The members OF that Cuban commit
tee left Washington hugging the de-
fusion that Mr.. McKinley's promise to
appoint commissioners to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba, as soon
as Cuba had government to negotiate
with, meant something tangible. Un-
less the senate should treat it better
than it did the whole bunch of recip-
r0city treaties negotiated by the pres
emit administration, the actual negoti-
ton of such treaty would be mean
ingless. Still, the promise sent the
Cubans home in a good humor and that
was doubtless all it was intended to do.
The Cubans on their side promised to
do their best to get the constitutional
convention to accept the Platt amend
ment. 1t will soon be apparent wheth-
or their promise was worth any. more
than McKinley's.

Mr.. GMcKinley's record-breaking

1861 miles. The special train con-
sists OF seven Pullman cars, each Sc

The trip will cost thousands of dollars,
but it is doubtful whether cent of it
will come out of the pocket of any one
of the thirty-eight passengers. Secre-
tary Cortelyou was thoroughly alive
to the advertising possibilities of the
trip, when he arranged that more than
ons-fourth of the passengers should be
newspaper men, and he took care that
there should be artists among them.

Secretary Hay announced before he
left Washington that he had secured
sufficiently definite statement of sena-
torial views, to inform just what sort

England, would be sure to receive the
support of two-thirds of the senators.
Senators who ought to know something
about the views of their colleagues on
this subject, think that this announce
ment is like many others made in
the diplomatic world misleading with
out being untrue. One of them said:

MINISTER AFTER THE WAR.

Mr.. Faw was ordained 10 preach the
gospel in accordance with the Baptist
doctrine in the year 1873, and so long
after that time as circumstances would
permit, he was engaged actively in
church work. He was strong man
physically and mentally and possessed
untiring energy. He was therefore
peculiarly fitted for missionary work,
and as result of his labors n number
of hourishing churches were establish
ed in the mountain regions of the Pa
cific slope.
In whatever community the deceased
resided, he was leader in matters of
education, religion and charity. He
was a calm, steady-going, determined
man, and his works live as a monu-
ment to his worth.
Mr.. Faw was a practical Christian
who believed heartily in the sentiment
"faith without works is dead" He
practiced charity in broad sense,
lending aid, according to his means, to

republicans. Not because it loves Con-
ger overly we'll or desires to see him
honored, but because it doesn't wish
him to return to China as United States
Minister, nor to tell him that he can

reasons, the administration wishes Mr..
Conger nominated for governor of To-

several times during the negotiations
in Pekin, and he has displeased it again
by his published interviews since he
reached the United States, but his
standing with the powerful missionary
element in this country is such that the
administration is afraid to kick him out
OF the diplomatic service.

FOR CONTEMPT.
Denver Temperance Leaders
Hailed Into Court.

Denver. June 18.-Rev. NJ A. RAIDER,
pastor of Grace NJ. Z. church; Rev. W.
H. Talmage, state superintendent OF
the anti-saloon league, and Secretary
Walter D. Wynkoop of the Christian
Endeavor society of Denver, were sum-
moned to answer this morning in
Judge Palmer's division of the district
court to the charge of contempt. I. P.
Stauer. secretary of the Chesapeake
Oyster house, swore to the charges At
torney Milton H. Smith, who is acting
for the Chesapeake, and Daniel Cronin,
in the saloon injunction cases, appeared
S Attorney for Mr.. Stauer in the con-
tempt cases.
The Rev. Mr. RAIDER is cited for con-
tempt on account of having made the
following statement from his pulpit:
1.-THE saloon men prevailed upon Judge
Palmer two weeks ago to grant an IN
junction against the enforcement of the
law. I've got respect for our courts as
SUCH but when the district judge pros
titutes the bench to such low ends
confess I am not only astounded, but
deeply grieved. Whoever heard of such
a procedure? The idea of our courts
conniVing with the laWbreakersi 1t is
high time to call a halt. [ suppose we
will soon be informed that a judge will
grant injunctions against the enforce
ment of the laws against thieves and
sluggers and murderers-'
The informal ton against Mr.. Talmage
says that in an interview he declared
in substance:
s.That the said Peter L. Palmer was
under the control and influence of the
saloon men of the city of Denver and
that the said injunctions' were issued
by him at their beheSt and that it would
be worth while for the saloon men to
pay Judge Palmer $40, 600 to make the
injunction permanent, but if it were ac-
complished it would result in a great
upheavaI of the Christian people of Den
YER"
Mr.. Talmage is also said to have
stated in a letter sent in duplicate to
majority of the Denver ministers that
1.-The saloon men have in their power
the sheriff's Office, the district attor-
ney one member of the fire and police
board, Mr. Bottom, and one district
judge"
Mr.. Wynkoop is cited in consequence
of his having issued the following no.
tice to members of the Christian En-
deavor society:
Dear FndeavorerS: I is desired that
at the meeting of your Christian En-
deavor society on Sunday night the
president state the fact that Judge Pal
mer has issued a temporary injunction:
he will attempt to permit the saloons to
reopen all over the city on Sundays I'M
less the better class of the people i'm
press him that he shall not do so. Ask
all present who are in favor of the sa-
looms closing on Sundays to raise their
hands; all who will attend Judge Pal
mer's court at 10 a. m Monday, June
10, and see that he give fair play to
the Christians of Denver. Yours in the
work, w. D. WYNKOOP.'

