A patent leather combine has been
talked of for ten years or more, but not
until the present time has any definite
and favorable project shaped itself.

is a question of but a few weeks at
the most. The capitalization of the new

Cleaning Store windows.

A correspondent advises us in regard
to a method of cleaning windows which
experience has taught him is far ahead
of the window brush and rubber idea
The plan is to put into a cheese cloth
sack about one-half pound of whiting.
A clean cloth wet enough to hold IN the
hand without dripping water and
clean old muslin cloth are the other re-
quirements. The whiting bag is drawn
over the window. followed by the damp
cloth. when the window is polished with
the clean cloth. The description of the
three applications may leave the i'm
preston, he remarks, that it will take a
long time to clean the windows, but his
experience has been that the ordinary
boy who requires from one to two
hours for cleaning a pair of windows
with a brush and rubber can do the
same job by the above method in from
20 minutes to half an hOur.-Iron Age.

Usual Practice fer n BellIgerent Power to
Place Interests in Hands of Friends.
London Replying in the house of
commons to Ian Zachery Malcolm, con-
servative member who asked how long
the British consuls in Spain would con-
tinue their extra work and expenditure
by acting for the United States and
how they would be remunerated, the
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office, William st. John Broderick,
said the government was aware that
the considerable extra work had been
thrown on the consuls, but he added
there had been no additional expendi-
lures.
Continuing, the under secretary said
the British government undertook the
protection of American interests in
Spain at the beginning of the war and
will continue to protect them so long
as it is considered convenient by the
United States government.
He explained that it was the usual
practice for belligerent power to
place it's interests in the hands of a
friendly power and that in such cases
there was no question Of remuneration.

iourned until May 1.

The Antitrust Bill is Amended-Texas
Legislators at Work.
.Austin. Texas. The house of the
Texas legislature has passed finally its
bill making one per Tcent. tax on all
incomes in excess of $4,000 a year.
The bill will now go to the senate for
consideration and it is believed that it
will pass that body.
The free conference committee on
the anti trust bill made their report TO
the legislature Friday and the house
adopted the report without debate.
The senate passed it over until next
Monday for action, when it will doubt
lessly adopt it. The conference report
makes only two important changes In
the bill The first one eliminates the
section which exempted labor organiza-
tions from the provisions of the bill
and the second provides that merchants
who innocently buy goods from trusts
shall not be amenable to the penalties
of the law Otherwise the bill has
been unchanged and provides all the
severest restrictions against trusts of
any and all kinds.

I.nnp IEIand,a PrnRress.

The extension throughout Long
Island of macadam road building IS
shown to advantage in increased facll-
tiles of communication, enhanced
property values and general conve2-
ience. The good roads agitation,
enormously aided by the wheelmeE,
has been promoted further by the
adoption of the comprehensive New
York statute of 1898, which pro7idsa
for a general improvement of New
York highways under a division OF
cost of fifty per cent. to the State,
thirty five per cent. to the county,
and fifteen per cent. to the town or
property owners benefited, the main
tenance of the road after its compile
ton being made county charge.
The full benefits of this statutory
provision are not yet so clearly visible
as to Justify the predictions of its adj
vocates, but the adoption of the plan
that devolves on local instead of State
authority the initiation of such under
takings, makes improvements easier
in the future. New York Sun.

ARMS OF CUBAN TROOPS
TO Be RETAINED BY AMERICAN AUTHOR
TIES IN MILITARY POSSESSION.
Havana is In a aFerment-Fresh Discontent
Caused by Recent Orders From Wash.
ington-Gomez MAzafesto Has Proven
Unsatisfactory.

Havana. is in a ferment
again over the idea that the Washing
ton administration has determined TO
take the arms of the Cuban troops and
to retain them in military possession.
This view of the latest news from
Washington has been telegraphed to
the various cities.
Gov Gen Brooke is thus far una
ware, save through the press kilograms,
of any dissatisfaction on the part of
Secretary Alger with his Brooke }
plan to have the arms deposited in the
care of the mayors of the municipali-
ties, nor has he received any other ink
ling of of the secretary's purpose to.lay
the matter before President Mckinley.
Consequently, unless instructions to
the contrary are received from the
Washington administration, the gov
ernor generals order respecting the dis
tribution of the So, 900, 900 as modified
will be issued Saturday.
sHavana's midday papers published
the Washington news, some of them
commenting editorialiy upon it, as the
point where the arms to pc kept ap-
pears to be thought of vital Importance
in Washington. The conviction an
nounced there that the mayors cannot
be trusted with them is a cause..of fresh
discomfort. just at the moment when
the various complications appeared to
be unravelled.
La Discussion says: Secretary AL
ger appears to wish to provoke con-
fict here He is more distinguished
in the United States as businessman
than as politician and his relations
with syndicates are we'll known. He
opposes everything that Cuba wants
and favors everything that would
cause feeling and provoke excitement.

