EGHOESOFGUBABILL
Statements Made by' Both
Sides in the House.
EFFECT OF MORRIS AMENDMENT
Fortifications Appropriation Bill Is
Paused, and Conference Report
on the Legislative Bill Is
Agreed To.
WASHINGTON. April 19. After the
turbulent scene of yesterday, marking the
passage of the revised Cuban reciprocity
bill, the House settled down to routine
business today. An opportunity was
found, however, for the two elements in
the recent struggle to give expression to
their feelings. This occurred while the
fortHicatlons appropriation bill was under
consideration. Grosvenor (Rep. O.), one
of the ways .and moans leaders, said that
the amendment which the opponents Of
the ways and means committee had en
grafted upon the Payne bill not only
wiped out the differential on sugar, but
also did away with the countervailing
duty of the Dlngley law.
Weeks (Rep. Mich.) made a spirited re
joinder In behalf of thooe who opposed
the ways and means committee. He
f lankly conceded that the motive of the
opposition had been to kill the reciprocity
b.K.
The fortifications appropriation bill was
parsed and the conference report upon the
legislative appropriation bill agreed to.
The Proceeding.
There was a buzz of excited comment on
the floor of the Houre when the session
bgan, and members gathered in groups
to discuss the stirring incidents of the
vote on Cuban reciprocity last night. The
subfect was not inferred to in the open
ing proceedings, however, except In Chair
man Payne's correcting the record of
some of the excited parliamentary spar
ring, and then the House turned o rou
tine business.
A resolution was agreed to for the pay
ment of the expenses Incident to the Mc
Kinley memorial exercises.
A bill providing for two additional Asso
ciate Justice in Oklahoma created rather
lively discussion on the provision that the
appointees shall be residents of the ter
ritory for one year.
Fleming (Dem. Ga.) slid the amendment
was designed to prevent "carpetbagglng."
Delegate Flynn (Rep. Okla. declared, in
supporting the proi'islon, that there was
the fullest confidence that the President
would respect the home-rule sentiment.
The bill was passed; also bills for a mon
ument marking the site of the Fort Phil
Kearney massacre: estibllshlng an addi
tional land office In Montana; regulating
the introduction of eggs and game birds
for propagation. Lacey stated that the
purpose of the last bill was to authorize
the Secretary of Agriculture to fix regu
lations by which there would be no propa
gation of undesirable birds, such as Eng
lish sparrows, but that the propagation
would be confined to desirable game
birds.
A bill was passed reserving from the
public lands in Oregon a public park for
the benefit of the people of the United
Stites and the protection and preserva
tion of the game, fish and timber and all
other natural objects.
The Senate amendments to an addition
al urgency deficiency bill were agreed to
and the bill now, goes to the President
for his approval. Saturday. May 10, wis
set aside to pay tribute to the memory
of the late Representative Polk, of Penn
sylvania. The House then took up the fortifica
tions appropriation bill. Hemenway, in
charge of the bill, explained that it car
ried an appropriation of $C,552,453, being
J80L556 less thin the current law.
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) took occasion to
talk on the action of the House on the
Cuban reciprocity bill. He said that the
differential on refined sugar had been
placed In the Dlngley bill against the pro
test of the sugar trust and at the request
of the beet-sugar producers. He said the
beet-eugar men had overreached them
selves. In order to accomplish the hu
miliation of certain members of the
House, they had not only struck off the
differential on sugar, but also the coun
tervailing duty on bounty produced sugar.
Referring to what might occur in the Sen
ate, he said the action of the House, by
the vote of the Democrats and the con
trolling factor in the House (the beet
sugar Republicans), had made it impos
sible for the Senate to remove the dif
ferential amendment. Any Senator who
voted to strike out the Morris amendment
would be suspected of favoring the trust.
Replying to General Grosvenor. Weeks
(Rep. Mich.), one of those prominent in
opposing the ways and means committee,
commented satirically on Grosvenor6 re
cent reference to the j-oung and Inexper
ienced members. Telegrams of congratu
lation had been pouring In today, Weeks
said, from the Governor of Michigan and
from those high in the councils of the Re
publican party, on the success of the
