DIFFERENCES
.Washington and Oregon
Fishing Industries.
JOINT MEETING AT TACOMA
Bleasurss of m Coimuon Intareit to Be
Recommended to the Two Legisla
tures for Enactment.
i Ait' unanimous agreement has been
reached by the joint legislative coin
inittees of Oregon and Washington
touoliing fishing industries of mutual
interest to both states. They formu
lated resolutions making such recom
mendations as will, it is thought, ob
viate differences between the two states
arising from conflicting laws.
Among the : points of agreement
reached may be mentioned the follow
ing: Changes relative to the close season
for salmon-fishing on the Columbia
river; the Sunday close law is to be
done away with; the Washington law
is to be made to conform with the Ore
gon law regulating the fall salmon close
season; the gill-net license is to be left
at $2:50, with the addition of an indi
vidual license fee of $ 1 each for all
fishermen, as at present provided for in
the Oregon law; the eet-net license
fee is to be raised in both states from
$1 to $2.50; conouirent laws relative to
sturgeon lines on the Columbia river
are to be enacted; the appointment of
a joint commission to establish the
proper boundary lines is to be asked.
The agreements were reached at Ta
coma Saturday. The Oregon commis
sion consisted of Fish Commissioner
McG uire, Senators Reed and Daly, and
Representatives Myers, Curtis and Far
rell. That of Washington comprised
Fish Commissioner Little, Senators
Megler and MoReavy, and Representa
tives ColweU, Sims and Daniels,
It was concluded to recommend the
close-season proposition should begin
at noon. March 1, and olose at noon,
April 15. It was recommended to
make the Washington fall season con
current with that of Oregon from
August 10 to September 10.
No settlement was 'arrived at on the
boundary-line question. Both states
will probably appoint two citizens
each, who will select an engineer, con
eider the matter, and Bubinit drawings
and profiles at the net biennial session
in each state.
American-Canadian Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 1. Prospects for
an agreement between the British and
American joint high commission on
questions affecting Canada and the
United States have greatly improved
within the last week, and it is ex
pxected now that a complete agreement
on all points will be reached early in
February.
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in the way of the commission.
The prinoipal point of friction was in
regard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law Canadians
demanded concessions on this that the
American commissioners were not at
first willing to make.
This question has not yet been set
tled, but it is understood that both
sides are more conciliatory, each being
anxious that the entire negotiations
should not fail on account of one point
ct agreement.
New Railroad to the Yukon.
New York, Feb 1. A dispatch to
the Heiald from Washington says:
Several Iowa men have asked congiess
to grant a subsidy of $16,000 a mile
for a railway and telegraph line to the
Klondike. Representative Curtis, of
Iowa, introduced a bill in the house
Saturday to carry out the wishes of the
syndicate.
The6e men have organized the Cop
per River & Yukon Railroad Company,
and they ask congress to grant them
rights to incorporate for 60 years, to
give them right of way for a railroad
and telegraph line from Valdes inlet.
This company is to be capitalized at
30,000,000. It is to have the right to
bond and mortgage the line at not to
exceed $30,000 per mile, but this mort
gage is to be subsequent to the claim
of the United States for the $16,000
pei mile advanced by the government.
Cruelty to Spanish Prisoners.
New York, Feb. 1. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The
Spanish civil prisoners have not yet
been released. Tales of suffering,
hunger and dishonor come from the
provinces. Young Spanish girls are
forced to live in open with low born
natives. Their parents, being power
lees, appealed to Aguinaldo. His reply
was a letter from a dishonored child
exacted after God knows what suffer
ing saying she is happy and' content
d. Ladies have suffered dishonor to
save their husbands from cruel treat
ment. Five priests have died in one
province from hunger and cruelty, al
though $80,003 had been sent by the
corporation for their maintenance. Ap
peal has been made to the American
nation, in the name of God, to stop the
tragedy. .
Washington, Feb. 1. The record of
e conrt-martial in the case oi ftagan

