RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.

The country viii regard with the most
unqualified approval the execution of the
policy attributed to President Roosevelt
Of the negotiation of commercial treaty
with Cuba which will admit free to the
ports Of the United States the staple
products of the island in return for the
admission of specified manufactured
products of the United States. Such an
agreement will be in entire consonance
with the high-minded policy of the Amer
lean people pursued toward the Cubans
from the beginning.
1t is not in the nature of such mind
as that of the new president to offer his
sanction to any course on the part of the
national government over which he pre-
sides which might give even color to the
claim that the Cubans have had any CO.
srcive force brought to bear on them to
pursue any political course which would
not be adopted voluntarily by them.
There is a large class of Republican ed
tors and politicians which has urged the
refusal to negotiote such a treaty as one
way of bringing the Cuban mind to an
understanding of the truth that the onlv
salvation of the country, socially as well
as politically. Hes in the direction of an
nexatfon.
The refusal to negotiate such treaty
win inevitably be regarded by intelligent
Cubans as having such purpose behind
it or course there is no moral ohliga-
ten resting on this people to extend such
treaty provision to the Cubans; but there
is grave existing commercial obligation
to do so. An enlarged market for GER

admission of such products from Cuba

SHAMROCK H.s HoODooED.
Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn Eagle.
A yachting enthusiast, who is also
something of a student of history, as
sertS that Sir Thomas Upton put hoo
doc on his cup challenger when he named
it Shamrock II. Men who are identified
with nautical affairs in almost any ca
pacity are proverbiaIyi superstitious, but
in this case it Is certainly Interesting to
note the facts that he brings forward to
support his assertion.
Shamrock H. will not win,'' he said
recently. mo. IL ever had any luck
and I am not at all surprised that Sham
rock II has had innumerable accidents
and has even put the life of King Ed
ward in jeopardy. Just pick up your his
tory and see what has happened to the
II. 81 since the beginning of time. Take
English kings, for instance. William Ii.
met with an untimely death; Henry LII
had a troubled reign and rebellious sons
and died of broken heart; Edward Ii.
was defeated by the Scots under Robert
Bruce, was deposed and then cruelty
murdered; Richard II. died mysteriously;
presumably being murdered in prison;
Charles II. was for long time in exile
and led a, wandering and dangerous life;
James H. made a poor and cowardly fight
for his throne and died in exile, and
George II. was forced to fight to retain
his crown and had life filled with
troubles. 1T mas Deen the same III otHeF
countries, too.
"AImost without exception the lis
have been unfortunate. Pope Alexander
H. was forced to see an antelope oc-
cupy Peters chair; Alexander II. of Rus
STA was assassinated by the nihifists, and
Louis IL of Bavaria became insane and
committed suicide BY drowning. There
are many other instances to bear out
my contention if you care to look them
up, and you will find that many race
horse owners have the same idea. DC
casionally a horses gets the H. added
to it's name, but Jan owner seldom tries
the experiment asseconA time. So l look
to see Shamrock III. aefeated in the
America cup races.
Still, one can'tS help recalling that
Shamrock l. also was defeated and that
many monarchs who did not have IL
attached to thein names had their full
share of troubles Bntsto superstitious
man that is of small Importance.

disposition of the criminal. Had Czolgosz
set up the plea of insanity, as did the
counsel for Guiteau, the trial would
have drawn out it's weary length from
weeks to months. The following con-
clusions from the Tribune, unfortunately
are also off, and are not warranted by
the facts:
THE progress and the result of the
Coigosz trial bear out the Tribune's con-

TBL4L OF CzOEGoSz.

