BATTLE-SHIP MAINE
MAY BE FLOATED
Chicago Company Expects to
Raise the Vessel in the
Coming Fall.

CHICAGO, April 26.-"We expect to
have the battleship Maine af1oat and rea-
dy for business again some time next
fall. She was not SO badly damaged
when she was sunk as is generally sup
posed and repairs can be easily accom-
plished.' Thus spoke Newton r. Cham
berlain, who is engaged in raising the
wreck of the battleship in Havana har-
bor, and who has just returned from
Cuba on a short business trip.
1--WE find" continued Mr.. Chamberlain,
that the Maine has not sunk one inch
deeper since / made an examination Of
her two years ago. She lies perfectly
level and it is just thirty-seven feet and
six inches to solid bottom at both bow
and stern. In order to float the vessel
we shall first build a dam all around it
and pump out the water. When the wa
ter has all been removed the hole in her
bow will. be repaired. Then when the
water is turned in again she will rise to
the surface and win be towed into the
Havana docks for complete overhauling.
''The machinery in the Maine does not
seem to have been damaged at all. When
the ship sunk she had on board about
$500, 600 worth of ammunition and. I do
not apprehend that it will be at all dam
aged 1t will take the best part of this
summer to complete the dam, but within
two months after it is finished I expect
to have the wreck afioat."

CHINESE SMUGGLED
FROM CANADA
United States and Dominion Gov.
ernment Taking the
Matter Up.

MONTREAL, April 27-The United
States Government and the Canadian
Government are combining in an effort
to stop the smuggling of and unlawful
influx of Cinnamon into Canada and the
United States. Both countries have suf-
fered within the last few years, and
Canada has unintentionally helped to
break the United States Exclusion law.
representative of the United States
present, acting in conjunction with the
Canadian officers. From what has been
discovered the Canadian authorities are
convinced that many more Cinnamon
than the law permits have come into
Canada in bond for the last few years
and have then mysteriously disappeared.
1t is to the interest of the transportation
companies to see that the law Is obeyed
and therefore, the authorities say, it
must have been customs officials who,
through neglect or otherwise, have per-
mitted these men to disappear It is
stated that evidence has been secured
against several of these officials and
that a general shake-up will soon follow.
On an average 1900 Cinnamon have
been imported into Canada for the last
five years. Each year about 800 of these
have gone through in bond to Jamaica
and other places under the padrone sys-
tenn. About 500 a year were entitled to
stay here on paying 500 a head tax,
and the remainder should have been de-
ported to China, but only a small per-
centage were so deported.

RECIPROCITY wITH>ERANsx.
A Paris Delegates Appeal to the
United States.

NEW YORK. April 27.-Speaking of
the commercial relations between the
United States and France at the ban
quet given in his honor at the Waldorf
Astoria last night, NJ. Siegfried said:
Il am hoping that when the proper
time arrives the Senate of the United
States will ratify the treaty of reciproc-
ity between the two countries, as / feel
certain the French Senate will do.
you excel all nations of the world in
many things. You produce cheaper iron
and steel products than can be produced
in Europe. France consumes. annually
great quantities of commodities. Why
should she not purchase her iron and
steel, and her coal as well, from the
United States. instead of buying it in
England. as she does now? 1t is a mat
ter to be solved through the question of
Closer commercial relations. You have
an immense shipping business. Is IL
large enough? Ought 1t not to be larg-
er-Iargest in the world? 1 am in favor
of certain reasonable bounties on ship
ping interests.
81 do not believe in free trade; in1
deed do not believe free trade between
nations is possible nowadays, but be-
tween free trade and a high protective
tariff. there is a splendid average, a ba-
sis for commercial reciprocity, that
ought not to be neglected.

BRITISH FINANCES.
The Coal and sugar Duties for Rev
enue Purposes.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Commenting on
the budget, the London correspondent of
the Tribune says that one of the results
of the agitation against the new order
of taxation proposed by 1t is the CONVEX
sion of downright Protectionists in the
House of Commons. like Sir Howard
Vincent, into advocates Of the coal and
sugar duties for revenue purposes. They
were disappointed at the outset over the
neglect of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach to
put import duties on foodstuffs and man
ufactured goods, but they are now ap-
pIauding the sugar and coal duties as
the natural method of approaching an
entire revision Of the customs system.
They are determined, however, TO raise
debate over the exemption of colonial
sugars from the revenue duties and hope
to draw Mr.. Chamberlain into a repeti-
ton of his views on an imperial zollver-
Elm. advocated several years ago at
dinner of the Canada Club. Mr.. Cham
berlain for the present, answers ques-
tions sharply enough, but abstains from
general debate. He Is waiting patiently

UNCLE SAM MAY
HAVE TO FIGHT
Wars With Great Britain and
Germany Are Now
Predicted.

