CONCESSIONS TO CUBA Republicans Will Support a Bill to Be Framed Soon Washington, May 15. A meeting of rhe Hermblican members of the Senate Committee on Relations with Cuba will le held witiain a few days, a soon as Senator McAIillan returns from Michi gan, and a Cuban reciprocity tariff bill. to the passage of wh:h the Republi can Senators as a body will be com mitted in a'dvance, will be framed. Senator Aldrich, the political mana ger of the Republicans, returned to Washington today, and after talking with his colleagues oa both tides of tHio chamber had a conference witih Senator Ilat: of Connecticut, chairmau cf the Cuban committee, when the sanation in the Senate was discussed. The bill which Senator platt favors and which will probably receive t!he endorsement of the Repub!ican caucus, is one that he fiias always faTored and provides for a 23 per cent reduction in tariff rates on Cuban imports into the United fates to take effect whenever equiva lent reduction shall have been mad by the Cnbn government on products of the United Stat en going into Cuba. Senator Rurrows and one or two oth er radical bee: , sugar men have during the pant few. days set tip the claim that after the 2Jth of Tklay when tde new Cuban government Is to be installed it will not be possible for the United States to make any commercial arrange ments with Cuba except by form qf a treaty requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate, and that therefore it will be necessary to abandon the plan of reducing the Cuban tariff. Senator Platt, however, who Is a profound law- yer and woo aas atuaiea me tnnan qcestion probably more thoroughly than any other man In the Senate, says there is no force whatever In this contention.

Bishop Candler of Georgia .presided over tine session of tne general confer ence today. He makes an ideal presid ing officer. Much business was trans acted. The committee on, itinera-nce present ed for passage the nirmorlal from the North Carolina conference.' in regard to conference papers. Dr. Jno. Wijls-m of South Carolina read the papers defending the majority of the committee di publishing interests of the session of 1S98 against -the paper presented a few days ago by. Judge Strother of California. Judge Strotfher presented a paper in rebuttal of cer tain points. .... The remainder of tke report of tfce Cf.mmittee oji education presented, by Dt. AV. F. Tillett of Tennessee was considered by the conference' in sec tions and was adopted. ThfsJ means a wonderful forward step on the part of the church in the matter of ' education. The long-looked for report of he committee on publishing interests is ex pected every day. The presentation will precipitate one of the most memorable debates in the history of the church. BAILEY'S NAME SENT TO SENATE Raleigh Postmaster "to Have Another TermThe Ap palachian Bill .May Come Up Today Washington, May 15. Special. Sen ator Simmons called upon the President today and discussed with him the nomi nation of Mr. Mullen to be postmaster at Charlotte. It is understood that it is probable that no action will bo ta.ieu upon Mr. Mul- ns confirmation during this session. and that his term will therefore expire with the adojurnment of Congress. In the meantime the President, it Js .un derstood, will inform himself with re ference to the charges against (Mr. Mul en, and in the light of the evidence will make an original appointment. Senator Pritchard, who returned from sheville 'cout today, is still inclined to favor Mullen's prompt confirmation. Chairman Burton, of the Senate com mittee on forest reservations, said today that he hoped to have the Appalachian ark bill brought up in the Senate to morrow. The Senate committee on pnblic build ings and grounds has adopted aa amend ment leaving the matter of selecting a site for the public building at Eliza beth City to the direction of the Secre tary of the Treasury. The citizens of that nlace have been unable to agree on the site, and it has been the sub ject of much controversy between the various factions. , The President today sent to the Sen ate the nomination of Christopher ' T. Railey to be postmaster at Raleigh X. C. The nominations of George Randolph to be United States district attorney for the western district of Tetlnessee and of Holt F. Butt. Jr.. to be postmaster at Portsmouth, Va.. and Xewton Jj. Wilson to be postmaster at Bkcton, Ala., were also sent in. Xone of tfrese was reached in the course of the brief executive ses sion held before the Senate adjournedj AN ENTRANCE TO BIRMINGHAM The Seaboard Air Line Sees the Way Clear to Real ize Its Hopes - Baltimore. May 15. Developments of the past few weeks indicate that the Sea board Air Line will be running trains into Hirmingham, Ala., within a. com paratively short time. They may not be operated over tracks owned by the Seaboard Air L.ine, as such, but they will be run over a line built in the interest of that corporation. AA lrh this end in view the Seaboard Air Line or its friends bought the Bast & West Railroad, running from Carters ville. Ga.. to Poll Citv. Ala.. 11G miles. The road was purchased from the Eu gene Kelly estate, of New York city. The deal was made some few days ago, birt the price and