Wit Brought Tutor Luck.

A story is told of an English clergy.
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of uobleman and
had not long taken orders when he at
tended the funeral of the rector of the
parish in which the nobleman's seay
was situated. The father of his pupil
was patron of the living and was also
present at the funeral of the deceased
rector. There was Young clergyman
present also whose grief was so de-
monstrative that the noble patron wac
much affected by the sight and asked
IL the young man was a son of the de-
ceased gentleman. "Oh, dear No mn
iord-no relation at ALL said the ~.
tor No relation" exclaimed the No
oleman IN a surprised tone. "n.one
my lord; he is the curate and 7 shinr
ne Is not weeping for the dead bnt for
the living" His lordship, who was
something of wit and a cyni. him
self. was so delighted with the hon
mot that he conferred the living unon

AN uNDIGNlFIED oUTBUHsT

From The Great Falls Tribune:

1t will be remembered how he threat.
ened to tear 4 young man to pieces
some time ago because he had dared to
take snapshot of the president With
out first asking permission. But that
exhibition of childish anger was far out
stripped by his recent attack on Gen
Miles, If the newspaper stories of the
affair are correct-and they have been
partially corroborated, and nowhere
denied.
1t appears that after the official rem
rimand had been given Miles by Secre-
tary Root that the commanding gener-
al had gone to the White house to talk
the affair over with the president, as he
did not believe that he deserved the
treatment that he had received.
When Gen. Miles arrived at the
White house there were about 20 we'll
known men waiting to see the presi-
dent. A few minutes after The arrival
Of Gen. Miles, the door from the ex-
ecutive's private room opened and the
president came in hurriedly.
Immediately respectful hush fell
over the distinguished company which
waited expcctant with the customary
attention for the chief magistrate Of the
government Every one in the large
rom was startled by the scene which
Immediately followed.
CHANGING hastily around him, and
catching sight of Gen. Miles, the presi.
dent walked up to him rapidly, and
with evidences of excitement in his
whole demeanor. Placing himself
squarely before the aged and white
haired lieutenant general of the army,
We waved his arms energetical'y and
then raised his finger warningly under
the nose of Gen. Miles.
81 will have you KNOW" said the
president in loud voice, ''that I will
not allow you to criticise executive
and departmental acts. I don't care
who you are, will not stand it, and
you will find out that am going to
stop this sort of thing"
The distinguished witnesses of this
vigorous reprimand before other per-
sons were further astounded by what
followed. The president had grown
flushed, and was visibly restraining
himself from violent outburst of wrath
only by extreme effort. Then he turn
ed upon Gen. Miles again. Uplifting
his arm, he shook it almost furiously
in the generals face.
'Ill show you,' he said, and turned
his back upon him.
That is the way the correspondents
tell the story, ard as there is no de-
NAL of it, we may accept it as giving
the details substantially as they
occurred.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND ARE
 DETERMINED.
Berlin Government Declares That Venezuela's Latest Proposal is Not Satisfactory and Will
 Proceed to Collect Debt.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The note of President Castro of Venezuela, presented to the German Minister at Caracas a week ago. is not satisfactory to the German Gov ernment It is deemed inadequate and as being probably designed to gain fur ther time It's partial acceptance of the German demands was coupled with condi- tions that are unacceptable.
 The exchange of views with the British Foreign Once has resulted in a decision to proceed with joint action. An ulti- matum will almost certainly be presented in a few days. The phrasing of the note is the subject of the present correspond ence between the respective Governments whose action will not await the arrival in the West Indies of the cruisers Amazon, Niobg and Arlande, as Germany already has an ample force there. The departure of these cruisers has been indefinitely postponed
 A seemingly inspired article in The Co., logne Gazette today says:
 "Despite Germany's patience with Ven ezuela all thought has been abandoned of a peaceful 5ettlem ent Venezuela has treated Germany in q manner almost in sulting. because Venezuela published of hcial communications without Germanys s consent. coupled with improper com uents"

WILL REMOVE HUGHES
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MADE IN
 WASHINGTON.
Postmaster Buckley's Tenure of of- flee Greatly Strengthened by His Recent Visit to the
 National Capital.

