CUBAN FRANCHISE.
BE LIMITED TO THREE CLASSES
This, II IL Believed. VIII Result - the
Advantage of the People and the Re-
public,


Chicago, March PA special from
Washington to the Record says:
The principal obJe~t Of Secretary
Roots visit TO Cuba was to obtain In
formation and advice concerning the
election for municipal officials and pro-
v!ncial legislatures. which 1t ~ pro-
posed to hold early in May. As 1t will
be the first practical experiment OF
self government in Cuba, the Presi-
dent. Secretary Root and General
Wood are extremely anxious that 1t
shall be a success, and there are sew
eral important questions that must be
Immediately decided. There Is diner
cncc of opinion among the Cubans with
whom Secretary Root has consulted IA
To whether the vote shall be taken on
the first Of May, as has been expected,
M whether 1t should be postponed un-
I'll July. which Will give time to make
more careful preparations and allow
longer dcliberation upon certain points
that are in dispute.
Each of the six provinces IL 10 be al
lowed TO elect Il local Legislature. TO
enact laws for local government sub
jcct 10 the approval Of General Wood
and his council, and an effort IL being
made 10 induce the most Intelligent ana
responsible men to become candidates.
Thus far men OF property have been
reluctant about going into politics for
fear OF losing caste and suffering en-
barrassment, but Secretary Root is
very much encouraged since his recent
visit In this respect II Is practically
decided that General Woods recon-
mcndHtlons concerning the limitation or
suffrage VIII be adopted and that three
~. l..
ly. those who are on the pay rolls OF
the Cuban army and received the S'j
bounty from the United States, all who
can read and write. and all who can
show $50 in either real or personal
property.
General Wood thinks that under this
Limitation about 10000 voters will np-
pear at the polls. The population OF
Cuba is about 100000. and about one
In five are male adults OF voting age.
This makes n total OF about 10000
voters. There We're 10000 names on
the payrolls OF the Cuban army. which
being deducted leaves 10000 men TO
whom the educational and property
test must be applied. and II can not bc
expected that more than half OF them
Will endure either. The percentage Of
lllitsracy as disclosed by the recent cen
sIS will be larger than WIS generally
supposed. and not more than twenty
per cent. of the cntlr. Cuban popula
tlon can read and write.
General Wood argues strcnuously
against cheapcning the franchise. He
says that the Cubnns are all eager to
vote. and that the development of the
island can be promoted rapidly 10y Of
f.ring the ballot as n prize FOR oduca-
tIon, economy and thrift The coming
generation VIII seek the schools In or

Human science owes many q debt.
especially on the practical side, to the
instinct OF the lower animals. One OF
these obligations is intimated In q re-
cent scientific review OF the subjec, of
dams. Engineers frequently build
dams straight across streams. the OBJ
5ect being. in some cases. to save ex-
pense by sparlng material. But the
beaver arches his dam against the cur
rent. and experience has shown that
this form of dam Is best to resist noods
and the impact OF floating ice. Acting
upon the knowledge which is Instinc-
tive with the beaver. and which hu-
man calculation approves. the grea.
Bear Valley dam in California and
some other recently constructed dams
have been so made that their stability
largely depends upon the resistance
which their arehed form presents.

Frankfort, Ky. March T.-The most
thrilling event of the examining trial
Of Republican Secretary OF State Caleb
Powers occurred this afternoon, short
ly after three O'Clock. and for few
minutes 1t looked as though serious
trouble could not be prevented. Judge
George Denny, for the defendant, in
IN argument upon the competency Of
question, suid:
1T Is perfectly lawful for people to
come here and to come armed. came
here several times myself"
He was referring to the crowd that
was present ut the mass meeting held
In the state house yard just prior -
Governor Goebel's assassination.
Colonel Campbell for the prosecu-
tion. replied that he did not consider
1t lawful and was surprised to know
that MIR. Denny had come here armed.
Denny denied such n statement and
SAID he did not come armed. Campbell
Insisted that he had made the state
ment. Both men were much excited
ana spoke with vehemence, and with
arms shaking, commenced to advance
toward each other.
The court room was crowded and ~
audience evidently thought n fight was
on and made mad rush for the
doors and windows, people falling over
each other In their mad efforts to get
out of the room. Several policemen

promptly nrose and npologized 10

Denny replying In happy speech. On

fire on Saturday morning at about )
O'Clock. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the kitchen "a the fire

the house when the family awoke and
gave the alarm. The tamily, with the
assistance of the fremet, and others
who came, were able to save practi-
cally all of their furniture and clothing,
but the contents of the kitchen were
destroyed as the fire began there.
The firemen did magnificent work at
this fire and although the house was 3
frame building the fremen put out the
flames before they had burned the
front part of the house very badly.
The houses adjoining were in con-
siderable danger as they were quite
near, but the vigilance of the fire
companies prevented the fire from
spreading. The house, which was
owned by Bun Emerson, was formerly

was insured for $500, and Mr.. Nc
