THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 25, 1903.
NEW PROTEST IS IN
Britain Objects to the Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty.
HER SUGAR TRADE INJURED
Minister Herbert Enters Claim to
Consideration, but Roosevelt "Will
2Vot Yield More Time for
Senate to Act, .
X.ONDON, Jan. 24. The reciprocity trea
ty between Cuba and the United States
threatens to raise one of the most serious
differences of opinion between Great
Britain 'and the United States that has
occurred for years. So much Importance
Is attached to the matter that a meeting
of the Cabinet Is being: specially sum
moned to see what action can be taken.
There Is, of course, no alarmist feeling
as to any possible straining of diplomatic
relations, but Great Britain's.entlrepom
merclal policy is believed to be vitally
concerned. ,
The matter came to a head through the
deputation from the Chamber of Com
merce of the United Kincdom, which
waited upon Foreign Secretary X,ans
downo yesterday. It included several
members of Parliament and represented
the most powerful business Interests from
all the British industrial centers.
Replying to the delegates' argument
that all the advantages which the gov
ernment had gained by securing the aboli
tion of the sugar bounties would be sac
rificed if the Cuban reciprocity treaty be
came operative. Lord Lansdowne said he
thoroughly realized the gravity of the sit
uation and proceeded to read dispatches
showing that Ambassador Herbert had
forcefully represented the British objec
tions to the treaty, pointing out that It
was to all intents and purposes a dis
crimination against all the British pos
sessions in the West Indies. Secretary
Hay's reply maintained that the United
States was doing no more than it had the
right to do and intimated that it had no
intention of modifying the Cuban treaty.
Lord Lansdowne added that all the In
formation available pointed to the fact
that the treaty would pass, but he an
nounced that the Cabinet would consider
if anything further could be done.
The delegates said they understood that
the treaty contains a secret clause stipu
lating that no further measures of reci
procity shall be undertaken by the United
States towards the British "West Indies.
If such was the case. It was suggested
to Lord Lansdowne that Great Britain
would be only within her rights in re
taliating with an Increased duty on grain.
The Foreign Secretary gave no Intima
tion on this point, which apparently was
only suggested in the hope that some of
the members of the Cabinet who are re
ported to be strongly in favor of a more
protectionist policy might use it as a
handle to forward their views.
MORE TIME FOR ACTION.
Senate May Seed It for Ratification
No Secret Article.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The State De
partment is considering the advisability
of extending the period of time al
lowed for the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, now pending before the
United States Senate. The time allowed
for ratifications expires one week from
today. While the Senators seem confi
dent of their ability to ratify within that
time, tho President and Secretary feel
that they are not warranted in risking
the loss of this Important convention and
therefore they contemplate the drafting
of a special article In the shape of a pro-,
tocol which will provide for a safe ex
tension of the period allowed for ratifi
cation. Tho attention of officials who have had
to do with this treaty was directed today
to the statement made in .London to
Lord Lansdowne by the delegates of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
Kingdom to the effect that the Cuban
treaty contained a secret clause stipulat
ing that no further measures of reciproc
ity shall Jje undertaken by the United
States toward the British West Indies.
It was explained that there was no secret
clause in the treaty. What the delegates
undoubtedly had reference to was the
amendment to the treaty made by the
Senate committee prohibiting for a term
of five years any diminution of the sugar
duties in the tariff laws, the effect of
which would be to prevent the confirma
tion of any reciprocity treaty wltn the
British West Indian colonies, or, Indeed,
with any country, permitting a reduction
of sugar duties. This amendment is en
tirely obnoxious to the Administration,
but whether its inclusion would cause the
loss of the treaty can not be foretold
at this moment.
WANTS NO SOCIALISM.
Coal Miners' Convention "Votes If
Sown Huge Defense Fund.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 24. Another
tlash between the Socialistic and conserva
tive factions opened the United Minework
ers Convention today. A resolution from
jGwynne, Kan., favored public ownership
of railroads and the coal mines. The com
mittee on resolutions, formed of conserva
tive members, brought in a counter reso
lution setting forth the inability of rail
roads to move the coal from the mines
ana recommended that the convention be
not committed on the "get coal" move
ments, Government ownership and other
euch grave Questions.
The whole matter -was tabled for good
on motion of W. H. Hasklns, of Ohio.
A resolution was passed favoring the es
tablishment of co-operative stores by min
ers absolutely free of any connection with"
the organization.
L. P. Talmage, of Iowa, presented a res
olution favoring committing the conven
tion to socialism. It was promptly de
feated by an overwhelming vote.
A resolution favoring raising a heavy re
serve fund for strikes was referred to a
special committee.
Tho convention today voted to Increase
salaries as follows: John Mitchell, presi
dent, to $3000; W. B. Wilson, secretary
treasurer, to $2500; Vice-President Lewis,
to $2500; and members of the executive
committee and auditing committees to
H per day each.
The convention adopted a resolution, in
favor of limiting the power of the "Federal
Courts in issuing Injunctions against la
bor organizations.
The defense fund committee was in ses
sion tonight. Many recommendations
Jiave been made concerning the best plans
by which to create the fund. There Is
now in the treasury a balance of $1,027,120.
It was rumored that there was a propos
ition that $2,000,000 be raised, in addition
to the amount already in the treasury.
CONSPIRACY TO SLUG.
Striking Brassmolders Convicted
and Fined Heavily.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24. Four of the six
brassmolders on trial for conspiracy to
injure nonunion men during the labor
troubles of 1902 were found guilty today.
They are Jacob C Johnson, W. H. Mau
gan, both of whom -were sentenced to
. pay a fine of $1250; Gus Hoppe and Thomas
Tjj Christie, fined $750 each. William Maloney
and Gus Johnson were acquitted.
The six men were members of a local
'brassmolders union, and constituted a
secret executive committee, alleged to
have been appointed for tho purpose of
employing a band of men to slug and
otherwise Injure certain nonunion men
who were pointed out by pickets. As a
result, two men were shot and several
badly beaten.

