CUBA MAY ACCEPT
Representative DOvenOr Confident
That Platt Amendment Will
be Agreed 10.

Washington March2l .-Representa-
tive Dovenor, of West Virginia, who
has just returned from Cuba, told
President Mckinley to-day that, in
his opinion, the Cubans would accept
the terms laid down in the Plat
amendment to the army appropriation
bill as conditions precedent to the re-
linquishment of the government
of the island into their hands. Mr..
Dovenor accompanied the members of
the house river and harbor COM
mittee to Havana, and said he had a
good opportunity to study the situa-
ton. He says the wealth and educa-
ton of the island favor acceptance of
our terms, but that political consi-
deration probably will delay the for
NAL acceptance for some time, In Mr..
Dovenor's opinion, definite action
will not be taken until congress con.
venes in December.

Clerk in Superintendent Nelson's Of
flee Comes Down With the
Disease.

Topeka, March 21.-A. V. Lindell,
bond clerk in State Superintendent
Nelson's Office, was taken down with
smallpox today and the employees
around the state house are greatly
wrought up. Mr., Lindell has been i'll
for several days, but has kept at work.
Within the past two days he has been
in nearly every Office fin the building
on business. Secretary Swan, of the
state board of health, was asked to-
day if he would quarantine the state
house. He said he didn't think it
would be necessary. as the rooms were
all large and airy and the germs
would not likely linger around long.
"Besides," said he, sit is said that
politicians and Office holders are i'm
mune from smallpox or any other
contagious disease, so there isn't much
danger"

GRAHAM PARD0NED
Governor has Released the Brave Ne
gro Convict

Topeka, March 2l.-Lloyd Graham
the negro convict who climed up the
air shaft at the prison mine and gave
Warden Tomlinson pointers that en-
abled him to effect a coup on the strik-
ing miners and rescue the imprisoned
guards, is to be rewarded Governor
Stanley announced tonight that tomor-
row he would commute Graham s
sentence and make him free man at
once. The governor returned this
evening from Lansing, where he has
been consulting with Warden Tomlin-
son all day. He is much gratified
over the termination of the trouble
and is profuse in his praise of the
warden and his men who broke up the
mutiny.
Fort Scott, Kas., March 2l.-Floyd
Graham, the negro whom Governor
Stanley will pardon for his great help
to Warden Temlinson in the mine riot
last Tuesday, was sent up from here
in 1892 for highway robbery, under
fifteen-year sentence. He would have
to serve till 1908, under the good be-
havior rules. His record is clean.
Graham was a young chap in 1892,
and was drifting about the country,
making a living as best he could. He
came here on train one day, hungry
and penniless. Stepping into shop,
he held up the proprietor, obtained
S1.l5, and bought food. He was cap
tured in Sedalia and brought back
here, where he was arraigned before
Judge West. He pleaded guilty to the
highway robbery charges preferred
against him, and though the amount
taken was small, the Judge assessed
fifteen years against him. The mini
mum was ten years. There had been
a good many holdups just about that
time, and someone was needed as an
example. Graham thus Jared badly.
1t has been learned that since his
admittance to the penitentiary Graham
has been a model convict. There have
been extremely fewmarks made against
him, and these are reported to have
been errors. He is regarded by the
prison officials as the most intelligent
and industrious negro in the place.
PARDON ISSUED TODAY.
BY scrpps-McRae Press Association.
Topeka, Kansas, March 22-The
pardon was issued today for Floyd
Graham, the negro convict whose feat
of climbing the 100 foot shaft and Civ
ing information casued the prompt

had six years to serve yet.

ruptcy, or whether they might not
prove a step in an evolution toward
socialism, Mr.. Carnegie said.

important as ever. Consultations
are the tendency of our age, and will
prove beneficial. The chances of An

Carnegie said no. He thought the
