Mr. Dunne, with his usual carefulness, remained In hts storm cellar during the McCnrren-McLaugh-lin trouble and therefore can say that he never took aides. The Democrats are watching with a good deal of Interest whether Dunne will win or lose.

The politicians were gossiping to-day about ex-Bherlff Walton for Commissioner of Public Works, a 96.000 Job, which is held by William C. Itedfleld. The name of John Shea has been most prominently mentioned heretofore, an dlt has beene supposed that he had the best chance The suggestion of Mr. Walton for the position does pot mean that Shea Is no longer under consideration.

1'nder Sheriff James Dunne was the roost prominent and about the only visitor this morning at the auction rooms. He was there for nearly one-half an hour, and during that time was engaged In un earnest talk with James Shevlln In the outer room. The reason that they conversed In what Is the most public portion of headquarters was that Hugh McLaughlin was In the Inner room. Tlie Old Man and Dunne are not friendly, and therefore Shevlln and the Under 8herlfT exchanged views In another pait of the place The two dlsucssed politics The few persons who happened to drop In while they were together could occasionally hear MrCarren name mentioned, then Littleton's, something about conventions and other matters relating to recent political events. Mr.

Shevlln did most of the talking. He was very emphatic in expressing himself. It Is so seldom that the I'nder Sheriff goas to the auction rooms for political purposes that his presence there to-day created somewhat of a stir The politicians who heard of the isit guessed at once that It had something to do with the position which Mr Dunne bolds The Inder Shsriff. of-course, wants to retain his place and It Is thought he went to consult with Mr Shevlln about the best course to pursue In order to accomplish his object The odds seem he against Dunne holding on, but he is a mightly skillful politician, and In the past has done things which surprised even his friends He has won where some of the shrewdest men in the game would have lost and it would not be any great wonder If he retained his job. Against his holding on there Is this James Kane, the leader of the Third district, in which Dunne lives, has no use for him, second, Dunne is a close personal and political friend of Shevlln; third.

There waa an absence of flowers, and but a sprinkling of spectators in the galleries, though the representatives of members on the floor were heavy. The Rev. Lawrence Hunt, of the Washington Heights Presbyterian Church, Invoked divine blessing. Mr. Hoar and Mr.

Gorman, selected at yesterday session to wait upon the President and Inform him that Congress was in session, reported that the President would communicate later In writing. At that moment Mr. Barnes, the President's messenger, sntered the chamber and delivered the message advocating reciprocity with Cuba. It was Immediately read by Mr. Bennett, secretary of the Senate, and was given close attention.

Each Senator was provided with a printed copy. The President also transmitted a copy I of the reciprocity treaty, which, upon mo-1 tlon of Mr. Cullom, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relatione. Then at o'clock the Senate ad-Journed. IN THE HOUSE.

amendment was required from Cuba, by the action of the Congress of the United States, this Government thereby definitely committed Itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that, when the Island became free and Independent, It should stand In such close relations with us as. In certain respects, to come within our system of International policy; and It necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba Is, It would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the Island by any foreign military power. It le for this reason that certain limitations have been conceded by her to the United States.

The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the evfe of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any Idea that there the Intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise, than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of foreign foes, and for the better safeguarding of American Interests in the waters south of ua These Interests have been largely Increased by the consequences of the Spain, and will be still further Increased by the building of the Isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to Is of the utmost Importance from a mllitar standpoint, and Is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established.

She has ad vanced steadily In every way. She al ready stands high among her sister re publics of the new world. She Is loyally observing her obligations to us. And she Is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States eco nomlc advantages as great as those given to Cuba.

Not an American Interest Is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market Is secured to our producers. It is a market which lies at our doors, which Is already large, which Is capable of great expansion. aad Which 1 expwrtatiy tm Mitwuaivi wii wuiw wpw im WASHINGTON. Nov.

10 Senators Hanna and Aldrich were admitted to the Cabinet room at the time of the regular semi-weekly meeting of the President's official family. All of the members of th Cabinet were present. In view of Senator Hannas prospective election, ns chairman of the Committee on Inter-Oceanic Canals, and Mr Aldrich's position as chairman of the Finance Committee, and his general leadership In the Senate. It is supposed that their presence was for the purpose of discussing the Panama situation. This is the first time since President Roosevelt became President that any outsiders hae been admitted at a session of Cabinet.

On leaving the Cabinet meeting 'Senator Hanna admitted that the subject under discussion was the Panama revolution and the prospects of constructing the canal. He said that there seemed to be no longer any serious questton as to the choice of routes. The people were In favor of Panama, and that was the route that would be followed. He supposed that, under the new condition of affairs, a treaty with Panama would first have to be negotiated, but there would be no difficulty about that, as Panama was anxious for the canal and would grant any reasonable terms demanded by the United States Senator Aldrich, who left a few minutes later, declined to talk for publication. Senator Hanna was accompanied the White House by W.

