The Cuban Treaty
ON the New York sun

From the New York sun.
President McKinley's Buffalo speech
or. as it was called "the Buffalo pro-
gram, was intended to prepare the way
for reciprocity rather with European
countries than with Cuba, with which
we had then. and must always have,
special and peculiar relations, requir-
ing special and peculiar treatment The
speech was neither an accidental nor an
immature utterance, but, coming, as it
did, from the greatest champion of the
American system of protection. it must
be considered as the expression Of de-
liberate and mature conviction. No
one familiar with the issues and dis
cussions of the last year can for a mo-
ment doubt that tae American people
are now in favor of a broader and more
liberal application of the principle OF
! reciprocity towards the Cuban republic
than towards any other country neal
or remote. This is as it should be
for, in the homely words OF Senator
Orville H. platt, 1--WE were under nC
obligation to adopt that orphan boy
but, having done so, we are bound {,
see that he has q fair start in life."

Revere-The dog of William A. Clark,
a laundryman living near Short beach,
got away one night recently and while
hunting him about midnight Mr.. Clark
discovered fire in the unOccupied cot
tage of Mrs, Banks, near the junction
of Endicott avenue and Winthrop ave-
nue.. A few minutes later Mr.. Clark
was able to rescue Mrs. Mary White,
formerly of Chelsea, and bedridden
invalid, from burning cottage.
The fire started in Mrs. Banks cot
tage, and was burning briskly when
discovered Mr.. Clark tried to ring in
an alarm, but the holder of the key
was away from home, and Mr.. Clark
had finally to- telephone an alarm.
When this was done, he found Mrs.
Whites cottage in flames also. In bed
was Mrs. White, and the only other
occupant of the house was Miss Mary
Burns, a servant.

American cardinal, and 1t was stated
by authority that 'the president has
made no request upon the pope for the
appointment of an American cardinal,
either directly or indirectly, in any
way, shape or manner"
1t also is declared to be untrue, as
has been stated, that any relative of
the president has visited the vatican
as his representative in church affairs.
1t is, Furthermore, stated that there
is mo foundation for the story that tho
president has requested that cardinal
be sent to attend the Worlds fair. No
such suggestion has been made by the
government of the United States, and
the president has invited no one, Of
royal blood or otherwise, to attend the
fair"

Forest Fire in Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.-A forest Are was the
unusual spectacle witnessed by hun
dreds of Chicagoans one night recently.
Four companies Of firemen fought the
blaze for hours. The fire started In
the barns of the Graceland Cemetery.
In q few minutes the hay sheds were
blazing fiercely. After destroying the
buildings and wagons the fire spread to
the shrubbery growth and trees which
covered tract of almost four square
blocks. The loss will exceed $4,000
The blaze was unique in the history
of the fire department, only a single
alarm being turned in, although the
firemen fought the blaze until they
were exhausted. The tract combines
almost virgin forest with carefully cul-
tivated shrubbery. Rabbits, squirrels,
gophers and other small animals
abound in the inclosure.
Scores of animals were killed as they
ran among the crowd, while Others
were captured and later turned loose.
Two frame buildings, three green
houses, twenty wagons and many tons
of hay were destroyed. while the large
growth of shrubbery and trees was al
most consumed.

But it is not in food alone that salt
was valued by the ancients. Among

Washington-The president has had
a conference with number OF leaders
in both houses of congress.
Those who called on him at the
White House were Secretary Moody,
Speaker Cannon, Senator'S Allison, Aid
rich, Platt Comm, Spooner, Hanna
Hale, Lodge and Wetmore, and Repre-
sentativas Payne. Dalzell. Tawney and
Hemenway.
It developed that the old controversy
between the house and senate over
the right Of the former to initiate all
revenue legislation was the principal
topic of conversation:
The members of the house claimed
that the present treaty provides that
during the life of the convention the
duty on sugar shall not be reduced
either by treaty or legislation. To
concede the position of the senate, they
assert, would be surrender of their
constitutional powers.
It is said that unless the contention
of the house is admitted there will be
the same difficulty presented as at the
last session, with the probability that
the measure will be defeated.
No conclusion was reached by the
conference.
The president said in the message
which he sent to congress that legisla-
ton to put in operation the CONNER
cial treaty with Cuba was demanded,
not only by our interest, but by our
honor. The message went on:
"The treaty submitted to you for ap-
proval secures to the United States
economic advantages as great as those
given to Cuba. Not an American in
terest is sacrificed. BY the treaty a
large Cuban market is secured to our
producers.
ut is a market which lies at our
doors, which is already large, which Is
capable of great expansion, and which
Is especially important to the develop
ment of our export trade.
ut would be indeed short-sighted
for us to refuse to take advantage of
such an opportunity, and to force Cuba
into making arrangements with other
countries to our disadvantage"
The message was read in each house
and referred to the appropriate COM
mittees. In the house a large number
of bills were introduced. No other
business of importance was transacted
before an adjournment.
