Little Chaps
Suits

Scar cely day passes that some
mother doesn't tell Us of the per-
feet satisfaction given by the
suit we sold her boy last season.
Our boys clothes make happy
boys and happy mothers; happy
boys because they can follow the
bent of all healthy youngsters
and run and jump and tumble and
make the air hideous for the
whole neighborhood with their
rough and noisy sports without
fear of being scolded for ripping
and tearing their clothes. Happy
mothers, because they do not
have to stitch, stitch aud stitch
every night from weeks end to
weeks end to keep their boys
presentable.
Here's a suit for little chaps
from 8 to 8 that's Gust too cute
for anything" It's made from
real Heather Cheviot in the new
"carmenite gray The little
roundabout jacket has a Byron
collar and satin faced lapels; the
vestee has satin plastron of the
new shade edged with soutache
braid, and the narrow legged wee
trousers are trimmed at the bot
tom with a satin bow and gold
plated buckle. We price 1t low,
for quick selling, at 81.

Cubans are greatly incensed over the
action of the Unulted States govern
ment In making the Bank OF Spain finan,
cial agent OF the United States for the
collection OF taxes, as under Spanish
mlsrule
No greater offense could have been
given to the Cubans than this. The Bank
of Spain was the instrument used for
years to wrest unjust taxes from them.
II is the most unpopular institution on
the island. and the administration could
hardly have done anything else that
would have gone so far to convince the
Cubans of its inslneerity as the choice
OF this bank as Its financial agent
Twenty-one postal clerks have arrived,
reporting to Postmaster General of Cuba
Rathbone. Ten will remain here to clear
up affairs in the Havana office. The
others will be scattered throughout the
island, and the prediction Is made that
another fortnight viii see the postal af-
fairs here In as good a condition as in

NEW YORK. Jan. "a dispatch TO

Reporters have interviewed most OF the

Tho trcatieu do not justify tho French
carrying on lobster packing, our case
does no, uopOnd on tho distinction be-
tween cruStaoca and lah. Tho question
Of tho sovereignty Of tho soil Ia involved.
The treaties code the French the right
to catch fish and dry them on the land,
aa In i1lS The treaty OF that year said
tho French should not erect any building
besides stages made OF boards and the
hutH necessary for the usual drying OF
fish The declaration OF the treaty OF
Versailles. In iS1a said the French
should build only their scafolds, by
which was meant ilsh flakes for drying
purposes.

namcnt buildings ana factories on the

attached to tho soil, not to the fishery

whatever In such treaties they should be
rlgIdly enforced, Their fishing stations
on tho treaty coast do not exceed seven
and none are profitable, apart from tho

Newfoundland denies the French the
right To tako bait from treaty shore for

sustained by the British government the

French II the French can arrange with
the colony for bait for bank fishing, Mr..
Morino thinks thcy would probably aban-
don tho treaty shore This cannot bo
done without an Arrangement regarding
tho French fish bounties,
ION tho bait and bountes the whole
question hangs, Tho colony would be
ratified IL tho British government rigldly
enforces the treaties as Newfoundland
contends they should bo construed"
Tho Hon. A. w. Harvey, a prominent
business man, also ono OF the delegates
OF the lo-F'rench shore question, says;
"If any negotiations be entered into for
tho rellnduishment Of the French privll-
egcs, compensation should be based on
the values of the privileges to tho French,
not the prospective value OF an unfet-
tered treaty coast to British subjects"
