ART EXHIBIT.
Formal 0Pening of this
Society Event.
Splendid Display In Albert Hall
Large Collection.
I'VE

In that triumphant march of educa-
tional and industrial progress, 50
characteristic of this. country, there
has been no institution whose aim is
of higher or more vital interest to-
ward the promotion ofuseful citizen
ship than the public school system.
Ever ready to recognize merit in
any feature that would add improve
ment to that system. it was with an
almost concerted movement that the
patrons of education devoted energy
to the introduction of art into the
public schools. when the enterprise
was inaugurated a few years ago.
Commensurate with the advanced
ideas of the citizens of this city, it is
but natural that the movement
should meet with encouragement
and advancement here, and a COM
mittee composed of Mesdames w.
C. Findley, w. G.. Parsons, r. S,
Thomas, L. c.. Miles, A. Work, S. NJ.
Battles, Misses Helen Storer and
Grace Sylla and Mr.. J. n. Kelly,
have been giving a series of enter
tainments for the purpose of raising
funds with which to purchase pic
lures to decorate the walls of the
public schools of the city. The last
of this season s entertainments is now
III progress. 1t is an art exhibition
being held in Albert hall in the store
building of NJ. O'Neil & Co., and its
formal opening was Friday night, a
large and appreciative assemblage of
visitors being present. The exhibi-
ton will continue until Friday even
ing, May 26, and bids fair to become
the society event of the season. The
hall will also be open during the day.
The selection of pictures has been
chosen with care and taste, and the
value of the collection is
at $500. The walls of
three rooms are hung with pictures,
the-collection being on exhibit
by NJ. O'Neil 4 Co., of Berlin phot-
ographs of famous paintings through
out Europe. Elson & Co., of Boston,
have on exhibition number of car

lecture and sculpture, portraits of

Il large collection of reproductions of

have also contributed to the exhibit
a number of beautiful and artistic
pictures.
Prominent among the pictures eX-
hibited are noticed photograph of

SOME of Mr.. Hanna's newspapers,
for the sake of political eXpediency,
are boldly denouncing the trusts,
some even going TO the extreme of
saying that if the trusts are not
destroyed the people will be ruined.
The same organs that say the
unkindest things about trusts are the
loudest shouters in the Hanna pros
perity chorus. The New York Sun
puts these newspapers in an awkward
position when it asks: How can
the people be prosperous if the trusts
are running them?" The answer is
that the bulk of Hanna prosperity is
for the trusts, which thrive at the
expense of the people, but none of the
Administration organs will have the
courage to admit it.

Herbert E. Strout, the Minneapolis ex-
police officer who has been on trial In the
district court for the past week, charged
with manslaughter in the second degree,
was found not guilty yesterday morning,
the jury rendering a verdict to Judge
Harrison at. Il o'clock, after being out
within a minute of two of twentyfour
hours.
Strout was overjoyed at the verdict and
tears streamed down his cheeks as he
realized it.
Strout, 1t will be recalled, was pursuing
two young men who had been trying to
dispose of a quantity of copper wire,
which the officer thought had been stolen.
He fired one shot which struck one Of
the fleeing young men, Dennis Dolan,
killing him. The contention of the defense
was that the bullet struck the stone
viaduct at Plymouth avenue and Second
street, where the accident occurred, and
glanced and struck Dolan.
In the course of the trial it was shown
that the copper wire had been stolen and
that much stealing of this kind had been
going on and that Strout was endeavoring
to do his duty and, when he fired,
took no aim and fired in the air.
Strout resigned his position on the
police force shortly after the occurrence.
The jury was sent out at II o'clock Sat-
urday morning and remained out all night,
standing, 1t is said, eleven for acQuittal
and one for conviction. Yesterday morn
ing the jury asked Judge Harrison to
re-read portions of his charge and then
retired, returning in half an hour with a
verdict of not guilty.

