formidable Issue between llieuxecutivo
und legislative branches of tho gov

tho following Interview given nut. by
Secretary Olney today: ! havo no
objection to stating my own view of
tho resolution ruspuoting the Indepen
dence of tho so-rullcd uipubtlc of
Cuba. Indeed, ns thcro nic likely
to bo serious misapprehensions iu
glirding such resolution, both in
this country nnd nbrond, nnd us such
apprehensions muyliuw injurious re
sults of n grave ehm'ticlcr, it is perhaps
my duty to point out that tho resolu
tion, If passed by the Senate, run be
regarded only nsnu expression of opin
ion by tho eminent gentlemen who
vote for It in tho .Semite and, If passed
by the Houso of Representatives, It
can only bo regarded us another ex
pression of opinion by the eminent
gentlemen who vote for it in tho
House. Tho power to recognize tho
so-called republic of Cuba us tin hide
pjtidctit statu reits exclusively with
tlo Executive
"A resolution on tho subject by tho
senate or by the house or by both bod
ies, or by one, whether concurrent or
joint, is inoperative as legislation and
Is important only as ndvlco of great
weight voluntarily tendered to the ex
ecutive regarding tho manner In which
ho shall exercise his constitutional
functions. Tho operation and effect
of tho proposed resolution, therefore,
oven if passed by both houses of con
gress by n two-thirds vote, nro per
fectly plain. It may raise expecta
tion In some quarters which can
novor bo realized. It may inllamo
popular passions both in this country
and elsewhere, may thus put in peril
tho lives and property of American cit
izens who nro resident and traveling
abroad, and will certainly obstruct,
nnd perhaps defeat, tho best efforts of
this government to afford suchcitlzons
due protection, lint except in these
ways and unless the ndvlce embodied
In the resolution shall lead tho Execu
tive to revise conclusions already
reached and ofllcially declared the res
olution will be without effect and will
leave unaltered tho attitude of this
government towards the two contend
ing parties in Cuba.
8KNATOK HHVE'S COMMUNIS.
Senator Fryo of the committee on
foreign relations, after reading Secre
tary Oluey's statement, said: "I havo
no doubt thnt a majority of tho com
mittee believe that if tho resolution is
passed by u two-thirds voto over the
vuto of tho president, It would then
become a law and that tho executive
would be compelled to execute it ns
lie, is any other law on the statute
books. 1 think, too, that the majority
of tho members of tho committee,
are of tho opinion that tho Sec
retary of Stato is wrong in his
opluion that tho recognition of tho re
public as an independent state rests
exclusively with tho executive. As
one member of the committee, I havo
bqen inclined to think he Is right nn
this point, and havo not fully deter
mined what the effect would bo if tho
resolution should pass notwithstand
ing tho President's veto. 1 nm so
Strongly Impressed that it is the duty
of the United States in some way to
put a stop to tho horrible slaughter
und barbarous brutality in nn island
almost in sight of our shores, thnt I
am disposed to give tho insurgents tho
benefit of all doubts."
The advocates of tho resolution ex
press their willingness to forego
specchmtikiug in order to facilitate
action by the Senate, and say that so
far ns they can havo any inllueuco tho
opponents of the resolution will be al
lowed to do tho tulklng, Tho oppo
nents of tho resolution do not hesitato
to express their purpose to prevent its
passage by any menus in their control.
Senator Halo of Maine will lead tho
opposltltion In case Senutor Allison
shall be unable to resume hisseut after
tho holidays. Mr. Hale will bo acting
chairman of the committee on appro
priations and this position can lo used
by him to great udvantage'iu opposing
tho Cuban declaration. Ho will b
supported by Senators I'ottlgrow,
Aldrich, and others.
Tho opposition count upon hearing
from the conservative business inter
ests of tho country during the recess
in a way to materially weaken tho
chances for tho resolution.
run AN A1VOtVIKS confidkxt
The supporters, of the resolution nro
confident of its success if u vote can b
reached. Senators Davis, Frye, Lodge
and Morgan, nil members of the for
oign relations committee, express con
fidence in the passage of the resolu
tion. They rite the adoption of the
Cuban amendment to the immigration
bill as an indication of the feeling of
the Senate on tho Cuban iiucstlon, and
say they will havf a two-thirds ma
jority on both sides of the chamber If
the vote shall lo reached.
CONFLICT OF I'OWKIIS I'OSSUII r.
Of course Secretary O'noy's state
ment indicates clearly that if tho joint
resolution shall ever pnss both
branches of Congress and bo sent to
the President the tattei i cto it
not ouly on the e,iouiul of uiijtolicy
but also became It constitutes nn In
fringement of his own prerogatives.
Moreover, Oie secretary, in almost as
many words, 6ays that no ottcntion
will bo paid to tho will o! Congress in
this matter, even if tho resolution
is passed over tho President's veto.' In
this caso a grave conflict of powers of
two brnnchesof the government might
be expected to follow, though just how
the issue may be made up so that
It can be reached by the supremo
court, tho arbiter of all questions of
constitutionality, is not clear at pres
ent. It is suggested, however, thnt if
the issue shall go to that length, con
gress muy achieve its purpose indirect
ly by the exercise of n power certainly
confided to it exclusively by tho con
stitution, namely, by a declaration of
war, which is, after all, in tho judg
ment of many authorities, only what
tho recognition of the independence of
Cuba under existing conditions would
mean.
Senator Sherman declared that ho
did not believe that tho passage of the
Cameron resolution would menu war.