the details coufdiDOt be learned today. ' President John Skelton Wjlliame, Aice President J. M. Barr and J. Wil liam Middendorf have been In pir mingham for some days, leaving there yesterday for the north. Air. Midden dorf is expected home Monday. His visit to the south has been contemplated for some time, but has been deferred because of illueas. His desire ha9 been to inspect tfiie properties of the Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron Com pany in which he is deeply interested. At the same time there is reason to lelieve that plans of the Seaboard were also given serious consideration. NIXON UPSETS f THINGS iJENERALLY Chairman Griggs Will Try to - Get the Ruffled Situation . Smoothed Over Washington, May 15. Chairmau Griggs ;of the Democratic Congressional.-cmxnittee,, left Washington todav ior New-York' to confer with Democrats, in that city upon the -effect of the- change in ; the -Tammany "organization on the Congressional campaign. The resigna tion of I r. Lewis Xlxon f romf the ehief talnsblp .of Tammany may, it is feared, disarrange some of, the well laid: plans of the Congressional . organization -1ir. Nixon -hid been 'chosen by theTDemo cratle Congressional committee', to" be chairman; of the finance committee of that body. --- ' 4 ; Chairman Griggs will earnestly urge Mf. Nixon rto -remain at the head-'of the finance committee, unless it should de velop thatthe'strained relations threat ened between Mr. Nixon and the ; rink and file of the Tammany 'men migh react to the. detriment of the general Democratic good.

'Richard Oroker was seen at Moat House, Wantage, Berks, this afternoon in regard to the resigna tion "of Jjewis Nixon as leader of Tam many Hall and the statement made by Mr. Nixon that he had resigned because of the dictation by Mr. Croker.. Mr. Croker said: "I have npt been . dictating to Mr. Nixon. On the contrary I have been takrng.no active -.interest In New York politics and have wired everybody to support Nixon. It was a benevolent and not a political question, and Nixon had no cause to resign. I am sorry and' hope he will reconsider his determina tion. . It will be a serious inconvenience to the party organization if he refuses J to reconsider his decision. I will give no advice because my enemies will talt and say I am dictating New York poli-a tics from abroad." 'MADRID IS ALL GAY The Coronation Attracts Mul- S titudes of Stringers iradrid,"3Iay 15. The festivities in eo32iction-,with the coronation of -the king tire proceeding' without a hitdli. T3le weather todav is generally fair, with an occosional . shower. The light rainfall, however, has no material ef fect on the merrymakers, and the streets are crowded. The scene in the streets is. most picturesque. All the buildings are elaborately hong witih bunting; and this, added to the bright uniforms of soldiers aria the dresses of the women makes the.city a kaleidoscope of colors. There has been a heavy Influx of vic tors from thfi provinces and abroad. Government officials say there are at present 70,000 strangers in the city, and others are still coming. The football match held today was attended by a vast concourse. At noon the foreign ambassadors t the coronation were presented to King Alfonso. Public interest tooay centers in the expected arrival of the foreign princes. The Dukes of Genoa and Oporto are already ihere. All the princes, both Spanish and foreign, will be tendered a grand banquet in the palace this evening. A noteworthy fact In connection with the reception was that Dr. J. L. M. Cn-rry, the American special envoy, was the first of the foreign envoys to be received by the king. He drove to the palace in a royal landau, attended by the Marquis of Villalobar. A guard of honor was drawn np in the court yard to receive "him. He was ushered imme diately into the royal reception hall in company with Secretary Slmpkins, im mediately after the papal nuncio and before any of the other envoys. King Alfon60 and Queen Regent Christina welcomed Dr. Curry in a most cordial manner. , Fort de France, May.x 15. The ap proach to St. Pierre is easier. The fires in the wrecked buildings-of the city are extinguished and representatives of the commercial houses from Fort.de France are digging , in the debris, of houses and stores, in search of documents and valu ables. ; - The-' town is .a mass 6f indescribable ruins which bear a striking resemblance to those of Pompeii. In. the lower part of -the town called the .