RELIEF FOR CUBA
Coupled With Invitation to
Enter United States,
WAS SUGGESTED BY NEWLANDS
lie Opposes Sentimental Legislation
That Will Only Help the Plant-
er of -the Island Iloliert-
ton Has Objection.
WASHINGTON. April 5. Three separate
minority reports on the Cuban reciprocity
bill were filed today by Representatives
Robertson of Louisiana, Newlands of Ne
vada, and Cooper of Texas, all Demo
crats. Mr. Robertson says in part:
"The bill, if enacted into law, would
afford no relief to the Cuban treasury. I
believe that the benefits would go Into
the pockets of a few supsx planters .own
ing thousand of acres of land. The 20
per cent reduction would not go to the
relief of the Cuban people, but would 'go
immediately and entirely to fill the al
ready overflowing coffers of the sugar re
finers of the United States, known by the
name of the sugar trust."
Mr. Robertson expresses astonishment
that one of his Democratic associates (Mr.
McCIellan), in h!e report, refers to the
bill as an enunciation of "the Democratic
doctrine of reciprocity." Mr. Robertson
adds:
"It seems to me that that kind of reci
procity is absolutely Impossible under a
Democratic tariff. Should the tariff ever
be revised on the line and plane of the
principles of the Democratic party, reci
procity would be entirely unnecessary and
impossible, as the rates would not be pro
hibitive, and the extension of our trade
would, as a natural consequence, flow
from the Imposition of such tariff rates
without the necessity of reciprocity."
3r. Newlands makes an elaborate pre
S"ntatlon, reviewing the political and com
merical phases. In conclusion, he says:
"The American people are becoming
tired of sentimental legislation. We have
spent $200,000 000 in a war to free Cuba.
We have spent J309.000.COO in attempting to
carry civilization to the Philippines. It
is now proposed by the sentimentalists
that we should inaugurate legislation
changing our finance system, not for the
benefit of the American consumers, nor
for the benefit of our agricultural classes,
which have thus far received little of the
benefit of our financla. legislation, but
for the purpose of diverting to the Cuban
planters. In order to relieve their threat
ened economic distress, a very large
amount of money. I am willing to extend
this sentimental legislation to Cuba for a
reasonable priod, provided It is accom
panied by an Invitation to Cuba to be
come a part of the United States. I wleh
to give Cuba full opportunity of delibera
tion, and I am willing to relieve her ne
cessities so that this deliberation shall not
be disturbed by acute economic distress,
but I am opposed to the legislation, un
less we give Cuba clearly and unequivo
cally to understand that If she wishes
commercial union with this country and
conditions of commerce not enjoyed by
other Independent nation", she must seek
political union with us In the form of an
nexation as a part of the Republic."
Mr. Cooper's report s brief, and ex
presses general opposition to the bill.
Police Court Juries Abolished.
HAVANA, April 5. The jury system In
police courts throughout the island has
been abolished by the Secretary of Jus
tice. The Audcncia courte asked for the
abolition of the system, as it had proved
to be a failure.
PHILIPPINE BILL XEXT.
After It Will Follow the Nicaragua
Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 5. The Republic
an steering committee of the Senate to
day decided to recommend that the bill
providing a form of government for the
Philippine archipelago should be made the
unfinished business, which 13 the place of
preference on the Senate calendar after
the disposal of the Chinese exclusion bill
and that th-j Nicaragua canal bill should
be next assigned to that position. The
question of reciprocity with Cuba wis
not discussed, owing to the fact that the
bill is still in the House. It is the general
understanding among Senators that this
being a revenue measure, it is privileged.
Members of the steering committee ex
press the opinion that the discussion of
the Philippine bill will not greatly be
prolonged and friends of the canal bill
assert that there will be ample time, for
its consideration before final adjournment
of Congress.
The Republican members of the House
insular committee practically completed
the Philippine bill today and a print of
the revised measure will be submitted to
the Democratic members next week. As
now changed, the bill reduces the num
ber of Philippine Commissioners to the
United States from three to two. The
civil government plan and the gold stand
ard coinage are preserved as framed some
time ago. A change is made in the friar
lands section, by which the Philippine
Commission will determine the methods
of opening these lands to homesteaders.
FOWLER FIXAXCIAIf BaL.
House Gommlttee Orders a Favorable
Report On It.
WASHINGTON. April 5. The House
committee on banking and currency, by a
vote on party lines, today ordered a fa
vorable report on the financial bill framed
by the Republican members of the- com
mittee and introduced by Chairman Fow
ler, "to maintain the gold standard, pro
vide an elastic currency, equalize the
rates of interest throughout the country
and further amend the National banking
laws."
The details of the measure were given
when Fowler introduced it, and since
then the changes have not affected any of
the principles of the bllL It brings to
gether many plans which have heretofore
been urged separately. A division of bank
ing and currency is created in the Treas
ury Department, with a board of control
of three members, superseding the pres
ent Controller of the Currency. The
methods by which banks may take out
circulation are provided; the parity of the
silver dollar with gold is established;
provision for the establishment of branch
National banks Is made; silver bullion
in the Treasury Is to be coined Into sub
sidiary silver: guaranty funds are pro
vided to protect against insolvent banks.
Irrigation Bill Amended.
WASHINGTON, April 5. The House
committee on irrigation today amended
the Irrigation bill in accordance with the
understanding arrived at during recent
conferences between the President and Its
advocates. The amendments prevent spec
ulative entries and provide that nothing

