j - Tiae Lexington Dispart Wednesday, March 19,1902. Trying to Save "The Party." | Cuba Way be Made to Bleed Aagin. j But What of That? Washington, March 12.-Overtures j have been made for the compromise of the conflict over tariff concessions to Cuba and there are evidences that i I the two elements will come together, probably on a proposition to have the 20 per cent, reciprocal reduction ap- ! ply for one year from nest December j and covering one sugar crop. Prominent members cf the ways and means committee, who have thus far led the contest for Cuban reciprocity, have signified a willingness to accept this compromise proposition. rr"-? ?s\f AAmnrnmioa aro ! JLLlti (J Vfjt tUICO Ui WU1|/1ULUIWV to be considered by three Republicans from each side, namely: For the ways and means, Chairman Payne, and Representatives Dalzell and Cannon for the opposition to the ways and means, Representatives Dick, of Ohio: Fordney, of Michigan, and Morris, of Minnesota. Soon after the overtures of com- I promise were made the leaders of the | element opposed to the ways and means committee called a conference. I The sentiment was rather unfavorable to accepting the plan of 20 per I cent, reduction for one year from next December and some of those i present were favorable to rejecting ! the plan. But it was urged against i this course that so long as overtures j for adjustment had been made in good faith it was only proper to meet the committee representing the ways and means. It was therefore decided by vote tc name a committee to meet j Messrs. Paynef Dalzeli and CannoD. 1 Later Mr. Payne and his associates j were formallv advised that they would be met by a committee from the j other side. As there was a desire to ; consult the wishes of all those co- j operating with the opposition forces ! a call was issued to meet at 2 p. m tomorrow, at which time the final plans will be made. During the meeting the statement j was made that one of the beet sugar j advocates had been assured by rep- j reeentatives of the ways and means j committee that the plan of compromise would not cover this year's su- j gar crop and would apply only to the ' crop of next year, harvested prior to December, 1903. Some doubt exist- i ed, however, as to these assurances and it was considered quite vital to : learn with definiteness whether the j 20 per cent, reduction would apply i.- A? i~ tu iwu crupo ui iu uuc. It was stated afterwards by the ways and means committee members that the compromise plan would affect two crops?that of this year and next?allowing 20 per cent, off of each. There was no purpose, it was : stated, to limit the reduction to a sin- \ gle crop. This matter will probably 1 be left to the arbitration committee, i "with the indications that the beet \ sugar conference will insist on limit--j ing the reduction to one crop, that of ! next year, and with that limitation ; will be inclined to accept the plan of compromise.

Some one who believes that brevity is the soul of wit, writes, "Don't eat stale Q-cumbers; they 11 W u up." When a man is spoiling for a fight he is naturally too fresh. Selfishness is the result of a misdirected search for happiness. Fireproof building are provided with fire-escapes just the same. A practical man is the one who carries out the plans of a theorist. Possibilities of genius are few when compared with impossibilities. Onlv a fool man believes that a v . J ? woman believes everything he tells her. A small boy with an armful cf snowballs can make a strong man tremble. He who steals a woman's purse gets away with a lot of samples and other trash. Occasionally a man's greatness can be traced to the marriage of the woman of his choice to some other man.

The Fanny E. Wolston Roamed Ten Thousand Miles. Perhaps it is the natural instinct to personify every craft that floats; perhaps it is because they were once the domiciles of living beings that makes human interest in derelicts universal. They arc the embodiment of pathos, the menace of tragedy. Prom the slavery of man they have gone forth to the freedom of the sea. which means, after all, that they are stumbling blindly on to that destruction which ultimately awaits all tilings which are without the law. Some of them last but a day; others iloat for years. The average number afloat is usually about twenty, but in 18*-? an average of thirty-live a month was reported. Most derelicts are made off the coast of the United States in the gulf stream, and they arc prone to follow in the wake of the liners. Often they follow the ocean river around its great circle; and many of them get into the Sargasso sea. The most notable derelict was the Fanny F. Woiston, a three masted schooner, lumber laden, which was abandoned Oct. 13, 1SU1, and was last seen in 1 SO 4. She drifted at least 10,000 miles, following the great circle in a zigzag way. In this she differed from the W L. White, a schooner which was abandoned oil' Delaware during the blizzard of 1SSS. The White was a fast travel er and started immediately for Europe. At Iishe attained a speed of thirty-five miles a day. She floated lirst to the Grand banks and hid in the fogs that hang over that region. She stayed doggedly in the ? inist. floating around and around in a comparatively small circle, looming up suddenly under the bow of liners, sending cold terror to the hearts of fishermen, colliding now and then with other vessels and making a general nuisance of herself. Alter several months of this fun she suddenly left one day and continued her journey to Europe, grounding at last on one of the Xcw Hebrides after a cruise of ten months and a drift of G.SOO miles. Then there was the Ercd P>. Taylor, a schooner cut in half off our coast by the steamship Trave. The people on the Trave waited to see the two parts sink; but, strangely enough, they remained afloat. They became separate derelicts, and each went on a voyage of its own. The stem stood high out of the water, and the wind blew it north, hut tlie how, sinking low, was carried south by the cold shore current which runs from. Labrador south to Hatteras between the coast and the gull stream. The bow was destroyed oft Xorth Carolina. The stern grounded on Wells beach.?Theodore Waters in Ainslee?s.
