E Washington, Jan. 2.-The Cubans have
not helped their appeal to congress for
lations with the United States by their
one-sided election. The reports from Ha-
vana indicate that the followers of Gen.
Bartolome Maso did not vote. This is
what has been feared by the war depart
ment and by senator's and representatives
most anxious to settle the Cuban question.
The Latin race in Cuba, as in Central
America states, do not know how to sub
NIT their differences to the peaceful Ver-
dict Of the majority. Their weakness is
for settlement by force. The Cuban cleo
ton was looked upon as test or the Gu
bans qualification for independence, and
had there been peaceful and well-at- :
tended election. it, would have done much
to help the Cubans' cause in congress.
The election appears to have been peace
full enough, but the absence of the Maso
party from the polls is regarded as an
indication that they will set up the claim
that there was fraud and intimidation in
this first Cuban election.
= When General MaSO saw indications of
the success of General Palma he appealed
to the war department for postpone
ment of the election, alleging trickery and
conspiracy. or course, Secretary Root de-
clined to change the date of the elect ion,
and the managers Of Maso advised their
followers to refrain from voting. If this
advice has been followed, as Is indicated
N the dispatches from Havana and San
tiago. it will not add to the American con-
fidence in the Cuban qualification for in
dependent government. There are two
more elections to be held in Cuba before
the new government can be inaugurated
The electors to elect senators will meet
Feb. 10. and those to elect a president will
meet Feb. "a. These two bodies of elect
ors are so numerous and so free to act on
their own Judgment that had there been
close contest yesterday there might
have been uncertainty as to the success of
General Palma until after the election of
Feb "a.
The members of congress will want to
know more about the elections in Cuba
and Willingness Of the minority to abide
by the result Of this first general election.
before they authorize the president to
withdraw the United States troops and
hand over the administration of the island
% General Palma and the congress to be
chosen. This question as to when Cuban
government is to be inaugurated has not
yet been settled, and if there should fol-
low this election any demonst rations by
Cubans indicative of unwillingness to &C
cept it as final such demonstra tons will
increase the fear Of congress to order the
withdrawal of troops and the recognition
or the Cuban government. No reciprocity
Will be given to Cuba until it is known
that there Is government there to recip-
rocate. II the Cubans cannot organize a
government congress will have to adopt
some other means of aiding the commerce
OF the island while it remains under our
control.

Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute of Chicago charter.
There was need of something above the ordt-
nary method of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted it by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them we'll and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes of its establishment under
the benefcient laws Of the State.s
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,

PRIMARY ELECTION STEP
Svveeley of Sioux City Leaves for Des

the Bill.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. 2.-Representa-
tive-elect M. B. Sweeley left to-day for
Des Moines to meet the new speaker, w.
l.. Eaton, and to attend the caucuses Fri
day night
Mr.. Sweeley stated he would probably
introduce a bill providing for nominations
by primary elections. The measure has
been discussed a good deal about the
state and meets with general favor. The
difficulty arises in the fact that in Wood
bury, Scott, Polk, Pottawattomie, Lee,
Dubuque, Clinton, Linn and Des Moines
counties, all Of which have two represent
tatives, it has been the. custom to give
the large city one representative and the
country districts the other. For this rea-
son some of the representatives believe
the primary systems should be made to
apply only to the clues. Others believe
the difficulty could be avoided by continu-
ing the tacit understanding that the rep
resentation is to be divided. .
The primary system has been used sue
cessfully for years in Polk, Story, Ring
gold, Louisa and few other counties.

Paris, ILL.,, Jan. 2.-With chains pad
locked to his ankles and the other ends
attached to staples in the floor of
his room, William Donnehy of the Town
of Kansas, is obeying a smallpox quar-
antine order he had persist ed in ignoring.
This novel method of quarantine was
adopted by Mayor James H. Steele after
Donnehey had left home, where his son
was sick with smallpox, in defiance of the
order OF the authorities. Donnehey went
through the town, although forbidden to
leave the house, and the mayor could find
no other way to prevent him from ex-
posing citizens to the disease. The chains,
two in number, are long enough to permit
Donnehey to walk around little or to
lie down on a cot, but he cannot reach
the walls of his room and he cannot free
himself The mayors order is to keep the
shackles on until the quarantine on the
house is raised.
