DELAY OF CUBAN SENATE.
Treaties Not Likely To Be Settled at This
Session.

Havana May 1S.-The intention of the Sen
ators to allow the treaties between the United
States and Cuba. now pending to go over to
the winter session OF Congress appears to be
more and more evident. 1t is officially stated
at the palace that the treaties Will be sent to
the Senate within a fortnight. The Senators
and Representatives expect final adjournment
of Congress before the middle of June The
Senate Committee Foreign Relations has not
made any move toward the ratification of the
original naval coaing stations agreement. 1t
is now proposed that the Senate authorize Presi-
dent Palma to carry out the details regarding
the naval bases to make unnecessary the
ratification of a secondary agreement. The Platt
amendment treaty has practically been agreed
by President Palma. Secretary of state Baldo
and the United States minister, Mr.. Squfers.
The Isle of Pines treaty is at present in abey-
ance.
Extensive preparat tons are being made Tor
the public and private celebrations next
Wednesday of the Cuban Republics first ANN

works at Havana will be on a large scale

INJURED JOCKEY DEAD.
Lawrence Barry, Who Was Hurt at Races,
Passes Away at Fordham Hospital.

Lawrence Barry. the jockey, who was injured by
a fall while riding Seminole in the Knckerbocker
Handicap hurdle race, at the Morris Park track.
last Wednesday, died in the Fordham Hospital
last night. His death had been expected for more
than twenty-four hours He was unconscious. mis-
pulse irregular and his breathing labored. Barry
was Cne of the best known Jockeys on the Eastern
turf.
Coroner O'Gorman said last night that he would
make the inquest into the death Of Barry the oc-
casion a thorough investigation of steeplechas-
ing and hurdle racing conducted at Morris Park.
He said he would endeavor to place the reSponSl-
bty in every possible way. and added;
Many horses have been entered in hurdle races
and SteeDlechaseS when they were wholly unit
The big purses have led many owners to sacrifice
horses and jockies in their attempts to capture
the money. The fact of eleven horses falling in a
in which fourteen were entered. as occurred
at Morris Park few days ago, Is truth evident
that something is wrong with American racing.
Hurdle races and steeplechases should be on a
par with such racing in England, and better horSes
should be used in the sport.

Broadway and Sxty-eighth-st., where several
Italian women, evidently strike sympathizers,
had been intimidating the men at work on the
subway. Stones were thrown indiscriminatey.
Four were arrested, and later discharged.
The work of construction at this point Is un
der the charge of William Bradley. AS the
men reported for work they found groups of
women at the several entrances of the subway.
Little notice was paid to them at first, but be-
fore long il became apparent that some definite
move would have to be made against them
Then a volley of stones was thrown one man
in the pit was knocked down. Half a dozen
men who were about go down into the tun-
mel were met by the women. One who at
tempted to dart past them was pushed aside

N4V4L Base IN CUB4.
This Government Preparing to Ac-
Quire Guantanamo.

Washington. May 1S.-The United States Gov
ernment is going ahead steadily with plans for
requirement of the naval base at Guantanamo,
and has taken steps to have the land surveyed
and channels marked. This work in advance or
the approval by the Cuban Government OF the
formal treaty ceding the stations to the United
States. it is learned proceeds with the sanction
of the Cuban Government. 1t is believed that
the treaty proper cannot be finally disposed or
before next year. for the question of the SOW
ereignty of the Isle of Pines has become In
volved with It, and it mas been suggested that
the two subjects be treated in one convention.
The Cubans believed to favor this plan,~ as
they entertain a suspicion that after having OBJ
tanned title to the coaling stations in ratified
treaty, the United Safes Congress might not
carry out the implied obligation TO surrender
title to the Isle of Pines Cuba.

STATEHOOD FIGHT AGAIN

Presidents Western Trip Sad to

my TELEGRAPH To THE rR1BrxE. ]


Washington May 1S-Delegate Rodey. of New
Mexico. arrived in Washington to-day with the
positive statement that the friends of Statehood
had agreed on programme, which would begin
TO operate with the first dav of the next session
of Congress, the effect of which will be TO block
all legislation until the Statehood question is
settled. While separate bills make each one
of the four Territories a State will be introduced
as the first step, he predicts that the better
thought" compromise bill agreed on by the Sem
ate leaders at the last session will be the final
outcome. This viii combine New-Mexico and
Arizona into State and the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma into another.
President Roosevelt's journey through the
Territories was arranged part of the State
hood campaign Mr.. Rodey said, and he is con-
fdent that the mind of the executive has been
freed from SOM prejudices given TO him by the
uncompromisng antagonists of the Territories
last winter.
When President Roosevelt was Vice-Presi-
dent he enthusiastic advocate of State
hood for the Territories declared Mr.. Rodey.
and the reception just given to him at the
hands of tbs, citizens of NewMexico. together
with what he had been able TO see of our Won
derful development and thriving business con-
ditions has undoubtedly made impression
on his mind. entirely different from the false
report made TO him last winter / believe II
President Roosevelt could have taken this trip
AT that time he would have thrown his weight
on the side of Statehood at the last session
The President was received every hand with
the utmost respect At Albuquerque and Santa
Fe he was greeted by over thirty thousand
people He did not say word about Statehood.
and consequently did not touch the vital spot
which would have iniamed the whole populace
with spontane US enthusiasm 1 am sure how
eyer that his welcome and treat tment made the
right kind of impression on him. Banners
greeted him at every hand, in letters four feet
high bearing such messages as Roosevelt
1oo3-and Statehood We would like to vote
for YOU etc. The Presidents only reference
20 Statehood in his speeches in the Territory
was after he had discussed the value or lrrlSa-
tion and development. He pointed TO young
woman standing Just on the outside OF the renee
Enclosing the assembly. When these things are
acconlplished.' he concluded. it Will be time for
nv Young friend over there to come inside
Mr. Rodey declares that a perfect understand
ing has been reached by the friends OF State
hood and that these friends are numerous
enough in Congress to put through the better
thought bill.

ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.

There is an intensely interesting ar.
ticle, in the Cosmopolitan for January
In which the writer begins with the
statement that at least two American
citizens, Messrs. Rockefeller and Nor
gan each control one thousand millions
OF dollars, and then proceeds TO discuss
the possibilities Of such enormous mold
ing. Think Of it! Ten thousand
men, laboring every day, at average
wages, for two thousand years, could
only roll up an aggregate equal to the
sum accumulated by one man in a
short life time preceding 1903"
The writer then adds: "Let us sup
pose these millions in the hands of a
thoroughly ambitious man. He de-
termines to exercise to the fullest such
force as they give. What then? He

MrnTAX.

The direct loss due to hauling pro
duce over our bad roads appears to con-
sutute a mud tax Of over $500, 900, 600 a
year, making mud tax Of over 5000
600 for each working day IN the year
and nearly $500 yearly for every man,
woman and child in this country. The
indirect loss probably equals like

Gnnn ROADS MOVEMENT.

Il is high time that the nation
States, counties and municipalities
were uniting to Improve the conditions
of the public roads of the land, and
therefore il is with delight that we
hail the prospect Of Bureau Of Public
Construction, TO be conducted under
the general supervision OF the secretary
Of agriculture. The disgrace of bad
roads has rested long enough on the
American people, and they have been
bearing the indirect tax burden Of bad
roads all too long
The bill Of Mr.. Brownlow, now be
fore the House of Representatives, on
this subject is the most important
now demanding the attention Of our
representatives in Congress.
