Cady Of the assembly committee on
judiciary is one of the most alert and
dutiful members, net only of that com
mittee, but Of the whole house TO
his committee are assigned all the
legal questions that arise in the lowe T
branch and many very knotty prob
lens must be solved. 1t is the most
important of all committees and has
the greatest amount of work to do.
Not infrequently during some sessions
has the progress of legislation been
delayed by the inactivity Of that COM
mittee, but such is not the case this
year. The almost daily reports form
patent evidence of the great industry
OF Mr. Cady and his associates. But

wakeful, questioning this measure
or pointing out the merits of that aud
generally exercising a very helpful
influence. He has grown in strength
and usefulness distinctly during the
two sessions he has served and not
only his abilities and courage but his
nice sense of humor give him fine
standing among his fellows. Madison

TREATY IN DANGER.

euAans to Insist on Ratification
 This Year.
 HAVANA, March 27.--The chances for the carrying through of the reel procity treaty appear slender unless the United States government comedies the right of the Cuban senate to pro- vide that the treaty shall not be ef- fective unless it is ratified by the Unit ed States congress during the present year.
 The senate committee on foreign re- lations met yesterday afternoon, one member being absent, and unanimous ly decided to report in favor of the adoption of all the amendments added by the United States senate to the treaty, but also to adopt a separate pro- vision as an accompaniment to the ef- feet that the ratification must be com plete before Dec. 31. ]. The chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee. Senor Bustamente, made statement at the conclusion of the days meeting, at which were heard the representatives of the commercial, manufacturing and agricultural inter ests, who all favored the ratification of the amended treaty and urged that 1t be made effective as early as possible.
 During the afternoon. said Senor Bus tanaente, the committee was informed of the contents of a cablegram from Secretary Hay to the effect that the treaty could not now be amended, that the amendment covering the reference to congress applied only to the United States congress and giving assurances of President Rooseveits intention to call special session of congress prior to December.
 It was believed that these assur- ances, coupled with the unanimity with which the business men who were consulted urged the ratification of the treaty, would result in favor able report unhampered by any con dition, but the committeeman appear to believe that the condition that they recommend will not injure the treaty and at all events the treaty is unde sirable unless 1t can become effecttv' early next year.
 Questioned as to whether the added provision would not require the ap proyal of the United States senate which is now impossible, Senor Busta mente replied that the provision wa not necessarily part of the treaty.

s4 4 " Muscular Sexton Unconsciousdy Rang
 Military Alarm.
 New Britain, March 27.-Just a mdn- ute or so before 8 o'clock last night the fire alarm bell in the Baptist church |steeple began to strike. At the first two strokes the crowd of people thought there was a fire. Members of the differ ent fire companies started on run for their quarters. The bell continued to ring at regular intervals until many had counted the new military call of eleven strokes. This created even more excitement than the thought of fire did. Some people started toward the stafe armory. Members of both Con- panies I and E hurried to the armory and astonished the armorer by rushing In on the drill floor and asking where the officers were and what the trouble was
 Meanwhile Charles c. Higby, the sex ton at the Baptist church. had been the unconscious cause of all the excite ment. It was the night for the reg u1ar weekly church meeting and the sexton thought he would put a few meeting. The same bell Is used both for calling people to church and for announcing fire alarms. The fire alarm is rung by electricity and gives a much stronger sound than when the bell is worked by hand for church ser vice. but last night the sexton used a little extra muscle with the above ef- feet.
