ITS CONGRESS HAS THREE MONTHS EXTRA WORK THE LABOR THAT IS TO BE DONE Straightening Out of the Government System The Message of President Palma Cubas Relations to the Uni ted States HAVANA Congress reassembled Monday afternoon and will probably continue its session three extra months on account of the necessity for passing many laws before all the departments of the government get their policy under way The measure Includes approval of the naval station agreement and a permanent treaty covering Cubas po litical relations with the United States laws dealing with municipal government and defining the duties of cabinet officers laws concerning gold and silver coinage divorce and revi sion of the court system and customs tariff A message from President Palma was read at the opening session He congratulated the country upon tho maintenance of peace and order since the strike last November The sys tem of reorganization he said had be gun and advised a reform of the mili tary laws which were not adapted to a republican form of government especially with reference to the juris diction over soldiers guilty of penal offenses The president says negotiations have been completed providing for the entrance of Cuba into the postal union and for special arrangements with the United States and Mexico and he ad vises an entire reconstruction of the postal telegraph system He contin ues The majority of the municipalities exist with difficulty because their rev enues are inadequate The govern ment feels that further assistance in many cases is unauthorized beyond paying the expenses of charities schools and prisons but the obliga tions of the municipalities can not continue to be met unless congress specifically authorizes the government to act The work of sanitation as at present conducted by the government is not in harmony with the constitu tion Since the Piatt amendment makes the government responsible for sanitation it is urged that an act cov ering the work of sanitation be passed It is unnecessary to recall the fact that in the naval station agreement which is in the hands of the senate the United States has obtained sites at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda af ter asking also for Nipe and Cienfue gos It being impossible to evade car rying out our duty in accordance with the Piatt amendment the executive believes that the convention has been made as favorable as possible and rec ommends a speedy approbation so that it may be possible to negotiate an additional agreement to establish the price of the leases and other con ditions It is necessary to hasten the per manent definition of Cubas relations with the United States so as to elim inate the Piatt amendment problem which is keeping Cuba at present in a state of political uncertainty MANY OPPOSE CANAL TREATY Colombia May Start a Revolution as Result of Big Ditch KINGSTON Jamaica The Royal Mail companys steamer Atrato which arrived here Sunday from Colon and Cartagena brings the report that con siderable opposition is developing to the Panama canal treaty in almost ev ery department of Colombia except Panama It is believed the majority in congress will favor the treaty but there are

Comment on President Roose velts Speech LONDON Commenting on Presi dent Roosevelts speech on the Mon roe doctrine at Chicago the Vossische Zoitung takes the view of the average prosperous Berliner when it says it was due to his prudence and the cir cumspection of the Washington gov ernment that the Venezuelan affair passed off without serious disaster Reverting to the Monroe doctrine the Vossische Zeitung says No logi cal objections can be raised to the doctrine It is for North America as a matter of national sentiment and national business and any attack on it from this side of the ocean would be mere tilting at windmills Since Frances luckless adventure in Mexico there has been no instance of an at tempt to upset the doctrine during the last hundred years On the contrary European possessions on the American hemisphere have been steadily dwindling by revolution and sale The American is like a dragon that imag ines he has to protect the American girl from violence while Europe is like the man who though always be ing bled is constantly accused of sucking the blood of others The best proof of the disinclination of Eu rope to acquire territory on the Amer ican continent is the fact that there was no attempt to do so when Amer ica had no fleet worth mentioning In conclusion the paper says it re grets that there is still a part of the American press and even American dignitaries who frequently lack the tone of good society and are addicted to the shirt sleeve diplomacy of the far west It says that doubtless time will alter this as America is making gigantic progress in every field and it may be hoped that the country is improving in that of political manners also QUARANTINE AGAINST KANSAS Action to Be Taken Against Hoof and Mouth Disease LINCOLN

produce would be conveyed by an extensive system of collection wagons drawn by horses until light railroads are built and motor car services are es tablished a iiiwiniifriiiiium - THE IMPRESSIONS OF A WOMAN What a Woman Says About Western Canada Although many men have written to this paper regarding the prospects of Western Canada and its great possi bilities it may not be uninteresting to give the experience of a woman set tler written to Mr M V Mclnnes the agent of the government at Detroit Mich If the reader wishes to get further Information regarding Western Canada it may be obtained by writing any of the agents of the Government whose name is attached to the adver tisement appearing elsewhere In this paper The following Is the letter referred to Ililldown Alberta Feb 5 03 Dear Sir I have been hero now nearly five years and thought I would write you a womans impression of Western Canada in Alberta There are several ranchers in this district who in addition to taking care of their cattle carry on farming as well their herds of cattle number from 100 to 200 or 300 head and live out all winter without any shelter than the poplar bluffs and they come in in tho spring in good order Most of the ranchers feed their cattle part of the time about this time of the year but I have seen the finest fat cattle I ever saw that never got a peck of grain only fattened on the grass You see I have learned to talk farm since I came here farming Is the great busi ness here I know several in this district who never worked a day on the farm till they came here and have done well and are getting well off I think this will be the garden of the Northwest some day and that day not very far distant There has been a great change since we came here and there will be a greater change In the next five years The winters are all anyone could wish for We have very little snow and the climate is fine and healthy Last summer was wet but not to an extent to damage crops which were a large average yield and the hay was immense and farmers wore a broad smile accord ingly We have good schools the govern ment pays 70 per cent of the expense of education which is a great boon in a new country Of course churches of different denominations follow the settlements Summer picnics and win ter concerts are all well attended and as much or more enjoyed as in the East Who would not prefer the pure air of this climate with its broad acres of fine farms its rippling streams its beautiful lakes its millions of wild flowers its groves of wild fruit of exquisite flavor its streams and lakes teeming with fish and its prairies and bluffs with game to the crowded and stiff state of society in the East- I would like to go home for a visit some lime but not to go there to live even if presented with the best farm in Michigan Beautiful Alberta I will never leave it And my verdict is only a repetition of all who have settled in this country This year I believe will add many thousands to our population And if the young men and old men also knew how easy they could make a home free of all incumbrance in this country thousands more would have settled here I would sooner have 160 acres here than any farm where I came from in Michigan but the peo ple in the East are coming to a knowl edge of this country and as they do they will come West in thousands All winter people have been arriving in Alberta and I suppose in other parts as well which is unusual so we ex pect a great rush when the weather gets warmer We have no coal famine here Coal can be bought in the towns for 2 to 3 according to distance from the mines and many haul their own coal from the mines getting it there for 50 cents to a dollar a ton Very truly yours Signed Mrs John McLachlan Two Vanrevels are
