CUBA FEARS COMPETITION.
Probable Reduction Of Tariff on Phil
ippines Alarms People.

Havana, Oct. 19.-The fear that the
United Stats will lower the tariff on
Philippine products was one of the
factors that led to the united movement
of the seven commercial, industrial and
agricultural organizations of Cuba in
favor of new treaty with the United
States.
The directors of the joint movement
begun here Tuesday night visited Pres
ident Palma this evening and outlined
to him their purpose of securing gen.
-eral treaty of commerce and navigation
with the United States to supersede the
praesent reciprocity treaty between the
two countries. The committee said it
desired to inform President Palma def
nitely of the project that had been I'M
dertaken. in order that it might be as
sured that the Cuban government fav.
Ored it..

PAY DUTY ON PRESENTS.
President Orders Daughter Treated
Like All Other Citizens.


Chicago, Oct. l8.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Shaw and Collector Stratton
of the port of San Francisco, have had
load of trouble for several weeks
about which the public has known
nothing, and it was lifted yesterday
when the secretary was told by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to collect the legal duty
on ali dutiable articles brought back to
this country by Miss Alice Roosevelt.
The total duty is expected to reach
nearly 100000.
The daughter of the president has re-
ceived during her trip to the Philip
pines, China, Japan and Corea many
pretty and some quite valuable pres
ents. Some of the customs officers
suggested Miss Roosevelt ought to be
allowed to bring the valuables in duty
free, inasmuch as she was treated with
all the honors of a princess and did
much to cement friendship between the
United States and foreign countries
The belongings of crowned heads, OF
royalty and of diplomats are always ad-
mitted free of duty into the United
States. Secretary Shaw received sug-
gestions until he was almost sick. The
presents are worth probably 100000,
and if the usual rate of duty was i'm
posed it would cost Miss Roosevelt or
her father upwards of so per cent or
$50, 900. Neither Miss Roosevelt nor
her father is rich, although the young
is understood to have a modest
fortune in her own right.

Much Better.

Washington, Oct. 10. - Chailm an
Shonts, of the Isthmian canal commits
sion, made the following statement of
his observations on the Isthmus of Pan
anna during his recent visit:
"The most encouraging feature OF
affairs on the isthmus, observed by
every person during the last six or
eight months who had been there pre-
viously, was the feeling among the
men. Chief Engineer Stevens meth
DDS and personality are making strong
impl ession and creating confidence in
his measures.
81 found that substantial progress
had been made in the repairing and
construction of hosues, over 200 of the
old French houses having been repaired
during the last two months. A large
dock at Christobal, which has 2S feet
of water, will be ready for ships in a
very few weeks. Rapid progress is be-
ing made on dock IA, also at Cristobal.
''When these docks are all accepted
and in operation, we shall be able to
handle all the commission material and
a large part OF the Panama commercial
freight from these docks, leaving the
old docks largely for the use of ships of
other lines. We are also putting in
shops and terminal yards at Cristobal
and have planned yards for La Boca
and the end of the line. The bridges
of the Panama railroad have been
strengthened so as to carry the heavier
locomotives now arriving on the 18TH
mus.
General health conditions are illus
trated by the fact that notwithstanding
we have increased the laboring force to
nearly 4 1000 men during the last four
months, the number of patients in An
con hospital was lower than for many
previous months.'

RUSSIA IN NEW FERMENT,

st. Petersburg, Oct. 18. - The strike
at Moscow has given an impetus to the
new wave of strikes and disorders
which is sweeping over the country
and which promises repetition of the
period of stress that prevailed in Janu-
ary and February, though, it is hoped,
on a less serious scale. Besides the
tumult in st. Petersburg and Moscow
strikes and disorders inspired by the
events in the latter place are reported
from Saratoff, Kieff, Kazan, Kharkoff
and other cities, while the strike move
ment has again broken out in Moscow
Dispatchs from Ekaterinoslav, Ku-
ban and Tihis report troubles in the
Caucasus, which, however, have no
connection with the Russian move
ment.
A large part of the working people
seem to be inspired by spirit of un-
rest. The movement is largely politi-
cal, and is engineered by the Social
Democrats and Social Revolutionaries,
many of the leaders of whom deplore
the outbreak at this time, as it will
interfere with the perfected campaign
of the parties during the elections OF
the douma. They say, however, that

