washington, March E.-Before adjourn
ment at o'clock tonight the Senate en-
tered into unanimous agreement to vote
On the Cuban reciprocity treaty at o'clock
Tomorrow afternoon.
The hope of securing a vote to-day was
disspated by the discovery that there were
more speeches to be made in opposition to
the treaty than had been counted upon. In
deed. It was difficult to secure an agreement
to vote even tomorrow. and 1t was evident
that this result could not have been ac-
complished but for the anxiety of Senators
to secure a final adjournment Of the ses-
sion.
The executive session covered six hours
aad was devoted largely to adverse criti-
cisms Of the treaty. During the day Sena-
tor Newlands made plea for the annexa-
ton of Cuba and presented an amendment
to the treaty rendering an invitation to
that island to become State of the Ameri-
can UniCn.
The debate was participated in by sena-
tors McEnery. Newlands, Spooner, Teller.
Nelson. Cullom. German. Bailey and Car
mack.
AMENDMENTS DANGEROUS.
1t is said at the State Department that
the sharpest kind of work will be required
TO save the Cuban treaty from total failure
II 1t is ratified tomorrow by the Senate
with amendments as proposed.
The slightest amendments will require the
convention again to be ratified by the Gu
ban Congress. and, while there is little
doubt that small opposition will be offered
there. It Is pointed out that the period al
lowed for the exchange of Publications ex-
pires on the 31st inst.
This is a very short space Of time in
which to complete formalfies in Washing
ton; and have the treaty acted on by the
Cuban Congress. -as-.s .---'
II there is any failure on this point, a new
treaty will have to be drawn. or have ad-
ditional articles In the initial protocols
adopted which would require fresh action
of the legislative branches of both Govern
ments and involve as much work as draw
ing new treaty.

bility, will be two in three races.

egates to the American bowling con-
gress, which opened this morning, are
here in large numbers. Fifteen hundred

kee are here to urge their claims for
the next national congress. Mayor
Bookwalter, ex-Mayor Taggart, Mayor
Granger of Louisville and Mayor Rose
of Milwaukee have held conference,
which was attended by a number Of
the prominent bowlers. 1t is apparent
that there is a spirit Of compromise
among the delegates, and it is believed
that there will be no split in the ma
tional organization.
1t is proposed to change the constf-
tuition to make the basis of representa-
ton by states instead of by tourna-
ments in order to recognize state or
CARNATIONS. AS to the use Of loaded
balls President Bookwalter says the
decision probably will be a compro-
mise, alloysng loaded balls, but linn

Ball league to get rid Of George %. Har,
rington af Waterbury. 1t is said that
the directors of the league want Tom
my Dowd to have the Holyoke fran
chise, but Dowd and Harrington can
not come to terms. 1t Is claimed that
A. e. Dewolfe Of Holyoke learned that
a condition was put upon the transfer
of the Waterbury franchise to Holyoke,
os that he would not take 1t. 1t is re-
ported that there is a scheme on foot
for the league to disband and then re-
organize with new circuit and new
award Of franchises. According to this
story the league directors could put
Dowd in charge of affairs at Holyoke.
President Bristol Of Meriden was In
Waterbury Saturday and was informed
by Mr. Harrington that he would stick
and take the club to Holyoke himself
if he could do no better. Mr. Harring-
ton also said. he proposed to keep his
players. Meriden wanted Fitzpatrick,

only moral. just as It's interest is only senti-
mental. 1t has shown the way to the pre-
vention or the ending Of such atrocities
against civilization. It's Intervention in
Cuba was a type of the duty performance
by great power in behalf of an oppressed
people. The Spanish crueltfes in that island
were in a way comparable with the malev-
olent hatred of the Turk for the Christian,
although religious fanaticism played q
part in the western tragedy. The European
duty is none the less imperative because
difficult of performance without the dan
ger of a warfare of first ma gnitude 1t is
no defense for Europe to urge that 1t dare
not act In these premises because each
power suspects the other. That element of
distrust will grow rather than diminish
with time And the obstnacy and the
treachery of the Turk will increase as the
years of non-intervention pass. Europe
watched the sultan thrash Greece when
that country arose in behalf of the suffer-
Ing Christians of the Turks domains and
at the finish only saw to it that the con-
queror took no land spoils. Probably with
equal equanimity 1t would now look on
while the sultan drained Bulgaria of blood
and treasure should that country break its
present resolve and participate in the Mace
DOMAIN struggle Selfshness reigns supreme
in the chancellerieS.

Politics and the Judiciary.

Denis OBrien Is an associate justice of
the New York court of appeals. A demo-
crat in politics, he has yet held the scales
SO evenly in his office that men Of both
parties. Of all parties applaud him. The
democratic state committee last week
placed him in nomination to succeed him
self. and the republicans this week second
the motion. Not a word of objection has
been heard on any hand.
This case does not stand alone. There
have been others like it. Nevertheless. it
merits remark. If we could have more like
it the effect would be excellent Justice
OBrien will not lose a day from service.
He will not find ii necessary to confer with
political managers or their strikers about
the campaign. He will not be subject to
their touch for campaign Doodle in the
form of candidates assessment He
will be able to preserve without temptation
the dignity of his office and his own per-
sonal dignity, and at the close of his new
term be as attractive a figure in the judi
cial world as he now is.
There Is no demand for other than human
beings on the bench. A man when he puts
on the ermine does not and need not part
with his politics or his everyday feelings.
But much may be said and done in favor
judge and the political boss. In some states
candidates for the bench canvass after
the fashion of candidates for political
office. They take the stump. and hire run
ners and pull strings like the politicians.
From first to last they are hand-in-glove
with the politicians. contributing to and en-
joying the usufruct of all the skullduggery
of the campaign
From men like these the best accounts
in office are not to be expected They may
be learned in the law, but are not of the tu-
dicial temperament. and they have come
into power by means that must hamper
them in the discharge of their duties. The
demand Of the day Is for more drectness.
more expedition more firmness in the pro-
cesses of courts of justice. A strong i'm
preston widely prevails that the bench and
its officers are too often lacking in energy
and vigor, and that much of the reproach
of the laws delay would be removed by
removing the courts as far as possible from
all unjudicial influences. This nomination
of Justice OBrien conveys in several ways
a valuable suggestion.

Secretary Moody.

Secretary Moody has laid himself open to
a word of criticism. Where are those quail
ties of patience, philosophy, humor and
good humor, with which the live Yankee,
as rule. is so literally endowed? Why
should he weary of being taken out of the
cabinet by rumor? Mr.. Hay has been dis
posed of in that way a thousand times.
Several newspapers had Mr.. Roots resigna-
ton in their hands months before he handed
1t to the President. Mr.. MoodyS predeces-
sor, Gov. Long, was in and out of the cabi-
net SO often there must have been times
when he maryeled- at the repOrtorfal enter
prise Mr.. Moody's fate is the common
fate of all. Into each official life some res
ignations must prematurely fail. Some
days must be dark with rumors- Let the
Secretary of the Navy cheer up. So far, the
reporters have 'let him off mighty light"
Nobody has as yet charged that his resig
nation is desired by the President. When
the yarn takes stupid and malicious turn
will be time enough to complain.
