Tho debate on tho address is lo last nine
days. Four of thu days havo been abso
lutely appropriated to Irish amendments,
leaving live to affairs of the rest of the em

taken up by Irish speeches. Thero Is no

Tho ministers recognize that , the Irish
party Is onco again u force to bo reckons 1
with, and tho Irishman, finding parliamen

but also on foreign and Hrltlsh affairs.

"Ono-fourth of tho population In Ireland

T.tv nhlpp.t In uncnklnz Irish on Tuesday

CABINET DRAFTS DECISION

Completed.
LONDON, Feb. 23. Tho draft of tho
cabinet's decision on tho senato amend
monts to the Hny-Pauncofoto treaty Is in
process of being drawn up in the Foreign
ofllco. It Is qulto posslblo thnt tho rcoly
o Secretary Hay's noto may bo trans
mitted through Lord Puuucefoto Instead of
through Mr. Chonte, though Lord Lans
downo has not yet Indicated which medium
ho prefers. Diplomatic precedent ruther
favors making Lord Pauucefote tho benrcr
of tho message. What tho exact tiaturo of
tho ltrltlsb counter proposals are Is kept
secret. It is safe to say. If they are con
sldered at nil by tho United States, no con
clusion will bo reached at a dato beforo
ho Hay-Paunccfote tre'nty lapses.
So far, tho United States embassy Is with
out tho vaguest Indication of Great Britain's
reply, nnd Mr. Choato has not received any
summons ffom tho Foreign ofllco. In tho
ordinary courso of events, ho will pay his
weekly diplomatic vlBlt Tuesday nnd It Is
possible tho unswer may bo delayed until
then. Even thnt will be speedy procedure
for tho Foreign ofllco, as tho cumbersome
machinery of tho cabinet and government
offices works much slowor as a genoral
ruio.
Unofllcinl rumors persist In putting down
Alaska among tho subjects Great Drltaln Is
desirous of having settled prior to meet

A ropresentatlvo of tho Associated Press
learned thut tho Colonial olllco hns been
busily engugod In gathering Alaska data
within tho last few weeks, and this may
be taken to some extent as confirmation
of tho report. However, Mr. Chamber
lain's department bus serious doubts as
to whother tho United States will consider
Maska and Nicaragua in one breath. It
may ho related without n shadow of doubt
that tho Hay-Pauncefoto treuty will lapse
barring ulways tho possibility of tho State
department s speedy acceptance of con
ditions that In tho ordinary course of events
would tako months to negotiate. The coun
ter proposals are not mado In tho belief
thut they are ImposBlblo of acceptance
though they are, or rather will be, sug
gosted with thorough cognizance of tho
fact that no satisfactory conclusion could
bo reached within tho tlmo remaining bo

