suffers from poverty and everybody is
as happy as a king. And there is not
a modern improvement from one end
of the little state to the other. Plainly,
the Andorran situation is worth looking
into.
Long ago a peaceful and fruitful lit
tie valley country, lying between the
Spanish province of Lerida and the
French department of Ariege-it
amounts in all only to 900 square miles
was made into a state. Some believe
that Charlemagne himself was the au-
thor of Andorra's being; others attrib-
ute the honor to Louise lie Debonaire of
France. At all events, in 1878 the
suzerainty of the little country was
divided between the bishops of Urgel
in Spain and the counts of Folk in
France. Though the rights of the
counts of Folk were later made over to
the French government, this system of
double suzerainty has existed ever
since, and has preserved Andorra from
destruction.
The machinery of government that
has served for so many centuries TO
keep the Andorrans in order is very
simple. The country is divided into
twelve parishes, each headed by two
consuls and several councillors. AS
the law of primogeniture still operates
in full force in Andorra, these officers
are chosen by the heads of families,
rather than by popular vote.
The twelve consuls form the general
council of Andorra, which meets twice
a year and whose function it is to elect
the president and the vice president of
the republic. The relations of Andorra
with it's co-princes, French and Span
ish, is a little complicated. France
sends a permanent delegate to Andor-
"a and each of the princes has a rep
resentative in the republic.
The most agreeable feature OF the
local administration is that there Is
so little of It.. There are. however,
two judges, each appointed by a CO.
prince. and a Judge of appeals, alter
nately appointed by the princes lieu

has been heartily in sympathy with all
of its progressive work. and in the
management of its affairs has been a
most active and persistent worker. She
is one of the most popular members Of
the club, and her friends in all musical
circles here are numbered by the hun
dreds. A severe attack of illness a
few years ago very nearly caused the
loss of her voice, but with patient care
and good attention she fully recovered,
and to-day is singing better than ever
before. In the "Athalie" numbers
which she sang a the May concert this
year she put forth all the dramatic eff
fects and powers of which her voice is
capable, and created a most satisfac-
tory impression on the several hundred
of her listeners. Mrs. Finnie is one of
the most apt, versatile and capable
singers in the South, and is always
ready to fill a breach at short notice,
giving a quick reading and thorough
study to works placed before her.

AS for the national finances, there
practically is none. The presidents
salary is $32 a year and the councillors
receive much less. AS there is abso-
lutely no other outlay, and the par
ishes have good revenue from Their
pasture lands, the average individual
tax is cents year. In some years
there is a surplus of revenue, and IN
that case the excess is divided among
the citizens. Thus fiscal problems are
unknown. So are Crokers and Dew

What is the secret of it all? Simply,
that the Andorrans have never eaten

is difficult to believe that there is a
race whose customs have not changed
IN SIX centuries, but such is the case.
smut in as they are by Pyrreneean
snow peaks, the Andorrans have barely
any communication with the rest OF
Europe. There is no way of getting
into this ideal republic save by a mule
path, and during six months of the
year it is unapproachable from the
French side. The country is as inno-

nally there is a postal service, but this
is as unreliable as it's administrators
are nonchalant. Now and then a mes
senger is dispatched from the capital
OF the state TO deliver letters to their
proper destination; but it is only now
and then. But what need of the An
dorrans Of correspondence? They have
no business relations with the world
or railroads. automobiles. newspapers,
stock exchanges and trusts. And as
for their pleasures. they are all con-
fined within the limits OF Andorra.

TWENTY PER CENT is LIMIT
Beet Sugar Men Secure ans Amend
ment to tire Proposed
Cuban Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate com
mittee on foreign rel lions today agreed to
recommend an addition to the amendment
to the Cuban reciprocity treaty, providing
that the reduction of 20 per cent in the
tariff on Cuban sugar shall not be further
reduced by any preferential rate given to
any country. This action was taken at the
Instance of the beet sugar men.
Today's meeting also served to develop
objections to other features of the treaty.
Senator Taliaferro of Florida made an argu-
ment before the committee urging amend
ments to the provisions relating to tobacco
and cattle, and Senators Bacon and Bailey,
both democratic members of the committee,
indicated opposition to the treaty on other
grounds.
Senator Bacon offered an amendment
placing the Cuban treaty on the same basis
as other reciprocity treaties. with refer
ence to the house of representatives, but
the amendment was not acted on.
Senator Bailey took positive ground
against the policy of securing reciprocal
relations with other countries by means OF
treaties. He said that such a course is un-
constitutional, in hat IL is an interference
with the authority vested in the house Of
representatives TO originate all tariff legis-
lation.
The amendment agreed Upon was in the
shape of a proviso attached to the eighth
article of the treaty and is as follows:
Provided that while this convention is
in force no sugar being the product of the
soil Of the republic OF Cuba shall be ex-
ported from said republic to the United
States at a greater reduction of duty than
20 per cent below the rates prescribed by
the act of July "a, 1897; and, provided fur
Their, hat while this convention is in force
no sugar shall be imported into the United
States from any foreign country at a lower
rate of duty than that imposed by the act
Of July "a. 1897"
The committee did not reach a vote on
the motion made by Senator Bacon to strike
out articleT vi OF the treaty exempting
American tobacco from preferential rates
given by Cuba to American articles.
1t is claimed that the adoption Of the
amendment relative to the reduction on
sugar will have the effect of Iinsuring the
support of practically all the republican
senators. The opposition to the striking
out Of the provision regarding tobacco was
on the plea OF tho Cubans that under II
American tobacco might be shipped to
Cuba and then exported from that island
as Cuban tobacco.
II Senator Bacon's pending amendmen
should be adopted the treaty would not
become effective until it should be acted
upon by the house. The amendment reads
This treaty shall not take effect until the
same shall have been approved by the con-
gress.
Senator Bacon was speaking in support
Of this amendment when the committee ad-
journed. There will be another meeting

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE hearing Of the
case Of the State of Minnesota against the
Northern Securities Company was resumed
here today.
George F.. Bak and w. s. Thorne, direc-
tors of the Northern Securities company,
gave evidence. They said they had always
co-operated with ]. ]. Hill. Mr.. Baker told
Of several talks he had with Mr.. Hill in the
fall of 1901 regarding the formation OF the
Northern Securities, company He unders
stood the purpose OF the company was 90
establish a holding company, in which the
permanent or perpetual control Of both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific COM
panies would be placed. "
Mr.. Baker said he had taken no part in
fixing the rate at which the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific stocks should be ex-
changed for Northern Securities stocks;
that matter being left almost entirely to
Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. lThorne says it is his desire to have
the Northern Pacific stock placed with the
holding company, where 1t would not be-
come hostile to or put in opposition to the
Great Northern.
