America Getting Worsted by Present Agreemert With Cuba. Washington, April 9. Acting under instructions from the State department, Edwin Morgan, minister at Havana, has been in conference with the Cuban Foreign office, with the purpose of framing a new reciprocity treaty. The treaty may be ready for submission be fore the adjournment of the the present senate session. The reason for the preparation of this new treaty is that the officials here have become convinced that America is getting by far the worst of the bargain under the preoept arrangement. While neatly all of the exports from Cuba come to our ports, only a little more than one-third of the imports into Cuba are furnished by the American farmers and merchants, Europe fur nishing practically the balance. The Cuban government did not care to make the concessions, but it was confronted with the fact that otherwise there would be no treaty at all at the expiration of the present convention, and, without the preferential rates of the treaty it would be impossible to market Cuban sugar and other staples in America at profitable rates, thus threatening ruin to Cuba. mail county Representative, Fitst district Willi C. llawley, Marion; Samuel B.

OFFER TO ARUITMAT E. Miners Willing to Let Conciliation Board Settle 1 rouble. New Yotk. April l. Having failed to come to an agreement themselves, the hard coal miner of Pennsylvania, through their representatives, today proposed to the operator that all mat ter in dispute be refened to a board id arbitration for settlement, the tribunal to bo composed of the hoard of conclli ation which whs crested by the award of the Anthracite Strike commission In ItHKI, with Judge Gray, of Delaware, or any person he may appoint, a chair man and umpire. If the operators ac cept the proposition and a convention of miueworker approve the plan, the 1(10,000 men now idle in the anthra cite field will return to work at once. While it bad been leported for several day that the miner might ask that the difference be arbitrated, the prop osition came to them a a ureal sur prise, a they did not believe the union leaders were ready to leave the contro versy to a third party at this time. That the operator will accept the miners' proposal a submitted is not generally believed ; in fact, it I inti mated they may llatly refuse tin' offer, oil the ground that existing conditions are the result of arbitration. The em ployer have decided to consider the miner pi latest move and promise to give President Mitchell and bis men an answer on Monday, when another meeting of the two suh-cnmmitleea will be held ill this city. The anthracite hoard of conciliation insist of six memUr three repre senting the operator and three the miners. This Isiard held frequent ses sion (luring tlm last three year, settling local dispute in the anthracite region. The award of the strike com mission provided that, when it could not agri-e, a Federal judge in the Third udicial district should appoint an umpire, w ho should make a decision. j uugo m-orge urav, presnieni in ilie strike commission, made the appoint incut. During the first two years I selected Carroll D. Wright, ex United States commissioner of labor, as the umpire, but during the last year Charles P. Neill, the present lalxir commissioner, acted as tbe arbiter. FURIOUS WITH FOREIGNERS. Chinese Excited by Picture of Magis trate Killed by Priest. Pekir., April (!. The Nanohang affair of February last, during which a Chi nose magistrate mot death as the remit of a depute with French Catholic mi sionarii which caused a riot and tin killing of a number of French and Brit ish missionaries, continues to inlhime the Chinese. Tbe native papers iu the north of ( hina this week print pVtutes of the magistrate' corp'e, showing his wounds, with sensational article writ ten in a style which appeals to the lower classes, exhorting the people not to forget the outrages and to prepare to defend themselves against foreign hru talitics. The belief that a French priest mur dereij the magistrate is universal and probably no other incident ever excited such widespread resentment against the missionaries. In many places the Catholic converts and the other Chinese are living on the basis of firmed neu trality, and but for the presence of the troop stationed near the missions by the government's orders, the slightest friction would result in massacre.
