what President Mckinley says on tho
Immigration question. a law OF this

extent Il Win prove a remedy for strikes
ana labor troubles; that depends upon
whether tho .strikes are due to the
foreign laborers working for 3iow
rate OF wages, or some other condi-
tions. IN my district. where there are
n great many bitumlnous coal miners.
the restriction Of immigration will prove
a great blessing. These miners do not
make a great deal OF money when they
work all OK the time with good rates Of
pay. There Is a third more men than
there ought 10 be for the work there Is
to do. Under their laws all must have
work, consequently they divide ,thelr
labor with their nelghbots. and no one
works full time. Each takes his turn at
laying of TO give some one else q
chance. IL we had had good immlgra.
tion laws, properly enforced, there
would not be 80 many men crowdlnS
each other for q single Job, and all
would be making more money, Tho
pauper foreign laborers are responsible
for cheap wages. II Is to them that a
great many contractors turn rather
than pay TO American wage learners

Still another chalnless wheel has ap-
peared that has not bevel gears. This
time 1t Is what may best be called q
tooth and rolled gear. The teeth are
triangular in shape, with their sides cut
in peculiar double curve-seml-cy-
cloldal. On the front sprocket the backs
Of the teeth are outward. with the edges
facing inward. On the rear sprocket the
position Is reversed. The driving rod
runs outside the rear fork instead Of
within. On each side of the driving rod
are about twelve round pinions. nearly
as big us O lead pencil, which engage
with the teeth OF the sprockets. 1t Is
something decidedly novel In gearing,

1t good. 1t Is the product of a saddle

Cuban Independence

Cuban Independence.
Tomas Estrada Palma, delegate of the
Cuban provisional government to the
United States when asked this morning If
he had any comments to make regarding
the statement in New York yesterday nv
doratio s. RubeEs. counsel of the Cuban
Juna dictated the following reply:
"Ail l care to say is this: That the Gu
bans are struggling for absolute independ-
ence. They have made tremendous sacrj
fees for achieving this purpose They con-
slider themselves already emancipated from
Spanish rule, therefore they will resist
all interference intended to compel them
to pay anew an allegiance to the sover-
eighty cf Spain"
Asked what position he would consider
1t likely the provisional government would
take In view of possible armistice, he
said: IF the American government ac-
knowledges the independence Of Cuba and
recognizes the actual government of the
Cuban republic, 1 think it would not be
difficult for the government of the republic
of Cuba to accept an armistice, with the
purpose of a. suring the peace of the
island"

formerly discontented are quiefed today
and arc convinced that the attitude assum.
ed by this government Will be maintained.
The press news from Madrid is regarded
as making war inevitable, but the salts
faction felt in congressional circles is
founded on a conviction that the President
is firm and will maintain his demand for
the freedom of Cuba from the disorderly
Spanish sovereignty.
Cabinet officers and others are quoted for
the declaration that the Presidents mes
sage will be sent to Congress tn exactly the
form which had been given it when it was
expected to be sent in yesterday-that it
will recommend the freedom of Cuba from
Spanish control and armed Intervention If
necessary to secure this freedom. The sit
uation is calmer, because 1t seems more
clear and certain. War is regarded as al
most at hand, but is anticipated with COM
placency and a confidence. that everything
consistent with the dignity of this govern
ment and the rights OF humanity has been
done to preserve peace.