What does he want?' Does he desire
war here similar to that in the Philip
pines? We are forced to believe that
he only approves that which is unsatis-
actory to Cuba.
Cubans of prominence say that such
an order as is referred to in the press
dispatches from Washington would
cause much trouble and would still
further separate Cuba from the United
States.
The manifesto of Gen. Gomez, issued
last week, is unsatisfactory to the mil
itary administration because its author
failed to disband the army. He had
been asked to include paragraph di-
recting the various commands to dis
solve, and had said he was in doubt as
10 whether he was authorized to dis
band the army, promising to reflect
upon the matter His attitude at the
Headquarters was quite different from
his previous bearing and it soon became
obvious that he wished to discontinue
giving any advice even on the subject
of the payment to the troops.

A Newspaper Correspondent Expects No
Result From the Peace Conference.
London. - The Daily Telegraph
correspondent at the Hague says:
'The Craftsmanship of the arbitration
section bas been offered to and accept
ed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, who with
the delegates of the United States and
several minor powers, will insist upon
a permanent court of arbitration,
which will be the great success of the
conference.
The correspondent of the Morning
Post at the Hague telegraphs as follows:
San eminent member of the peace
conference says it is simply an act of
politeness to the czar and will yield no
practical result, simply because it can
not. The powers, he asserts, are too
disunited and watch each other too
closely to arrive at any understanding
in their programme The prediction is
that there will be long discussion and
then a first class burial of the czar's S
proposals. .

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Baron De StaaI Presides and Deiteyrs q
Speech to the Delegates.


The Hague e-The second sitting OF
the peace conference took place Satur-
day morning..and lasted thirty five min
utes.
# The president of the conference, Ba-
ron De Staal, read the replies of the
3zar and Queen Wilhelmina to the tel
egrams sent to them by the conference
on Thursday
The president then addressed the
delegates on the subject of the labors be-
fore them, and it was decided net to

The president proposed the adoption
of arrangements for the committees
which was agreed TO without discus
sion. Baron De Staal further proposed
that, although the principle of secrecy
should be maintained, communications
might be made through the press bu-
reau, subject to the the approval Of the
president. This was also adoptd.
At the conclusion of the conference
NJ. De Staal, Sir Julian Pauncefete, the
British ambassador at Washington and
the head of the British delegation, and
the United States ambassador at Ber-
lin, Andrew D. White head Of the
American delegation, with several

premier of France and head of the
French delegation, and almost all the
second technical delegates, who form
part of committees, remained at the
'tHouse in the Woods, to draw up
certain lists They were occupied also
with the OF tzation of the commit
tees.
The pro ngs passed oft without
any incident Only the president spoke,
the others manifesting their approbs
ton by slight direct murmurs.
Several of the chief delegates arr
leaving the Hague for few days pend
ing the preliminary work of the com
mittees.
Baron De Staal, during the course o
the day, received the following dispatch
"The emperor begs you to be the IN
terpreter to the conference of his sin

DISARMAMENT MUST COME.
Leader OF German liberalism Talks OF
Universal Peace.

Universal Peace.
Berlin. The independence Beige
publishes an interview with Prof. Ru-
delphi Virchow, the leader of German
liberalism, on the subject of the peace
conference, in the course of which he is
represented as having said:
Disarmament is in the air. Sooner
or later it will be realized by all nations
under the law of development. The
programme of Emperor Nicholas Is
comprehensive and complicated but
the fact that the powers accepted his
call is significant enough.
e One factor in the situation is the
weakness of public opinion. Nations
are led astray by deceptive idea OF
glory and honor. The United States
have lately offered a pitiable example
of that A civilized land has been
plunged into war by the criminal agi-
tation of brainless demagogues and the
incapacity of rulers. The United States
have sinned against humanity and civ
lization.
'Let us hope that the American:
have at least recovered from their bout
of intoxication and will redeem the err
rors of their country. All this is an
illustration of the difficulties confront
ing the conference, but it will not
matter if success is finally attained.
The conference, believe, will deepen
the study of the peace problems and
the new century will be an age of real
enlightenment, civilization and peace.

Harrisburg Gen. William Ludlow
military governor of Havana, has writ
ten letter to lady in this city de-
scribing the relief work in Havana in
which he says:
"When we began distributed ra-
tions to nearly 10, 900 who were suffer,
ing from starvation, past or present,
and reduced to condition of helpless
ness which forbade them to do any
work. They were dying in the streets
and in the country districts in the most
pathetic way. By the issue of food
they have been enabled in part to dc
for themselves and others have been
provided for in various institutions, sc
that at present l am feeding about
5000, of whom about 1, 500 are aged
or invalids or very young children, re
ouiring convalescent food and the like.
AS the season advances, am enabled
by degrees to move the people out into
the country where they can sustain
themselves after fashion and ito pro
vide work for others, so that | hope to
make still greater diminuitions in the
number of those who are entirely depen-
dent. There will still remain, however,
a formidable residuem who cannot be
disposed of by any of these means and
must be supported outright and in par
ticular there are a large number OF
children whose future is a matter OF
grave concern.
