KAISER NAY VISIT ITALY
SAID to Hope to Improve Relations
Bet7reen Porers in Triple alliance.

Rome Oct. 27.-It is believed in diplomatic
circles here that Emperor William is planning
a visit to Italy and that it will probably take
place on the occasion of the unveiling of the
bust of Wagner which he is presenting 10 the
City of Venice It is asserted that the visit of
the German Foreign Secretary. Herr Won
Tschirsky, TO Rome intended improve
the relations between the powers forming the
Triple Alliance and that with the same object
in view the German Emperor is anxious to
strengthen his personal relations with King
Victor Emmanuel
These relat We're somewhat weakened after
the formers last visit TO Rome, and the German
attitude at the Ageciras conference did not
tend 10 improve them.

CUBA FACES DEFICIT.
REPORT OF MAJOR LADD.
Entire Surplus of Insular GoUern-
ment May Be Wiped Ont.

Havana Oct 27-Major Ladd. Supervisor OF
the Treasury, to-day submitted to Governor
Magoon a report showing the condition OF the
Treasury and its relative ability to meet the
current and extraordinary expenses OF the re-
public for the current year. and also to carry
on the numerous projects imposed by the resu-
lar budget and special appropriation acts A
summary of the report follows;
Balance required to meet the regular budget
S17,5O0,O00.
Estimate of balance required to meet war ex-
penSeS, 81 OUOOOH
Estimate necessary to meet the increase In
the rural guard the military occupation da 0anase

onhs of the sefe5Ie soai vear aTr
Total assets, S27.OOO,OOO.
This leaves deficit of $4,000 OOO provided all
outstanding obligations are met during the year.
The estimate of revenues for the nine remain
ing months of the fiscal year. Sl6,0OO,OOO. is
based on the supposition that conditions result
ing from the revolution will necessarily curta1l
credit and decrease importatons. and that the
damage done by the hurricane to the crops
also will operate to the end. 1t is not be-
lieved that the monthly revenues will greatly
exceed 81. 100000 The report also says:
From the above statement it will be seen that
the deficit for the year probably will wipe out
the entire surplus of s6,536,S79 hand at the
beginning of the fiscal year and perhaps leave
the republic in debt.
In conclusion, the report says:
OF the ss0oO0OO special appropriations out
standing. many projects have not been begun
and can be cancelled without detriment and
many others be greatly reduced. also an
ticipate material saving in the regular budget,
which exceeds the former budget by nearly
81 ,000, ,000 Allowance has been made for q fall
ing off in revenue due to the and the hurri-
cane, but the restoration of confidence may in
crease the revenue beyond the estimate. and l
believe that conditions bad as they may appear
from superficial examination. can be met without
serious harm to the industries of the country
or the credit of the republic.

OBDURATE MR.. CROMWELL
Still Worries Senator Morgan in Hear
ing Before COmmIttee--Senator
Taliaferro Intervenes.

A washington dispatch says: The
letter from William Nelson Cromwell
to the late Secretary Hay, dated in
1898, was taken up Friday by Senator
Morgan in the examination of Mr..
Cromwell before the senate commit
tee investigating canal affairs.
The period covered by the letter
was when the Panama Canal company
was seeking a prolongation of it's con-
cessions in the isthmus. The letter
referred to an enclosure and Crom-
we'll repeatedly declined to state the
nature Of the Enclosure or to discuss
the correspondence in any manner
Extraordinary political conditions in
Bogoto were referred to in a letter,
and Morgan asked concerning this ref
erence and when the witness declined
to discuss, the senator asked whether
the witness felt that he was obliged
to conceal any actions that were
against the interests OF the United
States.
Il refuse to answer such hypothet-
ical and impertinent questions" said
Mr.. Cromwell.
Il am compelled by the attitude Of
this committee to accept your IN
usual and indecent replies" replied
Mr.. Morgan.
"They are no more unusual or in
decent than your questions" asserted
the witIfess.
Senator Taliaferro of Florida inter-
rurted and demanded to know where
in the question was indecent, and the
witness said the indecency was in
the assumption that he had been en-
ployed to do anything against the i'll
terestS of the United States. Mr.. Tai
iaferro then demanded that the wit
ness be instructed not to make in
sulting replies.
Chairman Millard said he thought
the character of the reply by the wit
ness was uncalled for, and Senator
Kittredge suggested that the questions
should be couched in different Ian
guage. This is not the first time l
have noticed an inclination on the
part of the witness to insult his in
terogators," said Mr.. Taliaferro.
Mr.. Morgan said he entertained no
resentment Of insults from the wit
ness; that he had too much self-ra-
spect for that. He counseIled his col
leagues not to concern themselves in
his behalf

THOUSANDS DIE
NAWFULSTORM
Which Swept Many Islands IN the
South Pacific.
DESTRUCTION ENORMOUS
Disaster Occurs on Society, Tahiti and
Adjacent Groups and Was the Most
FrightfuI Ever Recorded.

