CUBAN TREATY
E
WHY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT OP.
P08E8 PROPOSED OOMPACT
WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
"Treaty of Commerce and Navigation
Between Cuba and Great Britain
Pending In U. 8. Senate.
Havana, Oct. 7. Owing to the de--relopment
of strong opposition to the
ten-year-treaty of commerce and navi
gation between Ouba and Great Britain
'the ratification of which Is pending In
the Senate, the Senate committee on
rforeign relations yesterday authorized
'the publication In the government or-
-gan of the text of the treaty In order
-that Its provisions may be understood.
, Since the outline of its main condi
tions the treaty has been the subject
of much orltlcism In leading news
papers here, which agree with the
-commercial bodies that Its ratification
-would be Inimical to Cuban Interests
' and this criticism has resulted In the
publication of a statement by Juan
Francisco O'Faddfll, Secretary of
'State, defending the provisions of tie
treaty in a general way. '
Article ni of the treaty prohibits ox-
port duties from one country to the
-other country other than those to any
other country
Article V prohibits greater duties on
goods Imported in British vessels than
-on those brought In Cuban ships. This
latter article apparently checks any
project for lowering the duties be.
tween the United States and Cuba on
goods carried In either Cuban or Am
erlcan vessels. The treaty aocords
favored nations treatment with re
spect to all port tonnage charges.
Article 'VIE provides that any priv
ileges granted to veeaels of a third
power In harbors or rivers be extended
Immediately and unconditionally to
either of the contracting powers.
Article VIII covers the right of war
ships and merchantmen to rent and re--supply
in cases of accident or stress of
weather.
Article X says: '
"Except as regards the duties levi
able on imports, the contracting par
ties agree that In all matters relat
ing to commerce, navigation and In
dustry any privilege in favor of im
munity of whatever kind, which either
party has actually granted or (may
grant to the citizens or subjects of
any other State shall be extended im
mediately and unconditionally to the
citizens or subjects of the other con
tracting party, it being the intention
that the commerce, navigation and In
dustry of each country shall be placed
by the other on a perfect equality with
the commerce, navigation and indus
try of the most favored nation.
It Is provided that controversies re
specting the treaty shall be submitted
to arbitrators and an umpire. The
treaty is to become applicable to Great
Britain's over-sea colonies If any of
the latter give notice of Intention to
adhere thereto within a year. The
-treaty contains twenty-two articles.
Some of the senators are strongly
In favor of ratifying the treaty as a
means of showing Cuban independence
of the United States, but it is now be
lieved tha the strong opposition of
President Roosevelt, combined with
-that of the Spanish oommerolal ele
ment, will prevent ratification.

THE EMMCNS CASE NEARING ITS
END ONLY ONE MORE WIT.
- NESS TO BE EXAMINED.
Sacramento, Oct. 7. The testimony
In the Emmons trial is at an end, with
the exception of the one witness for
the prosecution, and the arguments to
the jury will begin today. Judge Hart
has decided to hold court today, and
will call the case at an earlier hour.
Charles T. Jones, special prosecutor,
will speak first. He will be followed
by Grove L. Johnson for the defense,
and District Attorney Seymour will
close.
Two witnesses were recalled In re
buttal by the prosecution yesterday.
Detective George N. Tichenor and ex
Senator Harry Bunkers.
Tichenor was excused by Johnson
without cross-examination and Bunk
ers was called by Seymour. The con
victed man was asked about the meet
ing In the county jail after his con
viction, when Emmons, French and
Wright promised to give his destitute
wife $500. He also contradicted tae
statements of Emmons and Wrlgbt
about his early departure from the
first meeting of the Senate Commit
tee on Commissions and Retrench
ments, when the boodle campaign was
outlined. Johnson bad called Emmons
and Wright to testify that Bunkers left
to send his sick child to San Francis
co; Bunkers stated that his child was
not in Sacramento on that occasion
Again counsel for defense waived
cross-examination.
"That concludes our case, with the
exception of one witness," then an
nounced the District Attorney. "He
will not reach the city until 1:50
o'clock, therefore we ask a recess un
til 2 o'clock, and promise to take only
about fifteen minutes when court con
venes."
The request was granted by Judge
Hart and the agreement was reached
that Attorney Jones begin his argu
ment this morning.

they were not his real parents.

