VOTE ON CUBAN
TREATY TODAY
Senator Nelson Speaks
Against It-Amendments
Would Cause Delay.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
Tonight the senate entered into
unanimous agreement to vote on the
Cuban reciprocity treaty at o'clock
tomorrow. The hope Of securing a vote
today was dissipated by the discovery
that there were more speeches to be
made in opposition to the treaty than
had been counted upon. Indeed, it was
difficult to secure an agreement to
vote even tomorrow and it was evi-
dent that this result could not have
been accomplished but for the anxiety
of senators to secure a final adjourn
ment of the session, which will be TAX
en- tomorrow.
The executive session covered six
hours and was devoted largely to ad-
verse criticisms of the treaty. Senator
Newlands made a plea for the annexa-
ton of Cuba and presented an amend
ment to the treaty rendering an invi-
tation to that island to become a state
of the American Union. The debate
was participated in by Senators Nc
Emery, Newlands, Spooner, Teller, Nell
son, Cullonn, German, Bailey and Car
mack.
Without announcing his intention to
vote for or against the treaty, Senator
Nelson criticised 1t sharply He re-
piled to a contention Of Senator Spoon
er that the United States is under OBJ
legation to aid Cuba and the Cubans
and said that this country had GER
tainly done all for that country that
one nation could be expected to do
for another. He said that there had
originally been two pleas on behalf of
Cuban reciprocity, one on account of
obligations to the Cubans and the 9TH
er because Of their poverty The lat
ter had been completely exploded by a.
showing of the facts, and in the light
of reason the former was just as ficti-
tiouS.

MR.. CLEVELAND
IN POLITICS
This Is the Interpretation
Placed Upon His Coming
Western Trip.
Special to The Globe.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 18.-
Washington is disposed to accept The
announcement of Grover Cleveland that
he will make a long Western trip,
touching at many points which Roose-
velt will visit, as a fat announcement
that he is beginning to take a hand in
presidential politics. But the so-called
Democratic leaders, as their opinions
are known here, are not for Cleveland.
On the other hand, it appears that
Cleveland is entirely in accord with
the Democratic policy as it gains ex-
preston in Washington. The Demo-
cratic senator's here are preparing for
a tariff campaign, not only in congress
but in the whJle country before the
presidential conventions.

Foraker nd Spooner.
1t is said at the state department
that the essharpest kind of work will be
required to save the Cuban treaty from
total failure If it Is ratified tomor-
row with amendments as proposed.
The slightest amendment will require
the convention again to be ratified by
the Cuban congress, and while there is
little doubt that small opposition will
be offered there, it is pointed out that
the period allowed for the exchange OF
ratif1cations expires on the 31st inst
This is a very short space Of time in
which to complete formalities in WASH
ington and have the treaty acted on by
the Cuban congress. Ifathere is any
failure on this point a new treaty will
have to be drawn, or have additional
articles in the initial protocols adopted.
which will require fresh action of the
legislative branches Of 1botl1 govern
ments and involve as much work as

PRAISE WARDEN WoLFER.
Report of Prison Labor Investigation
Sent to the House.

The prison labor committee yaster-

Of it's investigation, secured by Rep
resentative FryDerger, of Hennepin
The renort is substantially as Ie-
ported by 7 h e Clio b a week ago.
1t commends highly the management
of Warden Wolfer and the prison con-
ditions. 1t recommends that the num-
Der of convicts employed on the shoe
contract shall be ESQ. which Is about
the number now employed. Enlarge
ment Of the twine plant and the en-
ployment of conyicts in the manufact-
ure Of clothing for inmates of the pris-
on and other state institutions are
among the recommendations
Mr.. Fryberger is not pleased with
that portion of the report which sane
tions the employment of 25O convicts
on the shoe contract. It is not proba-
bic that he will send in a minority re-
port, but he will introduce a bill limit
ing the number of convicts that may
be employed in any one industry com
peting with free labor in Minnesota to
z per cent of the whole number of free
labors in the same employment.

INSURE SESSION
OF NINETY DAYS
House Picks April 18 as Date
For Final Adjourn
ment.

