TRIP A SUCCESS.

Steamer Northman From Chicago Ar
rives Safely at Hamburg.
New York, June 4.-The cable an
nounces the arrival of the steamer
Northman at Hamburg from Chicago,
after a passage of 35 days, of which
10 days had been occupied traversing
the Great Lakes and canals before
leaving Quebec for the ocean voyage.
The Northman is the first steamer In
the new Chicago-Hamburg service to
cxoss the ocean and her voyage has
been watched with interest as a test
of the probable success Of the under
taking. She was preceded by the
Northwestern, a sister ship, but that
vessel was detained by a mishap and
lost the honor Of being the ship to
make the first voyage in the new serv-
ice. The Northman. which is steam.
er Of 1.496 tons net, sailed from CHI
cago with general cargo. The
scheme of going through the canals
was to give the vessel the maximum
cargo to Buffalo, there partially ur.
load and then, after passing through
the canals, reload at Montreal. The
round trip is expected to take go days.

The decision of the cabinet was an
nounced after the cabinet meeting In
the following statement issued by Sec
retary Cortelyou:
"The president has determined that
existing conditions do not require or
warrant calling together during the
present summer or making any
change in the policy hitherto pursued
and announced in regard to the Phil
ippine islands"
It can be authoritatively stated that
the Dingley rates upon goods from the
Philippines entering the United States
will remain in force as heretofore.
The president will put into effect such
changes in the tariff duties on goods
going into the Philippines as the Taft
commission may recommend. The es-
tablishment of civil government In
the archipelago can proceed without
interruption as soon as the military
authorities consider the time ripe for
its establishment.

Cuban People Generally Are Satisfied

Cuban People Generally Are Satisfied
With the Plat Amendment.
Washington, June 5.-Inside infor:
nation concerning the action of the
Cuban convention of the Platt amend
ment has just been received in Wash
ingtOn. 1t appears that the first draft
of the amendment as interpreted by
the majority of the committee on re-
lations with the United States, was
submitted to General Wood and by
him sent to Washington. This draft
was approved by Secretary Root and
his approval was made known to the
Cuban convention. When the matter
came up for discussion, however, it
was found that there were a number
of delegates whose votes could only
be obtained by the extended altera-
tions, amendments and interpretations
which finally were adopted by the
convention and rejected by Secretary
Root.
It is stated officially that the peo-
pie of Cuba believed at first that the
Platt amendment had been adopted
and that they were satisfied. Such
was the belief of the people of the
United States until the draft of the
adopted amendment was received
here. The belief is expressed in Off
cial circles here that the Cuban peo'
pie as a whole are perfectly satisfied
with the Plat amendment and that 1t
will finally be adopted.

FAVORED NATION CLAUSE.
Administration Will Ask Reasonable
Safeguards From China.

Administration Will Ask Reasonable
Safeguards From China.
New York, June 5.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Concessions granted by China to
other nations in treaties to be nego-
tiated as the concluding chapter of
the Chinese crisis will be enjoyed by
the United States under the most
favored nation clause" to be inserted
in the convention this government
will present for signature. 1mme'
diately upon the settlement of the In
demnity question the revision OF
treaties will be considered. 1t Is prac-
tically certain that the powers Will
not be willing to negotiate a single
treaty with China, though identical
treaties may be drawn up. Officials
OF the administration believe that the
powers will prefer to negotiate sep
arate treaties. II this is done, differ
ent concessions will be demanded.
This government proposes to demand
reasonable safeguards for American
interests but, in order to insure that
the United States may not suffer in
consequence of the advantages OBJ
tanned by other governments, a clause
will be inserted providing that any
concessions granted to other nations
will be enjoyed by the United States.

SsERIoUs TROUBLE FEARED.

Arapahoe Indians in Wyoming Are
s Arming Themselves.
Cheyenne, wy, June 5.-A telegram
from Fort Washakie, says the Arap-
ahoe Indians who recently defied the
Indian agent are arming.
An unknown sheep herder was shot
down by the Indians 40 miles north Of
Fort Washakie. No details of the
killing have been learned. It is
feared serious trouble will follow any
attempt upon the part Of the author
tiles to arrest the murderers of the
harder and that the threatened out
break can only be averted by govern
ment troops. Settlers in the Lander
valley are arming and many families
are moving to the towns.

side-wheel passenger steamers, City

whistles and bells sounded as the
two racers steamed up to the stake

matched. The Erie is 324 feet over
all and Is feet beam, against the
Tashmoo's 800 feet length and 70 feet
width. The Erie was built to make
fast schedules between Cleveland and
Buffalo under all conditions and has
twice the power of her rival. The
Tashmoo was made for river work,

tapering PROV. #<
Just before the boats started the
wind veered around to the north and
the racers had 7-mile breeze against
their quarter bows. When the starter
gave the signal, the steamers were al
