At the inistanice of Mr. Frye, (Me.)
consideration of the shipping bill was
resumed. Mr. Frye then mad3 an ap

for a vote upon the pending measure.
He was exceedingly desirous for a

Mr. Jones (Ark.) said he did not

ety-tand expediency of presenting an

ing the Cuban situation, and he, witn
other lawyers of the senate, ate giving
much attention to the subject.
Hone of securing congressional action
upon the Cuban constitution at the
present session of congress has been
quite definitely abandoned and the most
that is hoped f or is to secure a aecitu