irreparable minsfortune and would be
regretted. Both houses subsequently

MONOPOLY CHARGE FAILS.
Beef Packers Will Be Tried, How
ever, for Conspiracy.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Federal Judge J
Otis Humphrey today gave decision
on the demurrer of the meat packers
charged with illegal conspiracy. He
overruled the portion of the demurrer
in which the packers attacked the odd
numbered counts, charging monopoly,
was sustained.
Following the decision, counsel for
the packers asked leave to extend his
demurrer to the third count of the in
dictment to the first count, to which he
previously announced he would enter a
plea of not guilty. The court allowed
this and then overruled the demurrer
to the first count.
Judge Humphrey gave the defendants
until Monday next to enter special
pleas in the case.

this type, and they were regarded as
the finest afioat
France at that time had fourteen
battleships, each of over 10000 tons
displacement, the largest being the
Bouvet, Of 12,2O5 tons There are
now twenty-six battleships, each Of
more than 10000 tons, in the French
navy, the heaviest being the Demo-
cratic class, now building, ships Of A.
635 tons. Italy, In 1895, had ten bat
tleships ranking above the 10000 ton
class. the heaviest being the Lepanto,
a 15,9OO-ton ship, built In 1888, and SO
heavily armed and armored that she
almost found it difficult to get out Of
her own way. She Is now ranked as
second-class battleship; but she Is
not considered fit to stand even in
that line. The Italia, sister ship to
the Lepanto, was built In 1880, and
was for many years the largest bat
tleship ahoat. She represents an early
attempt to build a monster battle
ship, but, apart from size she has
never been considered at all formida
ble Italy now has fourteen battle
ships, each over 10000 TONS the heavi-
est being the Regina Margherita, 49,
124 tons.
In 1895 the United States and Ger
many were equal as to battleships OF
over 10000 tons. Each had four; the
United States had the heaviest ship
in the Iowa, Of II, $40 tons. Germany's
four were uniformly 10000 tons. Now
Germany has eighteen heavy battle
ships, and six building. The United
States has twelve, with thirteen build
Ing and two projected. The heaviest
German battleships to-day are her 12,-
997 ton class; the heaviest In the Uni
ted States is the Connecticut class,
10000 tons.
The wars Of the United States with
Spain and Japan with Russia have not
been without their lessons to the naval
powers, and the tendency Is to build
larger and heavier battleships, so that
they may carry more tremendous bat
teries. The determination to build
these enormous ships was arrived at
only after considera BILE discussion. It
was thought by some naval construc-
tors that more units, each Of consid-
erable power, were to be desired above
a few battleships of the greatest
power.
1t was thought that the Dreadnought
would be the last word in warship
construction for many vaors hpt now,
it appears that Japan is to build three
Of 10000 tons each. Ger
many is reported to be considering a
20,OOO-ton warship, and France next
year is to lay down one of 2O.5OO tons.
Perhaps the contest will end In uni
versal peace. for there is limit to
battleship construction. and If 1t Is
not reached in the Dreadnought, II at
least must be near.

NO details OF the armor to be placed

but 1t Is known that she will be the
most completely armored ship afloat.
Her armor alone will weigh about g.
600 tons. In gunpower tho Dread
nought Is designed to be the most for
midable warship ever seen. No bat
teship in the world to-day carries
more than four Pinch guns, but the
Dreadnough will mount no fewer than
ten, or two and half times as many
as any ship afioat. This enormous bat
terry Of 12-inch rifles will have a COM
olned muzzle energy Of $4,000 foot
tons. Each Of these big guns will
hrow shell weighing $50 pounds. the
battery being able to throw
over four tons OF projecti!es at one
discharge. The Dreadnought will he