TO REVOKE CHARTER.
American Federation of Labor
to Cut Off Chicago Branch.

Chicago, June 18-The Chronicle says:
Thomas I. Kidd. one of the members of
the American Federation of Labor COM
mittee investigating the local assembly
last night sent to President Gompers at
Washington a report recommending the
revocation of the Chicago Federation's
charter.
If the recommendation is accepted
drastic action will probably be taken
by the executive board at a meeting to
be held in Toronto early next month.
A formidable rival to the Chicago fed
Grafton would it is said, be the inevi-
table sequel to the act of the revocation
and forthwith a fractional war would
ensue between the rival labor assemb-
lies.
Although for some time it has been
realized in local labor circles that the
relations between the Chicago fedora
ton and the parent body We're being
strained almost to the swapping point,
had been tided over during the sessions
of the national officers at the Briggs
House some two weeks ago. 1t has
been charged that the Chicago Fedora
ton was guilty of INSTRUMENTATION to
the national body and of violating the
national rules of the organization
Among labor men of prominence the
announcement as to the action of Mr..
Kidd, who is a Chicago man and ma
tional secretary of the Amalgamated
Woodworkers union was decidedly sem
sational news.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Kidd
said: 1.-The specific charges on which
base my recommendation for the can
collation. of the Chicago labor body's
charter is that this particular labor as
sembly has violated the rule adopted at
the Louisville convention decreeing the
denial of membership to the boxmakers,
bridgemen, piano makers and other To-
cal unions that have contumaciously-
refused to join their international Or
ganiza tons

TRADE OF PHILIPPINES.
It Shows q Large Growth But is Most
Iy With Europe.

Washington, June 1s.-An increase of q
per cent in imports and 4s per cent in
exports in Philippine commerce is shown
in a comparative statement made public
by the division Of insular affairs, war de-
partment, setting forth the trade returns
for the first ten months of 1900 as com
pared with the same period of the pre-
ceding year. The total value of mer-
chandise imported into the Philippines
from January to November. 1900, was $20,-
49, 52 against $16,64456S for the same
period of 1899 The value of the exports
from the Philippines during the 1900
period Is set down at SIS, 372 $50 against
Sl2 975,6C5 in 1899
The greater part of the imports came
from the European and Asiatic countries,
although this trade with the United
States showed an increase of 43 per cent
Exports to the United States, however,
showed a falling off of S27, 267 The major
share of the exports were taken by Eu-
rOpean countries There were no imports
of gold and silver from the United States

last time this was the case of the trial

unusual that veteran British lawyers
forecast that it will be the last instance
of the kind. If the case actually reach
es the upper house on the question of
privilege, this bigamy trial in it's broad
est aspect brings up the whole question
of the validity of American divorces
when Englishmen cross the Atlantic for
the purpose of evading English law and
return with American DEGREES as their
ground of defense. 1t is evident that
the prosecution has prepared itself for
a hard fight and that it has obtained
possession of all the facts respecting
Earl Russells marriage and divorce in
Nevada and also full information con-
corning recent decisions of the United
States supreme court on the subject.

NO MORE SOLDIERS.
Work in Harvest Fields Has Spoiled

closing of the Topeka recruiting Office.
Topeka may be a good place for re-

did the business grow since the demand
for harvesters began that Captain
Uline has been obliged to close the sta
ton.
The noncoms who were on
duty there have been transferred to
Salina in hopes that tight fitting
blOuses and little to do may have
charms enough to turn the hardy Kan
san from shocking after the self binders
or to pull him from the band cutters
table at the thresher. In Missouri the
Joplin Office has been closed and the re-
cruiting party transferred to Springfield
all operating under orders from the
Kansas City station. Springfield is re-
porting as many men as is Kansas City
and even then it is not doing much, for
up to yesterday all the men passed by
Surgeon Slusher at this point made but
an even dozen.
