RECIPROCITY IS SLEEPING
HOUSE MUST ACT TO MAKE Gu
BAN TREATY EFFECTIVE.
Ratification Will Have to Be Followed
by Legislation to Carry Out
Its Provisions.

Washington, March 3.-Cuban reel
procity, which one year ago was a
live and burning issue, is practically
dead today. If it were not for the
persistent efforts of the venerable Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama, who is hold
ing out against ratification of the Pan
anna canal treaty, the Cuban PROPOSE
| ton would not be heard of again until
next December, and even though the
| senate has been convened in extra ses-
| sion, the Cuban treaty. if passed and
| ratified, will be a dead letter for near
ly a year.
The house of representatives must
have a chance to enact a law to put
the treaty into effect, inasmuoh as it
changes very materially the existing
schedules of the Dingley bills.
Minnesota member of congress,
who has always been against the Gu
ban concessions, said today: "The
entire situation is changed from a
wear ago. We are not receiving a pc
tition or letter in behalf of poor down
trodden Cuba; on the other hand. we
hear that Cuba is prosperous and do
ing very we'll right now; at the same
time the same interest, and l mean
the sugar trust, is trying to keep the
question alive, and to bind congress
by this Cuban treaty to give the trust
practically a profit of five million pei
annum. In my opinion, the best anti
trust action taken. by this congress
is, the failure to enact the Cuban con
cession proposition"

FREE AND EASY METHODS.
Secretary Cory Explains How Arid
Land Commission Did Business.

dJS SOJutJbb09SOU ~ 0U0ubbS08s
Helena, March 3.-David A. Cory,
secretary Of the state arid land COM
mission, told the irrigation and water
rights committee of the lower house
this evening some interesting things
regarding the commissions methods Of
business. Mr.. Cory admitted that
when members were entitled to S.
per diem expenses they drew $50,
and that they got their regular
monthly salaries Of $50 when they
failed to hold meetings at all for a
space of 60 days. The committee will
probably report tomorrow afternoon
or Thursday. 1t is possible that two
reports will come in, a majority and
a minority.
The Cory testimony mentioned
among other things the fact that in
the spring Of 1899 the commission re-
solved on daily sessions, but held
no session at all for two months, dur
ing which time members drew their
regular per diem. He also admitted
that during progress Of the Sun river
ditch he was absent at Denver for a
month and drew his salary just the
same.
The payment of $1,000 for going
over the books was another point on
which the witness was made to dwell.
He stated that he did so because he
thought it should be done to get the
books in shape, and that he would re-
pay the money from his own pocket, If
necessary. In this connection State
Examiner Hudnall was put on the
stand and said that he insisted that
the books be gotten in shape and that
Mr.. Cory has had the work done.
An opinion from Attorney General
Donovan was submitted to the COM
mittee, but that body refused to en-
terrain it.
IF We want to get an opinion from
Attorney General Donovan" said
Chairman, Everett, I'VE will ask him
for it."

Judicial Status Of Golf.

Justice Harlan, who has entered the
twenty-sixth year of service on the
bench of the Supreme Court OF the
United States. is 20 years of age and
has no wish to retire. Golf must have
a lot to do with his vigor. He is the
judge who took a boxful of papers TO
the country with him one summer. In.
stead of writing opinions he was out
on the links. His explanation of his
failure TO find time for his ordinary
duty will be long remembered. He
pointed out cheerfully that golf was
not a game. but a disease, and that ne
had caught it.
