Republicans Anxious to Adopt Pan.
anna and Cuban Treaties.


Washington, March 6.-The repub-
lean senators will make a united eff.
ort to secure action on the Panama
ANAL treaty and the Cuban reciprocity
reaty as speedily as possible. A meet
ng of the republican steering commit
zee Of the senate was held after ad-
lournment yesterday, and this course
was decided on. The situation was
discussed at some length and the con-
,lusion reached that business might be
greatly facilitated by keeping as many
senator's as possible In the city and in
heir seats, and the individual mem.
oers of the steering committee agreed
% devote their energies to this end.
No one In the committee had any
iefnite information as to the time that
may be consumed in debating the
treaties, but 1t was stated as a rumor
that Senator Morgan had said that as
here were number of new members
Of the senate he would feel 1t incum.
bent on himself to go over the ground
lutte completely, and even to review
much that he had already said. The
evident purpose of the republicans Is
70 avoid il possible roll calls on &C.
count of the absence of quorum and
to keep the senate running as steadily
as possible. The Cuban treaty under
the extension provided for in the
agreement between this country and
Cuba expires at the end Of this month.
The Panama treaty, however, will be
the first of the two to be taken up.

AMERICANS LEAD MARKETS.
German Paper Urges Manufacturers to
Use American Methods.

Berlin, March 7.-Export, a trade
paper devoted to extending German
,oreign trade, devotes a series Of
articles to studying the methods by
which American goods are supplanting
German goods in foreign markets. The
articles consist largely of letters from
Germans living in Mexico, Venezuela,
Brazil and Australia. The writer's ex-
plain that German manufacturers are
being beaten because they are unwill-
ing to guarantee agents fixed salaries,
as Americans do, and also because
they depend on sending out catalogues,
whereas the Americans keep stocks
of goods In established agencies,
where buyers are able to purchase af
ter seeing the goods and therefore pre-
fer to deal with the Americans.
Export urges the German manufac-
turers to abandon their penny wise,
pound foolish" policy, and give their
agents decent fixed salaries, so as to
enable them to withstand the flatter-
ing offers of their American competi-
tors, adding: This Is all the more
important since American competition
in the worlds markets will evidently
grow keener during the next ten
years"

coNvIcTs GET HIGH GRADES.
Women's Marks at Anamosa Lower
Than Those of Men.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE report
Of the Anamosa prison school which
was filed yesterday in the office of the
state board of control, shows that
during the month just closed l60 in.
mates were in attendance at classes.
Of these lat were men and Is women.
The total cost Of the school for the
month was SASS.
All of the grades secured during the
month were extremely high, none of
he men going below so in any subject
except penmanship. Among the men
marks of 100 in arithmetic. algebra
and geometry were numerous. In
penmanship, however, the grades in a
number of instances fell as low as so.
The marks of the women are gen.
orally lower than those of the men.
This is taken as an indication that
weakness Of the intellect is an &C.
,ompanying symptom of criminality in
women. During the month only two
inmates were reported for non-attend-
ance at classes. The report states
hat most of the prisoners enjoy at
lending the schools.

New York, March THE Herald

sion, appointed by President Roose.
welt, which 1t is expected will be
handed to the president within a week: :
There will undoubtedly be at least
a 10 per cent advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time
that the miners returned to work last
October. The per diem employees will
not have their wages increased, but
will be recommended for the same
pay for day of nine hours.
The way Of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable the operators
will be required to pay by weight, in.
stead Of by the car, and elsewhere By
the lineal yard. The miners will have
check docking representatives at
their own expense. This will practic.
ally amount to q second raise in
wages.
There will be indirect recognition OF
the union, which will come when the
findings are submitted by President
Roosevelt to John Mitchell. as presi.
dent of the miners union.
The causes of the strike, as found
by the commission, will not be com
forting to the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned, and
the principle will be laid down that a
miner has a right to work without mo-
lestation. even though he does not be.
long to the union.
The terms Of the verdict are to
hold good for three years. and recon.
mendations are to be made for settle
ments of wage and other questions at
the end of that period.
In local disputes the operators will
be advised to treat with committees of
the miners and there may be a sug.
gestion for local boards OF arbitration.
