the appointment Of commission Of the
Constitutional Convention to draw up a
treaty defining relations with the United
Rotary Root regarding the attitude of the
Cubans on the question of relations are
not in accord with press dispatches from

anything alarming in the situation and is
fully convinced that the convention will
adopt such relations as will accord with
the policy OF the United States, an
nOunced in the amendment to the Army
Appropriation bill.
General Wood reports that he had a
conference with Senior Capote and ex-
planned to him that the action of Con-
gress did not permit the President to &C
cept any compromise arrangement. Gen
eral Wood has not yet transmitted TO the

Samuel w Stratton. of Illinois. was yes
terday appointed by the President TO be
Director of the National Bureau of Stand
ards, which was established by the terms
of bill which passed Congress during the
closing hours of the last session The
measure is designed to be of benefit to the
manufacturers of scientific instruments.
The United States has been the only
great nation without governmental bu-
reau of standards. and the domestic
manufacturers of physical. astronomical.
chemical and other scientific apparatus,
while successfully competing with the
foreign products in workmanship and
design. have been placed at great dis
advantage for lack of a recognized
standard of measurement. 1t has been
found necessary to ship great quantities
of such Instruments to Germany for the
verifcation of their standard, and quota
lions for certain apparatus are almost
invariably furnished accompanied with
the proviso that their measurements
shall be tested by comparison with the
standards of a named foreign country.
