Private and Trust interests st Work
% shape Legislation Ia Their
own ENDS.

Recent dispatc from Washington
have stated that the delegations from
certain states have uniied in opposi-
tion 10 any law which may admit
Cuban sugar free Of duty TO the mar
kets Of the United States. The move
ment Is stated to be i'm the interests OF
the cultiyators in those states OF beet
sugar, says the ST. Paul Globe.
On December last the Cuban COM
missioners addressed a communication
TO the president of the senate and the
speaker Of the house in which they
submitted the proposal that Cuban
molasses ard raw sugar up to No. 10 OF
the Dutch standard should be admit
ted free TO the United States and all
other Cuban products at half the rates
OF duty on the same commodities ex-
acted from the most favored nations.
In exchange for this they declared
Cuba's willingness TO admit all Ameri-
cas- products to the island al half the
rates now prevailing on American
products admitted TO other countries
under the favored nation clause. this
willingness TO be first established by
the declaration OF the American mill
tary governor. under whose direction
the question might he submitted 10 the
vote of the Cuban people.
The comm ssioners asked further
that special act might be passed by
congress establishing such a reciprocal
tariff arrangement because the delay
would be too great in the existing ex-
igent situation in Cuba II IL were to be
carried out through the medium OF a
formal treaty after the formation OF
the Cuban government.
There would be no objection 10
such an arrangement on the part OF
other "most favored" nations, as dip
lomatic rules and usages establish
because the Cuban republic was not
in existence at the time of the ne
gotiation of the other most favored
ration" treaties, and because such
treaties intend that the privileges
granted under the favored nation
clause shall only refer to gratuitou'
privileges. and do not cover privileges
granted on the conditions of re
ciprocal advantage such as is Offered
by the ARA ngement suggested.
II is evident that private and sec
tional interests will use their utmos
efforts to prevent the passage o
, such law or of any law which vii

MARK HANNA'S CONTROL.

A word or two will suffice to bring
out the almost complete mastery OF
party machinery which has fallen in
to the hands of the national commit
tee since il became continuously
active body and took 10 itself such
new and great powers, says Rollo og-
den. in Atlantic. When the chairman
now calls to order a national conven-
ton he is really facing large num-
Der, sometimes majority. OF dele
oates who are there because he willed
them to be there. To cali the con-
yention has. in fact, come to be pref
~ nearly the same thing as deciding
who shall be among the called.
y This has especially been the
case with Mr.. Hanna and almost all
the republican delegates from the
south. They have been peculiarly his
progeny for eight years past. When
he first began to look about for
profitable field in which to invest the
money he had raised to nominate Mr..
Mckinley for the first time 1t was to
the southern states that he turned.
He bought Reeds niggers, IN even
n more Wholesale way than that in
which Senator sherman had accused
Gen. AIgcr of buying his in 1sss.
Since then. in the nature OF the case,
that c,lored brigade has been abso-
lutely under Mr.. Hanna's command.

tures. and the sheep Of his pasture.
What he does so sweepingly with
them he does in less degree and
sporadically. but still effectively. with
the delegates from other sections.
Large numbers stand ready to do his
bidding. They vote as he prays. The
result Is 10 give him enormous power
in debating nominations IN advance
and in molding the convention IKE
clay to his hand.

JUSTICE GRAY'S COURT
People Who Love to Fight Must Pay
 for Their Fun.

Simona Peralta was in Justice Gray's court yesterday for the first time in some weeks. She came first as a com plaining witness, with a narrowing tale of woe to the effect that her dear friend Juan Castillo had smitten her with his good right arm and smit hard. She wanted him to receive the just punish ment due a man who whips his lady friends. Juan was duly arrested and brought into court, his case being set for trial this morning.
 But before he left Wall street Juan made complaint that the festive Si- mona had assaulted him unmercifuliy and though he was a poor defenseless man she damned him to a finish. She not only hurt his feelings but sne bruised his body. wherefore he prayed that she too be arrested and it was done. Her trial was also set for this morning.
 Saturnino ROdrigues was arrested also by Constable Gonzales and was jailed for the time being as he was too drunk for trial. His offense was an assault with a brick bat or similar missile, on the person of one Ben Hall.

THE HAMMOND DIVORCE SUIT The Wife Gets a Decree on Her Gross
 Complaint.

l Mrs. Mary J. Hammond was yester- day granted a divorce from w. D. Ham mond on her cross complaint. There was no resistance. The plaintiff is in the penitentiary, having been convict ted of things alleged in the cross-com- plaint. The case of Mrs. Hammond had already been established in the the last term Of the United States court.
 But for this divorce suit Hammond would have been free man. The life he had been living was an outrage on society but society had got used to such outrages and was not disposed to resent them. It was also known that he had used his wife badly, but that seemed to be nobody's business. Ham, mond though was not satisfied with the immunity he was enjoying and he be- gan suit for divorce from his wife. If he had gone about about that with even show of de cency perhaps rothing would have happened to him but he filed in the district court the most disgraceful document that had ever been recorded there His wife was accused of sins that cannot be named.
 The woman had some friends here who would not stand that last affront put upon her and she was sent for. She perhaps would not have resisted a charge of desertion, but now she must fight for her character, and on her ar rival, and even before Hammond began to have the fight Oi his life. He found himself arrested for a violation of the Edmunds act. His arrest was made in order that the burden of Mrs. Ham, mOnd in her divorce suit might be made lighter. It was entirely removed SO that she had nothing to prove of the alIcga ations of her cross complaint which had been filed in the meantime.
 The only other matter before the court yesterday was the cause of J. $. Peterson against T.. ". Wilbur. It was not concluded when court ad- journed until 9:3O tomorrow morning.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION

'I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tab lets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says MT. J. II. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cas- cade, Iowa. What better recommenda- ton could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them them when you feel dull after eating when you have Q bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, you are certain to be delighted with the promptthe prompt relief which they afford.
