[ HSPIRACY ID ANNEX
 CUBA ID UNITED STATES
AMERICAN MINISTER CHARGED WITH BEING fl PARTY
 TO IT.

Report That the Recall of Mir. Squiers
 May be RequesteG-ReasOn of Cuban
 Government UphOIding the Anglo
 Cuban Treaty-Fear That Great
 Britain May Withdraw Her Legation
 and Regard Cuba Merely as a Ward
 of United States.
 Havana, Oct. 26.-The administration newspapers characterize the talk of an- nexation to the United States, which has cropped out in connection with the Anglo Cuban commercial treaty, as a conspiracy, and even broadly hint that Herbert G. Squiers, the American min ister, is party to it. The Discussion, a government organ, has prepared a list of alleged annexationists which is said to include MT. Squiers and other prom inent Americans, as well as Spaniards and Cubans. MT. Squiers, while cogni- zant that there has been some talk of the application by Cuba for annexation as a more or less remote contingency, has not concerned himself with the con- troVefsy regarding the treaty, except as the accredited representative of the United States.
 An unauthorized report is published this evening that Mir. Squiers' recall will be requested. The report is treat ed as g. joke.
 One version of the reason for the gov- ernment's persistence in upholding the Anglo-C Cuban treaty is the possibility that Great Britain will withdraw her legation and regard Cuba as ward of the United States.

Presidents Chief Address.

President Roosevelt's speech at the luncheon follows:
 'Let me, at the outset, express through my profound gratitude, my deep appreciation of the way in which the people of New Orleans and Louis- jana have greeted me tc-day Gentle men, no president of the United States could be greeted as have been greeted to-day and not go back to take up the duties of his office with stronger and more earnest purpose to try to repre- sent all the splendid people whom he serves. And, governor, as you have so well said, when man is president, when he holds any public office, ques- tions of merely partisan character sink into absolute insignificance compared with the mighty questions upon which all good Americans are united.
 And, now, gentlemen, as you have greeted me so well; you have given me the opportunity to indulge myself in a luxury. There have been moments in

VERDICT FOR $50, 241.
Granted Against Messrs Letter, Hoad-
 ley and Fields.

New York, Oct. 526.-A verdict for $S0.2A against Joseph Letter, Joseph H. Hoadley and Cyrus F. Judson was to- day returned by jury in the supreme court in the suit brought against these three defendants by William H. Frank lin and George I. Scott. The plaintiffs claimed that, as members of the firm of Franklin, Scott & Co.,, in April, 1902, they lost $65,SO0 by carrying stock for a pool in International Power company's S stock which included Messrs. Judson, Letter and Hoadley. They sued for re- covery of the full amount, with inter- est, which the jury granted.
 Letter and Hoadley set up the defense that there was no pool between them and Judson, and attempted to show that Judson alone was responsible in handling the International Power com pany's stock when it's price dropped in the crash in the spring of 1902.

BULLETS FOR RIOTERS
 IN RUSSIAN CAPITAL
TROOPS ORDERED TO FIRE IN CASE OF SERIOUS OUT BREAK.

