Elkins Says It Would Be
Best for Both Countries.
NO BEARING OK RECIPROCITY
Banna and Flatt of Connecticut
deprecate Any Sach Proposal at
This Time Criticism of
General 'Wood.
Elkins of West Virginia delivered an
earnest speech In "the Senate yesterday
In favor of the annexation of Cuba,
maintaining that It would be In the
best Interests of both countries. El
kins remarks drew a sharp fire from
Piatt of Connecticut and Hanna, -who
deprecated any annexation proposition
at this time, and urged that the United
States ought to be sensible of its obli
gations to the civilized world. If not to
Cuba. After a lively colloquy. In which
General Wood was criticised by Infer
ence for using Cuban funds to advance
the reciprocity propaganda, Elkins res
olution for annexation was referred to
the Cuban relations committee.
Among tho many bills parsed was one
giving Rear-Admiral Schley the pay and
Allowance of a Bear-Admiral on the

WASHINGTON. June 30. When the
Senate convened today, Gal'lnger, chair
man of the committee on pensions, made
a brief statement of the work done by
the pension committee during the pres
ent session. It showed that the bills re
lating to pensions introduced In the
House aggregated 751S; in the Senate, 2552.
The total number passed by both the
House and the Senate was 1151.
A resolution offered by Morgan, calling
on the Secretary of State for a state
ment of the expenditures of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, was adopted.
The Senate insisted on its amendments
to the naval appropriation bill, and the
following conferees were riamed: Hale,
Perkins and Tillman.
Bills -were passed as follows: To pro
hibit the killing or taking of seals, por
poises, -whale or marine animals or fish
of any kind in the -waters of the United
States by means of explosive materials;
to establish regulations in the District
of Columbia during the National encamp
ment of the G. A. R., in October. 1902;
to authorize the Director of the Census
to compile statistics relating to Irriga
tion; relating to the transportation of
dutiable merchandise at subports of Ta
coma and Seattle, Wash.
Elkins for Annexation.
Senator Elkins then addressed the Sen
ate in support of his resolution providing
for the annexation by the United States
of the Island of Cuba. Elkins said that
his resolution had been misunderstood.
It had no bearing on Cuban reciprocity
and was not intended to have any. The
resolution did not suggest annexation of
Cuba in any offensive -way. It provided
that the Cubans must lake the initia
tive and orly after they had asked for
annexation could the United States act.
He pointed out that many distinguished
in? patriotic American statesmen from
Jefferson to McKlnley had favored an
nexation and he thought the present "was
an opportune time to "carry into effect
the -well-defined wishes of a majority or
the people of Cuba and the United States
in regard to annexation. It is in the
Interest of both countries. .The environ
ments of Cuba with the trials and diffi
culties that,, beeet her on the threshold
of her national life stand in the way of
her being long an Independent nation,
-while as a state in the American Union
her people would be prosperous and pro
gressive and enjoy the liberty and all 'the
blessings that would flow from being part
of the best, greatest and freest Govern
ment in tho world.
"It is claimed that annexation would
destroy the promising and growing beet
sugar industry of the United States. Not
so, however. The prices of products
among the states of the Union always
. seeks an equilibrium. With proper pro
tection in favor of the cane sugar of
Cuba -which she will enjoy as a state and
the beet sugar of the United States with
in 15 years, the United States would not
only produce enough sugar .for Its own
consumption, but largely compete with
other countries in the markets of the
world.
"But for the war -with Spain, although
so successful and glorious, Cuba would
now be a part of the United States. Even
-with the war, had it not been for our
declaration that 'the war -was not waged
for conquest and aggrandizement, known
as the Teller amendment, Cuba would now
be a part of us, as Porto Hico and the
Philippines are. This amendment has
proved both mischievous and unwise.
"When Cuba shall become a part of the
American Union and the Isthmian canal
shall be completed, which Is now assured,
Porto Rico. Cuba, Hawaii and the Philip-
pines will be theoutposts of the great
republic, standing guard over American
interests in the track of the world's com
merce In its triumphal march around the
globe.
