One ~ lhe projects which VIM see<
national ia next winter Will BE- ! ship
canal from the lakes through the State
OF. New York to furnish direct water
transportation from the Northwest to
Europe for the immense of volume Of
crops, which now must be transferred at
the seaboard.
1t is not q new scheme. but 1t will
have new and strong backing in the
next Congress. In the last New York
Legislature a bill was defeated provil-
ing for a barge canal for this purpose
SO the shipping interests in the North
west will try to pursuade the United
States government to secure control Of
the New York State canals or Of enough
of them to construct ship canal.
Surveys have proven it's feasibility
and the project will doubtless be
pushed at the next session by the COM
bined delegations from Indiana, Illi-
nois, Minnesota, Iowa and probably
both Dakotas.
The project would cost in the neigh
borhood of 5000, 100000 OF course the
$270,000,0 600 ship subsidy scheme has
not been abandoned, but will bob up
serenely next December. This will
make more than half billion dollars
in two items which Uncle Sam will be
asked to shell out in the Fifty-seventh
Congxess. And there are others

FOR GOOD ROADS.

Kentucky has just held good roads
convention, which seems to have been
q pronounced success, Notwithstanding
the torridity of the weather. Like
West Virginia, Kentucky has been af-
hicted with bride paths and mud abom-
nations which have passed for high
ways, and has finally awakened as all
states must sooner or later, to the ne
cessity OF permanent betterment of
roadways. The farmer is the one i'm
mediately interested in this movement
and unless he actively manifests this
interest little can be accomplished.
Kentucky farmers appear to have real
lied this and the farming community
predominated in the convention. which
was held at Louisville.

occasionally some peculiar financier-
ing comes to light. Here is an ex-
ample. The day before the Seventh
National Bank closed its doors,
and few minutes before the end of
the business day, a representative of
Marquand & Co. called at the bank and
asked for a loan OF $500, 900. 'eYou
can't have it, said the manase But

where else" There was conference
and a scheme was concocted, best told
In this New York telegram: "The sum
OF 100000, instead of the $500 900
asked for, was placed to the credit of
the firm, so it is said, and early the
next morning three checks for 500. 900
each were presented at the bank for
certihcatlon. With the checks ex-
change was bought and turned back
into the bank in cancellation of half
the loan- The bills of exchange bought
with the certified checks were passed
over to the Clearing House in settle
ment OF the days debit balance and the
checks used in the transaction went
into the next days business. BY that
time the bank had called in money on
some OF its outstanding loans and was

presented. The distressed firm was al
so provided with sufficient money to
noat through a few days more. The

CUB RELATIONS WITH CUBA
Constitutional Convention Discusses Tha
Question of Importance.

Havana, Feb. 1S.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention held secret ses-
sion lasting several hours Saturday aft
ernOon, considering the question of the
future relations between the United
States and the republic of Cuba. The
commission which met Governor Cen
eral Wood at Batabano offered no for
NAL report. but asked that the matter
be considered in committee of the
whole. A majority of the delegates
opposed the granting to the United
States of the right to maintain naval
stations iii Cuba, and a large number
favored leaving the relations between
the United States and Cuba for the
future republic to settle.
The right of the United States to
intervene at any time for the preServa-
tion of peace was also the subject of n
strong discussion. The questions of
regulating loans and the foreign rela-
tions developed no opposition. Senor
Gfberga presented a formulation of the
relations adopted by the Democratic
party al meeting Friday night, al
lowing the United States to intervene
with reference to all loans and treaties.
for the preservation of peace, to keep
an army here if necessary. and to
maintain naval stations; and providing
furthermore that if these concessions
are not satisfactory the United States
may draw up others that are Senior
Giberga said that such relations were
advocated by every property holder
and pleaded with the delegates not to
be led by political sentiment where
the welfare of the island is at stake.
No vote was taken and a further
discussion will be had today. One of
the delegates, in the course of an inter-
view said that fhn Ia
never agree to allow the United States
TO establish and maintain naval sta
ticns. as the people look upon this con-
cession as unpatriotic and a practical
giving up of their independence. The
only way the United States can obtain
this right. the delegate said, would be
by insisting upon the concession, the
responsibility for making which the
convention does not want to take.

ANoTHER SORT OF NATION
But 1t Goes Violently About What L
Wants to Accomplish,

Nashville. Ills, Feb. 1S.-A state of
terror exists among the members of
the Polish colony in BOlo, south of this
city, and the protection of the county
authorities has been asked by d num-
ber of prominent Poles because of
threats of violence which have been
made by American Nationite farmers
living among the Poles. Last Thurs
day evening Mike Welt. Pole. and
his wife, Augusta Welt, were given
n few hours to leave the settlement
because of their alleged inhuman treat
ment of Anna Welt, their daughter,
an 1S-year-eld girl. who was driven
insane and sent to the asylum at Anna
because of the alleged beatings given
her by her parents since her childhood.
Welt and his wife refused to leave,
and a number of Poles volunteered to
give the Nationites trouble if they at
tempted to punish Welt as they threat
ened. Special deputy sheriffs have
been placed at Bolo to prevent trouble.

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 1S.-The acci-
dent to one of the 13-inch guns on the
battleship Kearsage, while she was

to be of trivial nature. No damage
was done to the gun except to the
rifiing. a premature discharge of one
of the shells was the cause.
