Modus Vivendi Just Stoned

Bargain For Latter Country.
RIGHTS OF AMERICAN
FISHERMEN INVOLVED
Islanders Threatened To Carry
Out Foreign Fishing Act
of 1905.
A.:ocinted Pres. Cable to The Evening

A.socinted Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
London, Oct. S.-Following the lead
OF tho Newfoundland newspapers
whose opinions on the modus vivendi
have been cabled here, the evening
papers here today denounce the agree
ment as "one sided bargain" between
the United States and Great Britain.
The latter, however, it is pointed out
here, made every effort to secure the
colony,s consent to an equitable ar
rangement. Great Britain was ready
a fortnight ago to conclude the agree
ment assigned, believing it to be fair
est, but waited until the last moment
for Newfoundland to accept the set
tlement, which was considered neces-
sary in order to prevent trouble on
the fishing grounds.
AS to the threat OF Newfoundland
papers that the colony will carry out
the provisions of the foreign fishing
act Of 1905, it is pointed out that the
agreement stipulates that the act shall
not be enforced this season, and it is
not believed that the bait act can in
terfere with the fishing.
When Newfoundland objected to
purse seining, the United States pro-
posed as an alternative to allow Amer
ican boats to take on crews within
the three mile limit. but again New
foundland objected, and Great Britain,
finding it impossible to satisfy the
demands of Newfoundland, agreed to
the modus vivendi as now signed.

SIMPLIFY RATE TARIFFS.
sociated Press TO The Evening Tim...

Washington, D. c., Oct. S.-The in
terstate commerce commission today
began a hearing to construct rules for
the simplification of rate tariffs. Eight
propositions are involved in the con-
templated action of the commission,
and they include the filing of joint
tariffs by the initial line: the print
ing of the schedules of each initial
line as an independent document; the
filing with the commission by par
ticipating lines OF general authority
to the initial line in their behalf of
all tariffs or all joint tariffs of a
special kind; the separation of class
and commodity rates: the filing of a
detailed index showing all commodity
rates in effect so that each commodity
can be easily located; limiting any
tariff to five supplements and any
classification to ten supplements, the
entire classification or tariff to be re-
printed where there is any excess;
the observance of uniform order
in the compilation of rates; the pro-
per specification in the tariff of the
initial line of all terminal charges:
the absorption of switching or termin-
al charges where it affects the total
cost to the shipper shall be stated
upon the tariff.

BY e. c. Snyder.

Washington, D. c., Oct. S.-Two
great camps are In process of forma-
tion over present conditions in Cuba.
One camp, represented by the presi-
dent and his political advisors are
in favor Of giving the Cubans another
trial to govern themselves. The other
camp, represented by almost as pow
erful combination is persistent in
maintaining that now is the time to
take over the island and forever re-
move the intricate problems of state
craft which must necessarily grow out
of the continued position of Cuba as a
republic. Throughout all the difficult
ties leading up to American interven-
tiOn and the declaration of Secretary
Taft that intervention was but tenn
porary pending an agreement amongst
the several political factions in Cuba
to get together on some common basis
President Roosevelt has maintained
his position that Intervention was only
temporary. That under the Platt
amendment the American nation had
no other alternative than to intervene
pending permanent peace between
contending interests in the island.
But on the other hand Senator Elk
ins, Senator Beveridge and other lead
ing statesmen are openly asserting
that the temporary Intervention on the
part of the United States will become
permanent and that it is the duty of
the American government to aid in
hoisting the stars and stripes over the
island and to keep old glory flying in
the breeze.
No one doubts here the presidents

Dowell was shot through the right

the result of a long standing quarrel

CONFERENCE OF pREMIERs.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Ottawa, Oct. S.-.Much interest at
taches to the conference begun here
today by the provincial premiers and
representatives Of the federal govern
ment. The conference is holding it's
sittings in the railway committee room
of the senate, where the representa-
tives of the several provinces were
. formally greeted at the opening today
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on behalf of
the dominion.
While the invitation to the confer
ence mentions only Encouragement or
the provincial subsidies as a matter
for discussion, there is nothing to
prevent other subjects from being
brought forward. There is considera-
BILE speculation as to what will be in
cluded in the list of other questions
to be considered. Among those most
likely to receive attention is the Ques-
ton of agreeing to making no further
reductions in the representation of
Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick. Then there is
the question of apportioning the sec
tion of the Northwest Territory about
Hudson and James bays. between On
tario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan so
as to give each of these provinces ac-
cess to salt water
There is also the question of juris-
diction Of the fisheries and the action
of Prince Edward Island and Quebec
in taxing commercial travellers from
other provinces and countries. The
preservation Of Niagara Falls and the
regulation by the Province of On
tario of companies incorporated and
given authority by the dominion to
do business throughout Canada are
two other matters which are likely to
be discussed.

that Intervention on tn epart of the

q better understanding of popular gov

pies very much the self-sane relation

however, this one advantage over
Cuba. that there are six thousand
Americans employed on the Panama
canal and live in the canal zone. which
politicians regard as a decided help
towards studying the Panamanian re-
public. While it is true Governor
Magoon was sent as special commits

osition that the Panamanian is begin
ming to realize the difference between
Latin politics and those of the United
States and he is striving with all his
power to reach higher standard of
government than is usually associated
with Latin-American countries.
From a thoroughly reliable source
your correspondent learned that i'm
mediately after the crisis was reached
in Cuba the president had in mind
Governor Charles E. Magoon as pro-
visional governor of the island to sue
coed Secretary Taft whose presence in
Washington is greatly needed. In this
the president had the warm and earn
est support Of Secretary Root, who
while a steadfast friend of Governor
Magcon recognized in the Nebraskan
the essential qualities needed in bring
ing the Cuban people to more perfect
understanding of the American both
officially and socially. Governor Ma
goon came from Panama with the un-
derstanding that he was destined to
the Philippines as vice governor of
those islands. Rumor, however, had
preceded the arrival of Governor Ma
goon in Washington that he was to be
thrown into the Cuban breach there
to remain as provisional governor un-
til another election for president
could be had. But when Governor
Magoon had his first talk with the
president in conjunction with Secre-
tary Root, the chief executive and his
secretary of state agreed that Secre-
tary Taft had gone too far in his prom
ises to make Beekman Winthrop. pres
ent governor of Porto Rico, provisional
governor of Cuba, and that the pro-
gram as originally made up for Gov
ernor Magoon should go on.
During Wednesday, however, there
was considerable cable cOmmunica-
tions between the White House and
the palace in Havana over successor
to Secretary Taft, who after ascer-
tanning what the impressions of the
president and Secretary Root were,
agreed that Governor Magoon was the
right man for the place and that Gov

Havana. Oct. S.-Reports re-
ceived by the provisional government
show that the pacification of Cuba is
practically complete, with the excep-
tion of the province of Santa Clara,
where matters are rapidly nearing
settlement. The only trouble now
know to exsist is at Alquizar, province
OF Havana, where the liberals and
moderates are about equally divided
and irritation has been caused by the
reinstatement of the liberal mayor.
The disquieting condition at Alquizar,
however, has been caused by the exu-
berance Of the more reckless OF the
disbanded insurgents, and it is believed
that thirty rural guards there will be
able to keep peace. The disturbance
at Guines was suppressed last night.
The lisorderly former insurgents left
town and the marines sent there report
that the liberals celebration Of their
victory passed off without any further
disorder. None of the men cut with