"There is a tendency in all human af
fairs in government, trade and commerce
to concentration and combination. Mete
ors go to the sun, small nations are be
coming parte of great nations, and Cuba
In her present environment, situated as
she is, cannot be expected to resist this
tendency. '
"The effect of the Piatt amendments
will be to help bring about annexation. A
nation cannot long remain half free and
half dependent; euch a condition embar
rasses healthy progress in national life
and leaves but little room for the exercise
of the genius and intelligence of a people
in the affairs of government, especially
when under' 6uch restrictions as these
amendments impose.
"The question of annexation forces itself
to the front and will claim, from now on
the attention of the people of both coun
tries. Reciprocity with Cuba affords no ad
equate remedy for what threatens her In
terests. A 20 per cent reduction in her
tariff and ours -will do Cuba as a people
or as a Government little or no good,
while It will -work great harm to the in
terests of the United States. There was
long discussion and fierce opposition to
the annexation of Texas much more, 1
think, than there will be to the annexation
of Cuba. There Is not a loyal and true
American to be found within the confines
of the Republic who would give up Texas,
and within a few years after Cuba be
comes a state in our Union not an Ameri
can -will be found willing to part with the
island."
Elkins, in closing, said too much had
been said about what we owed to Cuba,
and how much depended upon our rela
tions -with the island. He added:
"Our able Secretary of War, who con
quered -with hi3 cold and frosty Intel
lect and never had a hot thought, never
was swayed by passion in life, deliber
ately wrote down those words in his
report: The peace of Cuba is necessary
to the peace of theUnited States.' Now.
who on earth believes that?"
He continued to ridicule the idea, which
he said permeated statements in the
-Senate, saying that it was extravagant
talk and it was everywhere. "It Is all
through the country. It Is an 'epidemic"
Piatt (Conn.), while he disclaimed any
Intention of replying in extenso tolhe
gentleman's remarks,, said that the Cu
bans might mot understand that Elkins,
in his resolution and in his remarks,
represented only his personal opinion.
Hanna took sharp Issue with Elkins for
his assertion that Presidents from Jef
ferson to McKlnley had favored Cuban
annexation. Referring to reciprocity with
Cuba, Hanna' declared he did not think
the question had been decided. Whether
we owed anything to Cuba or not. we
certainly owed something to ourselves.
He said this country was under moral
obligations to Cuba and suggested sig
nificantly that soon an opportunity would
be offered to show whether the policy of
McKlnley and Roosevelt was to be upheld
in this country. 'JMy opinion Is," said
he, "that we shall hear from the people
in unmistakable terms. It is the policy
of the Administration today, as it would
have been of McKlnley had he lived,
to treat the country of Cuba as a ward.
To talk of annexation at this time Is not
fair to Cuba, Just starting upon its
national existence and even before she
has had time to prove what she can do."
Elkins declared he could find no obli
gation which the United States owed
Cuba and he challenged Hanna and Piatt
to indicate such an obligation.
"We do stand Indebted to Cuba," Inter
jected Bailey, "at least to the extent of
the money expended by" General Wood
for the advancement of the Cuban re
ciprocity propaganda ' and to influence
leaders of thought in this country."
Bacon Inquired of Elkins what his

SENATOR STEPHEN B. ELKINS, OP WEST VIRGINIA.
Ao.o
opinion was of General Wood's payment
of money to Mr. Thurber.
"Situated as he was," replied' -Elkins,
"I might have felt justified to spend the
money."
"I don't believe," interrupted Bailey,
"that tho Senator from West Virginia
would have expended the money. It la
Impossible to find words strong enough
to condemn a man who would take money
even from his own government fpr such
a purpose."
The following bills were, passed among
others: To pay to Rear-Admiral W. S.
