wrinkles disappear. He is in excellent
health and spirits. and believes that he will
live a long time yet.

piled to the court for protection from him.

LOUIS sOMEILLAN's TRIAL.
The Prosecutor Urges the COndemna-
tiOn of the American.

tion of the American.
HAVANA, Jan. 9.-The trial of Louis So
meillan, charged with conspiracy against
the Spanish government, was resumed this
afternoon. General Fitzhugh Lee, consul
general for the United states, was not in
attendance. A number of witnesses were
examined, and the prosecuting attorney
summed up the case for the government.
He said that the tribunal should accept as
proven the evidence presented by the wit
nesses against the prisoner and impose
life sentence on Somellan. He recalled
Sanguilly's trial, and said that it was only
similar act of the same great drama. In
the one case the arrogant soldier APP
parently the chief character; in the other
case the play centered in a common labor
ing man. Both, however, were working by
dark and underhanded means for COM
mon end. He insisted that the law of 1921
did not apply. Someillan, he contended,
was not an American citizen. The law of
1921, he asserted, was not in force. Even
though it should be admitted that the law
still in force, 1T should be oyerruled,
because il offered no guarantee and was
not just in it's effect. This was the law
which the attorney for the defense claimed
allowed six magistrates in the tribunal in
stead of five. A request by the defendant
for tribunal thus constituted was yester-
day denied by the court. Continuing, the
attorney for the prosecution asserted that
the tribunal before which Somellan had
been tried formed according to treaty.
He claimed that Someilan's acts had made
him notorious throughout the colony. and
insisted that the public good and the neces-
sity for the suppression Of the rebellion re-
quired the conviction of the prisoner.
The prosecuting attorney then reviewed
Someillan's family history. He said that
Someillan was native of Spain. and that
since 1876 he had enrolled himself under the
noble banner of the United States for the
purpose of conspirng against the Spanish
government He repudiated the proofs and
the documents drawn before American
notary public, claiming that they were
without force and not binding in Spain. He
called Key West q tilibustering enrolling
station, and claimed that many of the nat
uralized Cuban-AmeIicans were spurious
citizens, with foreign bogus naturalization
papers. In conclusion. he urged that So
meillan was entitled to no consideration,
that he had committed one of the most Sc
rious offenses against the Spanish govern
ment and he urged the tribunal 10 condemn
the prisoner. The attorney for the defense
will address the tribunal on Monday next.

TREATY'S CHANCES FADING
Probably Will Fail in Senate Even
in Its Present Meaningless Form.
Twenty-Five Senator's Against 1t in
Any Form, and But Thirty-one
Needed to- Kill.

The impression is growing that the arbi-
tration treaty cannot win even in its new
and emascuIated form Notwithstanding il
is regarded as now all but meaningless,
it still means too much to receive the sup
port OF the necessary two-thirds of all the
Senators. tits easy 10 countnearly twenty
five Senators who are against the treaty
in any form, and it takes but thirty-one to
defeat il. Many of these Senators snare
the opinion Of Senator Stewart that it is
impossible to get the devil out of the
treaty except by scotching the whole
thing.
The business of arranging pairs is a
tedious one, and is giving the Senators IN
charge of the pairing a great deal of
trouble. The ordinary party divisions on
which all pairingis based are unituportant
in this present situation, and cannot serve
as basis for pairing. But there is a still
more puzzling question, and that is, the
necessity of giving two for one in pai ring
There must now be three parties to every

all close the whole matter will present
some knotty problems Whileordinaryp party
pairing will not be INDUCED in, il is under

Chamber of Commerce Investigates

Chamber of Commerce Investigates
the Effect of the Dingley Bill.
Paris, April 3-The Dingley tariff bill.
now before the American Congress, has
materially excited American business
houses here. The American Chamber of
Commerce has held a largely attended
meeting to consider the effects of the bill
Among those present was Mr.. Vignaud,
secretary OF the American embassy.
Vice President Peartree related statis-
tics of the mutual trade of France and
the United States, showing that the latter
country had sent into France, duty free,
goods to the value of 1S0,0 ,000, 900 francs,
while France had sent into the United
States, duty free, only 80, 900 900 francs
worth of articles. France, he further
said, favors American exports by admit
ting 39,000,000 francs worth ON the
minimum tariff, but the market for Ameri-
can manufactured articles was very re-
strieted.
Owing to the reduction of duties to
some countries, not the United States,
the chamber suggests that the United
States reduce its tariff on some OF the most
important French ex ports. France would
then admit many American articles at
reduced rate. The chamber hopes that
the additional discretionary powers asked
for by President Mckinley in his inaugural
address will be granted, so that reciprocal
relations between France and the United
States can be established.
