THE MOBNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1902.
GUBAN BILL PASSED
House Votes to Remove Dif
ferential From Sugar.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS DOWNED
Decision of the Chair Overruled by a
Larpe Majority Jinny Repnbll
cans Vote With Solid Demo
cratic Side.
t i
By a vote of 247 to 52. the House
pasred the Cuban reciprocity 1)111,
amended to remove the differential on
refined sugar. The bill shows that 142
Republicans and 123 Democrats vcted
for the bill and 42 Republicans and 10
Democrats against It. The main pur
pose of the bill grants a 20 per cent re
duction from the DIngley rates on
goods coming to the United States from
Cuba, in return for wheh Cuba Is to
mak equivalent concessions and enact
immigration, exclusion and contract
labor laws similar to those of this coun
try. WASHINGTON. April 18. The Demo
crats and the Republican insurgents rode '
rough shod over the House leaders today,
when the voting began on the Cuban reel- I
proclty bill. They overthrew the ruling
of the chair in committee of the whole
on the question of the germaneness of an
amendment to remove the differential
from refined sugar during the existence
of the reciprocity agreement provided by
the bill. The vote to overrule the decision
of the chair, made by Sherman. (Rep. N.
Y.), was 171 to 130, Republicans to the
number of 37 joining with a solid Demo
cratic vote to accomplish this result. Hav-
lng won this preliminary victory, the
amendment was adopted In committee, 1C1
to HI, and later In the House by a still
larger majority, 199 to 105. On this occa
sion 64 Republicans voted with the Demo
crats for the amendment. The bill was
then passed by an overwhelming major
ity, 247 to 52. An analysis of the vote
shows that 124 Republicans and 123 Demo
crats voted for the amended bill, and 42
Hepublicans and 10 Democrats againat it.
The voting on the bill was the culmina
tion of a long struggle, which began al
most with the opening of this session of
Congress, and after two weeks of con
tinuous debate, during which much bit
terness was aroused. Today's debate was
of an exceedingly lively character, the
features being cchors of last night's Dem
ocratic caucus. To that caucus, the de
feat of the Republican headers who
sought to pass the bill wlthont amendment
Is attributable. Previous to the holding
of the caucus, the Democrats were very
much divided, and the opposition of the
Republican beet-sugar men showed signs
of disintegrating. Today, when It be
came apparent that the Democrats would
act together, the beet-sugar men decided,
at a meeting attended by 32 of them, to
take the bit In their teeth and overrule
the chair. As soon as this combination
was effected the Republican leaders real- !
Ized that tney would be defeated, so far
as the removal of the differential was
concerned, and Payne, the Republican
leader, contented himself with warning
his beet-sugar colleagues that, in remov
ing the differential, they, were taking off
n bit of protection placed in the DIngley
bill especially for the benefit of the beet
sugar producers. The Democrats at
tempted to follow up their advantage
when the differential amendment was
adopted by offering the Babcock bill and
other amendments to reduce the DIngley
schedules, but on these amendments the
Republicans declined to stand with them,
and the Democrats did not press them
vigorously.
One of the surprises of the session was
the attempt of Roberts, a Massachusetts
Republican, to take the duty off hides.
He offered two amendments, and appealed
from the decision of the chair, but was
voted down each time.
The bill as passed authorizes the Presi
dent, as soon as may bo after the estab
lishment of an Independent government In
Cuba and the enactment by said govern
ment of immigration, exclusion and con
tract labor laws as restrictive as those
of the United States, to negotiate a reci
procal trade agreement with Cuba, by
which. In return for equivalent conces
cions, the United States will grant a re
duction of 20 per cent from the DIngley
rates on goods coming Into the United
States from Cuba, such agreement to con
tinue until December 1, 1903. During the
existence of such agreement, the duty on
refined sugars and all sugars above No.
16. Dutch standard. Is to be 1.825 cents
per pound.
Proceedings In Detail.
Dichardson (Dem. Tcnn.), the Democratic
leader, was the first speaker. He
made a careful and dispassionate speech,
explaining why he had voted in favor of
reporting the bill. He stated frankly that
he doubted whether the enactment of the
bill would do much to bring about the re
ciprocal trade relations between Cuba and
the United States which was earnestly
to be desired. But he had voted for it In
the hope that It might accomplish some
thing. It would at least reduce by 20 per
cent the outrageously high rates of "the
DIngley law, so far as Cuba was con
cerned. These high rates could not stand,
and, he said, Grosvenor's speech a few
days ago was a warning of the coming
storm. He thought the time for a revis
ion of the tariff was at hand and the fact
that the pending bill began it in a modest
Ray commended the measure to him.