Mm. Stanford Want! No Far
San Francisco. Feb. 1. A review of
the work of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, as
executrix of the estate of the late Le
land Stanford, shows that she handled
property valued at $24,869,245. The
fees and percentages to which she was
legally entitled amounted to $357,768.
but she waived all claims for her serv
ices. She paid her attorneys $00,000
for their services and allowed them
$7,000 for expenses. Her action Is
commended.
GOMEZ' LATEST DEMAND.
He A.k,
8300,000,000 a, il,- t..i.
Disbanding the Arinv.
of
I New York, Feb. 2.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington savs: Maxi
mo Gomez, the Cuban general, has de
manded nearly $60,000,000 from the
United States and refuses to disband
bis army" until the money is paid.
He has repudiated the arrangements
made by Calixto Garcia, who came to
Washington with . authority from
Gomez to provide for the return of the
Cubans to their peaceful pursuits, and
whose work was , barely accomplished
beore his sudden death of December U.
It was then agreed that the United
States in order to secure the prompt
resumption of labor on the plantations
of the island with a view of promoting
the speedy revival of prosperity and
settled conditions, should distribute
about $3,000,000 among the 80,000
men said to be still under amis in the
ratio of $100 a man, the officers iu pro
portion to their rank to receive a great
er amount, the ordinary enlisted men
to be discharged with sums less than
$100, depending upon the length of
service and other considerations. For
over a month the pay corps of the army
has been making ready to carry out
this arrangement, the national defense
fund being available foi the purpose.
Gomez has come out against the
scheme, which was operating satisfac
torily to most Cubans, and has Btruck
for greater stakes. He alleges that his
army consists of 40,000 men, and lie
insists that most of them ehall be paid
for three years' service at the rates that
prevailed in the United States army.
He fixes the date of the Cuban declara
tion of independence February 24, 1895,
as the beginning of the period for
which liimself and his forces are to be
remunerated, and for himBelf, with the
rank of lieutenant-general, he will be
satisfied with $11,000 annually, the
American rate for that grade
Gomez has also about 20 major-generals,
for each of whom he wants
$7,500 annually, and his "army" is
equipped with nearly 20 brigadier-generals,
each rated, according to the
United States army pay table, at
f 5,600 annually. This a-gregates the
nice little sum of $3,783,000 for gen
erals alone.
BISHOP OF HAVANA PROTESTS.
Protestant Services Must Not Be Held
In Columbus Cemetery.
New York, Feb. 2. A Havana spe
cial to the Tribune says: Bishop San
tander has declared that the Protestant
service cannot be held over the graves
of the Maine viotims in Columbus
cemetery. Committees of Americans
were preparing to decorate the graves
on the anniversary of the explosion,
and desired prayers by Protestant sidered it certain that among more than
clergymen. The bishop says that the 80 judges they could rely upon an anti
cemetery is consecrated ground and .TJreyf us majority.
Protestant
permitted
services could no
more be
Catholic
there than in a
ohnroh.
The bishop is also preparing a pro
test to General Brooke against the ac
tion of the municipal councils in Trini
dad, Colon, Matanzas and other towns,
in declaring cemeteiies free. He says
that cemeteries are ohnroh property,
and that to take possession of them is
both desecration and confiscation.
The Havana council is likely to take
similar action. Fees required for
burials and similar abuses were one of
the strongest grievances of the Cubans
against Spanish rule. The agitation is
going to have all cemeteries declared
free.

Native Troops to lie t'tlllzcd.
Washington, Feb. 2. Dr. O'Reilly',
suggestion that native troops be utilized
to the greatest extent possible is fav
ored by the medical officers in Wash

Contract or Cuban Railroads.

Polities When Commission Returns

Havana, Jan. 81. Four thousand
peisons, men in their best clothing and
women gaily dressed, stood amid a
pouring rain in Paula square today
listening to six intensely patriotic
eulogies of Jose Marti, the Cuban pa
triot and first president of the Cuban
revolutionary government. A . tablet
to his meisjory was nnveiled at the
house where he was born in a street
near by, and 88 societies, consisting ol
2.500 persons, with banners, flags and
five bands, marched through the prin
cipal thoroughfares to the square.
The piocession. whose distinguishing
feature was 500 girls wearing white
dresses and red liberty oaps, started at
1 o'clock, reaching the square two
hours later. The streets were gaily
decorated with Cuban and American
flags, and though 'the interest ran high,
there was no disorder of any kind.
Marti's widow, mother and son, led
the parade, with th first Cuban flag
used by the patriot, which was loudly
obeered.
This promises to be a lively week in
Cuban politics. The speoial commis
sion from the Cuban military assembly
will- return to Havana, after its inter
views with the Washington govern
ment, and popular interest is increas
ing in the preparations for the mass
meeting February 6 at the Tacon thea

men as Senor Giberga, a noted autono
mist; General Leyte Vidal, General
Lacret, Senor Fontsterling and other
opponents of annexation.

Washington, Jan. 81. The house to
day continued the consideration of the
army reorganization bill until 3
o'clock, when the members paid their

resentative Simpkins, of Massachu
setts. Little pi ogress was made with
the army bill, the only amendment
adopted being that to give veterinar
ians in cavalry regiments the rank,
pay and allowance of second lieuten
ants. The time before the eulogies be
gan was chiefly devoted to a continua
tion of the debate on the advisability
of retaining the Philippines.

priation bill, carrying $1,600,000, was I
passed by the senate.
The salaries of secretaries of legation

the surgeon-general of the army to
furnish information as to the percent
age of our soldiers in the Philippines
who are sick and have been sick, and
the number of deaths in our army by
reason of the sickness caused by the
climate. Mason prefaced the resolu
tion with the statement that reports
had been received that "of late years
as high as 60 per cent of the soldiers
unaccustomed to the climate (of the
Philippines) have died by reason of the
said climate."
EAGAN GUILTY AS CHARGED.
The
Necessary Penalty Is Dismissal
From the Army.
Washington, Jan. 81. General Ea
gan, commissary-general of subsist
ence, has been found guilty of the
charges of conduct unbecoming an offi
cer and a gentleman, and of conduct to
the prejudice of good order and disci
pline, and of the specifications thereto,
and has been sentenced to dismissal
from the United States army; bnt with
a recommendation from the court for
the exercise of executive clemency.
Under the regulations, the court, hav
ing reached the conclusion that the ac
cused was guilty, had no choioe in
selecting a penalty, the regulations
prescribing absolutely that one punsiBh
ment dismissal for the offense.
Therefore, the only hope for General
Eagan is in the direction of communta
tion, mitigation or disapproval by the
president.
Payment of the Cuban Army.
Havana, Jan. 81. Senor Fiedrioo
Mora, the civil governor of Havana, in

of the payment of the Cuban aimy was
of much greater importance than the

ize. He s.iid of the Cubans were to
collect the customi of the islands,
which are their property, their first ac
tion would be to meet Cuba's sacred
obligation to the army by payment in
full to the soldiers. The customs ad
ministration being in the hands of the
Americans, the Cubans make a simple
business proposition to the United
States government' that it shall ad
vance money to pay the troops, hold
ing the customs as security.