WASHINGTON, Fob. 23. The proposl-
lons embodied In tho proposed nmondtr.cnt.
considered nt today's committee meeting,
Include tho following points!
Thnt the United States shnll huvu super
vision ot nil treaties "h foreign countries
nmilo by tho republic of Culm.
'1 hat Cuba shull nut iinuertuke to lny the
debt incurred by Spain in Its war with Culm
nor to or alter m intervention or mo
lilted States.
That Culm bIihII agree either to lease or to
oil to tlir United ritntes such coaling or
naval stations ns In the opinion ot the
president of the United Suites may bo
!iecet)!ury to tho protection of thu Interests
of this country.
i mu i lie t'liiicti mimics snail nave sum
lent supervision of tho laws of Cuba relat
ing to Kuuttutlon tu protect tills country
from epldtmlcs liable to originate there.
The Idea Is that these provisions shall
bo Included in u treaty to be made with
Cuba, but that they need not bo a part ot
tho Cuban constitution. It Is understood
that tho draft of the amendment contain
ing theso provisions was submitted to tho
prcsidont and tho secretary of war and
hat they expressed approval of them. Tho
minority members ot tho commttteo ex
pressed themselves willing to come to au
understanding upon theso general lines. In
deed, sumo of tho most Important sugges
tions were made by tho minority, Senator
llutler of North Carolina being one of the
foremost movers In the matter. They. In.
1st, however, upon many verbal amend-
mints, thus evincing a determination to aid
n giving form to tho provision as woll
s suggesting ltd general tenor.
When tho committee adjourned today
there were still qulto Important dliilcultlcs
to bo reconciled and tho members scp
nrated with the understanding that another
meeting would bo held on Monday.
Agreement Ik Not Certain.
Tho merubeni on both sides of the com
mlttee express tho hope that an ngreemcnt
would bo reached, but all said that thj
proceedings had not gone far enough to
render It ccrtnlu that this result would bo
attained. Ono Important point to which
the committee is, giving especial attention,
although that point mnj not be empha
sized or even mentioned In tho proposed
amendment, is the relation of Cuba to tho,
Ulo of Pines. Thero is some disposition
among tho Cubans to hold on to that island,
so near their shores, whllo there Is np
parently no disposition on tho part of tho
United States to releaso that possession, on
tho ground that tho Island was acquired
as a result of the Spanish war.
Thero Is also moro or less contention
over tho exact meaning of tho word "pnclfl-
catlon," ns used In tho Teller resolution.
That resolution provided that tho United
States forces should be removed from the
nlnnd when It should become "pacified.
Tho contention Is that this is a word that
may bo broadly Interpreted and mny permit
tho United States troops to remain for a
ong period of timo. Apparently nil the
members of the committee unite In tho
opinion that thero will bo no possibility of
withdrawing tho American forces until aftor
tho election nnd Installation of Cuban olll
clsls under the new constitution.
Thero will bo an effort to report the
amendment Monday or Tuesday, as thero is
a general desire to havo It become a part
of the army appropriation bill, tho con
slderatlon ot which hns already begun In
the senate.
Cutmu Not of One Mind.
HAVANA. Feb. 23. Tho constitutional
convention's committee on relations be
tvieen tho United States and Cuba held n
Icng session thiB afternoon and afterward
conferred with a number of delegates to
the convcutlon, At the prlvato session the
members of tho convention unanimously
agreed that somo form of relations should
bo drawn up showing the gratitude of Cuba
to tho United Stntes, but these relations,
they also agreed, must be in conformity
with tho views of tho people of Cuba and
must not endanger tho sovereignty of tho
republic.
Tho right ot tho United States to Inter
vene for tho preservation of peacb and tho
establishment nnd maintenance of naval
stations by tho Americans were considered
dangerous to Cuban sovereignty and on
these two questions tho dlfllculty hinged
It Is understood that tho commltteo was
agreeable to accepting tho provision of
tho treaty of Paris with reference to the
former clnuse, giving tho United States
the right to Intervene, however, only when
the republic's sovereignty Is endangered or
the government Is Incompetent to preserve
pence, A compromise was suggested with
refererico to tho question of naval stations
providing that It bo agreed that the Unite
States be allowed to fortify and occupy
forts In timo ot war the samo as at the Dry
Tortugas,
Tho commltteo will moot Monday morn

Even tho ministers resent over his Inter
ference in matters which tho queen never
touched, Ho has been having long reports
direct from General Kitchener, whom he
piled with questions about the state of tho
army and tho conduct nf the war. It is
uspected thnt this has been inspired by
bis nephew, tho kaiser.
As to tho king's health, the World cor
respondent traced tho origin of the recent
alarming report bofore the queen's death to
his throat giving him trouble. A consulta
tion of surgeons was held nnd they pro
nounced him to be suffering from smoker's
throat in an aggravated form, and, In view
of tho family tendency to cancer they or
dered hlra to give tip smoking. Tho king
positively refused at first, but finally, as a
compromise, undertook to smoko only three
cigars dally and drop cigarettes altogether.
Formerly his quota was eight or lm clgara
and twenty or thirty clrgarettos.
It Is understood the doctors formally
warned him that they did not regard this
as compliance with their advice, and that
tho present throat affection may possibly
bo converted Into n malignant disease if he
persists In smoking.

