Havana Kicks For Sunday Races.

Havana, Nov. 1.-THE local newspa-
pers object to the criticism made by
some American journals upon Sunday
racing in Havana. They point out
that, after mass on Sunday, all Latin
countries take holiday, and assert
that, if the Americans wish the
Cubans to popularize some sport
as a substitute for bull fighting, Sun
days must be devoted to it, because
Saints days are kept strictly for relig-
ious observances and at other times
there is no great number of Cubans
wealthy enough to forsake business
for the sake of amusement.
The Discussion, which urges the
high American officers in the island to
continue to patronize a noble sport,
says:
''When 1000 people brave the pros
poets of a rain such as was before us
On last racing day, among them the
very best people of Havana, their
course is sufficient proof that the ETH
tude of the American officers are
heartily endorsed by our representa-
tive society,""

MAY GIVE GDAIEMALAP(ACE.
Counting Foreign Capital Which
Would bring Foreign Protection.
MILLIONS AT ONE PER CENT.

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-The Even
ing Post states that a syndicate of
American. English and German bank
.rs has about perfected arrangements
with the government of Guatemala to
advance to that country SIS, 100000, re-
lieving it of its debts and placing the
country on a firm financial basis. I'm
der the terms of the agreement, the
money will be loaned for a. term of
twenty-five or fifty years, and will
draw interest at per cent. In addi-
ton, the syndicate will be allowed to
control certain percentage of the Gus
toms receipts of the different ports.
1t is believed by those interested
that this loan will have the e.s,ct OF
ending the numerous internal revolu-
tons which have threatened to disrupt
the country. There will be so much
American, English and German capital
involved in the country that the three
powers will necessarily be called upon
to protect their interests, and it is be-
lieved the presence of a feet of foreign
warships will so overawe the revolu-
tionists that the evils resulting there
from will be Obviated.

Boycott Street Cars.

Springfield, ILL.,. Nov. 1.-THE boy

Dor against the Springfield Consolidated
Street Railway Company, instituted
because the management refused to
recognize the National Association of
Carmen, began today and tonight the
leaders of the labor organization de-
clare the receipts of the company were
nearly 500 less though the street car
people claim they were about the same
as usual Miners, in particular. re-
fused to ride, and walked to and from
their work. The labor leaders will
commence running hacks and eXcur-
sion wagons tomorrow for those who
will not patronize the street ears.

THAT SECRET TREATY MYTH.
It Would be an Impossibility Under Our
Constitution.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The latest re
port from London, to the effect that a
secret treaty between Great Britain
and the United States and China has
been arranged to preserve the integ-
rity of China and maintain the ''Open
door," is denied most positively here
by no less an authority than the Score
tary of State.
"There is not a word of truth in it,
said Mr.. Hay. ''Under our constitu-
ton there would be no validity in such
| an arrangement. A secret treaty with
a foreign government, except modus
vivendi, which is merely temporary
and provisional, and is always made
public, is impossible To be binding
treaty must be ratified by the Senate.
You cannot exaggerate the impossible
ty of such a thing"
The only official interest the United
States has in the partition of China is
in preserving American trade rights in
that country. This government does
not care to be party to the dismem-
berment of China, although there is
ample reason to suppose that continent
tai powers would be only too glad to
assist the United States in obtaining
actual possession of some Chinese terri.
tory, thus securing a practical indorse-
ment of their partition scheme and
interference in the plans for dismem'
berment.
