The Reciprocity Treaty.

u
New York. Oct. ao.-Unted States Con-
sui General Steinhart at Havana has ar
rived here with the idea in view Of in
teresting business men in the Cuban reci-
procity treaty.
1T is earnestly to be hoped that the
treaty will pass Mr.. Steinhart said.
Considering the proximity Of the two
countries and the advantage Of lower
freight rates, the United States should
be able to compete successfully with
European merchants, even il we left out
OF the reckoning the superior sagacity Of
Americans.
"The Cubans desire the adoption of
the treaty as it will insure to them a
market for the next five years and they
are confident that at the expiration of
this period, the relations of the two coun-
tries will be so closely cemented that a
renewal of the treaty will be easily cf-
fected, because it will be to the manifest
interest Of both countries.
Cuba is importing from us at the rate
of 100000, 900 year and | confidently
believe that in six months after the pass
age of the treaty the amount will be
doubled. The increase will be in cotton
goods and rice.
with prices declining in the United
States. it should quickly regain the Cuban
market and sell much more to the island
than ever before"

SPECIAL 10 THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Anaconda, Oct 2o.--1herc was some
disappointment here today when it was
announced that Herrera and Santry would
not meet in this city until October 20,
which is Thursday week hence. The
postponement, so the Mount Haggin club
officials say, was caused by. the present
condition of Aurelio Iicrrcra's hand.
The Mexican has a yer. bad fist 1t is
expected that 10 days training at Boulder
Hot Springs will fix him up, in good shape
and in consequence the match was post
poned SO that both men could have an op.
portunity to train some previous to their
meeting, and the contest would therefore
prove an intereting one to all.

THEY ARE OFF TO THE
BITTER ROOT TO HUNT

Anaconda, Oct. ao.-L. g. Smith, Ben
Mahan and Fire Chief Bob Mentrum left
this morning for the Bitter Root country.
The gentlemen took along guns, ammuni-
ton and dogs,
Their trip is not a prospecting one, for
no one goes there prospecting, neither do
they go there for the purpose of investing
in the fruit raising or ranchng business.
They were rather reluctant to tell just why
they go to the Bitter Root country now,
saying that they will tell more about the
trip when they get back to town.
OF course it is easy to guess that they
don't take guns and dogs along to catch
fish, and the only guess left is that the
well known Anacondans expect to kill
something in the game line while away.
Frank II. Clinton, cashier of the Elec-
trio Light and Street Railway department,
will join the party later.

ST. Louis, May 1.-The great
military parade, which was designed
| to be distinctively the show spectacle
of the exposition dedication cere-
monies. was held during the morning
and ii proved to be all that its pro-
moters could wish and all that the
regular army officers who controlled
IL could hope for There have been
many military parades that revealed
more men in line-there may have
been some that were as gorgeous TO
look upon, but it is doubtful if there
have ever been any that were more
carefully handled or more superbly
managed.
The parade in all features was a
most beautiful and imposing inau-
gural of the ceremonies. Although
Adjutant General Corbin was the
grand marshal, the chief figure of the
parade the active work of organizing
the columns and managing the parade
was done by Brigadier General John
A. Johnston, U. S. A., and Lieutenant
States cavalry, General Corbin's chief
OF staff.
There were II 900 men in line
300 regulars and 1900 of the nation
al guard, New York being represent
ed by 1000 officers and men, Illinois
1000. Iowa $50, Missouri 5000, Okla
homa 200. Ohio 1000.
The formation throughout was in
column of platoons, of all arms at half
distance, the infantry marching six
teen files and the cavalry twelve
troopers front.
