FORCE IS NECESSARY.
Our Government Cannot Safely Aid
Cuba Otherwise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l1.-PreSi-
dent Thomas Estrada Palma, head
Of the Cuban revolutionary party,
will come to Washington within
the next few days. 1t is expected
his visit will result in a more de-
finite line of policy regarding
what the Cubans will suggest to
urge upon congress as the most de-
sirable course for the United States
to adopt. Mr.. Palma is not only
president of the American branch
of the Cuban organization, but he
has recently received his commits
sion from the insurgent govern
ment in Cuba constituting him
their official representative in the
United States. Under these cir
cumstances the government is
anxious to have Mr.. Palma re-
move his headquarters from New
York to Washington in order to be
near the seat of government while
the Cuban question is under consid-
GRAFTON. Thus far the policy of
the Cubans has been toward Sc
curing from the United States a
recognition of the belliegerent
rights of the insurgents. Now,
however, there is said to be an in.
fluential element against this
course. They say it would prove
disastrous to American shipping,
as it would permit Spain to seize
American merchant ships, suspect
ed Of carrying contraband goods,
on the high seas, whereas the sci.
cures cannot be made at present
outside the three-mile limit OF the
Cuban coast. Instead OF recogni-
ton to insurgents it is being urged
that the United States should
adopt steps TO put an end to the
struggle in Cuba by forcible inter
vention il necessary, as was pro-
posed by President Grant in 1873,
during the last Cuban uprising.

Russian Thistle Found East.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Rus
sian Thistle which first made it's
appearance in this country about
1873 in Bonhome county, South
Dakota, has at last found its way
east. Its presence was discovered
by William NJ. Vansicle, super
vising principal of the schools of
western New York, who has devot-
ed much of his time to the study
of botany. He first saw the weed
last August in the west shore rail-
way yards in Wequaken, where in
search for botanical specimens he
has discovered other weeds from
the same place. To convince Prof.
Dewey that he had made no mis-
take, Mr.. Vansicle forwarded a
specimen. Prof. Dewey then COM
municated with Prof. Kalstead, of
the New Jersey agricultural de-
partment at Trenton, and request
ed that he visit the place and con-
firm Mr.. Vansicle's statements.
Prof. Halstead visited the west
shore railroad yards and found the
school superintendent was not
mistaken. Between the tracks,
covering an area OF perhaps thirty
feet were at least $50 plants, each
about twelve inches in height. He
is Of the opinion that the seeds
have been carried east in cattle

an interview:
"The only states which made a

Cricket Prizes In Samoa.

Prizes of pigs and kegs of salt beef
are the objects for which the Samoans
play cricket. The game, which is en-
livened by the music of native band,
takes large number of players, some
times thirty or forty being entered on
a side. The Samoans have also taken
kindly to large boats built after Euro
pean models, and these have almost
entirely taken the place of the large
canoes in which they formally trav-
eled. Instead of working, the men
use large part of their time in trav-
cling in these boats from island to
island, talking politics. Some of the
boats require thirty or forty oars for
propulsion, and are between seventy
and eighty feet long, the latest addi-
ton to the fleet measuring one hun
