THE CUBAN SITUATION.
prill Objecting to Plntt Amendment.
Havana Firemen Present Hat
chet to Gen. Wood.
Havana, March 15.— The Committee on
Fore gin Relations held another private
meeting this afternoon. Senor de Que
zada, one of the members, says the com
mittee agreed unanimously that the Platt
amendment in its present form could not
be accepted, and that a report to this
effect will be submitted to the Constitu
tional Convention. He also asserts that
the committee is assured of the support
of twenty-eight delegates.
Monday next the committee will meet
again, when individual opinions on the
question will be filed, to be incorporated
later into the final report. The intention
of the committee is not to make a final
report for some time, but Senor de Que
zada declares that this delay will not
weaken the determination of Its members
pot to accept the Platt amendment as It
stands.
Xho commercial firemen's organisation
representing some of the best families in
Havana, has presented to Gov. Gen.
Y.’ood a fireman’s hatchet, inlaid with
K old and a diploma certifying to his
election as chief of the corps. The pre
sentation is significant of the present
feeling among the conservative element.
At the top of the diploma appears the
.American eagle with outspread wings,
and below is an American flag winding
rbout the coat of arms of the United
States and Cuba. The design evidently
signifies a protectorate. A reception fol
lowed the presentation.

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
To Be Greatest System of Southwest.
Many Railroads to Be Under
Its Control.
Chicago. March 15.—The Tlmes-Herald
to-morrow, will say:
Events of the past few weeks have
made it certain that the Missouri Pacific
is shortly to be made the greatest sys
tem of the Southwest. With the Missouri
Pacific as the nucleus a system will be
built up and placed under one manage
ment, extending from Bnftalo to New
Orleans. El Paso and Salt Hake City.
Such Is the plan which is being worked
out by the Gould family, and it is equal
to the boldest scheme projected by the
late Jay Gould.
The latest evidence in this respect is
the announcement that the Goulds have
acquired control of the 'Denver and Rio
Grande, and will soon have the Rio
Grande Western. It is a|s o
understood that the Pa
cific now has control of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which ex
tends from St. Louis via Parsons and
Dallas, to Galveston, and that the ’Fris
co, extending from St. Louis south to
Paris and southwest to Oklahoma will
soon be acquired by the Goulds.
By these purchases the Missouri Pa
cific' will not only extend its western
limit to Ogden, hut will occupy the
mountain passes to on extent that will
make it difficult for other roads to se
cure ingress on a profitable footing.
The Missouri Pacific is In close rela
tions with the Union Pacific and other
properties under syndicate control, and
will, therefore, be in a position to work
harmoniously west from Salt Lake City
to El Paso. Mr. Gould's present Western
trip and inspection of railroad properties
is said to be the concluding preparation
for the unification of this great South
western system. This condition would
make a system covering 15,816 miles.

Says Cons tractor Bowles.
Washington, March 15.—Secretary Long
to-day signed the papers doing away
with sheathing of a large number of
warships, as foreshadowed in his state
ment yesterday. In this connection Con
structor Bowles’ recommendations on the
subject were made public.

and that the application of it to ships
abroad has developed defects that have
resulted in its abandonment by at least
one country whose naval expansion is
parallel to our own.

