OUTLOOK FOR CUBAN TREATY.
Prospect That rs Per Cent Tariff Re
duction Will Go Through.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Havana, Cuba, Thursday, says: If the
Cuban reciprocity treaty, as now proposed,
comedies a % per cent reduction in tariff
duties there is a strong probability of its &C
ceptance by President Palma and the SEN
ate.
Secretary of State Zaldo and Secretary of
the Treasury Monies, the commission on the
part of the Cuban government to negotiate
the treaty, submitted five objections. Three
of these are conceded by the United States.
The fourth relates to Porto Rican coffee,
and 1t is thought can be conceded by the
United States without difficulty. This leaves
only the question of the amount of reduc-
ton in the United States tariff. If the pro-
posed 20 per cent is increased to % per cent,
President Palma will likely send the treaty
to the senate for ratification.
The embarrassment of the Cuban Situa-
tion is leSsening. Gen. Bliss is fastening
negotiations. Harmonious relations are not
likely to cease to exist between Cuba and
the United States.
The Platt amendment party was defeated
yesterday in the Cuban house of represen-
tatives on the bill to establish war and
a navy department. Danger of friction
with foreign countries is apparently lessen
ing.

P. F. dunno TO MARRY.
Author TO Mr.. Dooley Talks Soon to
Be a Benedict

The New York World of today says: Mr..
Dooley," a bridegroom-elect and New
Yorker-thats the news that went back to
Archey Road to astound Mr.. Hennessey
an tn byes." yesterday.
1t was all a great secret until the sly
Dooley sometimes known as Finley Peter
Dunno had bought the ring and hired a
fine house in West Both street, where he can
hear the hansoms passing 9Th avenue Then
he let the news slip back to the deserted
Hennessey and the old friends at the store.
It's a real romance and Miss Margaret
Abbott, the bride-elect, is Mr.. Dooley's boy
hood sweetheart. She is living here in New
York with her mother now, but the begin
ming of the romance was when she was a
young girl in Chicago. Since that time she
has become a clever and successful artist
and Mr.. Dooley" has become a famous
writer of books that nearly everybody
reads.
Miss Abbott is the daughter of Mrs. Mary
Abbott, a widow, and she made her home
for several years in Paris. There she was
well known in literary and artistic circles,
and few months ago she won prize in
the woman's handicap game at the inter-
national golf match there.
1t will be, big surprise to the friends
of Miss Abbott and Mr.. Dunno when the
news of their engagement is announced.
She was prominent in social circles in Chi
mother. and, although Mr.. Dunno was as
siduous in his attentions, nobody suspected
him of matrimonial intentions.
When he slipped off to Paris nobody sus-
pected the attraction. The willy Dunno said
it was for rest and the ocean voyage, but
it is said he spent most of his time in Paris.
and when he came back he began to make
arrangements to live in New York.
Miss Abbott and her mother have been
living here for several months now, and the
wedding, the date for which has not been
announced, will take place in this city.
Mr.. Dunno is already New Yorker, re-
siding in apartments at the Lorimer 80
West 59th street. Last Wednesday it be-
came known that he had leased the three
story and basement house at 80 West Both
street, and this it was that led to the dis
covery of his romance.
Miss Abbott is unusually pretty young
woman, tall and of the blonde type. She
is distinctly athletic and before she left
Chicago she achieved local reputation as a
skillful golf player. Her mother was well
known in Chicago literary circles, and Miss
Abbott had won a name for herself as an
illustrator and inventor of chldrens games.
Her picture was printed in a well-known
magazine as a type of American beauty"

Tariff Bill.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Scenes of great uproar and disorder re-
suited in the reichstag. today from a mo-
ton. introduced by the leaders of the CEN
ter national liberal and the two conserya-
tive parties, providing for taking a vote
on the tariff as a whole. Baron Kardorff
offered the motion, which was greeted with
laughter by the socialists and radicals,
whereupon the baron remarked:
Gentlemen, you have driven us to this
course"
The socialist speakers and Herren Rich
ter and Barth commended that the motion
was contrary to the rules of the house.
President Ballestrem admitted he was in
doubt on the question raised and declined
to decide on the admissibility of the mo-
ton, leaving the matter for the house to
decide after a full discussion.
During the debate on the rules the So
cialists created great disorder. Herr An
trick and others shouted "Pickpockets,"
and Herr Ulrich, who repeatedly inter
rupted the speakers, was called TO order
three times. the conservatives shouting
Put him out" Further discussion was

FEARS FOR THE BANNoCKBURN
Canadian Steamer Thought to Be Lost
on Lake Superior.

