In my message to the present congress

this is in no wise inconsistent with pow

national action. Our aim is not to do

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
President Insists the Island should

hope soon to submit to the senate a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba. On May 20
last the United States kept its promise to
the island by formally vacating Cuban soil
and turning Cuba over to those whom her
own people had chosen as the first officials
of the new republic.
Cuba lies al our doors, and whatever af-
fects her for gooG or for i'll affects us also.
So much have our people felt this that in
the Plat amendment We definitely took the
ground that Cuba must hereafter have
closer political relations with us than with
any other power. Thus in sense Cuba
has become part of our international no
litical system. This makes it necessary
that in return she should be given some OF
the benefits of becoming part OF our eco
nomic system. il is, from our own stand
point, short-sighted and mischievous pol
ley to fail to recognize this need. More.

question; but OF course if in any case
ii be found that u given rate of duty
does promote u monopoly which WORKS
ill, no protectionist would object to such
reduction OF the duty as would equallze

In my judgment, the tariff on anthra-

cite put actually, where it now is nom

no effect at all save in crises; but in
cr:ses it might be of service to the peo-

Needed Financial Legislation.
Interest rates are a potent factor IN
business ACTIVITY, and in order that these
rateS maybe equaliZed to meet the vary
ing needs of the seasons and OF wiuely
the recurrence of financial strngencleS
which injuriously affect legitimate bust

an element OF elasticity in our monetary

OF commerce, ana upon them should be
placed, as lar as practicable, the burden
OF furnishing and maintaining a circu-
lation adequate TO supply the needs of
our diversified Industries and of our do
mestic and foreign commerce.; and the
issue of this should be so regulated that
a sufficient supply should be always
available for the business interests OF
the country.
1t would be both unwise and unneces-

should be employed in lieu of war to settle
difficulties between civilized nations, al
though as yet the world has not progressed
sufficiently to render II possible, or .neces-
Sarily desirable, to invoisa arbitration in

and William Bolton were arrested
yesterday, charged with robbing John
J. Watson, a discharged soldier from
Fort Yellowstone, of $25. They were
given a hearing before Judge Bender
this afternoon and fined $500 each. In
default of payment they We're commit
ted to the county Jail to serve out
the fine at s. a day. Watson came
to Livinston a day or two ago with
final papers and cash in his pockets
amounting to about $500. He tried to
get the vouchers cashed here, but was
unsuccessful. During his wanderings
around town he fell in with Prell,
whom he had known while the latter
was serving in the army. Prell, learn
ing that Watson had money, introduce
ed him to William Bolton, a gambler.
The men visited a number of saloons
around town. and became very init
mate. 1t was finally agreed by the
three that they so into the saloon
business. Watson was to furnish the
money to purchase the Sixteen to
One. saloon on Main street. .Prell
and Bolton finally got Watson help

ton they put him in the back room

stole the soldiers pocketbook, contain
ing $25, and divided the money with
Bolton.
The transaction was witnessed by
w. H. Ringle, a timer, who was work
ing on the roof of an adjoining build
ing, and who saw the robbery through

from O'Neill, Neb., says engineers Of
the Great Northern are surveying a

and began work in both direction. j.
B. Van SICKLE, a close friend of Abel

If what Mr.. Van SICKLE says is true,
there will be developments in western

stated that at a conference recently
held in New York among the money
powers strong efforts were made to
shut off this line, which will give the
Northern Pacific people a short line
from Minneapolis. st. Paul and Duluth
to Denver, and in the event of the
Burlington building to Salt Lake to

The mother superior Of st. Peters
Catholic school located near Cascade,
this state, accompanied by several
sisters connected with tie Ursuline or.
der, will come to Billings within the
next week to look over the ground for
the purpose Of erecting a large Catho-
lie school building.
1t will be remembered that a repre-
sentative of the school was here last
year examining the field, but at that
time no definite steps were taken for
a location in the city.
4 1t is now understood that the forth
coming visit Of the sisters is for the
purpose OF deciding upon a school To-
cation. Other towns in the eastern
part OF the state may be visited by
them, but Billings has the preference
and If concessions are made in the
way of a site offers of other commun-
tiles will not be seriously considered.

template the erection of buildings
costing in the neighborhood of 5O,-

N FOR THE PARK
Appropriation Now Asked For the
Largest Ever Sought.

Sioux City, Iowa, March 12.-Cap-
tain H. M. Crittenden, Of the United
States engineers, in charge of the
upper Missouri valley and the Vel
lowstone park, leaves Sioux City to-
day for Washington, where he will ap-
pear before the house appropriations
committee for ar exposition of his es-
Inmates for moneys needed for the
park next year.
A remarkable feature of the cap
tain's estimates is the statement
there is urgent demand for an appro-
priation of 100000 just to keep the
dust from the eyes of the visitors at
the park. The dust nuisance has be-
so bad, he says, as to be a posi-
tive n to the health of the trav-
elers. To remedy this defect, he states
the $50 miles of principal roads should
be "metalled" with six inches Of crush
ed rock. This would cost $4,000 a
mile. For this year, however, he says,
the metalling of half the roadbed on
sixty miles will remove the worst of
the evil, and he asks 100000 for this
purpose.
For the completion of the park, he
says, 100000 of the original estimate
Of 100000 remains. to be expended,
and for this years new roads he asks
$165, 900, and for repairs, $685. 600. This
makes the total appropriation he will
ask $3.50, 900. This is by far the larg-
est appropriation that has been asked
that of $118,00O last year being the
largest heretofore.