-Mouiliege the outlines Of the. streets 'crin be made out. and In places here"' and there are stretches of walls of houses several yards long -which are still erect, but battered and crushed in at the. top. The number of the victims is so great an piaces that ' in the great heaps of commingled dead identification 'of indi viduals is very difficult. The deadly odor of the putrefying bodies makes the work of handling them not only horrible and offensive, but dangerous to the s-eareherB as well. Thus far two f hou sand bodies hare been found and dis entangled from the ruins. Of these 502 have beeii buried. A noticeable thing is that petroleum will not catch fire when thrown on the bodies. On the ! ground floor of the hos pital, there is a mass of twisted iron beds -to be seen, but no trace of fire. It is supposed that an enormous puff of g& produced a great atmospheric pressure. The formation of sul "arat'ed hydrogen gas doubtless caused thousands to die of sheer suffocation before the fire itself reached them. This would explain the condition of the bodies which are covered by superficial swelling and superficial burns caused by the great cloud of fire which followed the first gust of gas from the volcano. After this there came a shower of stones, some as large as apples. ' Certain bodies have marks of the wounds- produced by this awful hail of rocks. All the dead are covered by a layer of ashes ranging In depth from a few inches to a foot or more. An Inhabitant of Morne House, a town of 600 inhabitants, seven kilo metres from Bt. Pierre, who was watch ing the volcano at the moment of the . catastrophe, says that here were seven, luminous points on the volcano's side just before it burst. He said that alt about him when", the explosion came there was a terrible suction of air, which) seemed to be dragging him irresistiblyi toward the mountain in spite of all his resistance. The volcano then emitted a sheet of flame, which swept down to ward St. Pierre. There was so sharp, distinct Toar of explosion, as when a great cannon is fired, but. only awful jarring rumblings. ISo one thinks that the entire outb:r t that did all the work of havoc last, more than thirty seconds. Then there was complete darkness for ten minutes caused by the dense volumes of smoke and clouds of dust and shattered rocks. The entire country all about St. Pierre was turned into a chaotic waste. All the trees are either torn up by the roots or snapped off and lie level with the ground. In the streets of St.. P'e-re heaps of edpper and silver have ben found. In the neighborhood of the tclraph office the instruments were found, 'but some of them had been hurled to a distance1 of fifty yards. The metal of the instru ments wa"s melted, but the Instruments themselves could be recognized. During the greater part of the nay of May 10 "Mount Pelee was for some time free from smoke. ,v Elect i on of Pa I ma Officially Declared President of the Cuban Sen ate Thanks General Wood for His Services to the People of the " New Republic Havana, May 15. The Senate and House of Representatives met in joint session today and examined the creden tials of the members of the presidential and senatorial colleges. The credentials were proclaimed correct and it was for mally announced that Senor Palma has been elected president and Senor Este vez rice president. Governor General Wood was formally notified to this ef fect and a committee was appointed to notify Senors Pal-ma and Estevez. Senor Palma says that he will appoint his secretaries tomorrow. There will be six ,of these, but it will rest with the congress to decide as to what their duties shall be. The congress will re main in session after May 20. the date of Senor Palma's inauguration, in order to enact the necessary: laws governing tho duties of the secretaries and also to arrange a treaty of relations with the United States and a commercial treat v. Among the other matters that will be 1 i dealt -with are the questions of sanita tion, the rural guard and the police. It is claimed that there is some dis satisfaction over some of the proposed appointmen'tsT'Of secretaries. An order has been' issued vesting the jurisdiction ? of the customs service in the secretary of finance after May 20, subject -to ' such modifications as may hereafter legally be' made. , It has also beerr ordered thatnpOn the termination of the present, military government tho distinctive gn4l. prescribed- for vessels in the coasting trade of Cuba shall be abolished and thereafter. Jill Cuban, ?S sels shall fly the flag. of 'the republic. A petition to General Wood has bo circulated among members of the Sn ate and House, asking him to commute the sentence of d-eath passed upon two men who are to be. garroted tomorrow. Clemency is asked for on the ground that' the men fought in the revolution and that the date of the execution is dose to the day set for the inauguration of the Cuban government. Geneno Wood commuted the sentence before the congressional petition was presented to him. The -Congress waited npon General Wood and informed him of the election of Senor Palma as president, and then Senor Capote, president of the Senate, thanked General Wood for his services to Cuba and expressed the gratitude of the Cuban people. The commission also visited Senor Pnlma and officially in formed him of his election. ALL NEWS TO MINISTER WU Washington, May 15. No information has been received at the Chinese lega tion in regard-to " the reported intene tion of the Chinese government to ce- call Minister Wu from (his post here and appoint him a member of a com mtosion to remodel the Chinese" laws of commerce as - strted in dispatches from Pekin this mornln;. If such is the Intention of the Pekin government Min ister Wu (has not been Informed of it. Rimiors of Mr. Wu's removal from tine post of Chinese minister to the United States have been circulated frequently during the past year, but they appear to have bten unfounded.
