Plea of Mr.. Pavey, of New York,
Counsel for Chamber Of Commerce.
Mr.. Frank D. Pavey. Of New York. coun-
sci On behalf Of the Chamberof Commerce
Of the Island of Cuba, has submitted to
the Committee on Ways and Means Of the
House Of Representative. an argument in
support OF the Cuban petition for a spe-
cial act, granting tariff concessions
namely the placing Of Cuban molasses
and raw sugar on the free list and the
admission OF all other Cuban products at
half the Dingley tariff rate, Cuba to re-
ciprocote by placing upon all American
products half the rate Of duties levied
upon similar products Of the most IA
vored nation.
According 10 Mr. Pavey. the Cubans
base their petition to Congress upon two
propositions:
First-The United States is under moral
obligation 10 aid Cuba in the re-estab-
lishmeut Of prosperity I'm the island so
far as aid can be given without injury TO
American industry
Second-The commerce and industry Of
Cuba are in eminent danger Of disaster if
aid is not given Immediately.
Reference is made TO the message Of
President Roosevelt and the annual re-
port Of Secretary Of War Root. whose
recommendation on the subject are
quoted.
The urgency OF immediate relief is the
reason assigned for the request for a spe-
cial act The negotiation Of a special
treaty is declared TO be too slow 10 meet

by senator stephen B. EIkins and his

/ Today all negotiations were clinched by
the Pennsylvania system for the purchase
Of the West Virginia Central for ST.

The Elkins- Davis combine seemed hand

they had first mortgage on the sale Of
the road. IL was the Gould scheme 10 put
a trunk line through West Virginia BY

But the Pennsylvania through Presi-
dent A. J. Cassatt. outwitted the New

Pennsylvania has blocked the GOulds at

Along its main line from Cum berland 10

ates 15.0O0 acres Of coal lands.

Chicago,. New weather Propket.

CHICAGO, Ill. Jan. Superintendent
Warder, Lincoln Park. declares there viii
be no more cold weather this season. His
belief is due to the fact that the thirty
prairie dogs owned by the park have
walked up in the middle Of winter Tor the
first time In thirteen years and have come
out OF thoir holes 10 feed. For thirteen
years, as long as Head Keeper Devry has
been connected with the Park Zoo the
prairie dogs have dropped into their holes
when the first freeze-up arrived and never
re-apPeared until the frost WAS out OF the
