    THE MOROTKG OREGONIATS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1903
TO VOTE ON BILL
House Fixes Thursday
in Cuban Matter.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSE RULE
Declare It Prevents Taking
Up of Amendments.
MINORITY REPORT SENT IN
Payne Opens the Discussion, for the
Measure-Williams and Other
Prominent Democrats Criti
cise the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. The House
today made a fair start on the legis
lation for which it -was convoked in
special session, adopting a rule under
which a vote "will be taken at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon on the bill to make
the Cuban reciprocity treaty effective,
and entering: on a debate of the Cuban
bilL Tho rule was adopted by a party
vote, with the exception that six Repub
lican members from lichigan and Col
orado Joined the minority in opposition
to the rule. The Democrats opposed the
rule on the ground that It was drastic
and prevented a vote being taken on any
amendment to the bill, while the six Re
publican votes cast against it included
opposition to the measure as antagonistic
to beet-sugar interests.
The short debate which preceded the
adoption of the rule was followed by sev
eral speeches on the merits of the meas
ure. Payne opened the debate In a short
epoch, whose keynote was that the meas
ure would not affect. Injuriously, sugar,
tobacco or any other interests, and was
znado by National honor and good faith.
Por tho minority representatives Will
lams (Miss.), Swanson (Va.) and Robin
Bon (Ind.) made speeches, criticising the
Republicans for their tariff policy and
the excessive taxation of the public.
Tariff Vill Be Issue Again.
Swanson predicted danger to our foreign
commerce from higher foreign tariffs, un
less we Initiate tariff reforms, and de
clared the tariff question again would
become a burning political issue.
A minority report, setting forth the
views of 'WIlliamB (Dem., Miss.), Swanson
(Dem., Va.), McClellan (Dem., N. T.) and
Clark (Dem., Mo.). Cooper (Dem., Tex.),
also a member of the minority on the
ways and means committee, presented a
long report, condemning the Cuban treaty
in toto.
Whan the House convened, Dalzell (Pa.)
reported a resolution prbvldlng that the
bill reported from the ways and means
committee should be considered to the ex
clusion of all other business, until A
o'clock Thursday, when a vote will be
taken without intervening motion.
Williams (Dem., Miss.), speaking for
the minority in opposition to the rule,
declared it was about the most drastic
rule ever introduced in the House, saying
It shut off all right to perfect the bill.
He said the minority desired to offer an
amendmont, which .proposed to strike out
the "double-barreled pledge" contained in
the bill. Applause from the Democratic
clde greeted the statement that the bill
tears down one-fifth of the schedules
built up by the Republicans.
The amendment It was desired to offer
was the one decided on in the Democratic
caucus Saturday night.
Dalzell, replying to the charge that the
rule was a most drastic measure, reverted
to the time when the Wilson bill was
pending and Crisp was speaker, saying he
commended the minority to a study of
their own parliamentary history.
Williams demanded the yeas and nays
on the adoption of tho rule, and they were
ordered. The rule was adopted, 176 yeas
to 155 nays.
With the announcement of the vote,
Williams asked unanimous consent to
propose an amendment to the rule for a
yea and nay vote on the amendmont pro
posed by tho minority, with 20 minutes'
discussion on each side, a vote then to be
taken on the bill. Payne (N. Y.) objected.
The House then went Into committee of
tho whole, with Sherman (N. Y.) in the
chair. The minority voted unanimously
against the rule. The Republicans voting
against its adoption were: Smith (Mich.),
Fordney (Mich.), Loud (Mich.), McMor
raa (Mich.), Brooks (Colo.) and Hogg
Colo.).
Payne Speaks for the Bill.
Payne opened tho debate, urging the
passage of the bill. He said no harm
would be brought to the sugar industry
by the legislation now proposed, and like
wise the tobacco industry could not be
harmed by the proposed new arrange
ment. Ho argued that no Industry would
be affected by the perfection of the treaty.
He saM. In reply to an inquiry, that ho
c id not expect new industries to be estab
lished while this question was being agi
tated. "Our National pride appeals to us
to pass the bill," said Payne, in conclu
sion. Williams (Dem., Miss.) denied that the
minority desired to amend the bill, in or
der to kill it, or to kill the treaty. Ho
read the minority report, giving the rea
sons why the minority desired to amend
the bill. Mr. Williams held the Repub
licans responsible for the fact that the
treaty Is not In effect today. Referring
to Payne, Williams said:
"As to that part of his speech which
advocates this 111 upon its merits, it is
almost as sudden a conversion as that of
St Paul on his way to Damascus: it is
almost as sudden an occurrence as was
this recent birth of the new Republic of
Panama."