CHICAGO. Feb, 21. (Special Telegram.)
Lant K, Salsbury, city attorney of Grand
Rapids, Mich., accompanied by his legul ad
viser and two detectives from tho Martin
Whlto agency, arrived In Chicago un n
Michigan Central train nt 11:30 o'clock last
nlcht.
Iu tho pocket of Detcctivo William Tur
ner wns $50,000 In currency, which wns
taken, it whs said, by Salsbury from n
safety deposit vault In tho Illinois Trust
nnd Havings bank recently.
Tho party wns met nt the stntlon by n
corps of dotectlvcs and representatives ot
Guy C. Hnrton, millionaire of Omnhn, nnd
C. E. Loss, railroad contractor of Chicago.
Attorney Crofoot of Omaha was In tho
pnrty, nnd ho led tho way to carriages.
which wcro In waiting for tho detectives
nnd their companions. All wcro ilrlvon to
tho main entrance of tho Union League club,
where tl.ey mado a prctenso nf entering.
However, they turned and walked into the
Grand Pacific hotel, where Darton Is quar
tered. At an early hour this morning tho party
wns In consultation, and it Is said that tho
$30,000 carried by Dotoctivo Turner wns
paid over to Mr. Darton. This nmount Mr.
Ilarton hns alleged was Molcn from tho
safety deposit vaults ami "ono Salisbury" Is
now under Indictment for Its alleged thoft.
Two Million-Dollar Deal.
Ilehlnd the mysterious disappearance of
tho money nnd the resultant notion ot lliir-
ton befOVo tho grand Jury Is n story of a
11,000,000 contract, to secure which ono of
tho attorneys lu tho case says 1125,000 wut to
be used .as, a lobby fund nmong Michigan
nlTlclats. According to this lawyer, In con
sideration for $125,000 Ilarton was to re
ceive n contract of $1,000,000 to put lu a
now wotcrworkB system at Grnnd Rapids.
The deal wns being engineered, this lawyrr
states, by C. E, Loss, a wealthy railroad
contractor, with offices In tho Pullman
building.
Some days ngo Mr. Ilarton met City At
torney Salsbury In Chicago to prepare tho
preliminaries, und $50,000 wns put up In
escrow, pending tho securing of the con
tract. Tho lawyer says that the $50,000
was a portion of tho fund of $125,000 in
tended for tho Michigan peoplo, Mr. Ilar
ton, Mr. Sulsbury nnd othors Interested met
In tho Illinois Trust and Savings bank, where
Salsbury had rented a safety deposit vault
under tho name of William Wood Tho C0,
000 In currency was produced nnd placed In
tho box, with tho understanding thut Mr.
Darton wns to carry tho key, says this at
torney, until the denl was completed.
Sallshury, nccordlhg to this attorney,
took tho deposit box to a place In the
vault, and while so doing, It Is charged, ho
removed tho big roll of bills and substi
tuted a wad of paper.
Could Not "Deliver I he (JooiU."
A few days later Mr. Ilarton learned
that Representative Durns had Introduced
a bill lu tho Michigan leglsluturo for a
referendum voto on tho $t,OJo,000 contract
proposition. It appeared that tho deal
could not ho carried through, nnd that thu
Michigan peoplo could not "deliver the
goods,"
Mr, Darton visited tho safety deposit
vaults and found thut tho monoy was miss
ing, Ho hastened to Omuhu and soon re
turned to Chicago with his uttornoy, Mr.
Crofoot. Tho Martin Whlto Detectivo
ugency was employed In tho case, and ono
of Its operatives was hurried to Grand
Rapids. They began to shadow City At
torney Salsbury, In tho mpantlmo Dartou
failed lu an attempt to obtain tho roturn
of tho money, and he appealed to the crund
Jury, the indictment against "ono Sallshury,
nllan William Wood," being voted.
Whon. tho dotectlvcs approached Salsbury,
according to tho attorney Interested In
tho case, tho Grand Rapids ofllclal con
tented to roturn tho monoy and acrom
pnny them to Chicago. Dotectlvo Turner
wns mado custodian of tho $50,000, and
tho party left Grand Rapids this after
noon. Tho attorney Bays thut Darton, Loss and
all the other persons concerned are now
anxious to "forgot", tho wholo transaction,
us tho big fund has been returned and It
Is not dcemod dcalrnblo to stir up thu
Michigan officials Into nny Investigation.
However, a big sensation Is In prospect,
which may ond seriously for somo Michigan
officials, '
Every posslblo subterfugo was resorted to
last night by those concerned In tho
$50,000 transaction to covor their tracks,
Tho greatest secrecy wss enjoined, and no
one would go further than to try to mis
lead persons making Inquiries. Several
days ago Ilarton changed his rooms from
tho Palmer houso to the Grand Pacific and
did not register.
Clean llrrat to Nlnle' Attorney.
The wholo story has been rolated lo
Stato's Attorney Doneon. Tho persons In
terested wore slow to disclose, tho facts
to tbo ofllclal, but whon tho grand Jury In
vciitlgatlon was under way a clean breast
of everything wns mado to Mr. Deneon.
Today thnt ofllclal was Informed that Suls
bury would return tho money. Detcctivo
Hanley of tho central station hud been In
wultlng to go at onco to Grand Rapids to
arrest Salsbury on tho Indictment, but tho
new turn ot affairs ended bis connection
ties, however, were forewarned.
