It was slated that autonomy was being Inaugurated and 11 wat tho purposo of tho

Istrntlon Is said to onlortnln tho samo sentiment todiy Tho autonomous plan
was Inaugurated only thrco weeks ago namely on Jiinuaiy 1 when tho autono-
mist took office so that It Is felt there has not been adequate tlmo up to tho pres-
ent moment to form any fair Judgment ao to tho merits ot tho plan as a means ot
ameliorating conditions on tlio Island
Thn recent occurrences at Havana nro looked upon ns affording evidence ot
discontent with tho plan hilt whether this will bo sufficient to overcome tho

It will bo rcdtllcd wid Mr Vest
that tho present president of the UlilteJ

Mr Vest held that the tlmo had now ar-
rived when tho country must olthor go to a

Ho aaM ho had no desire now to niter

other aide of tho chamber desired to speak

There was no response to this invitation
to tho republican side anil Mr Vest was
prosccding with Ills remarks when Mr

Intention to trcss the resolution and to c

That Is Interjected Mr Aldrlch is
It tho pUTOc of lIl ° senator to oildonvor

whenever under tho rules ot tho HDnnto
a final Voto can be reached
The Mlnouil senator wo proceeding
