Chicago. March 11.—The Tribune to
morrow will say;
The ari was thick yesterday with ru
mor sof gigantic railway deals and com
binations. The"most important of these
was a report that the Illinois Central
had, or was about, to secure control of
the Wisconsin Central Railroad. Vice
President Harman when questioned re
garding the rumor that he knew nothing
of it, and did not believe there was any
foundation for the report. He could not
see of what benefit the acquisition of
the Wisconsin Central would be to the
Illinois Central.
It was claimed that certain large
stockholders of the Illinois Central had
bought privately a majority of Wiscon
sin Central preferred stock and were
assured of a controling interest in the
common. These purchases, it was claim
ed, would be turned into Illinois Central
bb a corporation and thus give the latter
a line from St. Paul to New Orleans.

CUBA'S NEW CONSTITUTION.
It la Framed on Ihe Model of Our
Own and Makes the Suffrage Uni
versal.
Copyright. 1901, the Christian Herald,
New York.
Cuba has a constitution which has
been drafted by its own people. The
making of this constitution has been
different from that of the other countries
on the American continent, which revolt
ed from Spain. It has been made under
the direction of the United States, as
the intervening military authority
which compelled Spain to relinquish sov
ereignty over Cuba. That was not the
way with Mexico and the Central and
South American countries, which freed
themselves from Spain without the aid
of intervention of the big American re
public.
The convention which framed this or
ganic law for Cuba was composed of
thirty-one members or delegates. These
were chosen from the different provinces,
but it was not required that the delegate
should be a resident of the province from
which he was elected, so it happened that
residents of Havana have represented the
provinces of Santiago, Matanzas and
Pinar del Hio, in the convention. The
election was held on Sept. 15. under
regulations prescribed by Gie American
military authorities. The basis of suf
frage was substantially that of the muni
cipal elections which were held last June.
The qualification, required was ability to
read or write, the possession of real es
tate or personal property to the value of
$260. or a certificate of service in the in
surgent army.
The first meeting of the convention
was held on Nov. 5. It was opened by
Gov. Gen. Wood, who, as the represen-
Tfitive of President McKinley, stated to
the delegates that their duty would be
to form and adopt a constitution for
Cuba, and when that w r as done to for
mulate their opinion of what should be
the relations with the United States, It
is for this reason that the constitution
Itself does not contain any reference to
the United States.
The majority of the delegates were
identified with what is known as the
revolutionary element of the island. Some
of them had been insurgent military
chiefs, while others had worked for the
cause of Cuba in different capacities. The
convention took some days to pass upon
the qualification of its members and to
adopt rules for its guidance. Then in
December it began a series of secret ses
sions, in which were discussed various
drafts or projects which were submitted
by individual members. The real work
of drafting this organic law. or consti
tution, was placed in the hands of a
central committee composed of five mem
bers. They were Dr. LeopoUlo Berrlel,
Gonzales Liorente, Antonio Bravo Cor
reso, Gonzalo Quesda and Rlus Rivera.
The latetr was chairman. This committee
would report from time to time upon
the progress it w;p making, and 4ts work
would be reviewed in these secret ses
sions.
I,ate in January the public sessions
were begun, because the whole project of
a constitution, eectlon by section and arti
cle by article, was ready for discussion.
11l private, a 'two-thirds majority- of the
delegates had agreed that they would
support the draft with a few changes.
This did not prevent some interesting de
bates and determined efforts to amend or
change some of the main provisions. One
of the most notable debates was held at
the outset, when a proposition was made
to eliminate the part of the preamble
which invoked the blessing of Almighty
God. This effort was defeated by an
overwhelming vote. There was also a
long discussion over the separation of
church and state. Some member*, while
piofeesing to believe in the widest relig
ious toleration, sought to leave It open to
the future Cuban congress whether the
state should recognize the church or not.
As the great majority of the Laitin people
are Roman Catholics, this meant the
Catholic Church. The sentiment of the
convention was strongly against leaving
open even a possibility of a future state
church and so the constitution makes ao
solute the prohibition.
Among the members who took a lead
ing part in the debate, were Manuel San
guiHy, Judge Uorente. who is seventy-six
veers' old' Juan Gualberto Gomez, the
co ored orator and writer; Dr. Berrlel.
BUsco Giberga. Bravo Correoso. General
Aleman and Alfredo Zaya*. Other no
table figures in the convention were Gen.
Nunez civil governor of Havana pro
vince; Dr. Miguel Gener and Diego Ta
mayo both members of Gen. Wool’s
cabinet; Gen. I*acret Morlot. Salvador
Cisneros Gen. Betancourt, civil governor
of.Matanzas; Gen. Alejandro Rodriguez,
inafvoi of Havana; and Margua Delgado, a
colored man who has made many trans
lations from English Into Spanish. The
youngest member of the convention was
Enrique Vllluendas. who was one of the
secretaries.
The parliamentary management of the
constitution was chiefly In the hands of
Ruls Rivera and Gonzalo Quesada, rep
resenting the central committee which
draftel It. They proposed to accept some
amendments and fought the adoption of
others. The most lmi>ortant change made
by the convention was In establishing uni
versal suit rage. Tlie original draft of
iha constitution had left th.,l subject to
be delet mined by a general law to be
passed lalsr by the Cuban Congress But
the sentiment In favor of making univer
sal suffrage a part of the ceostltutlon waa
o strong that U had to be respected, and
tlka clause wea Inserted As completed,
the eousutuUeu iollowe ei< i t the een
stitution of the United States. There are
some provisions from the constitution of
Spain in guaranteeing personal rights,
these are meant to secure under the Span
ish system of laws the same guarantee
that obtained under the American con
stitution through the common law and
the bill of rights.
The Cuban constitution establishes three
co-ordinate branches of government; the
executive, legislative and judicial, on the
same lines as in the United States. There
is to be a congress, com,posed of two
branches, the senate and the camara, or
house; a supreme court, with subordinate
Judicial tribunals, and a president and
vice president. There are also to be sepa
rate government for the six different
provinces, each of which shall elect its
own civil governor. But these provinces
do not fully correspond to states in the
.American Union, because their powers
and functions are almost wholly execu
tive.
A general power of suspension Is given
all the executive officers, from the al
caldes or mayors, up to the president,
in addition to the regular veto power.
This suspensive power relates to the acts
of executive officials as well as to the
ordinances of the muncipal councils, the
regulations of the provincial assemblies
and the acts of the congress. It Is un
like anything in the American Constitu
tion, and is subject to review by the Su
preme Court.
Cuban citizenship is not made difficult.
Naturalization can be had after five
years' residence, the same as in the
United States; but tile Spaniards in the
Island, who, up to April, 1900, had not
registered as Spanish subjects, may be
come Cuban citizens on declaration, and
without having to wait the five years’
period for naturalization. However, only
native-born Cubans will be eligible to the
presidency, to the Senate and to posi
tions on the Supreme Court.
There is one exception to the eligibility
to the presidency. Any one not a native
born Cuban, who fought ten years in the
Cuban revolutionary army, is eligible
■This is for the benefit of Maximo Gomez,
who was born in Santo Domingo. There
was a long struggle in the convention
and a bitter one, because some of the
members wanted to exclude Gen. Gomez,
but they were finally compelled to yield.
The old General Is now living quietly in
Havana. He has often said that he
would be satisfied to see Cuba free anil
independent, and wanted no office In the
republic; but It is not believed he will re
fuse to become a candidate for the pres
idency, when the popular movement in
his behalf has become strong enough.
Gen. Gomez is opposed by those who do
not want a military chief to fill the ex
ecutive office, and also by some on
the ground of personal enmity.
Estrada Palma, who was for lime
president of the Cuban revolutionary re
public during the Ten Years’ War, Is an
other prospective candidate. He was tfie
president of the Cuban Junta In New
York, and its leading spirit in securing
American Intervention during the last In
surrection. He Is now living in the Unit
ed States and has not visited Cuba since
Spanish sovereignty was destroyed, but
his friends have been waiting an oppor
tune moment to bring him to the Island.
There is a possibility of the conserva
tive Cubans uniting on Bartoiome Muso
as their candlate. He livec in Manza
nillo, in the province of Santiago, nnd is a
sugar planter. He took part In the Ten
Years’ War, and was for a time vice
president of the Cuban revolutionary gov
ernment In the last insurrection. He has
the respect of the Spaniards, and In the
United States would be called the “busi
ness men’s candidate.’* Salvador Cisneros,
Gen. Betancourt, the Marquis of Santa
Lucia, who served as president of the rev
olutionary government In the Ten Years’
War and In the last insurrection. Is also a
possible candidate. He Is noted for his
extreme • Ideas regarding independence.
Mendez Capote, the presiding officer of
the convention, Is considered a possibility,
in case the young men should gain con
trol. He was identified with the insur
gent government In the last Insurrection,
and is a lawyer.
Should a colored man be selected. Juan
Oualberto Gomez would probably be the
man. He was educated In Spain and | n
France, and Is noted as an author, news
paper writer and orator. He was exiled
to the penal settlement of Ceuta by Spain
during the last insurrection, having been
made a pflsoner when the revolt broke
out. However, though the race of color
constitutes one-third of the population of
Cuba, and has to be considered in the
affairs of the island, it is not likely to
press a candidate of Its own for president.

