TO RAISE BLACK CATS.
Connecticut Concern Being Organized
with 81 900 Capital.

WINSTED. Conn. March PA company
is being organized here, with capital stock
Of 1000, to raise black cats. Edward A.
Nellis, high sheriff of the county; II. MacD
Allen, a stock broker, and Burton f..
Moore. a real-estate dealer, are the pro-
moters of the enterprise. The skins of
black cats are quoted at 50 cents. and, there
being no law to protect felines and the fact
that they are not subject TO taxation, has
led the promoters TO believe that good
profit can be realized in breeding them. An
Angora cat company. capitalized at s2O. 900.
has just been organized in Winsted. and II
is possible that the two companies will be
merged.

REJECTS FOUR CLAUSES
REPORT OF CUBAN COMMITTEE ON
THE PLATT AMENDMENT.
Many Delegates Not i'm Favor of Ac-
cepting the Report-Sentiment
of the People Changing.

HAVANA, March 22.-The committee on
relations of the Cuban constitutional con-
vention met to-day to consider the report
drawn up by it's secretary, Senior Juan
Gualberto Gomez. on the Platt amendment.
In substance the report rejects four
clauses-the clauses dealing with coaling
stations. foreign relations, the right to
intervene to preserve peace and the en-
tering into treaties covering the points in
question. The other clauses are treated
on the lines of the previous report, the
sanitation of the Isle of Pines being virtu-
ally agreed to. Three of the members of
the committee objected to the rejection
in toto of the four clauses mentioned, and
1t is believed that some consideration
should be given them. No vote was taken,
but a majority was opposed to acceptance.
The committee adjourned until Tuesday
next.
The committees action is taken as a
forerunner of the final acceptance of the
Platt amendment. member of the COM
mittee said this morning: "The general
tone of the people has changed. / don't
believe the convention will accept the re-
port as it stands.
Many delegates have talked to-day with
Senator Proctor. but he gave them no en-
couragement TO believe that the next Con-
gress would modify the amendment. On
the contrary, he told them it was clearly
for the interest of the Cubans to accept
the amendment.
The papers in the postoffice fraud case
have been ordered turned over to the fis-
cal, who hereafter will be the only repre-
sentative of the government in the prose-
cution. Messrs Rubens and Lamar. who
were preparing evidence, will retire. This
move is said to indicate an early trial.

Hanna May Reply to Boilers.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Nebraska
senatorial situation was considered at a
consultation between the President and
Senator Hanna, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee to-day. The ad-
ministration is anxious that the deadlock
in the Legislature be broken in order that
the election OF two Republican senators
may be accomplished, and the Republican
national committee has been exerting its in
fiuence TO that end Senator Hanna did
not relish the publication of the kilograms
which he sent to Lincoln urging acquies-
cence in the will Of the majority, and says
he will send no more kilograms to people
who make them public. He may, however,
find a way of answering the telegram sent
to him by the ten boiling Republicans,
which declares that the election of d. T.
Thompson one of the candidates, would be
disgraceful. II have hopes" said the sena-
tor when he left the White House, that
sooner later loyalty TO the Republican
party will bring the boilers to their senses -

The legislative committee appointed
to examine the books of Maj. Martin,
State Treasurer Worths defaulting
clerk, yesterday began work on the ac-
counts of the School for the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind.
Though they have only checked up
to December 1898, they find that he
stole from this fund in exactly the same
manner as from the penitentiary fund,
though not so frequently and so heavily.
Thus far they have discovered a short.
age of only something like $500. The
committee are of opinion, though they
have as yet found no positive evidence
of the fact. that later the shortage was

prise if it turns out that it was not,
and that the shortage in this account
is several thousand dollars.
The principal trouble the committee
is having in it's work is the lack Of
system of bookkeeping on the part of
the institutions, and the use of an an
cient and gray-headed system in the
State Treasurer's office. Those who
have looked into the books say it must
be the system adopted by the first
State Treasurer North Carolina ever
had. But even that is better than the
no-system method adopted by some
of the institutions.
This lack of bookkeeping has hedged
the committees work about with almost
insuperable difficulties, and it will prob
ably never be known exactly what Mar
