The Cuban Senate has set an example

reciprocity treaty with three votes to spare
The Cuban Senate consists of twenty-four
members, and on the final vote sixteen
senators voted for the treaty, five against
II and there were three absentees, all of
whom ii is said would have voted for the
treaty had they been present. The Cuban
Constitution requires only majority to
ratify treaty. and IL received three more
than a majority. The treaty was discussed
for several weeks on its merits and as far
as known there was no ATTEMPT by the
minority party TO put the majority or the
administration lin the hole" The course
pursued by the United States Senate has
been very different A three months ses-

been ratified. was permitted to end with
out any action. necessitating an extra ses-

A dispatch from ST. Petersburg states
that Car Nicholas III has issued a decree
providing for freedom of religion through
out the entire empire, establishing meas
ure of local self-government and making
other concessions towards the reform OF
local laws and government. Fuller details
as to the nature and scope of the decree
will probably show that it will rank among
the important events of recent times.
For some years past the present Car mas
given evidences of possessing broad and
humane views and entertaining a sincere
desire TO promote the welfare of his people.
His father. Alexander III. possessed some
of the same characteristics and decreed
some liberal measures. including progress
sive emancipation of the serfs in 1881. but
he was not as mild a ruler or as broad
man as the present Car. Nicholas III sue
ceeded to the throne Nov. /, 1894. Some
OF the progressive acts of his reign have
been important judicial reforms in Siberia;
the adoption of the gold standard: the in
auguration of the international disarma-
ment congress in 1898: reform of the ST.
berian exile system; rapid development OF
the railway system of Russia: the transfer
of $4,000, 900 acres of land to the emanci-
pated serfs. The adoption of these reforms
does not imply that the present Car has
abandoned the theory of absolute govern
ment. but IT shows that he is disposed TO
relax its severity as much as he thinks
present conditions will justify.
1t Is probable the reforms inaugurated
by the new decree will prove TO be the most
important OF the present Cars reign. The
dispatch says IL is regarded the most
significant act of state since the emancipa-
ton Of the serfs. which was begun by his

March Mines and Minerals.
The market for copper has been domin-
ated for several years by the Amalgamated
Copper Company. That corporation main
tained prices at an artificially high
level in 1900 and during the greater
part Of 1901. and late in the latter
year created havoc in the trade
by making enormous sales at any price OBJ
tainable. There is reason to think that this
company is now well sold up, and there
fore in no position to long maintain prices
at lower level than warranted by the laws
of trade, though it could again make prices
unnaturally high by withholding produc-
ton, having facilities for marketing or
withholding from market large amount
of copper in addition to that made from
mines that it owns outright, or controls
through ownership of majority of issued
shares. What the policy Of the Amalga-
mated Company is and will be, is known
only to its Management The many columns
of matter printed regarding the plans Of
this corporation are pure speculations, as
the Amalgamated Company does not give
it's plans to the press before carrying them
into executionl There is some prospect
that the protracted and expensive litigation
between the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, and the United Copper Company
may be settled out of court This litigation
has been a great handicap to the copper
mining industry of Montana.
The four principal copper producing inter-
ests of the world are the Amalgamated
Copper Company; the Rothschilds' inter-
ests, controlling the Rio Tinto, Boleo. and
others; the Calumet & Hecla Mining Com
pany, and the Phelps Dodge & Co. group Of
mines The Amalgamated has made prices
and the others have marketed their produc-
tion at current figures.

BLIND LEADERSHIP.

The action of the blacksmiths. boiler
makers and machinists formerly employed
by the Colorado & Southern Railway Com
pany throws interesting sidelight on
the inside history of strikes, or, at least,
of some strikes. A few weeks ago trouble
sprang UP among the employees in the COM
pany's blacksmith shops. This trouble was
the company and did not concern the en-
ployes in other shops. 1t was nursed, how
ever, and finally represented to the
boiler makers and machinists in such a
way as to bring on strike and boycott.
No doubt. usual, there was an intelli-
gent minority opposed to the strike and a
hot-headed unreasoning majority in favor
of it. When the employees demanded GER
tain things of the company the latter re-
fused to comply, and the strike and boy
colt followed. Now, after il has been on
for some time, the strikers issue the fol-
lowing:
The blacksmiths, boiler makers and ma
chinists formerly employees OF the Colorado
Southern Railway Company desire
through the undersigned authorized COM
mittee to say that the recent strike of the
employees of the railway company was the
result of misunderstanding between the en-
ployes in the blacksmith shops and mis-
representation of their case to the boiler
makers and machinists. The railway COM
pany, having nothing to do with the con-
troversy, should not have been asked TO
take any part in it, and we consider that a
great mistake was made in demanding any
action on the part of the company. We
admit that the company acted fairly, and
we have no one to blame but ourselves for
our boycott, which has been declared off, is
now off. and we wish the public TO know
our attitude in the matter
This statement was issued on Wednes-
day and was submitted to the company
and the public the sentiment of the en-
tire body of men who went on strike. The
statement is creditable to their frankness,
but not to their intelligence. They deserve
credit for confessing to having made a
great blunder when they discovered the
fact, but they are censurable for having
made it in the first place. The statement
is an admission that they acted on misin-
formation, that the strike and boycott were
unjustifable, that the company had acted
fairly. and that I'VE have one TO blame
but ourselves for our boycott" How much
more sensible it would have been if they
had informed themselves of the true situa-
ton before striking.

