CUBAN OPPONENTS
HAVE MAJORITY

WASHINGTON. March "A confer
ence of about fifty stalwart opponents
of tariff revision met this afternoon
in committee room at the Capitol and
canVassed the situation. After elimi-
mating doubtful men the whips in
charge of the count announced that
l09 Republicans stood ready to fight
and vote against any reduction or tink-
ering with the agricultural tariff sched-
uleS.
AS there are 1879 Republicans in the
House, the friends of beet sugar and
other home industries have fair
working majority in opposing any spe-
cial concession to Cuba or any other
foreign country.
Representative William a. Smith of
Michigan had an extended CONVERSE
ton with the President today on the
Cuban situation. He suggested to the
President that no action was now nee
eSsary by the United States, inaSmuch
as Cuba will be relieved by the action
of the Brussels conference.
The President did not agree at all
with Smith, and said he stood just
where he had stood before. He did not
credit the action of the Brussels con-
ference with as much Importance as
Smith assigned to it.
BRUSSELS, March 5.-The Interna-
tIonal Sugar Conference convention
was signed today.
WASHINGTON. March 5.-United
States Minister Townsend. at Brussels.
il is the understanding that
the Conferees have agreed to abolish
bounties on beet sugar and to adopt
a uniform customs tariff on imports
Of sugar Of S1.16 per 220 pounds, or
about half cent a pound.

and filing a box with rags, put the
snake in it and buried the box three
feet deep.
He has had Dan1 for three years
and each season when the cold weather
sets in ''cashes" him until spring again
clothes the leafess trees and life again
is tolerable for snakes.
1t was under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances that Andy acquired Dan
and adopted him for Daniels good. As
Andy tells it, he was going through
his wood land wheD & rabbit ran past
him so rapidly that he could hardly
tell what the creature was. Close be-
hind the rabbit came the snake.
One hundred yards away the thought
must have struck the rabbit that its
only salvation was in the man, for Andy
says it made a Loop and, to his amaze
ment, squatted between his feet. And
the snake, not to be robbed of its din
ner, turned and came at Andy full
tilt.
When the snake reached Andy's legs
he recovered from his astonishment.
He caught the reptile by the back of
the neck and carried it home.
In a year or so it had become so
gentle that it knew its name. and
would jump through a hoop. 1t fol
lows Andy like a dog. and all summer
long sleeps on his feet at night.
Dan has never voted vet.
