HE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Thn jropo-ed Cuban loan of (US,
000,0(1(1 is still commanding consider
able attention from the ollicials at
Washington. It has been lmliroctly
tbe occasion of a renew nl of the gos
sip in regard to nn extra session ()f
congress to be called in November
for tbe purpose of ratifying a treity
with Cuba and lias cause no little
anxiety in regard to Culia's future.
Tlie state department, in the abKcense
of Secretary Hay, referred the news
of the proponed loan to the treasury
department on the prounu that, being
a financial matter, it came under the
jurisdiction of the secretary of the
treasurer. Secretary Shaw, after
giving the matter some consideration
decided that be bad no jurisdiction
and returned the papers to the state
department, and it is now held that
the United States lias no authority in
tbe matter pending the ratification of
a treaty with Cuba which shall make
the provisions of tbe I'latt amend
ment binding on both parties.
In tlie meantime, Senor (Juesada,
the Cuban minister, has expressed
surprise and regret at the attitude
assumed by the press of this country
in regard to the loan. He says that
in the first place the law has, so far,
only passed tlie senate and still awaits
the action of the bouse and the sig
nature of the president. Moreover,
bo regards it as extraordinary that
the friends of Cuba should assume
that her government would act on
other than business principles. He
says that if the loan is finally negoti
ated provisions will have Im'ch made
lor the payment of the interest and
the setting aside of a sinking fund.
He believes that a part of the loan
scheme includes the assessment of an
internal revenue tax, similar to the
war revenue tax recenly collected by
the United States, and by that means
sufficient funds will be raised to make
the loan a sound business proposition.
Mr. Quesada contends that the busi
ness interests of Cuba will be served
by the negotiation of the loan, that
assistance can thereby be rendered to
the sugar planters and a large sum of
money will bo placed in circulation
which will make for the general
prosperity. While the minister is
too diplomatic to put it in just these
words, his position is largely this:
The United States has refused to
Cuba the reciprocal concessions for
which she asked and lias said to lier,
"We have done enough for you.
Now shift for yourself." Cuba is
now preparing to shift for herself
along lines that her best statesmen
regard as advisable, and it seems
peculiar that the United States should
step in and attempt to interfere with
the plans they adopt as for tbe best
interest of Cuba.
It is regarded as extremely likely
that the president will call the senate
in extra session and that he will pre
sent for ratification a treaty which
will confirm the provisions of the
Piatt amemdinent and at the same
time muke the tariff concessions on
Cuba imports which lie advocated at
the last session. On the other hand,
Senator Burrows has made it known
that be does not regard it as within
the power of the senato to modify the
existing tariff schedules without the
concurrence of tlie house and that
fact is likely to receive the careful
consideration of the president before
any deeesive action is taken.
There is current a report to the
eili-ct that Mr. Roosevelt will reverse
the policy of President McKinley
and will lend tbe assistance of the
administration to Mr. Addicks of
Delaware in his efforts to become a
senator from that state. So far it has
been impossible to secure any posi
tive cuiilimation of the story but it is
evident that the republican organiza
tion is in serious straits in that state.
Unless Mr. Addicks and Col. l;ipont
tuvive ut a will. 'incut of their dill'cr
ences in the near furture it is feared
that tlie democrats may secure tbe
control of the Icgi-lature and possibly
send two democrat.; to the senate.
Jn view of so serious a situation, it is
po-.il ie that tlie president may de
cide that the good of the party as a
whole demands that he render such
ti-sistuiice to the friends of Mr. Ad
dicks as will secure bin election.
The report w as erd out, one day last
uei k, that Senator Scott of West
V'.re i'liit had beet! deputed to sllp--pui-i
the contest of Mr. Addicks, but
tie- senator denies that, nevertheless,
the eliieiuU in Washington regard it
ii.i i xlieniely likely t tint the fear of
Iw.iie.i; two si'lmtuts to the del; Hie I a I

