treasurer no grievance. One day at the
close of the campaign. during which the
Tribune had conducted continuous hos
tilitieS toward him, he was in Chicago
and, meeting a Tribune man, inquired
how his old friend Medill was. Before
he knew what was going on the senator
found that smart young man had in
formed Mr. Medill he wanted to see
him. and that Mr.. Medill had tele-
phoned back that he was at the Trib-
une office.
"Of course" said the senator, 81 went

very cordially. He evidently wasn't en-

me. So asked:
a. Look here, Medin! Why in thun-
der have you been roasting me all
through this campaign
''Medill smiled and said:
'CulIom, sit down and let me tell you
a story. John A. Logan asked me
question very much like that at the
close of a campaign some years ago. He
didn't like what the Tribune had been
saving about him. One day 1 heard a
knock at the door. 1 said, Come in

western lady who had never been east
until after our marriage, she having
been born and brought up in a. small
western city, where, there being a good
private school of something more than
a. local reputation, she was also edu-
Gated. We went to Chicago after the
wedding ceremony, and it was there
that she had her first sight of a body
of water of any considerable size. That
seemed to delight her greatly, and she
was as anxious as | to get to the sea-
shore, where we purposed stopping for
couple of weeks, taking in the Jer-
sey shore resorts of which she had
much read. Long Branch was our first
stopping place, and we had hardly dof-
fed our wraps and removed the stains
of travel before there came from her
pretty lips, as the first request she had
made of me since the wedding: John,
dear, before we have luncheon or go
anywhere to see anything or anybody,
won't you please take me out to see
the tide rise and fall? It's a phenom-
ena that 1 have read about and studied
over, and 1 am not wholly sure but
that one of the reasons why l married

man l should have a chanceSto see the
rise and the fall of the tide OF

away from the spot, after telling her
that she would have to wait for at least
six hours if she would see all of the
phenomena she so longed for. Her first
comment was L don't see how it is that
the moon can make the water rise and
fall like that. Please tell me all bout
it, I expect that l rather swelled with

SUGAR BOUNTY QUESTION.
Robert P. Porter Made Some Discov-
cries In Germany.

London, April 1.-The Berlin CORES
pendent of the Standard says; Mr..
Robert p. Porter, before leaving, told
me a few results of his latest research
es. German beet sugar, he finds, cannot
be manufactured under cents pound
The cost of production is therefore the
same as cane sugar in Cuba If the
grocers of England and the United
States could be induced to promote the
sale of cane sugar in preference to beet,
the consumption and production of the
former would rise considerably and this
would contribute more to the solution
Of the bounty question than prolonged
negotiations. Mr.. Porter thinks also
that if the British government endorses
the Indian countervail, that will be a
further reason for the United States to
change its attitude about the existence
of most favored nation clause.
These various reasons, together with
the increasing production of cane sugar
in Cuba, will force the sugar-producing
countries TO deal anew with the unbear-
able bounty question

Opie Read. the novelist, and Charles
Eugene Banks, the poet, once made a
tour together in Arkansas, giving read
ings from their own works. One even
ing in a certain town just as Banks
had started to recite O. faYorite and
touching poem-his own-a donkey in
shed just behind the opera house"
lifted up his mighty voice, and brayed
as hoarsely and vociferously as ever
donkey did. The partition wall be-
tween the opera house and the donkey
shed was so thin and open that it
seemed as if the donkey was at Banks
elbow.
The poet managed to get through his
verses despite the discordant accom-
paniment, and then Reads turn came.
He went on and told story, and the
donkey was respectfully silent But
when Banks began again the Balaam-
lite steed broke forth with renewed Wig

was indignant. but pulled through.
Again Read told a story without him
drance, and then again the donkey
started in with Banks. A rude boy in
the gallery shouted:
"One at time down there!'
Read, moved by pity for his associate,
bribed a stage-boy to lead the donkey
afar off, and detain the unwelcome
singer until the entertainment was over.

FRUIT OF YEARS TOLL.
Bishop Paret Once Helped "a Poor
Widow Erect a Tombstone.

