AGAINST PLATT AMENDMENT
(Continued from First Page.l

Continued from First Page)
 fulfllment of the joint resolution and has been adopted by congress with the principal object of establishing inde- pendence we do propose to the conven- tion to accept the following as an ap- pendix. to the constitutions:
 The first, second, fourth and fifth clauses are quoted in their entirety. The third clause has the following addition:
 ''tI being understood that the United States have the right to intervene to prevent the action of a foreign power or disturbances causing a state of an- archy and that the intervention shall always be the act of the United States and not of isolated agents. The inter- vention shall suppose neither sover- eighty nor a protectorate and shall only last sufficiently long to establish nor mai conditions Said intervention, it is also understood, shall hot have the right to interfere in the government but only the right to preserve independence.
 An addition to the sixth clause says that the ownership of the Isle of Pines shall be settled by future treaty
 An addition to the seventh clause says: Tt shall be understood that the naval stations do not give the United States the right to intervene in the in- terior government, but are established with the sole purpose of protecting American waters from foreign invasion directed against Cuba or the United States. Cuba will sell or lease the nec- essary land at points to be agreed up on later.P
 An addition to the eighth clause says that the government of Cuba suggests at the same time treaty of commerce based upon reciprocity.
 The minority report says: "The ex- planation given to the commission in Washington shows that the Platt law does not express the wishes of the United States. It was intended to pro- tect the independence of Cuba, but the wording gives other interpretations The United States are inconsistent in asking naval stations when the amend ment provides that no concessions shall be given to foreign powers. Such demand raises the question whether the United States do not consider Cuba part of their possessions.''
 The report of the minority virtually accepts the first and second clauses. For the third clause the following is substituted: That the government of Cuba subscribes to the Monroe doctrine and will help the United States to en- force it against other nations trying to violate it.''
 For the fourth clause the following is substituted: Cuba does not recognize acts of intervention which are (Not ? in conformity with the Foraker resolu- ton and the laws of the country"
 The seventh clause reads: Cuba will maintain naval stations, handing them over to the United States In time of war"
 The report of the minority recom- mends commercial treaty based upon reciprocity. The report of the majority has caused considerable surprise. It was generally believed that the commit tee on relations would recommend &C., ceptance of the Platt amendment on the basis of the interpretation given by Sec ertary Root, but 1t was not expected that such additions would be made to various clauses as the majority recom mend.

SHE COULD SPEAK TT.


 | Continued from Fourth Page.) | listening by this time, and the knowl- ledge of this fact probably excited the lyoung man a good deal. At any rate his French appeared to have absolutely
 no meaning for the Frenchman, who shook his head more and more, and gazed around again at the rest of the
 passengers as if to find out from their expressions whether he was being guyed
 or not. At length the young man with
 the stock of Ollendorf French gave it
 up and leaned back in his seat With a
 whole lot of red in his face remarking
 to the grinning man next to him, That
 fellow must talk Zulu-he certainly
 doesn't talk French"
 Then the old black mammy sitting
 next to the dapper little Frenchman
 turned to him and addressed him in his
 own tongue. It was funny to see the startled look in his face. The old man.
 my's French was as pure as crystal, al-
 belt, of course, in the African patols, and the Frenchman eagerly replied to her questions, while the young man across the aisle grew redder and redder. The old black mammy told the French man that she'd let him know when the car reached the Pennsylvania station, and then the two chatted and laughed together at great rate It was an odd colloquy to listen to. and the passen- gers watched the old black nanny in- terestedly as she emitted her liquid flow of Gallic speech, The marvelling ex- pression on the Frenchman's face gave way to one of delight as he talked on with the turbaned mammy. He asked her how 1t came that she was so profi- cient in his language, and she told him that she had been speaking it from her birth-tllat she was from New Orleans, and was on a visit to married daugh- ter in Washington. The Frenchman bade adieu when Sixth street was reached, and raised his top hat to her very gallantly. The old nanny with the good French at the tip of her tongue got off at Four and half street, and then the young man who had volun- teered his French to help the French man out grinned sheepishly at the man next to him, and remarked:
 Well, I guess the old girl had it on me, at that, IMouldn't ha' opened my bazoo with my high school French for eight million dollars if I'd ha' known that she could roll it out the way she did ''-Washington Star.

