TAKING A FALL
OUT OF DEWEY
German Newspapers Anger
ed by His Reference to
TeutOnic Navy.

BERLIN, March 2S.-The German
foreign office officials say they do not
believe a diplomatic incident will re-
suit from the recent interview with
Admiral Dewey published in a news
paper of New Jersey, containing ref
erences to the German navy and the
German emperor). The officials say
they are reluctant to believe that the
admiral was correctly quoted, "espe-
cially in view of the good will he show
ed towards Germany in the messages
exchanged with Prince Henry
The foreign officials add that should
the interview turn out to be true, cit
would prove somewhat disturbing to
the pleasant relations with the United
States"
The interview with Admiral Dewey
has angered the newspapers here. Even
those of a usually moderate tone refer
to it in bitter manner. The VosSische
Zeitung says:
1.-The American navy is evidently
suffering from a disease of infancy
lack of modesty. It's leader evinces
something unspeakably immature. One
can only stand amazed that such in
tensified lf-complacency should take
root in a people of Germanic origin.
Such behavior would not excite won
der if it occurred in some Central or
South American republic, or Haiti.
Admiral Dewey is a worthy imitator
of Capt. (now Rear AdmiraD Coghlan,
who at a New York club gave boast
full toast, bristling with insults to Ger
many and warmed up the exploded sto-
ry that Admiral Dewey compelled the
German fleet at Manila to lie to when
it refused to respect the blockade.
Capt. Coghlan seems, however, to have
spoken from Admiral Dewey's own
heart Capt. Coghlan was disciplined
and President Mckinley expressed to
the German ambassador his regret that
the incident occurred. The same thing
must, perhaps, be done now in order
that superheated Dewey may be cooled

The reports are models in their way.
The report on the treasurer's office

WIPE OUT FAIR BOARD.
Schroeder Would Give State Fair
MANAGEMENT to Board of Control.

Abolition of the State Agricultural
society and direct state management
of the state fair is proposed by a bill
introduced yesterday by Representa-
tive j. d. Schroeder.
Mr.. Schroeder's plan contemplates
the management of the state fair
grounds and the fairs by the board
of control. 1t provides that immedi-
ately upon the passage of the bill, the
agricultural society shall turn the fair
grounds and all state fair funds over
to the board of control
The control board is empowered and
directed to appoint a superintendent,
who, under the general supervision of
the board, shall be general manager of
the fair. He is to be endowed with
such powers as the board may confer
and, vice the board, will handle all the
regular appropriations now given the
agricultural society.
The bill not only reaffirms the anti
pool law of 1895, but goes several steps
farther, in the direction of providing
only strictly high class, moral show.
Racing, under restrictions, is permit
ted, but no variety shows or exhibit
lions which include the appearance OF
men or women in tights need apply for
concessions or may be employed by the

RECIPROCITY TREATY
@. KID BY SENATE
OF CUBA
Ratified Without a Change
On the Assurance From
Secretary Hay That Presi-
dent Roosevelt Will Call
Special Session of Con-
gress Before Dec. l,

HAVANA, March 2S.-The treaty of
reciprocity between Cuba and the
United States as amended by the SEN
ate of the United States was approved
today by the Cuban senate by a vote
of II to 8.
This approval is absolute and is not
hampered by any commands, the ques-
tionable time limit amendment having
been dispensed with through the re-
ceipt of a cable message from Secre-
tary Hay in which it was positively de-
clared that President Roosevelt would
call a special session of congress be-
fore Dec l. The purport of this as
surance was transmitted to the senate
by President Palma and read at the
beginning of the session, an under
standing having been reached preVi-
Ously with Senators BuStamente, Ca
pote and DolZ, composing the majority
of the foreign relations committee,
that the Objectionable condition in the
report be eliminated. This was done
by the Offering of amendments by 9TH
er administration senators substitute
ing the unconditional adoption of the
amendments to the treaty by the
American senate for the qualified ac-
ceptance contained in the original re-
port.
Final action was delayed for a long
time by the discussion of an amend
ment offered by Senators Sanguilly,
Tamayo and Recio requiring the house
to pass upon the treaty. Senator San
gully cited the action of the United
States as a precedent and said the
committee evidently was afraid that
the treaty would be defeated if submit
ted TO the house.
An amendment to, or substitute for,
the committees majority report was
offered by Senators Frias, MOntea-
guedo and BantancOurt. This APPROX
ed and ratified all the amendments of
the senate at Washington and recon-
mended that the Cuban executive take
action conducive to obtaining effective
reciprocity as soon as possible. To
this substitute report was added the
following:
This recommendation must not be
taken as an amendment to or modi-
fication of the treaty"
The vote was taken separately on
each section of the substitute report.
The vote on the unconditional ratifica-
ton Of the treaty was II to 8; on the
recommendation to the executive it
was Il to 9. The session of the present
senate then adjourned. The ratifica-
tions viii be exchanged by cable.

