Eitner. WASHINGTON. Senor Quesada. Cuban minister to the United States, in commenting on the negotiations now being conducted for a commercial ' treaty between Cuba and this country, -said on Friday: The reciprocity treaty Is a purely commercial convention and has abso ' .Ictely nothing to do with the Piatt amencment. The Cuban government has been studying the draft of the treaty submitted by Mr. Hay. and has been consulting the different Interests Tn the island and the custom house re ceipts, and in due time will return it with observations, suggested and . modifications. It has been shown by . past experience, during the reciprocity arrangement under Mr. Blaine, that commerce between the two countries materially increased, and it is expected that under any other reciprocal ar rangement, trade will be still greater . than it was ten years ago. at which time it reached upward of 5100,000,- 00.0." He said the best of feeling existed between Cubans and Americans and found the nroof in the fact that every steamer arriving at Cuban ports brought a great great manv American investors, who not only were putting , money in the island, but were estab lishing more themselves. He spoke of the popularity of Mr. 5quier3 and the gratitude of the Cu .bans to the United States for services rendered. ' When asked regarding the proposed .coaling stations m Cuba, he said four days before President McKinley was . shot he had, at the instance of Estrada Paima. gone to Canton and secured a solemn promise that while he was pres ident. Mr. McKmley would not give his consent to the establishment of a naval tation at Havana, and that President ! Roosevelt knew of the promise. - Continuing, he said President Palma would never have gone to Havana, the Cuban capital, where a diplomatic corps was established, while a foreign nag was flying over the city. He could not see the necessity for a coaling station at Cienfuegos, which had been recommended by Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of equip ment, in view of its proximity to Guan tanamo. which also was recommended as a coaling station. LARGE IRRIGATION PROJECT. Propose to suild a Ditch One Hun dred and Fifty Miles Lsng. LINCOLN One of the largest irri gation projects conceived m Nebraska is involved in a hearing begun be fore State Engineer Adna Dobsoru be ing the matter of a protest filed by the Farmers Canal company and the Farmers' Imzation District against the appHcanon of William Frank. Mr. Franks application for water from the North Platte river in Scotts Blun -eoanry was filed last April and the irrigation district filed one subsequent to thar date, but the real contest dares .back five or ten years. Eonds to the amount of $40.000 were once voted By the irrigation district, but they have never been disposed of. The ; .Farmers' Canal company built twenty- ette miles ot wnat was intended ro ' be an extensive lm ot ditches and l r&ea stopped work. Now two contend ic companies desire to complece the nricmal plan. Mr. Frank proposes to bttiid a ditch 150 estimated cost of miles long, at an j SoSO.000. The diS- ' trier expected to build eizhty miles ; with the 34M).00 bonds voted. Rob- j ert Walker succeeded ro the nghrs of I tee Farmers Bone company.

The fact recorded1 in the news dispatches from Havana Tuesday that President Palma has re turned to Washington the draft of the reciprocity treaty without his approval has not shaken the belief of the offi cials here that they will have a treaty ready to submit to congress by the date of its next meeting. As scon as Mr. Quesada, the Cuban minister here, receives the document he will submit it to Secretary Kay. Negotiations will then be continued on the basis of the original draft. Gen erally stated, the Cuban objections are based on a belief that the United States has demanded undue conces sions in the remissions of duties on United States products entering Cuba ranging all the way from 10 per cent to SO per cent in return for a 20 per cent cut on Cuban sugar and tobacco coming into the United States. As the difference is one strictly of figures and not of principle it is the opinion at the State department that it can be settled amicably. If not, and the Cuban gov-mment insists upon terms that the State department cannot grant, the two countries will simply drift along without any trade j treaty of any kind. As Cuba will un doubtedly be the principal sufferer, it is expected here that it will be the first to make another advance toward a treaty. There has been an important change in the program respecting the whole fabric of Cuban treaties. It had been originally intended to perfect a reci procity treaty before undertaking to deal with other relations that must ae aenned Dy treaty. As it is now seen that the subject of reciprocity is one that will require considerable time for its disposition, the govern ment here is about to undertake ne gotiations looking to the arrangement of an extradition treaty, which is very much needed, inasmuch as Cuba threatens to become a sink hole far American criminals. Also the navy is pressing for the coaling stations promised under the terms of the Piatt amendment. There fore the Cuban governmenr willl be at once invited to open negotiations on this point. It is not expected that can be done i&out some friction. because there has been a growing dis clination on the part of the Cubans to the idea of surrendering ccal sta- tions to the United States.

