WITH TWO AMENDMENTS
The Cuban Reciprocity Treaty Will
be Reported.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-
day agreed to report the Cuban reei-
procity treaty to the Senate with two
amendments The first. of these is the
guarantee against a further reduction
of the sugar tariff, which was adopted
yesterday, and the other makes a re-
duetion of 40 per cent. in the reduc-
ton of the duty on American cattle
exported to Cuba, instead of 20 per
cent, as, provided in the treaty as it
was originally transmitted to the SEN
ate. Senators Bacon and Bailey cast,
their votes against the resolution for
a favorable report, but all the other
votes We're in the affirmative. s.
Several other amendments were sug-
gested by Senator Bacon, but all of
them were voted down. Among the
suggestions which met this adverse
fate was the provision requiring that
the treaty should be submitted to the
House. as well as the Senate, for rati-
tication, which Senator Bacon suggest
ed yesterday.
The same fate befell the amendment
eliminating Article 6 of the treaty,
providing that no rebate or concession
should be given on American tobacco
imported into Cuba. A number of arti-
cles in addition to cattle were suggest
ed as properly belonging to schedule
c, which grants a tariff reduction OF
40 per cent on American articles going
into Cuba. One of these was turpen-
tine, but this went down with the 9TH
ers.
The amendment transferring cattle
to the 40 per cent. list was accepted
because of some recent changes in the
Cuban tariff, which led the committee
to the conclusion that the change
would be equitable.
The Republican members of the com
nittee voted solidly for the resolution
to report the treaty, and Senator Nor
gan, Democrat of Alabama, voted with
them. Senator Money was absent and
senator Rawlins refrained from vot-
ing

CLINCHING EVIDENCE.
Coal Operators Reinforcing That Al
ready Submitted.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Most of the
testimony presented to the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission to-day was of
a corroborative nature, the Erie Com
pany, which has not yet concluded its
case. producing numerous witnesses to
prove that the miners union is re-
sponsible for the alleged restriction of
the hard coal production.
During the examination of Edward
Hutton, foreman, the fact was adj
duced. that the practice of restricting
the number of cars to be loaded daily
by one man had been in operation as
for back as 1895. long before the United
Mine Workers of America entered the
anthracite region. The unions re-
sponsibility rests with the enforcement
of this rule and not with its incep-
ton.
The majority of the witnesses were
mine foremen, who testified that the
union was detrimental to discipline at
the collieries, that mining is a COM
paratively healthy occupation, and to
acts of lawlessness committed during
the recent strike. One witness. William
Zorn of Dunmore, contract miner.
testified that he had been prevented
tain contract, the driver refusing to
furnish him with a sufficient number
Of cars
President Mitchell explained to the
commission that the union regarded
with disfavor the practice of miners
securing certain work by proposal. The
lowest bidder always secures the con-
tract and he employs as many help
erS as he deems necessary, paying
them smaller wages than they would
otherwise receive. Mr.. Mitchell stated
also that he. had been informed that
saloon keepers sometimes secure these
contracts and never enter the mines,
but leave the work to the laborrs.
M. P. Blauvelt, auditor of the FILL
side Coal and Iron Company and of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company, pro-
duced figures to show what the earn
ings would be if the collieries worked
at the rate of ten hours a day for a
year. Counsel for the miners objected
to this as evidence, but Chairman Gray
decided it was admissible.

"a COCK TO EsCgLAPIUs."
1t Was Because the Religious
Mood Possessed Him.

why Did Socrates GIVE the Debts
1t Was Because the Religious
Mood Possessed Him.
Rev. DIR. Theodore T. Munger, in the
Outlook.
What Socrates meant in saying to
Critic, II owe cock to Esculapius; will
you remember to pay the debt?" has
been a matter of much speculation;
such as that it was a mere jest; that
it referred to a literal debt that it
was a total relapse into superstition.
These explanations do not cover the
case Grant a sly humor as he turned
to Crito-it does not lessen the sub
lime gravity of the moment. Thefkey
is to be found in previous remark.
When the fatal cup was presented to
him, he said to the jailer. What do
you say about making libation out
of this cup to my god?' Being denied.
he said: yet / may and must pray
to the gods to prosper my journey
from this to that other world; may
this, then, which is my prayer, be
granted to me-" and then "he cheer
fully drank off the poison" and went
ito the joys of the blessed"
But why an Offering to Esculapius?
Simply because 1t agreed with his high
mcsd. He dies with cheerfulness and
faith in the higher powers-that is, re-
ligiously. Let the offering be to the
god whose medicine. have just drunk,
for it takes me Tbt unwillingly into
another world. Such seems to be his
meaning. 1t was not tribute to Gus
tom, nor a return to superstition, nor
something to profit him at the last,
but a religious act in that supreme
hour when ones nature calls out for
religious expression.
1t does not matter whether Socrates
himself or Plato is to be held account

do. If Plato wrote geographically he
was careful not to omit any detail of a
religious character; * he wrote as a
philosopher, he held it to be a neces-

w. L. Alden in Literary World.