Bishop Paret tells an interesting story
of the only bill in congress he ever took
an active part in passing. Living in
Washington, the bishop, then rector of
Epiphany parish, found it necessary to
decline signing petitions for office or
making requests of public men for pat
ronage for anyone.
Senator George F. Edmunds, who was
a member of his congregation, asked
him one day whether he never wanted
anything done for him, and at the same
time offering his services, says the Bal
timore Sun. DR.. Paret replied that he
wanted nothing, and then, after a mo-
rnent's thought, told the senator that
there was an act of Justice which he
might perform. A very poor and aged
widow of Epiphany parish had just
claim against the government which
ought to be paid. Her husband had
been & laborer in the war department
WheH Jefferson Davis was secretary.
The man was a good penman, and Mr.
Davis employed him in some clerical
work for the government, explaining 10
him that there was no money to nay
him, but that he would procure an an
preparation. He got the bill making
the appropriation through the senate,
but before it could get through the
house the war came on and Mr.. Davis
left. 1t had several times been pre-
sented since the war, but never could
pass but one house at session.
Mr.. Edmunds became interested in
the matter. and asked for proofs, and
got the documents which satisfied him
of tho business of the claim, which
amc ted to $640. He introduced a bill.
which passed the senate, but failed in
the house. The next session he got it
through the senate again, and asked
DR.. Paret if he did not know of some
Democrat who could get it through the
house. He said that he did and spoke
to Mr.. Fernando Wood. That gentle
man promised that it should pass at all
hazards. But he was taken i'll and died,
and the bill again failed in the house
Senator Edmunds then declared that
the bill should pass both houses if it
consumed all his time and he had to
abandon everything else, and sure
enough it passed and the poor woman
got her money.
In the meantime DR.. Paret had been
elected bishop of Maryland, and had
come to Baltimore to live While the
bishop was visiting Epiphany church
some time after. the Door woman met
him after service and thanked him most
gratefully for what he had done.
How did you use the money!" asked
the bishop.
My DOOR husband" replied the
widow, never had a tombstone over his
grave. When 1 got the $40 had one
made, and that money nearly paid for
it,"

CUBAN MERCHANT MARINE.
Encouraged By the Removal of the
Tonnage Tax

Washington, March 31.-President
Mckinley, by an order made public to-
day through Assistant Secretary of
War Meikeljohn, has taken the first
important action toward laying the
foundation for a purely Cuban mer-
chant marine. He has directed that
all registry fees imposed for document
ing foreign vessels in Cuba be abol-
ished.
The old Spanish rate for vessels was
So per ton, as shown by the vessel s
registered tonnage. President McKin-
ley now proposes to abolish all fees.
This will not only allow the Cubans to
purchase ships in the cheapest markets
of the world, but will enable them to
build up carrying trade which they
50 much need and which. by an oner-
Gus tax under Spanish rule, was al
most impossible.
Cuba has no shipyards. With no
stringent restrictions upon the coasting
trade. Cuba is expected in time to es-
tablish shipyards. But in the interval,
although not so intended, shipbuilding
nations, such as the United States and
England, will more or less profit by
the order. Cuban vessels at present
are compelled to pay local tonnage
dues Of only cents per ton at Cuban
ports.
The coastwise trade of Cuba covers

and had long conversation with Sec
rotary Hay. The affairs in Cuba were

delegates that the United States gov
eminent would not increase the amount
of pay of the Cuban army above the
$3,OO0,000 already sent to Cuba. He
said this matter could not be further
considered. He also informed them
that the president would not consent

the Cuban assembly to pay the Cuban
troops. Later the secretary mentioned
the call to President Mckinley. and
the president informed him that there
would be no further answer to the
delegation than had already been given
by the secretary.

adopted for Cuban vessels is a blue
flag with white ensign. Although no
reciprocal arrangements have been en-
tered into by which the Cubans can
trade with American ports, neverthe-
less they are privileged to do so; but,
of course, their vessels must pay the
same duties as other alien vessels.
The United States government does
not guarantee Cuban vessels protec-
ton outside of Cuban ports, with the
single exception of the United States.
Should the Cubans carry on a shipping
trade with Venezuela and Mexico, as
some of the owners of vessels have al
ready done, they must also take the
risks that accompany the acts.

Nebraska Colonel Fxouerated.

Lincoln, Neb., March 31.-By unanimous
vote the lower house of the legislature
expunged from the records the resolution
censuring Colonel Stotzenberg OF the.
First Nebraska. The first resolution was
the result of the charge that the colonel.
who was regular army officer. was un-
necessarily harsh with the men. Later
reports indicate that the men are more.
than satisfied with their colonel. and this,
together with the brilliant work OF the
regiment under his leadership has caused
change of opinion in the state.
