LAST 0F PLATTS CLASS
N o More Sunday School at Fifth
' Avenue Hotel. j_
001. Roosevelt Does Not Approve
Part-y Plans Should be Laid in Albany lie
Says, E" the Old Corner \Vill be Descr—
ted. The Governor Elect Seems to be
Showing His Han] and There is “Hur-
morry."
New York, Dec. 19.—There was no
Platt Sunday school yesterday. And
there will be no more sessions this win—
her, if Theodore Roosevelt, governor'-
elect, can have his way.
The story goes among politicians
that Colonel j.oosevelt took occasion
to say recently, in the presence of sev—
eral of the Plan leaders, that he did
not believe the Republican party
this state countenanced the recognlm
tion of machine dictation indicated by
G ii
the weekly rush of politicians to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel on Sunday.
.He declared plainly his preference
for having politics discussed on week
days, and that, after January 1 next,
'the idea should be inculcated that Al-
bany, and not room 280, Fifth Avenue
H01te1,was the place w here legislators
should discuss questions of party pol-
iby.
Cl .irman O’Dell’ of the state corn-
mlttee and even Senator Platt himself,
it is said, acquiesced in this plan. They
have made up their minds evidently
that they will have to acquiesce in
whatever Roosevelt decides is right.
So Chairman Odell was home in New—
burg yesterday; Senator Platt return-
ed to Washington in the morning—a
most unusual thing for him to do on
Sunday——and Colonel Roosevelt, after
an early Sunday morning breakfast
at his sister’s house, No. 689 Madison
avenue, returned to Oyster Bay.

Tho President’s Sunday.
Savannah, Dec. 19.——Notwithstand~
lng Sunday w as supposed to be a day
of rest “1th the presidential party it
wag, as a matter of fact, filled with;
interest and activity.
President McKinley attended sen-
vdces at the Wesley Monumental Meth-
odist church. Mrs. McKinley did not
accompany him. She is suffering from
a slight cold and remained at the ho-
tel. Her indisposit'ion, however, does
not amount to real illness, and yester—
day afternoon she was able to take a
carriage ride about the city.
A'fter lunch, the president visited the
State Agricultural andl Mechanical Col—
lege for colored youths, where he de-
livered an address.
The route to the college took the
president through the camp of the
Seventh Army Corps, and, going and
coming he stopped for a. brief inspec—
tion and to speak words of apprecia—
tion and encouragement :to the men.
New Steamship Line to Cuba.
New Orleans, Dec. 19,—General Man-
ager H-arahan of the Illinois Central
Railroad has arrived here 'to make ar-
rangements for running a steamsh p
line to Havana in connection with tho
ailrpad.
rThe Southern Pacific will run a
weekly line to Havana as soon as Am»-
er‘ican occupation is complete. The
Illinois Central is not satisfied with
this, believing that there is'a large
amount of business in’ Chicago and St
Louis awaiting the opening of the new
line. It intends to establish :3. tri-wek-
1y line from New Orleans if the South--
er-jn Pacific will not increase its sail-
lugs to three a week Armour & (30..
will establish a packing house and re
frigeraiting plant here for Cuban busi—
ness.
Increase of the Navy.
lVashington, D. 0., Dec. 19.-—The
House committee on naval affaérs has
decided to favorably report a bill pro-
viding for the increase of the enlisted
men of the navy to twenty thousand,
men and 2,500 boys and apprentices.
The navy department reports that
it is impossible with the present force
of eleven thousand men to properly
man the regular ships now in corn-
mission, not 1to say anything about the
auxiliary vessels.
When Ithe five new battleships and
other vessels new building are placed
in commission the force will be. utterly
inadequate.
The department is very anxious to
have the increase granted without dc-
lay.

Indian Apbruprintion.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. ISL—Satur-
day the House went into committee
of the whole to consider the bill mak-
ing appropriations for the Indian sci"
vice for the year ending June 30.
1900.
Mr. Sherman, Republican of Nov.
York, chairman of the committee llk'
porting the bill, gave some invters‘e ting:
statistics regarding the growth of III—
dlan education in the country.
In 1877, he said; the government 21p—
propriated but 'twenty thousand dollars
for this purpose, and the enrollment
of Indian children in the schools was.
less than four thousand. Now the an"
nual appropriations exceed two mil‘
lion dollars. the enrollment of pupils
is more than twenty-five thousand and
the average daily attendance twenty
thousand.
There are. now two hundred and
ninety—five schools under the control of
the Indian bureau. The‘bill made no
appropriation for contract schools save
that at Hampton, Va.
Mr. Sherman said that, in his opiu-
'ion, the Indian educated at Carlislr.
1321., was the best educated Indian in
the country, and the cost per capita
less than at any other institution.
It is the intention to incrc use the
attendance at Carlisle from eight hun-
dred to one thousand, and the .-Ip;..~' ,_.
priation for the maintenance of the
school is $150 000.
lVithout substantial change the bill
“as reported to the House and pas-
sed, and the House adjourned until to-
day.

Efforts to Secure the Release of Those
Confined for Political Reasons.
XVashington, D. 0., Dec. lit-Mem-
bers of the Cuban commission, accom—
panied by Gonzales Quesada, charge
.i’afl‘aires of ’the Cuban legat'ion, called
on Secretary of State Hay- Saturdas
and requested the aid of 'the American
government inprocurlng the'liberation
of a. large number of Cuban prisoners
who are confined for political reasons
in prisons in Havana and .Soarn
In the party wzl’s‘ General Ruis Riv-
9.1.». , u ho has suffered imprisonment for
lighting for Cuba. and who is anxious
that all of his compatriots should be.
released.
Through the. di latOIy action of the
Spanish government a, large number
of political prisoners are still retained
in custody, and the efforts of the Cu-
bans to secure their release have thus
far brought no results. '
General Rivera. is using his utmost
efforts to have the, state department
secure the release of these prisoners.
and is especially anxious to secure the.
liberation of Colonel Bacalao, who was
arrested in Plnar del Rio at the same
time as General Rivera and is now
held a prisoner in Havana.
Colonel Carlos Garcia, son of the late
Cuban general, is expected to-day from
Santiago. He will arrange for the re-
moval of the remains of his father.
now in the receiving vault at the-Ar—
lington National Cemetery.
It is probable that the body of the
dead general will be transported on
the Dolphin, which has been tendered
by the president for that purpose.
The members of the commission cal-
led on Chairman Dingiey of the ways
and means committee Saturday re-
garding the Cuban tariff promulgated.
They expressed their satisfaction with
the results of the efforts of the fram—
ers of the tariff, although \there were
some provisions which they thought
might be altered.
The commission desired a reduction
of the United States 'tariff on Cuban
sugar and hoped to secure the admis-
sion of Cuban sugar into the United
States free of duty, and failing that,
to secure some modification of the tar-
iff which would allow Cuba some ad-
vantage over her competitors in the
production of sugar.
They do not believe, however, that
they will be successful in either pro—
ject, as Mr. Dingley took an adverse
View.
