NEW EXPLOSIVE.
More Deadly Than Lyddite, Yet Safer to
Handle.

New York, June 6.-The Press says:
Maximite the new explosive invented
by Hudson Maxim, has been adopted
by this country after a series of sue
cessful tests at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds. Inc secret of the explos-
i've has been sold to the Government
by the inventor and the explosive it is
thought may revolutionize warfare. 1t
is said to be more deadly in it's charac-
ter than lyddite, yet so safely can it be
handled that the danger attaching to
its use is less than that incurred in
transporting ordinary black powder.
The tests indicate that the explosive

EACH SHARE ONE CENT.
Unique Concern in New Jersey, Capital Two
Hundred Thousand.

New York, June 7.-Some curiosity
has been excited by the announcement
of the incorporation in New Jersey of
the Federal development company,
with a capital stock of 100000, diyd-
ed into 20,000,000 shares of a par value
of one cent each. The person who
filed the articles in the Essex county
clerks Office at Newark was Joseph p.
Barricklow, who arrived from Arcola
ILL.,, few days ago, and returned west
Immediately after settling the incorpo-
ration business. The amount paid in
with which to begin business was ST.
900, and the objects set forth as the
business of the company included the
purchase and control of lands, power
sites, transportation, telegraph and
telephone provisions, the construction
and sale of railroads, and the acquire
ment of navigation privileges.
Exactly what Mr.. Barricklow pro-
posed doing with the 20,O0O,OOO shares
was not made known. 1t was suggest
ed that he might be acting in the inter
est of a big concern which intended
using the shares as advertisements OF
cash coupons. Also that he intended
starting a penny-in-the-slot brokerage
business to help out the newsboys and
bootblacks of Arcola.

The Cuban problem seems to ba tho

class of American statesmen In congress
Che by one they have been called upon
for solution but each has refused to
go to the public blackboard and DEM
onstrate his solution. There seem to
lie equations which can not be elfmi-
rated by any established constitutional
laws or any rules of diplomacy. 1t is
possible that the blood and treasure
expended in the humane effort to free
Cuba will be in vain and the altruistic
policy OF Intervention end in Cuban an
archy. Annexation by force of arms
would be criminal aggression To al
low government to be established which
must end in anarchy would be criminal
negligence What is to be done? The
nation must be consistent and apparent
iy fair in dealing with Cuba after the
magnanimous declaration made to the
world. 1t no doubt is fact that a ma
jority of the inhabitants of Cuba who
furnish the bone and sinew Of the ISL
and would prefer annexation to the
United States. The problem Is to bring
this about without friction. To accom-
Fish this the initiative must come from
Cuba Itself.

Queer Measures I'm Two Western
Legislatures That Originated
I'm New York City.

Wisconsin is one of the states with a ju-
dtcious time lock on new legislation
whereby no fresh bills can be introduced
after q certain date. This date is sort of
movable feast and has not been fixed
for the present session. although there
has already been one resolution started
seeking to cut of the Introduction of all
new bills after the end of this month
But Senator Roehr doesn't propose to be
caught mapping, and is on hand early In
the game with measures likely to coax
the officials Of certain vested interests to
inspect the charms of Madison as a win
ter resort.
Two Of these are 1eveled at life insur-
ance. One Is bill requiring companies
conducted on the mutual plan to declare
dividends every year. Several hundred
million dollars of insurance is already in
force In which the policy holders, with
their full knowledge, wish and satisfac-
ton have agreed to receive their DIV dends
at the end of five, ten, twenty or more
years, according to each Individual con-
tract. But Mr.. Roehr, or the party be-
hind him, knows what is good for the
policy holders better than they do them
selves, and thinks their contracts should
all be upset.
His other bill prohibits mutual compa-
MES from paying their agents any com
mission or brokerage in excess of the ex-
pense loading of each new policy: This IS
matter easier understood by insurance
men than by the general public, but alb
surd the theory is that it will be a good
thing for the older policy holders. It is.
however, calculated to make the former
stir their stumps and hustle up to Mad
ison to enjoy the air of that fine town
Oddly enough, the counterparts of these
bills have just been introduced in the
Minnesota senate. and also in the Mis-
souri, legislature. These measures, or eX-
actly similar ores, are known to have

seem to have been sent West from there

way, the insurance committees of the
Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin legis-
latures will probably be apt to consider
that the people of their own states are
quite capable of originating all legislation