STRIKE OF THE MACHINISTS
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.)
 At New London the 800 machinists have not yet become organized, and nc demand will be made for short day In many of the smaller cities the same is true. A settlement has been ef- fected at the large Norwalk Iron works.
 The largest strike will be at Hart ford, where about $500 hands are con- cerned. Here practically no settlement has been attempted by either employ CTS or employed, and both parties are awaiting the others move.
 At Waterbury the situation promises to become acute because the manufac- turers have expressed their intention to fill the places made vacant by non- union men and the unionists declare that this shall not be done. Already pickets are watching incoming trains and committees from each shop have been appointed to handle the local sit- nations in this respect.
 In the other strike cities, Bridgeport, where 800 men are involved, Derby and Ansonia, with 800, and New Britain with 200, the situation is quiet tonight. The strikers are completing their or- ganization, and a prolonged struggle Is indicated.

part of the company is, it is said, satls- factory to the machinists.
 The Greist shop in Westvile shut down yesterday for two weeks for re- pairs. The fnachinists, thirteen in num- Der, employed there asked Saturday for a conference with J. M. Greist, of the company. The request was refused, however, except that MT. Greist offered to confer with a non-uion man, if there was one among the machinists employ ed in his companys shop. A non.union man was found and held conference with MT. Greist. What the result of this talk was was not communicated to the would-be strikers, who cannot now strike. since the shops are shut down for two weeks.
 It was said last night by lnachinists that there would probably be strikes be- ginning to- day at some of the smaller shops, but it is not likely that the strik- CTS will aggregate more than seventy five or one hundred, instead of the one thousand or more who it was said last week would strike.
 Among the shops at which the ma chinists are expected to go on strike to- day are at the Kidder Motor Vehicle company's, where twenty-five machln- ists are employed; at the A. B. Hen dryx company's, where three are enl- ployed, and at Kllborn & Bishops shop. Agreements satisfactory to the machin- ists have been entered into by the F. B. Sinister company, r. F. Pfeghar & Son, the Hoggson & Pettis company, H. G. Thompson, Herrick &S Cowell, Fl. l1 Smith and the New Haven Clock com pany.

 As soon as the order was executed the king fell i'll, and the astrologers who were called to attend him said:
 "The spirits of Takui and Sappi are seeking vengeance. You must do some- thing to propitiate them"
 Realizing his danger the king was graciously pleased to admit that he had committed a mistake In killing two men for the sake of one pig. This manifes- tation of humility was accepted by the revengeful spirits as sufficient. The spirit of "One-Eyed Kim" is now re- ported to be haunting the palace, and the emperor has called in astrologers for advice and consultation.-W. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record Herald.

MACHINISTs' STRIKE LOCALLY

Appears to be Fizzle-Not More Than l One Hundred Will Go Out
 l The probabilities are that the general machinists' strike, of which there was | so much talk locally last week in con- l nectibn with New Haven shops, will not | materialize. There was talk of order ing strike of machinsts at the Win chester Repeating Arms factory and at the Consolidated roads machine shops,
 but on Saturday evening the machin-
 ists' lodges, Elm lodge and Hope lodge, held long meetings, largely attended,
 and decided not to order strike at
 Winchester's nor at the railroad shops.
 At Elm lodge, of which some Win
 chester machlnists are members, it was
 reported that only about 30 per cent. of
 the machinists employed at Winches-
 ter's are members of the union and con sequently with this small percentage it was deemed inadvisable to order a strike there
 At the meeting of Hope lodge of which some of the machnists employed by the railroad company are members, it was decided that the union member ship among the railroad machlnists was not sufficiently strong numerically to render a strike advisable. It was re- poI ,sd at the meetings that neither the Winchester company nor the railroad company representatives would treat with representatives of the union nor, recognize the union in any way.
 A the New Haven Clock company's shop there will be no strike, satisfac- tory agreement having been arrived at, The company found that it would be very inconvenient to grant the machin- 1 ists a nine-hour day while other em- ployes in the shop worked ten hours a day, and so the company made prop osition to the machinists to work ten hours a day every work day except Saturday and to permit them to quit at Il o'clock on Saturday and receive pay i for full day.

THE POLICE BOARD MTXUP.
More Changes Coming -Mass Meeting To-morrow Night

More Changes Coming -Mnss Meeting
 Tomorrow Night.
 Public criticism of the action last week of the police commissioners, or commissioners, in placing on the veter- an reserve list able bodied and efficient officers of the force, continues unabat- ed and will find expression at the mass meeting to be held tomorrow night, There is some talk of action being talk en at the meeting towards requesting the present board of police commission CTS to resign, and towards attempting to secure their impeachment in case they refuse to resign.
 There is also some talk of a move ment to request the legislature to so amend the. city charter as to provide for a single head to the police department directly responsible to the mayor, in stead of a bipartisan commission as at present.
 In the meantime the officers who have been shelved have consulted law yers and if they are not rainstated will PiOhJCDiy ClldCoNpl bS iiiSdio Ol cl lIldll- damus to compel the commissioners to reinstate, them. The opinion is daily growing that there were two reasons why the four commissioners fixed the deal. It is generally believed that pol itics and personal spite were back of the performance.
 There are now rumors that the four commissioners in the combination will before the board is reorganized next month, make still further changes which will include further retirements, appointing Acting Captains Hayes and Williams to full captaincies, and ap- pointments of new policemen.
 Mayor Driscoll attended the meeting of the board at which the shake up took place and presided at the meeting. He says, however, that he was not in the deal, had nothing to do with, it, and that it was surprise to him.
