Favors Reduction of 80 Per
Cent in Cuban Tariff
Schedules.
Mr.. ROOT AGREES WITH HIM
Party Leaders Said to Be Rot Willing
to Make the Concession and VIII
Doubtless Make the Reduction 20 Per
Cent, as Heretofore Agreed Upon.

As expected. General Wood was not in
Washington long before he made the
statement that he hoped that a greater
concession than 20 per cent would be
made in the existing tariff on Cuban
schedules. He stih fayors a cut Of 80
per cent.
Some OF the more optimistic advocates
of Cuban reciprocity are hoping that a
compromise will be effected on a basis
of 25 per cent. The party leaders-that
Is, the ones who have been prominent in
the recent whipping into line of the beet
sugar insurgents on basis of 20 per
cent cut. are not much disposed to give
more.
Altogether it is not thought likely that
General Woods visit will have q great
deal Of effect upon the outlining OF he
programme for Cuban reciprocity. The
treaty Of peace OF that trouble has been
signed All the time the controversy was
waging Secretary Root was as strong an
advocate Of an extreme cut in the tariff
ns General Wood. The two hold aimost
Identical views on the subject.
Installation of New Government.
The real purpose of General Woods
visit at this time is said to be to arrange
for the installation Of the Cuban gov
rrnment on the island and the withdrawal
of the United States control. both mill
tary and civil.
General Wood is a guest at the White
House and will remain there during his
stay in Washington. He arrived there
about II o'clock yesterday morning. Af
ter meeting the President he went to the
War Department and had long talk with
Secretary Root. He returned to the
White House 10 luncheon and later 9e

Stand by Army Head.

In the meantime the Senators who are
members of the Committee on Military
Affairs are standing stoutly by General
Miles, to the extent that they hold that
anything he said to the committee shall
not be held against him. because it was
made in confidence and was supplemental
to the regular hearing. Many of them
have not hesitated to express their views.
In more than one instance the statement
has been made that President Roosevelt
will lose much politically If he attempts
to remove Miles for his statements made
before the committee.
Whether or not President Roosevelt
will be influenced to change his mind in
regard to retiring Miles remains to be
seen. There is little doubt that he was
much worked up over the incident, and
that he thinks that Miles is disturbing

Senator Aldrich Talks.
Senator Aldrieh. one of the Republican
leaders, yesterday expressed his belief
that the President would do nothing in
the matter. IF he does" said he, ''he will
find that General Miles has many friends
both in and out of Congress. and they will
be heard from very vigorously"
General Hawley. chairman of the Sen
ate Military Committee. is opposed to the
Root bill, although he introduced it at the
request of the Secretary. He SAYS he
hopes and believes the committee will
make an adverse report upon 1t. As for
General Miles testimony with regard to
the workings of the general staff system
in European armies, he says all military
men owe a debt OF gratitude to the COM
manding general of the army for the ex-
haustive exposition he made on the sub
iect.

MIR. George F. Washburn. President
Commonwealth Club OF Massachusetts
Boston, Mass:
My Dear Mr.. Washburn: Your favor
of the 18th instant reached me today.
You desire information Us to the truth
or falsity of the newspaper reports from
Washington making me an active condi-
date for the Presidency.
81 deeply regret these reports. Like
many others in the past. they are abso-
lutely unauthorized. They do not emaLatc
from myself nor from my friends. and
trust that the public will not be misied
by them.
Il have not been, and am not now, a
seeker for Presidential honors. My am
bition has ever been to faithfully serve
my country in whatever sphere duty may
have dictated. and this will be my sole
purpose in the future.
Very sincerely yours.

An Exhaustive Report.

For over 100 years Congress has made
no adequate provision for organizing, arm
ing, and disciplining the militia, and the
matter has been left entirely in the hands
Of the States and Territories. 1t is true
that Congress has made annual appropria-
tions for the purpose of aiding in the sup
port of the militia of the States and Ter
ritories, and the Fifty-sixth Congress in
creased this annual appropriation from
$500 900 to 100000. This annual ap-
preparation has been available for the
issue OF arms, ordnance stores. quarter
master stores. and camp equippage. but
otherwise the United States has assumed
no control or supervision over its ex-
penditure.
The principal expense OF maintaining
and supporting the organized militia of
the States and Territories has been borne
by the States and Territories them
selves. and while these troops are general
ly known and described as the national
guard. they are in no proper sense a ma
tional guard. but are strictly State
militia. and are not subject to the call OF

MR. PRITCHARD STILL
WANTS TILLMAN'S SCALP
Urges Investigation of Latter's
Charges Against McLaurin.
Objects to Resolutions Being Smothered
in Committee-Wants Dispute
Probed to the Bottom.

Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
will, at next Tuesdays meeting of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
urge favol able action upon his recon-
mendation for an investigation of the
charges made against Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina, by his colleague, SEN
ator Tillman, which led to the personal
encounter between these Senator's on the
floor of the Senate, February %
Senator Pritchard submitted a minor
ity report, recommending an investiga-
tion at the time the committee decided
that Senators Tillman and McLaurin
should be censured as there was no
power to expel them. A few members of
the committee and other influential Re
publicans endorse Mr.. Pritchard's pro-
posed investigation. but others are op-
posed. and it is not krown what action
the committee will take. ~
Views on Both Sides.
Senator Pritchard and those who agree
with him say that if Tillman's charges
are true McLaurin should be forced out
of the Senate and that If they are false
Tillman should be. The opposition argue
that an investigation will accomplish
nothing, as the only man whose testi-
mony would be of value-President Nc
Kinley-is dead. They are, therefore, in
favor of dropping the whole subject.
Senator Pritchard declares, however
that he does not mean to allow his reso-
luton to be smothered in the committee,
and will insist upon having it reported
either favorably or unfavorably. so that
the question involved in il can be
brought into the Senate and decided on
its merits.

WHO ARE FIT FOR MARRIAGE?
This Is q Pulling Enigma Which
Each Man Must Solve for
Himself.

Enigmas are plentiful in this world,
but none more puzzling than the
query: "When should a man marry?"
The clerk or mechanic earning any,
where from 81 to SIS per week has the
same desire to make a home for him
self, with presiding angel, of course,
as do those more lucky young men
with fortunes of their own. If the $40
clerk, let us say, is really in love, he
hugs to his heart not only the object
of his alteration, but the delusion that
the old adage is true, that what is
enough for one is enough for two"
But frequently the maiden fair who is
to do the presiding angel act does not
agree with him on this point. She may
have visions of seal skin coats, or even
automobiles, and other "necessaries"
of modern life. But it seems that the
German kaiser has issued an edict, in
view of the perplexed condition of the
public mind which settles the ques-
ton in his country, at least, so far as
army officers are concerned. The en-
peror has promulgated an order to
unless he receives salary of $1,1s5
a year and has also an income of 1878
more. That is to say, if he and his fu-
ture wife between them can muster
$500, the wedding bells may ring.
The hopes of the SIS young man are
dashed, for officers who get no more
than $3.50 year are forbidden to even
consider matrimony.
Neither are the sons of the rich
Americans without their matrimonial
troubles, continues writer in the
Detroit News-Tribune. Every one of
them must own city residence and
country home or seaside cottage"
which interpreted often means 'pal-
ace by the sea-" A writer in Harper's
Weekly suggests that national legis-
lation on this subject might be benefi-
cial, the details being classified some
thing as follows:
Bachelors who think the income of
one is enough for two, $4,000.
Bachelors who know the young
women are in love with them, and who
themselves are willing to go without
cluDS, cigars anu VdlelS, whatever tuey
may happen to have.
Bank cashiers whose fancees have
extravagant tastes, $4,000 a year.
Millionaires, 100000 a year and I'M
limited credit.
With the aid of some of these old
world ideas propounded by Wilhelm
H., salutary reforms may be instituted
here in, the taking of matrim onial
obligations.

Statistics of Education.

In education the three Slav coun-
.tries-Roumania, 'Servia and Russia
are the least civilized. In these coun-
tries the number of those who cannot
read or write is in the percentage of
80 for every 100 of population. Among
the Latin races Spain has the least
enviable record, namely, IS for every
100; next comes Italy, with 4s to 100,
and France and Belgium, with IA to
100. In Hungary the proportion is 43
to 100, in Austria 80, in Ireland 81, in
Holland 10 and in England s. The
white population of the United States
counts to 100, and Scotland z. The
countries purely German show a re-
markable reduction in the number of
the illiterate, the German empire hav-
ing but one illiterate to every 100 of
the population. In Bavaria, and, above
all, in Baden and Wurtemberg, there
are scarcely any. In Scandinavia
