He declared in the first place. in re-
Spouse to the interrogatoTies Of the
court, that the company Will not under

any books other than those already Civ

In the second place, he admitted that

president of the Standard Company has

The arguments were principally de-
voted to the question as to whether or
not the officers of the Standard have
complied with the recent order of the
court to produce the company bonks
showing gross earnings and distribu-
ton of dividends since the trust was

gross tonnage of steam and sailing vss-
sells built or registered in the country,
in the last six months of 1898, amount
ed to 10000 gross tons. which is a very
material advance over the $1,000 for the
corresponding period of 1897, and over
the 10000 tons for the same period of
1895. True, a portion of the added
tonnage includes four 12,000-to:1 foreign
built ships registered by act of con-
gress and three 7000-ton Spanish steam
ships captured in war. Nevertheless, as
the Globe says, 1--WE arc headed" to-
wards the construction of an adequate
merchant marine, and experience has
shown that very little is accomplished
by purely artificial encouragement in
this line of business. The estimated IN
crease, for the current year, OF double
the tonnage of the year past, seems not
at all eXtravagant.

CUBAN REVENUE.

Gen. Woods Investigations show
that the average customs receipts in
Cuba, from 1856 to 1897, amounted to
$12, 645, 1914, exclusive of what was stolen
from the government. Nearly $9,000,-
900 of this came from Havana, $1,000, 900
from Cienfuegos, $7S1O00 from Matan-
zas and $639,000 from Santiago The
month, however amounted to more
than 100000, which represents annual
receipts of about $4,000, or an in
crease of 1000 over the annual aver
age at Santiago for the previous twelve
years A similar increase at the other
Cuban ports would make very graft
flying exhibit for the American admin
istration.
The increase is going to be needed,
too, for Col. Warnings estimate of the
expense of imperative sanitary i'm
provements at Havana alone was $10.-
900, 900, and Furthermore, the work
should he done Immediately, and if
possible completed within a year. What
has been already accomplished by
Leonard Wood at Santiago is we'll
known. The problem is now to ex-
tend these improvements throughout
the island, and the seaports will have
to support the expense of the work,
for the most part.
1t was the belief that the recent or
der from Washington, directing that ac-
counts of receipts and expenditures be
transmitted to Havana, implied strip
ping the city and province of all its
funds. that created the disturbance and
alarm lately reported at Santiago. The
fact is. the order provided, in the first
place, for an accounting to single re-
sponsible head. In time, however,
when all the ports are in condition for
business, each province will be al
lowed its proportional part Of the isl
and revenues for local improvements,
and OF course Santiago will simply
have to share with the others.

Opponents of the Spanish treaty. are
preparing for long speeches. and they
nave right to make them. The char
acter of the men is guarantee also
that what they say will be worth lis
tening to. They might further delav
ratification by resorting to fillbuster-
ing, but the character of the oppost-
ton seems sufficient, except perhaps in
the case of Senator German, to make
resort to obstruction improbable.
Furthermore, the utmost that can he
accomplished is to prevent ratification
by the present senate, and compel the
immediate reassembling of the new sen
ate, which would undoubtedly ratifv
the treaty with little or no DELAY.
Hence, there seems to be scant ercour-
agement to suppose that anything tam
gible will be gained by delay. The
sooner the inevitable is over with. the
better for all concerned Then we shall
have an established basis OF fact on
