ernment officials and administration
advisors among the members of con

It is n fact not generally known that
our government entertains grave fears
regarding Avhnt may happen following
the Cuban elections m January. A
great many have believed that inter
vention by the United States will have
accomplished its purpose as soon as a
new government has been chosen by the
Cuban people : that our forces would
withdraw after inaugurating this new
government with tranquility estab
lished. That is the rosy view of the
situation, and everything would be
lovely if our high officials woro sure it
would work out just that way.
But they are not sure. President
Hoosevelt, it is understood, has grave
doubts about the effect of the coming
election on the defeated party.
If we be forced to do any moro inter
vening there will be an effort by a cer
tain element to force annexation, which
some of our ablest statesmen insist is
something that comparatively few peo
ple in this country want. The admin
istration recognizes tho embarassing
situation that may confront it and, after
President Roosevelt's warning to Cu
bans to "be good" in the future or take
tho consequences, the question is just
what course shall be pursued if the
Cubans don't stay good.

of the owner of the stock, and then

Chicago, Dec. 28. Statistics com
piled by tho representatives of the
United Typothetae of America and tho
American Weekly Publishers' associa
tion, organizations which are vigor
ously fighting the movement to increase
the postage for second-class mail mat
ter, shew that the government is pay
ing tho railways three times as much
on the average for the transportation of
mail matter as the express companies
pay the lailroads for like service. j
On the basis of the postmaster gen
eral's statistics, the publishers assert
that the government during the fiscal
year ended Juno 30, 1907, will pay the
roads almost $23,000,000 moro than
the express companies would pay them
for haulinc the same tonnage. The
printers and publishers compile the
statistics to show that tho government,
for the purpose of reducing the annual
poatoffice deficit, rather should reduce
its outlay for the transportation than
no , increase the rate for second-class mat
ter.
"One of the chief needs of the gov
ernment is an expert traffic manager,"
said W. D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher.
"It then would get as good rates as the

Washington, Dec. 29. United States
Requirement as to Registration Makos
It Impractical for Farmers
to Havo Stills.
Washington, Dec. 27. For several
years past thero has been a very active
movement in favor of tho passage of a
frco alcohol law, which resulted last
session in tho enactment of a law re
moving tho internal revenue tax on al
cohol to bo used for commercial pur
poses. Tho demand for legislation of
this charvactor camo principally from
farming communities, and was based
upon the theorv that if the tax were
romoved farmers would be able to man
utacturo from their surplus grain, veg
etables and fruit sufficient alcohol to
supply themselves with power, heat
and light.
Congress responded readily to the
demand, and when tho law known us
tho free ulcohol law was approved, tho
general impression was that tho United
States had entered upon a policy sum
lar to that which is in voguo In leading
European nations, and that the fanneis
of tho country would reap a great ad
vantage. It has transpired, howover,
that these advantages are not so wide
spread as was at first supposed. A
close examination of tho law shows
that each distillery must bo supplied
with a distillery warehouse, from
which tho alcohol may bo withdrawn
and deposited in a bonded warohouso,
whero by a rather tedious process it is
denatunzed and then relieved from tax,
This would, of course, oxcludo what are
known in Germany as agricultural and
produce stills, whero special apparatus
is very generally in use which enables
tho small producer to manufacture al
ohol for his own use.
In order to carry out tho original in
tention of tho law as understood
throughout tho country, Senator Hans
brough, oi xsorth Dakota introduced an
amendment to tho free alcohol statute
The amendment Is as follows:
.that ior tho convenience or persons
engaged in the distillation of alcohol
in quantities that would not justify
the additional expense of a distillery
warehouse or a bonded warehouse for
each establishment, and who employ
approved apparatus with sultablo al
cohol tanks attached, designed to bo
locked and sealed by an authorized
government officer, tho commissioner of
nternal revenue, with tho approval of
tho secretary of tho Treasury, shall,
under rules prescenbed by him, ar
range for tho proper denaturing of any
alcohol of the required proof so distill
ed, such distillation and denaturing to
be under all the terms and conditions
of this act applicable to such cases."
