WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Oar Regular uorresponueni.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 29, 1902.
To the intense relief of persons familiar
with the interior Workings of the White
House and the State Department the Presi
dent has yielded to the strong pressure
brought to bear on him by the Secretaries
of State and War and has foregone the
pleasure of arbitrating the differences be
tween Venezuela and the foreigu Powers.
The iuvitation of Germany and Great Brit
ain to arbitrate their claims ho flattered the
President that for sotue time his better
judgmeut was obscured and it seemed that,
in om'ta of th nrntfrs rf Mucjpu II iv find
Root and many of the republican senators,
he would accept the position. So emphatic,
however, were tho arguments against such
a Contso, almost every republican newspa
per protesting, that he was obliged to yield
and It uow appears that tha troubles of
Venezuela will be adjudicated by the Hague
Tribunal.
Through the enterprise of a metropolitan
daily paper the terms of the Cub.ui treaty
hare ben madd public aud have excited
both aduiiratiou and criticism. To thone
members of Uougress wno represent ine
manufacturing interests or trie .bast ins
convention alfords the utmost satisfaction,
but to those who represent agricultural con
stituencies it is the occasion of worry and
anxiety. Following the usual custom of
his party, Secretary Hiy has secured the
most signal advantages for the manufactu
ring aud other vested interests, to the dis
advantage of the agriculturists while man
ufactured siik, witches, umbrellas aud a
long line of similar products secure a con
cession of 40 per cent, from the Caban
duliea, such important agricultural produc
tions as flour, w heat products, corn and its
products, beef uud other meats, etc,, receive
but the regulation 20 per cent. It is true
that cotton and wool in the ra state re
eiv8 a special discount of 30 percent, but,
as has been pointed out by a western re
publican, Cuba is not a manufacturing
country and there will be little sale there
for the raw materials. On the manufactured
cotton aud woolen goods a discount of 40
per cent, is allowed, so that again the man
ufacturers are the beneficiaries. The in
terest of the beet sugar producers are, of
course, sacrificed as 20 per cent, reduction
is, allowed ou Cuban sugar entering the
United States.
The prospects for the ratification of the
treaty are cot as rosy as the administration
orgaus represent. Senator Burrows, after
-examining the treaty, bus said that he will
Jorm no opinion as to its worth uutil after
the national beet sugar convention, to take
place in Washington next week. The Cali
fornia delegation Is strongly opposed to the
xreaty ana is attempting to lorm an alliance
with the New England delegation which is
earnestly opposed to the Hay-Bond con
vention, which will permit New Kouudlauk
iisb aud bait to compete witti the New
England industries, and to the Kasscn
treaty with Frauce which will permit
French silks and notions to compete with
numerous New England manufacturers.
In this Mtuation Senator Lodge tiuds him
self in a serious dilemma. His i'riuudship
for the President prompts him to vote for
the Cuban treaty, but his seat in the Senate
would be imperilled by the neglect of tuiy
pportuuity to dti'eat the French and New
Foundland treaties. Under these circum
stances the Senator is doing a great deal oi'
thinking but is not talking fur publication.
Senator Morgan has made public a btate
ment in which he predicts that 1hn issue in
the next campaign wilt be the tar if, lie
also advances Lb theory of trust control
.which has for its basic principle tue taxa
tion of the capital stock cf corporal ions in
a progressive ratio, the tax to fall very
heavily ou large ugregalious of capital. The
Btnator administers a grave rebuke to lire
leaders of both the great political parties
whom he charges with having ci.quelted
witn me trusts ut tne expense ol the peo
ple and ho predicts that unless u decided
change shall occur. Loth par.ics will be
overthrown.

The Principal takes pleasure in
stating that the Academy made a
very successful beginning and thanks
those patrons who are desirous of a
good school and have manifested a
willingness to maintain the same.
He also hopes that all his former
patrons may continue to give their
patronage and that other citizens
may realize the great advantage in
consolidating .the schools for better
intellectual facilities and lend their
patronage. I ne general progress
luring the term was marked. Know
ing however that the best work is
done by those students who are most
regular in attendance, the L'rineimil
