opportunity to prove to them that if but
half the fraud which had come to his
knowledge had been committed, q re-
count, in justice to himself and all

WASHINGTON, July 30.-In response
| to resolution adopted Oh the Esd inst,
the president transmitted to the senate
to-day the correspondence concerning
the alleged arrest and imprisonment OF
A. ]. Diaz by Cuban authorities, to-
gether with an account of the action Of
the state department in the matter. The
first information that the department
had of the arrest of Mr.. Diaz was con-
veyed in telegram received from At
lanta, Ca, saying that a missionary
named Rev. A. j. Diaz had been ar
rested in Havana, and was detained con-
trary to law. Mr.. DiaZ was the mission
arv in charge of missions for the home
missionary board of the Southern Bap-
tist convention. Representative Stew

telegraphed the department June n call

the secretary of State cabled the consul
general of the United States at Havana

of June the secretary received an an
swer to his telegram from Consul Gen
eral Williams, saying that the three
Baptist missionaries detained by the
police for noncompliance with the law
governing public meetings had been re-
leased. The same day Mr. Williams
wrote to the department a letter when
was received July 8, detailing the arrest
and release, and saying that he had
called on the authorities for an eXplana-
ton. On the day following, July l., MI.

notified that he was under arrest In the
name of the mayor. The mayor claimed
that the meeting was in violation of the

Kansas City Times.
An English tourist was stopping at
one of the city hotels last week, and in
chance conversation with a Times re-
porter spoke of the seeming inherent
politeness of the American gentlemen.
AS class, he said, they were the most
polite men he met with in any quarter
of the globe. Wherever his travels
took him he could always tell an Ameri-
can by his affable manner. 1t seemed,
he said, as though every one was born
c0urtler, and nowhere was it more
noticeable than in the cities of the old
world. In London the Americans
could be selected in any public hall or
gallery, for they always took their hats
off, no matter what room they entered,
or If it was too uncomfortable to remove
headgear, it needed but the presence Of
a lady to cause the hats to Immediately
be lifted. 1t was quite the contrary
with the Britishers; they never uncov-
cred their heads except under very eX-
traordinary circumstances.
II was going down the street in this
city but the other day." continued the
stranger, ''when [ saw lady drop her
purse. 1t had hardly reached the side
walk before little street arab grabbed
it, touched the losers arm, and, with
hat in hand, said: Lady, here's your
pocketbook.' 1t is not only to the op-
posite sex that this politeness extends,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 30.-In the

of New York, offered. for reference to
the ways and means committee, the
following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, The secretary of state has ex.
pressed the opinion that the remission OF
duties on sugar and molasses ought to be ac-
companied by reciprocal arrangements be-
tween the United States and Spain and the
republics of South and Central America
whereby these sugar-producing countries can
be induced to remit, or SO to reduce their
import duties upon products of American
industry, and especially upon the products
of American agriculture, as to secure to the
people of the United States import trade re-
ciprocal relationships. Therefore,
Resolved, That it is the sense of the con-
gress of the United States that legislation
touching the subject of the duties upon
sugar and molasses should be postponed
until the next session of congress.
Resolved, That.the president be requts ed
to cause negotiations to be entered into
with the government of Spain, and of the
republics of South and Central America
in regard to the consum nation OF the re-
ciprocaI arrangements of trade herein before
mentioned, and to institute such other in
vestigatiJns as to him may appear to be
proper in order that he may be pre- pared to
furnish to congress at its next session such
information and conclusions is will enable

'Just little too warm, but good

though it was little too warm
for absolute comfort, the trains
from both cities brought good-sized
loads. and the crowd in the stand had
assumed about its usual dimensions by
the time the first race was called. About
9 O'Clock James Murphy, of Chicago,
the same Jim Murphy who used to be
with Riley'S pool room, was seized with
sunStrOke, and felfsenselesS outside the
ring. A rumor went flying over the
grounds that he was dead, but he
wasn't, by long shot. A hack bore
him to the city, and he now lies at the
Merchants hotel, pretty badly under
the weather, but worth several hundred
dead men yet. Several others were af-
fected by the heat, bat not so seriously,
and no other cases of sunstroke are re-
ported.

all the way from dollars to fves. Sew
eral of the books lost heavily on this
particular race; one man walking off
with $4,000, and another s2,7OO as a re-
suit of Rainier's win. Taking it all
round, though, and averaging up the
day, the books did not get much the
worst of it. The racing was as good as
it has been on any day since the open
ing. To find better would be difficult
indeed, and the programmes for the
next three days promise as good racing
as that of the past seven.

Gen. Kantz that if he desired it he will
have the approval of two months
leave of absence. The leave was
preferred by Gen. Kansz, who
will be absent on important
business of his own for some
weeks. This will. no doubt, prolong
the investigation of the case between
the above named officers, and which
was inaugurated by Gen. Brooke. The
delay will probably have the effect of
less hasty conclusions and possible cor
rection of the matter in way that will
put the responsibility where it right
fully belongs. The ulterior purpose
underlying the issue is apt to be laid
bare and the officer of forty years SER
vice, with an honorable record through

UNDER A STRONG GLASS
Deceased Millionaire Davis Will
Examined by an Expert.

Examined by an Expert.
Special to the Globe. ~
BUTTE, Mont, July 3O.-The ancient
will which leaves the late A. j. Davis
great fortune to his brother, John A.
Davis, and which bears date of 1866. was
carefully examined to-day by Henry A.
Root, prominent New York attorney,
in the interests of the Eastern heirs.
The will is kept safely locked in the
vault of local bank, and Mr.. Root ex-
amined it in company with the clerk of
the court, 1t is said that the expecta-
tion was to find some evidence OF the
paper on which the will is written to be
of later date. Mr.. Root refuses at
present to say anything about that, or
on what grounds the attempt to break
the will is to be made. John A. Davis,
to whom the will leaves fortune eSti-
mated at $4,000, 900, said to-day that he
had no knowledge whatever of such a
will having been made by his brother.
He says he discovered it himself in a
town in Van Buren, county. Iowa. but
declines to say just where it was found.
Two of the three witnesses to the will
are dead and Mr.. Davis declines to say
where the living witness can be found.
He is confident that there is no possible
way of breaking the will except by pro-
ducing one Of later date, and this he
considers very improbable.
