President and the cowboy. C. A. C. ' CtUAX RECIPROCITY TREATY. Senators May Delay Ratification Fear Germany May Ak Cnncfiilon. WASHINGTON, Dec. .-Considerable opposition is developing to the ratification of the Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending In the Senate. It Is not taking quite the form that the opposition to the Cuban legislation took last spring, but it Is sufficient In substance to give concern to the friends of the treaty. From time to time as opportunity offers the President is discussing the matter with cenators, particularly those who are known to have objected to the enactment of legislation extending tariff concessions to the Cuban republic. Several weeks ago it appeared that the treaty when presented to the Senate would be ratified without difficulty, but some senators now are taking us strong grounds against the treaty as they took against the legislation proposed at the last session of Congress. These senators are of two classes those who are opposed on principle to any "tariff tinkering" and those who represent States whose products may be affected by the concessions extended to Cuba by the pending treaty. Senators of the first class might be Induced to support the treaty. Inasmuch as It docs not Involve, in their view, an attack on the system of protection, were it not for their apprehension that the ratification of the Cuban treaty may lead to a demand from other countries that they, too, be accorded special tariff concessions by the United States. It has been Indicated to the President that in the event of the ratification of the Cuban treaty a demand may be expected from Germany within thirty days for concessions -similar WEATHER FORECAST.

to those accorded Cuba. The most distinct desire of the German Emperor, it Is pointed out, Is tOr the extension of the foreign commerce of his empire. He. of course, regards 'Cuba as a nation foreign to the United States, and, so far as that point Is concerned, on all fours with Germany. If tariff concessions are granted to Cuba. Germany, under the most favored nation

clause, will request that she be given similar concessions. That request may take the form almost of a demand. If it be not granted the fear is expressed that Germany may initiate legislation that will be mimical to the industrial development of this country, so far as Germany is concerned, even if It should not curtail American commerce already established In Germany and its possessions. The same argument is applied to other countries. Germany being used simply as an example of what may he PTnprted of all the srreat foreign nations with which the United States has extensive commercial relations. Negotiation for Coalln? Stations. HAVANA, Dec. 23. United States Min ister Squiers has formally begun negotia tions in the matter of securing a coaling station on the Isle of Pines.

After a long conference between President Palma, the members of the Cabinet and leading senators it has been decided not to call an extra session of the Senate to discuss the reciprocity treaty. The Senate will convene In regular session on Jan. 12. UAHK HONOR FOIt A FOREIGNER. Consul Fowler, at Che-Foo, Presented ly Chinese with Silver Vases. WASHINGTpN, Dec. 23.-A striking manifestation of the complete confidence which the Chinese feel in the fairness and honesty of purpose and disinterestedness of the United States government and its officials as a result of. the Boxer uprising and the subsequent negotiations is afforded In a report to the State Department descriptive of the presentation of three magnificent silver vases to Consul Fowler, at CheeFoo by the United Guilds of that Chinese city. One of the vases was eighteen inches in height, and was said to be the most elaborate piece of silverware ever seen In that city. It was flanked by two smaller vases of most beautiful design and workmanship. When the consul left Nlng-Po for Chee-Foo every native official was at the dock to bid him good-bye: there were two thousand soldiers lining the road, and for eighteen miles down the river there was a continual din from the junks, etc., until the great forts were reached, where a . salute was fired, the first ever delivered in honor of a foreign consul. The presentation of the silverware took place Oct. 11, and. besides ten Chinese gentlemen, there were present leading American citizens of the place and Captain Barry, of the Vicksburg, and several of hi3 officers.

Hereafter the chemically-fed boarders on whom Dr. Wiley, of the Agriculture Department, Is trying the boraclc acid tests will not be allowed to talk about the progress of the experiments. Secretary Wilson to-day gave orders to admit nrt newspaper men to the place where the men are being fed and for them to refrain carefully from giving out any Informa tion. The reason for this Is a fear that the public will not take the experiments seriously owing to the fact that some writers are treating them lightly and in a humorous way. One of the officials said to-day that If the boarders violate the or ders issued to-day they will be dismissed from the public service. National Capital Notes. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Hon.

