THE STRIKE AT READING, PA.
Probability That 1t VIII Extend to All
Departments.

READING. Pa, June 22-The strike OF
employees of the Reading railway shops,
which was begun yesterday noon. has not
spread to any Of the other departments in
this city. and they are working as usual
today.
Large numbers OF people gathered about
the car and machine shops last evening
for the purpose Of counting the number
OF men who had not gone out. At the for
mer place the crowd included many who
had quit work yesterday. and at the latter
some of the 1000 machinists frankly told
their friends that they were going out in
a day or two. About $50 of these are
union men, but the leaders say all the
men but a few laborers will go out when
they are asked, and that the request will
probably be made on Monday. The
mofders, who are 200 strong, went TO
work as usual today, but the men said
they were simply waiting for the car from
their national organization.
The number on strike in the company's
shops now is nearly 1000. Early next
week 1.500 men may go out In addition to
2,6O0 Reading Iron Company workers, who
went on strike several weeks ago and are
now locked out.

British Cabinet Leisurely Considering
the Nicarauguan Matter.
LORD PAUNCEFOTE In THE COUNCIL
No Disposition to Abrogate the
Clayton-BuIwer Treaty,
EXCEPT FOR QUID PRO QUO

LONDON, June 22.-In a tentative, easy
going sort OF way the cabinet has begun
to consider the Nicaragua treaty matter.
Lord Pauncefote has explained many
things to Lord Lansdowne the foreign Sec
retary, and the latter is once more grap-
pling the problem. 1t is needless 10 say
that the foreign office has no intention OF
hurrying, and In the course OF a month or
so II may come to decision. This will
take the form of instructions to Lord
Pauncefote, who will return to the United
States. These instructions will probably
not be officially communicated to the state
Department until Congress shall convene
or the attitude Of the Senate in the matter
shall be definitely known.
Lord Pauncefote will probably be per-
mttted to interpret his instructions pretty
broadly, and they show signs OF being
elastic enough to provide for any contin-
gency except direct refusal on the part OF
the Senate to recognize the validity of the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty. Lord Lansdowne
is as persistent as ever on this point and,
however willing he may be to abrogate IL.
he Will vigorously maintain the potentiality
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty until such
time as both signatories shall have agreed
to its abrogation.
Views of an Omcfal.
A high official, in the course Of conversa-
tion with representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press, said:
Americans seem to think we are trying
to delay the construction of the canal, but
this is entirely wrong. We are just as
anxious as are they to see Il completed.
and are willing to do almost anything to
further that end, but we do not want TO see
treaty we made In good faith torn up
like piece OF waste paper, and we still
consider that we entitled to some quid
pro quo for the REIMBURSEMENT of our
treaty rights"
recent special cable dispatch, ANNOUNCE
Ing that the Nicaragua matter had been
practically settled and that Lord Paunce-
fote, in consequence, would not return to
the United States, caused much amuse-
ment. 1t is utterly unfounded. On the
highest authority the Associated Press is
able to state that Lord Pauncefote will
remain ambassador to the United States
for the rest OF his days, or as long as he
cares to retain the position.

A BLACKSMITH'S STRANGE Elk
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. L. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been a great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. He was so bad that he could not
sleep for the great pain in his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was so much
worse, that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended n new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be a cure for rheumatism. He
commenced to use them and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is n well man to-day, and
entirely free from any symptom of
Rheumatism.
To say he is thankful, is putting it
very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve great
credit for having cured this very Sc
we're and almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheuma tism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after hav-
ing been given up by the best doctors.

ACTION UNSATISFACTORY.
Administration Objects to Modinca-

ment by Cuban Convention.

Washington, June lat very late
hour Friday night Secretary Root
cabled Governor General Wood at Ha-
vana, making these statements:
]. That the president and cabinet had de-
clined to accept the Cuban constitution.
2. That the declination applied specincal-
ly to all that part Of the instrument that
did not refer to the Plat amendments as
we'll as to the latter.
j. That the constitutional convention
must reassembe and after reconsidering
The vote by which the constitution was
passed adopt the Plat amendments In the
exact form they were passed by congress.
T. That continued delay in meeting the
terms fixed by congress simply means de-
lay In establishing the Cuban republic and
evacuation Of the island by United States
troops.
Washington, June 1.-The admins
tration has decided that the action
of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton in accepting the terms of the
Platt amendment Tuesday by the close
vote of Is to IA, with notifications and
interpretations of their own, was not
substantial" compliance with our
terms within the meaning of the
amendment and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the conven-
ton. The decision was reached at the
cabinet meeting Friday.
The three main points in which the
action of the Cuban constitutional
convention is regarded as unsatisfac-
tory relate, it is said, to coaling sta
tons, sanitation and intervention.
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Gu
ban convention upon the Cuban
amendment amounted to n practical
modification OF the Plat amendment
such as was beyond the power of this
government to accept. The message
of rejection sent to Gen. Wood advises
the Cubans in unqualified language
that there is no power resting in the
United States government to change
the terms of the Plat amendment and
that this government insists on the ac-
ceptance of the Platt amendment,
without amendment or qualification.

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
and His stock Growing Fat, lie
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where | saw a
man drop 20 malards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled. and
short drivo will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the < freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"a very short railway journey will
bring you to country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king OF
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
