FRESH YOUNG MEN
 HIT WRONG TOWN
cANVASSERS FOR PICTURE EN- LARGING HOUSE ATTEMPT TO GET GAY WITH SELMA GIRLS AND ARE NOW IN JAIL.

Selma, April 1O.-(SpeciaD Three young men of party of seven who have been in the city for the past few days con- neeted with a Chicago picture enlargement concern, are resting in the county jail tonight for insulting and giving offense to two young ladies, daughters of prom inent families of the city.
 The young men were strolling down Broad street when the two girls, for they have been in their teens but few years passed them. They remarked on the beauty of the Selma girls, but said these two were the prettiest in the city The young ladies hastened their steps and they were called to wait and i've will all walk together"
 They went on down the street and one of the young ladies informed her brother. The latter told them to go across the street and pass the men and that he would watch them This they did and the three turned around to follow them. Then the angry brother went up and com menced punching the head of one of the men. He kept this up, while the others were attempting to explain that they meant no insult, and soon Chief of Police Walters came up and arrested the trio.
 They gave their names as J. H. Bowen, A. E. Miller and B. Bishop. They claim not to have been addressing the young ladies. but were talking about a young lady in a store who was a friend or Bishop.
 They will be tried tomorrow morning before the mayor and will likely receive severe punishment if it is proven that they wantonly offended the young ladies.

Word reached the city today of a bold highway robbery committed yesterday about five miles from Demopolis. Chief of Police Goodman Griffin was here today looking for the perpetrator of the robbery, whose name is Will Scott, and who Is described as being about five feet eight inches high of a light ginger-eake color, and it Is said he had on a blue jumper and tan shoes when last seen. Twenty dollars reward is offered for his capture.
 MT. Walter Williams, a nephew of Rep resentative Jake Williams, and also a nephew of Sheriff Nasty of Marengo county, was the victim of the negro S greed.
 Young Williams was riding along the road when the negro came up and rode along with him for mile or two. He then turned around as if to go back to Demopolis, but whirled and struck young Williams over the head, knocking him to the ground.
 He then robbed him of $27 and left him to die, for aught he knew, alongside the road. Some negroes coming along later saw the inanimate figure and going up to 1t succeeded in reviving the young man and getting him to his home
 Every effort is being made to apprehend the negro and if caught he will be sever ely punished.

Congress at Havana Finds Numer-
u Pretexts for Delaying Ac-
ton on Important Matters.
POLITICS A POTENT FACTOR.
Election Takes Place in December
and Politicians Are Chary of
Speaking in Favor of the
Platt Amendment.

Havana. May a.-The disposition to delay
action on the pending treaties, coupled with
the fact that the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee still shows no indication of re-
porting the coaling and naval stations
agreement. made February Is. between
President Roosevelt and President Palma. Is
causing increasing doubt as to whether all or
any OF the matters will be disposed of be-
fore the close Of the present session of
Congress. :
Congress is likely to adjourn = within six
weeks. The next session will begin in No
Tember, simultaneously with the special
reciprocity convention Of the United States.
President Palma is anxious to conclude all
treaties as early as possible. but he takes
occasion to consult with Senators and Rep
resentatives at ell stages. with the result
that numerous objections and pretexts for
delay are made.
No real question is pending in connection
with either of the treaties.
The placing of the Plat amendment into
the form of a treaty is Cuba's own PROPOSE
ton. made with the purpose Of taking the
Plat requirements out of the Constitution
ard out Of politics.
The treaty lconceding the Isle of Pines to
Cuba causes no objection here. The only
treaty in which there is room for discussion
Is that Tor carrying out the agreement of
the Presidents. referring to the leasing
OF coaling and naval stations. which il
strictly in accordance with the Platt
amendment.
Some persons who favor delay hold that
Cuba is not bound to yield the concessions
required by the Plat amendment, unless
the United States grant reciprocity. This
contentiouis based upon the allegation that
President Mckinley definitely promised
reciprocity. 1t is also held that, since the
United states Is retaTding reciprocity, Cuba
mas equal reason to retard other matterss
Others assume that the amount of lands
described In the naval and coaling agree
ment is u~nwarrantedly large. The leaders
generally. although disinclined to discuss
The matter, appear to agree that there Is
no necessity for haste: that whatever Cuba
gains viii be through a waiting policy.
Some Senators and Representatives who.
as members of the constitutional conven-
ton. opposed the Plat amendment. saw 1t
would be inconsistent to vote for the amend
ment now.
Another potent reason for delay is found
In the fact that the elections for half Of
the members of Congress and all mun;cipal
officers are to be held in December, and
politicians are not inclined to sneak IN
favor of carrying out the provisions of the
Plat amendment during the campaign. and
especially as 1t is anticipated that the
House, as well as the Senate, will be re-
CURED to act in authorizing the leasing of
lands 10 a foreign Government.
President Palma's influence is felt to he
strong enough, II determined.y exercised, to
carry those matters through the House as
well as the Senate.