state streams.
For General Brooke's Promotldn.
WASHINGTON, April 5. Senator Quay

Captain Cr oiler's Appointment.
WASHINGTON, April 5. The adverse
report on'jhe nomination of Captain .Will
iam B. Crozier, to be Chief of Ordnance,
came up in the Senate in executive ses
sion today and went over until Monday.
John A. Hull, son of Representative Hull,
of Iowa, was confirmed as a Major is
the Judge Advocate-General's Depart
ment. Captain Crozier said" today, fti referring
to the published statement that the un
favorable report of the Senate military
committee on his nomination was based
-on the charge that he was interested in
certain ordnance patents:
"I have no Interest In the use by the
United States of any invention. Those
for which I have patents the Government
is free to use, and the members of the
committee all know it, as I surrendered
my legal rights without ever taking any
profit for them from the United States,
either directly or indirectly, and the evi
dence thereof has been presented to the
committee."
NEW YORK EXCISE LAW.
Policemen Hold a Meeting and De
cide to Close Saloons To Say.
NEW YORK, April 5. At a meeting of
policemen of Greater New York today
it was decided that the policemen would
do all in their power to keep closed every
liquor saloon In the city tomorrow. Each
of the SI precincts of the city was repre
sented. A. number of the men present
pledged themselves to make arrests for
excise violations tomorrow, even though
they might not be on duty when such
cases were called to their attention. It
was agreed that experienced men would
be In each stationhouse and magistrate's
court to aid in obtaining warrants when
they might be required. When entrance
cannot be obtained to a barroom where
drinks are being sold, the policeman on
post will visit a magistrate, after first
telling his captain what he Is going to
do, and get a warrant for the barkeep
er's arrest. It is understood among the
men that the enforcement of the law is
not to cease at sundown.
The ministers who are members of the
New York conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church now in annual ses
sion here adopted a resolution indorsing
the New York policemen for rebelling
against the system of police protection,
which, it Is alleged, has been in vogue
In this city for several years.
Twenty-eight local bodies, represent
ing 8000 saloon-keepers, forming the
Liquor Dealers' Association of New
York . City and vicinity, at spe
cial meetings just held, are stated to
have decided to compel the police to en
force every blue law on the statute books
next Sunday. They propose that not only
shall saloons be closed on that day, but
that every store and place of business
open contrary to law shall be shut up as
well. This move is in retaliation for the
sudden action of the police In enforcing
the excise law against the saloon men.
State excise agents for more than a
.month past have been at work in and
about New York getting evidence against
druggists who violate the liquor tax law
b selling liquor In quantities less than
five wine gallons and without a physi
cian's prescription. This has resulted In
the Issuance by the State Excise Depart
ment of 200 notices calling upon that num
ber of druggists to forfeit 5500 under the
terms of their license. The druggists are
preparing to resist the collection of those
fines, amounting to $100,000.
Police Doing: Their Dnty.
NEW YORK, April 6. It was quite ap
parent at 1 o'clock this (Sunday) morn
ing, in many sections of the city, that

