NO. 4.
THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
A joint resolution has been intro
duced In the Senate in vltiner Cuba to
join the American Union as a state.
Senator Newlands of Nevada is the
author of tlie resolution, which pro
vides further tlmt Porto Rico shall
become a eonntry of the state of
Cuba, nnd that the president and
vice president of the republic slmll
become the governor and nontenant
governor, and that the new loan
which Cuba Is about to make, shall
be raised by Issuing state bonds.
The advantages to Cuba of Joining
the Union are evident. She would
have free trade with this country,
and the receipts from her exports
would be nearly doubled, She is
now offering $35,000,000 of bonds at
6 per cent, at 90,' and finds difficul
ty in getting buyers. If they are
state bonds, guaranteed by the
United States, she could sell them
easily at 3 per cent. Mr. New-lands
gays that the present Is a good time
to make Cuba the offer, as the con
dition of the island is being discussed
by congress ; and that we should
make It plain to her that wo Invite
her to join os on absolute equality,
as a state. It would be union rather
than annexation, and she would be
one of us, and uot subject to us. lie
believes that the people of both
countries will realize that the argu
ment for onion is Irresistible. Texas
might be cited as a precedent.
The bill enacting the Cuban recip
rocity treaty passed the House by a
vote of 335"to 21. It is now in the
hands of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations and if the demo
crats do not attempt to filibuster,
the treaty ongt to be pnssod in time
to adjourn the extra session by
Thanksgiving, In the House the
democrats voted for the bill although
they took advantage of the debate to
make many eatnpaln tariff speech
es which they will soon be distrib
uting to their constitntents. They
denounced the "gag ruld" which
prevented them from introducing a
host of amendments and prolonging
the dobato indefinitely, but after
they were reminded that, when in
power, they adopted the same tao
ttos, they made threats of what they
would do when the House was again
demoorfttio. The bill will of course
pass the Senate, as two thirds of that
body voted for the treaty.
Although President Roosevelt
hopes that Senator Dietrich of
Nebraska wilt clear himself of the
charges of bribery and corruption
for which he is iudioted by the Fed
eral Grand Jury of Omaha, he re
fnsos to interfere in the senator's
behalf, even to the extent of placing
the case in the hands of another
district attorney. Senator Dietrich
is charged with receiving $1300 io
money and property as consideration
for indorsing the appointment of
laoob Fisher to be postmaster of
Hastings, Nebraska. It appears
that the senator put op a building
iu Hastings and had the local post
office transferred to it, from a build
ing owned by tha Grand Army. He
received less rent than he thought
he ought to get, and the Grand Army
regretted the loss of the office as
they had bought the post offioe fix
turea which were now useless to
them. A now postmaster was to be
appointed and Fisher promised that
if he received the position he would
buy the fixtures from the Grand
Army, and also pay Senator Dietrich
the difference between what be
asked and what he received as rout
for the office. The payment wan
made for several months until the.
senator, realizing the irregularity of
the agreement-, refunded the money
to Fisher. The penalty f jr receiv
ing illegal considerations in making
publio appointments, is two years
imprisonment, or'flO.OOOflno, and of
course expulsion from oGioe. Tlie
senator and h'S friends say that tlie
indictment is a politics! conspiracy
and that he will wivo Ida immunity
from arret, granted by the Const!
tution, tnd return to Omaha fur
triul, Lh.it J ana PU indictment was

of thanks was sent to tlie president
for pardoning a union man who was

According to the t.'rms of Hay-Banau-Varilla
treaty, just signed by
onr Secretary of Slate and the
Panama minister, the United States
is granted absolute Sovereignity over
a strip of land five mile wide on each
side of the canal, possession of sev
islands in its vicinity, with the right
to fortify these as well as the canal,
the right to preserve publio peace in
the cities of Panama and Colon and
to prescribe their sanitary ordin
ances. When necessary we may
use force to accomplish these ends
In return we guarantee the inde
pendence of the Republio of Pana
ma, pay her $10,000,000 at first and
$250,000 annually, beginuing nine
years from date of treaty. We are
to lmve A perpetual monopoly of all
means of transit across the isthmus,
either by railroad or canal.
A few hours after the treaty was
signed the Panama commissioners
arrived in Washington, They ex
pressed satisfaction with the terms
of the document and one of them
will take it to Panama for ratifica
tion. It is expected that the treaty
will be approved by the now repub
lio about December 10. It will then
tie sent to the Somite for ratification.
The republicans need two democratic
votes to get A two-thirds majority
required for the approval of the
treaty, but as nearly the whole
country, including some of the larg
est democratic papers are supporting
the administration, and the South
especially is anxious for a canal,
many of the democratic senators
will vote for the treaty, thus insur
ing its ratification. Senator Bacon
explained the position of the minor
ity senators, by saying that while
they condemned the action of the
president in hia hasty recognition of
the new republic, they would not
allow themselves to be placed on
record as in opposition to the canal,
In other words, they wonld like to
attack the Administration, but they
know which side the people are on,
and dare not.
General Reyes the Colombian
peace commissioner says he is com
ing to Washington to arrange affairs
amicably, and that unless a Biitis-
fuctory agreement is made, Colombia
will fight, and we shall have a Boer
War on our hands. The threat will
not have much weight with the
administration but it is believed that
we will offer Columbia- a flunucial
idemnity for her losses through the
revolution. The European govern
ments are to recognizo Panama but
say that she should assume a reason
able portion of Colombia's debt
which amounts to $15,000,000.

