that is subjeit
to croup is a sure Indication of tho ap
proach of the disease. If Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is givoti ns soon
as tho child becomes lionise, or
even after the croupy cough has ap
peared, it wilt prevent tho attack.
Many mothers wiio ImVe croupy child
ren ulways keep this remedy at hand
and Uud that it saves them very much
trouble and worry. It ran nlwaja bo
depended upon uud is pleasant to take.