Legislature declared today that overtures
on the part of the antl-Wolcott Republi

been rejected.
"We have a bare majority, and we pro

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. J. Edward A6
dlcks, one of the candidates for United
States Senator In the pending contest in
the Legislature of Delaware, called upon
the President today. Mr. Addicks said on

Legislature would elect two Republican
Senators, and that he would be one of
them.

FLOOD SLARTS FROM RAIN
(Continued from First Pas.)
Santlam River, which is raised by tho
snow in the mountains. It was reported
this evening that Sanderson's wagon
bridge, which spans the Santlam, connect
ing Linn and Marlon Counties, Is on tho
verge of being washed away. This Is the
longest bridge supported by the county,
a'hd has caused a great deal of trouble. If
washed away, it will entail considerable
loss.
Perhaps a more serious report Is that
concerning the imminent danger to tho
Corvallls & Eastern Railroad bridge,
across the Breitenbush, at the extreme
eastern end of the road. The Breitenbush
has been made a rushing torrent by the
recent rains, and the bridge is loosened
from the bank. All day a crew has been
at work with cables endeavoring to save !
the bridge. Because of the unsafety of
the structure, the eastbound train was
stopped at the Breitenbush and was forced
to back down to Albany this evening.
Tho entire southern portion of Albany
around the Southern Pacific Depot is In
undated, and sidewalks are afloat. This
is caused by the overflow of Santlam Can
al, due to the great rainfall and abund
ance of surface water. Tho Willamette
River registers about 22 feet above low
water mark, and is rapidly rising. All the
lowlands on the Benton County side are
inundated. There was a slight amount of
rainfall this afternoon, but It Is cleared
up now.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Representa

the ways and means committee, today
introduced a joint resolution to appoint a
Joint committee of the two houses, six
Senators and 11 Representatives-elect to
the Fifty-Eighth Congress, to Inquire
during the coming recess into the present
conditions of domestic and foreign pro

articles, whether any reduction thereof
can be made consistent with reasonable
protection to American industry and la

