sions, presenting petitions, and hand
ling the questions here brought for
ward required no little of firmness and
diplomacy.
OF paramount Importance was the
claim of the Cuban liberating army
and towards meeting the government
obligation to the army, one of the first
laws passed authorized the president
to raise a loan of 35,000,000, all but
$8,000,000 of which should be for the
payment of the army. Next in order
of need of attention was the encOur-
agement of agriculture. The prosperi-
ty of the government being so closely
connected with the prosperity of the
sugar industry, steps were early taken
toward the relief of the planter, who
felt that, because of inadequate prices,
he would have to give Up his cane
fields unless aid was given him speedi-
ly. Although satisfactory reciprocity
treaty with the United States was slow
in being effected, the Cubans continued
to show faith that Uncle Sam would
eventually do the right thing by them.
Under reciprocity in the past, the
sugar output reached as high as a
million tons per year. After the ter
mination of reciprocity privileges, the
quantity greatly decreased, and then
came the disastrous war times, when
the output went down to 225,000 tons.
However, the vitality of the sugar in
dustry in Cuba is shown by the fact
that it was the first of all the indus
tries to recover after the war, in 1903
the output rising to something over
900, 900 tons. But the business has not
been generally profitable, and there has
been too much hazard to allow of ex-
tensive opening of new plantations.
Now that fair measure of reciprocity
has been obtained, and the Cuban rail-
way has been completed, the sugar in
dustry will undoubtedly be greatly
stimulated And the country needs the
stimulus; for there is still desperate
poverty among the people, wages are
low, houses in ruins, trades in need
of encouragement.
Under the republic, railroads have
been developed and there has been
much increase in railroad traffic. The
railway begun during military occupa-
ton, connecting Havana and the east

S6,W no better than repeat the
~ words uttered a year ago by
Capt. Matthew E. Hanna,
military attache of the American lega-
ton at Havana: LAS a nation the Gu
bans have, shown to surprising de-
gree the elements that constitute a
stable self-government."
Cuba was especially fortunate in the
selection of her first president, Mr..
Palma, man not embroiled in poll
tics, widely known, having the respect
and love of most impressionable peo-
pie. Immediately upon assuming the
duties of chief executive, President
Palma showed himself ruler that de-
sired harmony ABOVE everything,
choosing his cabinet from all political
classes, refusing to make alliance with
any particular one. His patience and
conservatism have held in check the
radical element in Cuba, and have been

tionary laws have marked so far the
Cuban administration of affairs.
Although the first year of the Cuban
congress had laid to it's charge certain
mistakes and excuses. yet the prophe-
sled fraud and corruption were decid-
eddy not feature of that year; on the
contrary, of the Sc laws passed many
were noticeably wise ones, evidence
was shown that the work begun by
the military government was to be
pretty closely followed. The world
has heard from time to time in the
last two years, of friction in the Gu
ban legislature, of arguments therein
of typical southern hot-headedness;
but such was to have been expected
and the wonder is that affairs have
moved with the harmony and dignity
that they have. Cuba's success in self
government has been remarkable in
that the Cubans had had so little train
ing to fit them to govern themselves
the Spaniards failing to furnish the
islanders experience in this line. And
as Mr.. Hanna says, the machinery
new and untried, was passing through
an adjustment period In addition
congress was from the beginning be-
sieged by an army desiring conces-

conflict, and are allies OF the contending
nations.
The controversies which this agree
-nent settle have beer of long standing,
and affect territory and peoples in all
portions of the globe, as the accompany
ing maps show. The colonial growth of
both nations, the expanding spheres of
influence" in Africa and Asia have pro-
duced diplomatic difficulties which it has
seemed at times nothing but the final ar
bitter of war could definitely settle, and
then, just when the world was expecting
a conflict, comes the word that all these
old grievances, some of them dating
back for a century, have been peacefully
settled.