Notification Printed in the Papers-Ban
 Cartridges Will be Used Without Any
 Preliminary Firing-GOverment Suc-
 ceeds in Moving Trains Manned by
 Military Operatives-Trafic Resumed
 IrreguIarly on the MOseow-St. Peters
 bug Line-Strikers as Determined
 as Ever.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-st Peters burg was in a panic to-day, but to a large extent apparently without reason. The most alarming rumors were in cir culation and the shopkeepers on all ex- cept a few of the principal streets clos ed their stores and boarded up the doors and windows, while peaceful minded inhabitants kept within doors. Anxiety was evidenced in the whole att mosphere of the city, but so far noth- ing has occurred to justify these fears. There were no disorders.
 General Trepoff, who has beeen plac- ed in command of the St. Petersburg garrison and given an additional diYi- sion of endorsements, declares that he is amply able to maintain order and the police are allowing the strikers to vent their enthusias mso as to avoid a conflict. General Trepoff instructed the police not to interfere with the parades so long as they were orderly, but he gave notice tonight that he was pre- pared to cope firmly with any disorder He had printed in all the evening pa- pers a notification that the troops would tomorrow be ordered to use ball cartridges without any preliminary fir ing of blank cartridges in case there should be any outbreak.
 By the greatest exertions the goverr- | ment to-day succeeded in moving trains manned by military operatives on a few railroads. Traffic was resumed ir- regularly on the Moscow and St. Pet ersburg railroad and on lines from Moscow to Brest and Kazan. The first efforts were directed to the moving of cattle trains so as to meet the pinch Of approaching famine in the two cap | itals and one train load of cattle ar rived at St. Petersburg and another at Moscow. Peasants are also driving cat tie on the hoof into Moscow.
 A scanty supply of milk, butter and eggs is arriving in St. Petersburg over the Finland railroad, the employees of which refuse to strike.
 The situation, however, cannot be re- garded as much improved. The strikers at their meetings to-day were as deter mined as ever to continue the strike and the full force of the government railroad battalions is almost helpless in the fact of the general strike on the railroads. The most encouraging feature of the situation is the absence of any widespread disorder.
 Picturesque details have been re- ceived of the uprising at Khrakoff, where students and strikers took pos session of the locality in the center of the city containing the university, the cathedral and other buildings, threw up barricades, constructed a regular fort sess and elected a provisional govern ment; but cool heads on either side ef- fected an arrangement which made it unnecessary for the troops to storm the revolutionary citadel, the defend CTS of which marched out with full hon ors of war. # Continued on Second Page.)

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this pla"e. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass off In month she
would have the spells again. AT these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box OF Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodds Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls.
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

Must Refund Bonus.

The supreme court has affirmed

Sutton & Mackey a $4,000 bonus TO put

contract and the village sued TO re-
cover the amount of its bonus Judge
Smith gave the village judgment of
$4,000 and interest from the date Of
giving the bonus, amounting to about
$500. This opinion Of the supreme
court settles the question of giving
bonuses and establishes the right of
any municipality 10 sue and recover

all of Owossos and Flint's big indus
tries were fostered by bonuses. Owos-
so alone has in the past four years
given more than $4,000 in bonuses.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LANE
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1908. when over
forty-fve thousand people went from
the United States 10 Canada that the
limit of the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Ameri
can citizens signified their intention
OF becoming settlers on Canadian
lands. the general public were pre-
pared for the announcement of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when ii is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
in the fact that the Spring movement
Canadaward is greater than 1t has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha. Chicago, st. Paul, Detroit.
and other gateways has been crowd
ed Many have gone TO join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources. sat
isfed that what others have done can
also be done by them. This year
much new territory has been opened
up by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
best grain and grazing lands on the
continent. This new territory has
attractions for those desiring 10 home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage of the opportunity 10
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
II does not require much thought TO
convince one that if Iowa. Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands. with a
value OF from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give a good
living by producing ten TO thirteen
bushels of wheat TO the acre and thir-
~ TO fifty bushels of corn TO the acre,
the l-nds of Western Canada at seven
10 ten dollars an acre. producing
from twenty TO thirty bushels of a
superior wheat to the acre should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres
of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
vited the cattle and horse producer
Of the North American continent.
What is particularly evident in West
ern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands,
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents of the
Canadian Government. who are al
ways willing to give information and
advice TO intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea
son is greatly in excess Of last sea
son.

The butter product of the United
States, according to the official figures,
exceeded last year 1,500,000,000
pounds. says the American Cultivator.
The number of dairy cows was ten
million. showing that the average COW
produced only about 100 pounds per
year, or about three pounds per week,
which is hardly n good return for the
care and feed. The average cow GER
tainly is not a remarkably good paying
proposition. and in order to bring the
figures as low as they are a great many
of the cows must yield less than three
pounds per Wees. To the question,
Does dairying pay?" the answer must
depend largely upon the COW. With
butter selling high enough to encourage
imports from Australia there seems to
he room enough here for better cows
