CUBAN RECIPROCITY TREATY
California Still Expresses Strong Op.
position-Beet Sugar Meeting
Thursday.

Washington, JAN 7-Friends of
Cuban reciprocity in the eastern
states are more hopeful than for some
time. Mr.. Oxnard is going about Wash
ington saying that it would be better
to have the treaty ratified now, with
the standing objections to it which
the beet sugar people have found
than to have the beet sugar industry
paralyzed by continuation of the agi-
tation Scores of plans for the extern
sion of the industry in numerous
states have been abandoned on ac-
count of this agitation and cannot be
revived until the agitation ceases.
All this sounds very we'll, but un
der cover it is said that Mr.. Oxnard
is still opposing the treaty as hard as
ever. Strong kilograms from the
beet sugar industries in California,
outside of those controlled by Oxnard,
came yesterday to the California SEN
ators, urging them to fight the treaty.
These kilograms will be sufficient to
hold the California senators in line
against the treaty.
Other beet sugar manufacturers are
known to take similar ground, but the
attitude of the industry as a whole
will be disclosed through the meet
ing in this city Thursday. If the east
ern friends of Cuba have no more
to depend on than Mr.. Oxnard's talk
in Washington, they are leaning on
broken reed. Mr.. Oxnard doesn't
necessarily mean all he says on this
question. At the same time there
is a general feeling that the Cuban
treaty is now in better form than it
has been for long time, and that
some of the difficulties in the way of
ratification are being removed.

WILL QUIT SELLING TO COAL
CARRYING ROADS.
ARE NOW SPECTATORS
Big Companies Say They Will Not
Follow the Lead of the
Independents.

New York, Jan. loving to action
taken by the Independent coal opera
tors there will be none or very little
coal at $3.50 for the consumer dur.
ing the rest of this winter. Hereafter
all the coal which the independents
have sold to the railroads at $3.25
will be sold to the public at $40.
Coke Bros, the largest independ ent
operators in the anthracite fields,
have notified the trade that their coal
will in future be sold at the higher
price. John Markle, another large
independent operator of the Lehighs
valley, will also fix $40 as his price.
Five million tons of independent coal
are affected by this action
The retailers are skeptioal about
there being any railroad coal to sell
at S.
IF there is," said one of them, Il
haven't seen it. For the past week |
have received practically no railroad
coal whatever and my opinion is that
the same condition of affairs will con-
tinue for several weeks to come
While there was danger of people
buying soft coal owing to it's cheap
ness over anthracite, the railroads
kept down the price of the hard coal.
but now that sofe ccal has reached
$3.50 they feel safe in putting it up.

NOT MAN WANTED.
Proof at Hand That Smith Could Not
Have Been at Bearmouth.

Livingston, Jan. 7.-Proof is at
hand that Joseph Smith, now under
arrest at Anaconda on the charge of
being the man who held up the North
ern Pacific train near Bearmouth in
October, is not the man wanted.
The Inter Mountain containing the
picture of Smith arrived today The
picture served to Identify Smith as
a man who worked in the Yellow
stone National park during the sum
nier and fall, just as he claimed in
his interview with the Standards An
aconda correspondent
Captain H. NJ Crittenden of the
United States engineer corps, who is
in charge OF the work in the park,
says positively that Smith was in his
employ continuously from September
16 to December 20, and hence could
not have been anywhere near the
scene of the robbery in the western
part of the state on that night in
October.

POWERS REPLY TO PRESIDENT
cAsTRo's PROPOSAL.
DIFFERENCES ARE DlMISHEO
A Possibility That a Conclusion May
Be Reached Without Applying
to The Hague.

Washington, Jan. 7-Secretary
Hay has received the British answer
to President Castros last proposal
relative to arbitration. 1t is assum-
ed that the British note reflects the
views Of the German government as
the allies have been acting in har-
mony so far.
The note is interlocutory, but in
substance states that if Venezuela
wishes conference with a view to
submitting the differences between
the two countries to arbitration, Great
Britain will accede. The conditions
attached vary slightly from the orig
inal British proposition, but, in the
judgment of officials here, the differ
ences between the allies and Vene-
zuala in respect to arbitration are
much diminished, and there is war
rant for the expectation that the case
will now surely go to The Hague.
The next step will be reply from
President Castro.
Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE joint reply of
the powers to Castro's qualified ac-
ceptance of arbitration was handed
to the United States ambassadors at
Berlin and London today.
The note aims to further smoothe
the way for settlement, which may
possibly be reached without arbitra-
tion.

EoLD ROBBERY.
Thief Breaks Window and Steals
Fat Purse.

Great Falls, Jan. 7.-This morning
shortly after 2 o'clock some one broke
the window of the Progress restau-
rant at No. 6 Second street south, at
the same time breaking through a
cigar case which stood on the end of
the lunch counter near the window.
He snatched "a purse containing $40
in change and made his escape.
Three employees of the restaurant
were in the place at the time but out
of sight of the window, and they did
not reach there in time to see any
thing except the big hole in the win
dow and in the cigar case The thief
on the outside and it took some effort
to break the fastenings.
A. Gardner, proprietor of the place,
a short time before had taken $27O
in currency from the purse and plac-
ed it in the cash register, and only
for that fact the haul would have
been much greater.
The place where the robbery occur
red is three doors from Central ave-
nue., and is in the full glare of half a
dozen electric street lamps, one. of
them being directly over the door of
the restaul Int. The thief was evil
IDENTITY desperate.
John S. krquette was the only man
in sight wlen the employees of the
restaurant got to the street. He was
arrested and given a ten days SEN
tence for vagrancy until further in
vestigation. The police are looking
for another man whom they believe
to have committed the deed. They
expect to make his capture soon.

