NEW RECIPROCITY TREATY..
America Getting Worsted by Present
Agreement With Cuba.

Washington, April 9.-Actipg under
instructions from the State department,
Edwin Morgan, minister at Havana,
has been in conference with the Cuban
Foreign Office, with the purpose of
framing new reciprocity treaty. The
treaty may be ready for submission be-
fore the adjournment of the the present
senate session.
The reason for the preparation of
this new treaty is that the officials here
have become convinced that America is
getting by far the worst of the bargain
under the present arrangement. While
nearly all of the exports from Cuba
come to our ports, only a little more
than one-third of the imports into
Cuba are furnished by the American
farmers and merchants, Europe fur.
nishing practically the balance.
The Cuban governme Mt did not care
TO make the concessions, but it was
confronted with the fact that otherwise
here would be no treaty at all at the
expiration of the present convention,
md, without the preferential rates of
he treaty it would be impossible to
market Cuban sugar and other staples
n America at profitable rates, thus
threatening ruin to Cuba.

HUMPHREYS USGENT PLEA.
He Predicts Disaster if Ship Subsidy
Bill Should Fail.

Washington. April 9. - Representa-
tive Humphrey, of Washington, today
informed the president that, unless the
ship subsidy bill is passed, Japan will
soon control the entire Oriental com
merce of the Pacific coast. He hoped
so to alarm the president that he will
actively take up the cause of the sub
sidy advocates and compel the speaker
and house leaders to let this bill pass.
Mr.. Humphrey said the Japanese
already have an option on six ships OF
the Pacific Mail, and can buy them, if
the subsidy bill is defeated. He also
said the Japanese are trying to get the
Hill ships on Puget sound. He went
on to say that there is British French
German shipping trust that now fixes
rates between Pacific coast ports and
Liverpool, having recently doubled the
rate on wheat. Unless the subsidy law
is enacted, Mr.. Humphrey says Pacific
coast exporters shipping to Liverpool
will remain at the mercy of this trust.

DisaS Fire in Portland Chamber of
Commerce Building.
One Man Falls to Death and MANY
Thrilling Reucues Take Place
Dense Smoke and Flames Make
Re scue Work Difficult - Property
Loss Heavy.

Portland, April 7. - Flames that
sprang up as from magician's wand
swept the upper part Of the Chamber Of
Commerce block at 2:3O o'clock yester-
day afternoon, wrecking the CONNER
cial club and imperiling scores of lives.
With the swirling, fearful epeed OF
whirlwind, great red sheets of fire and
dense volumes OF smoke passed from
room to room as If in fendish hunt
for human life. Dozens OF people,
caught unawares, scurried before the
deadly blast with death at their heels.
The one to forfeit his life was Homer
II. Hallock, an employe of the william
ette Valley Traction company. With
smoke and flame close behind him, Mr..
Hallock attempted to climb from a
Commercial club window to a fire es-
cape leading down the interior court of
the building. The fire escape was six
feet away. 1t was desperate UNDER
taking, and the unfortunate man failed.
His body plunged down seven stories to
a skylight on the second floor. He was
killed instantly.
The fire department was quickly on
the scene, nearly every piece of fire ap-
paratus in Portland being brought into
service. The firemen performed cour-
ageous and effective service. While
part OF the force busitd itself laying
hose and directing streams of water,
others were at the equally dangerous
task of rescuing those whose retreat
had been cut off in the upper stories.
Tne extension ladder fell 80 feet
short of the imprisoned men, and seal
ing ladders were used to reach the six
men imprisoned on the eighth floor.
Tom Richardson, manager OF the Com
merclal club, was among this number,
and when the iremen reached him it
looked as though neither would yet
1own alive. Some SO persons who were
n the upper stories reached safety by
he fire escapes.
The damage to the Chamber of Com
nerce building will reach 100000
ully insured, and the Commercial club
40, 900. with $4,000 insurance. The
'ersonal losses to occupants of the
such as lawyers and physici-
ms, is not known, but it is estimated
hey will reach several thousand dol
ars.

TRADE WITH ISLAND OF CUBA.
Imports and Exports for 1905 Far
Exceed Any Previous Year.

Imports and Exports for 1905 Far
Exceed Any Previous Year.
Washington, April 10.-A report is-
sued by the department of Commerce
and Labor on the Cuban trade says:
Cuba ranks second in Importance in
the trade relations of the United States
with other American countries. The
total trade of the United States with
the principal countries OF America in
the calendar year of 1905 was: Can
ada, 1903, 200, 900; Cuba, 1925, ,0OO,-
900; Brazil, $1l1 100000; Mexico,
$s2, 900, 900, Argentina, $ss, 100000.
The value of merchandise imported in
to the United States from Cuba in the
calendar year 1905, according to figures
prepared by the department of Com
merce and Labor, was sos S57 ,856,
against $57, ,22s, ,229l in 1908, $S1, ,747,-
229 in 1900 and SIG, 23S, ,456 in 1897,
in which year our imports from Cuba
touched the lowest point in the last
half century. The exports from the
United States to Cuba aggregated $44,-
569,S12, against $23, ,5O4, Az in 1903,
$26, 934 ,524 in 1900 and $7,296,613 in
1896, in which year they were smaller
than in any preceding year in the last
half century. In both imports and ex.
ports the figures of the year 1905 are
larger than those of any earlier year in
our trade with Cuba.
Sugar and molasses, tobacco, cigars
and fruits are the principal articles
forming the imports into the United
States from Cuba. The value of sugar J
imports in 1905 was over $72, 600, 900;

Hone TO Borrow $75O,OOO,OOO.

St. Petersburg. April 9.-The Reich
today says Russia hopes to get $780,
OOO, 900 from the loan the government
is now negotiating. and the government
has offered exceptional terms to the
bankers in order to conclude the nego-
tiations before the Russian parliament
assemblies. The Radicals generally be-
lieve that if the government succeeds
in filling the war chest with such an
enormous sum, it will be in position
to snap it's fingers at parliament. Only
by keeping the government in dire straits
do they believe reform will be forced.

Boston, April l0.-Robert g. Proct-
or, private secretary of United States
Senator Lodge, for whose arrest, on the
charge of embezzlement warrant was
issued yesterday, surrendered himself
at police headquarters today. He was
released on $500 bail. The specific
charge is that Proctor embezzled 1925
belonging to John f. Bestgen, of @ lin
cy, in October, 1904. Bestgen alleged

Republican campaign contribution, and
that Proctor promised to aid him in
obtaining a consulship.