HAS FAITH IN CUBANs.
Gen. Lee Believes They Will Work
Out Their own Salvation.

Out Their Own Salvation.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, who arrived in Washington last
night from New York, in an interview
today said that the people OF Cuba are
steadily improving under the existing
protectorate of the United States and are
slowly but surely rebuilding their wan
wasted homes and repairing their Grip
pied fortunes. Life and property are Sc
cure in Cuba, owing largely, he said, to
the salutary restraint exercised by the
American military authority. He thinks
the time not ripe yet, however, for
purely Cuban government. CUBA said
Gen. Lee, is improving. The Cubans are
tractable and quiet and the revolution
has given them self-respect and self-reli-
ance. Their impulses are generally in
the right direction, but, of course, both
in theory and practice of self-governmen
they are wholly without experience.
There is, among certain Cubans, a deep
seated prejudice against some men who
the Cubans think oppressed them under
Spanish rule and, if given j free rein,
the Cubans would make short work of
them.
The United States government Is
pledged to grant independence to Cuba
after the island has been paci6ed, and
I believe that promise should be fulfilled
Just as swiftly as we can in reason and
justice The industrial situation IS i'm
proving and money is gradually going
into Cuba but nothing like as fast as 1t
would if investors were sure that property
would remain safe for years to come
and be protected by government strong
enough to enforce law and ORDER
Gov. Lee declined to discuss political
affairs in Cuba and whether or not the
CTbans desired independence or annexa-
ton.

TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Final Step in the Restoration OF
Former Friendly Relations.

Former Friendly Relations.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-An under
standing has been reached by which 1t Is
expected that negotiations will be opened
soon at Madrid for a new treaty be-
tween the United States and Spain. This
will be the last step towards completely
restoring the friendly relations between
the two countries.
The war with Spain swept the OLD
treaty out of existence, and the only In
ternational agreement now in existence
is the peace treaty, which, confined to
the events growing out of the war, has
no reference to commerce, navigation,
extradition and the other manifold rela-
tons between nations in times of peace
The coming negotiations will be for the
purpose of forming such a treaty OF
commerce, amity and friendship. The
present condition is quite anomalous, as
there is no basis on which persons could
be extradited from one country to the
other, or for the determination of any
commercial difference which might arise.
Fortunately, there has been no case oc-
casioning serious difference.
Both sides expect that the new treaty
will be a great Improvement on the old
one, which was an Anticipated document,
dating back to 1895, with many of its
provisions devoted to the boundary be-
tween Florida, then a possession of Spain,
and the United States. Save for the
Gushing protocol, it had been impossible
to frame a new treaty satisfactory to
both sides, and it remained for the war
to dispose of 1t and thus open the way
for a modern treaty.
1t has been thought that the Due
d'Arcos would conduct the negotiations
with the state department here, but the
minister is rather relieved at the I'M
derstanding that the work will be carried
on at Madrid. The United States minis.
ter there, Mr.. Bellamy Storer, will act

ago Kittie Ross was a familiar figure TO
the Tenderloin. She claims to have been
born In st. Paul, and has been arrested
several times for petty offenses.
Kitty is said by the Minneapolis detec-
tiVes to have been an accomplice of the
man Lindberg, who was sent to the state
prison for the burglary of a dentists

commander at Ell Cristo. The defendants
named besides Gen. Toral are the COM
manders of the outlying military posts
which were included in the capitulation
of Santiago.
The most interesting feature Of the re-
port is the fact that the court lays great
stress upon the Importance of the Amer
lean navy and declares without Its CO.
operation it would have been impossible
for the American forces to have COM
PEELED the surrender Of Santiago. The
sentence of the court concludes by vim
dicating Gen. Toral from any censure
for the surrender Of the city, stating
that he had used every means of de-
tense required by the laws of honor
and duty, as attested by the brilliant bat
ties sustained from June % to the day
of capitulation. and the many casualties
