Francis Joseph a Good Manager.

Washington Post.
 The student of European history can not but marvel at the success Francis Joseph of Austria has achieved in the management of a thoroughly discordant and turbulent people. Within his em- pire are Germans, Bohemians, Croatians. Transylvanians, Bosnians, Styrians, Mag vars, Dalmatians. Tyrolese and perhaps a dozen other lesser factions, all speak ing different tongues, all proud and jealous and cN eager for advancement to the point of domination in the affairs of the empire. It is difficult to understand how these people have been restrained from flying at each others throat and Is sustained Respect and affection for Franz Josef seems to be the only ex- planation.

FOREIGNERS ARE MEDDL1Nd.
Diplomats Hope to Defeat the Treaty
 With Cuba,

Washington. March 27.-Secretary Hay has sent a warning to Cuba that the slightest amendment of the Cuban recip. rocity treaty by the Cuban Congress even that which proposes to make Its ratification conditional on the treaty go. ing into effect during the current calen. dar year, certainly would defeat the con. vention itself since any amendment must be submitted to the United States Sen. ate and before that can be done the date fixed for the final exchange of ratihca. ton. March S1, will have passed.
 MT. Squiers, the United States Minis ter at Havana, has transmitted this note to the Cuban Foreign Minister. and he is hopeful that 1t will be sufficient to curb the desire to amend the treaty. It is fully realized here that foreign infiu- ences in Havana which would be af- fected injuriously by the treaty are work ing upon pride to defeat the ratification by attaching amendments to the treaty. This was fully expected and is regarded as within the legitimate duties of diplo- matic representatives In such cases, but it Is believed that the effort will prove unsuccessful.

 There have always been bands Of Ia- drones. who roam over the country, rob- ping their own people. and the govern ment is obliged to cope with the constab- ulary. He said the constabulary num- bered $500 men, who were commanded by American officers. These men were nat ural hunters, and they pursued the ma- rauders with zest and nearly always caps tured them. M
 Commissioner Ide said further: s'rhe conditions in the Philippines are con- stantly improving. One meets with dis couraging features, but after six months you will see a marvellous improvement irt the development of education, the &C., quisition of the English language, the construction of roads. the creation of public improvement and police and civil courts. When one looks at the progress that has been made. it will be wondered that so much has been accomplished.

WENT THROUGH FLOOR
NEW YORK DETECTIVES CUT
 WAY TO GAMBLERS.
Alleged Pool Room in New York Raided-Had Been Made as Safe as Possible Against
 Attack.

New York, March H.-In effecting an entrance into the alleged pool room in the basement of six story business detectives were forced to chop a hole through the floor in the rear room of a saloon and drop into the room below where other detectives were holding the men inside at bay with revoHers. Wil- liam Daily. said to be the proprietor and a dozen others were arrested.
 According to the story told by the police the place was cunningly fortified a,ed guarded. An electorate system of signals had to be given by several sentries before a would-be better could gain entrance to the room. Pocket telephones. electric buttons. 'buzzers" secert slides and a maze" figured In the story. When the visitor finally satisfied the sentries that he was all right he was passed along to a room, the door of which was immediate ly bolted. There were five of these rooms leading directly into the alleged pool room and in some of the enclosures there were three or four doors built to bewilder an invading party.
 Detective Sergeants Kerr and Forgarty, disguised as truck drivers had freQuently visited the place where, they say, they have placed bets on the races at Ben nings. They were there today when Detective Sergeants Vallely and Collins dropped through the ceiling.
 Vallely and Collins dressed as laborers, entered the cafe which is an elaborately decorated one. Vallely had a crowbar
 
 equipped with two axes and a sledge- hammer. Each carried jimmy" They went at once to The rear room. There they arrested the outer sentries and while one detective watched the prisoners the other battered down a door.
 AS soon as the blows were heard in the inner room Kerr and Fogarty drew re- volvers and backing to a corner, covered the crowd.
 Meanwhile Vallely after battering down one door came to a second. I his though built of oak soon gave way and the detectives found themselves in a room which had three doors. Cutting through one of these doors the detectives and their prisoners entered another room which also had three doors. They were in the maze"
 It was then that the detectives decided to go up stairs to the rear room of the saloon where Valley and Collins cut through the floors. Several policemen who had been attracted to the place by this time watched the prisoners while Vallely and Collins and uniformed policeman dropped through the hole in to the alleged pool room.
 Those arrested besides the alleged pro- prietors were his alleged manager and several employees The others found in the place were allowed to go.
