Representative Robertson of LOuisi-
ana asked a series Of questions tend
ing to show that the Cuban people had
not spoken for reciprocity, and that the
movement was directed by 'the sugar
people" interested in tae trade.
Mr.. Armstrong answered that the in
terests Of all the Cuban people were
bound up with sugar production and
must stand or fall with it.
Mr.. Robertson also sought to show
that American capitalists were buy

would be benefited by reciprocity more

chamber yesterday several members
complained that the government had
taken no steps TO intervene in South
Africa.
South Africa stock rose in sympathy
with the reports. The exact nature Of
what was going on was not known. but
a representative of the Associated
Press learned that leading Beers had
indirectly approached the government
protesting against the appropriation of
farms in the Transvaal or Orange river
colonies by British settlers, which sys-
tenn is now being rapidly pushed. and
that strong influence had been brought
TO bear on the Boer leaders to save at
least a vestige of property for their
followers.
Whether what is passing today be-
tween the Beers and the British gov
eminent can be termed peace negotia-
tons or what win be their result can
only remain speculation for the pres
ent. The stock exchange evidently
takes a hopeful view of the outcome.

T ONION. Jan. IA strong belief
prevailed in financial circles here
late today that negotiations for
peace had been reopened between the
leading Beers and the British govern

Nothing definite can be ascertained
with regard TO the alleged peace move

The Vienna papers declare that the
government of The Netherlands has
entered into confidential negotiations
with the Boer leaders with view Of
bringing the war to an end.
Dispatches from Brussels assert that
DR.. Leyds, the European representa-

negotiations. but that other Boer lead
ers have been comforting among them
selves and with DR.. Kuypers, the
Dutch premier, with a view to arrang-
ing negotiations. None of these stories

Chinese Clans Fight
Grea, Loss Of Life
81

Americans in the region around Swa-
tow, China, have been brought face to
race unexpectedly with curious hin
drance to trade in the form of constant
tights between clans over the most
trivial things. AS nearly every Chinese
laborer is member of a clan in that
district, the commerce of the twentieth
century is stopped every little while by
the survivals of past so ancient that
the American commonwealth is an alb
surdly young infant compared with it,
The clans are all formed Of blood rel
atives and are added to systematically
by intermariage so that all the mem
bers are bound together by ties OF reIa-
tionshtp. Each member pays all he can
to the headman Of his clan, and the
sums obtained in this way are enor-
nous.
Thus the Ur clan recently fought for
six months and the total cost OF the
war was only 13 cents man, certainly
as low war budget as there is on rec
ord.
few months ago two men from two
different clans met in village in the
province. One mentioned the others

TO REFORM CRIMINALS
Noted Writer o,.r Present sy.s.n

There is probably no subject OF
greater importance to organized so
ciety than the problem of how to deal
with the criminal classes, so as to re-
duce their number and thereby prevent
crime Criminals there always will be,
and hence some crime. How to mini
mize Doth deserves TIE best thought
Of the hour.
1t is often said that crime is on the
increase. 1t would be truer to say that
what constitutes crime is constantly
being increased by legislation. Our
state legislatures at every session pass
one or more statutes making certain
acts misdemeanors which were not so
before. Real crime and actual crimi-
nails are rapidly fading away before
the advancing light Of civilization and
education.
Punishment for crim2 has much to
do with making criminals. This state
ment seems paradoxical. but 1t Is an
lndisputable fact. Hundreds may be
saved from a life OF crime by the
proper administration Of the criminal
laws. 1t used to be thought that sever
ity OF punishment was the wise
course. indeed the only method, to pre-
vent crime. Fear, no doubt, deters
many; but it Is not fear that must be
chiefly relied upon to save men from
crime. No man was ever made better
by being put in the stocks Severity

Real Test OF Beef Cattle,


Herbert w. Mumford says: For 9
long time we have believed that the
relationship between the breeder and
pure bred animals to the feeder and
market cattle has not been cleary u1r
derstood. Breeders and feeders a. 9Sl..
have at times seemed to utterly 9is-
regard the possibility Of mr,ai help
fulness and even Of mutuss< dependen-
cy. The real place Of pure bred ami
mails has frequently been lost sight OF
which has led to practices that have
not worked out for the best interests OF
breeders OF pure bred animals or the
men whose rightful sphere OF useful
ness Is producing animals for the
block.
An active demand for good beef,
coupled with scarcity Of prime steers,
Is bound to bring about relatively high
prices for prime bullocks on hoof and
hook. High prices for market beef cat
tie invariably stimulate prices for pure
bred beef cattle and as surely great
activity in the breeding Of the same.
Usually the stimulation of this branch
Of the live stock trade, aided by the
ever enthusiastic efforts and aggres-
sive methods OF stock breeders, Is at
times beyond a point warranted by tho
actual conditions existing in the open
market trade.

To dream of bells signifies a speedy

To dream of dogs has very different
S1gnlhcations. If they fawn and fondle

| then be sure that enemies are secret
| ly endeavoring to destroy your reputa-
ton and happiness; if you are in love,
be careful Of your sweetheart.
To dream of an elf signifies happy
return of one long absent; presents Of
value may be expected after this
dream. which also signifies marriage
with wealth, position and happiness
To dream you hear an echo to your
OWN voice denotes that your lover is
much attached to you. 1t also denotes
that you will hear good tidings from
distant country.
To dream pees sting you denotes
loss of good character; and If you are

you see them at work is a very lucky
