RIGHT TO TUB POINT

Federal Official Must Keep Hand Off tit Cuban fcle-i ion. Washington. Nov. 30. Secretary Root has addressed a communication to Eligio Bonachea. president of tht convention at Havana. Cuba, tha' nominated Bartholomo Maso for pres ident. reli.ive to comolaints tha' United States au'horities were inter1 luring in the Cuban .:"?ns. A press uispatch from Havana stated that Maso complained that the influence of United States officers was being exerted in favor of Estrada Palma. and a dispatch from Bonachea to the secretary implied the same thing. Following Is the secretary's communication to Senor Bonachea: "Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of Nor. 26, saying: 'The national con vention of Havana which has pro claimed General Maso candidate for the presidency of the future republic of Cuba respectfully asks yon to rec ommend to the representatives of the intervening government the strictest Impartiality in the electoral contest which Is now taking place.' "The representatives of the Inter vening government In Cuba are already aware that their duty requires them not merely to be strictly impar tial in the electoral contest in Cuba but to refrain from interfering in any manner whatever with the free ex pression of the wishes of the Cuban people at the polls. They have not violated this rule in the past and will not in the future. They Nvill have nothing to do with the electoral con test except to enforce the electoral law prescribed by the constitutional convention and promulgated by the military governor on the 14th of October last. This will bo done impartially and effectively. "It is quite unnecessary to assume that the officers of this government will be less faithful to their duty hereafter than they have been in the past, or to recommend or direct that they shall perform a duty which they are already performing. "Very respectfully, "ELIHtJ ROOT, Sec. of War." Weather Stimulates Trade. New York, Nov. 30. Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says: The advent of more seasonable weather has given tne apparently only needed stimulus to retail and holiday demand in the North. East and portions of the South. From now on retail rather than wholesale demand will attract most attention. Colder weather and snow would, however, benefit Northwestern trade and industry, though the open weather prevailing has , enabled more, than ordi narily euuipitrt? larmmg pnrntiK(MM and extended building activity. Accompanying the Improvement in the tone of trade, there has been a broadening and deepening in speculation in leading fooa staples, and, all in ail, there is a rather more cheerful feeling prevailing.

Nov. 30. According to a letter dated Dubnitza. Nov. 28. Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka are still alive. The letter in question further says that at a recent meeting of the committee held in Dubnitza it was definitely decided not to kill the prisoners under any pretext whatever. Nevertheless the committee insisted upon the payment of a full amount of the ransom. A naive suggestion is current in political circles here to the that the United States should ,orte Turkey to pay the balance of the ransom, and as soon as the prisoners are in safety, force Bulgaria to punish those persons guilty of their abduc- j tion. t hil I Hurued to leaih.

The fc ! on the Wabash is the chief subjf i discussion just now among the f I j railroad men, and they cannot re j out how it happened. Trainrney j that as the orders given the ereman must be read by the eondar, s the brakeman and fireman, theyn-' not understand how all four n ; would make the mistake of rejg j Seneca for Sand Creek as a mag; point. It is also pointed out byjal railroad men that a burning heaht is a signal of danger when two 4s , are meeting. They argue that ie engineman on the eastbound traiaw the headlight of the other trahe should have been prepared for djer. ' because if the train was on a sng, as he supposed, the headlight the waiting train should have been "n-, keted." The most remarkable ng . of all, so the local men say, lsiat ! two trains should get together i" a straightaway track when the eme-j men of both trains saw one anker; five miles away.

Over a month ago Governor Murphy issued a requisition on Governor Rafael Ysabel of Sonora for the extradition of Guillermo Uzalda. wanted for the murder j of a woman at Alameda. The request! was made under the treaty with Mex-j ico which provides that governors of: northern Mexican states might surren-i der fugitives without reference to the' federa government. Ysabel not desiring to act, referred the act to the federal government. Sheriff Livings-! ton of Yuma, who went after LisaUla, i applied to the American consul at Nogales, who in turn carried the matter to the state department. Ysabel was then instructed to surrender Lisalda. J Governor Murpny has just received ' word from Governor Ysabel that he j had been directed to surrender the j prisoner, testifying by the act a will-j ingness to work in harmony with American border states for the pun ishment of criminals.

Gotham Society Man Canard a Sensation Wltb ilia Slippers. It remained for Harry Lehr to create the seusation of a recent evening at the horse show just ended in New York. Everybody always expects Harry Lehr to do something quite out of the ordinary, but the people who noticed his latest eccentricity were nevertheless a good deal surprised, says the New York Journal. Tbe finishing touch to his faultless evening array was a pair of low cut evening slippers cut. with the exception of the heel, in the exact model of a woman's dancing slipper. With these slippers Mr. Lehr wore silk st.iekiugs black in color and daintily embroidered in white silk. The e'ippers. cut so low as to reveal tbe wbole upjier pnrt of the foot, were ornamented with tiny black silk bows. In order to display this new fad as much as possible Mr. Lehr occupied a conspicuous position for a long time on the stairs by tbe side of Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs box. Woman's Relation to Man.

The domestic gas meter has a more or less well deserved reputation for habitual mendacity, though as likely to lie against the gas company as for It: bt't It has never done anything t warrant tbe suspicion thai it Is liable to go oft wltb a bang.

Outside tbe meter It might have opportunity to form the -explosive mix ture with air and do some damage. What actually hapoens in the case of fires attributed to the explosion of gas meters Is usually this: Gas which bas leaked from defective pipes or worked iuto tbe cellar from broken or defective street mains accumulates In pockets formed by rafters and elsewhere and remains there uutil it comes In contact with an accidental tire of some sort. A fire starts ia the cellar and tbe temperature gradually rises until tbe smoldering rubbish bursts into flame. This reaches tbe mixture of gas and air along the ceiling and an explosion follows.

"1 for one am glad the deer bunting season is over." remarked an Adirondack woodsman to a Ctica Observer reporter who visited tbe city tbe other day. Why so?" asked his companion. IT I mistake not. you are a pretty successful hunter yourself." Well. I flatter myself that 1 am." rejoined the woodsman, "but I haven't done much bunting this season. So mauy of us were kilU-d or wounded by careless so called ioitsmen last season that I have ouly ventured out twice." "ISut there have uot been as mnny accidents of that kiud this seasou es last." was suggested. "That may be so." was tbe reply, "but if it is true no thanks are due the sportsmen. It is tiecnuse hundreds, like myself, have refrained from going Iuto tlie woods to be targets for care lessness. The fact is we wuo me iu the woods are afraid to take the risk, and many of the old guides have gone out of tbe business entirely for that reason." "What would you suggest as a remedy?" was asked. "A law that would make the man behind tbe gun guilty of criminal, carelessness to the extent or manslaughter and subject hiui to the penalty that now attaches to that degree of crime. The publication in the newspapers of a few convictions iu that liue would put the sportsman on his guard for bis own safety and save his possible victim at tbe same time." . "There Is another source of danger you have not mentioned." said a seeouil woodsman. "What Is the use of takingguns into the woods that will kill at perhaps two miles? It is seldom a deer is killed at 200 yards in tbe brush or uudergrowth. From fifty to a hundred yards is tlie probable average, and yet many of the sportsmen from cities use long distance guns, a K(ieut ball from which will easily kill a man half a mile or more away a man that tbe hunter did not see at all or knew that he hail shot. If tbe man chance to be alone, his remains, or. rather, bis skeleton, may be accidentally discovered months or years afterward. 1 would favor a law prohibiting tbe use Id the woods of any of the modern hong distance rifles."
