Thia opinion waa expressed; by the Under Secretary of State for the Foreign Office, Lord Cranbo.r., In whooe province aoch matters a the reported Congressional action properly belong. Ha produced from the file of the foreign office a copy jot the treaty, where It has reposod since the day when the Alabama matter stirred both countries, and pointed out that mules and horses had never yet been classified as contraband of war. So far as supplies go. the official maintained that Great Britain has net secured from the United States' anything- which com under the "head of military supplies." Which is th wording of article six in the treaty.

He added: "If tinned-beef and articles are i be supplies referred to, why, it is true enough. But tt would seem Impossible to stop tha trade of the two countries in thee commodities simply because we are at war with the F.oers. Even tf shipments from America to the Cape were Interdicted; the direct trade bet eea England and the United States would continue with exactly the same result so far as we are concerned, although probably with less profit to the American seller." Another, somewhat Interesting feature jointed out mas England's express refusal, noted in the treaty," to accept as a principle of international law the rules which article fix Imposes on neutral governments. Hal England bought arms In America it Is admitted that the matter would have a different aspect; but as the specific Instance mentioned in Washington deal only with what, during this campaign is generally recognized as non-contraband. It Is believed American action will be found to have been fully within the bounds of the.

treaty. "As matter of fact." said a foreign office official, "we have found, to cur cost, that contraband la what each nation chooses to mike It, all treaties to the contrary notwithstanding. Tha reported determination of the Amor lean House of Representatives raises a question which might possibly develop much needed united action. leafing tfce powers of the world to down up-to-date principles defining specifically what twentieth century neutrality means and entails."

The present ayuntamiento has been held up to the contempt of all classes. The Diarlo de la Marina says there is no ayuntamiento In Havana. Commercial and industrial Interests are being neglected, as are- also the Interests of the taxpayers. Disorder, Incompetence, and carelessness have reached an almost incredible pitch. The ayuntamiento baa become the refuge or politicians.

It adds that this is due to ignorance of their real nature, as these relations are not in any sense an imposition, but are for the Cuban people to accept freely. eBsides. these conditions are merely those desired by the government, whereas Congress might not accept them. When the convention receives them officially the delegates will study them calmly and will accept those that do not militate against the right of Cuba to be free and Independent and reject all that do not agree with the reunciatlon by the United States of wishing to exercise sovereignty in Cuba. The convention has not yet settled the question of the relations.

It Is said that the matter will be disposed of Saturday. The delegates want an official statement from General Wood as to the wishes of the American government. Oeneral Wood eays tbat if the convention asks him he will give his opinion as to wiat Is desired by the executive, but he Coes not know what Congress wishes In the matter.

20. There is more trouble tonight than ever over the Congressional apportionment. although last night It was supposed that everything had been satisfactorily arranged. Any five Republicans In the House can. by voting In the negative or by refusing tovot at all, prevent the passage of an apportionment bill.

Tonight double that numtter of Republican members have declared, with much vehemence, that they will not vote for the state Congressional diatricts as framed this afternoon by the Joint committee. Should these objectors stand by their convictions, as expressed tonight, the plsn of districts will be rearranged, or there will be no Congressional apportionment. It has been shouted for some time by some of the statesmen In the country that all the delay In apportionment would be caused by Cook county. A week ago it was predicted la The Inter Ocean that Cook county would be ready with Its plan of apportionment before the state leaders ceuld agree on districts for themselves. This prediction has come true.

The objections to the Congreisionsl district plan adopted by the Joint committee today come from several districts. The House Republicans who say tonight that they will not vote for the plan adopted today are George W. Johnson Mollne; C. A. Samuel-son.

Sherrard; S. J. Drew, Jollet; S. H. Jones, Sprfngfleld; J.

A. Wheeler. Auburn; W. Barnes. Lawrence ville; Robert C.

Brown, Sparta; S. B. Miller. Cairo: J. E.

N. Edwards, Anna; C. P. Skaggs, Harrisburg, and S. B.

Kerr, Trouble Over Mo a roe Coa'aty. The trouble started when the joint commit tee agreed to put Monroe county, with a heavy Democratic majority. Into congress man Smith's district, thus reducing his pos sible majority on. the vote of 1900 to about 1.000. Under the plan adopted yesterday Monroe was in the St.

Clair district, but Sen ator Brenholt objected so vigorously today that Monroe was switched Into the Smith dis trict. As soon as the decision of the committee was made known the Republican House members from the Smith district took up arms snd went on the war path against the bill. These are Edwards, Miller of Cairo, and Brown. They protested against throwing Monroe, with its- Democratic majority, on their district, and pledged one another nob to vote for the bill. Then Kerr and Skaggs Joined hem, because another change In the map was the placing of "Franklin county, also Democratic, in the other district In the southern part of the state.

