Cuba Dreads Delay.

HAVANA, March 13.-The publica- ton of Washington dispatches regard Ing the amendments to the reciprocity treaty by the senate foreign relations committee has caused renewal of apprehension among business men that the treaty may remain unsettled until the next session of the United States congress. The merchants and bankers here hope that if the amendment re- quiring the approval of the house is adopted President Roosevelt will call special session of the house to settle the matter. The uncertainty regarding the rates of duty has seriously ham, pered both the export and import trade for several months. The merchants, although anxious for it's ratification now, declare that even the rejection of the treaty is preferable to a further long period of uncertainty.

 The Harvard Bulletin declares that "a firm and considerable minority of the teachers of the university think that Harvard should no longer take part in intercollegiate football" It un- derstands that Prof Hollis is not of the number, and that what he really seeks is reform, and it admits that the posi- tion he has taken is q strong one. This also is the opinion of the New York Evening Sun, which suggests that Prof Hollis was put forward by the faculty to make out the case against football, especially the encouragement of pro- fessionalism, and that this was done because there has been no attempt to revise the rules as is desired. It's arti- cle closes with the words: "We think the rules will be revised" ."-H artford Times

Judge Dax,s Condition.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-After a visit to his patient Dr, B. L. Aladdin, the attending physician, made the fol- lowing statement: Judge Day has a moderately severe attack of pneumo- nia. He is very comfortable, and his symptoms at present do not occasion alarm. pr. Osler of Johns Hopkins university will see him in consulta- ton" The friends of Judge Day are very apprehenslFe concerning his con dition. His temperature is very high, running up to the neighborhood of 105. He is not a man of robust physique, but, on the contrary, is of frail ap- pearance and, it is feared, may be un- able to withstand severe attack of illness, though hopes are entertained that his excellent habits and the care full nursing and medical attention he is securing will enable him to pull through.

 The failure to pass the Philippine tariff bill, in spite of Mir Roosevelt's s urgent message to congress, is, as MT Hoar says, a fresh illustration of our incompetence to govern distant de- pendencies with wisdom and justice" :" says an exchange, Upon the passage of this measure depended the well being, possibly the lives of thirty mill lions of people. If congress had given it tithe of the attention that was spent on private pension bills and other legislation, it would have passed, and the people of those islands would have been put in the way of receiving some compensation for the injuries and loss es inflicted upon them by our rule. But it failed in the senate, because some members of that body were determined that if their pet schemes were to fail of passing, nothing should be done And the rules of the senate, as NIr Can non says, put the public business, how ever urgent, at the mercy of any sore head who chooses to block legislation. The country has a right to ask that such rules shall be repealed or modi- fled, so as to establis in the senate as everywhere else the principle that the majority rules"

PROGRESS IN SENATE
Vote on the Canal Treaty to
 Be Taken Tuesday.
TIE CUBAN TREATY IS REPORTED.
The Latter, Amended to Meet the Wishes of the Democrats, Will Require the Approval of the
 House to Make 1t Effective.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-There were important developments yester- day regarding the treaties pending in the senate It was decided to vote on the Panama canal treaty on Tuesday next, and the Cuban reciprocity treaty was reported to the senate by the com mittee on foreign relations. The end of the work for which the extra ses- sion was called therefore is in sight The agreement to vote on the canal treaty was arrived at soon after the senate assembled at noon and without discussion of moment. The terms had been made satisfactory to Senator Mor- gan before the request to fix a day for a vote was preferred by Senator Frye, so the former made no objection.
 The Cuban treaty, with the various amendments agreed on by the commit tee on foreign relations, was then re- ported by MT. Cullom, and at his re- quest it was read for the information of the senate The reading was fol- lowed by formal request by MT. Gull lom to take up the Cuban treaty for discussion, but while this was denied still the greater part of the session was devoted to 1t. The amendments made include, in addition to those of last ses- sion, provision requiring the approval of the house of representatives to make the treaty effective.
 With the adoption of this amendment the Democrats as a body probably will cease opposition to the Cuban treaty, but some of them, the sugar interests of whose states are affected by the treaty, will continue to oppose it. The Republican side of the senate will vote practically if not solidly, for the treaty, and 1t is now generally believed that it will be ratified after action on the Pan- anna treaty.
 Individual Democratic senators will offer number of amendments to the canal treaty, and they will unite in pressing some of them, but if they should be voted down, as seems likely, number of. the Democrats will vote for the ratification of the treaty.
 The progress made leads many sena- tors to predict an adjournment by the close of next week. The action of the committee on commerce in postponing vote on Dr. Crum's nomination which also took place yesterday, is gen. orally accepted as disposing of that matter for this session.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known, Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It IS also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment Is a pleasant. harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

 A woman, richly drassed-a resi- dent of Astor street and woman of high social fame-was shivering in began to shiver as the wind perme- ated the bathrobe, but the aristo- cratic woman didn't pay any heed to that.
 "Oh, doctor, doctor,'' she walled, please come right away and tend to the baby. I'm afraid it's dying!"
 The doctor demanded the symp- toms, and listened patiently while the below zero wind cut friezes round his legs.
 T should judge" said the doctor, as the woman finished, athat your baby was merely hungry growing infants often display rayenous ap- petite at unpleasant hours. Go home and feed it.''
 The woman entered waiting car riage, and the doctor, with sigh or two, returned to the feathers.
 Three o'clock. Clang, c1ang, peal, and the doorbell ringing as though firegong had been substituted. The doctor again drew on the faithful bathrobe. Again he hurried to the door, and again he fell over the otto- man and the three chairs. There at the door stood the richly dressed woman.

Addicks has been beaten in Della ware in a way" says one writer. ssHe was not elected to the senate, and thus far the purpose for which he has spent great deal of money in corrupting the poor voters of the state has been thwarted. But the victory for the de- cent people of Delaware is only half a victory after all. and the possibility that it will not be turned into q defeat hangs upon lhe thread of oneAddicks mans devotion to his chief. Acting upon the advice of Congressman Dick, who went over from Washington to Dover to effect the reconciliation. the anti-Addicks republicans 'compromised' by conceding the long term to an Ad- dicks man, Senator Alice. and the short term to an anti-Addicks man, Congress man Ball. Alice is one of the noted leaders of the Addicks gang and is practically an employe of Addicks, being president of one of his compan- ies. His relations to the notorious gas man may be judged by an interview which Addicks gave out after the elec- tion. have the advantage, he said, of having my close friend, Frank AL lee, in the senate, who will look after the patronage while I attend to other matters When asked if 1Allee would serve out his term, Addicks said Yes, I will keep him there; still he added significantly, I may change my mind,' :"

 It is curious fact, considering the reputation for all around viciousness extended to us by our neighbors ill Hartford, that the actual cost of crime as compiled by Penologist Thomas D. Wells shows that although the census enumerators found three times as many noses to count ill the city of Hartford as i'll the city of New Britain, yet Hartford's police expense account is almost eight times as bulky as New Britain s.-New Britain Herald.
 It is the business of the police force to search zealously for offenders against the law, and there are ways to meet an extraordinary expense when extraordinary efforts have to be made. We do not stimulate any other branch of government when called upon to meet a crisis. and why should we the public branch? The dangers of doing so consists in pauperizing the force. dulling the edge of its duty at other times, putting premium, however slight, upon grating, tempting detec- tive adventurers from elsewhere, and of finally introducing perhaps the sort of detective practice which has made the police administration of Buffalo scandalous It makes possible, if not probable. the end in view the receipt of the reward rather than the enforce ment of the law, and the imposition of the consequences of it's infracture.
