They Schley Case the Subject of an Important Conference. The President Does Not Favor Congresstonal Action-The Tariff Iteduction BIll Also -Freely DiscussedEarly Passage Urged. Washington. A very important conterence was held in the cabinet room of the Wuite House, Saturday. At the president's request, he was joined there shortly after 10 o'clock by Senacors Allison, Aldrich and Spooner; Speaker Henderson and Representatives Cannon and Grosvenor, and the conference lasted until a few minutes aft noon.

It is something of a coincidence that those at the conference were, with the exception of the president himself and Senator Spooner, the same men who took part in the famous conference a week prior to the Spanish-American war which resulted in the definite conclusion that congress should appropriate $50,000,000 to be placel at the disposal of the president to prepare for war. Not since that momentous occasion until Saturday have the same men been formally summoned for a conference at the White House. Previous to the conference the 1 president breakfasted at the White House with Attorney General Knox, Postmaster General Payne and Senator Hanna. When the conference broke up those who participated in it were extremely and unusually reticent. The fact that the senators are members of the steering committee of the senate and Speaker Henderson and his two lieutenants who were present Saturday practically control legislation in the house, gave rise to be belief that the consultation referred to the legislative programme in congress and might have a bearing upon the shaping of Cuban, and war revenue repeal legislation.

There also was an intimation -that the president talked with his party leaders in congress about the Schiey case, and color was given to this surmise by a remark dropped by one of the senators. But nothing definite as to the purpose or result of the consultation could be obtained. The Post, Sunday, said that the chief topic was the ways and means committee's bill for the reduction of war revenue taxes. The Post said that Speaker Henderson and Representative Grosvenor explained the reason for pushing that measure through the house without permitting amendment, the reason being that they feared the reopening of the whole tariff quescion should any other course be adopted. The Post further said: "The conf ence, it is understood, resulted in th president consenting to the plans of the house leaders, and informing them that he desired to have the war revenue reduction bill digposed of as quickly as possible.

lie shared the belief of the speaker and Mr. Grosvenor, that delay was menacIng to the chance of the bill passing. "It was decided that a conference of the Republican members of the committee on ways and means should be held immediately after the war revenue bill passes the house, for the purpuse of ascertaining how the members stand on the president's proposition for a reduction in the tariff on Cuban sugar, The Post also said: "The Schley case was also under discussion at the conference, the president boing anxious that his disposition of the case should not be followed by action in congress. Speaker Henderson was able to assure the president legislation could be blocked in the house, but it was pointed out to him by the senators that the situation in the senate was different, the more liberal rules of that body allowing any resolution to be considered if it commanded a majority vote. "The president's views regarding the Schley case became generally known Saturday night as the result of the conference.

It is said he will not undertake to discuss, in his review, any of the events which occurred prior to the battle of Santiago, on the ground that, if Schley's conduct was reprehensible, it was condoned by the navy department and by President McKinley when Schley's promotion was recommended. As for the battle of Santiago, the president is inclined to the opinion. according to his visitors, that the victory was won by all the captains, and that credit can not, therefore, be given exclusively to Schley, although the latter acted courageously and, with the Oregon, succeeded in preventing the escape of the Colon."

LAke That Fort Riley is to be one of une permanent concentration camps, and that the number of troops stationed there is likely to be increased to twelve companies of cavalry and five batteries of artillery, was welcome news for Junction City. It means much to Junction City in a business way.

The increase in the garrison will make necessary the erection of more quarters and barracks. It is the opinion of officers that the selection of Fort Riley as a camp for the maneuvers of regular troops and the militia makes It the most important cavalry post in the United States, being centrally located and the other three camps being in the extreme western and eastern parts of the country. Bids for two barracks will be let soon, but these will not be sufficient for the number of troops to be quartered there regularly.
