PLAIN DUTY TO CUBA.

Certain congressman are beginning
TO talk about the constitutional diff.
cultles" Of ratifying the reciprocity
treaty with Cuba. They seem disposed
to raise a time-wasting controversy
over the exact form In which the trea.
ty shall bo passed.
II is always easy for those who wish
to evado plain duty TO find excuses.
The constitutional hair.spltting which
has begun in Washington would ap-
pear TO be OF that character That the
congressman who are thus amusing
themselves are precisely those who
long have put beet-sugar interests
above national interests is significant.
What the people want-what they
have voted for in two national cleo
tions-is not more delay in this mat.
ter, but the prompt performance by
congress Of its plain duty to Cuba and
to the United States.
The welfare OF Cuba and the wei.
fare of the United States demand that
Cuba be no longer permitted TO drift,
and that the bonds OF maternal inter.
est which unite Cuba to this nation
shall be knit up soon and well.
The gentlemen who think 1t good
politics to palter with their plain du.
ty toward Cuba would do well to look
back and recall what happened to
some OF the conspicuous congressman
who paltered their plain duty in the
case OF Porto Rico.

Wants Treaty Amended.

Washington, July Ex-senator Pedro
Yelez, who represents the opponets Of the
Panama Canal treaty in the Colombian
Congress, has arrived here. He came at
the request Of bis associates to confer With
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge, and
ascertain just why the treaty cannot be
amended.
Senator Velez antagonizes the section Of
the treaty which gives the United States
virtually perpetual lease over the strip
through which the waterway will run. He
thinks this section should be modified.
DIR. Herran has frequently informed the
authorities at Bogota that any amend.
ment Of the treaty means its failure, Sena-
tor ye.ez came here to personally deter
mine the attitude Of DR.. Herran. He
will probably visit Secretary hay and
other officials. His report viii doubtless

POWDER MILL EXPLOSION.
;hree Men Killed, Two Hurt and Three
BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

Wllkesbarre, Pa, July 13.-Three men
killed and two seriously hurt, together
with three buildings destroyed, is the re-
suit of an explosion at the Latin Powder
Works this afternoon,
Tie free of the explosion shook every
house in the town of Latin. The people
knew what bad happened, and the streets
leading to the scene were soon lined with
excited throDgs hurrying to the mill.
The dead:
Alexander Moore, Latin, 45, died from
burns; Joseph Gray, Pittston, 80, blown to
pieces; Arthur Gray, PIttston, son ofJoseph
Gray, %.
The injured:
Thomas Haines, Yatesville, as, hurt by
flying timbers; Josiah Twist, 90, Latin,
arms hurt by being blown against hyi ng
debris.
The explosion occurred in what is called
the press, and the men killed were in it at
the time Of the explosion. A theory is
that the explosion was caused by friction
from some of the machinery.
The bodies of Moore and Arthur Gray
were found buried under under the debris,
and we're badly burned. Joseph Gray
was found two hundred feet from the mill,
his body literally blown to pieces, scattered
here and there.

AFRAID OF THE REPORTER.
People In Various Walks of Life Fear
the Visits OF the Gatherer
of News

One of the sad features OF civil
and military life is the unprepared-
ness of men in the presence of the
newspaper reporter. Without the
reporter there might be papers, but
not newspapers, says the New York
Press. He is q necessary evil if he
be any kind of evil. Those who fight
hardest against him and oppose his
mission are the very ones who at
some future day need him most, a1A
it is they who will work most strenu-
ously to use him for their purposes.
1t gives me pleasure to say that we
of the fourth estate are gradually
educating the public in the art of
receiving newspaper men and treat
ing them with that courtesy and
frankness which the exigencies of
the hour demand. We are here to
stay. We are friends of all good and
enemies of all guile.
One of the leading reporters in this
city was introduced to Wall street
broker, a man of no considerable
consequence, but much puffed up
with his success as an eighths-and-
quarters go-between. The intro
duced had neglected to mention that
he was reporter and the converse
ton was general. Later on the
identity of the gentleman was ex-
posed, whereupon the broker threw
up his hands, exclaiming: Good
God! A reporter? I'm ruined. Why
didn't you say so before you intro
duced him?" The situation was
slightly strained. The reporter said
quietly: Don't let that worry you.
In the first place, am not here for
news, ideas or suggestions. In the
second, what you know IS not worth
publishing. In the third, nobody out
side of this Office ever heard OF you;
therefore, what you might say
would be of no newspaper interest.
In the fourth I carry more Wall
street secrets in nay memory than
you ever dreamed of-secrets of big

In less than two months that

friend to the reporter begging him
to mention an affair in which he per-
sonally was deeply interested. He is

be holier than reporters until need

he goes as straight as he can
to the best doctor he knows.
He realizes that the best
Doctor is more likely to
cure his sick and then the