He also outlined the Democratic pro
gramme relative to offering an amendment
to abolish the differential duty on re
fined sugar. If this amendment carried,
he said, SS.OOD.OW or f6.O00.000" would be
taken from the sugar refiners, and given
to the American consumers of "sugar.
Just before Richardson took his seat,
Bromwell (Rep. O.) asked him this ques
tion: v
"Does the gentleman from Tennessee
know -anything of a reported bargain be
tween the leaders on this side and the
Democrats on that, by which the Crum
packer resolution Is to be smothered in or
der to aid the passage of the pending
bill?"
"Absolutely nothing," replied Richard
son. .
Fordney (Rep. Mich.) opposed the bjll.
He declared that not a single Cuban ap
peared before the ways and means com
mittee in favor of the bill. Every one of
the witnesses for it, he said, was either
an' American citizen owning sugar land In
Cuba, or indirectly or directly represent
ing the Influence of the sugar trust.
Democratic Caucus Charges.
Hepburn (Rep. la.) aroused considera
ble excitement by bringing up the reve
lation made In the Democratic caucus last
night concerning the alleged overtures
from the Republican side to abandon the
Crumpacker resolution If the Democrats
from the states threatened would vote
against overruling the chair. He pro
ceeded! with great emphasis to declare
that the charge was of a very serious
character.
"It charges members of this House with
a willingness to shelve legislation which
members here consider very important, in
order to secure the ultimate triumph of
this bill. I do not believe it. I think the
gentleman from Alabama (Underwood)
must have been mistaken or misinformed,
but nevertheless I think It his duty to this
House to be more explicit and to locate
this offense where It properly belongs."
With great earnestness, Hepburn con
tinued to cxprera his doubt -whether such
alleged methods would be resorted to to
pass a bill which be was convinced 90 per
cent of the Republicans were indifferent
or opposed to. He held up to ridicule some
of the most ardent friends of the measure.
He quoted from the speech of Grosvcnor
(Rep. O.) the statement that Grosvenor de
clined to support a bill for a 50, 40, 30 or
2a per cent reduction. It was only when
the concession was reduced 5 per cent fur
ther that he was induced to support It.
"In other words," paid Hepburn, "had
It net been for the last nickel of reduction
the gentleman from Ohio, to quote his
own language, would have today been
with the insurgents attempting to divide
the Repub.ican party and destroy it. Great
God, on what a slender thread hangs ever
lasting things." (Great laughter and ap
plause.) Hepburn denounced the feature of the
bill to compel Cuba to accept our 1m-
migration jaws, wnen the greatest neea plausc.)
of Cuba today was labor. j Morris (Rep. Minn.) cdncluded the de-
The remaining time arter Hepburn con- bate with a strong speech against the or

against the bill, and Dalzell (Rep. Pa.). ; In a very elaborate ruling, Sherman
who concluded for the uuodurc. 'lawney sustained the point of order. In doing
at the outset defended thp roisrsp of ihos i fO. lie cited a lone line of oreerdnntE.
on the Republican side who had not sur- j
rendered their convictions, that ''thrift j
might follow fawning." He declared that j
those of his colleagues who bcleved as I
he did had been denounced as traitors,
their motives had been Impjsol, and j
they had even been Insulted btcaure they
had dared to assert and defend what they I
believed to be to the Interest of the.:
party, their constituents and their coun
try. Tawney argued that if th beet-sugar
Industry were property protected in a
few ytars it would supply the entire do
mestic consumption. It was for this rea
son, (,he declared, that the sugar trust was
seeking through the agency of U:!g bill to
ciipple and destroy its great rival of the
future.
In conclusion, Tawney said this was the
first time Republican leaders had proposed
to depart from the protective theory. The i
Republican party will be bound in honor
to keep faith with those whom It had in
duced to enter the bret-sugar maustry.
If the United States owed a d'btto Cuba
it should be paid out of the public treas
ury by the whole people and not alone by
the farmers who were growing sugar
beets.
Dalzell Closes the Debate.
Dalzell, in closing the debate for the
friends of the bill, declared it was not an
attack upon protection.
"It Is not a revision of the existing
tariff laws or Its schedules." said he.
"It will not harm a single American In
dustry or deprive an American workman
of a single day's wages. This bill con
tains a single proposition for reciprocal
trade with Cuba, and It Is justified on
plain business principles. But It Is more
than that. It is a step toward the re
demption of the pledge we made, not to
Cuba, but to ourselves, when we volun
teered to intervene to right the ' wrongs
which she was suffering under the Spanish
regime."
Dalzell Insisted that It was our duty,
now that Cuba was to be set upon the
high road of the world, to see that she
started under fair auspices.
While Dalzell was speaking, several of
the Senators. Including Elklns. Spooner
and Fairbanks, came Into the chamber.
