HE THANKS UNCLE SAM.
President PaImn,s Message Sent to
tho Cuban Senate.

the NuDhn SenAtcs
Havana, May 2s.-President Pnlma's
message will be delivered to the Gu
ban senate to-day.
The message opens by giving
thanks to the Almighty for His as
sistance in carrying out the work of
obtaining Cuban independence, and
asks divine aid in the establishment
of firm and stable government.
"Never did people fight with moro
perseverance" says the message,
"and sacrifice more for liberty than
have the Cubans. No people, there
fore, are more entitled to see their
just efforts crowned with success.
Together with our own heroism is
the attitude of the great people who
were impelled by their own love Of
liberty to put themselves on our side
in our tenacious fight for the inde-
pendence of the country. Their mo-
tive was one of generous sentiment,
pure and disinterested in origin. I'M
PEELED by this sentiment the powerful
republic of the north recognizes.
through its illustrious president, the
republic of Cuba. The promise for
mally made has been carried out. In
this moment, when we feel our right
to be an Independent nation, it is
impossible to suppress our gratitude
to the United States. To recognize
this debt of gratitude to the great
nation is an act which exalts us and
which makes us worthy of the consid-
GRAFTON and respect of the other ma
tions of the world.
President Palma recommends the
encouragement of the agricultural in
dustries of the island, the raising of
cattle, the establishment of agricul-
tural stations to improve the culture
of sugar cane and tobacco, and the
introduction of varied agricultural
Industries.
"While the question of reciprocity
is still pending" the message goes
on, ''it is impossible to state now
what measures should be adopted to
meet the pending crisis. This crisis
Is due to the ruinous price of sugar
caused by the excess production of
beet sugar in Europe. An immediate
remedy would be the reduction of the
American tariff on sugar, to obtain
which the executive will at once de-
vote his efforts and will negotiate a
treaty in order to obtain benefits
for the Cuban sugar producers.
"If security of life and property in
Cuba is to be firmly guaranteed the
rural guard must be reorganized and
increased, as the present tranquility
in the island is due to the people
themselves and their desire to main
tain the prestige of their country.
eve recognize that during the
American intervention, the sanitary
conditions of the island I~ere greatly
improved, but it is necessary to con-
tinue this work and make these inn
proved conditions permanent"
President Palma declares it is the
purpose of the government to devote
its attention to education.

the Countess de Rochambeau drew
sside the wells enveloping the figure,
bringing into view the massive bronze
proportions of the famous French
commander, standing proudly erect
with arm outstretched, directing the
fortunes of war on the field of York
town. A great cheer went up from
Frenchmen and Americans alike.
Following the French ambassador,
Gen. Horace Porter, the United States
ambassador to France, made a brief
address, and was followed by Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts. AS Mr..
Lodge closed the French band played

The improvement which had been
noted in his condition during the past

A MEAT FAMINE.
Chicago Is Threatened with Ono be-
cause of tho Teamsters, Strike.

Chicago, May 2s.-Chicago's beef
supply from the stockyards has been
almost entirely cut off and unless the
concessions demanded by the strik-
ing teamsters are granted within the
next day or two the city will be face
to face with famine. The situation
is growing more alarming with the
passing of each day.
Not only have the big packers
failed in every attempt to smuggle
meat out of the yards, but the whole
sale and retail butchers who usually
drive their own wagons into the
yards and take out loads of provi-
sions have been forbidden to do so in
the future.
AS result there Is movement on
foot among the 1900 or more butch
ers of Chicago to close their shops
for week or two, or as long as may
be necessary to defeat the packers
in their fight against the teamsters.

Members of the French Commission
visit the Place and Then Go
to West Point.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, May 27.-The
members of the French mission who
participated in the ceremonies Incl
dent to the unveiling of the statue
of Count de Rochambeau at Washing
ton arrived at Niagara Falls Monday
morning. Besides the members of the
mission and the families of La Fa-
yette and Rochambeau, there are in
the party Ambassador Cambon, Nine.
Cambon and members of the staff of
the French embassy and the presi-
dents commission. Carriages were
awaiting the arrival of the train, and
ten minutes after it reached here the
members of the party started for a
carriage drive to the points of inter-
est about the falls. The sun was shin
ing brightly and the cataract was seen
to the best advantage. All the mem
bers of the party thoroughly enjoyed
the scenery. They touched on English
soil for short time when the car
riages crossed the bridge and viewed
the falls from the Canadian side.
During the afternoon the party took
trip through the gorge on a special
train to Lewiston and return. AT four
p. m. they left for West Point on spe-
cial train.

