Staff Correspondence of the Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec G.. = President
Roosevelt was in jolly mood this MORN
ing when he walked into his cabinet room
and found several senators and representa-
tives there. Senators Depew and o. H.
Platt and Representative c. B. Landis, Of
Indiana, were among the number. Mr..
Lands was in the extreme rear portion of
the apartment, but the President saw him
and called to him across the heads of the
others.
Good morning. Landis," he remarked
jovially. Have you come here after an
other judgeship?"
Mr.. Lands replied that he had not and
that his presence at the White House was
to thank the President for the appoint
ment of Mr. Anderson.
Following up his first sally, the President
again turned to Mr.. Lands. This reminds
me- he said, 'of the reporter who called
on Seth Low, of New York, one morning.
Mr.. Low had the day before given Colum-
bia University a donation of 100000. The
following morning a reporter of New
York paper called on him.
"'Good morning. the newspaper man re-
marked when Mr.. Low came in. I've
called to see whether you have any addi-
tional donations for Columbia University
to-day"
The congressman in the President s
cabinet room appreciated the joke and there
was a hearty laugh.

1t Is announced that the President will
soon nominate a member of the Board of

would therefore be binding upon all parties

The Treasury Department to-day took
further action in the De. Baum case which
has ben hanging fire for some time. and
which grew out of the charges against
former Revenue Collector Henry. of the
Terre Haute district. The charge was that
political assessments had been collected
and in the investigation of the same a
young man named Self. connected with the
office, was discharged by the government
because he declined to conduct himself as
the government thought he should on the
witness stand and in his manner of answer
ing questions. Based on evidence brought
out at this trial the Civil Service Commits
sion some time ago recommended that De
Baum be discharged from service at the
Terre Haute office. At the time the recon-
mendation was made TO the Treasury De-
partment Secretary Shaw was out of the
city and nothing has since been done in
the matter until to-day, when formal
charges We're made and De Baum was noti-
fed that he would have five days in which
to answer the charges against him. Rep
resentative Holiday, of the Fifth district,
said tonight that he did not think De
Baum had been guilty of an offense suffi-
cient to cause his discharge from the serv-
ice and did not think he would be dis
missed. Holiday said he proposed to pro-
test to the best of his ability against such
action on the part of the department.

Not a Treaty, Merely n Protocol.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-It is learned
that the document which General Bliss
and the two Cuban commissioners are ex-
pected TO sign in Havana next Monday is
really a protocol, giving the outlines of a
reciprocity treaty which will be acceptable
to the governments of the United States
and Cuba. This will come to Washington
and here Secretary Hay and Minister
Quesadaf will frame and sign a formal
treaty giving effect to the projects con-
tanned in the protocol. General Bliss has
hit upon plan whereby the United States
can be given preferential rate in the
proposed treaty without encountering the
objection that this would be in violation
of the favored nation clauses in Cuba s
treaties with other powers. yet TO be made,
by having the treaty he has just framed

imports from the United States. then hav-
ing the Cuban Congress pass another tar
if act raising duties from 10 to so per cent.