MEDLEY OF MISHAPS

ATTEMPT TO FIX RESrO.NSIIHLlTY FOR GRAND TRLXK WRECK. Testimony of Train Dispatcher Kerr, Operators Carson nnd Watson and Other Employes. EFFORTS TO STOP THE EXPRESS BEFORE IT DASHED INTO THE FREIGHT AT WAN STEAD. Operator's Promptness In "Basting" " an Order Mnlnly Responsible The Conductor's Evidence. WYOMING, Ont., Dec. 29. When the principal witnesses to-day at the inquest to place the responsibility for the wreck on the Grand Trunk at Wanstead had given their testimony, a chain of mishaps was unfolded, the absence of any one of which would have tended Uo prevent the disaster that caused the death of twentyeight persons. " The principal witness was J. G. Kerr, the London dispatcher, who up to this time had been silent. Kerr's evidence was to the effect that he sent orders to the Watford and Wyoming operators simultaneously to have the express meet the freight at Wanstead. Shortly after Wyoming reported to the dispatcher that the freight was slow In getting out. Kerr's order was promptly repeated back by both operators and Kerr marked t "O. K." Kerr asked Wyoming why the freight was slow in going out. Wyoming replied that he did not know. Kerr then called Watford and asked if No. 5 was coming. Watford's reply being "yes," Kerr said: 'Wait a min, may bust" This was in the telegraphic code. Wyoming then reported the freight pull ing out. Kerr said: "Let her go." He then called the Wat ford operator, who reported No. 5 had gone and that he had "busted" the order for No. 5. Kerr then called Wyoming and told him to ston the freight. Wyoming answered, "I can't." Kerr said: "You must stop her." Kerr then called King's court ror sev en or eight minutes before raising that office. Kings Court reported No. 5 naa passed. In a few minutes v anstead callea the dispatcher, asking if the trains were to cross at Wanstead, as he heard a noise and run from his house thinking there was trouble. In a few minutes Assistant Superintendent Costello, who was on the express train, called Kerr and asked for the auxiliary to be sent, as a collision had occurred. William Carson, the Watford operator. at whose door is laid the responsibility for the accident by the Grand Trunk officials, followed Kerr on the stand. He appeared to be cool and collected. He got the order for the two trains to pass at Wanstead, he said, and displayed his order board to stop the express. Soon after he heard Wyoming tell of the delay to the freight and then the London dispatcher called the witness and said "Bust it." He did not hear the word "May" preceding the "bust it." The express had stopped and the conductor asked for his order, but the witness toia him it had been canceled and gave the conductor a clearance order. "Bust it" is a common form of cancellation of orders. he said., He did not get a formal order annulling it. There was no written record of the order "Bust It." : W. G. Watson, nineteen years old, who Is the oDerator at Wyoming, testified as fol lows: "The special freight pulled in ana l cave Conductor Graham an order to taice the siding at Wanstead. Iiis engine tooK on water. London called me to hurry up the freight train. When I got an order to stop the freight I wired that It was too late. I rushed out of doors with a lantern and the caboose of the freight was Just passing me. I signaled the rear brakeman to stop and yelled at him to stop. I thought he heard me. as he gave the stop signal. 1 then threw up my stop signal, which is a semaphore about half a mile from the station. Yes, it was in working order, but is not now. it was all right before ana after the accident." Conductor Graham, of the special east bound freight, said: "I received my order at Wyoming to take the siding at Wan stead. The engine took on water. My rear brakeman signaled to stop and I signaled all right. I thought he meant wanstead. The semaphore was not displayed and there was no stop signal. I proceeded to Wan stead, but owing to the snow the engineer did not see the switch and ran several car lengths by. It was necessary to back up, The train was at a standstill on the main track when No. 5 loomed up. She was but a few feet from us. As I jumped and touched the ground the crash came. The engineer also Jumped. No. 5 could not have stopped at the rate she was going even if she had had orders to stop." Rear Brakeman Harkness. of the freight. next testified. He said: "I was on top of the caboose and saw a man signaling stop from the depot and thought It was my con ductor. I signaled ahead to stop and the front brakeman pnd conductor answered me. I could not think who it was signaled from th denot. when the conductor alenaled from the train all right. I did not hear anybody yell stop to me at Wyoming, as my cap was down and It was snowing hard. Yes, I saw the stop signals from the Wyoming depot. I was on the rear when the crash came." Conductor McAullffe, of the passenger train, In his testimony, said: "I was late in coming into London, one hour and six teen minutes. I received an order to proceed to Watford. I asked for the order at Watford but there was none. I asked for a clearance and Carson gave It to me. I told the operator that 'the boss was on meaning that Costello, assistant superintendent, was on the train. I received my clearance and started. I was in the Pullman when the crash came and knew at once that a collision had occurred. There Is my clearance order.'.' Was Running Seventy Miles an Hoar. MONTREAL, Quebec, Dec. 29. Mr. McGulgan, manager of the Grand Trunk Rail way, In a statement this afternoon explains that had it not been for the blinding snowstorm the Wanstead accident would have been averted, as the road between Wan stead and Watford is perfectly straight for four miles. It has been asserted that the operator' could have remedied his mistake at Kind's Court, but the latter Is not a night station, and the train, which was running at the rate of seventy miles an hour, covered the distance between Wan stead and Watford, which Is a steep down grade, Inside of four and a -half minutes. The conductor, Mr. McGuigan says, cer tainly went into tho telegraph office at Watford nnd obtained his clearing order. "No superior officer of the road Is to blame." Mr. McGuigan said. "It is simply one of those inexplicable accidents in which the human mind has been found lacking. The material loss to property will not exceed sio.CjO, but the company ex pects It will have to face a loss of a Quar ter of a million by the time all the claims have been settW-d. NEARLY 5,000 PERISHED. Further Details of the Earthquake at Andijan nnd Vicinity. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 23. Further advices from Andijan say the earthquake vic tims number 4.SÖ0, of which 1.C00 were killed in the town of Andijan and the rest In the adjacent country. About 1,000 square miles were affected. The center of the disturb ance was four miles south of Andijan, where there was a cleft in the ground whence sand, water and mud were issu ing. The first shock lasted three seconds. It was repeated after half an hour, when buildings began tumbling, walls were flung down and roofs collapsed, burying every one within. The shocks continued for fifteen minutes and were accompanied by terrifyIne rumhlincs. torrential rain and a hur ricane. People in the streets were hurled to

