PALMA AT CUBA’S HEAD.

' <«> Formally Made President by the Electors of Havana. Presidential and senatorial electors chosen at the December election met in Havana M,#nday and formally elected Thomas Estrado Palma president, Luis Estevez vice-president and the member* of the Senate of the Island of Cuba. The result of the meeting of the electors was a foregone conclusion, as are the deliberations of the electoral college after a presidential election in the United States. The voters settled the question of who was to be-the head of the new government of the inland and who were to sit in the upper house of Congress Dec. 31, when representatives and governors of the provinces were selected, together with the presidential and senatorial electors, at a general election. The first Cuban Congress will be composed of sixty-three representatives and stwenty-four senators. Among the members of the house are one priest, two cigarmakers, four merchants, five editors, soldiers, fifteen planters and nineteen lawyers. The senators are nearly all planters and lawyers. Members of the new congress are nearly all in control of large interests in the island. Many arc men of wealth,

PRESIDENT TALMA.

and it is chiefly on this account that the outlook for the government is hopeful. In the past the best citizens have had nothing to do with politics, and local interests have suffered in consequence. Much good to the vast interests dependent upon a sound government of the island is expected to result from the congress.

Each of the provinces will have four senators in the upper house. The six divisions of the island are allowed the following number of members in the house of representatives: Havana, 17; Santa Clara, 14; Santiago. 13; Matanzas, 8; Pinar del Rio, 7, and Puerto Principe, 4. There will be four senators from each of these provinces. Among the governors of the provinces recently elected President Palma will fiud the strongest kind of support. Five of the six governors were generals in the late war, and every one is a Palma man and will support him in his measures for elose relations with the United States. The majority of both branches of congress will do the same. The best class of Cubans are enthusiastic over the character of the men who have been elected to office.

The president is a wise and good man, who has time and again proved his friendship for Cuba. He owns thousands of acres of land along the Cauto river in the western part of Santiago province, but none of his possessions has been under cultivation in the last thirty years. He is land poor. He has been in charge of a school at Central Valley, N. Y., for

PRESIDENT PALMA’S HOME.

the last ten years, hut has devoted the most of his time to the interests of Cuba. His devotion to \iis country's welfare seems to have thoroughly \\*>n the confidence of the people. On account of his long residence in the United States he is familiar with the customs of both countries, and will be better able to discharge the important duties of his high office ou this account. Vice-President Esteve* is au attorney of Havana and formerly was secretary of justice of the island.

Several Passengers Injured.

A rear-end collision between the Norristown accommodation train and the Reading accommodation, on the Philadelphia and Reading Railway at Connhohocken, Pa., wrecked two cars and injured a number of passengers.

From Far and Near.

James Alexander, 103, Bpringfield, 0., is dead. Standard Oil Company lit said to be gobbling up phosphate pbiclds in PlilorIda. German budget committee has asked for 24,900,000 marks for an expedition to East Asia. In Baca County, Colo., thousands of cattlo on the range* are said to be dying from starvation and exposure. The cause of the mortality is due to a scarcity of grass and the freexing of the water holes.

CAUSE Of THE DETROIT SAVINGS BANK WRECK.

Frank C. Andrews, vice-president of the City Savings Bonk of Detroit, who caused the failure of the institution by

his manipulation of its funds, was known as a “young Napoleon of Finance” and as “Detroit’s youngest millionaire.” H e arrived in Detroit eleven years ago a farm boy of 19, and in a few years worked his way up from clerk in a real estate office to a partnership.

F. C. ANDREWS.

Shrewd real estate deals made him a fortune, whieii he increased by stock speculation, in the meantiine becoming interested in banks, electric railroads and other enterprises. He lays all the blame on stock speculation, and after the announcement of the bank's failure dramatically exclaimed that his was an example of the fate in store for young men who attempt to grow rich quickly by speculation.

TARIFF BILL IS PASSED.