Schley, retired, the pay and allowance
of a Rear-Admiral on the active list;
appropriating $10,000 for the erection of
a statue of Commodore John D. Sloat in
the City of Monterey, Cai.; for the
allowance of certain war claims re
ported by the accounting officers of the
united States Treasury Department,
and authorizing the adjustment of the
rights of settlers on the Navajo Indian
Reservation, Arizona.
At 2:20, the Senate went into executive
session until 2:50 P. M. The resolution of
fered several days ago by Bailey calling
on the Secretary of State for papers In
the case of Bellenberg vs. Scott, includ
ing all communications sent to or received
from the American Ambassador to Mex
ico, was laid before the Senate.
Bailey said he had encountered such de
lay In the refusing of this information by
the State Department as had forced him
to conclude that the officials of the de
partment were either "grossly Incompe
tent or shamefully indifferent to the rights
of an American citizen in a foreign land." (
Dr Spntt. an American citizen, hovlntr f
had his rights denied by a Mexican court,
had appealed to our Ambassador to Mex
ico, whp had advised him to leave Mex
ico. An appeal was made direct to the
State Department, and the effort to got
relief had been, Bailey said, in vain.
Bailey declared that he himself had been
unable to obtain the papers his resolution
called for.
"If," he asserted, "one-half of what has
been reported to me is true, then I will
present papers to this Senate which will
compel the recall of the Ambassador to
Mexico and the retirement of the solicitor
of the State Department."
The Texas Senator declnred that the
American Ambassador to Mexico himself
was connected with a mining operation
linked with the claim of Dr. Scott. He
said in response to an Inquiry of Bever
idge that he had been informed at the
State Department that whatever action
the American Ambassador had taken had
been with a view to the best Interests of
all concerned.
The Senate insisted on the one amend- '
ment still in controversy in the naval op-
propriation bill, and Perkins, Hale and '.
Tillman were named as conferees.
Patterson and Hanna then defended Am
bassador Clayton. The latter said Am-
bassador Clayton had been connected with
the mining company In Mexico merely as
the representative of a relative who held
stock in the corporation.
Burton said he had examined all the
papers and had had no difficulty in get
ting them, and he felt that Dr. Scott was
being "outrageously treated and likely to
be robbed of all his money." He had no
reflections, however, to make upon the
American Ambassador.
Bailey asserted that a petition had been
presented to the President by Americans
In Mexico praying for the recall of Am
bassador Clayton, because "he had been
recreant to his hieh dutv" in nrotectlnc
their Interests from "the Injustice of j
-Mexican courts."
Bailey and Beveridge.
Then followed Bailey's colloquy with
Beveridge, to whom he referred as "the
brilliant leader of the Administration
forces and the able defender of the Ad
ministration forces, who had earned that
title by his services to his party." Bailey
said he labored at a disadvantage before
the department because of his political af
filiations. .Be'erldge Insisted that this
was unbelievable. He rniilri nnf Vioii-..
that any Senator of whatever party would j
not receive a kindly hearing before any j
uepartment, whether the Administration
was Republican or Democratic
"T Vnnw " IncktoH "Rnll' Vio T vn..A
no such hearing in the department as a
Kepuoncan senator, ana we may as well
be candid about it."
Bailey maintained that the .American
Ambassador, as indicated by the papers In
the case, was either dishonest or lncom-
pctent. In either case he ought to be re
moved. He declared that the United States
ought to be represented at the Mexican
capital by -a man "whose brain and con
science both were capable of the highest
service."
Beveridge warmly defended Judge Pen
field, solicitor of the State Department,
who, he declared, was a man of eminence
as a lawyer and jurist, and of stainless
character. He declared that Bailey had
attacked Judge Pcnficld by Innuendo and
Insinuation, and that Innuendo and insin
uation had extended to the Ambassador
to Mexico and to the Secretary of State
himself. He characterized Bailey's refer
ences to Judge Penfield as an "unwar
ranted attack."
To tnis Bahey took sharp exception, and
he urficd that Beveridge "withdraw that
insinuation."