Washington, Dec. 4.-(Special. )-While Postmaster Buckley's tenure of the Mont gomery office has been much strengthened by recent events, more especially by his own recent visit to Washington and the great showing made for him by Mont gomery business men, it Is definitely stat ed that he is to be deprived of the assist ance of Money Order Clerk Hughes. MT. Hughes is to be forthwith relieved of his duties as a postal employe.
 It is said here explicitly that Judge Buckley returned home with assurance of the entire confidence of the President and the postoffice department.
 It is further declared that the general disturbances in postoffices In Alabama and adjoining States was due to an erro- neous belief on the part of Chief In spector Williams at Chattanooga that the administration desired the removal of Southern postmasters indiscriminately Thus, one inspector Greenway made a generous and personally highly creditable kindness on Judge Buckley's part the basis for a derogatory report against him, the real purpose of which the postmaster general was quick to see, as he had been before the strongest evidence of Judge Buckley's integrity and entirely satisfac- tory services

miners time-keeper and an engineer employed at collieries in the upper coal fields, were next callfd and testified that they were unabe to get their oiu places back after the strike was declared off.
 A question was raised by counsel for the opera tors as to whether the Susquehanna Company was a party to the arbitration scheme and after a letter from Isaac Wistar of Philadelphia, Vice-President of the company, had been read by the commissioners to the effect that the com pany would abide by the award of the commissioners if the men would also abide by 1t, John Price, a check docking boss was permitted to testify.
 Would Not Hear Witness.
 Subsequently, Chairman Gray read the letter a little closer and as result he thought 1t would be better not to exam inc the witness. He gave no reason, but it was learned later that while the com pany would agree to the award, 1t had decided not to be physically represented before the commission. therefore, 1t woud be embarrassing to take testimony where a company was not actually represented
 The commission then adjourned until tomorrow.
 Today was set as the time limit for coal companies to answer the submission made by the miners, but the Coxe Com pany's time was extended until tomorrow, the officials of the company being absent and not prepared to make answer. Be- sides the large companies which signed the request made to President Roosevelt for the appointment of the arbitration commission, large number of companies have up to today signified their willing ness to abide by the decision of the arbi- traitors

WILL RATIFY TREATY
SENATE WILL ENDORSE CON-
 MENTION WITH CUBA.
Elkins and Others Who Opposed Direct Legislation by Congress Will Vote for Reciprocity
 Treaty With Island.

Washington, Dec. &-President Roose- welt is assured that if the negotiations with Cuba for a reciprocity treaty are concluded by the State Department. the treaty will be rati6ed during the present session.
 While many Senators were and still are opposed to direct legislation by Congress on the subject of Cuban reciprocity, some of them at least. and perhaps major ity among them, of Republicans. will vote to ratify reasonable reciprocity treaty.
 Senator Elkins of West Virginia, who led the anti-Cuban reciprocity forces in the Senate during the last session of Congress, had an extended interview with the President today during which they discussed Cuban reciprocity. He informed Mir. Roosevelt that he would support proper Cuban reciprocity treaty and expressed the belief that such a treaty would be ratified by the Senate soon after it's presentation.
 Such a solution of the commercial ob- ligations of the United States to Cuba would be entirely satisfactory to Sena- tor Elkins and many of his Senatorial colleagues who oppoSed the enactment of direct legislation because they feared such action would open up a tariff con- troversy. which, in the view of strong advocates of the protection system. might prove embarrassing, if not dangerous to the Republicans.
 President Roosevelt, it is understood, has received assurances from other Sea- ators who last spring opposed reciproc- itv legislation. that they will support by voice and vote a Cuban reciprocity treaty.

NEGOTIATIONS AT sTANDsT1LL.
General Bliss Unable to Proceed
 With Reciprocity Treaty.

Havana, Dec. 4-The reciprocity nego- tiations between General Tasker Bliss and the Cuban secretaries Zaldo and Montes is practically at stand still ow- ing to the desire of the latter to await the outcome of the bill introduced in the House of Representatives.
 This bill provides for the appointment of a committee to draw a bill defining the limits of concessions which the Cuban government can offer foreign countries in negotiating reciprocity treaties. A Cou- mittee of the House began the study Of the question today.
 It Is known that Secretaries Zaldo and Montes have reached satisfactory agreement with General Bliss and that practically all that is left to be done is the signing of the agreement, but they do not wish to assume any responsabil- ity. The Nationalists claim control of the House and the bill referred to is a Nationalist measure.
 In a discussion in the Senate today on the question, Senator Sanguilly said an agreement signed by President Palma and Secretaries Zaldo and Montes would not be binding and that the matter must be brought before both Houses of Par liament. Congress. he said, should be informed regarding the particulars of the nroposed treaty inc order that 1t mignt intellgently discuss the changes in the tarfd

THE HOUSE WILL PASS IT
In the Senate It Will Meet
 Death Blow.
Measure Very Similar to That Passed Unanimously by the House in 16e6-How It Would
 Operate.