Ex-Senator HIscocK, of New York, also
was on the floor. The galleries had also
filled to overflowing, and almost every
member was In his seat, ro that he had n
brilliant and attentive audience. Repeat
edly he stirred the friends of the. bill to
applause.
Just before he concluded. Dalzell dis
cuFsed the question of striking the dif
ferential from refined sugar. That dif
ferential, he said, was placed In the DIng
ley law for the benefit of the beet-sugar
Industry.
"If I am to have sugar from a trust,"
he said, "I want it from an American
trust, not an English trust."
At 3 o'clock the time for general de
bate expired, and the bill, which consisted
of only one section, was open to amend
ment under the five-minute rule.
Offering of Amendments.
Morris (Rep. Minn.), one of the Repub
lican opponents of the bill, was recognized
and, amid much excitement, offered an
amendment to remove the differential
from refined sugar. The amendment was
as follows:
"Upon the making of said agreement
and the issuance of said proclamation, and
while said agreement shall remain In
force, there shall bo levied, collected and
paid, in lieu of the duties thereon now
provided by law on all sugars above No.
16. Dutch standard. In color, and on all
sugar which has gone through a process
of refining, Imported into the United
States. LS23 cents per pound."
Payne, the Republican leader, at once
made the point of order that the amend
ment was not germane. Ho argued there
had been rulings Innumerable against
such extraneous amendments.
Llttlefield (Rep. Me.) followed Payne,
taking the view that the amendment was
germane. He had not proceeded far In
his argument beforo he aroused intense
Interest by reverting to tho report that at
the Democratic caucus last night Under
wood stated that overtures had been made
lo him in regard to the Crumpacker reso
lution. "An insinuation has been made here to
day," he said, "which has not been re
pelledas it ought to have been. I refer
to the report that at the Democratic cau
cus last night, it was stated that ap
proaches had come from this side of the
House for the -members to enter into an
unholy, ungodly and infamous alliance to
sacrifice human rights in order to 'save
tho face' of certain leaders or protect the
profits of an aggregation of capital."
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) was on his feet in
an Instant, asking Llttlefield to whom ho
referred, vwhen Underwood arose and waB
about to interrupt him. But the latter
was appealed to by some of his Demo
cratic colleagues, and he took his scat.
Llttlefield, in reply to Grosvenor. said
he thought Payne, the chairman of tho
ways and means committee, should make
a statement, and the Republican leader
was just about to do so when Underwood
again rose.
"I deslro to say just one word." said
he. "I have never made any such charge
as the gentleman repeats, either in a
Democratic caucus or elsewhere."
The Republicans applauded this state
ment, and both Underwood and Payne sat
down.
" "I have accomplished my purpose," said
Llttlefield; "I have succeeded !n vindicat
ing the Republican majority." He then
proceeded with his argument that the
Morris amendment was In order, as It
bore directly upon the duties on sugar
which were to be disturbed by the pro
posed reduction upon Cuban sugars. Oth
er tariff amendments, however, he argued,
would not be in order. Ho quoted a de
cision of Speaker Blaine in support of his
contention.
Grow (Rep. Pa.), the venerable ex
Speaker of the House, argued that the
amendment was not germane, because su
gar was not mentioned in the original bill.
Richardson, the Democratic leader, con
tended that the amendment was in order.
He thought Speaker Blaine's decision was
conclusive.
A Vote Demanded. -
As Richardson concluded, the Democrats
cried, "Vote! Vote!" but several Repub
licans, including Grosvenor, Olmstead and
Laeey, were on their feet clamoring for
recognition.
Sherman (Rep. N. Y.). who was in the
chair, recognized Grosvenor, who called
attention to the fact that Blaine, great
as he was as a parliamentarian, had been
overruled repeatedly, especially with re
gard to his proposition that one could
lead a horse to water, but not make him
drink the question of counting. a quorum.
Despite the impatience of, members, as
evidenced by their demands for a, vote,
Lacey (Rep. la.) spoke briefly in sup
port of the point of order and urged nis
fellow Republicans not to place the mat
ter In the hands' of the Democrats, who
had bound themselves by caucus action
last night to try to open the whole ques
tion of tariff reduction.
De Armond (Dem. Mo.) suggested that
the chair should submit the point of
order to the House. He observed iron
ically that he thought the chairman had
not made up his mind. Speaking to the
merits of the point of order;' he argued
that the real object of the rules was to
facilitate matters, not to restrict or ham
per a free expression on questions brought
before the House. "Whether the chair
rules this amendment Is In order c-r not,"
he said, "we will at least And out who
are for the sugar trust and who are
against It."
"An ex-member from New York said on
a memorable occasion," suggested Olm
stead (Rep. Pa.), "what Is the constitu
tion between friends?" (Laughter.)
