OFFERED TO GOVERNMENT.
Forty Thousand Acres Near Guanta'
namo Bav for Sale.


An offer to sell 10000 acres of land on
the ocean and near Guantanamo bay for
use in connection with the naval station
there has been made by Nine. Xavier
Rozier of Bordeaux, France. This oner
has recalled the stirring incidents attend
ing the seizure of the Virginius. as Nine.
Rozier is the daughter of Robert Mason,
British vice consul at Santiago. Cuba, at
the time of the seizure of the Virginius,
and it was he who interceded In behalf
Of both British and American citizens.
saving the lives of many Of them. during
the exciting times of 1873. The land now
offered to the government was the prop
erty of Vice Consul Mason. who died sew
eral years ago and left it to his daughter,
Mary Mason, now Nine. Rozier.
AS the government now owns between
10000 and $4,000 acres Of land at the
Guantanamo naval station, it is doubtful
whether any negotiations to acquire more
acreage there will be undertaken, es-
pecialiy in view of the fact that for sew
eral years nothing has been done to inn
prove its property there. In the last ses-
sion of Congress great hostility was
shown toward the development of a naval
station at Guantanamo, 1t being claimed
by southern senators that such develop
ment would divert work from the
Charleston S. c., and the New Orleans
navy yards.
The prefer of this property to the gov
eminent was made personally by Nine.
Rozier today, when she called to see
the Secretary of the Navy, her trip from
Bordeaux to this city being for this pur-
pose Although the daughter of British
consular officer. Mime. Rozier speaks but
little English, her mother being a Cuban
lady. No price was put upon the property
she had to offer.

NEW PLAN SUGGESTED.
Maximum Schedules to Prevail Ex-
cept When the President Directs.

President Taft was informed Of the
Senate finance committees plan for the
maximum and minimum tariff by Senator
Aldrtch prior to the latter's departure
for New York yesterday.
The difference between the minimum
and maximum rates will be 20 per cent
1t Is planned that for period of nine
months or one year the minimum rate,
which will be fixed as the protective rate.
shall apply to all the countries of the
world without distinction or discrimina-
ton. At the a d of this period the maxi
mum rates al q matically will go into eff
feet against countries which. in the
opinion of the executive, not giving
to the United States their most favored
nation clauses. In other words, it will re-
quire affirmative action by the President.
after thorough inquiry. to give to any
nation the benefit of the minimum Amer
lean rate. If, in the general inquiry
which will be made during the period
which might be termed probationary
the President finds that certain nations
are discriminating against the United
States, he will merely refrain from issu-
ing proclamation regarding these coun-
tries and the maximum rate henceforth
will apply to them.

LEFT PART OF CASH IN LETTERS
Star Route Carrier Nabbed for AL
legged Thefts From Mail.

OAKLAND. Md, April 3.-Post Office
Inspector Edward I. Allen placed under
arrest William c. Lieb, aged twenty
years, star route carrier who piled
between BTuceton Mills, Preston county.
w. Va, not far from Oakland, Md, a
distance of twenty miles over the
mountains to Fairchance. The thefts
had become SO numerous that people
along the route were abandoning the
mails altogether as a means Of trans
hitting money or other valuables. At
first defiant, Mr. Leib confessed to the
opening of decoy letter and admitted
that he had been robbing the mails
for months.
1t was discovered that in lonely hut
in the mountains. along his route, Leib
had full outfit, consisting of scis-
sors, musilage, ETC., and it is believed
that he opened every registered let
ter and package that he carried. The
authorities believe he secured hundreds
of dollars.
He never tpk all the money, but left
a portion Of Vhe sum in an envelope. He
refused to tell where he obtained the
key which opened the pouches. He was
held for the federal grand jury.

WANTS STATES TO REFUND.
Representative Murdock's Bill Call.
for Money! Distributed in 1885.

Representative Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas has introduced a bill calling upon
the states to refund the money that An
drew Jackson distributed among them
in 1886. when the surplus from the sale
of public lands reached $3S.OOOOOO.
Up in the Treasury are the written
promises of twenty-siX states to pay
back, when directed to do so. the money
that they procured from the federal gov
eminent" explained Mr.. Murdoch. Prob
ably three, certainly New York. and pos
sibly Delaware and New Jersey. have
kept intact the money deposited with
them. The other states have spent the
money. 1 am told that the state of New
York loans out the 100000 which 1t
obtained and enjoys the benefit of the
interest. In these times, when the fed
eral government is needing the money !
believe that New York should repay that
amount. 1t is necessary for Congress
to make the demand for the money"
