THE CUBAN TREATY.

The Cuban reciprocity treaty has
been ratified by the senates of the two
republics and exchange of ratificatlons
has been had between their representa-
tives. Ordinarily this would put the
treaty in force, but because of an
amendment added to the treaty by our
senate it may never go into effect; in
fact, few people in the United States
expect that it will. This treaty, al
though all the formalities of exchange
of ratifications have been gone
through. cannot, by the express dec
laration contained in one of it's clauses,
ever become effective unless the Amer
lean house of representatives shall
agree to it's terms. This shows what
a farce the whole thing has been. AS
soon as congress meets next winter the
president will, we suppose, begin the
fight in the house to secure its ratifica-
ton. But it may be that by Deem
ber next Mr.. Roosevelt will have found
the treaty too unpopular a measure
among members of his party for him
to make another fight on it. If he
finds that it would be calculated to lose
him votes in the national convention.
then we may look for the matter to
go by default almost in the house.

CHANGE IN ORIGINAL CHARTER,
Articles of Amendment Filed by In
ternational Mercantile Company

Trenton, n. J.,-April 1.-The Inter-
national Mercantile Company, the
great transatlantic ship commission.
which was Incorporated last October.
with an authorized capital stock Of
$12O, ,000, 900 today filed papers amending
Its original charter. The amendment
consists of a provision authorizing the
company to enter into a contract with
United States government or any states
or dependencies thereof or with any
foreign government or state, includ-
ing the power to sell or hire any of its
steamships or sailing vessels or other
property to such governments or
states for any purposes whatsoever,
whether naval, militia or otherwise
1t IS believed here that this amend
ment has been inserted to meet
the objection Of the English govern
ment that under the original charter
that government would not have power
to impress any Of the vessels of the
company into its naval service in times
of war. The amended certificate is
signed by Clement a. Griscomb, pres
ldent and Emerson E. Parvin, secre-
tary.
The consent of the stockholders is
signed by Emerson E. Parvin as proxy
for Thomas w. Joyce and for J. P.
Morgan; W. ]. Pairie, J. B. Ismay
and Charles Steele, voting trustees.

THE DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
Employers of New York, New Haven
and Hartford Grant Concession.

New Haven, Cann., April 1.-The diff
ferences between the train men of tho
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Company and their employers We're am
icably settled late this afternoon. The
men appear to be perfectly satisfied
with the concessions made by the rail-
road officials. Valentine Fitzpatrick, of
the tranmen's brotherhood, gave out a
statement, the contents of which. he
said, had been agreed upon to indicate
what concessions had been granted to
the men. 1t says wages, hours and
rules have been materially improved.
Although the absence of anything
specific in the statement in the shape
Of figures caused some comment, 1t was
learned from a thoroughly reliable
source that when the agreement enter
ed into takes effect, the trainmen will
work on a basis such as they have
never before enjoyed and which will
compare favorably with the wages Of
any similar body in the country.