sideration to what occurred at the po
licemen's meeting yesterday afternoon,
for they closed their places at 12 o'clock
sharp.

XT THE LONDON THEATERS.
"Ben Hut" Provokes Much Adverse
Comment.
LONDON, April 5. "Bea Hur," which
was produced at the Drury Lane The
ater lo?t Thursday evening, la not likely
to achieve success here until it Is re
modeled. The lack of skill in dealing
with religion Is strongly condemned by
the newspapers, and caused a great deal
of "booing" and hissing on the opening
night. The general opinion is that the
play should end with the chariot race.
This Is well voiced In the London Times,
which says: "Any capable hack play
wright could have, put together a better
setting for the features of the story and
we should be spared the unedlfylng mix
ture of religious elements with that par
ticular kind of melodrama which has its
home at Drury Lane.'
Charles Frohman 'has secured the
American rights of "The Countrty
Manse," by Arthur Law. now running
successfully at the Prince of Wales
Theater. Mr. Frohman also secured
from Captain Marshall, the author of
"The Second In Command," his new play,
which will be produced at the Haymar
ket Theater next October. Mr. Froh
man is also planning Maude Adams' sea
son In London, beginning September, 1903,
and commencing with the production of
"L'AIglon," but as many preliminary an
nouncements of Miss Alams' approaching
appearance have not been followed by
her debut here, Londoners are becom
ing skeptical of seeing her.
Mrs. Brown Potter's much-heralded
appearance as Calypso In "Ulysses," at
Her Majesty's Theater, scarcely justified
the preliminary fuss. The critics are
not very enthusiastic over her rendering
of the part. They think her predecessor.
Miss Nancy Price, was a better Calypso.
Attempted Assnasinntian nt Moscow.
MOSCOW, April 5. Another attempt to
assassinate M. Trepoff, the .Moscow Pre
fect of Police, was frustrated yesterday
afternoon.
A man seeking a personal Interview
with the prefect applied at M Trepoff's
office and upon being refused admittance
drew a dagger and attempted to kill the
official In charge of the ante-room. Jt
was evidently Ills intention to force an
entrance into M. Trepoff's private office.
The would-be assassin was disarmed
after a hard struggle.

