 NAVAL SURVEY.
Suitable Locations for Harbors Along
 Cuban Coast Selected.

Washington, June 7-The naval sur- veys which have been In progress for some time along the coasts of Cuba have some time along the coasts of Cuba have disclosed the most available harbors for coaling and naval stations. in case there are established in accordance with the Platt amendment. Probably the most im- portant ports are Cape San Antonio, at the extreme western extremity of Cuba, and Cape Maysi at the extreme eastern end.
 At Cape Maysi 1t has been found that there Is reef running far out into the water and that there is no suitable har- bor within forty miles of the cape. The bay of Nipe appears to afford the most available harbor in that locality.
 At the other extremity of the island 1t has been found that Cape San Antonio has no harbors of any kind in its im- mediate vicinity suitable for a naval or coaling station. This locality is regarded as extremely important from a naval and stragetic standpoint, as it commands the Yucatan passage. Most of the large har- bors along the northern and southern coast have been surveyed and charted those of Cienfuegos and Guantanamo ap- parently being among the best on the southern coast.
 These surveys have proceeded without any reference to the political questions relating to Cuba, although the work al- ready accomplished will be serviceable when these political relations are finally determined.

Milwaukee, June 1.-The Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
 CTS Convention adjourned sine die this
 evening after electing the following of- ficers:
 President, T. J. Shaffer, Pittsburg. Secretary Treasurer, John Williams, Pittsburg.
 Manager of Amalgamated Journal, Ben

 Vice presidents for the third district, c. H. Davis, Newport, Ky. For the sev- enth district. Fred Williams Birming- ham.
 John Pierce of Pittsburg was elected national organizer of the association. The next convention will be held in Wheeling, W. Va.
 The most important work of the con- vention is considered to be the adoption of the so-called continuous scale plan It
 is really, not continuous scale, but a annual wage settlement with some amenQmentS.
 The most important of these Is the continuous operation of the mills while the scale Is being considered in conference and the extension of time within which an agreement must be arrived at. There is no provision for the continuance from year to year of such portions of the scale
 as may be unsatisfactory to both the as- sociation and the companies at the time of the annual wage adjustment. Neither is there any provision for dating back in
 any question for an increase In wages.
 The detailed plan of annual wage set clement adopted by the convention Is as follows The annual convention will be held in April when the whole scale will be revised as usual The scale will be given to the manufacturers on May 15. The period for conference negotiation shall expire June Elf no agreement is reached by that date a conciliatory shall be called into. the conference. He shall decide contested points, but his decis- ions shall not be final or binding. If no agreement is reached by July 15 all asso- citation mills are to close.
 The limit of settlement in force now is July 1, at which time, if no agreement is reached, the men walk out. The new plan extends the period of conferences from three to eight weeks.

 Asecond penny went in and the band played ''If I ere Only a King" while the slip read: You are destined for the high est honors in your profession"
 Everyone except the Cardinal applauded and he tried 1t once more. This time there was great whir of wheels and the print ed slip was shot far across the floor.