It Is determined on considerations of broad national policy as welt as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no Industry.

It will benefit many industries. It is In the interest of our people as a whole, both because of Its Importance from the broad standpoint of International policy, and because, economically, It Intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, It Is desirabl as a guaranty of the good fatlh of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and Integrity of our administrators who served her in peace, and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government.

We must help her onward and upward, and In helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and Its ratification by the Senate. They now with equal force support the legislation by Congress which, by the terms of the treaty, is necessary to render It operative. A failure to enact such legists tlon would com perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation.

In Manhattan and the Bronx about 400 housesmlths are said to have obeyed orders and stopped work. One of the big contracting firms which the strike order was intended to affect Is the Hecla Iron Works. A force of about thirty-five of the firms original hands quit work on the St. Regia Hotel. Fifty-fifth street and Fifth avenue, Manhattan.

They were doing structural bronze and stair work. About a dozen mechanics, all the company required, were quickly got to fill thetr places. Threats were made by some of the strikers to force the men to quit who took their places. Manager Francis D. Jackson of the Hecla Iron Works, Greenpolnt, said the strike was a fizzle.

Within a week of his appointment as the first Minister from the new Republic of Panama, Phlllippe Bunau-Varllla hfes got into serious trouble with a Senator of the United States. From a lack of diplomatic experience, and in hto ardent desire to make the choice of thet Panama Canal unanimous, Mr. Bunau-Varilla yesterday sent an earnest letter to Senator Morgan pleading with him to cease his opposition and to support the Panama route. That letter has acted like a red rag to a bull Senator Morgan Is furious. He denounces the letter as an attempted interference by a foreign Minister with a United States official in the discharge of his duty.

He proposes to bring the matter up on the floor of the Senate and demand Bunau-Varlilas recall. When I take advice, remarked Mr. Morgan, It will come from American citizens and not from a Frenchman who la interested In the Panama canal. There is no doubt that the sending of the letter was a serious breach of diplomatic usage. Other Ministers have been recalled for smaller things.

Lord Sack-vllle-West, the British Minister, was sent home in disgrace in 1668, for writing a letter to a fictitious person, advising him to vote the Iemocratic ticket. More re-ently. Minister Wu, the popular Chinese representative, was compelled to apologize for having merely interviewed certain members of the House and Senate on the question of Chinese exclusion. Whether anything will be done In the rase of Bunau-Varllla, beyond calling attention to his error, and Mr. Morgan's denunciation of him, is not yet known.

He served In each position with such faithfulness and success as to confer honor upon himself and dignity and distinction upon hifi profession. Concerning the fight on his eye-bar cable plan Mr.

Lindenthal says: For lack of funds the contracts for tho anchoragea and steel superstructure have been delayed, but the plans and specifications are In such shape that but little time will be required when the money becomes available before inviting bids on those portions of the work The Commissioner details the work that was done on the Williamsburg Bridge, and announces that on the Blackwell Island Bridge Messrs.

When they finished work on Saturday at midday they said that they would not return. During the course of yesterday thirty-five of them appeared at the building and reported back for work and, being good Hands, were reemployed. The Strike Committee of the Union reports that twenty more buildings in Manhattan would be tied up to-day.

The caucus of the Republican Senators, which Is to meet this afternoon, will depose Senator Morgan from the chairmanship of the Inter-Oceanic Canal Committee. The Republicans have determined that this ct mmlttee has now become much too important to be left In ths control of the minority.

Heretofore It has been classed, like that on woman suffrage, as so unimportant that It made little difference whether It held meetings or not, snd was given to the Democrats In order to provide a chairmanship for the Senator from Alabama. Now that the dream of an lnter-oceanlc canal Is about to be realised, tbs committee becomes of first rank. It will nave In charge ail legislation relating to the construction of ths canal and supervision of ths expenditure I the millions ft will oost. The Republicans were much embarrassed laet session by the fact that Mr. Morgan was the chairman of this committee and at the same time an ardent opponent of the Republican plan of building the Panama Canal instead of that in Nicaragua.

Mr. Morgan still opposes Panama. But It is not for this personal reaaoa that It has been decided to depose him, so. much as the growth le the Importance of the committee. It Is understood that Mr.

Manna will besoms the new chairman. Senator Morgan to making a strenuous effort to Une up the Democratic party In the Senate against the recognition the RepuMie of Panama.