A New Scheme to Aid Defectives In
Identlfyina < rlmlnala.
From Pearson’* Magazine.
Everyone knows that, thanks to the
great Parisian criminal expert. M. Ber
tillon, a criminal who fall* Into the
clutches of the law more than once
stands absolutely no chance of hiding his
Identity If his meastiremeista have been
taken by the anthrojiometrlcal system
But a* every criminal also knows when
he le at large this sywtem Is practically
useless to hi* pursuers; the detective can
not measure the length of a man’s middle
linger In a erowd or take an Impression
of hi# thumb Vet once again the ge
niue of M. Mertlllon ts-i* triumphed over
the Identification difficulty, and he has
come forward with a system which ap
proaches very near perfection.
"la Portrait Parle," aa M. BertlUon
retie his method, consists la form of a
card that may he carried In the pocket,
as wtilrh ere noted down those cherat ter*
Istics that have the most fixity in the in
dividual and the most variability In dif
ferent people. "The anithropometrlcal
system," said M. Rertillon, when discuss
ing the subject with me, "necessitate* the
detention of the criminal, whose measure
ments are taken with the akl of compaafs,
but the verbal portrait which elms at the
criminal at liberty may be applied un
known to him and from a distance,
"This description, based on a knowledge
of human anatomy, anyone can master
with a little preliminary study, and it is
cf so much precision that it applies sole
ly to the person tt represents, to the ex
clusion of all others, it Is composed, foi
each Individual, of from ten to fifteen dis
tinctive signs, which should always be
borne in mind by an officer in search of
a law-breaker. The verbal description lias
the advantage over a photograph In that