The recent troubles in San Domingo
and Haiti have caused a renewal of
the discussion of the advisability of
purchasing the Islands for naval
stations for the Unitud Stales. Haiti
especially is of great strategic value
and Is made doubly so by the determ
ination to construct the isthmian
canal by the Panama route. Haiti
is nearer to that canal than Cuba or
Porto Rico and the island has one
remarkably good harbor and another
which would prove available. With
well stocked coaling stations In tlie
Danish West Indies and Haiti, the
United States would, in the opinion
of naval experts, hold the key to the
Curribbean sea and would be In a
position to piotect her interests
against all comers. Kver since (Irani
was president, there has been more
or less talk of purchasing these
Islands and during the administra
tion of President McKinley the sub
ject received considerable considera
tion lmt was crowded off the tapis by
more important and pressing events.
It is, however, likely to be brought
to the attention of congress during
the administration of President
Koosvelt.
President Roosevelt has just issued
an order which will endear him to
many wives and mothers in the
country. He has ordered that tbe
nmnfflof killed or wounded privates
in the Philippines be cabled to this
country, as is now done in the ease
of officers. When Mr. Roosevelt in
quired why this was not done, he
was told that the custom bad not
been followed because of the expense,
but he said that regardless of expense
it must be done in the future. The
president expressed himself as feeling
that it was lu artless to keep the
wives and 'mothers of our soldiers in
suspense until reports could be re
ceived by mail. They learn that the
companies in which their sons or hus
bands are enlisted have been under
fire from the reports of officers injured
and then would be obliged to wait a
month to learn if those clear to them
had been hurt or killed and he could
not countenance economy under such
circumstances.
A Rare View
The Press next week will contain
a view of Broad street taken from
Centre Square showing the old Bu
chanan and Emerson houses, the
old building which stood on the site
of the present Hotel Fauchere, some
other old buildings along the street,
and the spire of tbe Presbyterian
church, also the Knob in the dis
tance. 1 ho bouses shown have all
now disappeared. The -view was
published in a bock entitled "His
torical Collections of Pennsylvania"
by Sher.nan Day printed in 1843 and
oontains the pioture from which the
view has been engraved. This work
is extremely rare and the view
shown is a curiosity as giving an
accurate picture of the appearance
of Broad street at least 60 years ago.
The work was kindly loaned to us
by Ex-County Commissioner Jas. H.
Heller, in whose family it bas beeu
for niauy years.
Any desiring copies of tbe Press
of the issue containing tbe cut please
leave orders not lat r than Wednes
day, Aug. 27th.
Jules Verne'a Prophecy
Jules Verne, that greatest of mod
ern prophets, whose fiction has de
lighted millions of readers, now
conies out with a prophecy that the
power of the newspaper will cause
the entire disappearance of the novel.
From another source, we might pass
this up, but when Monsieur Verne
makes a prediction, we mint pay
some heed to it. It is a fact that tlie
daily newspaper is replacing the
novel, and one may truthfully say
the magazine.

Australia Enf-anchisea Women
In Auatralia, the adult suffrage
bill has passod tbe senate without
one dissenting vote. This means
that at the noxt uat'onal elections
all the women in Australia will be
able to vote for members of both
houses of the federal parllment.
While Belgium has been having
riots and bloodshed over the effort
to establish the principle of "one
man, one vote," and finally failed
to secure it, Australia quietly goes
ahead and gives a vote in national
elections not ouly to every qualified
man, but to every qualified woman
as well.
Women have had school and mu
nicipal suffrage for many years
thronghout all the six Australian
colonies. In 1893 South Australia
gave them parlimontary suffrage
(i. e. the right to vote for membors
of the local parliament of that
colony), and in 1900 West Australia
did tbe same. Now that women are
to have national suffrage through
out Australia, it Is expected that
they will soon be given the right to
vote tor the loci! parliaments in the
four colonies where they are still
excluded from this privilege. In
these four Victoria, Queensland,
Tasmania and New South Wales
the position of women is now as
anomalous rs it would be in this
country if women could vote for
members of congress but not for
members of the state legislature.

Widen the Roads
The increasing number of automo
biles emphasizes the absolute necessi
ty of widening the roads and espec
ially of having them trimmed out.
In many places below here on the
river road and particularly below
Dingman's It is almost impossible
for teams to pass and much more
difficult when meeting an auto. The
brush and overhanging branches pre
vent seeing any distance a head and
at short turns in the highway one
could have no knowledge of the ap
proach of a machine unless by hear
ing it. The automobiles have come
to stay and their number will increase
here because of the fine roads and
delightful Venery. They have all
the rights of a vehicle and do not
frighten as do horses and It is there
fore Incumbent on supervisors for the
protection of those driving horses to
see that the roads meet, so far as
possible, the legal requirement. It
would not be practical perhaps to
materially widen the roads in one
season but it is entirely so to see that
the brush are cleared out and this in
many places would obviate consider
able of the difficulty.

The Philadelphia dally Press an

With nothing changed except the
