THE LABOR PROBLEM IN CUBA.

The large cane crop now growing in Cuba
and the comparative scarcity of field labor
there are exciting some fears as to the pos
sibility of successfully harvesting in due
season the cane crop now III sight. The
great expansion in cune culture in the new
lands along the northeastern end of the island
of Cubn, and in fact the expansion of the
culture all over the island, have created an
active demand for ordinary labor that is only
supplied with considerable difficulty. This
is leading to a very considerable increase iu
the cost OF sugar manufacture and has led
to the enactment Of severe immigration laws,
which stipulate that Is per cent of the peo-
pie employed by the great companies must
be natives of the island. The planters, in
attempting to remedy this, are seeking ia
miles to whom they will furnish lands and
the necessary equipment for the culture of
the lands. The compensation to the land
lords ia this case would come by their con
troll OF the cane harvest and delivery to
their factories. In this way the immigrants
would be considered as farm labourers and
not as factory workers, and thus are brought
from under the purview Of the 75-per-cent
law.-TOiG.

SOUTH POLE DISCOVERER.

The basket of the balloon did not touch

short time. The two occupants had agreed
that in the moment of extremity one of the9

another opportunity of being picked up. Mr..
Nolan wrote on the back of a map a farewell
message to his wife and child, in which he
said, 1--WE don't know how near to death we

them stand taxation for revenue pur-
poses only The articles transferred

INJUNCTION GRANTED AGAINST
CENTRAL FUEL COMPANY IN
NOTED CASE.
REMANDED FOR RE- HEARING
Based Alleged Agreement Whereby
Texas Was to Receive Cenirais
Output for Ten Years.
(By W. III. Pcck.)

The United States circuit court
of appeals in st. Louis yesterday gave
decision reversing the federal circuit
court of Oklahoma and enjoining the
Central Fuel company of Oklahoma
from selling its products to any other
company than the Texas company.
The Central Fuel company, which
operates many wells in the Bartles-
vile district and the Usage reserva-
ton, and the Texas company, made a
contract, by which the latter was to
refine and transport all oil produced
by the Central Fuel company The
terms Of the contract provided among
other things that the Central Fuel
company was TO pay the Texas com
pany the sum of $4,000 per month
as pipeage charge and II soon de-
veloped that this rate. while reason
able and printable one to all con
cerned. had there been so much as
15 900 barrels per day of oil trans
ported with only about 5000 barrels
to be handled, the charge per barrel
was necessarily trebeled and the Cen
tral Fuel company soon felt the nec-
essty of Withdrawing from its con-
tract.
Judge Campbell took the ground
that inasmuch as the contract was all
in favor of the Texas company, II
was null and void. and refused to
grant the Texas company an injunc-
ton, even requiring the latter com
pany to pay into court large sum OF
money about S13S,000. before he
would allow the appeal. 1t is This rul-
ing of Judge Campbells that Is now
reversed and remanded for a new
hearing and It will now be tried on
its merits. but probably before some
Judge other than Judge Campbell. but
still in oklahoma.
Since Judge Campbelrs decision the
oil from the Central Fuel company's
wells has been run by the Prairie
oil and Gas company and the arrange
ment has been satisfactory to all con-
cerned as the price paid for okla
homa oil has steadily advanced until
now IT is selling at 60 cents. whereas
at the time the contract was made AZ
cents was the prevailing price. But
not so much Is the advancing price
responsible for the favor with which
the Indians look upon the new ar
rangement with the Prairie oil and
Gas company because the Texas COM
pany also agreed to follow all ad-
vances the market might make. but
because Of the fact that unless the
Central Fuel company could show a
profit far in excess than made posi-
bic by the market quotations the In
dams had rather get the market price
only than to he drawn into a contract