Williams spoke only a few minutes, re
serving the right to close the debate for
the minority.
Holds Foreign Trade In Peril.
Swanson (Dem., Va.) discussed the
perils which he said threaten our foreign
commerce by the new tariffs passed in
other countries in retaliation for the
Dlngley act. He insisted that, unless con
cessions are made from the present tariff
"before long, all of Europe would be com
bined In commercial warfare against the
X'nlted States. He discussed Chamber
lain's policy, saying that 55 per cent of
our foreign trade was with the United
Kingdom and her colonies, all of which,
he said, was jeopardized by this policy.
Swanson then discussed the evil of
which he said resulted from the failure
of this country to negotiate a treat? with
Canada. The exclusive policy of the
Dlngley act, he declared, would destroy
our foreign commerce, and remarked that
the Republican party would never modify
It
RoblnSbn (Dem., Ind.), taking as his
text a treasury, statement, argued against
the Republican policy, which he said was f
that of excessive taxation.
A letter from Mr. Ball, of Texas, an
nouncing his resignation, was read.
The House adjourned at 4:50 P. M.
OREGON CONGRESSMEN IN(L1NE
Williamson, However, Is Not Much
in Sympathy With Rule or BUI.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 16. Both the Oregon and
Washington Congressmen voted today to
sustain the rule brought in for the con
sideration of the Cuban bill, and will later
vote for the bill itself. Representative
Williamson, apparently, was not much in
sympathy with either the rule or the bill.
Ho said, however, that his action must
necessarily be in accord with the Houso
leaders, in view of the favor he will later
ask on behalf of his Lewlsand Clark bill.
He said ho had found a tremendous senti
ment among Republican members against
the Cuban legislation and believed If an
honest vote, showing the true convictions
of all Republicans, could be had, the legis
lation would be overwhelmingly defeated.
OBJECTIONS OF MINORITY.
Cooper Holds Bill Violates Both Prin
ciples of the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. A minority re
port on the Cuban bill, setting forth the
views of Williams (Dem., Miss.), Swan
son (Dem., Va,), McClellan (Dem., N. Y.),
and Clark (Dem., Mo.), on the Cuban bill,
was filed in the House today. Cooper
(Dem., Tex.), also a member of the minor
ity on the ways and means committee,
presented a long report condemning tho
Cuban treaty in toto.
Mr. Cooper does not bellevo- Cuban reci
procity will benefit either Cuba or the
United States. In his opinion, he also
says there are grave doubts regarding the
constitutionality of the bill.
The proposed legislation, Mr. Cooper
Eays, is both un-Democratic and un-Re-publJcan.
Un-Democratic because tho
beneficiaries are the sugar refining inter
ests and some other special interests, and
the benefits they will receive will have to
be made good by an additional tax on the
whole people upon some other article. It
is un-Republican, in that it deliberately
seeks to injure and Interfere with a home
industry by lowering tariff rates which
protect that industry, thus directly invit
ing and stimulating a foreign Industry.
The treaty, he says, -violates both the prin
ciple of the tariff for revenue and tariff
for protection.
One of the "strongest objections to tho
bill lies against the extraordinary supple
mental provision prohibiting the House of
Representatives from, making any further
reductions in the duty on sugar during
the life of the treaty. Legislation, such as
is proposed in this bill, will assuredly
anger and alienate other friendly powers.
The roport states that the bill
should be amended by striking out tho
provision that no reduction In sugar duty
should be made during tho life of tho
treaty, declaring that one Congress has
no right to bind succeeding Congresses,
and by inserting an amendment striking
out the differential on refined sugar," Be
cause," the report says, "In our opinion
we would thereby deprive the great sugar
trust of this country of some of its power
to extort from the consumer; curtail its
power to bear down the price of the -raw
material, thereby injuring the sugar
planter, and lessen Its ability to dictate
to wholesale and retail dealers In sugar
the manner in which they shall do busi
ness, and the price at which they shall
sell refined sugar.
"The House during the 57th Congress
took this view and passed an amendment
identically worded as now proposed by
us. The House took that view after a full
investigation and a comparatively full
discussion of the question."