The house yesterday, after a running
fght~of an hour, agreed upon April 1S
as the day for final adjournment and
fixed March 28 as the last day for the
reception of new bills.
The house amendment of the senate
resolution fixing April Is as the date
for final adjournment is generally con-
Sidered as a fflibuster movement and
that the legislature will not adjourn
short of the constitutional limitation,
will make April 81 the last day is open-
ly admitted by the members closest
In touch with legislative methods and
the temper of the present house.
Ten days ago Representative Walz
introduced a resolution fixing April Is
as the last day Before the senate
took action on the Lord resolution
amending it to read April Is, Mr.. WaIz
and the friends of the early adjourn
ment proposition had made up their
minds that their plan was not feasible
and that by concurring In the senate
resolution, the house stood to get the
short end of the work in the last few
days.
The senate resolution was laid on
the table for week and was called up
yesterday by Representative Johnson.
Burns opposed taking the resolution
from the table on the ground that too
many bills still await consideration to
warrant the house in deciding upon
date for adjournment. Johnson ad-
mitted that there are too many bills.
but advocated the early adjournment
date on the theory that it were better
for the state to have most of the pend
ing bills killed.
Mr.. Stevenson, Hennepin, supported
Johnson's proposition with the claim
that if definite date were fixed the
house would get down to harder work
1t began to look like the adoption Of
the resolution, when the day was saved
by an amendment to fix April Is as the
last day. A show of hands recorded
61 votes for the amendment
Representative w. A. Nolan, one Of
the early adjournment men and one OF
the experienced legislators, voiced the
opinion of large number of members
and senator's, when he said:
1--WE might as we'll let this resolu-
tion go back to the table now. We are
done for now. We win have TO stay the
full session out"
There is very little hope of the
amended resolution being accepted by
the senate and the expected fight viii
probably drag along until 1t results in
no action. The saving of three days
is not enough to fool the dear people
into a belief that a desire TO save
money is at the bottom of the propo-
sition, and the members and senators
generally are not particularly interest,"

This vote implied that the chamber

Schultz Would Transform
Mankato, Moorhead and

spectiyely.

A bomb, in the shape Of bill design
ed TO transform three Of the state nor
mai schools into schools for manual
training, mining and dairying and
cheese making, was dropped in the
senate yesterday morning by Senator
John Schultz. Of Lyon county.
The measure provides that the nor

schools but he is not confident that the
measure will ever get any farther than
the committee on normal schools.
The senator from Lyon declares that
he introduced the bill because IT is his
honest belief that there are too many
normal schools at the present time
Too Many Normal Schools.
"All these normal schools are unnec-
essary," he said, "and in these towns
merely run in opposition to the high
schools. The nOrmals are for teachers,
but two normals can handle 500 stu
dents, and 1 believe this number will
fully cover the number Of teachers
turned out for school work by these
normal schools. We do not need all
these normals, for we are now taking
students from other states.

Agriculturists OF State Will Hold
Convention on Ocean Steamer.
Seattle, July l0.-The State Farmers
Association will hold its annual conven-
tion this year aboard the Pacific Coast
company's San Francisco liner Queen.
That vessel, on the completion of her
present trip, will start from Tacoma on
the evening of July IS, proceeding
thence to Seattle and all the leading
cities of the sound, at which the men,
bers will go aboard.
The liner has been chartered for four
days for the occasion. During that
time the crew will, except in matters
OF navigation, be under the direction Of
Washington's enterprising agriculture
lists. About $50 members of the asso.
citation are expected to attend the con-
vantion. They will live aboard the
vessel during the four days session.

FIRES FAR NORTH
LARGE TRACTS OF ALASKA FOR
ESTS BURNING.
Miles of the New Government Tel
egraph Line Have Been De-
Stroyed--Line Had just Been
Comprehensive Said to Cover
Great Area.

Dawson. July S.-The last link in
the great United States government tel
egraph system connecting st. Michael
with Seattle has been finished but vast
forest fires south OF the place of compile
ton have interrupted communication.
Untold thousands of acres of splendid
timber are being ruined by fires raging
in the upper Tanana basin. Miles of
telegraph poles are burned in the will
derness and the new line has been pros
trated. Enlisted soldiers of the signal
corps have been dispatched from Fort
Gibbon on the north and Fort Egbert
on the south, fighting the fires and re-
placing the line.
The fires started two weeks ago, cut
ting off the advace construction crew in
its rear from the south, shortly before
it closed the last gap.
Additional information was received
here through lower river steamer by
Captain Burnell, chief Of the Alaskan
signal corps, now here en- route to Jul
neau to take prominent part in the
laying of the Alaska-Seattle cable. 1t
is impossible to tell when the burned
poles will be replaced, and advice as to
the wire damage is meager. The fire
region begins fifty miles south of Fair
banks.
The Alaska congressional committee
is due in Dawson tomorrow.
