r i ISO CHANCE FOR CUBA. The Cameron Resolution Will Be Defeated. BOTH HALE AND THURSTON SAY SO. The Maine Man a Strong Enemy, but tlie Nebraska Stuator Greatly wore It The Latter Say the Obstacles Cannot lie Overcome. Washington. Dec. 2:$. The oppo nents of the Cuban resolutions assort that Senator Vest's failure to talk on the question in the senate as exjeeted is due to the fact that he has been in duced to look into" authorities which do not snstain his view of the question and that he has concluded to investi gate further before speaking. The question is one requiring close atten tion to precedents and to constitutional points and all recognize that it is nec essary to proceed with care. Senators apreed generally that if Vt and Hill did not speak the entire Cu ban question should go'over until after the holidays. "We've pot them beat," said Senator Hale sententiously. He spoke for the anti-Cubanites. "On a vote?" was asked. The reply was in the affirmative. Clevelasd. Dec. 523. Speaking of Cuban affairs. Senator Thurston, win In in this city, said : "There is litt le doubt but that the Cameron resolution is strongly favored by a good majority in both houses. I believe, however, that the opposition will throw so many obstacles in the way of the passage .( the resolution that it will ln found im possible to get it through. I feel, how ever, that eventually a compromise will le reached, in which the insurgents will be accorded the right of Itjlhger ency. "Personally. I favor radical measures. The United States has vast interests at stake. The island is being rapidly tie populated, and the people who remain are in many cases actually suffering foi the necessities of life. There are many excellent reasons why the United States should iutervene without delay." CONGRESS TAKES A REST. An Adjournment I'nttl Alter ih Holi tay Hoifwi and natu S.uiii. Washisoton. Deo. 23.

The foreign delegation also was well represented Soon after the session 0ened Mr. Pet tigrew of South Dakota called up his resolution relative to the trust, notes of the Pacific railroad. The senator made a savage onslanght on the Pacific railroad system in gen eral, charging that a. combination of private interests was seeking to absorb the roads and close out the government. This opened the entire question and Mr. Morgan (Ala.) followed with a bit ter arraignment of the Pacific roads, charging them with fraud and crime on a gigantic scale. The speech lasted until the morning hour had nearly expired, thus sending over the Cuban question until after the holidays. Mr. Call seenred the adop tion of a resolution asking the secre tary of state for information relative to the killing of Charles Gavin, an American citizen, by the Spanish forces in Cnba Further than this, the session was nneventfnl and the senate ad journed for the holidays, lasting until Jan. 3. STEEL POOL STILL BROKEN. Effort to Patch It Cp Failed I a Mew York. New York, Dec 23. The steel and iron men have adjourned, and it is of ficially announced that no agreement had been reached.