THE ENGLISH COAL TRADE.
The American Demand Causes a
Boom Abroad.

London, Jan. THE year has open
ed with excellent prospects for the
north of England coal trade. The con-
ditions which applied at the close
of 1902 still obtain and are even ac-
centuated, as it is abunda,ntly evident
that the American demand is destined
to continue for some time yet. The
West Indies are now under the neces-
sity of obtaining coal from this coun-
try, and there are positive orders in
the market for Havana and Cienfue-
gos, in addition to those for New
York, Boston and Providence, for
which steamers are being fixed to
lead in the Tyne.
The American demand for English
coal has had an unlooked-for effect
in preventing AN expected decline in
Northumberland miners wages. The
average selling prices during the last
three months have been so well main
tanned that the conciliation board has
agreed that wages shall remain un-
changed for the succeeding three
months.

FAKE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY.
Denver Police Mean to Get After
Ogden SwindIers.

Denver, Jan. 7.-Chief of Police
Armstrong of this city has telegraph
ed the police authorities of Ogden
Utah, to the effect that certain EN-.
ploment agencies in that city are
shipping men into Denver on promise
of securing work for them here. The
chief says the particular employment
promised the men does not exist nor
has the Ogden agencies any connect
ing branches in Denver.
He declares the scheme is one for
money-making. The Ogden concern
is charging the men sent out at a
rate averaging 50 each above the
cost of transportation, retaining the
excess themselves.
The Ogden police have been asked
to stop the practice. It is said that
something over 400 men have been
shipped into Denver, the majority of
whom are now idle. The action of
Chief Armstrong was prompted by
complaints of several of the men who
are stranded here for lack of funds.

EVEN AT SCRANTON.
Everyone in a Position to Get Coal
Has Turned SpecuIator.

Scranton, Pa, Jan 7-Serious as
the coal situation has been it is be-
coming more acute and the prices
here as we'll as elsewhere appear to
be going higher daily. Six dollars
ton was charged here today for some
of the best stove sizes. Even at the
price quoted it is difficult to get the
coal delivered at points a few blocks
away from the breakers. Scranton
is suffering from the famine just as
New England and other points are
doing. Almost every one in posi-
ton to get coal has turned speculator
No one eyeraremembers such a situa-
ton here as can be found at the pres
ent time.
The big coal companies claim that
they bitterly oppose the stand taken
by the independents TO make money
out of the misfortunes of the people.
One of the local officials of the coal
carrying roads today stated that they
were mining coal not temporarily but
as business, and they would not
dare to follow the lead of the indie
pendents in this matter There is
growing Indignation among the con-
sumers of coal in the Laekawanna
region and threats are made of carry
ing the matter to the legislature.

Ennalizes Hines Tax.

The town board of review have
followed the action Of last year S
board and have placed the equaliz-
alton of the Hines tax on practically
the same basis as last year The
Board at first were inclined to place
Dig tax upon the Hines people, but
atterlooking thoroughly into the
matter decided that the course of
the board last year in making a big
reduction to the Hines people was
all right and endorsed their action
by reducing the assessed valuation
about ten per cent. The company
was assessed for 1863, 600, and at the
meeting of the board Thursday were
equalized at $500, Goo. The company
is entirely satisfied with the liberal
manner in which they were finally
treated by the board, and as there
has been but little comment upon
the street the balance of the bust
ness and taXpaying interests are
apparantly well satisfied.

AND A VERY WARM ONE roo.
The Usual Routine of Business is Tram
acted-Resolution Ratifying Former
Tax Certificate Sale Is Passed
After a Hot Fight.

The county board met at the
court house Tuesday and trans
acted a few business matters
PERTAINING to the county's well
fare. All the members were
present and as has been the
custom lately there were some
lively debates.
A resolution confirming and
ratifying the action of the county
board of August 81, 1900, when
they directed that quit claim
deeds be issued to D. M. Maxcy
for all the county lands, aroused
a good deal of controversy and
was finally passed with an
amendment presented by Mr..
Yates which did not change the
effect of the resolution. There
was a warm fight over this reso-
luton in which Mr.. Maxcy's in
terests, handled by Attorney
Mcleod, won out.
1t was decided to paint the
roof of the Court House and
Chairman Yates was appointed
to look after the work.
A petition signed by a large
number of citizens requesting
the county to purchase and keep
a brace of trained blood hounds
for the pursuit of criminals was
presented to the board and the
county clerk was instructed to
secure all possible information
in rega1 d to cost, ETC., and pre-
sent it to the board at it's next
meeting. 1t is not at all impro-
bable that favorable action will
be taken as the citizens of the
county seem to be in favor of
it and surely something needs to
be done to put a stop to the
wholesome commission of crime
that has beeen taking place here
the past few months.