Philippine Measure Is Sent Through the Senate. On a strictly party vote the Senate passed the Philippine tariff bill. The final vote, taken at 7- o’clock, stood 46 to 26. There was an exciting scene in the Senate chamber, during this debate between Senators MeComas and Wellington of Maryland. The latter challenged a statement of the former.,, and said if Mr. MeComas would reiterate liis statements outside th<« chamber he would tell him that he was not only incorrect, but that he uttered “a malicious and cowardly falsehood.” He was called to order by Senator Hoar and Senator Frye, president pro tern, ordered him to take his seat. Many amendments were offered to the bill before it was passed, but only one was adopted—a clause restricting the sedition law enacted by the Taft commission. Under the measure as passed articles imported into the Philippines from the United States will be required to pay the duties levied by the Philippine commission, and paid on like articles from foreign countries, while articles imported into the United States from the Philippines shall pay 75 per cent of the rates fixed by the Dingley law, less any export trade upon the articles. All articles imported free into the United States now shall be exempt from export duty in the Philippines. (

WHEELER, OF KENTUCKY,

Who Gained Notoriety by Abusing Prince Henry. A month ago not one in five thousand persons in the United States knew that there was such a man as Charles K.

Wheeler in the Hause of Representatives. The member of the first Kentucky district had so quietly followed the “even tenor of his way” that he had not attracted attention outside his own district. His sensational speech against Prince Henry and Secretary Hay may not

C. K. WHEELER.

have earned him great popularity, but it gave him a reputation and has caused people to ask questions about him. Wheeler is serving his third terra in the House. He is a young man; he will lie 39 in April. He was a precocious youth, graduating from the Southwestern University at Clarksville, Tenu., when he was 17. That was in 1880 and since then, according to his biography in the Congressional Directory, he has been actively engaged there in the practice of his profession, when not occupying his seat in the House.

MINNESOTA BARRED OUT.

Bupreme Court Gives Decision Which Is a Victory for the Merger. The Supreme Court has refused to allow the State of Minnesota to file a bill of complaint against the Northern Securities Company. The court is of the opinion that it has not original jurisdiction. The State must begin its suit in the lower courts. It follows, therefore, that there is not to he a speedy determination of the question which the State of Minnesota is anxious to have passed on. That question is whether the laws of the State forbidding the consolidation of competing roads can be practically set at naught through the machinery of a corporation organized under the laws of another State. The question which the Attorney General of the United States will raise in the suit soon to he instituted by him is whether the Northern Securities Company does not come under that provision of the antl-trnst law which declares unlawful all combinations in restraint of trade. The Sgpreme Court lias decided that under the law all agreements in restraint of trade, even though not in unreasonable restraint of trade, ure unlawful.

Attorney General Wallace B. Dougina of Minnesota started the proceedings Jau. 7, when he tiled a bill of complaint in the case asking the Supremo Court to grant an injunction against the merger interests. It was asserted that the combination once effected the roads would cease to build spurs into lands owned by the State, causing the value of these tracts to depreciate. It was also set up that the scheme was one to avoid the laws of the Btate of Minnesota. ’ T ie bill was filed against J. J. Hill, W. I*. Clough, J. Plerpont Morgan and “other associates to the oratrix unknown.” This fight was begun by Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota and hinged largely on the question whether the Interests Incorporated under the laws of New Jersey could violate Minnesota laws.

Young Boy Mas Hydrophobia.

Liddell Childs, n 12-year-old boy of Covington, Ga„ sufferiug from hydrophobia. was taken to Atlanta for the Pasteur treatment. The boy was bitten by a dog two years ago, but rabies did not become manifest uatij. the other day. He was out bunting with his brother, when suddenly he was seised with violent convuF ■ions and bffan to froth at the mouth.

DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Brilliant Society Event in Honor of the Royal Visitor. Prince Henry of Prussia was the guest of honor at a state dinner given by President Roosevelt at the White House Monday night, when all the departments of the government were represented and the envoys of other nations were among the guests. The table was spread in the east room, and decorations were gorgeous. In the blue room, where the President received the prince, the scene plso was one of great splendor. The guests were seated at a crescent-shaped table. All the diplomats in Washington, the President’s cabinet and many representatives were present. On the right of the President sat Prince Henry and on°his left Lord

MADAME VON REBEUR-PASCHWITZ.

As the only lady at the German embassy she was called upon to perform the delicate part of hostess.

