ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
in Regard to His Appoint
ment as Cardinal is Unchanged.

Rome, March 1.-THE situation with
regard to the appointment of Archbish-
op Ireland as cardinal is unchanged.
Personages of high authority at the va
tican say that his nomination is likely
on two contingencies-aS a reward when
the Philippine question is satisfactorily
solved, or in the event Of his nominal
ton being asked for directly or indi-
rectly by the supreme authority of the
United States. Regarding the views of
the apostolic delegates at Washington
as to the wisdom of such an appoint
ment, the vatican has always instruct
ed the apostolic delegates to keep in
touch with the trend of public opinion
ever since Cardinal Satolli vas at
Washington, when the vatican under
stood that President Cleveland would
view with satisfaction the nomination
of Archbishop Ireland.

Great Interest Aroused by Debate
on the Religious Orders.

Paris. March 1.-THE chamber of
deputies was the centre of great inter-
est and animation today at the opening
of the debate on the religious orders
A large crowd filled the galleries and
the floor Of he chamber was also
crowded. The ministerial bench was
occupied by Premier Combes and most
of his associates in h ministery.
Previous discussions of the subject this
season have involved incidental phases.
such as the use of the Breton dialect in
the schools. but today'S debate involved
the main issue, the question Of the dis
continuance Of teaching by the relig-
ious orders. The matter came up on a
proposition submitted by the premier
refusing the request for authorization
to teach, made by fifty four male relig-
ious congregations. This had been
made a special order of the day, he
expectation of the majority being that
the debate would continue six to ten
days before a decisive vote could be
taken. Owing to the strength shown by
the ministry on the recent test votes
the adoption of the premiers proposition
was considered practically certain.
The early stages of the debate today
were devoid of exciting features. The
Able Gayraud, Catholic republican and
NJ. LeRolle, conservative, spoke against
the prOpOSitiOp.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY TREATY
Senate Committee On Foreign ReIa-
tiOns ~uthOriz n Favorable Re
port.

Washington, March 12.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
authorized a favorable report on the
Cuban reciprocity treaty with an
amendment similar to that recommend
ed in connection with other reciprocity
treaties, providing hat the treaty shall
not take effect until approved by the
house of representatives as we'll as by
h senate.
The amendments made to the treaty
by the committee at the last session Of
congress were renewed at today's meet
ing and were accepted without discus
sion. One of these provides for a re-
duction of forty per GER in h tariff
on American cattle shipped into Cuba,
and the other is a provision prohibiting
in explicit terms a further reduction
than 90 per cent. in the duty on Cuban
sugar shipped into the United States
and also prohibiting reductions in the
rates CT sugar coming into the United
States from other countries.
The amendment providing for the
submission of the Cuban treaty to the
house was offered by Senator Bacon.
At the last session of congress-, the
committee refused to attach it to the
treaty, but when 1t was presented to-
day it was accepted after very little
discussion. The principal reason for its
acceptance was that members of the
house have urged in strong terms the
constitutional right of that body to pass
upon all reciprocity treaties because of
their effect. upon the Sena-
tor Bacon strongly supported this view
but other members of the committee
generally tool the position that the ac-
ton of the house was not necessary to
render the treaty of binding effect. No
formal vote was taken upon the
imouS consent.
amendment would materially facilitate
the ratification of the treaty.
The committee recommends that the
amendment be added 1T the end of the
treaty. Its exact language is as fol-
lows: This treaty shall not effect I'M
til the same shall have been approved
by the congress"
The democratic senator's as 4 rule eN-
press themselves as satisfied to allow
the Cuban treaty to be acted upon, with
the amendment for submission to the
hOuse added. They say that this addi-
ton meets their demands on the QueS-
ton of principle, that if there is any
further opposition it will come from
individual senators and not from the
democrats as a whole. 4 leading dem
ocratic senator said today, after the
treaty as amended had been reported
to the senate: I'VE shall not stand in
the way of the treaty n it is my
opinion tina it will be ratified if a
quorum can be maintained"

A Little Too Smart.

The clever young fellow was Wander

railway station, intent on finding an
empty carriage in the express which
was almost due to start, says Short

Still, it is difficult to disappoint a
clever young man when he has set his

"AI1 change, here; his carriage isn't

the empty carriage, and lit a cigar.

head in the window and said:

civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
li~ousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution Or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of u~ndigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a

TOURISTS TO HAWAII.
Vravel to the Islands Has Greatly
Diminished and IL Being
Encouraged.

Hawaii wants tourists, and her COM
mercial bodies are taking active steps
to secure them. 1t is proposed to open
headquarters in Honolulu, in San Fran
cisco and in Los Angeles, CAL, and to
carry on an energetic campaign
throughout the country to bring the
attractions of the Islands to the att
tention Of the travelling public. With
this end in view all sorts Of advertising
schemes are being considered, and it is
likely that a good deal will be done
in the next few months to oattractsour-
lists.
The desire for tourists is one OF
Hawaii's reasons for opposition to the
idea Of national leprosaria, as set
forth in the Mitchell senate commits
sion's report. If the leper settlement
is made a national one, Hawaii will in
evitabIy get the name of "leper coun-
try" The universal dread OF leprosy
is such that reputation OF this sort
would keep people away from the is
lands. The average person does not
know that there are 80 miles OF ocean
between Honolulu and the island on
which the leper settlement is located,
and that there are thousands OF resi-
dents of Honolulu who have never seen
a leper in their lives and never wall.
The average person has in his mind
picture of the islands all punched to-
gether and all the same, and il the ma.
tional leper settlement is in Hawsli
the islands win naturally be a loper
country.
Years ago Hawaii had tourist traos
that was quite large. Then there was
the monarchy and its court to attract
visitors, and it was an interesting little
monarchy. The court was easily APP
proachable and the brilliant scenes it
supported naturally attracted the
sightseer. The stops Of travellers in
city mean lively business, for no trav y
eler fails to spend some money in any
city in which he stops. Hawaii has al
most wholly lost this trade. 1t began
falling off when the native govern
ment was finally superseded by an
forced to an utter stop when the plague
was reported in Honolulu and the
Hawaiian board of health began a rigid
quarantine. Some tourists feared the
plague, but all of them feared the quar-
antine, for it was impossible for sew
eral months TO leave the country with
out submitting to nine days confne-
ment under medical supervision, and
taking an injection of the Haffkine
prophylactic, which is decidedly un-
pleasant in its effects. The trade has
never revived.
Honolulu associations discussing the
tourist business refer to the city Of
Los Angeles, which has more summer
visitors every year by large margin
than the $4,000 population Of Honolulu.
It IS the intention TO try to divert some