" food and wisdom,
Brain Wnrkera Learn the Secret.
Ambitious students who study hard
and try their best to gain an education,
frequently give down under the pressure
and are greatly disappointed when they
find they cannot carry out the cherished
desire of their Hfe.
This result Is nearly always caused by
the lack of the right kind of food to
make up the waste caused by excessive
brain work.
The average student does not know
how to select the right kind of food, but
a food expert has been at work and has
produced a food especially Intended to
nourish and rebuild the brain and the
nerve centers throughout the body. This
food Is known at Grape-Nuts.
A student, Rosa Scott, of Kenoma, Mo.,
says: ‘‘l was very ambitious to succeed
at school, and started under favorable
circumstances with good health and
used what Is generally supposed to be
good, substantial articles of food, such
as meat, vegetables, etc.
“I worked hard and soon became troub
led with distress in ray stomach. I noticed
a confusion of thought add inability to
memorize. I found It almost Impossible
to study in the condition I was in, and
resorted to medicine, but that did not re
lieve me of my suffering, and I seemed
to grow worse. I was In despair until
one day a friend, who had passed through
a similar experience, told me to stop
using medicine, and In place of ordinary
food use Grape-Nuts Food. He said It
contained certain, elements necessary to
rebuild the worn out tissues of both
body and brain, and positively assured
me that If I would use the food, I would
get Well and be able to go on with my
work.
"It seemed too good to be true, and I
at once began the use of Grape-Nuts
Food, with an egg for breakfast. For
the midday meal I used four heaping
tenspoonful* with some cream or milk
and nothing else. Then for the evening
meal I used Orape-Nuts and fruit. Right
from the beginning, my sufferings were
not so great, and gradually my strength
returned, and I could see that my brain
was regaining Its former activity.
"These favorable symptoms continued
until I was entirely relieved from my
trouble, and am now stronger than I ever
was before. Can study ten or twelve
hours a day with results that I feel are
a credit to myself.
"I would like lo have students all over
the world know of the powerful proper
tie* contained In Grape-Nut* Food as
compared with any ordinary diet."
This aort of experience teaches plainly
the fact that there Is ovary thing In the
•election of food If on* desire* to work
hard and make a success In this world
There Is probably no food known that Is
as perfect for the rebuilding of tho body
and brain as Orapo-Nuta. i

OUR BIG GOLD HOLDINGS.
Gross Gold in Treasury (482,13,A28.
Figures Break All Previous
BecOrds,
Washington, March 15.—The groan gold
In the treasury yesterday amounted to
8482,913,023, compared with 8416,218,209 at the
same period last year. Yesterday’s fig
ures break all records. The increase in
the gold holdings of the department dur
ing the year is $66,694,814. At the depart
ment it is said the prospect that the gold
holdings will continue to Increase ut the
rate of probably $5,000,000 a month, until
the new revenue law goes into effect.
The amendments to this law will reduce
treausry receipts, it is thought, about $40,-
000,000 a year, but Treasurer Roberts
thinks that this will only serve to check
the growth of the gold holdings. He does
not believe that the decrease in l the re
ceipts will diminish the amount of gross
gold.

New York. March 15.—R. G. Dun &
Cb.’s Weekly Review of Trade to-mor
row will say:
improving wheat crop reports, a plg-
Iron production seldom exceeded, strong
cash prices for all Iron and steel products
that can be delivered, heavy grain exports
at good prices, activity in minor indus
tries and a motley market that Imposes
no hardship upon business, comprise the
bright side of the picture of the week.
Threatening labor troubles seem more
remote. The textile markets, long back
ward, have again failed to respond to
the general confidence in commercial cir
cles. . A slight recoverey In cotton was
not held, and the goods market shows a
decline In a month from 594 to 514 cents in
standard brown sheetings, 22 to 21 cents
in wide sheetings, 5% to 5*4 cents in
brown drills, and 5% to 5*4 cents in staple
ginghams.
Steel mills are still much behind their
orders, and contracts for Bessemer pig
for July delivery indicate that the activ
ity is not considered temporary. Yet
the wide difference in quotation between
immediate and distant dates suggests
some fear that present high prices can
not be maintained. While the various
pools and asosclations are extremely con
servative about advancing nominal list
prices, actual business continues to be
transacted at premiums which vary ac
cording to the urgency of purchasers.
Structural material is still a feature,
and the rapid development of newly dis
covered oil fields is creating an unusual
dotnand for plates, pipes and drilling
machinery. Steel rail contracts have been
Increased, and railways need rolling
stock.

