"WASHINGTON, June 12. President Kooseelt returned to W&shlnctoa to night on hJs epeclal train. Soon after the President reached th White House Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, chairman of the committee on Cuban relations, called by appointment Senator Spoon er. of Wisconsin, called also by appoint ment soon after the arrival of Senator Piatt, and the Senators v. en in confer ence with the President for more than an hour. Some Question exists, it is said, as to whether a statement will be issued from the White House concerning General Wood's reciprocity expenditure, some doubt existing as to the policy of treat in? the matter as of sufficient Import ance to -warrant a. formal official state ment from the Administration. It is probable, however, that a statement will be given out. General Wood has not been summoned to appear before the lm estimating: committee as yet. The conference discussed the outlook for reciprocity legislation, in view it re cent developments, but as far as could be learned thers Is no change in the President's position and purposes. "WASHINGTON, June 12. The Republic an Senators who are friendly to beet ugar, and who oppose the proposed legis lation for a reduction of the tariff on Cuban products, held a conference of al most two hours' duration today and de cided to continue their opposition to tho reciprocity proposition. They will do this by announcing to the advocates of tariff reduction that they will cast their votes for the reciprocity bill as it passed the House of Representatives, including tho Morris amendment for the abolition of the differential duty on refined sugar, and that they will resist all amendments that will be Offered to it. They will propose two alternatives. One of these is to drop the subject and make no further attempt to secure reciprocity legislation; the other Is to accept the rebate plan. Today's conference was held in Sen ator Elklns' committee-room. The com mittee on conciliation, consisting of Sen ators Elklns, Burrows and Jones (New), appointed to confer -with the Senators Of the Cuban committee, reported that they had failed to secure concessions from the opposition. The Thurber testimony was thoroughly considered immediately fol lowing this report A count of those pres 'entand a count of those absent and known to be In sympathy with the move ment led to the conclusion that there are at least 14 Republican Senators who can be depended upon to stand together in any course agreed upon. Counting the full Democratic vote as favorable to the House bill, the beet-sugar advocates con cluded that a proposition to pass the measure unamended would be the strong est that could be put forward. The com bination of the two forces would give a total of 52 votes, or seven more than a majority. There was objection on the part of some of the Senators present to acceptance of the House bill, carrying the abolition of the refined sugar differential with the reciprocity provision, but it as pointed out that by no other course were the beet-sugar Senators sure of receiving the full Democratic vote. The suggestion was also made that, rather than see the HouEd bill go to a vote under such conditions, the friends of Cuban reciprocity either would accept a Tebate plan or permit the session to come to a close without mak ing a further attempt to secure action. This line 6f reasoning prevailed, and the decision of the conference was uahanl hous. It was decided to continue the conference committee nlth instructions to present the facts as here detailed to the Republican members of the committee on relations with Cuba, and to other Sen ators who advocate straight reciprocity. The committee. In making its report on past efforts to secure harmonious action by Republican Senators, dwelt at some length on the detnl.s of the bill proposed by the reciprocity r eates. They point ed out -with special uphasls the amend ment abolishing the House provision re quiring Cuba's acceptance of American Immigration, labor and exclusion laws. This action, It was declared, would have at least the partial effect of bringing American worklngmen into competition -with cheap foreign labor, and It was spoken of as being most objectionable. They, therefore, decided that this ar rangement also should be resisted, as should all others In case the bill should come to a vote in the Senate. The Republican caucus of Senators, which it was announced would be held Friday or Saturday, has not yet been called, and -Senator Aldrlch today, after a conference with Senators Allison. Piatt (Conn.) and McMillan, said that no date had been decided upon for the caucus. He still thought, however, that there would be a caucus at an early day. MR. THURBER EXPLAINS. Snys It "Was Cuban Money and "Sot That of United States Paid Oat. NEW YORK, June 12 The Herald to morrow will quote Francis B. Thurber as saying in reply to criticisms brought out by his testimony before the Senate com mittee in regard to the use of funds fur nished by tho military government of Cuba in aid of reciprocity: "It was Cuban money and not that of the United States. The beet-sugar people