When the senate reconvenes Monday,
II Will find that it unthinkingly laid off
on the last day for introduction of bills.
That a howl will go up from the Min
nesota house of lords is a foregone
conclusion.
Everyone, or nearly everyone, has
been proceeding on the theory that the
constitutional limit for introduction of
new bills meant twenty calendar days
prior to the last day of the session.
Yesterday the chief clerk of the house
made public the contents of a letter
from the attorney general, holding
that yesterday was the last day for
the reception of new bills.
Dropped a Bombsheu.
There was a scurry for cover among
the house members who rounded to
during the afternoon with a total of
slXty-tWo bills for the day and a total
Tor the session of ISL, which is some
thing more than 200 more than former
records. But the senator's, naughty
IN their day off, were caught mapping,
and any bills that were being held off
Tor the last days roundup will now
nave to get the sanction of the gov
ernor or wait two years for legislative
consideration.
The whole number of bills introduced
in the senate is 563, but it is under
stood that numerous bills of general
Importance were being held for the
last rush, and of course the usual mum

Just Happened That Way.
There probably was no deliberate at.
tempt to steal march on the senate.
There had been some little discussion
as to the last day for new bills, ana
sldered the date. Friday night Chief
Clark Schmahl was told by a promi-
nent local attorney that yesterday
would be the last day under the con-
sututional provision for new bills. The
chief clerk laid the matter before the
attorney general, and early yesterday
morning received the following reply:

MY Dear Sir: Replying to your in
curry, l beg to say that, in my judg-
ment, the time for the Introduction Of

Section 1 of Article ". of the con-
stttution provides:
No session shall exceed the term of
ninety legislative days, and no new
bills shall be introduced in either
branch, except upon the written re-
quest Of the governor, during the last
twenty days of such session, except
the attention Of the legislature shall be
called to some important matters of
general interest by a special message
of the governor
THE present session began jan g.
Following the settled rule of excluding
Sundays and holidays, ninety legisla-
tive days will have elapsed April q,
and the present session, of necessity,
must come to an end on that date. |
consider the term twenty days in the
other branch of the provision quoted
must be construed to mean twenty leg
tslative days So far as | have been
able to observe, this has been the
construction heretofore obtaining.
Very truly,

the admiral was quoted as saying that
"the Caribbean sea maneuVers were an

lowing to the fact that there have

stoned by the street fair and other mat
tiers, the shops will not be closed Sat

The six members who dissented say
that while only evidence tending to
support the charges was introduced, in
not a single instance was a charge of
cruelty rejecting on the management
substantiated. In some instances testi-
mony showed cruelty on the part of
attendants, but this was followed by
immediate discharge. The majority re-
port has no legal bearing. Now the
governor will appoint a committee of
outside scientific men to make an ex-
haustive examination.

GRAND JUDY REPORTS.
Found That Cruelty Was Practiced at
Insane Asylum.

After the grand jury has pursued its
Investigations regarding the insane
asylum for three days, hearing only
the testimony of those having charges
to make, the legal point was raised
that the body had no jurisdiction in
the matter of a territorial institution,
writes a correspondent from Las
Vegas. The chief justice sustained
the point, but said that at the time
he suggested the investigation, the ex-
igencies of the case demanded that
the court take c%ognizance of the mat
ter. Now the governor had taken the
matter up officially, and if the grand
jury had been unable to obtain evil
dence justifying an indictment, their
duties were at an end. The body re-
ported no indictment, but eleven of
the seventeen members sent the judge
the following communication, six mem
bers dissenting:
I'VE have found that hard, cruel and
unusual punishment has been used and
applied to patients of the insane
asylum which is situated above the
