Both Democrats and Republica ny
Threaten Measure for Cuba's Re-

Both Democrats and RepubIica ms
Threaten Measure for Cuba's Re-
lief.
Washington, April 4.-The Post to-
morrow win say:
Senator Plat of Connecticut the
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Cuba, yesterday received two notifica-
tons. One, from the Democratic side,
was to the effect that the minority pro-
posed to fight reciprocity at every
stage. and had formed compact or
ganization for that purpose. The
other came from prominent Republi-
he would offer an amendment to the
bill declaring that reciprocity should
be contingent upon the agreement by
the Cuban government to a treaty
with the United States, embodying the
text of the Plat amendment, the sem
ator putting this statement on the
ground that he feared the Cubans
after they had formed a government
would attempt to nullify the Plat
amendment.
Both notifications were the begin
ming of the fight that is to be made
in the Senate against the enactment
of the measure.
Senator Plat suggested that IL reel
procity was not to be enjoyed by Cuba
until a treaty had been signed and
ratified, it would postpone until next
winter the promised relief for the
islands.

NORFOLK AND RICHMOND.
Strike Renewed at Former Place to
BE Taken UD ia Latter-Lively
Times Are Ahead.

Norfolk, Va, April 4.-For the sec
ond time the strike of the motormen
and conductors of the Norfolk Railway
and Light Company is on. and if the
statement of facts as made by w. H.
Mullen, secretary of the Central Union
of Richmond, are carried out, there
will be a strike in Richmond to-mor
row of all of the Williams syndicate
employees, including the Williams
Traction Company, light and gas plant
Several days ago the car men met and
declared the strike off, although the
boycott of the Central Labor Union
has never been lifted. This afternoon,
after a lengthy session, the strikers
declared they would fight the company
as a body. This was because of the
fact that General Manager Johnston,
of the railway company, refused to
put back to work the men whose names
were submitted to him several days
ago.
The officials of the car company de-
clare they will not give in and if the
strike in Richmond is on, trouble will
follow.
Mr.. Mullen, secretary of the Rich
mond trades and labor council, has
been here two days. He came TO
bring financial assistance to the strik-
ers. He addressed the strikers this
afternoon and gave them many words
of encouragement. The strike here
only affects about 300 employees, but
three times that number will be called
out in Richmond if the words of Sec
rotary Mullen are true. Mr.. Mullen
was formerly president of the State
Federal alton of Trades and is prominent
in labor circles. The strikers have
gained heart since the meeting this
afternoon and declare they will stand
firm. There will probably be another
conference tomorrow and develop
ments are awaited with interest.

Importers to Take Advantage OF
LoOphole offered by Danish
Treaty.
Washington, April Accompanies are
coming into the treasury department
that large quantities of merchandise,
particularly rice, is being brought into
the Danish West Indian ports in the
expectation of being able to ship it into
the United States after the ratification
of the treaty of cession, free of duty.
The ports of the islands are free ports,
and hence goods landed there are not
subject to customs duties. 1t is point
ed out that after the ratification of the
treaty and before Congress takes ac-
ton to prevent it, all goods shipped
from the islands to this country or
Porto Rico must be admitted duty free.
Therefore shipload of valuable Ha-
vana tobacco might now be sent to st.
Croix, and if reshipped to Tampa or
another near by United States
port after the ratification and
before congressional action, it must
be admitted free of duty.

Washington, April 4-Strong infiu-

half of the appointment of r. d. Van
Dyke to the Rome postmastership, and
the old lines between the Republican
factions in Georgia are likely to be
drawn. The regular organization has
given it's Endorsement to T. ]. Helm,
who has been assistant postmaster, but
Maj. Hanson is understood to favor
Van Dyke, who also has other strong
elements in his support. From pres
ent indications, the contest is between
these two men and nobody else is in
it. The charge is made by Republicans
here that Van Dyke is Democrat and
makes no pretense of being anything
else, and they are confident no Dem
ocrat will be named when a Republic
can of standing is applying for the
office.
