HUNTING FOR DIFFICULTIES.

No one will, be surprised at the dis
covery by leading Republicans at
Washington of numerous difficulties
about ratifying the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba. They have been on the still
hunt for nothing else for the last six
months or more. The postponement of
the treaty until fall by an act of the
senate requiring the assent of the
house was conceived solely as scheme
for delay The senate did not dare to
face the country with bold refusal to
grant Cuban reciprocity. 1t did not
dare to face it's masters, the protected
favorites of our high tariff, with a
grant Of reciprocity. Therefore it
evaded it's responsibility for the time
being, saved the sugar barons for a
few months and threw upon the house
of representatives the necessity of de-
Gliding.
Members of the house have been do
ing nothing else since congress ad-
journed but hunt for difficulties. Our
own Mr.. Tawney is the most indefati-
gable sportsman of them all. He is
not going to have the sugar trust hurt
if he can help it. He is not going to
have our pledges to Cuba made good or
our friendly relations with that repub-
lie expanded If his opposition can pre-
vent. He has discovered any amount
of mares nests through or over which
the Cuban reciprocity treaty will have
to climb. He has found precedents
half a century old to show that the

BRYAN ON BENNETT
WILL DECISION
He Says the Judge Has Found in His
Favor on All the Moral Questions.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 6.-WiI-
liam ]. Bryan reached this city today
from Lincoln, Neb., and went to the
offices of his attorneys, where he read
the decision in the Bennett will con-
test. He made this statement:
1.-THE decision of Judge CleaVeland
in the Bennett will case is in my IA
vor on all the moral questions raised
by the heirs and against me on the
technical law points only. The judge
finds that no undue influence was eX-
ercised on Mr.. Bennett, and that no
injustice was done to the relatives.
He holds, however, that the letter to
Mrs. Bennett cannot be probated with
the will, but he expressly disclaims any
intention to decide whether or not the
twelfth section can hereafter be held
operative in establishing a trust. He
says that the construction of the will
was not in question at the time of the
probate. The court, in effect, declares
that the bequest would have been
good If it had been made direct, as
Mr.. Bennett suggested, but that under
the decision the letter cannot be pro-
bated in the absence of proof showing
that it was actually in existence at
the moment when the will was exc
cuted.
'If the bequest fails. it will not be
the fault of Mr.. Bennett, but my fault,
and this point will be determined by
the higher court, although my attor-
neys have not yet decided i'm what
form the question will be raised. 1
am much better pleased with the de-
cision than | would have been if the
court had decided for me on the legal
point and against me on the moral
questions involved. His decision on the
question of undue influence is full, en-
phatic and all that could be desired.
1t Is a complete answer to all the in
situations of the unfriendly papers"
Judge Cleaveland tomorrow will hear
motions from the attorneys for Mr..
Bryan and for Mrs. Bennett and the
heirs upon the form of the decree to
be entered. The motion for an appeal
to the superior court will then be made
by Mr. Bryans attorneys. Mr.. Bryan
said tonight that he would remain in
New Haven, or within call of his at
torneys. until the appeal was perfect
ed, and that he would not go to Eu-
rope for some time.

BUILDING MILITARY
TELEGRAPH LINES
Gen. Greedy Tells OF the Difficulties of
Operating in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-Gen.
A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer of the
United States army, in his annual report
to the secretary Of war shows that during
the year the system of military telegraph
lines and cables in Alaska authorized by
congress has been completed and consists
of LAO miles, OF the enlisted men of
the signal corps who made up the con-
struction parties, Gen. Greedy says:
ut is doubtful whether in the peaceful
annals of the army there have been met
with nobler fortitude by the enlisted men
under equal conditions OF hardship and
privation."
Tribute also is paid to the line of the
army for its service in connection with
the telegraph construction in Alaska. Gen.
Greedy says efforts are being made with
prospects of success in 1904 to establish
communication by wireless telegraphy be-
tween ST. Michael and Nome, across Nor
ton Sound, a distance of 108 miles. The
general says the maintenance of the
Alaskan telegraph lines will necessarily
entail a heavy burden on the signal corps
and on the garriSonS in Alaska, and he
recommends that the four companies of
the line stationed at Forts Liscum, Egg
bert, Gibbon and st. Michael be increased
to 100 men at the earliest practicable date.
The connection by submarine cable of
the detached system In Southeast Alaska
with that of the Yukon district is rec
commended; also an increase in the en-
listed strength of the corps, in order that
unduly prolonged service on foreign sta
tions may not be necessary as now, and
further that an additional colonel be au-
thorized for the corps. The value of the
telegraph and telephone business trans
acted by the corps in the Philippines Is
estimated at $500, o0& Gen. Greedy rec
ommends the purchase Of surplus sub
marine cable among other war materials.
It Is stated to be matter Of the utmost
Importance that signaling apparatus be
installed so as to permit of intercom-
munication between the army and navy
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

To create new markets and to make