Barnes of Lawrenceville came into the objectors csmp because his county of Lawrence waa placed In a strongly Democratic district when be wanted It pnt with, th Republican district Jnst south of it. Wheelerxand ones of Sangamon came next with, decided objection to having Sangamon county; placed "with Christian. Macoupin. Shelby and Montgomery; with nearly 3.000 Democratic majority. 1 Johnson of Molln joined the objectors, because Schuyler county la put Into Congressman Prince's district, which consists of Rock Island.

Henry. Knox, Fulton, and Schuyler. The addition of Schuyler means that the three latter counties would control tfce Republican conventions In the district, leaving' Henry and Rock Island out in the cold. Johnson wants Schuyler dropped and the district left composed of Rock Island, Henry. Knox; and Fulton.

Others Hare Objeetloas. Mr. Johnson said tonight be would not vote for the plan In Its present shape. His coi-letgue. Cole, of Henry county, la lighting the plan, but says be will not go to the extent of preventing apportionment on that account.

Samuelson of Mercer Is fighting the proposition to put Adams county into the new district laid out tor Congressman March, and declares he will not vote for- such a plan. Mr. Samuelson wants Knox and Adams taken from the districts In which the sew plan puts them. The proposed Marsh district is Mercer, Henderson. Warren.

McDonough. Hancock, and Adams counties. In convention the latter three counties would control, and Morcer and Henderson -would have to take what might be banded to them. Speaker Sherman and O. F.

Berry and their friends would control Adaraa, Hancock, and McDou-ough. and the leaders in the other counties do not like the prospect. Mr. Samuelson ssys tbat the question of control of the conventions hss nothing to do with his all he desires 1s that the Marsh district shall be made safely Republican. He says It- la unfair that the Prince dlatrict aball have more than 12,000 Republican majority, while the Marsh district, with a large variable vote.

Is left with only 2,000 nominal Republican On the other hand, O. F. Berry, who is one of the leaders in the proposed new district, says he is satisfied with the committee plan. When the Will county people heard of the revolt in other localities they also proposed to make trouble, and Representative Drew is quoted as saying that be will not vote for the bill. All this trouble has made It Impossible to report a Congressional apportionment this week.

Tonight a dozen of the House and Senate leaders are working with th discontented ones, trying to patch up a truce of some kind. But the prospects for an amicable adjustment of the many difficulties are not encouraging. Every effort Is being made to placate the dissatisfied members, and the hope of leaders Is that the tangle may be straightened out. Differ aa Seaaterlal Plaa. The House and the Senate have parted company on the Senatorial apportionment proposition.

For weeks the joint subcommittee haa been trying vainly to come to an agreement on a Senatorial apportionment Tonight the House members decided to frame a bill, without reference to the Senate. This course waa indicated in The Inter Ocean a few days ago. The members of the House subcommittee met tonight and agreed on a plan of districts for tha state. A number of the Cook county members met during the afternoon and formulated a tentative plan for Cook county. This plan will have to be changed.

It is admitted, and the work of perfecting will be continued in Chicago on Friday and Saturday and Monday. The plan for Cook county made here Is without reference to the plan which may be made by the Republican central committee. But In order to get a bill started. Chairman Bundy of the House subcommittee took this acknowledged Incomplete plan for Cook county and. Incorporating It with the state plan, formulated a Senatorial apportionment bill.

This Is a House measure strictly. What will be done with this bill will be decided by the House Republican steering committee tomorrow. It msy be thst ths subcommittee will be directed to report the bill to ths general House committee on Senatorial apportionment, or It may direct that the bill be kept to await the action of a House Republicsn caucus. Object la View. The object of the preparation of this bill la to place ths responsibility for further delay somewhere.

Senator Albertsen Is stranded by the Houae plan. In a Democrat district composed of Tazewell. Maaon. Menard, Cass, SchuyWr. aid Brown.

The Senate will never agree to tils, because the saving of Albert-sen was th chief point of contention between the House and Benate'membefs'oT fh Joint committee. 'Nothing will be done with the Congressional apportionment for the present, unless It be to change tha districts to plscate the objectors. The purpose is to hold the Congressional until the Senatorial apportionment Is ready for submission to the caucus with consequent legislative processes. It hss betn practically agreed that a Hons Republicsn caucus will be held next Tuesday evening to consider the apportionment bills, both of which. It Is hoped, will be ready by Monday.

The question of holding a caucus was In the House Republicsn steering committee today. Some favored a caucus tomorrow, but It was finally agreed to have the caucus next Tuesday. TO AMEND CONSTITUTION. Reaolatlea Adopted la Iloase far Pap-alar Eleetloa of Seaatars. SPRINGFIELD, Feb.