movement against the reciprocity bill.
With this home support behind them, ha
and his 'associates did not propose to
have the "riot act" read to them by the
gentleman from Ohio, or any other leader.
"Our motive was to kill that bill that
is the plain English of It," exclaimed
Weeks, "and we believe that It is killed,
and that if It ever comes back from the
Senate Its friends will not be able to
recognize it."
Cannon (Rep. 111.) stated that If the
Senate dealt with the bill as Weeks" sug
gested, the House would In due time and
in its own way deal with the amended
bill. Cannon's remark put the House in
good humor and brought the discussion
back to the fortifications bill.
An amendment by Cushman (Rep.
Wash.) was agreed to, for the purchase
of the exclusive rights, to a. high explosive
and making available $50,000 of a former
appropriation for this purpose. The bill
brought out much discussion, In the
course of which Tayler (Rep. O.) paid a
high tribute to General Cfozler, chief of
,the Bureau of Ordnance. The bill was
tfieh'fJisscd.
The conference on the legislative ap
propriation bill was agreed to.
At 3:40 the House adjourned.
EFFECT OF THE. CUBAN BtLL.
Payne Say Xt Removes the Cotmtcr
valllnsr Duty.
WASHINGTON, April 19. Very high
tension Tvas manifest anions the mem
bers of the House today as a. result of
the action of the HoUso lat night In
overriding the ways and meuns commit
tee on the Cuban reciprocity bill. Chair
man Payne took the reverse philosophi
cally. He pointed out that the effect of
the amendment was to take off not only
the differential duty on sugar, but also
the countervailing duty provided by the
Dlngley law, a result not intended by the
author of the amendment Mr. Payne
stated later in the day that the abolition
of the differential and countervailing du
ties effected an even greater reduction,
and less than he had at first estimated.
His earlier figures showed the counter
vailing duty to be between 26 and 27 cents
per hundred pounds. But this referred
to raw sugar, and the Countervailing
duty on the refined article was evert
more, namely, 3l3 cents per hundred
pounds. This, with the differential of
1Z5 cents, makes a total reduction on
refined sugar of S0.S conts per hundred
pounds.
Mr. Long, of the ways and means Com
mittee, also made estimates, which, In
his judgment, bore out the forepolng fig
ures, that the amendment would take off
in differential and countervailing duties
a total of 50.8 cents on refined sugar com
ing from Germany and Other, countries
giving bounties.
Representative Morris, of Minnesota,
who framed the amendment. Is examin
ing the Dlngley and other laws to deter
mine whether Mr. Payne's point la good.
Mr. Morris said that, from his lnqulry
so far. he did not think the claim was
good, but if It was the matter could
easily be remedied by amendment
The Senate is by no means decided as
to what It will do with the bill. The
measure reached the Senate a, few min
utes after that body convened today, and
was received with exceptional interest
whlcn was made evident by the com
ments of Senators. The bill goes to the
committee on relations with Cuba, which
is composed of seven Republicans and
Tour opposition Senators, Mr. Piatt of
Connecticut being chairman. When
asked today if he felt disposed to out
line his view of the probable course of
the committee with reference to the
measure. Senator Piatt declined to say
more than that a meeting would be
called at an early date to decide upon a
course of action, merely adding:
"We are not going to lose our compo
sure, but will consider the question care
fully." The best opinion is that the bill will
remain in committee for some time, and
a Republican Senator suggested the pos
sibility of an investigation Into the ques
tion of the probable beneficiaries under
the proposed reduction If made.
If the bill had passed the House with
out amendment removing the differential
on refined sugar, it would have received
the support of two of the four opposition
members of the committee. These are
Messrs. Money and Simmons, and they
are now more than ever pleased with it
On the other hand, at least two of the
Republican members, Messrs. McMillen
and Spooner. oppose the bill The Indi
cations are that the Democratic strength
of the committee will now be thrown
to the support of the differential amend
ment Hence It seems probable that the
character of the report to be made to
the Senate. If any is made, will depnd
upon the other Republican members of
the committee, Messrs. Piatt Aldrlch,
Cullom. Deboe and Burnham.
Senator Teller says he will support any
