TINGED "WITH SCORN.
London, April II. A despatch to the

evident from the porte's language to

wavering policy of Europe In dealing
With Greece.

Timer says that one of the least fnvor
nbli consequences of the cour.se of ac

but there are unmistakable signs that
It has diminished the prestige of Euro
pean concert.

gan's Cuban Resolution Goes Over.
Washington, April 14. The commit
tee appointed by tho Republican cau
cus ot tho senate to arraimo with the

of the senate committees today decided
to re'Ject the pioposlllon made yester
day by the committee representing tho
alliance ot the Democrats, Populists and
silver Republicans and to rusk for an
other conference with a view of reach
ing a more satisfactory understanding.
The committee went over the ground
thoroughly today and reached the ton
elusion that for the Republicans to nt
tempt to organize on the basis suggest
ed was untenable and would amount to
placing them In a position ef apparent
rc3i.inslblllty, whereas In reality they
would nut be in control. An analysia
ot the proposition showed that whereas
the Republicans under the proposition
would control about 40 chairmanships
to the opposition's 40, the opposition
would be In Hie majority of 38 commit
tees to tlie Republicans' 22. Many of
the committees are unimportant but
there are somr which the Republicans
feel that they must control If they are
to be placed In the position of respon
sibility. These Include rule?, appropri
ations, postofllces and post roads and
others.
If the Democrits decline to mako bet

the Republican committee will refer the
matter to the Republican caucus.

retary Gage and declared illegal his
recent order relative to goods Imported
after April 1, when, according to the
retroactive clauue of the pending Ding
ley bill, the new tariff rates are to ap
ply. Mr. Morrill's motion prevailed by
the close vote of 21 to 23. The affir
mative vote was given by Republicans,
Including one silver Republican, Mr.
Mantle, of Montana, The negative vote
was made up of Democrats, Populists
and two silver Republicans, Pettlgrew,

CHIEF ARTHUR'S OPINION.
Ilclicvcs Injunction in the Steel nnd

Cleveland, O., April 14.-Chlcf P. M.
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, gave his opinion today
on the Injunction granted by the feder
al court In the Consolidated Steel nnd
Wire strike. He said:
"It Is necessary for the men to obey
the court's Injunction. Tho Brother
hood of Engineers has been all through
the Injunction mill and has a case now
pending In the United States Supreme
court which will determine the validity
of that stylo ot government. In my
opinion tho Injunction has gone to
lengths whlcH are not permissible in a
court of equity. No tribunal can stop
men from holding conversation with
one another provided no Intimidation
Is used. Every court since this wns a
government has recognized the right
of any citizen to uso the power of
moral suasion. I am of the opinion
that tho Injunction will not stand."