"I make no insinuation." retorted Bev
eridge. "If the Senator will withdraw
his words about a high official of the State
Department, I will be very glad, Indeed,
to withdraw my words."
"The assertion," said Bailey, hotly,
"that I have made an unwarranted at
tack upon a man whom, the Senator de
scribes as being as honorable as myself,
I want to say now Is so offensive that it
Is deserving only of such a reply as the
rules of the Senate will not permit me
to make here. Neither the Senator from
Indiana nor any other man can insult me
and require me to withdraw what I have
sa.a in the performance of my duty before
he withdraws his insulting remarks."
Beveridge declined to withdraw his
?
words. saying that Bailey was entirely too
sensitive. "He knows very well," said
Beveridge (referring to Bailey), "that the
words, 'unwaranted attack.' were not an
Insult and not Intended to be. The Sen
ator from Texas employediextrarodlnarily
violent 'language concerning the solicitor
of the State Department. The Senator
is not Insulted." he declared, "but only
sensitive."
In a later colloquy, Bailey said: "I can
fathom the intelligence of every man in
this chamber, except that of the Senator
from Indiana."
"I am glad to know," retorted Bever
idge, "that you are beyond your depth."
Fairbanks at this point said that he had
communicated with Solicitor Pcnfleld since
the debate had arisen, and was convinced
that the trouble Bailey found himself In
had grown out of a misunderstanding.
Every paper in the case wasjit the dis
posal of Bailey, and he knew that Solicitor
Penflekl had no Intention of inconvenienc
ing thu Texas Senator. ,
Bailey directed attention to ttiefact
that Beveridge had not withdrawn the
"offensive" words he had used toward
him.
Beveridge replied that Bailey had not
withdrawn the violent language he had
employed toward Judge Penfield, and said
lie (Beveridge) had disclaimed any inten
tion of insulting Bailey, but he did not
think his characterization of Bailey's
words was too strong.
At Bailey's request, the resolution final
ly was referred to the committee on for
eign relations with power to Investigate
the case and report on it
Lodge, chairman of the committee on
Philippines, called up the conference re
port on the Philippine Government bill,
and at his Instance It was ordered printed.
He gave notice that he would call It up
tomorrow morning.
A bill was passed for f.he relief of set
tlers on public lands granted In aid of the
construction of wagon roads.
The Senate at 5:20 went Into executive
cession, and 10 minutes later adjourned.

AFTER MELTING TRUST.
Proceeding Begun In Colorado to
Dissolve It.
DENVER, June, 30. Proceedings on
behalf of the State of Colorado to dis
solve the smelter trust were started In
the Supremo Court today.
In a voluminous complaint, filed by Attorney-General
Post. it. is set forth that
the American Smelting & Refining Com
pany and several ether smelter con
cerns are in a combine to restrict com
petition in the smelting business; that
the results of the monoply are Injurious
to the industries of the State: that it is
violating the laws, and that It Is pay
ing unreasonable, dividends upon exces
sive and fictitious capitalization. The
complaint concludes with a demand that
the defendants be adjudged to have
forfeited their rights to do business In
the State and that they be ousted and
forever excluded from doing business in
the State, and that a receiver bo appoint
ed to take charge of their property. The
court stated that in fairness to the de
fendants, they should receive notifica
tion of the suit therefore, filing of pro
ceedings was withheld until they can be
Informed of the contents of the Attorney
General's complaint. The hearing of the
State's right to proceed with the suit

TIMELY RESCUE OF A WOMAN
IN OREGON, ILL.
How She "Was Saved Prom a Horri
ble Death. When AH Hope Was
Gone The Story In Her Own
"VVards.v
"I hope never to go through such an
experience again," said Mrs?. C. L. Mc
Dowell, of Oregon, 111., whose narrow
escape from death is test told In her
own words.
"I was always weakly," she contin
ued, "but In 1894 the childbed fever in a
very severe form left me In a miserable
condition. My blood turned to water,
and it seemed Y could not recover any
strength. It was white as a sheet,
without any ambition, and so low that
no one thought I would ever get well.
