RESIST TO THE END
Plans Agreed Upon by Beet
Sugar Senators,
THEY
ISSUE
A MANIFESTO
"Will Vote for House Bill and Oppose
All Amendments Alternative Is
to Drop Snbject or Accept
Rebate Scheme.
"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.

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.

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.

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.

General Debate Yesterday, FlveMIa
ntc Speecb.cs en Amendments To
dayRay's Arjrasacat Affalast It.
WASHINGTON, June 12. 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. Fourteen thou
