Representative William Alden Smith
Of Michigan. who stated in an inter
view that he would not lead faotienal
aght in opposition to the Cuban treaty
has again announced that he believes
reciprocity to be harmful to American
interests and will vote sgsinst it. He
feels that he cannot afford to fight the
administration, as he did I'm the last
congress. by organising the opposition
out he still believes that the sugar
beet industry should be protected,
and he will keep his record by voting
against the treaty. DIR. Smith says
In regard to tho conference of the
Michigan delegation ct Grand Rapids
md the supposed understanding ar
rived at with Ieference 70 Cuban reci-
procitv, that sit is true there was
meeting at my home. bat the subject
was hardly taken up and was only re-
.erred to informally No understand
ing was arrived at"
Senior Corea, the Nicaraugan minis
ter, who has been In Europe for sew
oral weeks, has returned to Washing
ton. He called at the etate depart
ment and had brief interview with
Acting Secretary Adee. during which
Isthmian canal matters were alluded
TO. As Mr.. Adee is not handling this
particular question. and the president
has not signifed any wish to have it
taken up formally as yet. he could sim
ply say that the situation was without
change. Both Minister Corea and
Minister Calvo, Of Costa RIGA, are
ready to negotiate treaty with Sec
rotary Hay as soon as he may signify a
desire to take up the question, but
they continue their attitude of nonin-
reference, believing that Colombia
must be eliminated before they can
snter the discussion. Senator Nor
gan is growing impatient at the mac
ti7ity on the part of the administra-
ton, and if something is not proposed
by the time congress convenes. there
is no doubt that he will offer some
resolutions of inquiry.
A good deal of pressure has been
brought to bear upon the President to
Induce him not to call Congress into
extraordinary session in November,
but to all callers who have spoken to
him in that vein he has said that this
government is committed to the prop
osition that the Cuban Reciprocity
Treaty be made effective at the earliest
possible date, and he regards it as
matter Of good faith that this ooun-
try should keep its word. He has de-
clined. therefore. to consider any pro-
posals looking TO the abandonment OF
the idea of an extraordinary session.
The Republican leaders are deter
mined to make the coming regular sos
sion of congress > short ono. Nothing
but the Cuban reciprocity will be con.
sidered at tho extra session in Novem'
Der.

The Marine Hospital Service is COL
Letting the yellow fever m mosquitoes on
large scale. Circulars have been
sent out to all medical officers of the
service directing how the insect may
be captured. The collector must first
provide himself with a number Of
small, wide-mouthed walls. After
trailing down a mosquito, an open
mouthed vial is placed over the animal
as it rests unsuspectingly on surface,
the finger is then placed over the
mouth of the vial and wad Of cotton
slipped in. A mosquito can be killed
by blowing tobacco smoke into the vial
or by drop of chloroform placed on
the cotton stopper. Careful directions
are given for putting the specimens
thus collected in boxes and mailing
them to the Bureau, with memoranda
as to the locality where the seizure
took place.

The Republican leaders who are
here consulting the president on po-
litical matters do not fear that the
controversy over the reinstatement of
Miller in the government bindery, and
the refusal to recognize the union, will
have an adverse effect on his candidacy
for the nomination next year. They
are satisfied that any further discus.
sion Of his action will be convincing
that what he did was the only thing
that could have:been considered uneer
the law. They think that neither ~
enemies in the Republican party nor
the Democrats could bring up this
controversy in discussion OF his At-
ness for the nomination and election
with any hope to injure him.