action calculated to kill the bill In the
Senate, and he is Inclined to think that
the House adoption of an amendment for
the removal of the differential will have
the effect There are not a few Sena
tors who predict that the bill will be al
lowed to die in committee.
A SUGAR INVESTIGATION.
Demanded In a Resolution Intro
duced by Teller.
WASHINGTON. April J9. Teller of
Colorado today Introduced In the Senate
the following:
"Whereas, It has been currently report
ed that nearly the entire crop of Cuban
sugar has been purchased, and is now
held, by what is generally known as the
'sugar trust which is the principal con
sumer of raw sugar In the United States,
and that any concession given to the
raisers of cane sugar In the Island of
Cuba, or any measure Intended for their
relief, by admitting their sugar at re
duced rates of duty into the United
States, will only benefit the sugar trust
and that the Cubans will receive no real
benefit from such concession, and
"Whereas, It is alleged that a number
of citizens of the United States have
acquired large holdings of cane-producing
lands In Cuba, and are now especial
ly urging the reduction of duty on sugar,
under the claim that such reduction will
benefit the people of Cuba; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, That the copimittee on re
lations with Cuba be directed to make
an Investigation as to the truth of the
charges, and -to report to the Senate,
and to report,- in addition thereto, what
is the normal cost of making sugar in
the Island of Cuba; ' and, also, if any
concessions shall be made In the way of
a reduction of the duty on sugar coming
from Cuba into the United States, what
concessions should be made by the Gov
ernment of Cuba, about to be estab
lished, on articles produced In the United
States and exported Into the said Island
of Cuba, in order to make a reciprocal
and equitable arrangement as to exports
to Cuba and Imports therefrom to tho
United States."
The resolution was referred to the com
mittee on relations with Cuba, at the
suggestion of Piatt of Connecticut chair
man of that committee.
Cutting Is Snrprlscd.
NEW YORK, April 19. W. Bayard Cut
ting, president of the American Beet Su
gar Company, expressed great astonish
ment when told of the action taken by the
House of Representatives on the Cuban
reciprocity bill.
"I am taken completely by surprise,"
he said, "as no such radical step as this
abolition of the sugar differential has
been expected. It comes so suddenly that
I hardly know what to think of its pos
sible effect on the beet-sugar Industry."
TOO MUCH POLITICS IN IT.
Long Objects' to Building Warship
in Government Yards.
WASHINGTON, April 19. Secretary
Long was before the House committee on
naval affairs today and discussed the
building of new ships and other items of
naval expenditures. The Secretary fa
vored appropriations for three battle
ships, two armored cruisers and several
smaller ships this year, along the lines of
the recommendations in his annual report
He explained the features of the im
provement at the United States Naval
Academy, and the expenditures under the
emergency fund.
When asked as to the building of war
ships in Government yards, Mr. Long re
newed his disapproval of such action on
the ground that the cost would be about
23 per cent greater, and that It would have
a tendency to build up political organiza
tions at the navy-yards. As to submarine
boats, the Secretary thought it would be
well to defer action until boats now under
construction had been completed and
tested.
Final action on tho item of new ships
and the appropriation bill as a whole went
over.
REMEDIES BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Chairman Ray Explains the Par
poses of His Amendment.
WASHINGTON, April 19. Chairman
Ray, of the House committee on judiciary,
said today in regard to the amendment to
the bankruptcy law reported yesterday:
''The amendment proposes four addi
tional grounds for refusing a discharge to
a bankrupt:
"Flrst-His having obtained property on
credit on material false statements.
"Second Having made a fraudulent
transfer a any part of his property.
"Third Having been granted or denied
a discharge In bankruptcy within six
years.
"Fourth Having refused to obey any
lawful order of the court or to answer any
material question approved by the court
"After inquiries made in many quarters,
less than 10 per cent of the answers from
all sources oppose the law as it stands,
and this objection la based mainly upon
the defects iri the law, which the bill re
ported from the committee remedies."

