Secretary Koot has received no copy
of the Cuban constitution as adopted,
the copy received being furnished by

Its present form.
Havana, .lime 1. The props deplores
the misunderstanding with the Wash
ington government, but generally ad
mits the possibility of a wrong con
struction being pin. upon the Piatt
amendment by the explanations and
Interpretations, and that it will be
best for the convention to lake up
the intention Immediately and accept
th amendment passed by congress.

th. people favor this, but tho dcle
gat' s are at a loss what to do. Some

ing in good faith, as It was most Ini
prol able that the Washington nllthor
ies did pot know what the conven
tion wnu doing and what was the ne
ttue of the report to h? submitted,
Tuoy further say that a maturity of
the omniittee on relations told them
that the amendment as accepted
would be satisfactory to the United
Slat".1-, and that they had the assur
ance of fleneial Wood and Secretary
I toot to this effect. The members of
the committee on lelatlons will say
nothing: regarding this point other
thill they, loo, thought it would ha
satisfactory.
Secret sessions and absent steno
graphcrs make il Impossible for even
the delegates themselves to set things
aright.
Regarding the controversy which
will sini'ly arise Inter, as to who s

the responsibility on the committee,
and they. It Is said, will blame Gen
eij'l Wood and Secretary Hoot. All
i (Tori Is being made today by some of
the I'ouxorvutlvos to avoid this crisis
by asking the convention lo adjourn
for a mnn'h. and In the mean lime
have the municipalities petition the
convention to pass the original
amendment. Several municipalities
have already taken that action, anil It
Is thniieht that others will fall into

The State Department Receives an
Important Communication Re-
pardlna Our Trade with France.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS
Consul Gettan, of Nantes, Notes
the Remarkable Development of
the Trade in American Machinery.
Satisfaction Is Given by All Ma
chinery Made in the United States.
Harvesting Implements Are Espe
cially Popular Fastest Time Is
Made by the Locomotives Manu
factured in This Country.
Ity Kicln-ije Win- from The A,cljted l'ie-.
Washington, June 2. In a communi
cation to the state department, regard
ing trade with France, Consul Gettan.
of Nantes, notes the development of
the trade In American machinery In
Western France. During the past sea
son, he says, about SO)) reapers, mow
ers and horse hny-rukes arrived at that
port. American mowers give good sat
isfaction, and the increased prices
asked for farm labor will stimulate the
sale of such machinery In the future.
The American mower was a common
sight In the hay ileitis last summer. In
regard to the advantage gained by ex
hibiting machines, tho consul says:
"Last month a representative of a
New EnRlnwl factory made an exhibi
tion of meat choppers In one of the
Nantes stores, and during the after
noon sold about twenty of various
sizes. The Nantes house has since sold
more than 200 of these machine?.
"If some company were to make an
exhibit of wringers, and show their
working, I am satlslied It would be
found a prolltable enterprise. There
are no wringers sold or offered for sale
herewith the exception of a few heavy
Kngllsli machines. Consul Covert, of
Lyons, says:
"The houses of this district, which
some years ago furnished line French
hardware to the I'nlted States, have
almost entirely lost that trade within
the last two decades, and they are en
abled to hold their own market here'
only by a protective tariff. American
stoves, base burners and smaller heat
ing stoves Ibid a steady market here,
the French make being unable to re
place them.
"American saws and other wood
cutting instruments are pronounced
the best' in the world, because Ameri
cans are the greatest wood-using peo
ple. American wrenches are seen In
some stores, but the German article is
the most common, on account of Its
cheapness. Agricultural Implements of
American pattern bearing an American
name are met with In every county
fail', and are highly prized. Farmers
tell me. that they prefer to buy the Ohio
or Illinois harvesting' and haying ma
chines, notwithstanding the Increased
cost.'
East Time on Railroads.
"Consul Tourgeo, of Bordeaux, says:
'The fastest time made by a. railway, it
is said, is on tho road between this city
and Bayonne, where a run of VS.) miles
Is made every day in 128 minutes. It
Is quite to the credit of American me
chanles that the honor of making this
run Is accorded to American locomo
tives. "
The consul notes, as a curious fact,
that one of the chief exports from Bor
deaux to the United Slates consists of
preserved alimentary products, which
are grown In the greatest abundance
in the I'nlted States, and are often
of much superior quality. Prominent
among these are canned or bottled peas
and string beans. There Is not a par
ticle of difference between them and
the products of American gardens,
continues Mr. Tom-ego, except that the
French beans and peas are of the
smallest varieties, and are put up while
they are hut half matured and very
soft: nlso, they are packed with great
attention to artistic effect. The cans
are not filled by machinery and the
vegetables are not handled with a
scoop shovel; everything Is done by
hand, and the wages of the girls who
do this work depend as much on tho
appearance of the bottles as on th"
number tilled,

sliding movement of the city ot Butte

AVest Galena street, where a crack
twelve inches wide and of consider

Three of these openings occur In the

Washington, June L'. Airs. AIcKlu
ley continues very weak, ller condi
tion Is not greatly changed from that
of yesterday, but each day that
elapses without a gain In strength les
M'"is her powers of recuperation. The
complaint which came near ending
her life In San Francisco Is still pres
ent. It Is In. a slightly less aggravated
foim, hut gives the physicians and the
president much concern. Airs: Ale
Klnley has shown remarkable vitality
bill her Illness has so reduced her
strength as to leave her very feeble
indeed. It Is feared that unless n.
rhange for the better soon manifests
itself her strength may become so ex
hausted as to leave her without rally
ing powers. Tlie news given out by
the physicians In attendance today
was not reassuring, though hope of
belter things still continue?. After a
consultation between T)rs. Ulxey,
Sternberg and Johnston, the followliiK
bulletin was issued:
".Mrs. AIcKinley passed n comfort
able night, but her condition bus not
materially changed since the report:
of yesterday."
Th"ie were no further consultations
of the physicians during the day, but
Ur. Ilixey called during- the evening
and spent some time with the patient,
In 1 espouse to ImiuirleM from time to
time, the statement was made that
there had been no change In the con
dition of the distinguished sufferer.
President AIcKinley spent most of
the day at the bedside of bis wife,
though lale In the afternoon he went
out for an hour's drive. He departed
alone, hut niel Judge Watson, of
Ohio, an old friend, on the way, and
the latter accompanied him to the
white house.
There were many callers at the
while house during; the day and even
ing, making anxious Iiuiulries regard
ing Airs. AloKinloy's condlllon. Willi
few exi options, they simply left their
eaids. after being assured by the
doorkeepers that there was 110 change
lu Alls. AIcKinley's condlllon.
Doctors Itlxey and Slernbeig both
were In attendance at the while house
dining the evening, although the lat
ter vlld not remain very long. Dr.
Ttixey was al the mansion for over
two hours, and when he left for the
night, shortly before II, o'clock, he
nrnouuc'il that at that time Mrs. AIc
Kinley was resting comfortably, dm
she had done all the afternoon.
Senator Klklns called on the presi
dent during the evening and was with
him about fifteen minutes-.
