Presidents Messane.

To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: | have convened the con-
gress that it may consider the legis
lation necessary to put into operation
the commercial treaty with Cuba
which was ratified by the senate at it's
last session and subsequently by the
Cuban government | deem such
interest but by our honor. We can
not, with propriety, abandon the course
upon which we have so wisely en-
barked. When the acceptance of the
Platt amendment was required from
Cuba by the action of congress Of the
United States, this government there
by definitely committed itself to the
policy of treating Cuba as occupying
unique position as regards this coun-
try 1t was provided that when the
island became free and Independent
republic she should stand in such close
relations with us as in certain respects
to come within our system of interna-
tional policy; and it necessarily fol
lowed that she must also to a GER
tain degree become included within
the lines of our economic policy.
Situated, as Cuba is, it would not
be possible for this country to perm
the strategic abuse of the plan by any
foreign military power. 1t is for
reason that certain limitations have
been imposed upon her financial policy
and that naval stations have been con-
ceded by her to the United States
The negotiations as to the details OF
these naval stations are on 1.-THE eve OF
completion. They are so situated as
to prevent any idea that there is the
intention ever to use them against
Cuba or otherwise than for the pro
lection of Cuba from the assaults OF
foreign foes, and for the better safe
guarding of American interests in the
waters south of us.
These interests have largely in
creased by the consequences of the wal
with Spain and will be further in
creased by the building of the 18th
milan canal. They are both military
and economic. The granting to uS
by Cuba of the naval stations above
| alluded to is OF the utmost Importance

proof of the good faith with which Gu

night with him. Whisky and quinine
were given to him during the night
and in the morning he felt relieved.
''The following Saturday he took the
second degree. In the morning he
was found dead and his chum, who
has just taken the first degree, was in
a serious condition. The guilty ones

THE Bf-CARBONATE FIEND.

It has long been the practice of men
to drink a solution of bi-carbcn2te o.
soda whenever the stomach feels
trifle uneasy and wants to refuse some
thing that is forced into it against its
will. They imagine they find relief
The medical profession swore by its
beard that the acid stomach required
an alkaH and nothing was so desira bic
rs bi-carbonate. The lusher at the bar,
having had all he can carry, calls for =
dose of bi-carbonate to enable him to
continue lushing. The barkeeper playa
the doctor TO keep the fool buying and
swilling. Today we learn that bi-car-
Donate does not destroy the microbes
it was supposed to kill. Leading scien-
lists are agreed that it is most inJuri-
Gus to the system, and that the reaction
following its use is dangerous. Some
maintain that there is no such thing az