the ground repeatedly. No refuge whatever was available. The heartrending ap

peals of friends and relatives ouried in the debris magnified the horrors of the situation. The natives worked splendily alongside the soldiery in disinterring the living and dead. Governor lvanoff. telegraphing to the Czar from AnUijan, says: "The garrison and population of Andljan presented a touching picture three days after the catastrophe, praying for the Czar on his name day amid the ruins, beneath the gray wintry heaven, unsheltered from the threatening snows." Another violent earthquake shock oc curred at Andijan at 10 o'clock last night. Passenger service on the Andijan Rail road, interrupted as a result of the previous earthquakes, has been restored. The Samonn Volcanic Outbreak. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 29.-The steamer Sonoma, which arrived to-day from Sydney, via Pago-Pa go, brings further news of the volcanic eruptions on the Isle of Savail of the Samoan group. During the violence of the eruption thirteen earth quakes took place and some stone churches at Safune and Sasina were much damaged. One church at Pala was destroyed. The effects cf the earthquakes showed themselves in landslides and the removal of blocks of stone and also In some small fissures. The scoria ejected by the volcano overthrew all the trees within its reach and burned thfjn to cinders. No movement of the volcanic mass was noticeable. MRS.

The plaintiff succeeded in excluding the answer to the question concerning Mrs. Tlngley's business at the time deponent knew her and also a question, "Was there a girl living with Mrs. Tingley?" The deposition of John M. Price, of 317 West Sixty-ninth street, New York, was next offered by the defendant.