In this country and the trifling response at
Liverpool was brief. Predlbtlons of a vis
ible supply of only 260,000 hales at the end
df the crop year, and requirements ex
ceeding 10,000,000 bales, are not Indorsed
b)r the course of domestic spin
ners, who have materially reduced
their takings, or by the heavily de
creased foreign demand. Moreover, the
eatlmate that the current yield would not
exceed 9,750,000 bales is open to question
lh view of the amount already in sight,

Fort Meade, 8. D.—Just as soon as pos
sible this spring the New York Museum
of Natural History will resume the ex
cavation work of the bones found on this
military reservation, which bekmg to art
extinct animal known as the dinosaur, or
lizard. The bones Were discovered last
fall by a member of the Geological Sur
vey of the United Slates. The expedi
tion sent out by the New York Museum
excavated a number of the bone*. Some
of the smaller one* have been shipped
Best. The largest bones will remain
where discovered. They have been in
eased in plaster of pAri* and thick paper
to prevent them from crumbling by the
frosts of winter. The large bones are
very heavy and brittle, being impregnated
with iron and silica.
Prof. Welland, one of the greatest au
thorities on fossil bones of this kind, af
ter carefully examihlhg those found on
this reservation, declares that they were
left there at leant 2,000,000 yesrs ago. One
of the largest bones exposed is a femur,
which is ten feet long, and the smallest
diameter I* twelve inches. It is very
heavy, and will probably have to be re
moved In sections. Ikines of a smaller
animal of the same specie* have been
found In the same place Prof. Welland
estimates that the length of the longer
one watt eighty feet and the shorter one
six feel. Almost all of the bones have
been located, and It Is believed that It
will bs passible to get enough of them
to mount at the museum both animals
completely.
There will be several carloads of bone*
when all of them have- been collected.
Home of th* smaller ones Have already
been sent to the tosva Slat* Normal
School at Cedar Falla, lowa, and the
State School of Mines of South Dakota
ha* also received a good collection. Thl

In the Bad Lands east of the hills 150

The Rules of Life Written at Twes
jj-Feor,
From the ledger Monthly.
The vault In the dilapidated little grave
yard opposite New Orleans where the body
of John McDonogh, known to American
history as an eccentric philanthropist,
was first laid, was kept In order for
years after the removal of McDotiogh’s
remains. A faithful negro who had been
one of McDonogh’s slaves for years at
tended to this. Chiseled In the stone of
the vault are the following rules, which
McDonogh formulated when he was but
24 years of age, for the guidance of his
life:
"Remember always, that labor ts one of
the conditions of our existence.
"Time Is gold; throw not one minute of
it away, but place each one to account.
“Do unto all men as you would be done
by.
"Never bid another do what you can do
yourself.
“Never put off till to-morrow what you
can do to-day.
“Never think any matter so trivial as
not to deserve notice.
"Never covet what is not your own.
“Never give out that which does not
first come In.
"Never spend but to produce.
“Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.
“Study In the course of your life to do
the greatest possible amount of good.
“Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort hut live In an honorable
simplicity and frugality.
“Labor, then, to the last moment of
your existence.
“Pursue strictly the above rules,and Di
vine blessing and rlehes of every kind will
flow upon you to your heart's content;
but, first of all. remember that the first
and great study of your life should be to
tend by all the mean In your power to
the ho.ior and glory of the Divine Crea
tor.
"The conclusion at which I have arrive !
Is that without temperance there Is no
health, without virtue no order, without
religion no happiness, and the sum of our
being Is to live wisely, soberly and right
eously.”
Reflections of Bachelor.
From the New Tork Press.
Every great man was once a solitary
child.
A woman trusts all the men she loves;
a man loves all the Women he trusts.
A woman never feels perfectly sure of
going to heaven till she has once had all
her hair drop out.
From the descriptions In the papers of a
chtlrch wedding, .you might think the
bridegroom wore nothing at all.
During the first ten years of her life, a
woman teaches herself to be happy; the
next ten the world and her mother tsach
her to be miserable.
