TO BE N0SPECIAL MESSAGE
Roosevelt Maintains His Posi- . tion Favoring Reciprocity
DiMculty in Determining What
 Promises Were Made to the Cuban Delegation in Washington.

Washington, March 1o-Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Committee. and Representative Grosvenor. also of that committee. were among the President's callers today. Although both maintained great reserve as to their calls, it was stated that no special message was at present In contemplation, and that the President continued to maintain the posi- ton for reciprocity he had taken in his annual message.
 Mir. Payne's associates In the contest expressed the belief that the reciprocity plan would prevail in some form. In this connection. there were intimations that the Senate might take up the question by adding Cuban amendment to the war revenue or some other pending bill.
 Inquiry among Senators. however. shows that there is no such intention and that the war revenue repeal lbil will pass substantially as it came from the House.
 V To some of his other Congressional vis- itors, who talked with him today regard ing Cuban reciprocity. the President said
 
 what promises or representations were made to Cuban delegates when they wis tied Washington last summer previous to the adoption of the Platt amendment as part of the Cuban constitution. There was no record of any promise, but the un- derstanding seemed to be that reciprocal arrangements were to be made with Cuba of nature which would give the islands s products an advantage in the markets of the United States.
 In the course of the discussion today. 1t Is understood Senator Allison remarked that more importance had been given to the subject than was warranted, that the proposed 20 per, cent reduction to be granted to Cuba would ;not be of material -adtentage to the planters of the island nor would such reduction of duty or Cuban sugar affect in any material way the beet sugar interests of this country The President expressed desire to secure harmony, and some of the Senators who saw him said they believed that that also was the desire of the Republicans in Congress. some of whom thought 1t was quite important that the present strained relations should not continue.

Mr. wu Talks.

washington, March 10.-Mr. Wu said tonight that he promptly informed his Government as soon as the United States turned over to him the Tientsin silver fund and the money was placed at It's disposal. An acknowledgement was re- ceived by telegraph. Not one cent of the fund. Mir. Wu said, could be misappro- priated. and if any portion of it were to he used for any purpose whatever this could be done only by the sanction of the Chinese Government The Minister-has not heard officially of the presentation of the memorial for his removal. but he treats the matter lightly. There is. he says. no foundation for the statement that he retained SS0.00o of the fund for repairs to the legation in Washington. He thinks the presentation of the memo rial to have been the work of some person acting under misapprehension or on some transformation.

Women and Exercise.

fShiiadefpnia Inquirer.
 Susan. countess of Malmesbury. is not of the opinion that the women of today are much different from their sisters of long ago. In a recent article which she contributes to an English periodical she seeks to rid the mind of the fallacy that outdoor exercise is a special attribute of Inc women of the present day. Our mothers and and-mothers, she reminds uss could sit a horse, wield a salmon rod and use an oar. We know, too, that Mary Queen of Scots could never keep her health unless she rode twenty or thirty miles a day. and that the ladies of her court accompanied her when she went out hawking. Both the women and the men of past days led forcedly lives. which were in the main quieter than ours. locomction being so much more expensive. fatiguiug and difficult.
 Many things which formerly were done at home by the mistress of the house and her maid servants are now best &C., complished elsewhere. We no longer brew. and do not often bake--at least, for the entire household. The doctor and the chemist of today are more reliable than those af the past; therefore the mother of the family does not find it necessary. or even advisable, to concoct the medi- cfnes Cor those about her.
 Certainly the principles and practice of today appear to have created a race of fine outstanding young women, many of whom leave their homes, where they have been loved and delicately nurtured. to follow their husbands. enduring all manner of hardships without complaint.
 Many of these women who have never done a days work in their lives go to the colonies. and what their hands find to d0 that they bravely undertake. Their mental training would have been of the wrong sort, indeed. had 1t not taught them khe dignity of the necessary labor of a woman for those she loves.

 Statistics collected by the National Councils of Women go to show that wo- men in Germany are asserting themselves with almost as much emphasis as in the United Staets. There are 1000 900 more women in the Empire than men There are 100000 spinsters between the ages of IT and 50. the total number of women between those ages being 110oo.O GOO Most of the srinsters are self-supporting.
 The census of 1895 showed 5.264, 4OS wage earners 24 per cent being engaged in commerce. It is interesting that 202. .0l6 women are put down as proprietors. managers or in leading positions The practical character of the German wo: mans mind appears in the fact that wo- men principals and managers are found in mining industries, iron brick. gas and electric works. There were 66 chemists in active business and 700 brewers. Under the code adopted January 1. l900, women may hold property and control their own earnings, but the husband Is still invest. cd with superior authority over the chiI- drep. It is the sars all over the world. In imperiallst Germany, republican America and all other societies women are to the fore. A widespread and pro- found csvse must be sought to explain d movement so universal.
