 As a matter of fact, those who will control Cuban legislation in congress are not inclined to urge the passage of any law until the Cuban govern ment is established. when a recipro- city treaty can be negotiated if nee essary to give Cuba the desired con- mereial relief.
 President Roosevelt has, it is said, decided not to incorporate in his mes- sage the recommendations of the cabi- of the document, but to have them published as an appendix.

TRIED TO POISON.
Morrow Family Finds Strych'
nine In the Food.
Fortunately Discovered Before the
Poison Had Been
Eaten.

An attempt to poison the families
of Mrs. r. J. Morrow and her son,
Thos. l.. Morrow, was made last
Sunday.
Strychnine was placed in the food
intended for dinner, while all of the
members of the two families we're
away from home. On returning
from church Mrs. Will Croft, Mrs.
Morrow's daughter, stopped at a
bowl of custard and tasted a few
drops of it. 1t tasted bitter and
her suspicious were aroused and
examination showed small white
particles in the custard. A further
inspection showed that all of the
food in the kitchen had been pois-
oned with what turned out to be
strychniue. 1t was found sprinkled
over a dish Of ham and also in the
coffee pot. The coffee was thrown
out and dog that licked it up was
thrown into commissions.
The white powder was tested
Wednesday and found to be strych'
nine. There was enough in it tc
have killed a dozen people.
The servants claimed to know
nothing about it and the whole at
fair is still involved in mystery.
Mr. Morrow is a son of the late
Judge t. J. Morrow and lives with
his mother near the city. Some
months ago he had some of his stock
poisoned and a few nights age
nearly all of his fine game chickens
were killed.
He doesn't know whom to sus
pect, as he says il he has an enemy
he doesn't know who it is.
