Isle of Pines Troubles.

Washington.-Senor Quesada, Cuban
minister, called at the State Depart
ment Wednesday and seemed to be
considerably agitated over the news
of the movement of the Isle of Pines
to oppose the formal transfer of the
island to Cuba. He had an interview
on the subject with Secretary Root
but declined to make any statement
concerning it.
The contention of the American resi-
dents that as they own in fee simple
five-sixths of the ground, and as the
remaining one-siXth is In the hands of
one or two Spanish families, the 1,20O
native residents being non-property
owners, they have a right to be heard
by this government a suggestion has
been made here that is known to have
received serious official consideration
to the effect that in view of the fact
that the War Department actually did
at one time give ground for belief on
the part of some persons that the Isle
OF Pines was American, it would be
only just for this government to pay
these settlers for the land.

MISSIONARY MASSACRE,
Chinese Minister Says It Was Caused
by Personal Quarrel.

Westinghouse boycott, no race
feeling, bit a mere personal quarrel
was the cause of the death of the five
American Presbyterian missionaries
recently at Lienchow, China, accord
ing to the report made to-day to Sec
retary Root by Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng, the Chinese minister here.
The minister had with him when he
came to the State Department a copy
OF a long cablegram from the viceroy
of kwantung and Kwangsi bearing
on this subject.
The viceroy reported that DR..
Machle and Miss Patterson. two of the
missionaries who escaped massacre by
reason of their temporary absence
from Lienchow, had just reached Can
ton under a strong Chinese guard. Ac-
cording to DR.. Machle and his investi-
cations We're shared in by the Ameri-
can consul agent, the anti-American
boycott had nothing to do with the
tragedy.
The trouble arose from the holding
of Chinese festival and fair. As an
incident to this fair the Chinese
erected pavilion or booth which the
missionaries claimed overlapped the
mission hospital compound several
feet. The missionaries expected the
removal of that part of the building,
but before the request could be com
plied with one of the missionaries
went into the pavilion grounds and
seized several small cannon with
which salutes We're being fired as a
part o. the festival.
These cannon were held TO be sacred
instruments by the Chinese. They
were finely chased with symbolic de-
signs and gorgeously ornamented for
this particular occasion. The Chinese
believed that each discharge blew
away Or destroyed certain malignant
spirits lowering about the place
Consequently, according to the re
port, the seizure of the cannon created
at first CONSERVATION and then anger
and the ill feeling eliminated in the
attack upon the missionaries and their
death.
The report says that soldiers have
been dispatched to the affected district
with orders to apprehend the mur-
derers.

DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Plan for Financing Great Cripple
Creek Project.

Colorado Springs, Colo-The plan
suggested by the finance committee of
the Cripple Creek Mine Owners AS
sociation to finance the projected deep
drainage tunnel was unanimously
adopted at meeting attended by
more than score of representative
operators in this city this afternoon.
Every mining company in Cripple
Creek will be asked to contract to pay
two per cent. Of it's net mill and smell
ter returns into the tunnel fund. This
assessment will be levied upon all ore
mined through the tunnel, but will
eapply only upon production of compa-
MES after July 1, 1907.
The contract provides that the sum
of SS00,000 shall be raised by July /,
1906, work on the tunnel to begin
within sixty days after that amount
shall have been secured. Since July /
1907, is the time limit within which
the 100000 shall be raised, the tun-
mel will be started by September /,
1907, at the latest and as much sooner
, as the amount named shall be raised.
A company to be known as the Grip
pie Creek Drainage and Tunnel Com
pany will be incorporated in this state
with a capitalization of $1,000,000, di-
vided into 100000 shares of par
value of $40 each. This stock will be
offered to mine owners first and what
ever shares are left will be placed on
the open market.
A committee of five will be ap-
pointed to submit the contracts to
mine owners and operators at once
and to offer stock for subscription. The
tunnel plan adopted is that known as
the Window Rock" tunnel, which
will have its portal in Window Rock
sulch, in the Cripple Creek district.
The Portland Gold Mining Company,
the Golden Cycle company, and other
East Side mining companies which at
first expressed reluctance to join the
deep drainage proposition are now
friendly to the plan.