are attempting to make political capital out of what was, in my opinion, a legiti mate and proper use of Cuban money. Everything was done openly and no fact was hidden. When called to Washington to testify before the committee I told them the plain truth. The commission of business men In Cuba recommended tho expenditure out of money paid by the Cubans In port taxes. Governor Wood acted within hip authority in disposing of these funds, or a portion of them, in the best Interest of the island. "Mr. Havemeyer's contribution came about In this way: I was asked last Win ter If our organization was not working in the interest of the sugar trust. I re plied that It was not, but the question set me to thinking that perhaps we were work ing on similar lines. I then went to Mr. Havemeycr and asked for a contribution. He gave me $2500. This, with the small amount from the Cuban Import taxes, has carried on the work of distributing liter ature, giving the people of the United States the truth about Cuba's condition and requirements." KILLING OF SEALS. Strong; Protest Filed by Minority of House Committee. WASHINGTON, June 12. Five members of the ways and means committee have filed a minority report on the bill pro posing the killing of fur seals unless a modus vlvendl for their permanent pro tection is negotiated. The minority mem- 7 bers severely -condemn pelagic scaling and say the practice of killing females in their breeding season Is contrary to the universal custom of mankind. "The Rritleh Government, of all the gOK 'ernments concerned,'" continued the re port, "aldne persists in permitting its subjects to carry on a practice so bar barous as to impart a respectable hue to piracy." A letter is cited from President David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford Uni versity, statinc that the threat to kill all the seals is 'telmply monstrous," and would bring on us the odium, which now properly rests with Great Britain for her unwillingness to abolish the destructive agency of pelagic sealing. The minority, therefore, declare that the plan to kill the seals Is inconsistent with the humane and noble policy this Government has constantly taken, and that if the British Government, abusing the freedom of the seas. Is willing to 'destroy one of the choicest gifts of Providence to xnanklna. It should be permitted to bear the re sponsibility unaided and alone. Russell. Morrell and Metcalf, Republicans, and McClellan and Newlands, Democrats, signed the report IDE AND CROCKER CONFIRMED. Fight Over "vVaanlnffton Patronase Ends-Foster the Victor. WASHINGTON, June 12. The long con test over Washington appointments was decided today, when Crocker was con firmed as Internal Revenue Collector for the new Washington district, and Ide as Collector of Customs at Port Townsend. Senator Foster stands out as the victor. Ide could never have been confirmed as long as Foster opposed him. Notwith standing the Administration insisted upon Ide's confirmation, and the Republican Senators intended to put It through, there was oo way of accomplishing this result as long as Senator Foster insisted that the man was obnoxious to him. Possibly a report might have been made from the committee, but at the same time, at his request It went over from week to week until the Internal Revenue collection dis trict was settled, and a place made for Crocker. Senator Foster consented to the confirmation of Ide because he did not want u factional fight over Washington offices, and, further, because he did not want to disappointed the Administration, which had named him for the place. It Is observed that In the appointments made, In spite of the efforts of "Wilson and his faction, Foster secured Fryo for United States Attorney; Hopkins, for Mar shal, and Crocker for Internal Revenue Collector. The Wilson faction, through the earnest solicitation of Attorney-General Knox, Indorsed Ide for Collector of Customs. Senator Foster is entirely satisfied, es pecially In view of the efforts that were made to defeat the appointments of all bis men. When Wilson was here, he seemed to think he could not only prevent anything being done for Crocker, but that he would be able to prevent Frje's ap pointment and confirmation. Senator Foster 16 very glad to have the whole mat ter decided and in a manner which casts no reflection upon his influence with the Administration, and which leaves no cause for factional differences in the Republican party of his state. CUBAN FIGHT GROWING WARMER, Reciprocity Legislation by Present Congress Very Doubtful. WASHINGTON, June 12. The impres sion is growing stronger that this Con gress will be forced to adjourn without doing anything for Cuba. The beet-sugar men appear to be more radical than ever before, and the Republicans who are try ing to secure a reciprocity agreement are not able to count the votes necessary to put the bill through. It may be after the President returns that there will be fur ther conference in which those represent ing reciprocity will have a heating and try to agree upon some compromise, either a rebAte or to have a treaty imme diately negotiated with