4 meeting of the city council was
held on Wednesday evening, at which
time several matters in connection
with the recent fire were discussed.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Jose Frias,
who as senator represented the prov

in Cuba, Mr. Frias said that the stock
market was peculiarly susceptible to
reports concerning the possibility OF
termination of the American rule in
Cuba.
This disturbance now may be only
the work of some malcontent negro
generals and followers who have not
been provided with places by Gov
Magoon," continued Mr.. Frias. 1T Is
a well-known policy of such persons
to boast openly that If they do not gel
such and such a job from Americans
/ they will stir up trouble.

political parties is directly responsible
for the reported trouble in Pinar de
Rio, if indeed there is trouble"

Fear Loss of commerce-Many
Evidences of Growing Power in
Middle West.

New York, Sept. 30-It is felt here
that the customary visits of President
Roosevelt to the Mississippi valley
and Secretary Root to Mexico have
greater significance than the aver
age citizen realizes. The tours OF
these distinguished men, taken to-
gether with other important events,
indicate that the star of empire
really is making it's course westward,
and that Chicago and it's great Trib-
utary territory in the middle western
states are destined soon to play
more important part in the economics
of the world.
Sub rosa there is much jealousy
In New York over the visit of the
president and his trip down the Mis-
sissippi. The large commercial ports
of the Atlantic hardly look with COM
placency upon the results that are ex-
pected from this tour of the chief ex-
ecutive. The construction of deep
waterway connecting the great lakes
with the Gulf of Mexico, for the con-
tinuous passage of freighters Of deep
draught inevitably will turn much
commerce from the Atlantic to Gulf
ports Such highway of commerce,
1t is believed here, will promote the
growth and material interests of Chi
cago wonderfully, and take from the
prestige of New York, Boston, Balti'
more and other ports.

Deep waterway advocates hardly
could have selected better time for
the president to look over the situa

Oyster Bay after the longest vacation
he ever took. He is as rudy as q
schoolboy. That he has taken 9
deep interest in the project of lake

known. That this interest will be
quickened by his trip from Keokul

somewhat In popular interest, put It's
prime Importance will not be OBJ
secured long. Upon his return to
Washington few weeks hence the
secretary of state will have person
ally visited all the great nations to
the south. Besides fostering a friend
ly political spirit he is bringing those
countries more closely together COM
mercially. This will be one OF the
results Of his trip through Mexico,
and that very fact will be an argu-
ment in favor of the construction Of
the deep waterway, according to an
unprejudiced eastern view. The
great lakes, the Mississippi and its
tributary streams will be the gate
way through which to pour the COM
MERGE of the western states into the
laps of the sister nations.
Atlantic ports are having suffi-
Gent evidence these days of the
growing Importance of the territory
of the Mississippi valley, and that
lying west of it. Instead of borrow
ing, the west is lending money. In
deed, there is scarcely doubt that
If it had not been for the sustaining
influence of the optimism and the
financial wholesomeness of the west
ern centers, the country would have
experienced one of the worst crises in
its history.

The fact that the fleet of battleships