MUCH CAUSE FOB REJOKWC Since the Day of Its Independence America Has Been More Blessed Than Majority of Nations, and Now in Midst of Great Prosperity. WASHINGTON. President Roose velt on Wednesday issued his procla mation designating Thursday, Novem ber 27, as a day of thanksgiving. The proclamation is as follows: According to the yearly custom of our people it falls upon the president at this season to appoint a day of fes tival and thanksgiving to God. Over a century and a quarter has passed since this country took its place among the nations of the earth and during that time we have had on the whole more to be thankful for Tnn ns fallen to the lot of any other people. Generation after generation has grown to manhood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to face its special crisis, and each "has known years of grim trial, when the country was menaced by malice. domestic or foreign levy, when the hand of the Lord was heavy upon it in drouth or fiocd pestilence, when in bodily distress and anguish of soul it paid the penalty of folly and a forward heart Nevertheless, decade by decade, we have struggled onward and upward; we now abundantly enjoy material well being, and under the favor of the Most High we are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual uplifting. The year that has just closed has been one of peace and of overflowing plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now en joying. For this we render heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver of Good, and we seek to praise Him not by words only, but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to our selves and to our fellow men. Now, therefore, I. Theodore Roose velt, president of the United States, do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27th of the coming November, and do recom mend that throughout the land the people cease from their ordinary occu pations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for the manifold bless ings of the last year. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 23th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1902, and of the independence of the United States the 127th. TEEODORE ROOSEVELT, By the President: JOHN HAY, (Seal) Secretary of State. MINERS HONOR THE LEADER. "Mitchell Day" Generally Observed in Anthracite Region. WTT.RES3AP.RE. Pa. Mitchell day was celebrated by all the union miners in the anthracite region Wednesday. There was a general suspension of work, a few washeries were work ing, but their output of coal was very small. There was a big parade here, followed by speeches, Mr. Mitchell be ing the last to appear on the rostrum. He said: "I want union miners to prove bet ter workmen than non-union men. I desire the men and operators to meet. I do not want to make enemies of the operators. "In closing I wish to impress upon you that membership in the union is the only safeguard. The operators are not going to pay the bill of the strike. They will make the workers pay it if they can, but if not they will make the public pay it. It behooves the mine workers to see thar they are not made the victims. Stick by the union and the union will stick by you." Cuban Sugar Trade Doomed. LONDON General Leonard Wood, former military governor of Cuba, questioned on Wednesday, said: MIn view of the present crisis the Cuban sugar industry is absolutely" doomed unless reciprocity with the United States is arranged. I have the strong est reasons for believing that a reci procity bill will be passed during the next session of congress. Kansas Man Gets Pest.