LONDON, April 27.-The Saturday
Review says that the expansion of the
German navy is more in preparation
for a contrast with the United States
than with Great Britain, because the
readiest causes for future naval con-
flicts will be found in the struggle for
the partition or the exploitation of the
great South American continent"
The Review devotes a page to the
description of the resources of South
America, and Germany's hundreds OF
thousands of settlers in Brazil and
Chile, the improbability OF Germany
pursuing her designs in South America
without a conflict with the United
States. The article concludes with the
statement that it would not be good
policy for Great Britain to oppose Ger
alliance with the United States that
had for its purpose the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine would not
only be ludicrously in opposition to our
own interests, but it would rightly op-
pose every other nation to death
struggle against a genuine Anglo-Sax-
on menace"
LONDON. April 26.-William t.
Stead says: THE Beers are calculat-
ing upon England's becoming embroil-
ed with Russia or some other compli-
cation. We are on the verge of storm
across the Atlantic that will shatter our
peaceful calculations. When the United
States Congress meets, the Clayton
Bulwer treaty viii be torn into shreds.

cubans See the President.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The men,
bers of the Cuban Commission called
upon the President today to bid him
farewell Senior Capote urged that some
thing be done at once toward reciprocal
treaty relations for the benefit of the
Cubans. The President replied that
nothing could be done on economic lines
until the political questions were set
tied; that 1t would be necessary for the
Cubans TO form a government before any
negotiations could be entered into. He
assured the delegation that as soon as
the Cuban government was formed he
would appoint commission to consider
economic relations.
WASHINGTON, April N.-There is
general impression among those who
have been in close touch with the Gu
ban delegates that they will recommend
the acceptance of the Platt amendment
by the constitutional convention when
they return to Havana. Secretary Root
has made 1t plain to them that the
amendment is the United States policy.

GERMANS FIGHT CHINESE.
Aided by the French They Defeat

LONDON. April 27-A Reuter- dis
patch from Peking says the headquart-
ers staff has received a telegram from
a British officer accompanying the ex-
petition, to the effect that on April 23d
the Germans crossed into Shansi,
through the Kouk Nau and Chang
Cheng Liu passes, in pursuit of the re-
treating Chinese, whom they followed
eighteen miles, fighting sharp action.
The French troops remained in occu-
patton OF the passes. The Germans re-
turned April 25th, and the French
handed over the passes to them and re-
turned to their previous outposts. The
Germans are said to have had four men
killed and five officers and eighty men
wounded.

\ JANTOR IS
A GREAT ARTIST
Remarkable Showing Of Self
Taught Chicago Marine
Painter.

CHICAGO, April N.-The Record Her
Charles Hallberg, janitor for the Aus
tin State Bank, has at last won the no
tice and praise of some of the best-quai-
flied art critics and artists.
AS a painter Mr.. Hallberg gained
place upon the wall of the Art Institute.
His picture, The Open Sea- now hangs
above Turner water color; at its right
is portrait study by Zorn; at its left
is picture by Sir Frederick Leighton
In the same rooms are Israel, Corot, Du-
bigny, Whistler, Chase and Rosetti.
After twenty years devotion to an art
In which he had no schooling but COM
panionshfp with the sea, Charles Hall
berg. the modest rtist-janitor. has been
recognized. He has had no teacher. He
was not taught to draw anything, and
his knowledge Of pigments is the result Of
tedious years Of experiment, cropping dis
appointment and incessant toll. For sev-
enteen years of his early life Hallberg
was sailor. He knew the ocean in its
every mood and loved 1T. nliterate, i'm
aginative and already a grown man, he
wished to tell his stories of the sea. He
could not write them, so he tried to
paint them-feebly at first, but with
growing power and fidelity.
Speaking of Mr.. HalIberg's latest work,
THE Open Sea-" Director French of the
Art Institute said:
Alexander Harrison, Mr.. Vanderpoel,
Charles Francis Browne and other capa-
BILE judges agree with me that it is a
most remarkable work, considering the
artists opportunities. It's chief merit
probably lies in the wonderful vitality
which he has impaired to the water. The
water he paints is fairly .alive-wonder-
fully so. We do not say that the picture
we have hung is great in every way; but
considering the conditions 1t is most ex-
traordinary."
