TARIFF CONCESSIONS IN CUBA.
A Conference With Secretary Root
on the Subject.

Senator Platt OF Connecticut and Rep
resentative Russell of the same State, a
member of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, called upon Secretary Root yesterday
at the War Department and discussed at
some length the proposed tariff conces-
sions for Cuba. Mr.. Russell is firmly of
the opinion that whatever tariff conccs-
sions are made to Cuba should be accom-
panied by similar legislation for the
Philippines.
He is opposed to the policy of favoring
the Cuhans and not giving the Filipinos
the same benefits. He believes there is
strong disposition in Congress to carry
this question through. and that the Off
cials favoring reciprocal trade relations
with Cuba will be brought to see that the
same relations must be granted to the
Filipinos.
This view is not held by Senator Platt
or Secretary Root, who do not believe
that the Cuban situation should be cou-
pied with the situation in the Philippines.
The War Department officials insist that
it is a matter of life or death with the
Cubans, and that the situation is so dis
tressing that only the United States is
able to relieve the impending ruin of
Cuba by reciprocal trade relations;
whereas no such situation makes action
in behalf CT the Philippines absolutely
necessary at this time.

Maryland Hon ors scbley,
While the whole country is ebullient
with popular enthusiasm for Schley, this
is his native State, anu Maryland has
persistently arrogated to itself The
premier right TO lead in the shouting for
the much abused hero of Santiago Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, whites and coiored. of
all nationaiities, races, sexes. ages. and
conditions vie with each other in insist
ing that the great wrong done to Mary
lands hero" shall be righted
This universal feeling in this State has
already been given definite expression by
the Introduction by Senator Brewington
CT a joint resolution extending the thanks
of the people to Admiral Schley for de-
stToying Cervera's s fleet and providing for
the presentation to him of $1,000 silver
service, bearing an inscription which rec
ogniZes him as commanding the United
States squadron at Santiago during the
battle of July 3, 1888" This measure was
submitted by Senator Brewington after
an understanding with the majority
managers in the Senate and House. and
there is no doubt that it will be placed
upon the statute books as the official ex-
preston OF Marylands confidence in her
gallant son whose prowess had filled the
world with his fame.
Legislative Notes.
On next Tuesday, as required by the
constitution, both branches will begin
nd In
will take only one ballot to settle a ques-
ton which is no longer vexed. Mr.. German
will have 4 walk-over.
The anti boss feeling is already SO ap-
parent here as to make it quite certain
that the managers will find it no easy
task to keep the slim Democratic major
ity in line The spirit of independence
is abroad.
The executive mansion is now open. and
Governor Smith and his charming wife
and daughter, Mrs. Reuben Foster. jr.,
will give series of hospitable enter
tainments during the session
At the last regular session of the Legis-
lature a law was passed which requires
every person who comes to the capital to
influence legislation" to register as a
lobbyist. So far there have been no
registrations, though the lobbyist is in
evidence. The law, in all likelihood will
prove to be dead letter.
The Senate has already given an earn
est of its purposes to do business prompt
iy, by adopting a closure rule which will
cut off debate Illuminated for purely dila-
tory reasons.
A formal measure is now being pre-
pared which will place Maryland in line
with those States that have declared In
favor of the election of United States
Senators by popular vote. A B.

BLOOD-VESSEL

Causing Hemorrhage of the
Brain of Lewis Petticord.
HE CANNOT LIVE LONG
He Has Sold Oil and Gasoline
in Wichita for Years.
IE CANNOT LIVE LONG

Lewis Petticord, a tank man of the
Standard Oil company. broke a blood
vessel in his brain about $50 yesterday
morning, at 2os West Douglas avenue.
and is now lying at his home, 446 North
Mosley avenue, with hemorrhage Of the
brain. and it is but Slight chance that
he will live.
For a number Of years Mr.. Petticord
has driven a wagon for the Standard Oil
company, and was making his rounds
yesterday morning when he drove up in
the alley behind the saloon at 2OS West
Douglas avenue. He filed the wagon
can and went inside to fiji the gasoline
can of the private lighting plant of the
saloon, and just as he had finished filling
this can, was taken with cramps of the
stomach, and it is supposed that during
this strain the blood vessel was broken.
causing the flooding of one of the ventri-
cles of the brain.
He became unconscious and was taken
&c his home. and throughout the day was
at the point of death. and the end was
expected at any moment during the night
He rallied some under treatment. but the
physicians have given the family no hope
that he can live. although they are using
everything in their power 10 save him.
Mr. Petticord has lived IN this county
about sixteen years, and for the past six
years in this city, and working for the
Standard Oil company. He has been de-
livering oil and gas to a large number of
customers in the city during the greater
part of that time. He was very popular
with all of his patrons and held in the
highest regard by every one of his ac-
quaintances. The physicians have stated
that the inhaling of the gas has poisoned
his system. and all of the past summer
his health has been very poor. and tAis
stands in the way of his recovery. When
he fell to the floor OF the saloon Drs.
Cave and Hutchinson and DR.. W. A.
Minick, the family physician, were tele-
phoned for, but they were very doubtful
that his life could be saved, but as long as
there was breath the doctors continued
their treatment and DR.. Minick has spent
most of the day at the home attending
him.
Mr.. Petticord was born in North Caro-
Ina thirty-six years ago. and came from
that state to Kansas after short visits
with his brother in Indiana. He has four
brothers living in North Carolina and one
living near Wichita. He has a family,
and for the past two years has resided at
446 North Mosley avenue.
At midnight it was reported that there
was no change in ar. Petticords condi-

LOW RATES
FROM OKLAHOMA
One Fare for Round Trip for
Reunion Week.
ALL TERRITORIAL POINTS
Are Affected by the Announce
ment Made Yesterday.

The local reunion association yesterday
received letter from c. NJ. Pratt. chair
man OF the Southwestern Passenger as
sociation, at st. Louis. saying that all
railroads entering Wichita from ali ok
lshoma points would sell round trip tick
cts from any point in Oklahoma or the
Indian Territory for one fare for the
round trip TO Wichita on account of the
state G. A R. reunion and the EXPOSE
ton and carnival.
The matter of securing this same rate
from points in western Missouri has
been taken up with the association and
the committee expect to hear from them
ir a few days.
The announcement Of low rates from
Oklahoma points makes it assured that
Wichita will have the largest crowd ever
in the city during the week. The tick
cts are to go on sale the Sunday before
the reunion and Will continue in effect
until the next Monday. thus enabling
the people to spend the entire week at
me camp grounds in the city or at the
fair. and not making 1t necessary for
them to return until the full week is
ended. Every post in Oklahoma and the
state encampment Endorsed the Kansas
reunion and asked all who could attend
the reunion at Wichita and many inqui-
ries have been received from Oklahoma
points in regard to rates and accommo-
dations. and the indications at the pres
ent time are that there never has been
as large a crowd of old soldiers and
others in Wichita at one time, and every
one here for the purpose of having
good time. and this they win surely
have, for the week will be filed with

ritude Of this production has ever been
attempted in Kansas. and it may be add
ed that those who desire to avoid the
crowds Will do so to some extent if they
attend the great spectacle either Monday
or Tuesday night, for there is small likli-