will be the best means CT arriving at an

easy understanding of them all. First
let us take that concerning Newfound-
land as being the one nearest us, and in
which we are most Interested. For near
Nv 200 years France has had the exclu-
sive right to the west shore of New
foundland, between Cape st. John ana
Cane Ray, and to fishing in the territorial
waters off the west coast OF the lsland'
a fleet of fishing boats from the trencn
islands, Miquelon and st. Pierre, visit
ing the coast annually. France now
ahondons her rights to the French shore,
though retaining her right to dry hsh
there. She also retains the same rlghts
as Great Britain as to fishing in the ter
ritoriaI waters, and stipulates that her
fishermen may take Holsters as well as
Goldfish The bait bill of 1886, which pro-
hibited the sale of bait to foreign nsher-
men. is modified in such way that IN
future the Observation-Disclosures may sell
halt to the French fishermen. Great
Britain will grant indemnities to French
citizens occupied in fishing pursuits on
the treaty shore whose interests are i'm
paired by the new state of things.
There were several distinct differences
existing in Africa, which may be emu
merated as follows: France disliked the
predominant position of England in
Africa, a position which she AIRED pre-
vious to the convention of 1893, but in
the present agreement she recognizes
England's rights there, and does not de-
mand the fixing of definite term OF
years for England's occupancy of the
country. and in return for this England
renews her promise of neutrality for
the Suez canal in time of war.
England recognizes the right of
France, as a limitrophe power, to keep

Gives Life for Her Babes.

Mrs. Charles Luke, residing on farm
In the town of Salem, near Kenosha,
gave up her life to save her two chill
dren from an angry bull. The mother
saw the bull in pursuit of the children.
She managed to get the two children
out of harms way, but when she started
to climb over the fence the bull drove
one of his horns completely thu ough
her body. The woman was carried to-
her home in an unconscious condition
and the doctors said she could not re-
cover from the wounds.

will make their headquarters at the
Auditorium hotel, where ten ROOMS and

It is the opinion of local republicans
that the delegation interested in the
contest before the national republican
committee will be large, as many repub-
licans have expressed their intention
of going to Chicago, either as witnesses
or attorneys before the committee.

THE MOVEMENT OF SMELLS.
Some Odd Facts Relative to Odors
That Are Not Generally
Known.

1t has been ascertained as the result of
experiments conducted by Prof. Zoleny.
Of the University of Minnesota, that the
diffusion of doors through the atmos-
phere is much slower than is commonly
supposed. The professor has investi-
gated this phenomenon experimentaEy.
and he finds that it takes the odor of
ammonia at least an hour and half to
make its way TO the opposite end of
glass tube about five feet long. With the
idea OF throwing some light on the char
acter OF odors-that is, whether or not
they actually consist of tangible physical
particles of sAbatomic size, the expert
ment was tried of allowing the doors
to ascend and descend glass tubes and
noting the time of their diffusion.
One curious phenomenon noticed in
this connection is that the odor of cam
phor assembled twice as fast as it de-
scended, while ammonia diffused equally
rapidly in either direction. tits asserted
that it is the penetrating hydrogen sui
phite odor carried by slowly ascending
currents of air that the vulture class of
birds that feed on carrion are able to
locate their food. These birds are often
seen sailing round and round all day
long until finally, sometimes after the
lapse of two or three days, they have
been able to trace the smell of their food
from great attitudes downward to it's To-
cation on the ground.
AS Prof Moore declares, the distance
from which they come, often 100 miles,
and sometimes from an altitude of 10 900
feet, give some idea of the gentle slope
of these so-called ascending currents
which are twisted and contorted into ey-
cry imaginable shape by the wind"

to be trying to swallow the sun.
1t was learned afterward that some or
these officials were very much ashamed
because foreigners saw them going
through such a performance, for they
considered it all nonsense, but could not
avoid doing it, having been especially
appointed. This shows how completely
even the rulers of the land are slaves to-
these old superstitions, from which they
dare not break away.

France declares that she has no inten-
ton of changing the status quo in the
country.
Gambia, the oldest British settlement
on the coast of West Africa, had only an
area of 90 square miles until the year
1898, when Great Britain was accorded
a strip six miles wide along both banks
of the river as far as it was navigable.
The frontier between the French posses
sions and the British colony of Gambia
is now modified in such way as to give