In addition to all this I had neuralgia In
its worst form. My grandmother died
with neuralgia, and I was afraid it
would take me away. I cannot tell you
how I suffered with It for years. It
was terrible."
"But how were you cured?" asked the
reporter.
"The best doctors could not help me,
and I never thought I could get well,"
replied Mrs. McDowell. "But one day
I read an advertisement of Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
concluded to try them. I found relief
lnthe first box, so I continued to take
them. The neuralgia gradually grew,
less severe, until It 'disappeared alto
gether, my color returned, I gained In
strength, and now my blood Is in good
condition again."
The pills which cured Mrs. McDowell,
are an unfailing specific for all diseases
arising from disorders of the blood and
nerves. Among th many diseases they
have cured are locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after-effects of the grip, palpi
tation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, and all forms of weakness,
either in male or female. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by
all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on

the aforesaid defendants for the specific
and deliberate purpose of creating a.
monopoly of the business of smelting and
refining gold and silver and other valu
able ores and metals as aforesaid, and to
substantially engross the same, contrary
to the public policy and the laws of the
State of Colorado."
Subsequent to the Incorporation of tho
American Smelting & Refinlrig Company,
It is said that this company unlawfully
conspired with and Induced the other de
fendants to transfer to it all the plants
In the State for a consideration of 563
000.000, each concern to receive Its proper
share. The Philadelphia smelter, at
Pueblo, It is stated, was conveyed to the
trust for 135.000,000 in stock of the Ameri
can Company. Then follows a severe
arralngment of tho company's methods,
particularly excessive charges "for tho
smelting and reduction of the gold and
silver ores which- are shipped to it by tho
people of said State," conniving with rail
roads to destroy competition and "wrong
fully keep back for its own uses the dif
ference between the published freight
rates and the said secret rates wrongfully
secured by said American Smelting &
Refining Company as aforesaid."
The trust now refuses to receive for
smelting all of the gold and silver ores
offered to it by the citizens of Colorado,
It is stated, and "that said American
Smelting & Refining Company, In order
to further carry out Its said conspiracy
and unlawful monopoly, and In disre
gard of its public duties and obligations,
has shut down and dismantled divers
of its smelting and refining plants to the
great injury of the public said Ameri
can Smelting & Refining Company was
supposed to serve. That said plants
were prosperous and going concerns prior
to their conveyance to said American
Smelting & Refining Company as afore
said, and would but for said conduct
of said American Smelting & Reflnirig
Company be prosperous and going con
cerns to this day."
Further in the complaint It Is alleged
that "by reason of the awe which said
American Smelting & Refining Crnpmy
has Inspired in the hearts of the railway
managers In the State of Colorado, there
by securing secret and more favorable
freight rate3 than are enjoyed by the

unreasonable charges demanded and re

splendid health, the endowment of a
healthy mother.

the mother health to give her child! It
cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless
ness. It makesthe body comfortable and
the. mind content. It gives physical
vigor and muscular elasticity so that the
baby's advent is practically painless.
"I will endeavor to tell vou of the many
benefit; I have derived from taking Dr. Piercfs
Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. B. I?. Robert
son, of Medicine Lodge. Barber Co.. Kans. In
the fall of 1899 I was expecting to become a
mother and suffered terriblv with pains in the
back bfjhcnd ; in fact I ached all over. Suffered
with awful bearing-down pains; I was threat
ened for weeks with mishap. A lady friend
told me to use Dr. Pierce's medicines. She had
lalien them nnd felt like a new woman. I bcan
using the ' Favorite Prescription and took four
bottles before my baby came and two after
wards. I suffered almost death with my other
two children, but hardly realised that I was
sick when this baby was born and she weighed
twelve and one-qnarter pounds. She is now
hour's 'sickness; at present she weighs thlrty
serea pounds. I owe it all to JDr. . P'-rce's
