WOULD HAVE DISTRICT
MAKE ITS OWN LAWS
representative Sims Argues in Favor
of Local Self-Gov-
eminent.

Representative Sims made a speech in
the House this afternoon favoring the
repeal Of the organic act of 1878. which
provides the present form Of government
of the District of Columbia. He was
speaking on the Olcott bill which pro-
vides a regular form of legislation for
the opening of streets and stipulates
that the excess Of damages over benefits
IN such matters shall be born equally
by the United States and the District
OF Columbia. Mr.. Sims gave notice that
he would offer an amendment providing
IN = the excess should be paid etnrely
by The District.
I'VE are told he said, that such
prov sion would repeal a part of the
organic act of 1873 For my part am
now ready and willing to fepeal the
organic act. 1t cannot last forever
have no objection to the national gov
ern nent bearing a reasonable share of
the expenses of the District goevrn-
ment, but what interest has the na-
tional government in the general en-
largement and extension of the city Of
washington"
Mr. Sims then asserted that he
thought the present form of governn ent
OF the District should be changed

MONEY ABSORBING
FACTOR ON MARKET
Dealings Mostly Profess
siOnal and DesnltOry.
BONDS PROVE IRREGULAR
Trading Element Disposed to Buy on
Small Scale in Hope of
Relief
BONDS PROVE IRREGULAR

NEW YORK, April 9.-Money has been
the all absorbing factor of interest in
the stock market today. Money opened
at % pr cent There is a comparatively
large supply offered now at 22 per cent.
but with any calling Of loans between
now and I o'clock it would be easy 10
exhaust this supply.
The trading element was disposed to
buv stocks on a small scale on a belief
that relief must come from some source
as an increase in the supply of funds
is an imperative necessity. Gossip in the
board was mixed. One important house
said that the selling this morning was
more significant and important than at
auy time in the last week and thought
some strong interests were trying to re-
ducc their holdings.
There was very little commission busi-
ness
Government bonds were unchanged;
others. irregular.
London houses were buyers TO the ex-
tent OF probably 5000 shares. Dealings
have been quite professional and desul-

MORGAN WANTS ISLAND
TREATY INVESTIGATED

Senator Morgan will probably call
up the latter part of shis week hts
resolution for the appointment Of a
special committee Of the Senate TO in
vestigate conditions N the Isle of Pines
and the relations Of that island 10 the
governments OF Cuba and the United
States
Should the resolution pass the COM
mittee would perfect the investigation
during the Congressional recess.
The friends and representatives OF
American interests in the island are
confindent not only that the pending
treaty cannot be ratified, but that this
resolution will pass. and thus postpone
1urtner consideration of the treaty at
this session They are confident that
at least twenty-siX Democrats and
nine Republicans are opposed TO the
treaty. and as II has no chance of rati-
fication the proposal for an investiga-
ton viii De taken up as a means to
avoid an issue on the treaty
Senators PenrOse, La Toilette, and
Scott are among those said 10 be posi-
lively committed to oppose the treaty
while Senator Knox is quoted as having
said that he would give the Americans
in the Isle Of Pines the benefit of the
doubt. Senators Dolliver and Allison
are listed as possible opponents of the
treaty on the ground that a great num-
Der of people from their State have
extensive interests in the Isle of Pines
Considerable Importance Is attached
by opponents of the treaty to the fact
that Senator Frye, who was a member
of the past treaty commission, told the
Foreign Relations Committee that the
commission assumed that the Isle of
Pines was to become the property Of
the United States.
The subcommittee of the Foreign Re
lations Committee. OF which Senator
Foraker is chairman. has repor ted in
favor OF ratification Of the treaty,
though not unanimously.

WONDERFUL GROWTH
OF TRADE WITH CUBA
Ranks Second in Importance With the
Countries Of This
Continent.

The total trade of the United States
with the principal countries of America
in the fiscal year 1905 was: With Can
ada. soc. .OO0. 600: with Cuba S125, aOl 900;
with Brazil, $1I1 Co., 900: with NSxico,
so, 100000, and with Argentina, s59. 90 OO0
This places Cuba second at the present
time in rank in our trade relations with
the countries of America.
The value of merchandise imported
into the United States from Cuba in
the calendar year 1906, according 10 fig
ures prepared by the Department of
Commerce and Labor. through its Bureau
of Statistics. was S95 S57. $50, against $57,-
DDS. 81 in 1903. 31,747, ,229 in 1900. and
Sl6, ,233, ,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 in the calendar year 1905 were
valued at $44.569.S12, against s., ,JO4. AZ in
1903, S2e,S34.524 in 1900. ard $7.296,61S 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 form
ing the imports into the United States
from Cuba. By far the largest and most
important of these articles is sugar. Of
which the total Importation in 1906 was
valued at Sl2,649, SIS, and formed 20 per
cent of the sugar brought into the
United States from foreign countries and
As per cent of that brought in from all
parts of the world, including our own
non-contiguOus territory.
The value of sugar imported from Gu
ba has increased very rapidly, and.
while much of this increase has occurred
since the reciprocity treaty, by which
the duty on sugar imported into the
United States from Cuba is reduced 20
per cent, the growth is doubtless due
also in part 70 the great increase in
production of sugar in that island in
1904 and 1905. as compared with the
years in which production was reduced
by reason Of damage to sugar estates
during the period of hostilities which ex-
iSted in that island