hitch has occurred. Little informa-
tion from Pretoria has been able re-
Gently to pass the censor there.
That the government fully antici-
pated speedy conclusion of peace is
believed to be shown by the postpone
ment from Monday until Friday or
later of the budget bill in the commit
tee stage, with the view, as was frank
ly admitted on the governments side
of the house, of enabling the budget
to be recast in the event that peace is
secured. The tax on grain has proved
so unpopular throughout the country
and has had sucs an unexpected effect
in reuniting the liberal party with a
most effective election cry, that there
is little doubt the government will
welcome an excuse to drop it.
London, May 27.-The Daily Mail
says the cabinet council to be held
to-day will decide upon the points of
detail, mostly of financial nature,
which have been raised by the Beers
in the peace negotiations. Great
Britain's decision in the matter will.
then be communicated to the Vereenig-
ing conference by the delegates at Pre-
toria, says the paper, and, being the
best obtainable terms, they will al
most certainly be accepted. The re-
suits chould be announced officially
either Thursday or Friday of this
week, probably on Friday, the day
upon which King Edwards birth is
celebrated. Peace is quite certain
says the Daily Mail, and the dele
gates at Pretoria are only engaged in
endeavoring to gild the pill for the
Vereeniging conference to swallow.
London, May 27.-It was reported
in the lobbies in the house of cori
mons Monday that the proclamatiur
of peace may be followed by an abAn
donment of the tax on grain.
London, May 27.-Those persons ex
pecting a definite announcement re
garding peace in South Africa, on this
reassembling of parliament, Monday
afternoon, were disappointed, as this
government leader in the house oi
! commons, A. j. Balfour, declined t.
"make any forecast" as to when tn,
government would be able to make
statement.
Although Mr.. Balfour declined t.
commit himself publicly, there is n
doubt whatever in government cir
cles that definite proclamation o.
peace is only question of hours.

AN OBSTINATE MINORITY.
Doer Delegates May Yet BnIk the
Plans Proposed for bring
ing About Peace.

Pretoria, May 27.-The prevalence
throughout South Africa of the op-
timistic feeling in regard to the peace
negotiations is hardly based upon
solid facts. The protraction of the
conference at Vereeniging is mott nee
essarily hopeful sign. The delegates
to the conference, although they have
abandoned their hopes of securing in
dependence, still have many points of
difference with the government, while
an obstinate minority continues to re-
gard the resumption of hostilities as
the best outcome of the present situ-
alton, and at any moment these points
of difference may be accentuated into
a refusal to continue the negotiati tions.
1t is most unlikely that those who are
in favor of peace will throw up the
sponge so long as a decent minority is
desirous of continuing the struggle,
and all these dissonant elements must
be taken into account before it is pos
sible to give any sort of prediction as
to the issue of the present negotia-
tions.
London, May 27.-Just before parlia-
ment rose after midnight, rumor
reached the lobbies that hitch had oc-
Cured in the peace negotiations
Nothing official concerning this rumor
could be ascertained, but the dispatch
from Pretoria, in which it was said
that the prevalence throughout South
Africa of the optimistic feeling in re.
gard to the peace negotiations was
hardly based upon solid facts, may be
regarded as an indication that such q

AN ILLEGAL COMBINE.
President Roosevelt Is Requested to
Declare War Against the Electrical
SUPPLY DcnIcrn, AahOclniiOn.

Chicago, May 2s.-A communication
was sent yesterday to President
Roosevelt by independent electrical
supply dealers specifying charges
against the National Electrical Sup
ply Dealers association and request
ing that he direct the attorney gen.
eral of the United States to seek for
evidence in Chicago preparatory to
prosecution of the officers and mem
bers as parties to an alleged illegal
trust. The men who sign the state
ment sent the president an offer to
furnish evidence in support of their
charges, and, if court proceedings are
authorized, to appear as witnesses for
the government.
The communication charges that
officers of the association have con-
spired with the National Electrical
Manufacturers association, and
among themselves, to drive out of
business, eXterminate and crush out
all independent electrical supply
manufacturers and dealers in the
United States. Such conspiracy, it
is claimed, has been in existence for
the last two years and its purpose
has been to create an electrical sup
ply trust contrary to the statutes of
the United States.
The officers and members of the
supply trust, it is charged, have black
listed, boycotted and illegally at
tackled independent supply dealers;
they have imposed fines on member
ship for selling to independent deal

summary of His Career.

Sir Julian Pauncefote has long been high
ly regarded in this country as British am
bassador, which position he took in 1898.
He has been the recipient of unusual honors
here for 10 years.
Lord Pauncefote. as the head of the Brit
ish delegation to the peace conference at
The Hauge. was one OF the most attractive
and interesting figures. A firm believer in
peace himself. he has done much to avert a
resort to arms and to bring about universal
peace.
He was born at Munich in 1928, and was
educated in Paris and Geneva. He received
a legal training and had judicial experience.
He became a lawyer at Hong-Kong, and
was made attorney general of that colony
IN 1865.
From 1874 to 1882 he acted as legal assist
ant to the under secretary OF state, first in
the colonial office and then in the foreign
office. He became virtually permanent for
eign minister of England In 1882.
In 1885 he was appointed delegate to draw
up an act for the navigation OF the Suez
canal. and in 1889 he was sent TO America
as envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary at the time of the Lord Sack
Vile trouble. Five years later he was raised
to the status of ambassador.
Lord Pauncefote was at Washington dur
Ing two very critical periods. when the
Venezuelan question came up, and at the
outbreak of the Spanish h-American war.

The news of Lord Pauncefote's
death brought Secretary of State
Hay to the white house shortly after
nine o'clock, and he spent some time
with the president considering what
action should be taken by this gov

There Is no disposition here to eensure
anyone OF the trainmen and the RESPONSE
bility has not been fixed for the terrible

charge OF the work train. claims that he
gave orders to Conductor Hollingsworth Of
the other work train. which went to Col
Inns for dinner. to notify the engineer OF
the freight TO walt at Collins. The feeling
is that Craig did just what many con-
ductors are doing all the time and was
not to blame.
