SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ga despatch from
Randsburg. Cal. says that Felix Donnelly. who
had wandered for four days and nights on the
Mojave Desert and narrowly escaped death,
reached there last night. Donnelly drove a
horse to tho Argus Mountains. seventy miles
away across tho desert. 1t was on his return
trip that he missed his way.
After driving all day and night he reached
Sanders well, only to find it dried up. His horse
fell in the harness and, unhitching the animal
he spread some hay for 1t to cat, and himself set
out on foot for Ell Paso Tunnel. whsre he knew
there was water. Ho thought he knew the loca-
ton of FL Paso Mountain. but became confused
and wandered in q big circle for three days and
nights. when he dropped and lost consciousness
He was found with his head under q bush
near the Keller stage road. The days were ter.
ribly hot on the desert and only tho cool nights
saved his life.

CUBAN
After All. spaia Will CLAIM q Share In Ar
ranging the Cuban Tariff.

Special Gable DeSpdfch to THE Sun.
MADRID. Nov. 25.-The Government has
hitherto declined to publish even an abstract OF
the proposed Cuban constitution as 1t has now
been finally drafted. The newspapers give the
results OF their own information.
The general belief Is that the customs clause
is based on Canovas's scheme of providing for
the creation of a mixed committee of Spanish
and Cuban members. by whom the tariff will be
hxsd. The Cuban Chamber will vote on this
tariff, which will also be approved by tho
Spanish Parliament.
The mixed commission will adopt n largo
measure of protection for Spanish products.
Should the commission disagree, the Cortes will
decide the disputed points. 1t Is regarded as
probable that tho necessity for obtaining tho
approval of the Cortes and the Ministry of the
Colonies will DO abolished after the reforms are
applied in the Antilles. the direction OF colonial
affairs devolving on the Prime Minister.

PROPOSALS FROM CANADA.
Cartwright Says the Donlnion Nay Submit
Further Propositions at Washingtsn.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 25.-In an interview on
the recent Canadian negotiations at Washing.
ton. Sir Richard Cartwright. Minister OF Trade
and in the Dominion Of Canada, said
to-day it might be a plausible assumption to
reason that when tho session at Wa hington
gets under way. the Canadian Government will
submit certain propositions looking toward tho
creation of a Joint commission. He considered
1t a grave legal point whether tho Canadian
Government has the right to arbitrarily sup
press the sealing industry without some action
by Parliament.
He believed much could be accomplished by
such conferences as that recently held at Wash
ington in tho way of forming closer friendly
relations. Many conflicting interests in both
countries had to be adjusted. A treaty could
not be negotiated in q week.

NEW YORK, Jan. S-The movement of
stock prices was irregular today but firm
undertone ruled on the lack of disqueting
Cuban reports from Washington and
cessation of the bank failures In the north
west. Foreign dealers were disposed to
sell leading stocks freely, but the offerings
estimated at ih,G0O shares were well taken
and prices advanced on covering and
moderate commission house inquiry
Transactions in the specialties were on a
large scale and the fluctuations recorded
in that class were in most instances i'm
portant. The steady increase in the in
Quiry for prime investment securities
which is reflected in the large volume OF
transactions in bonds and material ad-
vances in the gilt-edged issues. constitutes
an element Of strength in the general
market position. The Investment inquiry
extends TO Europe. In the industrials to-
day manipulation for a rise was again ap-
parent, but the movement in the railroad
stocks was quiet. The general marke'
sagged slightly but the reaction was soon
checked by manipulation IN sugar. which
carried the price of the stock up 1ss per
cent to ll2i2 on large transactions. The con-
flict with the Arbuckle interests has en-
oouraged a creation of large short inter-
est which is on the alert. however. ready to
run on indications of side support. The
afternoon speculation was largely centered
in sugar. which figured for 440oo shares ou.
of an aggregate for the day of 10000
shares. Profit taking In the late trading
forced general concessions. The closing
was heavy at slight net losses In the rail-
ways. The bond market ruled fairly active
