WE ARE IN HONOR BOUND TO GIVE THE ISLAND TRADE ADVANTAGES hay* Proponed Heelproeiil Arrange ment Will lie to Our \<l \ a iilhka Vlmo—'l'lie W hole People of the I tilted Staten W ill He Heneliled— Seen Danger iu failure. Washington, Nov. 10. —The following is President Roosevelt’s message to the extraordinary session of congress: To the Senate and House of Represent atives; 1 have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation nec essary to pul into operation the com mercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban govern ment. 1 deem such legislation demand ed, not only by our interest, but by our ho: or. We cannot wit it propriety aban don the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the accept ance of the Platt amendment was re quired from Cuba by the action of con gress of the United Stales, this govern ment thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupy, ig a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independ ent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain re spects to come within our system of International policy; and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degr; e become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the plan by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain lim itations have been Imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the de tails of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They arc so sit uated as to prevent any idea that there Is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protec tion of Cuba from the assaults of for eign foes, and for the bette r safeguard ing of American interests in the waters south of us. These interests have been largely in creased by the cons quenccs of the war with Spain, and will be still further in creased by the building of the Isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a mil itary standpoint and Is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba lias made, great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sis ter republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to us; and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for ap proval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as these given to Cuba. Not an American in terest is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our pro ducers. It is a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which Is capable of great expansion and which is especially Important ho the develop ment of our export trade. It would be indeed short-sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such opportunity and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvan tage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry, ft will benefit many industries. It is in the Interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mer chants and manufacturers. Finally, it Is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose wel fare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and ttie courage of our soldiers who fought for her In war; by Hie memories of the wisdom and integrity of our ad ministrators who saved h#r in peace and who started her so well on the dif ficult path of self-governmenT. We must help her onward ami upward; and In helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing conskh rations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legis lation hy the congress which by the terms of the treaty Is necessary to n n der it operative A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of tlie nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as amended by the senate and ratified hy the Cuban government. THKODOUK UOOSKVKLT. White House. Nov Jrt, IfiO.T f'olomltlii'n I*rtpt. Washington.

Mute Tax Levy. The state tax levy for the present year ha.s been announced and the amount of money to be raised is $1,027,220. Owing to the balance in the general treasury, the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, who are the officers making this levy, decided that instead of levying a tax of $1,969,790, which will be needed for various state purposes during the coming year, they would transfer $942,570 from the general fund and apply it as a state tax to these va rious purposes, leaving only $1,027,220 for common school purposes to he levied. The balance In the general fund in round numbers is $1,300,000. The total state aid for common schools this year will be $1,402,334. >l> DUhiinil Hu- Trilic.

Wraith of linl?ni Woman Puddles Canoe About Luke Muniton in Indiana. One of the romantic spots of In diana is Lake Manitou, about a mile east of Rochester, ind., and on its shores in the early history of Ftuton county tlie Pottawatomie Iniians camped ami fished. A squaw's ghost is said to haunt the place. One of the chiefs of the tribe, who has more than a local history, was Aub-Bee-Naub-Bee. He was a famous warrior and under the iniiuence of liquor was very friendly to the whiles. One day, about 1830, while he and a few of his warriors, with their squaws, were camped at the lake, Aub- Bee-Naub-Bee went to the trading post and became intoxicated. On Bis return to the camp he quar reled with his squaw and brained her with his tomahawk. A short lime afterward he killed a brother of the woman Be had murdered and the other members of his dead squaw’s family swore vengeance. Legends differ as to how Aub-Bee- Naub-Bee met his death. Some have it tiiat Bis wife’s relatives killed him, but the most authentic account is that about 1837 the chief was killed by his own son. Be tliis as it may, the story is that several times a year tße spirit of the murdered squaw was seen on the shores of the lake or paddling her canoe from island to island. BIRDS’ GARDEN OF EDEN. EnthiiHljidc Admirer Sola A purl an Aoro Forbidden to Cut* and Small Hoy*. A bird garden is rather a novel idea, but one which if fai hfully exploited will prove as real a delight as any gar den of blossoms. An enthusiast on the subject has set apart a spot of per haps an acre’s extent as forbidden ground for cats and small boys, and the birds have become very tame, says the New York Tribune. Bermuda grass, whose matted tangles are a har bor for bugs and worms, covers the ground. Hydrants are left dripping where the many kinds of feathered folk that this garden has attracted may drink and bathe to their hearts’ con rent. There is an abundance ol seeds and fruit, which mature at dif ferent sea ons, and old logs under which congregate the fat grubs that are a bird’s delight.
