CENSURED BY ROOSEVELT.
Naval COurt-MartiaI Severely Criti-
cised by '"Teddy the Terror"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The Navy De-
partment has just made public the proceed
ings of the court-martial in the case OF
Lieutenant C. s. Stanworth, charged with
intoxication on duty on board the Adams,
at Port Angeles Wash. The papers are re-
markable for the severity of censure passed
on both court and the defendant by Acting
Secretary Roosevelt in his Endorsement on
the case. The defendant pleaded in bar that
he had been previously punished in that
he had been suspended from duty by the
captain, and the court allowed the suffi-
cheney of this plea. In his Endorsement Mr..
Roosevelt says, after reviewing the history
Of the case:
1.-THE court clearly erred in this case in
the first instance in sustaining the plea of
the accused in bar of trial. and again in
refusing to correct its error when pointed
out by the department. 1t is difficult to un-
derstand the display of obstinacy or OBJ
tundity thus presented, inaSmuch as the
court thereby assumes to put its own in
terpretation of precedentS and decisions
originally established and rendered by the
department above the Interpretation placed
thereon by the department itself By shield
ing himself behind a technical plea Lieu
tenant Stanford has practically admitted
his guilt. The case of an officer of the navy
who is obliged to admit by a plea of this
character that he does not deem it prudent
to submit the question of his guilt or inno-
cence of grave charge to the judgment
of a court-martial is most deplorable."

tives of window-glass manufacturers from
all parts of the country have been in ses-
sion here all day for the purpose of devils
ing plan by which the window-glass man.
ufacturers of the country may be formed
into one organization. The Western Asso-
citation and the Pittsburg Association have
already agreed to amalgamate provided
sufficient numbers of manufacturers here
tofore not identified with such a combine

the committee to-day demonstrated that
nine-tenths of the manufacturers are will
ing to SO into the new organization which
will be known as the American Window
glass Association, The new combination
represents a capital of $40, 600 and in
cludes all of the principal plants of the
United States. The output Of the consoli-
dated concern is estimated at $40 000, 90
worth of glass a year. 1t will have virtual
control of the trade and as stocks are low
and uncertainty about the settlement of the
able that decided advance in prices will
soon follow.
The committee to-day practically COM
pleted its plans and will convene to-mor-
row 10 settle details. Under the new plan
IL Is expected TO have but one general sell
ing agency which will be in Pittsburg
through which all window glass will be
a general meeting to be held in the near
future at which officers will be elected and
the new organization will commence actual
business.

Tuesday evening, be true. state of affairs

ton of the State Department. When the
Peking arrived at Honolulu the attention of

cradle comment The Japanese were ap-
parently under the command OF a veteran

unqer noncommissioned officers. During the
voyage military discipline was observed

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Elkins.
of West Virginia, said to-day that he
wished to correct a misapprehension that he
claimed the authorship of Section % of the
tariff law. a number of his colleagues had
been interested with him in framing it, he
said, and were entitled to such credit as
the public should give It, "The movement
in behalf of a discriminating tariff provision
will go steadily forward said Mr. Elkins,
"and there will be no halt until adequate
protection is secured for our American
shipping and against the privileges of the
Canadian railroads. The first thing I viii
do on the reassembling of Congress viii be
to present bill providing for the discrim-
inatory duties which it had been hoped
would be secured by Section p of the tariff
act l am preparing the bill, and it is about
half completed"

CUBA'S NEW TARIFF LAW.
How 1t VIII Affect the Trade of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Copies of the
new tariff law, as recently gazetted at
Madrid, have been received here They
show in detail the manner in which the
trade between the United States and Cuba
will be affected, and the basis on which
reciprocity can be secured. The preamble
recites: THE government shall be able to
decree a special recharge of so per cent
Of all the duties on the products of what
ever nation that, in the application of its
general tariff, shall prejudice Spanish
products by treating them differentially."
Under this clause the government retains
discretion to apply an additional duty of
80 per cent if American duties are con-
strued to prejudice Spanish products. The
preamble also suppresses entirely the ia
vored nation clause" and provides that
"as regards commercial treaties it is de-
cided that all treaties or commercial con-
ventions which affect the customs of the
island must be special"
The abolition of the favored nation
clause IS said to be a marked departure
from the old system under which the
United States or any other country could
claim all the advantages given by treaty
to any other country. Under the new plan
