SPEECHES FOR RECIPROCITY
Eigrlit Senators Arjpic or Legislation
at Tlila Scission Two Bect-0
Sngnr Men State Their
Positions. . , i
WASHINGTON', June 20. The -Hepubll-can
Senators had another conference on
the subject of Cuban reciprocity, and af
ter three hours' discussion adjourned,
aubject to the call of Chairman Allison,
without action. Almost all the Republi
can Senators who are in the city were
present Eight or nine speeches were
made In support of reciprocity and only
two In opposition to that policy. This
was In accord with a previous under
standing' that as the beet-sugar Senators
Jiad monopolized the attention of the con
ference "Wednesday night, their oppon
ents today should have the greater share
of the time. The speeches in support of
the reciprocity bill were made by Senators
Foraker, Beveridge, Lodge, Hale, War
ren, Aldrich, McComas and Hanna. Sen
ator Piatt, of ..Connecticut, added a few
"words to what he had said at -the Wed
nesday meeting. The speeches in opposi
tion to the proposed legislation were.made
by Senators Burton and Burrows. The
speeches for reciprocity were along the
same general line and withbut exception
were pleas for legislation and for party
harmony.
Snator Forak,er opened the proceedings
-with an appeal to his party colleagues to
get together in support of this measure,
whioh had, ,he said, become a party ques
tion, having been made so by the atti
tude not only of the present Chief Magis
trate, but by that of his honored prede
cessor. He said with some appearance
of feeling that men could not be with the
party at one time and against it at an
other, aqd maintain their prestige. He
also spoke of the necessity of maintain
ing the most cordial relations with Cuba.
Senator .Beveridge dwelt on the grow
ing Importance of American trade with
the outside world, and said thfc present
opportunity to extend our hold of the
good will of the Cuban people should not
be lost-' ,
Senato'r Lodge dwelt with especial em
phasis on the importance of having Re
publican Senators stand together at this
critical period in the party's history.
Much of our prestige and futurje National
standing, he said, might depend on steps
now taken, for all the world was watch
ing with interest our treatment of the
Cuban people. He declared that opposi
tion would not suffice to prevent continued J
presentation of this matter until success,
was obtained, and he was quite positive
that If reciprocity with Cuba was not se
cured now. It would be at a later day.
Senator Warren spoke briefly In the
interest of party harmony. He thought all
the resources of the Republican Senators
should be exhausted to secure co-operation
before taking final action.
Senator McComas declared his adher
ence to the Senate reciprocity bill, say
ing he considered It In the Interest of
the whole country to enact such legisla
tion as was outlined In that measure.
Senator Hale said it should be distinct
ly understood that in supporting this
measure he did not surrender his princi
ples as a protectionist, and he was In
clined, he said, to hesitate somewhat be
fore accepting the modern day reciprocity
idea, "but reciprocity with Cuba he re
garded as entitled to somewhat different
consideration from reciprocity with other
countries, because of the obligation we
had assumed toward that Island. He
believed that the Cuban people would se
cure the benefit of the proposed reciprocal
relation with the country, and said he was
willing to set Cuba up in housekeeping.
Senator Aldrich spoke at some length.
?e dwelt with special emphasis on the
;cesslty, for' the partj's progress, of a
solid front at this time with respect to
this measure. He reiterated the state
ment which had been made by the other
speakers that the question was a party
question, and pleaded with tne opposing
Senators to recognize this fact and accept
the situation. He ridiculed the Idea that
the proposed reduction would Injure the
beet-sugar Interests, saying that as suga
now receives protection amounting to
about 100 per cent on the cost price, the
reduction proposed in the bill suggested
by the Cuban committee still would have
a protection amounting to SO per cent
That he thought to be ample. He said
the question of reduction was not one of
today or tomorrow, and announced that
the friends of the principle of reciprocity
with Cuba would not content themselves
until their efforts were crowned with suc
cess. Senator Hanna spoke of the question of
extending the proper aid to Cuba as a
moral question, saying that our obliga
tions to the Cuban people were such that
we would not be true to ourselves as a
Nation if we should fall to give them
an encouraging hand at the beginning of
th.elr national career. He referred to
President McKInley's attitude on this sub
ject and quoted the President's Buffalo
speech as making It Imperative on this
Government to enter Into proper recipro
cal relations with Cuba.
The meeting had almost concluded when
Senator Burton, of Kansas, took the
floor to make a brief but impassioned
and eloquent speech in support and de
fense of the attitude of -the beet-sugar
Republicans. He took as his text cer
tain remarks which had been made by
Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, at the Wed
nesday evening meeting, and by Senator
Foraker at today's meeting. He spoke
especially with reference to an intimation
inat me oeet sugar Senators were not
loyal to the party. He said that the
press of the country had presented only
one side of the question. His side, be
said, stood for support of one of the most
promising, as it was one of the most de
serving of infant industries. The beet
sugar interest was coming to the front
with a rapidity and a promise to the fut
ure such as had marked the hlstorv of
few Interests, in this country, and he
urged that thle Interest should have the
pame protecting care which the Republi
can party had given to other struggling
industries. He said that it was not true
that the beet sugar men were not willing
to extend a helping hand to the people of
-Cuba If they needed it, but he contended
that there was no need for assistance to
the people of that Island at this time
Nor did he believe that If the contem
plated legislation should be enacted the
Cubans would secure the benefit
Burton said Senator Piatt, of Connecti
cut in defending the committee's action
in striking out the House provision for the
extension of our labor laws to Cuba had
said that Cuban labor Is as well paid as
farm lahor in Kansas or any part of the
united States. Burton said that if this
were true, the Cuban laborer jcertainly
was not in need of alms from the people
of the United States. He also urged that
if the, plantation-owners- were able to pay
Kansas prices, they could not be In des
perate straits, as had been represented
Nor. he added, could It be said that the
Cuban Government was in position to ask
assistance froin anyone, for when Gov
ernor Wood surrendered the rolns of Gov
ernment at Havana, there was JSOO.OOO In
the Cuban treasury, and the government
had an assured Income of 517.000,000. His
conclusion way that as neither the gov
ernment, the planters, nor the Cuban la
borers had any need of the proposed as
sistance, it was unfaif and unjust to ask
the fanners of this country to sacrifice
their own Interests ,for the purpose of
granting an annuity of J5.000.000 or ?6,000,
000. Senator Burrows stfoke vers briefly,
and his remarks were entirely In reply
to Senator Hanna's reference to. Presi
dent McKInley's Buffalo speech. Burrows
produced a copy of that speech and Tead
extracts from It for the purpose or show
ing that the beet-sugar Senators are In
accord with McKInley's position as out
lined In that speech. He laid special em
phasis on the portion of the Buffalo
speech in which the President said that
he would not advocate any step "that
would remove the proper protection from
American labor and American Industries.
He also quoted the last annual message
of President Roosevelt, saying that the
beet-sugar men .were in accord with the
President's position as then outlined.
They claimed, he said, that they were
acting in accord with strict Republican
policy in advocating the protection of the
beet-sugar interests.
The conference adjourned to meet at the
call of the chairman, and it is generally
believed that another meeting will occur
some time next wek.
Disappointment In Cuba.
NEW ,YORK. June 20. There Is a feel
ing of great disappointment here, says a
Havana dispatch to the Tribune, over the
possibility that the Senate will not pass
a Cuban reciprocity bill. Cubans have
about given up all hope of relief from this
source, and the people assume a gloomy
view of the future economic conditions of
the island. Their confidence In President