W. L. AiueH III Literary World.
One of the newspapers has been dis.
cussing the question whether Dickens
ever drew gentleman. The majority
of those who take part i'm the discussion
seem TO take the negative, though one
man considers Lord Frederick Veri-
sopht as a fine portrait of gentleman.
Evidently none of the contributors to
the discussion has ever read Pick
wick" Else some one would surely
have instanced Mr.. Pickwick as a thor
ough gentleman, as much of a gentle
man in his way as Col. Newcorne HIM
self. Some of these days the question
whether Dickens himself was q gem
tleman. and was capable of conceiving
the idea of gentleman. will sound as
absurd as would the question whether
Shakespeare ever drew a woman The
fact that Dickens in his early youth
wore loud waistcoats sti1l convfnces
many people that he could never have
been a gentleman. No one ever wore
waistcoats that were as sonOrous and
deafening as those worn by Disraeli in
his youth. but il would sound rather
preposterous were any one except Lit
tie Highlander Of unconquerable preju-
dices to suggest that Lord Beacons-
field was not a gentleman. The truth
is that when Dickens was young loud
waistcoats and loud neckties were in
the fashion, and that is all there is of
the terrible story that Dickens and Dis
raeli wore waistcoats the color of the
rainbow.

The i'll feeling between Lieut.. Gov.
Tillman and Editor Gonzales had been
brewing for some time, and followed
Gonzales made in the columns of his
paper and on the stump throughout the
state. The trouble between the two
men, however. first grew out of a fist
fight between United States Senator b.

the floor of the United States Senate.
Maj. Micah Jenkins. who had served
with Roosevelt's Rough Riders In Gu

of South Carolina, in recognition of his

When President Roosevelt withdrew
his invitation to a state dinner In
Washington which he had sent Senator
Tillman, because of the fight, the lat
ter had in the United States Senate,
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman refused to present
the sword to Lieut.. Jenkins.
Mr.. Gonzales took UP the matter
through the columns of his paper and
bitterly denounced Tillman. He re-
peated the denunciations made pre-
viously on many different occasions,
and even dared Mr.. Tillman to deny
the charges. The charges Gonzales
made were spread all over the South
and made a deep sensation, many I'M
complimentary remarks being made in
the press of the country, because Till
man did not resent the charges.
Both Gonzales and TiIlman have
hosts of friends and more trouble may
follow to-day's affair. Gonzales comes
from family noted in this section of

the Spanish American war and enlisted
as scout with Gen. Gomez, doing not

washington, Jan. 15.-The fight being

bore fruit to-day in the adoption by
the Committee on Foreign Relations
If an amendment which will make the
DEDUCTION of cattle imported into Cuba
from the United States 40 per cent,
instead of 20. This change was made
largely in the interest of Georgia and
Florida cattle. In the treaty, as It
was drawn, the tariff on cattle was
snecifc one, not ad valorem. 1t was
shown by Senators Bacon, Clay and
other Southerners that the practical
operation of this would be to make
the comparatively small cattle of the
southern states pay the same rate of
tariff when imported into Cuba that
was paid by the much larger cattle
of Honduras and other parts of Cen
trail and South America, and would,
therefore, operate as a differential in
favor of the larger cattle. 1t was to
correct this inequality that the para
graph was changed by the committee
to-day.
The Southern senators have no or
ganized opposition to the Cuban treaty,
and there is no disposition on their
part to fIibuster against its ratifica-
ton A study of the schedules shows,
however, that there are some glazing
Inequalities which are calculated to
work a hardship upon that portion of
the South that does business with
Cuba, and tfey will do everything in
their power to have these inequalities
remedied before consenting to the rati-
fcation of the treaty. Ratification will
probably be delayed for some time,
while these matters are investigated
and passed upon, but there is every
reason to believe the treaty will be
ratified before adjournment.