hour and transmitted by telegraph or tele
phone."
Examining a verbal potratl. we And
that it is divided into three chapters. The
first deals with the color of the eye, hair
and face, the second with the character
istics of the forehead, nose, right ear and
build of body the third with an analysis
if the prolile and face.
it does not necessarily follow that he
cause the chapters are arranged in this
order the detectives will apply them in
the same order to his criminal. When
looking for ids man he carries In his mind
only tile most rharactertstlc feature* —the
fixed features, such as the eyes, nose,
forehead or ear. These the criminal can
not ulter at will, but he may dye the col
or of his hair or tile complexion of his
face; ho may hide his mouth under false
hair or disguise Ills build of body by pad
ding his clothes or til other ways. There
fore the officer carries in his mind a kind
of caricature of the peraon to be recog
nized, concerning himself at first with
only the most exaggerated features and
taking no heed of those which would be
described as average. Everyone knows
now easy It Is to recognize some well
known personage from a caricature,
which is far superior to the best photo
graphs for this purpose.
SKI FF.RHIKS.
t|ueer Transit for Miners of Ihe He
aton Across the Yoiighlutf lirn >
Hirer.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The sky ferry may not have been in
vented by the Yough River miners, but
they have recognized it as a good thing,
and half a dozen of these novel transpor
tation mschlnes ply the river, lo the as
tonishment of passengers on passing
trains, who stare out of the windows of
the cars at the sight of a man flying
across the stream, suspended in a small
cage, which travel on a wire cable
stretched from one shore to the other.
The sky ferry at CoultersvlUe was one
of the first to be built across the Yough
and it dates back to about 1890, when
Enoch Johns, John Taylor, Jomes Har
kins, James Conroy, Murray Dice, Em
met Price, Hugh McDermott atid Herman
Elioler formed a a to. k company and built
a machine. The mechanism of the affair
Is simple, and consists of a cage suspend
ed from two traveling wheels, which run
along a one-inch steel cable stretched
from bank to bank, and tightened by
means of a simple windlass built of tim
bers. The case will rarry four passen
gers, and the propelling power of the
ferry is furnished by a windlass, which
is turned by the passenger and winds up
a light line, carrying the cage across the
stream.
The ferry at Coultersviile Is a *took
company concern, to swhich any miner
may become a partner by paying $2 for a
key. There are several hundred keys out
now anil the ferry gives general satisfac
tion. Since the Coultersviile ferry was
built other ferries have been built at Os
ceola. Robbins and Shaner. while at Scott
Haven there is a steam ferry, which does
a big business and runs day and night.
The sensation of swinging out over the
river in one of these ferries is rather
startling, as the machine start* out from
the bank with a swoop thut carries it
half way across, or to the lowest part
of the slack of the cable. Then the trav
eler has to wind up the windlass to reach
the other shore. No accident has ever
happened on any of these ferries, but at
Coultersviile they tell a story of a miner
who, after an argument with his wife,
in which he was "getting the worst of it,”
escaped to the ferry, threw off the wind
lass line and allowed the machine to coast
to the middle, where he wa* safe.
According" to the story, and It loses
nothing in telling, the woman bombarded
him with stones for an hour, but a wo
man wa* never noted for her accuracy in
throwing stones, and the man laughed at
her invitation to come nshore and take
his licking like a man. Then n new factor
in the case turned up as a group of hun
gTy miners reached the shore, and those
on shore were unabie to reach him. By

quickly produce* swelling lIASsKjiM
and inflammation with in- Vf/

of the skin. The eruption
soon disappear*, the *uf-
ferer hopes forever ; but
almost as soon as the little blisters and
pustules appeared the poison had reached
the blood, and will break out at regular
intervals and each time in a more aggra
vated form. This poison will loiter in the
system for years, and every atom of it
must be forced outwf the blood before you
can expect a perfect, permanent cure.
Natire’s ABiliate
Naiure’s Polssis,
is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com
posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don’t experiment longer with
salves, washes and soap* —-they never cure.
Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta
(Oa ) Gas Light Cos., waa poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took (sulphur Arsenic uud various
other drugs, anti applied externally uumeroui
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling mid inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle of 8. 8 6.. and
a few bottles cleared nii Wood of the poison, tad
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, end they will
cheerfully give such information and ad
vice as you require, without charge, and
we will send at the aame time an interest