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
Gould and Clark Combine la a
Transcontinental Line.
LOS ANGELES, Cal April 5. The Her
ald says:
Los Angeles will be the Pacific Coast
terminus of the Gould railway system.
The Gould and Clark Interests have com
bined at either side of the continent. Sen
ator W. A. Clark having joined with
George J. Gould In the building of a road
from Pittsburg to the Atlantic seaboard,
and Mr. Gould becoming Interested in the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
road. These associations will give the
Gould system a continuous line of roads
across the continent, beginning with the
Salt Lake: then the Rib Grande Western
and the Denver & Rio Grande to Denver;
the Missouri Pacific to St. Louis; the
Wabash to Pittsburg, and the West Vir
ginia Central, with projected extensions,
to the Atlantic.
Charles W. Clark, the Senator's son,
who Is now In Los Angeles, and J. Ross
Clark, brother of the Senator, who has
the management of the SjUt Lake Rail
road, would only partly affirm the report
of the combination of the Gould and Clark
lntreests. "I haven't received any direct
Information concerning a combination
with Mr. Gould," said J. Ross Clark.' "It
seems probable, and such action at Salt
Lake would give Mr. Gould the long
sought outlet to the Pacific, but I can't
enlighten you further."
EUREKA fc EASTERN PROJECT.
Harrixnnn Said to Be in It Construc
tion "In the Spring." - .
George H. Proctor, of the Finance Com
pany, of 27 William street, New York,
sends the Railway Ago the following In
formation in regard to the Eureka & East
ern Railway, arrangements for building
which are said, to have been completed
by the Finance Company:
"Preliminary surveys have already been
received, ehowlng the maximum grade
of less than 2 per cent between Eureka
and Redding, Cal.. with an extreme alti
tude of only 4000 feet. From Redding, east
and north, the line reaches an altitude of
5000 feet, and avoids necessity for snow
sheds. The Eureka & Eastern will form
a connection with the Northern Pacific
near Boise, Idaho, and with the Oregon
Short Line, enabling the lumber inter
ests of Humboldt County to ship their
products into the Eastern market. The
Imports and exports from the port of Eu
Teka are valued at over J6.000.O0O annually.
This railway will serve a population of
nearly 250,000 people, who now have no
direct railway connections. The territory
which it will traverse has lumber, coal
mines, gold and copper mines and agricul
tural lands. The bonds are being under
written, and the work Is reported to be
progressing rapidly. The contract lor
building the road Is said to have been
awarded to Drake & Stratton. of New
York, work to begin in the Spring. It Is
reported that the road Is to be built In the
interest of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, and that the latter will
be extended from Butte, Mont., to Weiser,
Idaho, to connect with the proposed line.
A branch of the Eureka & Eern is to
be built from Falls River Mills. Cal.,
southeast to Wadsworth, Nev.. to tan the
Union Parlflc. Lord Thomas John Thur
lough, of London, England, is at the head
:l
of the syndicate, and associated with him
are- George H. Proctor, K. H. Harriman,
J. B Delamar, Robert Gibson, William
K. A. Wilson, and others.'
How the Eureka & Eastern Is to con
nect with the Northern Pacific near Boise
when It has no line within 200 miles of
that point is not quite clear. If the
Northern Pacific Is to build to meet near
Boise the mysterious line from. Humboldt
Bay, and the Great Northern is also to t
extend a road across, the mountains, from
Butte to a connection with the Eureka &
Eastern at Weiser, the enterprise means
an extensive mileage of new track.. Tha
statements concerning It leave so many
gaps open that the project Is not viewed
seriously by railroad men of this country.
It is regarded as a paper scheme for a
railroad in a region which the map now
shows rsot to be served by transportation
agencies.
Rio Grandei Also in It.
The Rio Grande lines quote the same
rates to the T. P. A. and A. O. U. W.
National conventions n Portland and the
United Presbyterian meeting In Tacoma
that are qupted by the other lines to the
Pacific Northwest. The Transcontinental
Passenger Association has authorized the
rates that all the lines are using, and the
same limits and, stop-over privileges apply
by every route.
The Union Pacific system, however, will
make Portland the Western destination of
tickets sold for the Tacoma meeting, ex
cept In cases where the purchaser desires
to return the same way. This will have
no effect on delegates or visitors to the
convention In Tacoma, but It will tend to
make Portland the destlratlon of a large
number of excursionist? who will take
advantage of the occasion tomake an
excursion to the 'North west. Tacoma will