Washington. Dec. 4.-(Special )-The House Judiciary Committees suh-oom- mittee. consisting of Littlefield CMe.). morrow report favorabiy to the full Con- mittee the trust publicity bill favored by the President. The House will likely pass the bill and 1t will be held up in the Sem ate. In any event there is little hope of good results from it.
 The measure as amended by sub-com- mittee. provides that every trust shall file with the Interstate Commerce Com mission a sworn statement of the cash paid in and the cash value of the prop erty acquired. together with the capital ized stock.
 This is practically the Democratic measure passed unanimously by the House in 1896 and defeated by the Senate.
 The value of 1t would consist in the exposure to the public under severe psn- alties of the actual worth of the stock and bonds of any given company.
 Case of Steel Trust.
 For example. the steel trust greatest combination of capital on earth, is. ac- cording to the statement sworn to in New Jersey courts. worth q. .AOO. .oOO.Oo0, yet it's preferred obligations were quoted todae at S3 3-S cents on the dollar and its "com- mon'' at 36 Is cents. But 1t is held to be paying Il per cent on common. In other words. the publicity bill seeks to show actual values and demonstrate to the public the full degree of all watering"
 Other bills amending the sherman anti- trust act remain in abeyancs. That the Sherman act is fully sufficient was dem Qnstrated when the comparatively little cast iron pipe trust of Ohio. having branches in Birmingham and Anniston. Ala. was not long ago held by a United States Court to be illegal. Thus is shown the hollowness of the Rooseveltian pre- tentions against the trust evil.
 The President says to his supporters In Congress regarding the trusts: Be good. If you can't be good. use all manner of carefulness. lest you hurt the trusts and the divine right of Dingleyism."

FAMINE OF .CADAV FRS
MEDICAL COLLEGES ARE WITH
 OUT "SUBJECTS.
Prices of Corpses Has Advanced from $5-$40 to $50-$T5-The Ghouls Apprehensive of Fur
 ther Investigations. :.

Indianapolis. Ind. Dec. IA famine of cadavers is feared by the authorities of medical colleges and as a consequence the price of bodies has advanced from s to s40, the figure paid before the grave rob ping Investigation was begun, to from $50 to $76.

 It is estimated that there arc fewer than twenty bodies in the four medical colleges in the city, while the usual num- Der at the beginning of winter terms exceeds one hundred. It Is said that the bodies now in the different colleges were obtained legitimately and that all stolen bodies have been destroyed or shipped to some other city.

 A dispatch from Louisville, Ky, where there are nine colleges which use ap- proximately 300 bodies says that in the ''demonstrators" pool there are but thirty bodies.
 The scarcity is attributed to the India napolis investigation. It Is said that ghouls in the employ of colleges all over the central States have become .apprehen- sive for fear that a general investigation might be made and they are seeking other ways of earning livelihood.
 F. M. Hollingsworth and William Gull liver of Pike township. called at the county jail today and asked Cantrell if any bodies had been disturbed in the Bethel cemetery.
 Cantrell said he was sorry to tell them that he thought every body buried in the place previous to the beginning of the investigation had been taken

 Fathers of the children were at work and could not accompany them to the school house or serious trouble might have followed. People who are opposed to the vaccination rule held a meeting and decided to bring injunction proceed ings at once to prevent the school board from enforcing the ordinance

Washington, Dec. 1.-The decision of the District Court of Appeals yesterday in the second-class mail reform cases, will be studied carefully by the postoffice officials before any definite conclusion is reached as to the future policy in refer ence to reclassiflcation reforms.
 Postmaster General Payne today ex- pressed the opinion that in view of the fact that one of the decisions was in fla vor of the Government and the other two adverse, and that a nAmber of other cases are now pending in the lower court, each case of exclusion or proposed exclu- sion of a publication from the second- class privileges would have to be deter mined by itself. and that no general rule could be laid down at present.