Cuba. These are two plans that the beet-sugar advocates offer, and the only ones which they seem to be willing to adopt. The beet-sugar Republicans of the House are more than ever determined to insist upon their bill, and assert that, no mat ter wnat measure comes from the Senate, they -will Insist that the differential shall be eliminated, as they do not intend to grant concessions to Cuban beet-sugar by which the trust would benefit, unless the trust loses the profit it secures by the present differential. There Is very bitter feeling growing up between the Republi can factions In the Senate, and It Is ob served that men who will vote for a straight reciprocity proposition are simply encouraging the beet-sugar men to stand out. It Is not probable that anything fur ther will be done until the President is consulted. Oregon Rural Delivery Ronte. Representative Moody has been advised that a second rural free delivery route Is soon to be established at Freewater, Umatilla County, Or., as recommended by Special Agent Clemens. To Investigate Christmas' Charges. WASHINGTON, June 12. The special committee of the House appointed to in vestigate charges in connection with the purchase of the Danish West Indies will meet next week to conclude the Inquiry and formulate Its report. It Is expected that the committee will report that charges are groundless. ITS DIPLOMATIC PHASES To Make Clark an Admiral. WASHINGTON, June 12. Representative Foss, of Illinois, chairman of the com mittee on naval affairs, today Introduced in the House a bill to authorise the Pres ident to nominate Captain Charles E. Clark to be an Admiral of the senior grado on the active list. EMBEZZLING THE CHARGE Four Prominent Citizen of Blrmlng bsLax In Trouble. BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. June 12. Captain Reuben F. Kolb, Henry Gray, George A. Blinn, Jr.. and W. I Dodd, all prominent citizens of Birmingham, have been Indict ed and put under bond on a charge of embezzlement The indictments followed an Investigation by the grand jury of the affairs of tho Continental Security Re demption Company and the Birmingham Debenturo Company, both defupct The funds alleged to have been embezzled belonged to these concerns.

SENATOR MORGAN'S SPEECH THE ISTHMLlN CANAL. ON Attacks Fairbanks Amendment Tor the Issuing of Bonds for Its Construction. WASHINGTON, July 12. At the con cluslon of routine business In Hie Senate a resolution introduced by Carmack di recting the -committee on civil service and retrenchment to Investigate the dis charge from the War Department of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, a -clerk in that depart ment, was called up. On motion of Piatt (Conn.) the resolution was referred to the committee on civil service. The resolution introduced yesterday by Culbertson, directing the Secretary of living Senators, as" one of the greatest living authorities on one Of the greatest questions." "I shall soon be one of the greatest dead ones," suggested Morgan, facetl tJously, "unless the Republican side shall take up the resolution in the rlew of, William McKInlcy. who was more re sponslble for It than I am, or in that of General Grant, who was more respon sible stllL" After Mongan had proceeded until 3:30, refusing curtly to yield the floor for any other business, Hanna gavo notice that he was obliged to leave the city this week to bo absent until next Wednesday morning. He would address the Senate on the bill that day at 2 o'clock. "Will the Senator becupy the floor until 6 o'clock?" Inquired Morgan. Hanna replied that he did not know, but be might emulate the Senator from Alabema In that respect. "Well," replied Morgan, "If the Senator occupies the lloor until 6 o'clock, I shall take It then and speak until midnight. I am responsible for this bill, and have tho right to close the debate." JOINT SENATOR FOR BAKER, HARNEY AND MALHEUR JOHN L. RAND. John L. Rand, the newly-elected Joint Senator from Baker, Harney and Mal heur Counties, was born in Portsmouth, N. H., October 23. 1801. He was gradu ated at Dartmouth College In 18S3. after -nbjch he settled at Walla, Walla. Wash., beginning the practice, of law. Two jears later he moved to Baker City, where he "has since resided. He tvns elected Prosecuting: Attorney .of the old Sixth Judicial District In 1SSS, and again In 1S04. He Is one of Baker City's most influential citizens, and is a loyal member of the Republican party. He defeated Hon. "William Smith tor bis present position. War to send to the Senate an itemized statement of expenditures made from the Cuban funds from the time of the Ameri can occupation to May 1, of this year, was taken up. Piatt (Conn.) explained that tho Information was being compiled in the War Department, and the resolu tion was sent to the calendar. The dis cussion continued until 2 o'clock. Consideration of the isthmian canal project then was resumed and Hoar for mally offered his amendment of which he gave notice some time ago. In tho form of a substitute. The amendment provides that it shall be the duty of the President to cause an Isthmian Canal to be built by such route as he may