WE MAY MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Possibilities of Reciprocity Treaty
With Cuba.

:.
With Cuba.
washington, Nov. ia high official
OF the government, who is we'll IN
formed regarding our relations with
Cuba, In discussing the proposed reci-
procity treaty today said:
at is possible that the demands OF
this country may be modified slightly
on an investigation of trade relations
in Cuba, as the first draft of the treaty
was the basis of an agreement.
There is no disposition, however. to
offer a greater concession to Cuba than
20 per cent, which will include all pro-
ducts of the islands, while the conces-
sions demanded vary from 10 to 70 per
cent. This is explained by the fact that
the concessions must be considered not
so much upon percentages as upon ex-
listing tariffs. The tariff of the United
States ON all articles produced in Cuba
is so high that 30 per cent reduction
will mean much to the island. This
relates especially to sugar and tobacco,
and will enable the Cubans to either
undersell all other foreigners to secure
greater profits on their products than
people of other nations"

A SPECIAL DISTINCTION.
Gar viii Receive Ambassador Tower
~ I ivadia


St Petersburg. Nov. 13.-Ambassa-
dor Tower, who was recently trans
sferred to Berlin, and Mrs. Tower will
leave here today by a special car at
tached to the Sebastopol express,
placed at their disposal by Prince
Chilkoff, minister of ways and COM
munications, on their way to Livadia,
where the czar has invited Mr.. Tower
to call on him. This is a special dis
tinetion, as the rule was long since
established forbidding formal recep-
tions at Livadia. The most important
delegations have frequently to await
the czar's return to st. Petersburg. The
new French ambassador. M. Bompard,
is now waiting for the return of the
ear to st. Petersburg before he can
assume his duties, tho he was ap-
pointed to his position two months ago.
Knowing that Mr. Tower could not
wait the car ordered the farewell au-
djence to be held at Livadia. The ac-
ton has caused much comment, and is
generally construed as intended to be
an expression of the czar's personal
feelings towards the United States and
its retiring ambassador.

able to find any work aboard ship
which their unwelcome passenger can

FIVE RoRHER SUSPECTS.
Detectives Make Catch That May Be
Very important.

Chicago, Nov. 13.--A search that was
begun with bloodhounds two weeks ago
and has been kept up perslstently ever
since resulted yesterday in the capture
of five men, who are accused of having
robbed the Exchange National Bank o1
Gardner, Ill, on Oct 80. The suspects
are Charles Mitchell, Edward Houser
Hugh Blake, William Edwards and
Samuel ]. Ritchie.
The five men were arrested at 404
West Madison street on an information
furnished the police by Pinkerton oper-
atives. They refused either to affirm OF
deny their guilt. but were identified by
from Gardner to Chicago on the morn
boldest ever known in Illinois, and
netted the robbers a sum variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Sheriff Johnson, of Grundy county
reached Chicago at noon, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Ferguson, and in the
afternoon the FIVE prisoners were taker
to Morris, ILL., Today they will be
transferred to Gardner, where it is
thought Identification will be madf
complete.
The capture was the result of g
search which was begun by the Pinker-
tons the day following the robbery
Bloodhounds that were put on the trai
of the robbers lost the scent in Brigh-
ton Park on the morning of the robbery
and when this effort failed the Fidelity
and Casualty Insurance Company OF
New York, which had insured the
Gardner bank turned the case over tc
the detective agency.
Edwards is said to be wanted ir
Louisville for jumping bonds. and also
in Joliet, where he is said to be under
indictment for shooting a man whose
name, oddly, was Gardner, in Decem-
Der, 1900.
Ritchie is said to have been sent tt
the Michigan state penitentiary in 1885,
for burglary committed in Cairo.
Lieutenant McWeeney says he has
reason to believe that the men may
have been connected with the train
hold-up at Savanna, Ill.

Of Peter Arlund, of Louisville, who as
saulted him in the Planters Hotel at
St. Louis.
Colonel Wetmore came here yester-
day and consulted with Mayor Reed
and ex-Police Commissioner Gregory.
Later Mr.. Gregory said there would
be no duel. Colonel Wetmore, he de-
clared, is bad shot and objects to
fighting Arlund, because he has learned
that he is Swede and a good shot. He
also said they contemplated taking out
restraining order.
Arlund, according to a Louisville
dispatch, says he will give Wetmore q
reasonable length of time to accept his
challenge, and will then go after him.

MAKES WHISKY TAX LAW VOID.
Missouri Supreme Court Judge Multi
fies Measure of LEGISLATURE.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 13.-Judge
Sherwood filed an opinion in the SUI
preme court declaring the whisky tax
law enacted by the last legislature to be
unconstitutional and void. The law
levied tax of 10 cents per gallon on
all distilled liquors manufactured and
sold in this state. 1t exempted vinous
liquors and all liquors which were ship
ped outside of the state for sale.
Regarding the title and the emerg-
ency clause, which shows provisions
of law to be inconsistent, the opinion
says:
1--WE hold the emergency clause in
this instance as conclusive evidence of
the legislative purpose, and that pur-
pose is revenue.
The law, therefore, is not police
regulation, but is a revenue measure
because the emergency clause recites
the necessity for raising revenue as an
excuse for the taking effect of the act