Marine underwriters are inclined to give
the Canadian steamer Bannockburn up for
lost on Lake Superior. 1t was reported to
them that the missing steamer had been
passed last Friday by the steamer Algon-
quin. about fifty miles southeast of Pas
sage Island and northeast of Keweenaw
Point. That would bring the Bannockburn
well out into Lake Superior, right in the
track of vessels. Since that time nothing
has been heard of the steamer
1t Is supposed the steamer had stranded
on Caribou Island. The Canadian govern
ment discontinued that important light
about week ago for the season. With
the stormy weather prevailing it is sun
posed that the crew could not have got
word to the shore. The Montreal Trans
portation Company, owner of the Bannock-
burn. sent out tugs from Sault Ste Marie
to search the north shore of Lake SUPERIOR
in the hope of getting some trace of her
Bannockburn carries a crew of twenty men
and ship and cargo are worth 100000.

Discovery of Oil on Surface of River
Produces Excitement.
Correspondence of The Evening Star


EVANSVILLE, Nd, Nov IS, 1902.
The discovery of oil floating on the East
ern branch yesterday morning at East Hy-
attsville caused great excitement among
the people. A gentleman who was crossing
the bridge spanning the stream on his way
to Hyattsville yesterday morning detected
the odor and looking at the stream saw
oil of a dark blue color covering the water
as it flowed toward Bladensburg. He
looked up and down the stream and saw
oil as far as his eye could reach.
Mr.. Robb. Mr. Prosser and others discov-
cred oil on the mill race yesterday morning
Mr.. William ]. Sullivan, while hunting for
game yesterday, followed the stream from
East Hyattsville to Riverdale and said he
saw oil on the water the entire distance
between the two villages, and that the
stream was covered with 1t from bank to
bank. A number of dead fish found in the
branch below the East Hyattsvile bridge
served to confirm the report that the oil
was coming down the stream
Oil was discussed yesterday more than
was the Thanksgiving turkey and a decid-
ed opinion is entertained by the, people that
oil can be found in the neighborhood. A
prospecting party will start out this morn
ing to locate the source of the fluid seen
upon the surface OF the river The oil is
still floating on the branch today.

Riot at Newark Theater

A dispatch from Newark. N. J.. last night
says: Because the ticket seller in the box
office at Proctor's Theater, at Park place
and Canal street, Newark, oversold the
seats in the house last night, there was q
riot inside the theater which for a time
threatened to cause loss of life Serious
trouble was averted only by the arrival,
on the run, of the entire reserve force of
police of the first precinct, headed by Capt.
Cosgrove.
The police found the theater damned to
the doors with a seething crowd, angry
or terrorized, packed SO closely that wo-
men and children were crushed. The
screams of the injured and the angry de-
mands of hundreds for seats that were not
to be had caused pandemonium to reign.

Is irrevocaby set in his desire for bridge
with an unbroken skyline, but the officials
of the War Department desire to have a
full personal conference with him on the
subject in the light of the criticisms of his
plan by bridge experts before final action
is taken on the plans for the highway
bridge. If Secretary Root, with the assent
of Mr.. Burnham, finally decides in favor of
the bridge with polygonal upper chords de-
signed by the army engineers it is probable
that the railroad company will be permit
ted to adhere to the original design for it's
bridge, with the result that the two bridges
will have distinctive appearance, with the
continuous skyline feature absent from
each.

The grass is green and the nesting song
or birds that build In the tree is heard;
The wind bears the scent OF the soil along
From fields which the pillow has lately STIR
red.
Soft sunbeams slant DER the shelving banks
With kiss OF love for the stream below;
And, marshaled near, in their crowding ranks
The swaying stems Of the cat-tails grow.
One cloud climbs the sky IT'S good ship
bound
For the distant ports Of another world.
A breeze brings breath OF the dreamy sound
OF water that back from her PROV is curled.
hawk sails high in the hazy blue,
Which seems to open above the pond
TO let the light Of the glory through
From land which lies but step beyond.
Snch days will dawn in the dim to be.
And 1 shall remember or half recall
How my slumberous soul was stirred In me
To-day by the beauty that lowered all.
How came to feel that the world l knew
Was only the place where I paused fol-
breath,
For completer things that the soul should dc
So lie full length on grassy mound,
crowd me close to the soft green sod,
And joy in the beauty OF all around;
The beauty OF earth. the glory OF God.
