ON WILL OF CARPENTERS.
DR.. Maxwell Laments Over Strike on School
Buildings

THE whole education question is resting on
the goodwill of the carpenters" said William II.
Maxwell. City Superintendent of Public Schools.
at the fourth annual luncheon of the New-York
City High School Teachers Association, held yes
terday afternoon at the Hotel Savoy 'aEd why
they should act they have done I can no more
explain than I explain why the members Of
the New-York City High School Teachers Asso-
citation should choose to lunch by artificial light
on the 1oveliest Saturday afternoon of spring.
Skilled laborers like carpenters know the advan-
tage OF education and would be quick enough to
complain IL the Board of Education did not provide
educational facilities for their children: yet they
interfere directly with that education by holding
up the work on dozen most important buildings
There is a school building In the Borough of
Queens, which I obliged to report five years
ago as absolutely unsafe and disgrace TO the
municipality. Part of a building was at that
time started and completed but the second part is
still unfinished the contractor having been unable
unwilling to fulfil his contract Several months
ago it was taken from him. and hoped that the
building. than which other in the city is more
needed would be completed but yesterday
learned to my horror that the carpenters had gone
on strike and that all work this school had
stopped"
DR.. Maxwell added that the high school build
ings Of New-York we're most unsatisfactory. Only
one. the wadleigh High School. properly
housed, and two others that would otherwise have
been ready in September now depended for COM
pIetion on the permission OF the carpenters

COLLECTORS IN CUBA
RECEIVE SCHEDULES
How Various American Products Will
Fare az Hands of Insalar Gus
toms Officials.

A dispatch OF much Importance TO
commercial interests has just been re-
ceived by Acting Secretary Loomis from
Mr.. Sleeper, United States charge at Ha-
vana. in relation to the application 10
business of the new cuban reciprocity
treat-.
The charge says that the Cuban sec
rotary of state has addressed a circular
TO Cuban collectors of customs notify
ing them that the treaty will take eff
feet beginning the 9th instant. In ad-
dition TO the present declarations by
manufacturers or producers in the Unit
ed States. the invoices must contain
statements that the articles are the pro-
duct of the soil or industry of the Unit
ed States.
Some of the clauses of the treaty
have already been analysed by the Gu
ban treasury department. the glass
schedules coming in for special atten-
ton. 1t has been settled that window
glass shall enjoy a 30 per cent. instead
Of % per cent advantage. the latter
rate applying only to other glass. Porce-
iains enjoy 40 per cent advantage. Cut
lery is given a 30 per cent advantage, as
are cotton and manufactures thereof
with the single exception of knitted
goods. which enjoy 40 per cent advan-
tage with wooden manufactures.
Printing paper enjoys a 30 per cent
rate. while ordinary paper has a 20 per
cent advantage. Cattle is the only live
stock that is accorded 40 per cent ad-
vantage; other kinds getting only 20 per
cent reduction. Machinery enjoys a 25
per cent advantage, except when cop
per does not predominant. in which
case the 20 per cent reduction is extend

Butter enjoys a 30 per cent advantage,

and Russia as allies. Thus may we
escape The dangers of snapshot de-
cision of a great question, or the
shame of bombarding with criticisms
an Administration which is doing the
best that can be done in the circum-
stances.
1t is important for the American of
today to understand one thing. While
Washington's much-quoted advice to
this country, to keep out of entang-
ling alliances, was very good In its
Tine, it will be impossible to follow it
implicitly forever. When he said
tLat the United States and Europe
were, so far as time IS concerned, six
times as far from each other as they
are today, and merchants carried on
profitable trade with the Orient with
cut any diplomatic relations whatever.
Circumstances have changed complete
~ since that day, and it will be i'm
possible for the United States much
longer to avoid having alliances some
where.