The candidacy of President M. E. In
gals, of the Big Four Railway system.
for mayor of Cincinnati may develop some
surprises. At the last election the Repub-
licans carried the city by large majority,
but at that time the opposing candidate
for mayor had no claim for support from
business men or independent voters. Ev-
cry one will admit that Mr.. ingalls, has
such a claim. Although a Democrat of
the anti-Bryan and gold standard school,
he has taken very little part in politics.
He Is, however, well known as man OF
fine executive ability and business methods,
and great many people think that is the
kind of mayor large city ought to
have. That Mr.. ingalls, will receive con-
siderable support from the business men
and independent voters of Cincinnati, re-
gardless of politics, against any mere poll
tician or machine candidate the Republic
ans may put up is certain, but how much
remains to be seen. He is running a
citizens ticket The petition to the Board
of Elections to place this ticket on the bal
lot was signed by upwards of 1900 names.
OF which about one-half were those of WELL
known Republicans, prominent in business
and professional affairs. Whether Mr.. In
gals will receive the solid Democratic vote
or not is not known, but the magnitude
of his vote will be good test of the num-
Der of independent voters in Cincinnati
who think there are times. when executive
ability, business talent and personal char
acter are better equipment for mayor
than the wearing of a party badge.

THE TOM BENTON PRECEDENT.


Hartford Courant
Sunday was election day in the so-callei
republic of Colombia. The new Congress.
which in all probability-if Hon. John 7.
Morgan ever finishes his speech-will pass
upon the canal treaty, was elected. Two
suggestive statements appear in the dis
patch. These are that throughout Colom-
bia the members of the Liberal party gen
orally abstained from voting" and that
Bogota opinion-the opinion of the capital
city-on the canal treaty is much divided" 3"
Mr.. Morgan is still speaking in the Sen
ate. Apparently his brother senator's do
not as yet see their way TO shutting off
that continuous flow of oratory by permit
ting him to publish his speech complete
an executive session speech-in the Con-
gressional Record. One of them is quoted
as saying. perhaps humorously, that the
appearance of that speech in print would
be followed, as sure as guns, by declara-
ton of war. The Colombians are feeble
folk, he says, but they won't stand every
thing.
We wonder whether Mr.. Morgan knows
about the Tom Benton precedent. In the
summer OF l84S a grateful administration
desired to bestow upon Stephen w. Kearny
the brevet OF major general for gallant
conduct at San PasQual and for meritor-
ious conduct in California and New Mex
kearny and John c. Fremont had clashed.
Fremont was Benton's son-in-law. Ben
ton spoke for thirteen days in executive
session against the brevetting of Kearny.
and then published his speech. with ap-
pended documents. in the official paper
called in those times the Congressional
Globe. Apparently he did not even ask
the Senate's leave to divulge his speech.
Early in the first of the thirteen days he
gave notice of his intention to divulge it,
and followed up the notice by saying:
In doing this / shall violate no rule
of the Senate nor depart from that decorum
which Is above rules. l am the senior sem
ator. elected for thirty years, and should

know the rules, and mean TO observe them.
l love decorum, and mean to maintain it.
l attack no man in secret, and will make

We do not advise Mr.. Morgan to follow
the Tom Benton precedent: quite the con-
trary A treaty is a much more delicate
matter than a nomination. The feelings
OF another country, international relations
are involved. The wise fathers knew what
they were about when they shut the doors
before discussing treaties. The secrecy of
the executive session should be a fact and
not-as Is too often the case Nowadays

FINGER-PRINT SYSTEM.
English Police Authorities Adopt
"Pudd'nhead- wilson's Method.

Chicago Tribune.
Josiah Flynt. the well-known student of
sociology and criminology. has recently WIS.,
tied Scotland Yard for the study of police
methods in London. He reports his obser-
vations in the March number of the North
American Review and in the course Of the
article brings out point which may not
be generally known. 1t is that in the Eng
lish police methods the Bertillon system OF
measuring criminals as means OF identi-
fication has been discarded in favor of fin
ger prints.
The fnger-print system was introduced
by the home office at the instance Of the
assistant commissioner of police, who had
made careful experiments with ii while
serving in the police administration of In
dia and who became satisfied by the re-
suits of the experiments that II was greatly
superior to as well as simpler than the Ber-
tillon system. The commissioner assigns
several reasons why the finger print is a
more effective means of establishing iden-
tity. 1t only needs piece of tin and some
printers ink. whereas the instruments
used in the Bertillon system are costly and
likely to get out of order. Measurers by the
latter system must be trained experts, but
any one. after half hours practice, can
take finger prints. If Bertillon measure
ments are taken inaccurately or are read
or transcribed incorrectly no change can
be made, but in taking finger prints there
can be no error made. Again. margin has
TO be allowed in the Bertillon system for
1.-The personal equation error" of operators.
but no such allowance is needed in the
other system. Lastly in the Bertillon sys-
tenn search for certain record has 10 be
made according to the somewhat compli-
Gated limits and subsidiary limits of a
figured key" the details of which even
practiced searchers could not be trusted to
commit to memory, whereas in the other
system no key Is required. The classif1ca-
tions are simple and the search an easy one.
Mr.. Flynt illustrates the rapidity and
ease with which the search Is made by his
own case, two sets Of Impressions or his
fingers having been taken. one OF them To-
Gated In the general file, and identified by
the operator having the duplicate In less
than two minutes. AS to the possibilities
of confusing resemblances, Sir Frances
Galton, the scientist, declares that mot
one finger impression out of 81, 600 900, 900 Is
likely to resemble the other" From all
this ii appears that the finger-print system
has everything in its favor-inexpensive-
ness, simplicity of operation, absolute free
dom from error, ease In recording and
searching. the absence of all complication.
and, best of all, infallbility, which seldom
has been claimed for the Bertilon system.
AS its points of superiority to the latter are
so manifest and so we'll established by ac-
tual use in one of the most famous centers
of police administration. 1t would seem wise
the matter little with the view of increas-
ing the efficiency of the service by adopting
the modern method of preserving record
of criminals.