it, fcara'gancc.
LONDON, June 20. During the discus
sion of the Navy estimates In the House
of Commons today Roar-Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford. Conservative, scath
ingly criticised the deficiencies of the
Navy. He declared the whple Admiralty
system was rotten and led to great ex
travagance, and that there was a general
want of efficiency in the Navy, on which
depended the success of the empire. This
was the Judgment of all tile commission
ers of Inquiry, and had been proved a fact
Every increase In the number of ships
and every Improvement In them had been
the Tcsult of outside agitation. As a
result of such agitation, the British Med
iterranean fleet was cow a fourth strong
er than a year ago.
It Is remarkable. Lord Beresford added,
that both Army and Navy officers were
compelled to threaten to resign In order
to get things righted. Great Britain had
only 20.000 naval reserves lnsttad of the
requisite SO.000, and the engine-room de-
pride the victor received the wreaths pre
sented by a lovely hand. It was thus also
at Wartburg, when they seized the harp
and lyre and song in competition. Never
before, so long as the history of German
universities has been written, has any
university received such an hyonor as is
conferred today upon that of Bonn. In
company with the beauty of Bonn and
surrounded by ladles of princely rank,
Her Majesty, the Empress, the first Prin
cess of the land, has appeared at a stu
dents' kommers. This unprecedented
honor has been accorded to the city of
Bonn and to the Borussla, a student corps.
I hope and expect that all the young
members of the Borussla corps upon
whom the eye of the Empress has rested
today have received an inspiration for
the rest of their lives."

THREE WEEKS MOURNING.
After Coronatloa Festivities Kins
Edward Will Go oa a Cruise.
LONDON. June 20. The court will go
Into mourning for three weeks for the
King of Saxony, but the order of mourn
ing will be suspended during the corona
tion festivities.
At the end of the festivities attending
his coronation, which will last from Juno
23 to July 4, inclusive. King Edward will
go on a cruise on one of the royal yachts,
to recuperate from, the fatigues of the
ceremonies.
In an editorial article the Field defends
King Edward from the accusations of
unseemly devotion to racing. The paper
considers it only right and proper that a
monarch should associate himself with
the amusements of his people, and that It
is largely on this account that the King,
like his mother before him. Is held In
such high honor.
The Field refers also to the Increasing
vogue of polo as a social function, and to
His Majesty's recent visit to Raleigh (to
witness the second contest between tho
American and British polo teams for the
international cup) as the first time a
reigning monarch has witnessed a polo
match. The paper expresses Its belief that
the American polo players have agree
able recollections of their visit, and says
the next British polo team visiting the
United States will have difficulty in hold
ing the cup.

HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Five Persons Killed and Thirty In

STAPLES, Minn., Juno 20. A head-on
collision occurred at Lower Lake siding,
two miles east of here, on the Northern
Pacific, at 1:30 this morning between
No. 7 passenger, west-bound, and No. S,
cast-bound. Engineer Scott, of No. 7,
took the siding, expecting No. S, whiph
has the right of way, to pass. The Jat
ter, believing everything clear, came along
at a high rate of speed. The switch, how
ever, had in some way been turned, and
No. 8 dashed Into the waiting train. The
wreck caught fire. The passengers formed
a bucket brigade and kept the flames
under control for a rime, but the work
was given up and four coaches and three
or four mall, express and baggage cars
were burned. Scott's body has not yet
been recovered, and It is thought that two
or three mall clerks and baggagemen are
not yet accounted for. .

Customs Union Not Practical.
LONDON, June 20. In an Interview to
day on the subject of the forthcoming
colonial conference, Edmund Barton, Pre
mier of Australia, said he considered that
an .imperial custom? union was- not
within the bounds of practical politics,
though it might be possible many years
hence. Free trade within the empire nbw
would deprive the young communities of
their main source of revenue, namely, the
customs, and render It impossible to
carry on their Internal government suc
cessfully. Mutual tariff concessions
within the empire stand on a more prac
tical basis, and he hopes to see the dif
ficulties in the way of such concessions
removed.

Survival of Medieval Superstition.
CHICAGO, June 29. While commence
ment orators all over the country are re
ferring to the present era as one In which
science Is supreme, Professor Frederick
Starr, of the University of Chicago, points
a warning finger toward the prevalence
of medieval superstition.
"In enlightened America there are
shrines whore idols of the saints are wor
shiped as objects of supernatural power,
while in such countries as Mexico the
grossness of religious superstition is ab
solutely amazing," said the professor tcr
his class in anthropolog . "AH faiths
that profess to cure disease by other thin
natural methods are examples of the sur
vival of the superstition of Middle Ages.
In fact the stay of superstition at the
present time seems to be gaining ground,
and In spite of the talk that this is an
age pf science, a. reactionary tendency to
ward the beliefs of three centuries ago is
actua-y evident"
SPEECH OX RELIGION.
Emperor' William's Oration at AIx-la-Chapellc.
AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Prussia. June 20.
A striking speech on religion was deliv
ered by Emperor William at the City
Hall here yesterday, after his arrival
from Bonn, accompanied by the Empress
and the Crown Prince Frederick William.
After observing that the city was the
cradle of tho German Empire, Charle
magne, on whom Rome conferred the dig
nity of a Roman Caesar, having fixed the
seal of government here, the Emperor
said:
"What power, however, his .personality
was itbio to effect, namely, combining the
office of a Roman Emperor with that of
a Germanic King, was denied his suc
cossors, who, striving to hold the world
wide lmperlum, forgot the cause of Ger
manla, so that little by little the German
land and people decayed and the Roman
Empire of Gorman nationality fell to
pieces. Now, however, another cmnlrc
has come to life, and its tasks are differ
ent from those of ancient days. Con
fined in their outward limits to the bor
ders of their country, the Germans have
settled down to the work which has fallen
upon them. In these days, the young
empire Is strengthening Itself and confi
dence in It Is ever Increasing. The
mighty German army constitutes the
support of the peace of Europe. In con
formity with the character of their race.
the Germans have kept themselves with
in bounds, far outside the world con
cerned. In order to be wholly unfettered
at home.
"Our tongue Is passing beyond the seas.
Every thought of science Is first turned
to account by us. to be afterwards adopt
ed by other nations. This is the world
wide lmperlum after which Germanic
genius strives. But it must not be for
gotten that the empire was rooted in
simplicity and fear of God. I look to all,
priests and laymen, to help me hold relig
ion among tho people. In order that the
German name may preserve its health
and strength. This applies equally to
the two creeds. Catholic and Protestant
Our two great creeds mu3t while living
side by side, keep in view their one great
aim to uphold and strengthen the fear
of God and reverence for religion. Wheth
er we are moderns, or whether we labor
In this or that field, does not matter at
all. He who does not found his life on
religion Is a lost man. I rejoice that I
have placed my whole empire, my peo
ple and my army, as well as myself and
my house, beneath the cross and under
the protection of Him who said: 'Heav
en and enrthv shall pass away, but my
word shall not pass away.'."
Emperor William concluded by the call
ing for three cheers for Alx-la-Chapclle,
Knlier at Krefcld.
KREFELD. Prussia., June 20. Emperor
William came to this city today" from
Alx la Chappelle. He was welcomed by
the Chief Burgher, and In his reply to an
address delivered by this .officer. His
MajoHty referred to the clty's Industrial
development. He said Industry flourish
ed only when a powerful scepter preserved
the peace of the world, and that this he
and his predecessors had striven their ut
most to maintain.