On cross-examination Price said he had written to tho Los Angeles Times telling the publishers where they could obtain evidence. Price was asked to tell what Mrs. Tingley had said when she came out of trance states that he had described in direct examina tion. He said: "She asserted that the late Madame Blavatsky and the late William O. Judge spoke through her while she was in a trance state." The deposition of Mrs. George F. Mohn, of Los Angeles, followed that of Mr. Price. She had been at Point Loraa during the congress of the Universal Brotherhood .four years ago. Mrs. Tingley, she said, wore a dark blue robe and was known by the namo of "Purple." Deponent attended a great many early morning meetings and ono midnight meeting. This midnight meeting was on a hill known as the "Holy Hill." The special ceremony was the laying of the corner-stone of the School of the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity ear, air, lire and water symbolized by various acts and words of Mrs. Tingl$yv who sprinkled ashes as she spoke. The ceremony took about two hours, when the return was made two by two. ,The ceremony was very largely in silence. Mrs. Tingley had her finger on her Hps some of the time. Deponent testified that there were guards about the premises. OBITUARY. Col. John J. Dickey, a Western Union Telegraph Superintendent. OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 23. Col. John J.

George Gardner, of Lowell, Mass, the light-heavy-weight champion, won a decision over "Kid" Carter, of Brooklyn, In a six-round contest here to-night. The fight was rough and fierce from becinnlnir to end: with Gardner having the advantage of each round. Carter was very groggy during the last round, but by resorting to clinches at every opportunity succeeded In escaping a knockout. When time was called for the first round both men sprang for the center of the ring and a fierce exchange of swings followed. Towards the end of the round Gardner cut a deep gash over Carter's right eye. This bothered Carter considerably during the remainder of the fight. In the second round Gardner cut another gash over Car ter's left eye and the latter was covered with blood when he took his corner. Carter sent in some vicious right punches to Gardner's stomach in the third round, but the latter more than evened matters near the end of the round with half a dozen upper cuts that sent Carter to his corner staggering. During tho fourth round the men fought at close quarters and Gardner was bleeding from a cut over the right eye at the end of the round. I After several exchanges in the fifth round with matters about even Gardner on a breakaway crossed his right to Carter's jaw. Tho blow sent Carter staKKerins: back to the ropes, wiiere he sank to his knees. He pulled himself up by the ropes and the Den saved him irom further Dunishment. Carter made little effort to rieht durine the last round, taking advantage of overy clinch to hang on to Gardner until the referee separated them. Both men -.vere covered with blood at the end of th'; ccntest.

It has already been told how mystified he was when he heard the- word "gosh" at the theater. At dinner the other night, he was seated next to a clegyman, who was describing to the great Austrian how deplorable were moral conditions on the East Side. 'Why. professor," said the minister. "I heard an eleven-year-old girl over there one day step up to a boy of about her own age and say 'I'll lick hell out of you. " Dr. Lorenz looked puzzled. "Lick." he said: "was ist dos iick?' " "Why. lick " said the clergyman, a little puzzled in turn; "lick Is to kick out of, to stamp out from, to eradicate." "oh," said the professor, "and 'hell I don't know hell " Well, 'hell stands for all wickedness. everything that is wicked." "Yes. I see." slowly responded the pro fessor. "The leetle girl said to the leetle boy she would stamp out, eradicate everything wicked from him. But why should that be so bad?" Food Stories Not All Trne. Washington Letter. The officials of the Department of Agri culture in charge of the twelve young men on whom food preservative experiments are being tried are greatly amused at the stories printed about the progress of the experiments. Dr. Wlllard E. Bigelow says that no one. not even the young men them selves, knows whether they are losing or gaining flesh. Neither does any one know what of their food contains borax and what does not. In speaking of the various stories pr. Bigelow said this afternoon: "We do not mind the fun poked at us, so long as it does not tend to put us in a bad light before European nations. The German Health Board has declared that the presence of borax in American food is detrimental to health. On the other hand, sev eral of the most highly skilled German scientists have decided exactly the opposite, and say emphatically that borax, used as a preservative, is not injurious to the human system. .