The San Francisco Evening Post
says that 10000 persons persisted
during the storm on Tahiti and ada
cent islands, several OF which, it's
account says, have disappeared. 1t
places the damage at S5,O00O00. These
reports have not been confirmed by
the officers Of the steamer Mariposa,
which brought the news of the dis
aster from Papeiti, Island OF Tahiti.
A dispatch from 1lapeiti says: The
most destructive cyclone ever expert
enced in the Society and Tuamotu
Islands occurred on February and
s. The damage in Tahiti is estimated
at S1,000,000, and presumably a similar
amount Of property was destroyed on
the Tuamotu Islands.
The city of Papeiti was inundated,
and about seventy-five buildings de-
stroyed, including the American con-
sulate and the French government
building. The shipping in the harbor
of Papefti escaped injury, owing to
the direction Of the wind, but fears
are entertained for vessels which were
cruising near the Tuamotu Islands.
aged, on the Island of Tahiti. Bread
fruit, banana, cocoanut and plantain
trees were blown down in great num-
bers, which will result in hardships
to the natives and materially affects
commerce during the next two or
three years.

gone to the Tuamotu Islands with
supplies of food and fresh water The
British consul has appealed to his
government for aid for 500 British sub
jects. Some Americans have slstain-
ed heavy losses and probably there
will be a few instances of utter desti-
tuition. The Americans are hopeful Of

A washington special says: Over
Tic solid opposition Of the southern
members, The house committee on az
riculture Wednesdai struck from the

vision for purchase of seed for free

climax to u nard fight which south

rished one CT the few direct benefits
tie farmers of the country receive
from the government treasury. For
q number Of years fight has been
made against this free seed proyiso
led usually by men representing city
districts, but heretofore the agricultu-
TAI committee has always included the
item in the appropriation bill and the
opponents have been unable to strike
it out in the house. Now it has been
stricken by the committee. however,
the friends of the appropriation will
find it extremely difficult to secure its
insertion when the bill reaches the
house. This gear the department of
agriculture made the usual estimate
Of $252,O00 for the purchase Of seed

subcommittee cut this to $4,000 by
a vote of to 7. The full committee
struck it entirely.

OLD FIGHT IS RENEWED.
Northern Congressman Will Again 0p-
pose Bonus for Southern Fast
Mail Train.


Report is current that the special
appropriation or bonus offered by the
government fol the running of the
fast mail train to the south, would
lave opposition when the subject is
bought up in congress. Many north
ern republicans in congress are back
o. this opposition and while they want
to cut our the fast mail service to
the south, they want to take the money
saved in this way and make it pcs
aiDle for more fast trains to the west.
Il was also learned that some Of the
southern members of congress had
been enlisted by the opposition for
the doing away with the fast mail
train to the south, although they were
rot made aware that the money saved
iii This way would be used for the
running Of fast trains to the west.
So far as the railroads are concern
cd, officials state that while the bo-
nus for this fast service is 100000,
the railroads hardly more than pay
expenses because Of the heavy fines
which are imposed whenever this fast
train, No. 81, is late These heavy
fines. together with the great cost Of
maintaining an average speed Of %
miles and cumming at times up TO so
and more miles an hour, eats up this
100000 bonus. while as the fast mail
has the right of way Of all other
trains, regular passenger trains have
tc be sldetracked and held, and in this
way the regular schedules are inter-
fered with and the railroads lose.
But whether the railroads gain or
lose, there is no doubt about the peo-
PIE of the south winning by this fast
mail train, which has done much for
developing the business interests Of
the south, and to which the people
have oecome so accustomed that the
1)ater of withdrawing it would mean a
terrible blow ut the commercial cir
cles Of all Dixie. For New Orleans
this fast mail train means the saving
Of twentyfour hours, and for other
cities to the north of New Orleans
in ;his same proportion.
Besides this matter Of the mail,
veiy many southerners would not 9e
able to get their morning papers pub
lished in southern cities until in the
afternoon or the next day. The saw
ing of twentyfour hours in the mat
tel Of mail orders in these present
conditions means much to almost av-
cry line Of business. 1t means that
orders can BE received and sent ou1
the same cay, while with the with
d avail of the Midnight Mail" as the
train is known. would make this inn
possible, ard would in most cases
mean a delay Of two DAYS to the per-
son sending in the mail order AS It
is the rapidly with which these mail
ORDERS may be sent to business houses
ami. filled is responsible for the ire
menlons growth Of this just kind Of
business, the injury which would re-
suit III the taking off Of the fast mail
would be hard to even estimate.
