LaNv-NeV Census Bill Passed.

Cannot Vote Under MaryIand's New
LaNv-New Census Bill Passed.
Annapolis, Md, March 26.-The new
election bill, having for it's object the
practical Acknowledgement of most of
the $4,000 illiterate voters of the state
passed the senate on Wednesday of last
week. 1t was Immediately sent to the
house, where all the amendments made
by the senate were concurred in, and
the bill passed.
The most important change in ex-
listing methods accomplished by the
enactment of the new law lies in de-
priving illiterate voters of the assist
ance of ballot clerks in preparing their
ballots. Party emblems are abolished
and other changes made which makes
the new law very nearly similar to that
in existence in Massachusetts.
The effect of the law is, of course,
largely matter of conjecture, and one
upon which the party leaders widely
differ The Democrats expect that it
will disfranchise about $4,000 negroes
and perhaps 10000 white voters who
cannot read or write The Democrats
claim that with these out of the way
the state will be safely Democratic for
years to come, insuring the election OF
Democrat to succeed United States
Senator Wellington next year.
The Democratic leaders here are
greatly elated, and the Republicans
correspondence depressed over the
revelations concerning the padding Of
the census lists by federal enumer-
ators in Charles and st. Mary's coun-
ties
The senate bill authorizing re-
count by the state passed both houses
last week. and was signed by the gov.

The bill to enable Baltimore city
to issue Sl2,OOO,OOO of bonds for the
purpose of building a sewerage system

patronage question has never
been, and is not now a vital question
in Union Republican politics. The
lack of patronage did not decrease
Union Republicans zeal, and an
abundance of it will not increase
their zeal. If there ever was a DO
litical party that gave itself unre-
servedly to the work it had in hand
that of beating its political adj
versaries-the Union Republican
party is that party. 1t has over
come more and greater obstacles,
and achieved more victories in the
same length of time than any party
of which we have knowledge, and
it has done this with no patronage
to offer as bait for influence or votes.

Pekin. February 23.-1:e9 p. m.-Sir
Robert Hart, chief OF the Chinese i'm
perial customs, has sent the ministers
of the powers a strongly worded letter
of protest against the seizure of his
property, to increase the size of the le-
cations area, which has peen taken by
Austria, France, Germany and Italy.
The last power has taken the ground
on which Mr.. Hart's residence was sit
uated. He says it can only be Chinese
government property in an indefinite
sense. in that during the past twenty
years part Of his salary as a Pekin
official has been given to him in houses
instead of the government paying in
cash. Sir Robert also put money into
the purchase of land, in building houses
and in keeping them in repair.
He considered that having lived there
for twenty years, he owned the prop
erty absolutely. 1t is generally under
stood in the service that whoever has
lived that long in house owned it,
He says Italy, especially. had suitable
grounds and that she had no reason to
share in the generl gratis distribution
of lands for the various legations.
Sir Robert also points to his many
years in the service of the foreign pow
ers and to his having made the Gus
toms pay the principal and interest OF
loans, a thoroughly international ser
vice, and that he has even paid the in
terest on the loans since the troubles
began and he thinks he ought to have
received more consideration.
General Yamagutch1. the japanese
commander, and General Chaffee have

Senate Committee Drafting American
Views Of the status

Washington. February 23.-The sem
ate committee on relations with Cuba
met today to cons, der proposed
amendment to the army appropriation
bill providing for the disposition Of
Cuban affairs. The proposition was
prepared by the republican members
of the committee and is said to be
satisfactory to most of them.
The proposed amendment recites the
so-called Teller amendment to the
Spanish war resolut ons and then gives
the president authority to withdraw
the troops from Cuba when, in his
judgment, the provisions Of the Teller
amendment are realized.
The propositions embodied in the
proposed amendment include the fol-
lowing points:
That the United States shall have
supervision of all treaties with foreign
Cuba.
That Cuba shall not undertake to
pay the debt incurred by Spain in her
war with Cuba prior to or after the
Intervention of the United States.
That Cuba shall agree either to lease
or to sell to the United States such
coaling or naval stations as in the
opinion of the United States may be
necessary to the protection of the in
terests of this country.
That the United States shall have
sufficient supervision of the laws Of
Cuba relating to sanitation to protect
this country from epidemics liable to
originate there.
The idea is that these provisions
shall be included in a treaty to be
made with Cuba, but that they need
not be part of the constitution. 1t
is understood that the draft of the
amendment containing these provis-
ions was submitted to the president
and the secretary Of war, and that
| they expressed themselves approving
of their wording.
The minority members of the COM
| mittee expressed themselves. willing
I to come to an understanding upon
| these general lines. Indeed. some of
| the most important suggestions were
made by the minority, Senator Butler
\ of North Carolina, being one of the
| foremost movers in the matter. They
| insist. however, upon many verba
| amendments, thus evincing a deter
mination to aid in giving form to the
| provision as we'll as suggesting 1t:
| general tenor.
When the committee adjourned to
day there was still important differ
ences to be reconciled, and the mem
bers separated with the understandin,
that another meeting would be held OIL
Monday.
One prominent point to which th'
committee is giving special attention
although that point may not be EN-
phasiZed or even mentioned, is tn
proposed amendment as to the relation
Of Cuba to the Isle Of Pines. There
some disposition among the Cuban
to hold on to that island so near the
shores. while there is apparently in
disposition on the part Of the Unite
States to release that possession, o
the ground that the island was asquir
ed as a result of the Spanish war.