Mr. Mitchell in the course of his re marks said: "These gift3 will ever remind me of the duty I owe to the great army at workers who have reposed confi dence in me and followed my leader ship during trying times. "I shall regard it a great favor if you will express to the Polish, Lith uanian and Slavonic people my grati tude for the confidence they have so freely given me. I beg you to say that my highest ambition will be to pro mote the welfare and advance the in terests of all in their labor for a live lihood. "I look forward to the time when strikes shall be no more, when peace and justice and right shall be secured for these who toil, when labor and capital, each recognizing its rights and obligations to society, shall work in harmony for the common welfare of our country and the general good cf all our people. "Gentlemen, I thank you with all my heart. I cannot express my feel ings to you properly at this time." Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Mitchell left for Washington, where he will on Monday attend sitting of the board of arbitration. He was accompanied to the station by a large and enthusiastic crowd and when he bearded the train was cheered. MANILA EXPECTS P.ELIEF NOW. Order Allowing Foreign Boats to Trade May Avert Famine. MANILA. It is believed here that President Roosevelt's order permitting foreign vessels to engage in coast trade among the Philippine islands will immediately relieve the inter-insular freight situation and improve the supply and lessen the cost cf rice in which a famine is threatened. The civil commission intends to act at once on the president's order, hop ing thereby to avert suffering among the poorer Filipinos. It is expected a number cf British and Japanese vessels will take advan tage of the offer. Existing freight rates from Manila to some ports in the archipelago ex ceed the rates from San Francisco to Manila. Agriculture in the islands, already impaired by the rinderpest and cholera, has been further injured, by locusts. HOLD UP IOWA BANK. Robbers Make Gccd Haul at Prairie City and Escape. PRAIRIE CITY, la. The State bank of Prairie City was broken open, the safe blown to pieces with dynamite and about 5C.500, princi pally in silver coin, taken at an early hour Tuesday morning. The work was done by. four men, who made good their escape with very little pros pect of their arrest. The four men came into the city at about 1:45 o'clock and -the first thing they did was to locate the night watchman for the town, Mr. Erskine. They cornered him in a hardware store and one of them stead guard, firing his gun into the store once to frighten him. Another of the gang stood guard at the foot of the stair way, where two doctors were awak ened and had a light. A third mem ber walked up and down the princi pal street with a shotgun. The fourth member of the gang went to work at the State bank, dynamiting the in stitution eight times before the booty was secured. Edward is Real King. LONDON The last ceremonies con nected with the inauguration of the reign of King Edward Vii occurred Sunday, when the king, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, the Prince oi Wales and almost all the members of the royal family drove to St. Paul's cathedral and offered up rh ay-re for the recovery of his health, which had enabled him to be crowned.

He was taken in charge and an examination was found to have been shot directly under the left shoulder blade. Tne man is about 30 years of age, gives his name as James J.

Sheriff Byrnes says he is confident that this man and the one who was shot are both wanted for postomce robbery at Belgrade. The descriptions tally ex actly. The Merrick county officers will be after the man. He stands per fectly dumb before all questioners and if he has a voice the officers have had no evidence of it. KILLED BY A BURGLAR. One of David City's Prominent Citizens Murdered. DAVID CITY. Great excitement prevailed Friday morning when the news was heralded that a burglary had been committed and one of David City's most prominent citizens had been shot. About 5 o'clock in the morning burg lars entered the residence of Harvey Lillie through a back door and made their way to the bedroom occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lillie. In pilfering the room they arosed Mr. Lillie. who arose in bed and was shot by the burg lars, the ball entering the left temple. This aroused Mrs. Lillie and she saw a man standing near the bed. He shot at her, but the bullet missed her and went through the window. An invest igation showed that the house had been gone through and JC00 in money stolen. The wounded man was taken to the hospital, where he died at 3 in the afternoon. Mr. Lillie was manag er of the Nye & Schneider elevator at this place, which position he has held for about eight years, and was one of the best citizens. The bloodhounds are on the trail of the murderers, in charge of Sheriff West and a large posse of citizens. The city has offered a reward of $200 for the arrest of the criminals and the citizens have offered $800 in addition. LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER. Antan Christcnson Must Pay Heavy Penalty for Killing His Wife. OMAHA. The solemn hush that at tended the sentencing on Monday aft ernoon of Anton Christenson to spend all the rest of his days behind prison walls was broken by the quick, ve hement clapping of the sister of the wife whom he had murdered. Never was applause less expected and never has it been more startling to these who heard it. The little group about the condemned man had been breath less as the judge pronounced his blast ing wards, and shuddered to hear that sound of exultation which is so rare in court rooms, even when the pro nouncement is one of hope instead of withering doom. The prisoner ut tered not a sound, but bowed beneath the blow, meekly and with all hope gone. Christenson shot and killed his wife last Angust. Wolves Attack Hogs. TECTJMSEH. For many years Jchnson county farmers have been croubled but little with wolves, but this is not the experience of W. P. McCoy, who lives northeast of this city.
