Michigan Supreme Court Declares
Salary Law to Be I'm
constitutional.

Lansing. Mich, March 10. In an
opinion filed Tuesday evening, the SUI
ipreme court declares unconstitutional
an act of the last legislature giving
each of three state officers who con.
stitute the board of state auditors an
annual salary of $500 in addition to
the salary provided by the constitu-
&ion. This additional salary was de-
signed to compensate them for the
performance of the duties imposed by
the legislature and not contemplated
by the constitution The court holds
that the constitutional salary cannot
be exceeded. Gov. Bliss believed the
bill to be unconstitutional, and signed
1t only after the interested officials had
signed the agreement to have it passed
upon by the supreme court before any
allowances were paid them there

DEADLOCK IS ENDED,
The Long Controversy Over Cuban
Reciprocity Decided.
THE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE ACTS.
ny Decisive Majority the Ways and
Means Committees Proposition
for 20 Per Cent. Reduction of
Duties Is Adopted.

Washington, March 19.-The advo-
Gates of Cuban reciprocity scored de-
cisive victory Tuesday night at the
conference of republican members OF
the house Of Representatives, the prop
osition Of Chairman Payne, of the
ways and means committee, for 20
per cent. reduction of duty, with the
Sibley amendment, limiting the dura-
ton Of the reduced rates to December
/, 1908, being adopted by vote of IS
yeas to 81 nays. This result was
reached at 1880 O'clock, after pro-
tracted debate followed by series of
exciting roll calls. The first test was
when Mr.. Payne concluded the speech
making with motion for the previous
question on all pending propositions.
This motion prevailed, Is to Sc. A
vote was then taken on a substitute
offered by Mr.. Dick CO., in behalf of
those opposing the reciprocity plan. Of
fering in it's stead plan of direct pay
ment to Cuba covering several years.
This was defeated, 81 to 70. An amend
ment by Mr.. Morris (Minn.) to take
off the differential on refined sugar
was defeated, so to u.
The ways and means proposition for
reciprocity with Cuba to the extent Of
20 per cent. reduction of duties,
modified by the Sibley amendment linn
iting the lifetime of the reduced rates
to December, 1903, was adopted by the
conference by vote of IS to 81. While
the voting was in progress quite a
number of those who oppose the ways
and means plan left the chamber. I'm
mediately following this vote the con-
ference adjourned, and the long-pend-
ing controversy over the Cuban reci-
procity was determined so far as the
republican conference was concerned,
although it still remains to be dealt
with in the house
The Payne resolution as adopted
gives the general form of bill, au-
:thorizing the president to negotiate
a commercial agreement with Cuba
for reciprocal and equivalent concss-
sions, by which the rates of duty shall
be reduced at least 20 per cent. ad
yalorem on all articles imported from
Cuba into the United States. 1t also
iprovides that the United States immi-
grafton and exclusion laws shall be
enacted by the government of Cuba
as preliminary to reciprocity. The
Eibley amendment, which is adopted as
a part OF the Payne resolution, recites
4hat the foregoing 20 per cent. reduc-
zion shall be ''limited in its duration
and effect to the first day of December,
1903"
Could Not Agree.
Washington, March 19.-The leaders
OF the element opposing the ways and
means committee in the Cuban tariff
question after an hours conference
Tuesday agreed to maintain an I'm.
yielding attitude and not accept a
compromise involving q reduction Of
the tariff. Following this meeting the
arbitrating conferees began their con,
ference, but adjourned at five p. m
without reaching an agreement, eacf
side declining to yield. The entire sub
siect therefore was referred to ths
house conference.

consideration of the river and har-

who has fought river and harbor bills
ever since he came to congress, arose
to speak there was an outburst of
applause on both sides of the house.
81 find in connection with the pre-
sentation of the pending bill some
things to commend-a rare thing in
my experience. We have at the head
of the river and harbor committee
an ideal chairman for the purposes
in view-one who, believe, is strfv-
ing to secure public rather than pri-
vate benefits, one looking for the
welfare of this great nation and the
promotion of it's commerce, not the
elevation of A, p or c to seats upon
this floor" (App1ause.3
Some of Mr.. Hepburn's criticisms on
the bill, however, were quite severe.

CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS.
why Parents Should EndeavOr te
Answer Them Instead of Snub-
bling the Inquirers.

Little folks are won't to ask the most
terribly embarrassing questions at
times, and the more intelligent the
children are the more they will want
to know, for the active little brain of
a clever child is always asking the why
and wherefore of everything. In deal
ing with children's questions be careful
to discriminate between those which
are asked from the desire to know and
those which are the outcome merely of
a childish love of talking. The latter
are often best dealt with by saying,
quite gently: eff you think little,
dear, you will be able to answer that
for yourself" To questions of the for
mer class reply if possible, as carefully
as you would to an adult questioner.
If the matter be beyond the child's
comprehension or unsuitable for ex-
PLANTATION to one of tender years don't
make any foolish or evasive answer
Say simply; 81 cannot explain that to
you now, for you are not old enough tc
understand it. By and by, when you
are older, if you come and ask me
again, then 1 will do my best to tell you
what you want to know" If parents
would speak thus to their children, in
stead of snubbing, or laughing at their
questions, they would keep their con
tidence, and by and by would be re
ferred to for information which boys
and girls are sure to want and which
is best learned from a fathers or g
mothers lips.-Chicago Daily News.

NO NEW STARS NOW
The Statehood Question Goes
Over the Term.
AGREEMENT REACHED ON CANAL BILL
Senate Amendment Accepted Entire
by HOuse-SlOw Progress Made
on the Philippine Civil
Government Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-In a few
minutes yesterday the senate disposed
for this session of the omnibus state
hood question, which has been pending
for several days. Mr.. Beveridge Qnd),
chairman of the committee on terrific
ries, announced that a report ON the
bill before the committee would be
made ON the third day of the next ses-
sion. This was satisfactory to Mr..
Quay Pa) who, after securing an
agreement that the committees report
should be the unfinished business on
and after the 10th of December until it
was disposed of, withdrew his motion
to discharge the committee from fur
Their consideration of the measure.
The conference report on the army
appropriation bill was agreed to, thus
passing that measure and eliminating
the friction which has existed between
the two houses over it.
Conferees on the isthmian canal bill
have reached a unanimous agreement
in favor of accepting the senate amend
ment, which contemplates the building
of the Panama canal If the president
can secure a clear title to that route.
The final conference lasted only half
an hour.
Before the decision was reached Mr..
Hepburn ON behalf of the house con-
ferees endeavored to secure moditica-
ton of the senate amendment limiting
the president to six months time with
in which the title to the Panama route
is to be perfected.
When this failed, Mr.. Hepburn made
no further opposition, and the senate
amendment was concurred in in exact
ly the form that it passed the senate.
The Philippine civil government bill
was thrown to amendment Sn the
house. Very slow progress was made,
only fifteen of the fifty pages of the
bill being completed.
The house adopted a proposition
agreeable to the senate with reference
to the disputed items in the army bill
and by a vote of SO to 95 refused to
agree to the senate Amendments to the
naval bill providing for five submarine
torpedo boats.