then be" on their way home If they go that
way. or they may return by the South
ern lines, or make a side excursion In the
Northwest and return over the Rio
Grandes.
Wabash After a Tide-Water Line.
BALTIMORE, April 5. It la officially
announced here that the Wabash system
13 the real party in Interest in the bid
put In by the "Fullor Syndicate" for the
Interest of this city In the Western Mary
land Railroad, and that Joseph Ramsay.
Jr., president of the Wabash, has become
a member of It. The purpose of the syn
dicate Is to -secure the Western Maryland
for the purpose of giving to the Wabash
a line to tide-water, and it has offered
JS.COO.000 for the city's Interest. These
facts were brought out today at a hear
ing before the Council's special committee
having the matter In charge. ,
Will Cancel Secret Rates.
ST. PaHjl. April 5. Passenger officials
of the St. Paul-Chicago lines running
southwest Into Iowa and Nebraska have
decided to cancel all secret rates made for
the benefit of settlers and horaeseekers.
The special rates were all withdrawn to
day. This action Is due to the recent In
junctions issued at the Instance of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
served on the various roads running west
from Chicago.
New Railroad in Mexico.
MEXICO CITY. April 5. As a result of
the visit of General Miller's party, with
whom came President Loree, of the Balti
more & Ohio, it is announced today that
a new railroad will be built connecting
this city with the Pacific Coast. It Is
rumored that a concession Is given with
the understanding that work on the pro
posed line begin within 30 days and be
pushed on without stop until the line
is completed.
MR. SARGENT'S REPLY.
Says That La- Grande Correspondent
Fails to Point Oat Any Error.
PORTLAND, April 3. (To the Editor.)
In today's Issue of ypur paper the Rev.
Father L. Przyblyski, of La Grande, re
plies to my article which appeared last
Sunday and says that I "lapse Into er
ror." It Is very easy to say this, but I
have searched through his letter In vain
to find In what particular he finds me In
error. He does not controvert a single
statement by me made, but opens with
much pomp by saying that my error Is
"common to all whose mind, though
Surprising Results.
A Simple Internal Remedy Makes
Remarkable Cares of Catarrh.
People who have used sprays, Inhalers,
salves and washes for catarrh and bwo
found how useless and Inconvenient they
are, will be agreeably surprised as re
sults following the use of a pleasant in
ternal remedy in tablet form; druggists
everywhere admit that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, which they sell at -50 cents for
full-sized treatment, is the safest, most
effective and popular of all catarrh
remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain oplites; these
cheap medicines give a temporary relief,
especially with little children, by de
stroying rervo sensations; the Irritation
in throat which causes coughing is tem
porarily removed, not by removing the
cause but by deadening the nerves of
feeling the Irritation Is hot felt, although
It Is still there and will promptly return.
Stuxrt's Catarrh Tablets Is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secretion,
whether in the nose, throat or stomach,
because they are composed of whole
some antiseptics Blood Root?. Red Gum
from Eucalyptus tree, etc 'When you
use these tablets you know what you
are putting Into your system, and not
taking chances with cocilne, opiates or
similar poisons found in so many catarrh
cures and cough medicines.
Dr. Ramsdell, in commenting on ca
tarrh cures, says: T can heartily recom
mend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because
they contain no cocaine nor other danger
ous drug found In so many advertised
catarrh cures. I have known of many
cases of long-standing catarrh of the
head and throat completely cured by the
dally use of these tablets for several
weeks. One case In particular, which I
could not reach with an inhaler or spray,
and where the catarrh caused dally head
aches and a noticeable loss of hearing,
was entirely cured by this harmless but
effective remedy."
Dr. Walnwright says: T never hesi
tate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets for catarrhal headaches and catarrhal
deafness, because I know them to be
perfectly safe for child or adult, and
have seen many remarkable cures result
ing from their regular dally use; becauso
they are advertised and sold In drug
stores Is no reason why any good physi
cian should not use them, because we
should seize upon the means of euro
wherever found." ,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are specially
valuable for catarrhal colds in children,
because they are pleasant to the taste
and may be used freely to break up se
vere colds and croup at the very beginning.