"Oh. no," retorted De Armond, "the
question is, How powerful is a poor little
rule when the Issue Ib between the sugar
I trust and the American neonle " (Ad-
covering three-fourths of a century of i
parliamentary procedure in accord with I
his dcc!s.cn. I
As soon as the decision was announced, '
Tawney (Rep. Minn.) appealed from the I
decision of the chair. I
r,iT. n,-i.i I
lie Chair Overruled.
The vote was taken by tellers. Speak
er Henderson was the Hrst member to j
pass between the tellers In support of the j
chair's ruilng. It was an interesting
fpect&clc as the Issue was put to tne j
tesL ihe whole Democratic side arose i
en masse and watccu the Republicans to
see how many wou.d dec.inc to voic wltn
their colleagues. Not a Democrat voteJ
lo sustain ti.e chair. The Louisiana de
lation was the firtt to go through In
oppo5ltlon to tne ca!r 6 ruling. Then.
"trooping down a side else, came the Re
publican recalcitrants, 37 strong, xiio
Democrats encored as they went through.
When tne announcement was made mat
tne chair had been overruled, 1W) to 1.1,
the Democrats and the Republican in
surgents cheered.
A dozen members were on their feet
flourishing, amendments and clamoring tor
tecogr.Iilon before the applause died
away, but the chair recognized Payne,
the Republican floor leader. Amid pro
found silence he addressed his Republi
can colleagues. He said it was useless
lo address the other side. The opposition
en his own side, he said, claimed to be
friendly to the beet sugar industry. The i
amendment was a proposition to reduce
the duty on sugar from beet-sugar coun- .
tries, xic warned tnote irienas or oeet
sugar that he proposed Jo show his
friendship for beet sugar by voting
against the amendment.
McClcllan (Dem. N. Y.)N offered an
amendment to the amendment to reduce
still further by 20 per cent the whole
Eugar schedule of the DIngley law, and
De Armond offered another amendment
to strike out the language of the Morris
amendment, which limited its operation
to the period covered by the reciprocity
agreement. Both were voted-down with,,
out division.
The vote then recurred on the Morris
amendment, which was adopted, amid
Democratic cheers, oy a vote of 1G4 to
111. The majority for It was so over
whelming that Payne did not demand
tellers.
The next surprise came from the Re
publican side, when Roberts (Rep. Mass.)
offered an amendment to place hides on
the free list. The chair sustained a point
cf order against It, and when Roberts
appealed, , many Democrats and practi
cally all the Republicans voted to sustain
the chair, and the chair was sustained,
183 to 70. Roberts then modified his
amendment so as to make it apply only
to hides from Cuba, and as modified, it
was held to be In order. But on a direct
vote it was defeated, 120 to 156;
McClellan then moved to increase the
reciprocal concession from 20 to 40 per
cent. Two Republicans, Parker (N. J.)
and Tompkins (N. Y.). voted for the
amendment, and the Louisiana Democrats
and several other Democrats, 11 In all,
voted against It. It was defeated, 102
to 162.
Richardson (Dem. Tenn.) then offered
the Babcock bill to place articles in the
metal schedules on the free list, also cof
ton bagging, binding twine, wood pulp,
etc. It was ruled out of order.
Corliss (Rep. Mich.) offered an amend
ment to authorize the President to ne
gotiate a reciprocity agreement with
Canada. It was ruled out on a point of
ordor.
Newlaods (Pop. Nev.) offered his amend
ment to establish free trade between
Cuba and the United States and extend
the invitation to Cuba to enter the
United States as a territory with a view
to ultimate statehood. It also was ruled
out.
On motion of Payne, the committee then
rose and reported the bill to the House.
The prevlqus question was ordered.
Payne demanded a separate vote on the
Morris amendment to abolish the differ
ential on refined sugar, and the roll was
called.
Vote on the Morris Amendment.
The Morris amendment was adopted, 199
to 105. All the Democrats and the fol

committee amendments were agreed to
tentatively, but no action on the bill was
taken. Fifty-five private pension bills and
a few other measures were pasoed.
At the conclusion of routine business
consideration of a bill to provide for a

was agreed to without comment. ,
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business a

said tne franchise might have been prop
erly limited further than to Asiatics.
There also was the land question, con
cerning which he said there was vague
ness regarding the provision allowing
corporations to hold 1000 acres. Whether
this land was to be held In fee simple,
or simply by lease or otherwise, was not
seemingly understood by the Hawaiian
people. He explained also the confusion
that might arise In the reduction of Sen
ators. Governor Dole said for the pres
ent the island Industries could not be
carried on entirely by white labor, the
Chinese and Japanese being so numer
ously employed In the rice and other In
dustries that an Immediate change to
white labor would not be practical. The
expetlence in using Porto Rlcan labor
had been disappointing.

This was the Senate amendment, which
