ences That the treaty actually has been taken
UP gives promise that an answer one way or
the other will be speedily forthcoming. and that
there will be no long delay over the negotiations
The fact that the treaty is being actively
considered in London naturally has excited
much speculation as to the final outcome but
the State Department is unable TO confirm any
Of the rumors to probable acceptance. There
Is a prevailing feeling, however, unoffcially ex-
pressed by those who have followed the course
or affairs, that the indications favorable to
acceptance. 1t was pointed out by an official
that If rejection was contemplated 1t probably
would have been made at once. whereas the
delay of about two weeks since the amended
treaty reached the London Foreign Office gave
evidence that there was desire on the part Of
ofcials there to consider the matter with much
dehberatfon in the hope of bringing the two

MARSHAL FORCED TO RESIGN.
SAID TO HAVE OFFERED A BRIBE TO A
JUDGE IN ALASKA

Washington, Jan. II speciaD.-The appoint
ment of F. K. Richards. of Washington. as
United States Marshal for Alaska, in place of
c. L. Vawter, of Montana, covers a rather sensa-
tonal story. Vawter was appointed about
year ago, on the recomme ndation of Senator
Carter. From aff1davits filed in the office of the
Attorney-General 1t appears that last summer
he called on Judge Noyes of the United States
District Court, at Nome, and said that friends
had authorized him to offer Noyes $4,000 in
gold dust as a consideration for the removal of
Alexander Mckenzie, who had been appointed
receiver Of certain mining properties that were
then in dispute and in charge of the court
Judge Noyes called in the District Attorney and
o K Wheeler. OF Minneapolis his private secre-
tary. and required Vawter TO repeat his PROPOSE
ton in their presence. Vawter attempted to
crawl out of the scrape, but finally agreed to
place his resignation United States Marshal
in the hands Of Judge Noyes II the latter would
let the matter drop. Judge Noyes agreed to do
so, and forwarded the resignation by mail TO
Senator Carter. whose recommendation Vaw-
ter had been appointed. with q detailed eXplana-
ton of the circumstances. Senator Carter held
back the resignation until he was prepared TO
recommend a successor, and then filed It with
the Acknowledgement.

CUBA WANTS DUTIES MODIFIED
A PLEA FOR FREER ACCESS TO THE GREAT
AMERICAN MARKET

Havana. Jan. 1.-THE agricultural interests in
Cuba uniting in an effort to have the United
States Government make a modification of the
duties sugar and tobacco. Nothing since the
occupation of the island by the United States

Meetings have been held in every province. and
Governor General Wood Is besieged with petit
tons asking that something be done at least to
put Cuba upon equal footing with other ma
tions with which the United States is making
reciprocity treaties covering sugar and tobacco
Sehor Lacoste Secretary of Agriculture and
president Of the Planters Association has writ
ten letter 10 the Governor General calling at
tenton to the promises made 70 the association
by the Secretary OF War of a modification of
the duties, and the fact that. in spite of this
reciprocity treaties have been entered into with
other producing nations which place Cuba at
disadvantage. Cuba. Senior Lacoste says. bought
goods worth S3SOOOOO0 from the United States
in 1894 During the war the amount decreased
but reached S35 600 600 in 1S99-'O0 Cuba. he
asserts. buys from the United States fifteen
times more than San Domingo. sixteen times
more than Nicaragua and thirty times more
than San Salvador. AS for the reason urged for
denying Cuba the same privileges as are en-
toyed by other nations-that she has not the
legal Character necessary to esta bish reciprocity
relations. and that treaties record only contracts
between nations-this condition is already filled
in great part. as on May 81 the United States
ordered the present tariff enforced.
Sehor Lacoste asserts that. although all na-
lions are put upon an equal footing. the United
States has been benefited, owing to the proxim-
ity OF Cuba, and the fact that on potatoes,
-four and cotton goods-to the practical exclu-
sion Of all other countries-Cuba has opened her
market 10 American products. but has received
nothing in return. He urges the abolition of
the export duty tobacco unjust tax
which prohibits the exportation Of the lower
grades Of tobacco.

THE sOUTHBOUND RECEIvERsHIp
Does not Effect the Seaboard Air Lines
Contro of the Road

Richmond. Va, June 6.-Mr. John
Shelton Williams. president of the Sea-
board Air Line. gave out the following
today:
the statement which appeared in
me morning papers concerning a re-
ceiver for the Southbound railroad is
misleading. The whole controversy
arose over a $500 personal injury case
which the Sourhbound railroad dis
putes. and has appealed.
The judge of he state court who
granted the order distinctly states that
his order cannot affect the plan for the
consolidation of the Southbound with
the Seaboard Air Line railroad, or the
lease of the Southbound to the Florida
Central n PtninSular railroad or the
Seaboard Air Line railroad. and the re-
ceiver is only authorized to take charge
OF any of h property of the South
bound railroad which is not covered by
the lease
LAS all of the property of the South
bound is leased the receivers hands
are empty and he has no duties to per-
form. The order does not in n way
effect the operation or control of the
Southbound railroad, which is being
operated and will continue to be opera
ted as heretofore"