select; that he shall obtain all advice necessary, and that 510,000,000 bo appropriated to begin the 'work. Morgan, In charge of the pending bill. In taking the floor and noting the absence of a large majority of Senators, said It mattered not to him whether Senators listened to his remarks of 'not, as he was addressing himself to the American people in order that the facts concerning the canal question might be well under stood. He discussed at length the atti tude of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to ward the Isthmian canal, and the dlplo- matlc negotiations between those two governments and the United States look ing to the canal's construction. The consideration then was resumed on the London dock charges bllL Nelson explained tho provisions of the bill. After considering the bill for an hour and a half without completing it, the Senate resumed consideration of the isthmian canal question. Morgan occupied the floor for three half hours, discussing particularly tho diplomatic phases of the question. After discussing the diplomatic negotiations, the Alabama Senator Intimated that Min ister Sllva, of Colombia, had been recalled from Washington "because the Colombian Government could raise no money on his opinion," which was not in accord with views of Colombia as to the canal ques tion. He said that Colombia, if the United States should pay $16,000,000 for the Panama canal, would get 1,000,000 down, "and how many millions more, God only knows or his Satanic majesty, who I think has more to do with this business than the Almighty." Ho said the Liberal party in Colombia never would extend the concessions of the new Panama company, and if the United States would pay $10,000,000 for thoso concessions and the property. It might as well throw the money Into the sea. Ha declared there was "no moro mistaken piece of legislation" than the Spooner amendment, and referred to it as having been offered "in the name of the Senator from Wisconsin." Spooner warmly resented the Intimation that he was not the author of the amend ment and declared that he was not only Its author, but that ho had devised It in every part and with certain amendments, ho proposed to insist upon Its adoption. As yet he had not had time to prcpara the amendment because, he suggested incisively, he had other work to do than look after the canal bilL Fairbanks offered an amendment to tho Spooner amendment authorizing the Sec retary of the Treasury to borrow from tlmo to lime $140,000,000 for the construc tion of the canal, the bonds to be issued for the amendment borrowed to bear Interest at 2 per cent gold, the bonds to bo disposed of at not less than par. Morgan Immediately criticised Fair banks proposition, declaring that It was simply another feature of tho methods being employed to delay the canal's con struction. With some heat, Fairbanks insisted that his amendment was perfectly reasonable and proper. He believed It to bo in accord with tho wisest statesmanship to dis tribute the cost of the canal over a period of years, instead of putting the burden of the entire cost upon the people of the present time. He said that if tho bill providing for a canal by the Nicaraugua route were passed, he would offer the same amendment to that. Later Morgan suggested that he was holding the chairmanship of the oceanic canal committee as a placebo thrown to the Democrats, but Hoar assured him that be did not hold the position as- a placebo, but because the Republican side J had regarded him as "one of the greatest Hanna said he had no'desire to prevent Morgan from speaking and "thought there would be no difficulty in aHording him time to reply. A bill was passed to amend an act to prohibit the passage of local laws In the territories and to limit the territorial Indebtedness. The Senate at 5:40 P. M. went Into ex ecutive session and soon afterward adjourned. THE IRRIGATION BILL HOUSE ADOPTS A XTJLE TO COXi SIDfcft IT. THE DEATH ROLL. Bnron von Blelchroder. NEW YORK, June 12. Baron George von Blelchroder, whose death In Prussia from an automoblling- accident has Just been announced, was one of the beat-known men In Paris, as well as Ber lin, sajs a dispatch from the former city to the Herald. Baron George was about 40 years old, of handsome appearance and very popular with his many acquaint ances. The news of his death produced a profound impression among his numerous friends In Paris. The name of Baron von Blelchroder Is one cf the earliest In con nection with the automobile in France. He was always known as a very careful chauffeur, and it is thought his automobile must have slipped on a muddy road. Paris was, however, always a great at traction for the Baron. Last Winter he purchased a little hotel at fl Rue Newton. He was often seen at Monte Carlo, and about two years ago won 00.000 francs. He was present at the principal race meet ing at Longchamps and Auteuil previous to his departure. The Baron was one of the directors of the celebrated banking house bearii.g his name, and was the sec ond son of the banker who rendered great assistance to Prince Bismarck In founding the German Empire.

