of Cuban President.

Lottery Bill Fails to Receive Sanction
of Cuban President.
Havana, Jan. 8.-President Palma
has signed his veto of the lottery bill
which he had prepared last month in
expectation of the passage of the bill.
The president, in stating the rea
sons for his veto, holds that lottery
is a lowering and corrupting device
and that the government would be
culpable in taking money Of the people
obtained through such scheme, nc
matter what the end at which the lot
terry aimed.
President Palma has been assured
that the bill cannot be repassed over
his Veto At all events there will be
little time for any discussion over the
bill as congress proposes to adjourn
this week until March next.
The object of the lottery bill was
to pay the veterans who fought fol-
Cuba in the war against Spain.

SAID TO BE UNSATISFACTORY.
Japanese Officials Considering the Rus
sian Reply,


sian Reply.
Toxic, Jan. s.-The government is
silent concerning the terms of the
Russian rejoinder. A high authority
here, however, says that the reply is
unsatisfactory to Japan, especially in
its features bearing upon the question
of Korea. He says that the Russian
government in its communication ex-
presses a desire for a peaceful settle
ment of the matters in dispute.
Japan has taken the reply under
consideration and if convinced that
Russia's protestations are honest and
that there is a chance for peace she
will continue the negotiations. At the
same time the ministry is unqualified
ly opposed to long delay. 1t is be-
coming apparent that Japan would re-
sent any intervention upon the part OF
any of the outside powers in the ex-
tremity of the crisis. 1t is thought
possible here that the United States
might intervene. Such Intervention,
the japanese say, would be unjust and
only create delay which would be adj
Vantageous to Russia.

NO CHANGE NECESSARY.
Republican National Convention Will
Be Held in Chicago Coliseum.

DC T1CId III SiiiScSO SS'SSNia
Chicago, Jan. S.-Although the Coli

closed by order of Building Commits
sioner Williams Wednesday, it is
stated that the order will rescinded
within forty-eight hours, and that no
change in convention plans will be

aional committeeman from Illinois,
and Senator Hanna, who are in town.
Their investigation over, both gentle
men expressed the opinion that there
was NO safer building in the world.
Statements to this effect were made
by Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Stewart and
their publication authorized.
MT Hanna said the convention
would be held in Chicago as planned.

SLIGHT HOPE OF PEACE.
Pessimistic Feeling in French Official
Circles.

Circles.
Paris, Jan. 8-Offcial and diplo-
matte circles here claim to be without
information regarding the contents of
the Russian reply to Japan, but the
tone is distinctly pessimistic and
there are but slight hopes of peace
full exit from the position in which
Russia and Japan find themselves.
The diplomats are making inquiries
as to the attitude of the powers in
case of war, that to be adopted by the
United States being regarded as par
ticularly important. To the Associated
Press the Japanese minister said:
"The attitude of the United States
will mean much. She has negotiated
a treaty with China for the opening of
three ports in Manchuria to the COM
merce of the world. These ports have
been occupied by Russia and thus her
treaty rights have been violated.
Japan is not guided by selfish mo-
tives, but is acting in the interest of
all nations. 1 hope the United States
will clearly understand our position
and will favor us with their support"

Is There Any favoritism Shown b

We hear considerable to the con

to investigate matters pertaining to
their children's school life, but we
know it to exist in spite of denials,
and a great many. parents can tes-
tify to it.
It may be natural for a teacher to

There are insta noes in this town

school for nine or ten years have
never been requested to take part Ia