Sues the Equitable Life.

Denver.-John X. Smith. promi-
nent Denver lawyer. has sued the
Equitable Life Assurance Society for
$500. In 1887 he took out a profit
sharing endowment policy for $1,000
maturing in fifteen years. When the
policy matured, he claims that the
company did not pay him his honest
share of the profits, which are now
shown to have been much greater than
were represented, inasmuch that he
should have received $500 more than
was paid him. He has since learned
that during the past fifteen years the
business of the company has been
enormously profitable. He has also
learned that since May 2S. 1905, when
he accepted settlement of his claims
against the company, large sums Of
money have been restored to the com
pany by the officers, in which sums the
plaintiff would have shared had the
company's business been honestly con-
Quoted, and that the process of regur-
citation, both voluntary and assisted,
is still going on.
On this showing Smith asks the
court for judgment in the amount of
$500 with interest and for the costs
of suit.

DUTY ON HIDES.
Boot and Shoe Men Ask Roosevelt to
Aid in Its Repeal

Washington. - President Roosevelt
was asked Wednesday to use his in
fiuence to have the customs duties on
hides removed in the interest of all
the people of the country.
A delegation of boot and shoe and
leather manufacturers, headed by
Governor Douglas of Massachusetts,
called on the President by appoint
ment and discussed with him pretty
fully the proposed repeal of the duty
on hides. The delegation numbered
twenty-eight men, the majority being
from New York and the West, and the
minority from the New England
states. In the course of the interview
the president spoke so frankly and
sincerely to his callers that they burst
into cheers that made the executive
office ring
Subsequent to the departure of the
delegation from the White House,
President Roosevelt authorized the
publication of his remarks on the
object of its mission. He related an
experience he had last year with
committee from Massachusetts, OF
whom Mr.. Whitney, recently candi-
date for lieutenant governor of Massa-
chuseets, was one.
He said Mr.. Whitney had misquoted
him in the campaign which was closed
a few days ago, and declared that he
was constrained to believe" that Mr.
Whitney had deliberately misrepre-
sented what had occurred" With this
experience in mind the President de-
clined to enter upon a discussion of
the subject Of free hides at this time.

money center of the world the way is
clear for the Moffat road to 90 10 it's
original destination unhampered. Mr.
Moifat and his associate. William G.

affairs OF the railroad. and they had
been patiently waiting for the govern
ment 10 withdraw its claim to the Core
canon reservation in order that they
might make public the intention of
proceeding with the construction of
the man tunnel on the road. as they
had made arrangements some time
ago for all the necessary funds.
AT the Offices of the railroad
throughout the day much was accom-
plished. New life had been given to
the great undertaking. Mr. Deuel. had
with him j. j. Ryan. tae contractor
for the bore to begin at this side of the
mountain. and the general superin-
tendent was also giving orders for the
work at the other end. All the plans
were completed two years ago. and
the bids for the work were tabuated
and the contract with the successful
bidder ready to be signed in anticipa-
tion. When the work was about to be
undertaken before, the powers that be
on Wall street intervened. Now the
right of way is cleared for business.
This mornings announcement should
give decisive impetus TO every bust

RAISING KIDS IN FRANCE.
America Receives 5000, 900 Pounds Of
Skins Annually.

Among the farmers of the more
mountainous regions of France the
raising of kids is an important indus
try. AS the skins are used for the
manufacture of gloves, softness, deli
cacy of texture and freedom from
blemish are the principal qualities
required in them, and great pains are
taken to secure these essentials.
AS soon as the kids are old enough
to crop grass, or eat other vegetation,
their skins begin to decline in quail
ty, as with such diet the skin begins
to grow coarser and harder in tex
ture. thus losing its chief value.
Hence the farmer takes his kids at
an early age and pens them carefully
on bare ground where they cannot
eat, and where they run no risk of
accidental injury from the scratches
or bruises which would impair the
value of the skin.
When the kid attains the age at
which the skin is considered at its
best for the use of the glover, it is
killed, and the cured hide put away
for sale to the travelling hawkers,