The House to day adopted an important rule for the consideration of the irrigation hill, which passed the Senate some time ago, and de voted the day to general debate on the measure. Tomorrow the bill will be read for amendment under the flve-mlnute rule. Mondell (Rep. Wyo.), Tongue (Rep. Or.), Tlrrell (Rep. Mass.),. and Shallenbarger (Pop. Neb.) spoke today in favor of the bill. Ray (Rep. N. T.), chairman of the judiciary committee, made a long legal argument against It. Olmsted (Rep. Pa.) enlivened the proceedings with a humor ous speech In reply to Cushman's recent attack on the -committee on rules. The Proceedings. When the House met, Ray (Rep. N. T.), chairman of the Jud'ciary committee,, asked unanimous consent that Monday after the consideration of bllte under sus pension of the rules and Tuesday be set apart for the bill to amend the bankrupt cy act. There was no objection, and the order wns made. Dalzell (Rep. Pn.) then presented a spe cial order for the consideration of the Senate Irrigation bill, one day for general debate, and one day for amendment under the five-minute rule. Robinson (Dem. Ind.) opposed the adop tion of the rule. He declared that the bill would be beneficial to the arid land states and dangerous to all the others. He criticised the action of the Democratic Congressional committee In adopting a resolution favoring the irrigation bill. He declared that the committee was without jurisdiction, and had no power to hind Democratic members. The whole scheme was undemocratic, he asserted, and was In the Interest of land-grant railways. Underwood (Dem. Ala.) favored the adoption of the rule. He argued that the only method of building up the arid land states was to provide for their Irriga tion. The bill would not ta.ke a dollar out of the treasury, he said. It would only use the proceeds from the ale of lands In each state for the benefit of such state. Shafroth (Pop. Colo.) also ar gued for the adoption of the rule. New lands Pop. New) also supported the rule. The resolution waa then adopted without division. The House resolved Itself Into commit tee of. the whole, Tawney (Rep. Minn.) in the chair, and entered upon considera tion of the irrigation bill. It was ar ranged that Mondell (Rep. Wjo.) should control the time for the measure, and Ray (Rep. N. T.) against It. Mondell submitted an extended argu ment in favor of the bill. The amount of land that might ultimately be reclaimed by irrigation was estimated, he said, be tween 53,000.000 and 70.O00.OCO acres. He discussed fully the reasons why the states could not undertaKo the work. The wis dom of National aid In the reclamation of the arid land Of the West, he declared, had been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the people and of both political par ties In National conventions assembled. The fear expressed in some quarters that an increase in the irrigated area will af fect the values of farms In the Middle West was clearly without reasonable foundation, and was an extremely narrow and provincial view of the great National question. It was estimated, he said, that the pending bill would produce a fund from the sale of public lands of between $2,000,000 and J2.500.QOO. which would grad ually Increase. It also was astlmated that the cost of bringing water to the settler would be about $10 per acre, that at the present rate the bill would bring 230.000 acres under Irrigation annually. Ray (Rep. N. Y.) opened In opposition to the bill. He declared that the friends of the measure haa sought to create the impression that the Irrigation of the arid lands In the West was a continuation of the free home policy of the Government. The scheme, he said, would benefit cer tain states, but at the expense of others. The public lands, he contended, belonged to the people of all the states. JThls bill proposed to take the proceeds of their sale to develop one section of the coun try. Ray said he believed In earning out the pledge of the Republican National platforms, but Insisted that no conven tion had ever indorsed the scheme pro posed in thLs bill. Tongue (Rep. Or.) followed In an earn est argument In support of the bill, the constitutionality of which, he declared, could not be successfully questioned. Olmsted (Rep. Pa.) replied to remarks made by Cushman (Rep. "Wash.) eome weeks ago. In which the Washington member denounced the committee on rules for the alleged' misuse of its power to prevent members from -obtaining con sideration of meritorious bills. He recited a long list of appropriations which Wash ington had received at the present ses sion, and asked what Cushman, who de scribed himself In his speech as a "Legis lative Llllputlan," was roaring about. "If thi3 Llllputlan Legislator secured all these appropriations." he asked, "what would a Legislative giant have obtained?' ' (Laugh ter) Olmsted read a list of 83 bills Cushman had introduced, including one appropriat ing $5000 for a commission to Investigate the question of a "Universal language." "I presume," observed Olmsted, "that is the language we aro to use when the rules committee has been abolished and every member can speak In behalf of his ownblll whenever the spirit moves him." Olmsted defended the machinery of the House, arguing that present Legislative measures were necessary for the trans action of public business.
