TREATY WILL BE RATIFIED

WASHINGTON. Dec Ex-senator Frye
talked today 10 a Star reporter with re-
6pect TO the conditions attending and re-.
aultlng from the peace negotiations. With
respect TO tho frequently repeated state
lent ia tho press dispatches that the
fcrtmoia Of tho poSus. with the excep
lion Of England. was Opposed 10 tho
United States. and looked with dlsfay0r
upon ho attitude of this government
IN dealing with Spain. Senator Frye said:
II saw no evidence OF such sentiment
existing outside o. France, and In France
that sentiment appeared 10 be confined
10 tho press. which does not reflect the
sentiment OF the nation. nor Of the Dco-
plo generally"
'Do you think there viii be any res
toratlon Of cordial relations between
Spain and tho United States7'
II think that very soon after the rau-
hcauon OF the peace treaty and the rs-
restoration of diplomatic relations there
will DO no difficulty about negotiating
commercial treaties and treaty for the
release OF priso1ers' and such other mat
ters directed toward thu restoration o.
friendly relations between the two gov
ernments."

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-Major Gen

army, passed through the city today on
his way from Havana to New York City,
He said there would undoubtedly be
trouble in the maintenance OF order
pending the transfer Of the control of
affairs from the Spanish government to

but he did not anticipate that 1t would
reach proportions beyond the control Of
tho American forces.
According to his representations the
feeling between the Spaniards and the
Cubans is intensely bitter, a serious rup-
ture between the two factions now being
avoided only by the presence of the
American troops, and the knowledge that
the American military authorities ara
determined to preserve order by the
prompt exercise Of force In case of ne
cessity.

A right to tread so softly
Beside the couch Of pain;
To sooth with gentle fingers
The tangled locks again.
A right to cheer the weary
On the battle fields of life;
To give the word OF sympathy
Amid the toll and strife;
To lift the burden gently
From sore and oft tired hearts,
And never weary of the task
Til gloomy care departs.
A right to be woman
In truest woman's work.
If life should be hard one
No duties ever shirk.
A right to show to others
How strong woman grows
When skies are dark and lowering
And life bears not rose.