of tho United States. Resides, If
tho Cubans could then lnniiium to nut

their flag would then admit them to
United States ports under tho protec

United States could not, under the Oe

this recognition of independence would
involve tho recognition of a stato of
wnr, neither the Spanish government
nor the Cubans wouly bo permitted to
equip warships or military expeditions
in the United States, and this country
would observe strict netralitv towards

past year lias given ngriculturo such
an impetus in theso two stales that all
other industries have in a measure
been overshadowed. Tho Rurllngton
ltailrond company has established u
number of experiment stations or
"model farms" in order to demonstrate
the advantage of tho most improved
methods of soil culture and lead farm
ers of Nebraska and Kansas to new ef
forts In this direction and cnnblo them
to become independent even in tho so'
called "drouth sections" and "dry
years." Incidentally tho company ex
pects returns from its investments in
increased and regular crops, necessi

John Francis has just returned from
a trip over Nebraska nnd Kansas,
where he has established model farms
at Oberlin, Kan., and at McCook, Hold

Something wns done in this lino by the
company last year and with immensely
satisfactory results. Tho farms con
sist of forty ncrcs in each station un
der tho immediate supervision of a
practical and tried farmer of tho neigh
borhood. Each farm will bo visited
frequently by one of the learned corps
of Prof. Campbell, who aro skilled in
tho new methods. Nebraska and Kan
sas farm staples, corn, .wheat, rye, oats
and potatoes, will be produced.
The farming at tho experiment sta
tions is conducted primarily on tho the
ory that tho rainfall of the West is am
ple and abundant for nil practtclal
farming purposes, but that owing to
capillary attraction, tho moisturo es
capes from the earth before it perforins
its proper nnd desired functions. Tho
new method will contribute to retard
the action of nature's law at critical
moments nnd retain the moisturo.
Experience has demonstrated that
the virgin soil of tho western prairio
is hard and dry to an unknown depth.
However, wnere the surface has been
disturbed and capillinry attraction in
terfered with, the same soil, under ex
actly similar conditions otherwise, is
moist nnd mellow ns desireu by farm
cts. On this theory tho small grain

Watering Plants In Winter.
There is far more danger of giving
house plants too much rather than tco
little water in winter. During the
short days and long nights, with very
little sunlight on the soil it is hard to
keep it at a temperature where the
plants can grow vigorously, All the
surplus water added lowers tho tem
perature until it reaches a point where
he plants barely exist without making
nny growth If the soil has much veg
etable matter, humic acjd will be de
veloped and a low temperature and
this will poison the plant roots.

Saving Dry ICnad Dust.
One of tho jobs which should be at
tended to before cold weather is to save
a few barrels of dry road dust lo bo
used ns dust baths for liens in winter.
Nothing contributes more to the health
of heus than this. Coal ashes will an
swer, but they stick to the feathers of
fowls worse than road dust will, and
give the birds an unsightly appearance
The road dust is coarser, and we think
the fowls like to roll in it better than
in thu white, fine dust thut comes
from sifting coal aslica

The reading matter of tho chronic
invalid and the convulescent is a com
plicated subject that receives too scant
attention. Absolute requirements cer
tainly arc a freedom from morbidness,
something bright nnd amusing, that
also demands little thought. It is well,
too, to decide upon a story that has
plenty of vigorous action not exhaust
ing, hairbreadth escapes in ono of
those healthy works that makes tho
reader feel as if he had been exercis
ing himself. The enjoyment of this
book will gently tiro him and often
superinduce refreshing sleep.

A handsome, well dressed young
woman wns standing at the curb on
Mnrket street, waiting for a car. Tho
rain was falling steadily and a dclugo
was pouring down through the rents
of tlic umbrella upon her silk and
plumes.
"Why, you arc fairly drenched," ex
claimed a friend who had observed her
plight. "That umbrella of yours
doesn't shed a drop of water."
"Oh, but see what a lovely handle it
has," and she held it up admiringly.
