TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Senator Jones Makes II stntem smt Regard

ing Instructions,
Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem.
ocratic national committee, made the
following statement Tuesday:
'Ihe instruct ous given TO the COM
mlssioners on the part of the United
states TO negotiate the treaty with
Spain in Paris in 1898 have never SO
far as | know, been mnde public. When
the treaty was before the Genute for
ratification there was great demand
that these instructions should be made
public. So great was the desire for
Information that many newspapers
published what was claimed to be in
side information about what these in
structions contained. But for some
reason, and doubtless not an unirn-
portant one, this desire was not graf
fled.
The president, in his letter OF ac-
ceptance, quoted a part OF these. as |
understand, secret instructions. | ad-
dressed him in note October 5th, call
ng his attention to this fact, an
requested that inasmuch as the part of
the instructions which he considered
favorable to the position of his polit-
zeal party was so used by him, the
remainder should be made public
"Conceiving that it was impossible
that the president ofthe United States
would use part Of secret document
Tor the advancement Of his personal
fortunes and the interests OF his own
political party, and at the same time
refuse to the public the remainder of
this document, l expected to have a
prompt answer from the president. l
have now waited for more than two
weeks and have not had the honor of
an acknowledgment even OF the re-
;iept OF my note"

EVACUATION 1f CUBA.
Unsie Sam VIII Control tho Island for some
Time.

The evacuation of Cuba by the Cnited
States is not likely to take place quite
SO soon as has been anticipated ia some
quarters. The withdrawal of the
American troops will not take place in
any event until some fern OF domestic
government has been established and
is not likely to be ordered bv the execu.
tive department of the government
without the authority of Congress.
The Cuban Constitutional conyen-
tion, which meets in Novemb Der. Is like
'y to be in session forseveral months
probably much longer than after the
adjournment of the coming session of
congress on March 4, 1901. The new
Congress to be elected November 9th,
next, will not meet in any regular ses-
sion until December, 1901, and will
hardly do any important business until
the spring of 1902. BY that time rep.
resentatives of the new Cuban republic

appropriate committees of Congress
that they have government complete-

American railroads carry in a year
the great total Of 1000, 100000 tons o.
freight. 1t is a common belief that
the chief freight of American rail-
roads is grain. and that the earnings
of the various roads are dependent
largely upon the harvests of cereals.
Indirectly this is true. for large harv-
ests at remuneratlve prices mean
money to farmers for other articles
which railroads transport. but. actual
ly, the profits made by railroads from
the transportation of grain are less
than from other articles of freight
Last year the American railroads
transported 60,0G00 eco tons of grain of
all kinds-wheat, corn, rye, barley and
bucltwheat-while the transportation
of anthracite or hard coal was 95, 5,000,-
600, or 80 per cent more than that of
III the grains collectively. Coal,
which is the easiest and least ex-
pensiye item of freight to handle, fur