HOW TO SUCCEED.
When To Go to Work Take the
Whole Han to the Taak.
Only fresh, spontaneous work really
counts. If you have to drfve yourself
to your task. It you have to drag your
self to your work every morning be
cause of exhausted vitality, If you feel
fagged or worn out. If thore Is no etas
tlclty In your" step or movements, your
work will partake of your weakness.
Make It a rule to go to your work ev
ery morning fresh and vigorous. lou
cannot afford to take hold of the task
upou which your life's success rests
with the tips of your fingers. Yeu can
not afford to' bring only a fraction of
yourself to your work. Vou want to go
to It a whole man, fresh, strong and
vigorous, so that It will be spontane
ous, not forced; buoyant, not heavy.
You want to go to your work with cre
ative energy and originality possessed
of a strong, powerful Individuality. If
you go to It with Jaded faculties and a
sense of lassitude after a night's dissi
pation or loss at Bleep, It will Inevita
bly Buffer. Everything you do will
bear the Impress of weakness, and
there Is no success or satisfaction in
weakneBS.
Thta Is Just where a great many peo
ple fall In not bringing all of them
selves to their task. The man who
goes to his tusk with debilitated energy
and low vitality, with all of his stand
ards down and his Ideals lagging, with
a wavering mind and uncertain step,
will uever produce anything worth
while. SuccesB.

Flying fish are very, voracious. In
their turn they are preyed upon by
barracudas, sharks, dolphins, blllflsh,
rednsu and a hundred and one others.
Nature has colored the flying fish pro
tectively. The back Is a deep blue,
merging Into the blue of the seas, they
frequent, so that they are luvlsibre a
few feet below the surface, whtlo the
underneath Is a dazzling white, and to
a fish that looks unward must merge
Into the light falling on the sea. In ad
dition they possess the unlquo power
of flight. Plying fish are about seven
Inches long, and the spread of wings
Is about equal to their length. Tho
"wing" Is of thin, gauzy substance,
having stiffening sinews, like the fiber
of a leaf, to strengthen It.

name from Its color since it 1b clearly

A traveler In the upper Taugtso prov
inces of China found lu the towu of
HIngaufu many Chinese Mohnmme
daus who keep up communication wltlk
their fellow religionists ot Arabia. A
missionary who has lived among thcui '
for years declares that they are very
quarrelsome, much given to boasting
of their Turkestnn origin, and, in splto
of tho prophet's Injunctions, drink a
great deal of wine. TUU Is usually the
case wtth Chinese Mohummedaus. In
Hliignnfu, and more especially lu Kan
buIi, a few, of their spiritual teachers,
keep up their knowledge of Arabic and
nro occasionally visited by .Arab or .
central Asian molluhs, who follow the
old Arab trade route by way of HainiT
by which the Arabs originally traded
and propagated their faith. These niol
lahs visit every country In the east
where the followers of the prophet are
to be found and keep up lhe ties of tho
faithful with Islam. As thoy often
stir up dissatisfaction aud 'foment dis
turbances against the Chluese authori
ties, the latter regard them with hus
plclou. I

Of course wo know that swallows
drink as thoy skim ovor tho surface of
water. We have seen how hero and
there the water ripples on a pond
when swallows nro gracefully skim
ming to aud fro. One duy 1 sat down
bcslUo n small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows enmo to batho
and drink on the surface of the glassy
water. With sketch book and peucll ln,
haud I closely watched the birds, nnd
you may Imagine my delight to see just
how thoy managed to touch and dip up
tho wuter as they came within a few
steps of me. You see, tho swullow
takes up wuter In Its lower bill just as
you would dip up a little water In a
spoon or in tbo hollow of your hand
whtlo you glided over the surface tn a
boat. Only the under half of the open
bill touches the water. If the upper
half were also to touch, tho water
would be forced out on either side In
stead of being scooped up luto the bill.

A Lake That Slorca neat.
There Is a lake that stores tho sun's
heat at Medeve, lu northeastern
Transylvania. Thick beds of rock salt
underllo the district, aud a slmllnr for
mation appears upon tho surface In
mounds, somo of them over 100 feet In
height. Among these tho Inko rests
nt fully 1.&00 feet above sea level.
Upon the surfaco its water Is almost
sweet, four Inches below ..there Is a
twentieth of Bult, nt two feet there la
onc-flfth, and at live feet tho water is
practically saturated with salt. In
September, after a summer's sunshine,
the thermometer showed tho lake'Hj
waters to ho 150 degrees four feet
down. Kvon by April, after 11 wholo
season of wintry weather. It had ouly
been reduced to 80 degrees. Experi
ments have proved that this Is duo
to absorption and retention of the sun's
heat by the salt saturated solution.