Pauneefote, the British ambassador. Opposite these distinguished men was Secretary of State Hay, the German ambassador and the French ambassador. All through the dinner there were conceits complimentary to the fatherland. The dishes in which the fillet of beef was served were fashioned after the Meteor. The ice cream was shaped to represent the German and American eagles, and the punch was served in satin boxes bearing a picture of the prince and the date of the dinner. The toast' the President proposed to the German Emperor and the German people was as follows: “We admire their grbat past and great present and we wish them all possible success id the future. May the bonds of friendship between the two peoples ever grow stronger.” To the health of “Our Gnest, Prince Henry of Prussia,” he proposed a toast as follows:

“In the name of the American people I greet you and extend to yon onr warmest welcome and the assurance of our heartiest good will.” Following this the prince arose and proposed a toast to the President and the people of the United States. At midnight Prince Henry and his staff and President Roosevelt and his party left the capital on special trains for New York to take part in the ceremonies attending the launching of the Kaiser's yacht Meteor.

METEOR IS LAUNCHED.

Kaiser’s New Yacht Glides Into the Water Gracefully. In a drizzling rain and in the presence of a brilliant assemblage, amid cheering and the roar of cannon, the German Emperor’s new schooner yacht Meteor was launched from Shooter’s Island Tuesday. Unlike the weather, the arrangements were perfect, and no untoward incident marred the occasion. Th£ President, Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt, Prince Henry and the distinguished party accompanying them were cheered enthusiastically on arriving at the platform built just back of the bow of the Meteor. After greetings had been exchanged. Miss Roosevelt without delay stepped forward, and, taking hold of a silver-covered

MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT.

bottle containing German champagne, broke it on the side of the vessel. Immediately she seized a silver nx ami severed the rope which released the weight! holding the Meteor. The vessel went into the water gracefully, with the American flag breaking out at the taffrail. Atierican and German national airs were played, and from the scores of craft containing excursionists came enthiuiastic cheering.

Cuts Military Service.

The French Chamber of Deputies, after a debate lasting several sessions, adopted by a vote of 553 to 2 a motion approved by the government in favor of the principles of the reduction of military service to two years, which will be realised by the suppression of all exemptions and by the re-engagements of noncommissioned officers for short terms.

John O’Mara, 13, Yonkers, N. Y., twice tried to kill himself after being sentenced to the reform school.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Fast Train Saved by Two Boys—Returned Soldier Marries Widow and Kills Himself—Reformed Burglar Returns to Evil Ways. The west-bound flyer on the Toledo, St. Dorns and Western Railroad would have been wrecked the other day but for the presence of mind of two small boys. The boys were on route to school when they discovered a broken rail in the track near West Middleton. They knew that the fast train was about due and hastened up the track to signal the train of the danger. When- they saw the approaching train they removed their coats and waved them above their heads. The engineer saw the signals and the train was stopped but a few feet from the break. The rail was badly broken and but for the children the train would have been thrown down the embankment with its 200 passengers. In the excitement among the passengers and train crew the boys left without giving their names. The railroad company will reward them if they can be found.

Reformed Man Backslides. Robert Waters, formerly a burglar with a long police record, but for twelve years a real estate dealer of Indianapolis. has disappeared, taking with him several thousand dollars belonging to property owners whom ho represented as agent. For twelve years Waters has been living in Indianapolis, and a few of his associates and business acquaintances knew of his history. lie was formerly known a s ‘‘ol d_ Man Burk.” under which name he has a Bertillon record. He reformed while in the Indianapolis workhouse and later married a widow of considerable means.

Returned Soldier a Suicide. Walter MeVey of Kokomo killed himself in the presence of his bride of but a few days. MeVey was a member of Company F. Thirty-third regiment, and married Mrs. Hughes, a widow with four children, on his jreturn from the Philippines. He exhibited n revolver to his wife, saying: “There are two loads in this revolver, one for each of us.” He snapped the weapon alternately at his wife and himself, the first load falling to his lot. The bullet entered the. right eye. Death was instantaneous. No motive is known.

Forgeries Cost Girl $27,000. Miss Tryon of Union Mills, it was learned, lost $27,000 as a result of the forgeries which wrecked the Nebraska -bank, owned by the Gould brothers, former residents of Daporte County. It is estimated that the loss in that county by reason of the bank failure roaches $i(X),000, about one-half of the total.

Think Wheat Crop Rained. The mild weather has practically removed the snow from the wheat fields and Indiana farmers report the plant as coming out badly injured. With the ruined corn crop of last season they are very apprehensive and fear the wheat crop is the next to suffer.