G. B. CROWE, M. D.
Dr. G. B. Crowe, a physician and a very influential man In Ala
bama, and Chairman of the Populist State Committee, in a recent
letter to Dr. Hartman of Columbus, Ohio, says:
Washington, D. C.
"Pe-ru-na is a most valuable medicine. It affords me unlimited
pleasure to testify as to the merits of your remedy as a catarrh cure.
I have used it as such and find it is of very great benefit when my
nervous system is run down. I heartily recommend Pe-rit-na to all
whose nervous systems are deranged." Yours truly,
G. B. CROWE, M. D.
The nervous system Is the source of all
our bodily powers, mental or physical."
The brain and spinal cord generate the
power and the nerve fibers convey the
power to every part of the body.
It 13 the nerves that give the heart
power to beat; It Is the nerves that give
the arteries the power to contract, and
thus regulate the flow of blood through
them.
Each artery Is" provided with an elastic
or muscular coat, which Is capable of
contracUng or expandlrg so as to permit
more or lers blood to pass through, ac
cording to the needs of the body.
Wheji the nerves are paralyzed or weak
ened, this contractile power of the blood
vessels Is wholly or partly destroyed.
This produces congestion, especially of
the mucous membrane lining the various
organs of the body.
When this congestion continues for
some time It Is known as chronic catarrh.
The congestion may occur In the mucous
membrane lining the nose, throat, bron
amply filled with piece-knowledge, lacks
the comprehensiveness and lucidity of one
whose mind, by exact training, acquired
control over the intricacies of logic."
But the quesUons asked by my worthy
critic, and of which his letter Is largely
composcd, suggest to me that even his
"comprehensiveness and lucidity by exact
training" might be improved If he would
take the time to read any modern text
book on biology. For example: He takes
two statements from my letter, one that
human spermatozoa, mounted under cover
glasses and protected from evaporation,
have been observed to exhibit distinct
vlbratlle moUon after nine days; and
the other, that for a time the spermatozoa
remain Inactive after they have entered
the ovum, while the latter gets rid of
a part of Its Internal structure; and
then asks how I reconcile these state
ments. "I should think." he says, "that
human sperm, while It is protected from
evaporation, when mounted under cover
glasses, should 'a pari exhibit vlbratlle
moUon while having Its- head buried in
the soft, jelly-like substance of the egg.
What's then the reason that It should,
in that condlUon and place, where it 13
better protected than under a cover
glass, remain Inactive?"
I wonder If anyone else thought of this
profound criticism. But the explanation
Is simple; so simple indeed, that I ven
ture to hope that even he comprehensive
and lucid mind of the reverend gentle
man will be able to appreciate It. It Is
simply this: When the head of the sperm
cell is buried in the ovum. Its tail, the
only part that vibrates, drops off!
The correspondent would also like me
to state whether the theory I gave of
the cell, the fusion of the sperm and
ovum, and the subsequent process of di
vision, are matters of definite knowledge,
or only speculative and hypothetical. In
this age of enlightenment such questions
will cause a smile from anyone who
knows anything about the subject. Be
sides, I used the very strong -word,
"established," concerning them, and gave
references to the works of Plersol. pro
fessor of anatomy at the University of
Pennsylvania.-and of Conn, professor of
biology In the Wesleyan University. Does
the reverend gentleman really want In
formation, or is he endeavoring to es
cape from the effect of the facts given?
I am somewhat surprised that my critic
charges me with "declaring" Father
Schmltt's assertion that the soul was
created "In prima nctu conceptlonls" to
be "only a pious wish." I "declared" no
such thing, but hoping that this may be
an unintentional error, I beg to refer him
to what I did say.

for better things. The Democratic party,

footing for tariff reform. We have the Im
pression, indeed, that tho Atlanta Con

this Improvement in legislation In earlier
days. The Democratic party, as it has
been In tho last six years, has so bog
gled affairs that it will take toward half
a generation to so constitute the United

have a majority there. Our hope, there

tariff reform being achieved through a
Democratic majority In joint action in