MAY COME TO XOTHIXG.
Probable That Treaty Will Be Fruit
less and Modus Continue.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 24. There will probably he
little or no objection In the Senate to the
Alaskan boundary treaty, which was
signed today, because a close examina
tion of it would Indicate that nothing very
much can come of it. The fact that there
is an equal division of arbitrators and no
power to determine a dispute probably
means that the boundary will remain just
as It has been, and that the modus Vi
vendi, which was negotiated by Hay and
Pauncefote some time ago, will still re
main the temporary line.
The Senate may debate this treaty with
some spirit, as It was negotiated by Sec
retary Hay, in the hope that it will lead
to something definite, and that the con
stant irritation growing out of the dis
puted title can be settled. This treaty,
unlike the modus, must come before the
Senate for ratification, and it is quite
likely that the Senators who are interest
ed In the Alaskan boundary will agree to
nothing that would be considered as giv
ing away United States territory to Can
ada. TO SIFT OUT THE CLAIMANTS.
Afro-American Council Offers to Ad
vise the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. President
Roosevelt today received a call from
William Pledger, a well-known negro
politician of Georgia, and Bishop Walters,
a prominent churchman, also colored, who
desired to discuss with him the general
subject of appointment of negroes to
Federal offices. The former is acting
president of the Afro-American Council,
the leading negro political organization of
the country, and Bishop Walters is chair
man of the executive committee of the
council.
They told the President that they feared
he was being embarrassed by many pend
ing claims of negroes for political pre
ferment and indicated their Intention to
call a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Afro-American Council to bo
held in this city for the purpose of de
vising some means of regulating tho
claims of colored men so as to relievo the
President from the consideration of the
cases of those who are not entitled fairly
to such consideration.
The executive committee consists of
three members from each state.
It Is proposed to suggest to the execu
tive committee the creation of a central
committee of prominent colored men, the
duty of tho committee to pass finally upon
the claims of negro applicants for Fed
eral offices before they are presented to
the President. It Is pointed out that this
would relieve the President from much

Not American Tysons.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Hopes of Ameri
can Tysons for a share In an estate of
$40,000,000, left by James Tyson, an Aus
tralian miner, have been dissipated as the
result of a" thorough investigation. J.
Wesley Allison, of Phiadelphia, who mar
ried a Mies Tyson, retained capable law
yers to Investigate the matter and ob
tained documentary evidence showing that
none of the Tysons in this country or
England need expect any of the James
Tyson property In Australia, as It was
given to his heirs there shortly after his
death. In 1S93.
Scores of persons In Long Island, New
Jersey, Ohio and other parts of the coun
try havo at various times endeavored to
establish their rights to the fortune. Mem
bers of a John Tyson's family In New Jer
sey claimed the estate In 1S39; then Dr. L.

ber 11, 1S9S, and also the Chicago Times
Herald of same date. This centenarian
Is an ardent friend of Peruna, having
used it many years.
In rpeaking of his .good health and ex
treme old age, Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world as
long, as I have, he ought to have found
out a great many things by experience.
I think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that arc
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For 114 years I fiave with
stood the changeable climate of
the United States.
MI have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden changes
in tho climate and temperature. During
my long life I have known a great many
remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhoea.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Peruna, I have found It to be the
best, If not the only, reliable reme
dy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my requirements.
It protects me from the evil effects of
sudden changes: It keeps me in good ap
petite; it gives mc strength; it keeps my
blood in geed circulation. I have corse
to rely upon it almost entirely for the
many little things for which I need medi
cine. "When epidemics of la grippe first be
gan to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease. "I had several long sieges with
the grippe. At first I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for this
disease; When I heard tbat la
grippe was epidemic catarrh, I
tried Peruna for la grippe and found
it to be just the thing."
Yours truly,