The report says, if the amendment is
adopted, the minority will gladly vote for
the bill, but even If defeated, they rec
ommend Its passage, "Because," the re
port states, "we think the good to be done
by Its passage will far overbalance tho
evil which will result from a failure to
take advantage of the opportunity to di
minish the power of the sugar trust and
the evil resulting from a bad precedent
proposing. Ineffectually, It is true, to pre
vent the country from still further reduc
ing duties upon Cuban sugars and upon
sugars from other countries whenever it
shall appear wise and expedient to do so
by reciprocal treaty agreement or by
statute law.
"As long as the present party is in
power, we can perhaps hope for tariff re
ductions and revision only from recipro
city treaties. It is a piecemeal process,
but it is better than no process at all.
We hall it as a harbinger of future re
ciprocity treaties with oTher countries,
especially those upon the American con
tinent, and notably our neighbor to the
North, the Dominion of Canada.'-'
CHINESE TREATY At HAND.
SJate Department Will Send It to the
Senate at Once.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. The long-expected
trade treaty between 'the United
States and China, which was negotiated
in Shanghai by the American Commis
sioners and the Chinese representatives,
has just reached Washington, and is now
under examination by tho State Depart
ment officials. It is the intention to sub
mit the new treaty for ratification to the
Senate at the earliest possible moment.
In brief, the Important provisions are
those opening to trade the Chinese ports
of Mukden and one in Manchuria.

"Brain Fag" Prevails In London.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Is "brain fag"
to be regarded as a distinguished feature
of life in the new century?" This is a
question seriously propounded by the
Dally Mall, says a London dispatch to the
Herald. Hundreds of replies have been
received from all classes of citizens, in
dicating the prevalence of the disease, the
chief symptoms of which -are a pain
around the sockets of the eyes and a phys
ical condition so languid and lifeless that
only the use of alcohol stimulants restores
the body temporarily to its normal habits.

HONOR NOTED CRUSADERS
W. C. T. U. JOURNEYS TO HOME
OF "MOTHER" THOMPSON.
Famous Ohio Movement Is Recalled
by National Delegates State Ju
bilee Night Observed.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 16. The Na
tional convention of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, -which began
here last Friday and Trill continue until
next Wednesday, is being held in the
Ninth-Street Baptist Church, where the
first gathering of its founders was held
soon after the crusade started In HIHs
boro, O., in 1873. Some of the original
crusaders still reside at Hlllsboro, among
them Mrs. Eliza Jane Thompson, who be
came known as "Mother" Thompson.
She Is the daughter of Alien Trimble, for
merly Governor of Ohio, and still resides
In their ancestral home with her son and
two daughters. Her husband was a prom
inent jurist. Mother Thompson is now In
her SSth year, and was unable to get
to the convention here, so the convention
went to her today. The distance is 61
miles. Excursion trains started early.
In addition to the 500 delegates, almost
as many more joined in the pilgrimage.
On the night of December 23, 1573, DIo
Lewis lectured on temperance at the old
Presbyterian Church in Hlllsboro. The
next morning a meeting of women was
called In the same-church Mrs. Thomp
son was chOBen president, Mrs. General
McDowell vice-president, and Mrs. Fen
ner secretary. After this meeting, 70
women, led by Mrs. Thompson and Mrs.
McDowell, formed in line and began the
street crusade, singing and praying and
exhorting saloonlsts to quit business. The
crusade soon spread throughout Highland
County, and later throughout the state.
A fine edifice has recently been erected
on tho site of the "old crusade church,"
and la It is a "crusade memorial room,"
with numerous mementos, among them a
hatchet which "Mother" Thompson had
used.
On their arrival the visitors were con
ducted over the same route taken by the'
70 original crusaders on the cold morning
of December 24, 1S73, and then they
marched Into the First Presbyterian
Church o Inspect the memorial room and
be received by Dr. Faulconer, the pas
tor. After prayer by Rev. Dr. McSur
ley, the crusade psalm was read and the
crusade hymn sung. Addresses were made
by tho National officers and others, with
responses from the Hlllsboro crusaders.
The programme In the church continued
one hour, when the delegates and others
formed In line to march to the. residence
of "Mother" Thompson, from which place
they proceeded to Armory Hall, where
the citizens served luncheon to all.
On reconvening in Cincinnati at 2 P. M.
there was a long discussion on the mo
tion to Include "the use of tobacco" In
the white-ribbon pledge. Notice was
given that a constitutional amendment
v.'ould be offered at the next annual con
vention on the prohibition of tobacco.
The "State Jubilee Night" was observed
tonight by the presidents of the states
having made a net gain in membership of
500 or over during the year as follows:
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Tennessee, Wisconsin, New York, Mis
souri, Southern California, Eastern Wash
