refuse to take advantage OF the op-

OUTLINE CUBAN POLICY
Declares Not an American Interest Is
Sacrificed by the Proposed
Commercial Treaty.

Washington, Nov. 10-President
Roosevelt's message to the extraord1-
nary session of Congress was read in
both the upper and the lower House to-
day The message follows:
To the Senate and House of Represent
atives:
81 have convened Congress that it
may consider the legislation necessary
to put into operation commercial
treaty with Cuba, which was ratified
| by the Senate at it's last session and
subsequently by the , Cuban govern
ment. | deem that such legislation is
demanded not only by our interest but
by our honor
1--WE cannot with propriety abandon
the course upon which we Sc wisely
embarked When the accept tnce OF
the Platt amendment was required OF
Cuba by the action of the Congress OF
the United States, this government
thereby definitely committed itself to
policy treating Cuba as occupying a
unique position as regards this coun-
trv.
1t was provided that when the is
nd became a free and independent
| republic she shoulQ stanc such close
relations with the Unite,. ates as in
certain respects TO come within our
system of international policy, and it
necessarily followed that she must al
so to certain degree, become includ-
ed within the lines Of our economic
policy.

Murphy. Charlie" was Charles F. Murphy, then treasurer of the dock board and now leader of Tammany Hall. The city was trying to buy half of a pier in which Murphy was inter- ested in behalf of a contestant. A price was arranged, approved by the dock board, but defeated by the sinking fund commission.

Wings.
 NEWPORT, R. l., July 2-The three American cup yachts raced again over a thirty mile windward and lesward course, and once more the Reliance demonstrated her superiority over the Constitution and Columbia. The 1903 boat defeated the Constitution by 5m. 3Os. and the Columbia by 5m. 49s. The latter was beaten 19s. by MT. Belmont's craft, but is an easy winner over her on time allowance.
 The time of 3h. Am. 27s. made by the Reliance betters the new cup course record of 3h. 9m. 53s., made on Monday by the new boat. The Constitution came within As. of the time made Mon day, and the old cup defender was but 23s. behind it.
 Not only was the beat to windward made in remarkably fast time by all the contestants, bVt on the run home, with spinnakers and ballooners pulling ike mad, the three sloops fairly flew. The Reliance again eXcelled the Consti tuition at this kind of sailing, covering the fifteen miles in 1h. i'm. 4S., better speed than most steamboats can make.
 The Constitution outran the Colum- bia but very little.
 Sir Thomas Lipton watched the race closely from the Erin. He kept his glass on the Reliance every minute and when the boats finished started back for Sandy Hook.

 VIENNA, July 2.-It is announced here that Bulgaria has sent circular to it's representatives abroad and the ministers of the powers in Sofia calling attention to the attitude of Turkey, which it declares, has not only failed to cooperate in carrying out the re- form scheme, but is concentrating troops and artillery on the frontier, where the Turkish soldiers under the guise of searching for arms are perpe- trating all sorts of outrages on the Bull garians in the hope of provoking an in- ternational conflict which, the note says, could only have disastrous re- suits for Turkey and Bulgaria. The note appeals to the powers to exert pressure at Constantinople to secure the withdrawal of the excessive Turk ish forces now stationed on the from tier. The Bulgarian government de clines to be responsible should Turkey continue its unfriendly attitude. =
 Tn reply to the Bulgarian note Count Goluchowski the Austrian foreign min ister, has promised that the Austrian ambassador at Constantinople will make representations to the porte with regard to the situation on the Bulga- riane frontier and will request the Turk ish government to avoid doing any thing which may induce Bulgaria to fake preventive measures. =, ..-~

 At Fourteenth and K streets the car stopped for little girl and her tS Smother. As myself and the end-seat enog were the only occupants of that seat, all of the others being pretty well filled, the little girl pointed it out 10 her mother, and very politely mo- tioned to her to get on first, which the mother did. The mother had troubles of her own in squeezing by the end Seat hog, but she didn't do any mur- muring.
 hCu IL was UQe 1lIL0 2lrlS turn. The little girl grasped the brass hand clutch with her right hand and swung herself aboard. Tn her left hand she had a nice, large, juicy cream puff that her mother had just given her out of a bagful of them. The little girl was trying to get past the end-seat hog, when the car suddenly started with jerk. The little girls left hand, the one holding the cream puff, shot out. in her instinctive effort to find something to lean against or grab hold of. The hand found something.

GUILTY OF PEoNA0E.
A Year Each For HI Treatment of
 NePrOe@.

Negroes.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 2.-In the United States court George D. Cosby and Barancas F. Cosby, farmers of Tallapoosa county, pleaded guilty to the charge of peonage and were sen fenced to serve one year and a day in the Atlanta penitentiary.
 There will be no more peonage trials till July 6. Then, besides peonage, there will be charges of whipping peons to death to hear. So strong are the government cases that more pleas of guilty on the charges of peonage and conspiracy are expected.
 Under Alabama law pleas of guilty are received and acted upon before any of the details of the case come out in court.
 Tn the case of peonage upon the body of Pike Swanson the government was prepared to prove that this man made a contract to hire with B. F. Cosby for wages after he was drunk. In two weeks he was arrested for drunken ness, sentenced, and when his time was about up he was arrested, carried by George and B. F. Cosby before J. M. Kennedy op Faces farm on false afti- davit, where he was forced to sign contract for fourteen months work. There was an understanding when this man was carried before this justice of the peace that there should be no real trial, that the affidavit should not be dccketed in the regular way. The afti- davlt was not placed upon the docket, no fine was paid for the negro and no costs were paid to the justice. It was a fictitious trial, a mock trial, for the purpose of securing the labor of this man. The negro was whipped, worked under guards and kept locked up at night.
