A CUBAN CELEBRATION
Crowds Honor the Memory
of the First President.
CUBAN POLITICS ARE UNSETTLED
Principles of lndepend-
ence.

Havana, Jan. 31.-Four thousand
persons, men in their best clothing and
women gaily dressed, stood amid "a
pouring rain in Paula square today
listening to six intensely patriotic
eulogies of Jose Marti, the Cuban pa
triot and first president of the Cuban
revolutionary government. A tablet
to his memory was unveiled at the
house where he was born in a street
near by, and 80 societies, consisting of
2.500 persons, with banners, flags and
five bands, marched through the prin-
cipal thoroughfares to the square
The procession. whose distinguishing
feature was 500 girls wearing white
dresses and red liberty caps, started at
o'clock, reaching the square two
hours later. The streets were gaily
decorated with Cuban and American
flags, and though the interest ran high,
there was no disorder of any kind.
Marti's widow, mother and son, led
the parade, with the first Cnban flag
used by the patriot, which was loudly
cheered.
This promises to be lively week in
Cuban politics. The special com mis-
sion from the Cuban military assembly
will return to Havana. after its inter-
views with the Washington govern
ment, and popular interest is increas-
ing in the preparations for the mass

men as Senior Giberga, noted autono-
mist; General Leyte Vidal, General

deputies tomorrow a bill providing
that the cases of trial revision shall be
brought before the united sections Of

fioodgates of the Dreyfus agitation.
The situation appears more confusing
and menaciag than ever. For days
the anti-Dreyfusites have been ciam0r-
ing to have the case referred to the
united sections, because they have con-
sidered it certain that among more than
30 judges they could rely upon an anti
Dreyfus majority.

Americana Canadian Treaty.

Washington, Feb. Prospects for
an agreement between the British and
American joint high commission on
questions affecting Canada and the
United States have greatly improved
within the last week, and it is ex-
pxected now that complete. agreement
on all points will be reached early in
February. ----.. .-e
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in the way of the commission.
The principal point of friction was in
regard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law. Canadians
demanded concessions on this that the
American commissioners were not at
first willing to make.
This question has not yet been set
tied, but it. is understood that both
sides are more conciliatory, each being
anxious that the entire negotiations
should not fail on account of one point
of agreement. -

A COMMON INTEREST
Fish Legislation tor Wash.
ington and Oregon.
JOINT MEETING: HELD AT TACOMA
Measures That Are to Be Recommended
to the Two Legislatures for
Enactment.

An unanimous agreement. has been
reached by the joint legislative COM
mitteea of Oregon and Washington
touching fishing industries of mutual
interest to both states. They formu-
lated resolutions making such recon.
mendations as will, it is thought, OBJ
viate differences between the two states
arising from conflicting laws.
Among the points of agreement
reached may be mentioned the follow
ing:
Changes relative to the close season
for salmon-fishing on the Columbia
river; the Sunday close law is to be
done away with; the Washington law
is to be made to conform with the Ore
gon law regulating the fall salmon close
season; the gill-net license is to be left
at $2.5 with the addition of an indi-
vidual license fee of ST. each for all
fishermen, as at present provided for in
the Oregon law; the set-net license
fee is to be raised in both states from
81 to So. so; concurrent laws relative to
sturgeon lines on the Columbia river
are to be enacted; the appointment Of
a joint commission to establish the
proper boundary lines is to be asked.
The agreements were reached at Ia
coma Saturday. The Oregon commits
sion consisted of Fish Commissioner
Mcclure, Senators Reed and Daily, and
Representatives Myers, Curtis and Far
rell. That. of Washington comprised
Fish Commissioner Little. Senators
Megler and MoReavy, and Representa-
tives Colwell. Sims and Daniels.
1t was concluded to recommend the
close-season proposition should begin
at noon. March /, and close at noon,
April Is. 1t was recommended to
make the Washington fall season con-
current with that of Oregon-from
August 10 to September 10.
No settlement was arrived at on the
boundarv-line question. Both states
will probably appoint two citizens
each, who will select an engineer, con-
slider the matter, and submit drawings
and profles at the net biennial session
in each state.
