A MARKET FOR FRAGRANT HAvANAS
Cuban Tobacco Growers Think Of
Yankee Lovers of the Weed
And Urge the Spanish Government
To Treat With Uncle Sam.
Americans Are Good Customers
Whom TheV Want To Retain.

WASHINGTON, October 3O-The Depart
ment of State has received copy of petit
tion forwarded by the Tobacco Growers and
Cigar Manufacturers Union of Cuba to the
Spanish government, urging the negotiation
of reciprocity treaty between Cuba and
the United States. The petitioners sayi
"The provisions of the Mckinley bill, in
regard to tobacco, to be applied Immediately
are so radical that it is equivalent to closing
the United States market to us. We will
lose market that consumes 100000,000 to
100000 cigars annually. with value of
So, 600 900 to $5,250, 900, and over 1000 bales
with value of $5OoOOO. just exactly half
our commerce In this line. We will lose
great deal more, because If certain grades of
cigars, of special quality and color. particu-
larly adapted to that market, are not con-
sumed there, we will not be able to supply
Other consumers of ether markets with the
grades they require without immense loss.
The damage we shall suffer cannot be over
estimated. The cultivation of the rich leaf
will diminish one-half; the greater number
OF our factories will disappear: those that
remain will have greatly reduced operations; !;
thousands of souls dependent for liveli-
hood on the factories will be left in complete
want, and prosperous and flourishing indus
tries will come to ruin. 1t Is necessary to
ward off such calanities, and we find no
other way but a commercial treaty with the
United States, accepting the reciprocity our
neighbors proposesThere Is no time to lose in
making this treaty. The business crisis that
threatens us is imminent, and its conse-
quences embrace very serious dangers"
The cigar manufacturers conclude by en-
dorsing the action of the Havana Chamber
OF Commerce, heretofore published, asking
of the government the immediate abrogation
of the law of commercial relations of 1882,
and the imposition of precautionary duty
on Spanish products, which should be in re-
lation to the necessities of the treasury of
the island, so as not to render difficult the
negotiation of commercial treaties with
foreign country, and that negotiations be i'm
mediately opened with the United States for
a commercial treaty on the basis uf free su-
gar and reductions in the duties on tobacco
within The limits already prescribed. The
chambers of commerce ant important corpo-
rations on the island advise in their propos-
ed new tariff, the articles on which export
duties should be abolished, and that negotia-
tions be entered into with Other countries to
insure facilities for export for Cuban pro.

YORK GIVES THE STANDARD
On Which MaIne's Mortgage Indebt-
edness VIII Be Estimated.

BDDEFoRD. October 90.-The following
statistics and estimates on the recorded
mortgage Indebtedness in York county, are
part of the results obtained by Fred S.
Boothby, Esq, of Saco. under whose man
agement that branch Of the census work in
this county has been conducted.
The total number of recorded mortgages
on real estate. given from January 1, 1865 TO
January 1. 1889 inclusive, and undischarged
sf record January /, 1885, was $685.. OF this
number 1864 were given prior to 1870, and
from results obtained for subsequent years
the census office estimates not more than l
per cent of these unpaid January 1, 1890.
Owing to the extent of territory in Aroos-
took county, and the difficulty of communi-
cation by mail or otherwise with the parties,
the inquiry work there has been abandoned !;
so the result in York alone will be the stand
ard by which the recorded indebtedness of
the entire state is to be measured.

Little Arthur HuguIey to Undergo
Pasteur Treatment.

BOSTON, October 3O.-Pasteur's Hydro
phobia-Cure Institute in New York. has just
received the first patient for whom admis.
sion has been sought from Boston. The suf-
ferer is bright little 8-year-old Arthur Hugu-
ley, son of Col. Harrison w. Huguiey.
Symptoms Of the dread disease had not vet
developed before the little lad was urried
away to the Institute for preventive treat
ment. 1t was known that the boy had been
bitten few days ago by favorite pug dog,
which had shown signs of illness for some
time and which had been sent to the Har-
ward Veterinary Hospital at the South End,
where it died. as reported to Mrs. Huguley,
of rabies. The vital organs of the dog were
sent to Harvard Medical School professor,
who, having made an analysis, confirmed the
opinion which had been expressed by the
veterinary hospital authorities. This all
happened within the past 10 days. Upon un-
derstanding the nature of the peril in which
their son was placed, not moment was lost
before Mr.. and Mrs. Huguley hurried with
him to the New York institution. The
mother remains at the child's bedside. 1t is
confidently believed that there will not be
any lasting i'll effects from the bite.

ON HIS DEATH BED.
The Marriage of Houghwout Howe
to Mary Rutterworth.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-Houghwout
Howe, of the State Department, who was
married to Miss Mary Butterworth, daugh.
ter of Representative Butterworth, yester
day afternoon, while on a sick bed, died to-
day. As originally planned, Mr. Howe's
marriage was to have taken place today.
Last Friday Mr.. Howe was taken i'll at his
rooms at the Metropolitan Club chambers.
and grew rapidly worse. His mother and
stepiather, DR.. and Mrs. d. 3. ST. John Roo
sa of New York were sent for.
Mr.. Howe suffered from inflammatOry
rheumatism and pneumonia. His illness
was much aggravated by distress of mind
and disappointment at his inability to keep
his wedding engagement, and when Miss
Butterworth learned this fact she proposed
that all formalities be dispensed with and
the wedding ceremony take place at once in
Mr. Howe's sick room. The physicians in
attendance held consultation and came to
the unanimous decision that a wedding
would be the best possible remedy for their
patient The latter received the suggestion
with sigh Of relief.
Accordingly, at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon, an anxious party assembled in the
chamber of Mr.. Howe, and the marriage
ceremony was performed by the Rev. DR..
Bartlett, of the New York avenue Presbyte-
rian church. Those who witnessed the cere-
mony were Mr.. and Mrs. Butterworth, Dr.
and Mrs. ROosa, DIR. A. f. Magruder, of the
navy, w. E. Curtis, the three brothers of the
bride, Miss Ballard of Chicago. and the
daughter of Attorney General Miller.
Tne marriage of Mr. Howe to Miss Butter
worth, and its unusual surroundings, will
recall to the minds of many people Mr..
Howe's former marriage in New York, un-
der circumstances which made it one of the
most romantic in many years. In November
1881, Mr.. Howe, who was then private secre-
tary to Postmaster Pearson, married Miss
Marie Vandycke Charlier, the youngest
daughter of Professor Ellie Charlier. OF
Charlier's Institute. The wedding took
place in Trinity Chapel, the Rev. DR.. Nor
gan Dix officiating. Professor Charller Wig
orously and bitterly opposed the marriage of
his daughter to. Mr.. Howe. his opposition
being so strong that he drove his son Van
dyck and his daughter Jeannie from his
home because they took sides with their sis
| ter and supported her in her attachment to
| Mr.. Howe. So great was the interest in the
wedding the efforts of the policemen who
had been engaged to keep from the church
| all except those entitled to admission we're
unavailing, and the invited guests were conn.,
PEELED to stand in the aisles during the cere-
mony The wedding was unmarked by any
