is no requirement that single bale

with all OF their advantages, can be
bought IN open competition by any

learned, in charge OF the interests of the

Of protecting its property against en-

that these men have been drilled in the

II seems improbable now that the Cuban
Constitutional Convention will be able to
prepare a constrLt'on. acceptable to this

ADMINISTRATION, therefore, is reported TO
have settled down 10 the prospect OF Mill
tary occupation Of Cuba. certainly until
next autumn and possibly longer.
We do not hear much Of Cuban opinion
on the subject of our future relations with
the proposed republic, no doubt because,

to achieve local independence; but they
probably will before another month rolls

Cuba will be compelled TO accept Ameri-

manded by the girls is not considered at

taken the highest wages in each depart
ment of all the mills in the city ami made
that the basis of the scale.
The girls point out that the average in
crease will amount TO about 26 per cent.
All beginners under their scale will re-
ceive - per week at The beginning but
it will take two years lohbsr to reac,. the
maximum wages than under the old scalt
The owners say the paying OF this scale
would mean ruination, ami threaten to

PLANS TO HOUSE THE POOR.
New Workers to Appeal for Phil
nnthrOpic Legislation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The question OF
housing the poor is Just now occupying
the attention of many cities both in the
United States and England. The League
for Social Service, 105 East Twenty-second
Street. of which Dr. Josiah Strong is
president and DR.. William H Tolman is
secretary. is taking active interest in this
work.
A petition signed by prominent men of
this city is about to be presented to the
Legislature, urging that body to enact
legislation which will result in acquiring
one block of ground on the East Side of
New York. to demonstrate the feasibility
of building model houses for the people
The block of buildings, it is proposed,
shall be owned by the city and rented at
prices which will pay the legal rate of
interest on the investment and the cost
of keeping the homes in frst-class condi-
ton. The plans embodied in the petition
are as follows: The plans for such homes
to include the block as a whole; the
buildings to be freproof. with every
modern Improvement that can be advan-
tageously used, and the city to be forever
debarred from renting any such property
for the purpose of selling intoxicating
liquors therein.
These recommendations are made in the
belief that they will furnish homes for
the people who otherwise would never
have them; furnish employment for me-
chanics. laborers. and tradesmen. and
thereby benefit the whole community. and
do away with the present unsanitary tene-
ment houses. which are a menace to life
and health.
Among the names OF the signers 20 this
petition are the Rev. r. Heber Newton,
the Rev. Madison C. Peters, Rufus W.
Weeks. J. G. Phelps Stokes. DR.. Josiah
Strong. Miss Younger of the College Set
Element; the Journeymen Marble Cutters

In connection with the housing OF The
poor. the building of public lighthouses by
to give free baths to the
poor is also being agitated. Buffalo is IN
advance of many cities in the United
States in this field. The second CT the
public lighthouses maintained by Buffalo
was opened TO the public on January 2.
This bathhouse. including the site. build
ing and equipment. cost $4,000 1t pro-
vides twenty baths. and has two

BACK FROM CAPE NOME.
A Returned Miner Talks of the New
Gold Country.

the first arrival from Cape Nome since
the close Of navigation last fall. He is
w w. Ames, a miner, who owns a prom
Using property on Anvil Creek. He came
up over the lower Yukon with dog team.
and after remaining few days in Dawson
pushed on to the coast. On his way out
from Dawson he was told of the STAN
pede to Big Salmon River, and he rushed
in there and staked a claim on the snow,
not knowing what kind of gray ell he had
underneath. He is. however. confident
that the unseen claim will prove rich. for
miners were working a claim adjoining,
and Ames said they had a coal oil can full
OF nuggets, some of which were worth at
least $50. and 1t had not taken them long
to fill the can. He says a large number of
stampeders were on the way to the Big
Salmon.
On his way up from Nome he found
many stampeders going into the district
at the head of the Kuskokwin, but he
heard so many conflicting stories that he
could not tell whether a strike had been
made there or not. He says it is almost
certain that number of those going In
thore are SO poorly equipped that many
will never be heard from, for starvation
and privation will take them off. A num-
Der of people were rushing to the Tanana
River, but he heard that the find there
was not very rich. There was little food
in that district, and not much at Circle
City. the point of supply.
AT Nome, which city he left late in De-
cember and from which he brings the first
word since the ice formed. there was suf-
fcient food and fuel, he thought. to last
until navigation opened, but the prices
were sky-high, -four selling for SIC a sack
and everything else in proportion. The

FRENCH TREATY INVOLVED.
New York Appraisers Render IA De-
cision on Imported Merchandise.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The Board of
classification of the United States Cen
eraI Appraisers yesterday announced
decision which bears on the reciprocity
treaty with France.
The merchandise in question consisted
Of cordals imported prior TO the time the
treaty went into effect 1t was assessed
at the regular rate. s2.25 a gallon, but the
duty was not paid at the time, the goods
being put in bond. Under the reciprocity
agreement. which went into effect on
June l. 1898, the duty would have been
only S1.75. All the entries had been liqui-
dated before June l. 1898, however, and
no protest had been made within ten days
of the date of such liquidation, as re-
quired by customs regulations. Suisse
quently the collector refused to reliqui-
date the entries.
The board, in an opinion by Judge Som
erville. sustains the protests that were
filed within ten days from the date of
withdrawal from warehouse. and the col
lector is instructed 10 make an appro-
pirate reliquidation. The protests which
were made within ten days after the
French treaty took effect, but before the
collector had made any reliquidation of
the entries. are held to have been prema-
turely fled and are accordingly over

We are paying out scores of millions to
restore order in the Philippines, and be-
nevolently to assimilate the various tribes
Of Malays. Tagals. Ygorotes. Moros, and
so on who inhabit the archipelago. 1t is
rather an unpleasant reflection hat
great many of these millions might have
been and still might be saved, were it not
true that citizens of the United States
have been and are engaged in reasonable
commerce with the revolted natives. We