The country is to be congratulated upon
the speedy conviction of the assassin,
Czolgosz. We say conviction. for trial
there was none. The time taken to adj
duce the evidence of his guilt was use
lessly spent, as the prisoner was ready
and anxious to plead guilty. The at
tcrneys for the defense We're prevented
from making a fight for their client by
the refusal of the prisoner to give them
auy ground on which to gain a stand
iar before the jury. There being no OBJ
ieeJions 10 the jurors, no time was wasted
in securing a panel All that was neces-
sary under the plea of not guilty which
the court insisted upon entering, was
the production of the evidence of the
murder and the formality Of receiving
tae verdict. Today he will be SEN
fenced and then will come the last act,
upon which the curtain will fall and the
great tragedy which has held the stage
OF the world for three weeks will come
to an end. The law of nature prevails
life for life Society will be avenged.
The tragedy will have immortalized two
names-one in fame, the other in in
fanny.
In the annals of crime, this act of the
man Czolgosz is most strange. In all
probability he acted alone; at least no
trace OF an immediate confederate or con-
federates can be found Whether he was
actuated by sense of duty bred by the
school of anarchy of which he was a
follower, or whether a desire for no.
toriety led him to the act, may never be
known The revealed facts, so far. point
to the former theory The fact that he
f has remained silent and refused to enter
a defense for his act indicates that de-
Sire to play the heroic is subordinate in
his makeup. Neither Booth nor Guiteau
forgot the public for a moment from the
time the thought of assassination became
fixed in their minds, until death put an
end to their careers. This seems not to
be the case with Czolgosz.
Had he desired more notoriety he could
have forced upon the authorities a long
and sensational trial; the very thing
which society, for its own protection. is
Interested in avoiding. The criminol-
9gists have in CEolgosz a new type, and
a dangerous one. He is evidently not in
sane. but, like Mrs. Nation and Dowie,
became imbued with an unwarranted idea
the idea that he had duty to perform
The most dangerous of all human ami
mails are those who are slaves to what
they see fit to imagine their duty.
We presume the execution of the as
sassin will follow close upon the sentence
of the court. The sooner the better. So
far the proceeding has not been char
acterized by act or incident which would
afford the assassin an opportunity to pose
as martyr to a cause even had he shown
such disposition. The wholesale arrest

THE TRANsPAoIFTc CABLE.

1t goes without saying that the enter
prise of the Commercial Cable company
looking to the establishment of cable
communication with Hawaii and the
Philippines is a most necessary and COM
mendable undertaking. One of the main
requirements, public as well as CONNER
cial, to the satisfactory and expeditions
transaction of business with our new
possessions, is that direct telegraphic
communication should be at once estab-
lished. The fact that Mr.. Maekay and
his interests are involved in the estab-
lished of the new cable leaves no doubt
whatever that 1t will be carried out to
successful conclusion.
1t is not easily understood why the
American government will place de-
tendance on any private corporation for
the fuldllment of its prime requirement
of establishing direct connection with
the places mentioned. Congress should
have made provision for the establish
ment of a government telegraph line.
The fact that the Mackay interests have
engaged themselves in the undertaking
at this time will no doubt operate to dis
pense with the conviction that the United
States should forthwith establish such
| connection. But the duty of the gov
eminent toward the people remains, not
withstanding, undischarged as long as no
line exists under the absolute control OF

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Dear
Schley" letter is dated Key West, Fla,
May 90 1898. Referring to telegram
form the navy department received by
Sampson advising the latter to send word
to Schley to proceed to Santiago, the
letter says:
After duly considering this telegram
have decided to make no change in
the prese mt plans; that is. that you should
hold your. squadron off Cienfuegos. If
the Spanish ships have put into Santiago
they must come out either to Havana or
Cienfuegos to deliver the munitions of
war which they are said to bring for
use in Cuba
81 am. therefore. of the opinion that
our best chance of success in capturing
their ships will be TO hold the two points.
Cienfuegos and Havana, with all the
force we can muster. If later it should
develop that these vessels are at. San
tiago, we could then assemble off that
port the ships best suited for the pur-
pose and completely blockade it. Until
we then receive positive information we
shall continue to hold Havana and SAM
