WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-with the ex-
pectation of being ready to. present to con-
gress at the opening OF its next session a
fabric of treaties between the United
States and Cuba, negotiations are pending
batween Mr.. Quesada, the Cuban minister,
and the State department with regard to
q commercial treaty, an extradltion treaty
and a treaty to adjust the title to the Isle
Of Pines.
? 1t is the purpose of Minister Quesada, II
is stated. to draw w the commercial treaty
on reciprocity lines. The fate~ OF such a
treaty will depend naturally on congress
sional action on the subject Of Cuban reci-
procity.
An extradition treaty between the United
States and Cuba already has been drafted.
The provision for the establishment OF civil
government in Cuba omitted the Isle OF
Pines from the constitutional boundaries
Of Cuba and left it's title to future dehni-

cided to leave the islands under the juris-
diction of the Cuban government until such

ing for H~Oumanian jews.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Germany has deter
mined not to associate itself in a formal
manner with the American and British
protests against Roumania's treatment OF
the Jews.
The German government adopts this attf-
tude, 1t is understood. independently OF
other continental powers, no agreemen.
having been reached In the matter among
the cabinets OF the continent. Germany
considers that other paraphrases besides
article Al of the very precise Berlin
treaty OF 1878 have not been insisted on.
For instance Roumanian forts have not
been RACED to the ground and Russia is
allowing Batoum to remain as 1t was be-
fore the treaty. This is not the time.
Germany thinks, to oblige Roumania to
observe any particular provision Of the
treaty. Besides, Germany, although sym
pathizing sincerely with the deplorsble
condition OF the Jews in Roumania, feels
unable to Interfere in an international
question.
Germans are large holders OF Roumanian
securities and an International storm over
the policy to which Premier Sturdza Of
Roumania is fully committed, might cause
his fall, and as a result Roumanian finances
would be withdrawn from his capable con-
troll. A heavy drop in ROumanian funds
would cause corresponding Losses here, The
representative OF the Associated Press in
Berlin is Informed that Germany believes
the moral strength Of the American and
British positions, in connection with the
very practical measures taken by great
financial houses, will induce Roumanla sub
~stantially to modify the rigors Of the trade
law. Germany may possibly supplement
these influences by private representations
made without taking part in collective action
should the other powers find a common
basis upon which to act. In German on
eial quarters there is not believed to be
the slightest possibility OF such collective
action being taken, Russia and Austria es-
p~eeially being determined not TO move in
the matter.

ference OF mighty America, How naive
these unhappy people are. eagerly reaching
for any straw promising them rescue. But
their jubilation has been Of short duration
The only effect the American note has
had so far is an order. according to The
Roumanian newspapers, that no more mi
grafton passports be issued without the
usual tax Of 81. 1t is even reported thai
no emigration passports will be granted.
The spirit Of the government is: We are
masters here Nevertheless It is disposed
TO be polite and considcrate toward the
United States. II intends to show this
by preventing emigration to the United
States.
There is much talk here about Yankee
arrogance but they laughed in their
sleeves so long as the American note was
without European support. But the news
that England had followed with a similar
step caused vexation. II the continental
powers act jointly It is possible that the
Roumanian Jewish question may become
acute. But the government has had much
experience in meeting protests in behalf Of
the Jews"

VIEWS ARE MADE BROADER
Result Of the National Convention Of
Employers and Employees Mt
Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sept. 25.-The ma
tional convention Of employers and en-
ployes came 10 an end this afternoon. Its
results have been a broadening OF the views
and knowledge Of those who attended and
the appointment Of a committee to arrange
a permanent organization.
The leaders. however, are disappointed
at the lack OF interest shown by the large
employers Of labor in the Twin Cities.
President Cyrus Northrup, who is presi-
dent Of the University Of Minnesota, ad-
verified to this in an address this morning.
in which he said that important interests
had declined to give the movement their
support, fearing it would cause unrest.
81 believe. though, said he, that the in
huence of this meeting is going to be for
the permanent peace OF Industrial forces in
the United States.

L. McVey Of the University Of Minnesota
and w. d. Wiman of Moline. ILL.,. we're
named as a committee to consider the
question OF permanent organization. Tho
first paper Of the morning was by Charles
dublin. University OF Chicago, on THE Re
lation Of the Public TO Capital and Labor"
He enumerated these four reasons why the
public is interested in industry:
l. Consumption Is the IOOl VI all pIO-
duction.
?. The captain Of industry lie Indirectly
the agent Of society.
3. The workingmah's standard Of living
determines the, character Of our ~civiliza-
ton.
4. The public may be expected to assume
certain industries for the proper satisfac-
ton Of human wants. Under the second
head he said: -"
The impudepce. of. the blasphemous and
inefficient representative of the anthracite
trust who proolaims himself the chosen of
God, would receive effective rebuke IL IL
were not that the natural resources of
America prevents a proper appreciation of
the attitude. of ANARCHISTS. who have been
granted by society the privilege OF owning
the anthracite coal beds.
w. c. Even, secretary-treasurer OF the
Minnesota Federation OF Labor. spoke Of
the future relations of labor and capital.
Friction, he said, was inevitable until
some plan was devised of bringing trusts
and labor organizations together and in
the present convention he saw the begin
ming Of such a plan.
The afternoon was devoted to discus
sions.
