amount they obtained. She vigorous
ly denies that she poisoned Drake,

SEEMS TO BE OVER
Ann Arbor Sophs and Freshies Agree
to Drop Their Cru
sade.

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 2S. - The
hair cutting war between the sophO-
more and freshmen Its has been de
clared off. This is owing to the va
.riOus consequences which await sew
eral members of the classes. as it is
known the official AK is now swinging
high in the air and ready to drop on
several heads. Thursday in response
to a call by President SOnnenschein,
of the sophomore class, and President
Smell. of the freshmen class, the two
bodies met in different rooms and each
appointed conference committee.
The freshmen wanted to declare a
truce in all warfare of whatever ma
ture, but the sophOmores would only
agree to let hair cutting drop and the
freshmen finally accepted this propo-
sition. Each class subsequently rati-
fed the action of the committees. This
means that the sOphomores will prob
ably endeavOr to do something with

WEATHER Is THE FACTOR
That Has Had Much to Do with Trade
This Week, but business Is
Very Good.

New York. March 2S.-R. G.. Dun
& Co.'S s Weekly Review of Trade says
today: Irregularity in retail trade is
due to weather conditions. At most
points an early season stimulates busi-
ness, but in ether sections there has
been interruption from excessive
rains. More uniform activity is re
ported in wholesale trade. with a not
ably large movement of groceries, mil
linery, paper and builders materials,
while conditions are satisfactory for
the season in jewelry:
Manufacturers of clothing, fur
niture footwear and iron and steel are
well engaged. ample supplies of fuel
greatly facilitating operations, but eX-
tensive strikes threaten TO render idle
many New England textile mills. The
cut of spruce lumber has been large,
but early breaking up of winter re-
stricted movement. and high cost OF
labor and provisions rendered opera
tions expensive.
Failures this week numbered PA in
the United States, as against 205 last
year, and % in Canada, against % n
year ago.

Now, here is property in this state. not

Tamayo Says the United States Amend
ments Are All Unfair to Cuba.~
Senor TamayO'S report was the first

argued that tie amendments were all
unfair and prejudicial to Cuban prod
ucts. Senior Mouia, replying. contend
ed that Senor Tamayo had failed 10
show that the amendments did not
protect Cuban sugar, and consequent-
ly it was the duty of the senators
to stand by the treaty. Senor Dolz
argued that not the shadow of a rea-
son had been adduced against the
amendments, and that there was ev-
cry reason sfor believing that the peo-
pie of Cuba had pronounced in IA
Vor of the ratification of the treaty.
He said that Cuba, in Il way. was
involved in United States politics.
From appearances the reciprocity
treaty had become n political question
between President Roosevelt and the
opponents of his reelection. In such
n contest, added the speaker, Cuba
should ally herself with her good and
generous friend against the trusts and
his other enemies.
Senior Sanguilly made n satirical
speech. paying his respects to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. but opposing the treaty
in its entirety, as being contrary to
the interests, independence and dig
nifty of Cuba. SenOr Tamayo's report
was then rejected by 13 votes to Z.

by Admiral Dewey. He admits the
substantial accuracy of the interview,
but disclaimS any intention of desir-
ing to say anything that might be
construed as offensive by the German
emperor or government. He had the
most friendly feelings for Germany,
and referred to the pleasant acquain-
tance he had formed with Prince
Henry of Prussia, the kaiser'S broth
er. in the far east. and their equally
pleasant meeting in Washington dur
ing Prince Henry's American visit
last year.
Attitude of the Administration.
President Roosevelt has not given
the interview any attention nor COM
mented upon it. Secretary Hay de-
clined to discuss the matter. and Act
ing Secretary of .fe Navy Darling
was equally reticent. 1t is known.
however, that the admiraIs remarks
have caused some concern in admins
tration circles. and the officials. while
hoping that Germany will ignore the
affair. are fearful that there will be
no such outcome. As matters stand
the government again is face to face
with an incident that. however triv-
ial it may seem, may tend TO injure
the good relations of Germany and
the United States. There is n fair
prospect that Admiral Dewey will be
officially called to account.
Merely Adnirars Opinion.
If Admiral Dewey meant merely
that he regarded the concentration
of the American feet as an object
lesson to the kaiser that was an eX-
preston of his individual opinion.
Should Germany ask an explanation
this government is able TO say with
clear conscience that no warning
or threat against the imperial govern
ment was intended in the West In
dian naval mobilization.
