they will not talk for publication until
after they have presented their re-
ports, which they will do shortly.
They have seen in private most of the
representative Cubans, and have Sc
cured their views and opinions, very
few of which have been published, IS
in most instances the consultations
have been regarded as confidential.
One interview has been given out,
that with General Monteaguedo and
Colonel Villuondas, who assured the
members of the commission that the
country was entirely free of bandits,
and cited the safety with which ped
ding Turks traversed all districts sell
ing trinkets, and also the fact that the
owner of sugar estate would no
longer hesitate TO drive alone with a
large sum of money to pay his en-
ployes. They assured the committee
that there was no agitation in the east
ern provinces and that desire for
annexation to the United States did
not exist in Cuba.
Senator Plat asked them whether
the Cubans would be disposed to pay
the bonds issued during the revolution.
They replied that they were ready to
pay those issued during the last rebel
lion, but not those issued in 1868. They
express the opinion that the bonds is
sued would not reach high total, ad-
ding that the Cuban government would
certainly pay the Cuban army.
In reply to Senator Platt's inquiry
as to whether the Cuhans would pay
the French bonds, they say that they
would not, as those bonds represented

A Prompt Call on Congress

- t0tHPA S2tt III @OU9FGSS
Mr.. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts intro.
duced the following in the House last week
when the Standard Oil Trust published its
last quarterly dividend.
1t is not likely that anything will be
done by this Trust-elected and Trust-con-
trolled Congress to relieve the people in the
least; but it is well that the Members,
with new elections facing them, be com
PEELED to smother flor they dare not kill
outright this plain measure of Justice to
the people = as that body has already
smothered those to stop the extortions of
the Sugar, Steel, Tin, Paper, Irvine and
other Trusts.
WHEREAS. 1t appears as a matter OF
public record that the Standard Oil Com
pany paid in the city of New York on
March Is, 1900, the sum of ST. 900 900,
this amount being an extra dividend, in
addition to the regular quarterly dividend
of 100000; and
WHEREAS, 1t is a matter of public
record that this last dividend is $4,000. 600
paid by this corporation; and,
WHEREAS, it is also matter of public
record that the price of kerosene oil, the
sole means of lighting used by the middle
and poorer classes of people during the
period of time between the declaration of
these dividends was increased three cents
per gallon, constituting tax on every
home in the land therefore, be it
ResO'ved, That in the opinion of Con-
gress this action Of the Standard Oil Com
pany is in direct violation of the provisions
of the Sherman Antitrust law, and there
fore punishable by fine and Imprisonment,
and the Attorney General is hereby di.
rected, in accordance with the provisions of
that act, to direct the several district at
torneys of the United States in their
respective districts to institute proper pro
ceedings to bring the aboYe-named viola
tors of law to justice.

session includes the state sewerage
commission, which will strive first for

the act for the protection Of the Pail

franchise tax on all corporations hav-
ing special municipal privileges, such
as trolley companies, telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light companies
Governor Voorhees, was behind the
franchise tax law, having advocated
it in his annual message. The Demo-
Gratis think it does not go far enough,
but the Republicans say that it has
everything to commend it as step in
the right direction.
The investigation into the Girls In
dustrial school was not completed, and
power was given to go on with the
work after adjournment, the final re-
port to be filed with the governor. The
legislature also passed an act suggest
ed by the committee for the govern
ment of the school. 1t makes some
corrections III the existing order of
things, but is not radical. The gov
ernor is empowered to appoint new
trustees, but he may reappoint some
or all of the present ineumbents. The
employees may be displaced also.
Nothing is said about Mrs. Eyler.
The codification of the school laws
was finally passed, but as variously
amended it makes little difference in
the old law. School boards are to con-
sist of ten members and may be elect
ed by the people OF appoiheeu ny Tue

yearly school census is continued as
the basis of appropriation for state
money.

The only bill designed particularly for

claim set up by the Board of Freeholders
several years ago and instituted through
Lawyer Swackhamer who was then its So
Iicitor. The claims amount to something
over seven Thousand dollars, and is really
for "back pay" the county not having put
in it's claim in time to save it from the
statute of limitations. The bill provides
that monthly allowance shall be paid
Notwithstanding any neglect in making
collections and that the omission to collect
shall not prejudice the right or Justice of
the claim before the court. The bill went
through both Houses all right, but got tied
up by objections by the Governor. Ex-
Speaker Watkins, Lawyer Swackhamer and
Senator Stranger finally persuaded the Gov
ernor, who consented to file it without his
signature.

Spain built up such an empire as the Re

passengers on the steamer Aller, which
arrived yesterday from Genoa, was
Webster Davis, assistant secretary of
the department of the interior Mr..
Davis repeated his previous denials
that his visit to the Boer republic was
of an official nature. He met Presi-
dent Kruger at Pretoria, and was
greatly impressed by the strength of
character of the chief executive of the
Boer republic. Mr.. Davis believes that
the Beers will be able to continue their
struggle against the British for a con-
siderable time, in spite of recent re-
verses. He had an opportunity of per-
sonally seeing the Boer troops in ac-
ton, and spoke highly of their sol
dierly qualities and courage.

The people are told that there is lots of
money in the country, yet the great pub
fishing house of D. Appleton & Co, with
assets Of over a million of dollars, unin-
numbered by any mortgage, has gone to

business like Appletons should be starved
to death in the midst of plenty (?) is one
of the inexplainable facts of the financial
animation.
