removal of patients 10 a hospital. The
contents will include antiseptics. chic
reform, a full set of hypodermic instru
ments. antiseptic bandages and gauzt
and a powerful emetic TO be used ir
case of internal poisoning. There viii
also be Il scalpel. spud and couple OF
forceps.
At the same time a first aid package
has been prepared for the use of al
train hands. yard and switch men. This
is an innovation in the railroad worlC
made at the suggestion of Presiden
FELTON,. The package will contain a tiI
box. q by 3 by l Il inches. containing an

awaiting the arrival of surgeon The
package will be hermetically seale6

paraphernalia carried by some south
ern lines. but rather TO provide against
injury to passengers from inability tt

surgeon TO assist in the work of relief
prior 10 the arrival of regular assist
ance. There is hardly Il point on tn.
Alton road where a physician or sur

The authorities of the road decline
to discuss the matter at this time. prob

train wrecks. but acknowledge The
matter has been receiving serious at

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-ColoneI
w Tasker Bliss. the United States
v army officer. detailed as collector
Of customs at Havana. was before the
ways and means committee today con-
corning Cuban reciprocity. In opening
lis statement he disclaimed being a
sugar expert ana said his knowledge
was confined to that of an observer in
an official position dealing with the
trade of Cuba This had led him to
hopr that if there was any change in
the tariff it would be such an adjust
menU as would throw into the hands
of the United States the large amount
of Cuban trade now taken by foreign
countries.
Spt- -ing first of the condition of the
Cuban sugar industry. lie said il was
greatly depressed The Havana banks
were refusing further credits to the
planters ard when this occurred it was
o sure evidence of the distress of the
plantations. He estimated the sugar
industry OF the island at $500. 900 900
and said about three fourths of the
people were dependent in one way or
another on the sugar industry.
Wants Specific Information.
Chairman Payne asked Colonel Bliss
20 specify what advantages the United
States could gain from Cuba and Mr..
Payne also called sltention to the low
tariff rate Cuba imposed against the
United states. Colonel Bliss said the
average ad valorem rate was about 2l
per cent and ne presented tables de-
-igLed TO show how tariff readjust-
ment could throw practically all of the
Cuban trade into the hands of Ameri-
Cad producers.
He also submitted list of articles
ON which differential of about 80 per
cent favorable 70 the United States as
against Other foreign countries. would
give us the trade.
In reporting on this to the war de-
partment the condition had been i'm
posed upon HIM not to reduce the rev
enUes of Cuba. Under such circum-
stances he thought it would be neces-
sary first to raise Cubas tariff rates
for purposes of revenue and then re-
adjust them with a sufficient differ
entail to give the United States con-