HELENA, Mont, April 19. Thomas
Mooney, a miner In the Granite mine near

PREVENTED SMALLPOX.
Cleveland Successfully Substituted m
Disinfectant for Vaccination.
PORTLAND. April"l9. (To the Editor.)
I desire to commence a reply to the
various utterances which have appeared
in your columns in the past three months
regarding the continued spread of small
pox and the propriety of adopting com
pulsory vaccination. The figures present
ed and the comparisons made are so far
fetched and so at variance with fact that
I deem it my duty to at least reply to
some ot tbem. But to do so requires
time and probably more space than The
Oregonlan could afford at one time, so I
content myself at this time with furnish
ing to the public the resultB following
the rejection of vaccination in two Im
portant cities, one in England and one In
America.
When the smallpox epidemic ot 1871-72
visited England, Leicester was well and
thoroughly vaccinated, yet suffered as
severely as other cities not so well pro
tected. But since that time Leicester has
rejected vaccination to such an extent
that in 1EH, 'about the time of the last
severe epidemic, they had only seven vac
cinations to 10,000 of the inhabitants,
while Birmingham had more than 30 times
as many, yet the following Is the result:
Leicester had less than one-third the
number ot cases and less than one-fourth
the number of deaths than the well-vac-clnatcd
Birmingham.
We have yet another example of an
extremely well vaccinated town in this
epidemic to compare with unvacclnited
Leicester, namely, Warrington. It is
stated officially that 99.2 per cent of the
population had been vaccinated, yet we
have more than six times the number of
cases and more than eight times the
deaths "per 1000 population thin in Lei
cester. Our pro-vacclnatlon friends are
always ready to instance Goucester as a
town which suffered in this epidemic be
cause of their rejection of vaccination;
but they are wonderfuly silent In regard
to Leicester. Now the facts as to Glou
cester are simply these: The authorities
did not or could not carry out their plans
with regard to sanitation and the isola
tion of patients and they suffered, as a
matter of course.
The story of the rejection of vaccination
by the City of Cleveland and the results
following that rejection Is best told in
the words of Dr. Frledrichs, the chief
medical Inspector of that city, In a letter
to B. O. Flower, editor of the Arena, and
published Jn, the April number of that
Journal, which is substantially as fol
lows: It affords me great pleasure to state that
the house-to-house disinfection freed Cleveland
from smallpox. Since August 23, 1001, to this
very hour of writing-, not a single 'case has
Originated in this city, but seven cases were
Imported. The disease raged here uninterrupt
edly Since 1B96. We relied upon vaccination
and quarantine as the most effective weapons
to combat it, but In spite ot all our efforts it
doubled Itself er6ry year and was in a fair way
of repeating the record of last year, as in 1000
we had 903 cases, and from January 1 to July
21, 1001, the number amounted to 1223. On
this date I was called to take charge of the
health office, with 17 cases on hand. I had
been in the city's employ ever since 1809, and
it had fallen to my lot to investigate and diag
nose roost of the oases of smallpox that oc
curred in Cleveland. During that time I ob
served that aftr disinfection with formalde
hyde of a bouse in which we had found small
pox, never another case- could be traced to
this house. On the other hand, vaccination had
given us many untoward symptoms. Frequent
ly it did not "take" at all. One-fourth of air
cases developed sepsis Instead of vaccinia. Some
arms swelled clear down to the wrist Joint,
with pieces of flesh ae big as a silver dollar
and twice as thick dropping right out leaving
an ugly, suppurating wound, which to heal
took In many cases over three months. Finally,
four cases of tetanus developed after vaccina
tion, so that the people became alarmed, and
rightly so.
I laid these facts before Mayor Johnson and
proposed to stop vaccination entirely and in
stead of it disinfect thoroughly with formalde
hyde every section of the city where smallpox
had made its appearance; also to give the city
& general cleaning up. The Mayor not only
consented to my plan, but also gave me all aid
needed. I formed two squads of dlslnfectors,
preferring medical students for the work. Each
squad consisted of 20 men, with a regular
tanH&ry patrolman at their head, and eaoh

