port Association to Chair

Chairman Payne of the ways and means
committee has received the following letter
from Mr.. +. b. Thurber, president OF the
United States Export Associations:
II notice that Colonel Tasker ii. Bliss, In
lis testimony before your committee, eX-
pressed the opinion that a reduction of 33lz
per cent In our duties on Cuban products,
with a corresponding percentage of reduc-
ton in the Cuban tariff on our products,
would give the United States the larger
part of the Cuban trade. AS president Of
the United States Export Association, whose
object Is to widen the market for American
products, I have, during the past few
months, made a careful study OF this ques-
tion, and believe that nothing less than 90
per cent will be adequate to fully accom-
plsh this purpose. We want not only their
trade for our cereals, provisions and sugar
machinery. but for the rice, wine, shoes,
textiles, and q long list OF sundry manufac-
turing articles which she has been getting
from other countries, and it requires q very
considerable indueement to divert this trade.

the good seed of enfranchisement. She re-
ported that 1900 copies of the first num-
ber of Progress, the new suffrage paper,
had been taken. A course Of study has
been mapped out, and quite lengthy list

sure her hearers that the full gamut OF hu-
man emotions had been played from delight
to disappointment and from despair to in
dignation and reconciliation, and the final
spirit Of 20 Lord, be thankful" which
marked its close.
Miss Gordon found consolation. however,
in the fact that out of failure, the Buffalo
conference recorded success with big let

AT present our tariff on Cuban products

clent revenue to support her government
If we make reduction of one-haIf in our
duties on her products. we would still be
charging her as much as the average
charge on the dutiable products Of all other
countries, or, say 80 per cent, while she
would be charging us on our products going

There was a chilling frost to greet the
delegates to the National American Woman
Suffrage Association at the First Presbyte-
rian Church this morning. Fur overcoats
and foot warmers would have been CRATE
fully received, and ear muffs and nose pro-
tectors would not have been amiss. The
delegates muff1ed TO the ears, managed to
get down to business at 1890 o'clock, how
ever. and listened to the various reports
which made an exhibit of the work of the
past year. The session opened with prayer
by Rev. Olympia Brown and singing led by
Miss Maddox.
A special meeting was conducted by Miss
Mary G. Hay in the Sunday school room,
the subject under consideration being or

cussion were Mrs. Mary Hutcheson Page,

An English writer gives good ex.
ample OF those bubbles in legal prac-

certain minds. Some years ago, while

OF curious legal question. II had ref.
erence to u railway station ut the
boundary between two principaiities.
Some ono standing outside the win.
dow OF the ticket office had put his
hand through and robbed the till inside.
The boundary line lay between where
the thief stood and the I'LL. 80 that he
was actually in one territory while the
crime was committed In the other.
Here was nice nut for the gentlemen
learned In tho law TO crack. Which
OF the principaIities should undertake
the prosecution OF the culprit?
Al II they went I'm good earnest. and
the arguments on either side were long
and vehement I'LL the whole cnsc was
embalmed In many volumes At last
one side yielded so far as TO say:
I'VE will permit you. as an act OF
courtesy. to prosecute. while ut the
same time rescrving all our sovereign

Al this point or the recital the Eng

The difficulty which the Navy
Department is having in securing
sufficient number Of enlisted men TO
man the ships which are being

sad commentary on the methods and

acknowledged by those IN position
to know that IL is mo less difficult
for camel to go through the pro

This is not true of the army and, as
consequence, the War Depart