I New York Commercial Advertiser. Alexander E. - Stokes, manager of the British Guiana Rubber Company, arrived here a day or so ago from Georgetown, British Guiana. He had traveled extensively In Venezuela, and was at Caracal when the present trouble first broke out li the country. Mr. Stokes was seen 'at thi Hotel Imperial. Speaking cf the condition! existing in Venezuela, he said: "I do not think there Is any cause foi alarm in the little dispute In Venezuela, although it is seriously damaging to trade. My line of business is almost completelj tied up, so far as Venezuela Is concerned. The blockade by the allies seems to be tin only serious phase of the situation at present. A section of the boundary betwevt Venezuela and British Guiana was belni guarded, in a way, by Venezuelan soldiers when I left Guiana about a month ago, because it seems that President Castro ii suspicious of the British possession. Th soldiers at his command are the most wretched-looking creatures it Is possible tc see anywhere. They are nearly all cigarette fiends of the most virulent type, and many of them would not hesitate to commit a murder in return for a package ol cigarettes or a nip of bad whisky. "As Venezuela is a free country, no one need Join the army, but the crafty Castro, who thoroughly understands the littl weaknesses of his people, has ways of hli own in persuading them to take up arms. He recently issued an order that his troopi be provided each day' with cigarettes fre of cost, in addition, of course, to th meager rations they get. The new order was posted up at every street corner and in the public buildings In Caracas shortly before I left that city, and It worked like a charm. Hundreds of the unemployed and regular loafing element rushed to the recruiting station In large numbers to become soldiers. The cigarette order Is responsible in a great measure for the largi number of mere boys who are Joining the army. "Both the Venezuelans and the Colombians have, as a whole, very little use foi foreigners, and especially those who cannot speak their language. For American! they have a little more respect at least 1 have seen them show It In many Instances but It is of the skin-deep, order. A large number of the Venezuelans perhaps 40 pex cent. fully expect that America will champion their cause If Great Britain and Germany go too far. Many are too ignorant to understand what the Monroe doctrine means, and quite a number of the most Intelligent really believe that it was especially framed to protedt their country when in trouble, no matter what the dispute, while the average Venezuelan looks at It askance, but with pretended indifference. Whichever way they regard tho Monroe doctrine, however, there is ever an unmistakable evidence of coldness behind it for Americans themselves. But the Venezuelans, like their neighbors, the Colombians, are far beyond the comprehension of the ordinary mortal. Their ways are the wayi of no other. Although both peoples are of the same blood and the same faith, and speak the same language, they never seem to be happy unless they are fighting or quarreling. They are born politicians, and all want to be president of their respective countries. I would be sorry to see America compelled to put her foot Into the dispute in support of Venezuela, for it would be a thankless task." . Glvina Ulm m Shock. Detroit Free Press. "I was a clerk in the trader's store at the Pawnee agency for three or four years." said a Detroit grocer the other day, "and, of course, I had a good chance to study the Indian. There was a chief named Leaning Tree who never smiled or laughed. He had no curiosity. He had no Interest in anything belonging to the white man not even whisky. He was the nearest tmng to a stone man you could find, and his imDerturbabllltv vexed me. I made up my mind one day to arouse him or perish. The chief used to come down to the store every morning and sit on an empty barrel on the porch. I put half a pound of powder under that barrel and one summer s morning Leanlnc Tree took op his usual roost. I waited about fifteen minutes and then fired the fuse. Ten minutes after there was an explosion that sent the chief twenty feet high and ten rods away, and, of course, there was a rush from every side to learn what had happened. The old chap must have felt his hair curl and been greatly mystlled, but he got up without the slight est loss of dignity and when asxed to ex plain he struck his breast and replied: 'Heap iigntning neap siriKe neap go up, but no heap hurt me! Let more thunder come! "His dignity was a good thing for me.M said the ex-trader. "There was an Investigation, and they would have made It hot for me, but when the officers questioned Leaning Tree he proudly answered: " 'No powder no blow up.