Making Cottage Cheese
A toothsome and nutritous article
of food is made of Bonr milk or
buttermilk by allowing the casein to
coagulate by the aid of heat. A
considerable number of products,
locally distinct and different in the
degree of dryness of the curd, are
made in this way. The general
process of manufacture Is to take
sour buttermilk or skimmed milk
which has coagulated, heat it gently
from 85 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit,
according to the clrcutnstanoes, and
drain off the whey through a oloth
strainer. Then reduce the texture
of the resulting ourd by kneading
with the hands or a pestle ; salt is
added, and the product is improved
by the addition of a small quantity
of cream or but ter. Some persons
consider it an improvement to season
by the use of one of the oommon
spices, ns nutmeg, oaraway, etc It
is largely made only for domestic
consumption, but In most cities and
villages, especially during the
summer months, there is a consid
erable demand for fresh cheese of
this sort, and its manufacture is
often a source of revenue to factories
suitably located. It is usually sold
and eaten in a fresh state, but it
may be subjected to certain pro
cesses, which quite materially
chango its character and which vary
widely in different localities. This
simple kind of cheese is also called
Dutch cheese, cottage oheese and
schmiorkaso. Extract from U. S.
Farmers' Bulletin.
Short Courses in AgTicultur
Aftera suspension of four years tho
Pennsylvania State College has re
sumed the short courses in agricul
ture. They continue twelve weeks.
Instruction is divided into c'ass
rooiu and practieiitu work. The
former is given by meaus of lectures
and text books and the latter in the
laboratories, shops, creamery and
barns. Tho sooe of instruction
covers such subjects as manures
and fertilizers, how to manufacture
and apply to crops, farm imple
ments and machinery and furm
management generally. It also
treats of plants, stock feeding, vet
erinary science, horses and cattle
and is intended to thoroughly equip
a young man to take charge of and
manage a furm with its diversified
requirements. Tho course is quite
inexpensive and would bo of inesti
mable bent lit to any young loan
who puip...-s intiVlng farming a

PLANTING SHADE TREE3
A Method by Which Farmers may
Beautify their Places and Pay
Part of their Rond 7 i x ....
Farmers may ovef.ook the fact
that an act of assembly provides for
a rebate in road taxes of any one
who may plant trees along the road
sides. They may bo fruit, shade or
forest trees of suitable size planted
along roads which run throngh or
adjoin cultivated fields. Tho Bet
says the supervisor shall allow an
abatement of one dollar for every
two trees set out, and the same for
any tree growing naturally by the
side of publio highways whore same
rnns through cultivated lands, but
the abatement shall not be more
than one quarter of the annual road
tax. The act also provides a penolty
for any one who cats down or in
jures any such trees or who suffers
a horse or other animals driven by
him to injure any such trees. Farms
would be vastly Improved in appear
ance if the highways through thorn
were lined with trees. They would
afford a grateful shade, would aot
as wind breaks in winter and, if
fruit trees were planted would be a
source of protlt. By selecting a
proper variety of tree gnch as furn
ish a succession of frnits from early
spring until lato fall the birds valu
able to the farm as robins, cat birds,
thrushes, cedar birds, blue birds,
and wood peckers would be fed and
induced to turn for their food from
the cultivated plants to those of less
value. Birds are of inestimable
value to the farmer as insect de
stroyers and by Hn tree planting
method the farmer would not only
be protecting his crops but he would
also obtain a tax rebate which would
pay for all his wort in planting
trees. Now is a good time to set
out trees.
One Body Recovered
The body of Miss Leni Gebhardt,
who was drowned November 18th,
was found last Sunday Bfternoon on
the head of ad Island just above the
Vannoy place. It was lying on the
shore some twenty feet from "the
water. The head was down stream
and tho body was lying on its book
with arms extended. Intheonehand
were two five cent plooos which the
girl evidently had ready to pay her
fare when she was thrown in the
water. Dynamite had been freely
used in tho wreckage of the Barret
bridge aud at other points along the
river in the vain hope that the
bodies might be found and these
efforts proving unavailing the
search pnrtlos come on down the
river with the result above given.
Though persistent search has been
made all the way from Matamoras
down below Milforl tho body of
Lizzie Schumacker, who was drown
ed at the same time, has not been
fouud.

TRIMMING TREES
While thors is Leisure it may be
Profitable to Spend Some Time
in Trimming Trees
A standard rnlo in pruning trees
9 to "Trim when the leaves are off
to promote growth of wood, and
trim when in leaf to check woody
growth." Pruning may be done as
well this month as at any time later
n the winter, ant it will be muoh
better for the trees. Those that
are trimmed now will carry loss ioe
and snow in winter and will be less
tossed by wintry winds and conse
quently loss broken. The effect of
winds, ice, sleet and snow is often
very disastrous on fruit trees, as it
was daring the past season. Not
only is their yiold reduced, but
diseases and some kinds of insects
enter later where the branches were
split nnd the bark broken. The
trees are weakened so they become
proper subjects for the work of that
neradioable frnit pest, the shot-hole
borer or bark beetle. Trim now and
preserve the vitality of the trees,
avoid loss by winter ioe and winds,
avoid the formation of places for
insects and fungi to enter, and in
sure the better prospects for a good
crop next year. This is the kind of
advice that "is oheaper," but try it
on at least a portion of the orohard
for a a few years and Dote the dif
ference in results from those trees
trimmed in the fall and those
trimmed in the spring.
