There were Mosques and dominoes,
ghosts and COLLINS, black cats and
broomsticksk; little red "divvles" (min-

imps; while the head witch of them all,
arrayed in hieraglyphics, with her maid
OF honor, received the homage of her

stalks and further adorned with golden
pumpkins and other bright-hued pro-
ducts of the vegetable kingdom.
The grand march through the wide
open door .tr the middle of the broad
room, under the electric lights, to the
throne, was a sight worth seeing, and
the witches dance, which followed, not
less so-the music Of the piano being
very inspirfting.
The sudden entrance. Of a beWitched
stud created quite diversion in the

AMERICAN NATIGATION.
Annual Report shows Doeumsnted
Tonnage Largest in U. $. History.

Tonnage Largest i'm U. $. History.
Washington. Nov. 4.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner Of navigation
shows that on June 30, 1902, the docu-
mented tonnage of the United States
was the largest in our history, compris-
ing 24273 vessels Of 5.797. 1902 gross tons.
The increase over last year is almost
wholly in large steel steamers. In ten
years the number of American. British
and German square rugged vessels has
decreased so per cent.
American vessels carried 8.S per cent.
of our exports and imports, compared
with SO per cent. in 1901.
The outlook for steel shipbuilding in
the United States for the current fiscal
year is not so promising as last year.
On July /, 1902, there were building or
under contract in the United States
347. 900 tons of steel merchant vessels.
Receipts from tonnage taxes amount
ed to $S6S, 1874. of which only $6S,173 was
paid by American vessels.
The report prints at length the
amount of the transatlantic merger,
and its fleet of over 100000 tons and
says: The organization of so great a
navigation company under American
auspices is, however, the most import
ant step toward the establishment of
the influence of Americans on the
ocean. The relation of the merger to
the trade of the United States will be
exceptional, the only parallel being the
relations of the two great German lines
to Germany's commerce"
Continuing, the report says; THE pol
icy of subsidies is the only method at
the present time by which American
built steamers with American crews
can obtain any considerable share of
foreign trade"
The repeal of compulsory pilotage on
sail vessels in the coasting trade and
minor changes in the navigation laws
are recommended.

tempts introduced by Town Chairman

a short speech in which he thanked one

had aided in his election. He said that
it would again be his honest effort to fill
the office to the satisfaction and benefit
Of the people.

West of Kalispell Mont, to. cite one ex-
ample of the way Mr. Hill is making
Great Northern dividends possible, it IS
claimed by labor leaders that section en-
ployes are paid only $24 per month, and
that gradually Japs are taking the place
of whites in this field. More than one
half of these section men, outside OF fore
men, between Kalispell and the coast, are
said to be Japs. Northern Pacific en-
ployes generally express the very Lively
fear that Mr.. Hill intends to scale them
down to the Great Northern basis, hence
their desire that some word be spoken 10

From this view of the situation 1T may
be readily seen that the merger, pelore
everything about it has been settled, may

on organized labor, which may be brought
actively into the lists in opposition TO II.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Walter Wellman, in
Washington special to the Record
presidency In 1904 dined together at the
White House last night One was Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the host, and the other
was Lieutenant General Miles, one Of the
guests at the diplomatic dinner.
General Miles is now an open candidate
for presidential honors. He has long had
an inclination in that direction, but since
he was reprimanded by the president for
his interview on the Schley case the COM
handing general of the army has made
little If any concealment Of his intention
to win the democratic nomination two
years hence. If he can. S5S.s
He is actively playing his cards with
that end in view. In fact, The decision OF
Admiral schley to appeal his esse to the
president is said on good authorl to be
a part Of the Miles program toSsembar-
rass Mr.. Roosevelt The national capt.
tai is fu1I 81 most lssss gossip con-
corning this latest phaka OF fhe Celebrated
controversy and the plans Of General
Miles to make "a political issue Of the
Schley case with himself as the central
figure. General Miles would like to be
nominated for president in 1904, with
either Schley or Dewey as his running
mate. He believes ticket reading Miles
and Schley or Miles and Dewey would
bring victory against President. .Roose-
welt or any other man the republicans
could put up. "
General Miles is very much in earnest
in his candidacy for the presidency. He
talks of little else to his intimate friends
and already by anticipation is enjoying
a victory over the president, who dared
administer to him severe public repri-
mand.
On account of this known political am.
bition of the head of the army there Is
some surprise that General and Mrs
Miles are guests of the president at the
diplomatic dinner. The presence Of Gen.
eral Miles at the presidents table so sooI
after the famous reprimand has been con-
strued in some quarters as an indication
that Mr.. Roosevelt regrets his action II
censuring the general and is trying tt
hold uot the olive branch with this invi
tation to dinner. There is no warrant
for this assumption.
The invitation to General and Mrs
Miles to the diplomatic dinner was sen
out at least ten days before the repri.
1nanding incident. OF course the presi
dent could not recall it after it had beer
accepted.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 10-The rumor Of a

by the question OF the presidential sue

washington, Jan. 10.-The vexed ques-
ton of concessions to Cuba is in fair
way for settlement by mutual agreement
beet interests have practically decided to
adjust their differences automatically,
rather than permit them to come to legis-
lative battle, in which the adherents of
both sides might be in some danger
politically. The beet sugar people realize
complete obstruction, even if they had
power to make it, would mean Cuban an
nexation, and so kill their goose. The
cane peaple, on the other hand, dread the
prostrating effects of delay and enormous
dangers of financial panic in Cuba just
as the new government is beginning to
work. They accordingly are willing to
accept as compromise something less
than they think they deserve in order to
bridge over the present exigencies.
The compromise plan, and canvass on
both sides indicates that, in spite Of some
bitter remonstrances, it will be success
full, is substantially this: It is proposed
to allow drawback for one year, and
that the canendar year of 1902, on all
molasses and raw sugar, up to No. 16
Dutch standard. imported from Cuba,
and the growth of that island, to the
United States of SO per cent Of the exist
ing duties. This drawback would be paid
to Cuban plantation owners on such OF
their products as found market here
The other Cuban products during the
same period are to come In at duties OF
SO per cent Of the existing rates. remis-
sion to be direct instead Of by drawback
In return for this concession to Cuba
the president, is directed to publish a
temporary tariff law for Cuba, granting
preferential rates to our products. The
Outstanding would be that after the
independent government is fully estab.
l1shed Cuba would, of it's own motion
continue the same rates.
This is the general plan, although the
rate is subject to modification. Most Of
the beet sugar people think 1t too high
but are willing to yield to the principle
involved. Their great victory will be il
getting a drawback, inst cad of bounty OF
direct tariff remission, and in securing {
one-year lmitati ion. The bounty project
considered a few weeks ago, threatens tt

unattractive sound. The beet people die

regard it as highly important to main

the considerations that make the com
