TIL r RECO r d
BY COGER ct WILh ERSOA
The situation in Cuba

bCoOlllhS AlOl ! NSS vi dtC'
The insurgents have cap
tured Bayamo, an important
town in Santiago.
The Spanish soldiers are
becoming dissatisfied on ac-
count of the failure of the
government to pay them,
and openly defy the authori-
ty of the commanding Off
GERS.
It's said that Consul Gen
eral Lee has resigned on ac-
count of the government at
Washington refusing to send
warships to Havana to VIII
dictate him in his demand for
the release of American citi-
zens who are in Spanish
prisons.
The horrible treatment of
the prisoners by the Span
yards is enough to arouse the
indignation of the most bru-
tai savageS, and that limo
cent American citizens
should be subject to them is
revolving to every patriot in
the land, In 1907 President
Jefferson sent an American
fleet across the Atlantic into
the waters of the Meditera-
mean and compelled the Bash
aw of Tripoli, who had been
for years demanding tribute
from the European nations,
to release American citizens
but now, when we are strong
as a nation to imprlson, tor
ture and kill our citizens al
most in sight of our shores,
it seems that the real spirit
of our patriotic fathers no
longer fills the executive de-
partment of our nation, The
Post Dispatch of the % has
the following to say:
| It was reserved for a con-
sul-general to compel the
Cleveland Administration to
face its duty in the protec-
ton of the lives Of American
citizens in Cuba, Any hope
that it could be persuaded or
compelled to protect the
property of American citi-
zens IN that ravaged island
has long ago been aban-
doned.
There are some who still
find difficulty in comprehend
ing the reasons for the Ad-
ministration's fragrant neg
lect of duty in this all import
ant matter. This difficulty
however, argues strange OBJ
tuseness on the part OF those
whom it perplexes.
The reason for the Admin
istration in this, rs in most
other foreign and domestic
matters, is to be found in
Wall Street, Wall Street
does not want war or the
menace of war. st o Ct S
would be depressed by it,
temporarily at least. Broker
Benedict and other friends
of President Cleveland OF
like mind agree with DR..
Johnson in holding that PA
triotism is the last refuge OF
of a scoundrel, " And Broker
Benedict and his friends
would defiant a scoundrel
as a man who would be gull
ty Of doing something to de-
press Wall Street values, or
who would disturb the Trusts
in their work Of gobbling up
the industries of the country.
For a variation, they might
at times call him an Anarch-
list. But in their hearts they
believe such a man TO be the
worst kind of a scoundrel.

TALKED ON TARIFF.
Representative Powers Thinks
Amendments Possible.
Demand for High Lumber Duties Come
Chiefly from the East.

Morrisville, VT, March 25.--Hon. III III.
Powers representative in Congress from
the first district of Vermont, is here, he
having left Washington for few days on
a business trip. Judge Powers has been in
i'll health of late but is much improved
and will leave for Washington Friday or
Saturday. He was asked by a newspaper
man TO explain the lumber and wool
duties of the new tariff. After alluding To
the difficulties of framing tariff bill that
will please all interests rs well as the fact
that Mr.. Dingley could not tell in advance
what the Senate would do with his bill,
Judge Powers said that modification of
some of the schedules by the Senate might
be wise and that it was possible that Mr.
Dingley had Senate changes in view when
nc framed some of his schedules.
The pressure for high tariff on lumber
came very largely from the east, at least
from farmers and others owning timber
tracts, particularly spruce. But as there
is little pine left, it might be possible to
get the duty on pine down to one dollar
leaving the spruce at the higher rate The
same facts were true regarding wool The
farmers wish protection, And" said Judge
Powers, There is no class of our citizens
that need protection more than the far
mers. When the farmers prosper the
country prospers and they should be ac-
corded protection fully as much as any
other class of citizens" F"

That Between the Santa Fe and South

San Francisco, Cal, March % The
termination of the negotiations now pend
ing between the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific railroad is being anxiously awaited.
The negotiations for the transfer of the
lines between Moiaye and the Needles for
the piece of track between Benson and
the town of Gnaymas on the Gulf OF Cal
ifornia, have been in progress for some
time and IL Is stated on excellent author
ity that the big deal will be consummated
in the near future. According 10 Vice
President Crocker OF the Southern Pacific
Company, the two lines are being con-
sidered In the negotiations, just as they
stand. The proposition ms IL now stands
Is To exchange the Mojave line which is
owned by the Southern Pacific, but
operated by the Atlantic and Pacific
under "A lease and contract of purchase,
for the Sonora railway and that portion
OF the line in Arizona between Nogalcs
ami Benson, which is separately incorpo-
rated under the name of the New Mexican

WAS 1T SUICIDE?
Passenger Disappears From the
Steamer Pilgrim.
Registered ~ r. j. Harris-Money,
Watch and Clothes In State Room.

Fall River, March % ct j. Harris
Tuesday registered i'm New York as a
passenger on the Fall River line steamer
Pilgrim, and was assigned to stateroom
12 Upon the arrival of the Pilgrim at
this city yesterday Halman Myers dis
covered that the door of the stateroom
was locked, and that the key was on the
inside. The window of the stateroom was
open. Some personal effects and money
were found inside. IL Is believed that the
man jumped overheard.
No one on the Pilgrim remembers the
man. The purser recollects the call for
the stateroom key, but is unable to give
any description of Harris Captain Nick
erson last night said that he could tell
nothing more about the affair than what
he had learned from his subordinates and
that information is very meagre.
The colored man, Myers, made his usual
trip of the staterooms shortly after the
steamer arrived. Room IL is on the galley
deck, on the starboard side forward of the
paddle wheel The door and window open
on the outside deck. The door was locked
and the window open. Myers looked in
through the windowland saw no occupant
in the room, but noticed articles of
clothing scattered about
Myers effected an entrance to the room
and found that the bunk had not been
used. A full suit of clothes,a gold watch
and chain, S63 in cash and ticket for
Boston were found. These articles will be
turned over to General Manager Taylor
in New York tomorrow.
Recourse to the purser' Office developed
only the name IT. j. Harris, with no
place of residence given
Indications pointed strongly TO suicide
but all attempts To find out anything
about Harris were in vain No one saw
him enter or leave the stateroom; few
passengers were outside, as the night was
disagreeable. A plunge from the deck
could have been effected without the
knowledge of any one. From the condi-
tion of things, however it would appear
that Harris crawled through the window
after locking the door, rather peculiar
performance, AS such an act was more
likely to attract attention than an ordi-
nary exit and would take more time
The suit of clothes left behind was evil
IDENTIFY an extra one. No overcoat was
found, and no shoes nor hat were dis
covered. Harris must have worn an over
coat, for the weather was raw, and as no
shirt or collar were found it is argued that
he simply dumped his valuables on the
bed, and was fully dressed and not in his
underclothes when he took the plunge.

cal sketch, covering such items as may in

record of the demeanor, education and
labor of the prisoner while confined i'm

be the chief guide of the Parole Commits
sion. III this report indicates that there Is
reasonable probability that the applicant
will live and remain at liberty without
violating the law, then the board il
authorized to release the convict upon
parole. While on parole the man will re-
main in the legal custody and under the
control of the agent of the warden until

returned TO the prison he may have an
opportunity to appear before the board
and argue in his own defense III the
board is convinced that the conditions of
the parole have been violated the prisoner
must serve for period equal TO the unex-
pired maximum term. Whenever the
Board of Parole is satisfied that any
prisoner on parole will remain at liberty
without violating the law he may he abso-
lutely discharged, and in such event all
surveillance over him is abandoned.
