THE WAR ENDED.
President Mckinley BY prOCldma-
ton Announces the Ratification
OF the Peace Treaty.

On April IL at Washington M. Cam
bon, French ambassador, acting for
Spain, and President Mckinley, for
the United States, formally exchanged
copies of the peace treaty.
The effect of the action was to CON-
pletely renew the peaceful relations,
trade. official, diplomatic, consular
country and Spain. Following
the appointment of United
States minister to Madrid and Span
ish minister to Washington, it is ex-
pected that consuls will be sent to Bar
celona and the other large places in
Spain where our consular representa-
tives were suspended by the war. AT
the same time Spanish consuls will be
appointed throughout this country.
For time the trade and navigation
between the two countries will pro-
coed without treaty protection, as the
war put an end to the commercial
treaty, but treaty of trade, navigs-
ton and commerce, suitable to the
new conditions and the needs of both
countries, and also an extradition
treaty, will be negotiated soon.

ed|.
"And, whereas, the said convention
has been duly ratified on both parts
and the notifications of the two govern
ments were exchanged in the city of

vention to be made public to the end

built homes because they could not
rent houses. During the years that
were stringent all over the Union. many
settlers went east to look after Gheir
property int rests more closely. A year

chased by the present occupants, who
were either attracted by the climate, or
are cattle men from the plains, who

The Texas and Pacific railroad,

that unless penalties for violation of

that line will withdraw from the South

Chairman Pratt is said to be much wor-

qua.e brake power. But that would not
do for the officials. the blame must be
put on some ones shoulder, and so the
driver aud guard, who were victims of
circumstance, were reduced in positi-
on and pay (9s. and Is. per week res
pectively), which unjust reduction
they are still suffering. AT the Board
CT Trade inquiry which was subsecuen-
tly held, Colonel Yorke strongly
recommended 20-ton brakes or two To-
ton brakes with man in each. But
what do we find? That some of the
trains never have had big brakes, and
are today working with 9 or 10 ton
brakes, with only one brakeman, and
that the men have to still trust to priv
ate traders to supply the almighty L. &
n. w. with brake power to work their
trains safely. In the event of another
runaway occurring what becomes of
Colonel Yorke's recommendation, and
who will be to blame-the men who
are doing their best to work safely or
the officials who are wilfully ignoring
board of trade recommendations?
IF some of the officials had to work
the trasns there would soon be an alte-|
ration. They do not care abou. hav-

not matter about others. Just think

wagon another tons.
Tine engine in front is fitted with
wooden-braxe blocks. the brake van in
rear is fitted with same, and out OF the
whole thirty wagons there is not one
that has got good brake to pin down.
A very unpleasant position truly. but
one that men are often placed in, and
it is only by the greatest care that
they can keep their trains under prop
err control.