Have ydu got nerves? "Well, you ought

strong nerves good nerves. Does- your

Does your heart flutter at times? You

How to Get Strong Nerves.
First, repair the injury already done to
your nerves. The way to do this is to do
exactly as did Mattle B. Curtis, secre
tary of Legion of Loyal Women. Hotel
Salem, Boston, Mass. She said In a recent
letter: "I suffered for over a year with
general weakness and debility manifested
In severe headache and backache. I took
four bottles of Peruna and for two months
have been entirely free from these mala
dies." Nervous Prostration.
Thousands of cases might be quoted
In which Peruna has been used to rescue
people from the perdition of deranged
nerves and put them on the good, solid
foundation of health. The County Audi
tor of Erie County, New York, Hon. John
W. Neff. in a recent letter written at Bufl
falo, N. Y., stated: "I wae persuaded by
a friend to try a bottle of your great
nerve tonic, Peruna, and the results were
so gratifying that I am more than pleased
to recommend it."

three months to do the work, but the result
was most gratifying. After July 23, seven
more cases developed, the last one August 23.

Miss Helen "Whitman, 20S Grand avenue, Milwaukee, "Wis., writes:
"There 13 nothing like Peruna for that tired feeling, which gives you
no ambition for work or play. After a prolonged Illness, about a year
ago I felt unable to regain my health, but four bottles of Peruna made a
wonderful change and restored me to perfect health. As long as you
keep your blood In good condition you are all right, and Peruna seems to
fill the veins with pure, healthful blood. I thoroughly Indorse It."
MISS HELEN WHITMAN.
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic In the
Spring. Something to brace the nerves,
Invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this Is be
yond all question. Every one who has
tried It has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. "W. TImberlake, of Lynchburg.
Va., who In a recent letter made use of
the following words: "I always take a
dose of Peruna after business hours, as It
Is a great thing for the nerves. There is
no better Spring tonlo, and I have used
about all of them."
Catarrh In Spring.
The Spring is the best time to treat ca
tarrh. Nature renews hereelf every

health department. They had to Investigate
every suspicious case in town, and whenever
thoy found a case of smallpox they asked the
patient the following questions:
"Who visited you during the last two weekaT
"Whom have you visited during the last two
weeks?
Have yoa been at any public meeting during
that time, and who waa present, to your knowl
edge? "Where do you work7
Where do the children attend achool?
Where does your family attend divine wor
ship? This Information obtained, they started out to
all the Indicated addresses. They asXed the
foreman, preaoher and teacher for ail ab
Bnto3 during the last month from shop,
church or school, and then visited the house
of every one of them. They 'phoned their find
ings to the health office, and dlslnfectors with
formaldehydo generators were kept rady to
follow the step of the Investigators and disin
fect where there was the slightest suspicion of
an exposure to smallpox. Along with this the
regular sanitary police force waa given orders
to make a house-to-house canvass to tell the
publlo to clean up their yards, barns and out
houses and abate all nuisances that could be
found. As a result of it, Cleveland Is now
free from smallpox, and from the worst-Infected
city It has become the cleanest.

The House has passed, under suspension
of the rules, the Senate bill to extend for
20 years the charters of National banks.
This was a necessary measure, and so
simple that there was no need for dlous
slon of it. Enemies of the banks are com
plaining that it was passed by snap judg
ment, but there doesn't seem to be any
reasonable ground for complaint. "We
doubt If many Democrats, even, would
be willing to let the National banking
system perish through default of legisla

bill for reform of the National banking
system Is a more serious matter. That
is not likely to be passed by cither house
without thorough examination and deliber
ate discussion. Some surprise has been
expressed that it should have been re
ported so promptly by the committee on
banking -and currency; but It must be con
oldered that this committee has been
studying: tho subject for two or three
years, and may well have made up its
mind. This Is the bill nrevlouslv exnlainerl
in this place, which provides for gradual 1
retirement of legal tender notes, through
the Instrumentality of the banks, and for
the issue of notes upon the general assets

asset bank notes are not a popular idea
in the United States, and that government
legal tender notes are more popular than
they should be. Mr. Fowler may think
himself lucky if he gets this bill passed

It Is commonly inherited.
Few are entirely free from it.
Pale, weak, puny children are
afflicted with it in nine cases out of
ten, and many adults Buffer from it.
Common indications are bunches iu
