THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 16 any iotention to refleet on the National guard, Trained Soldiers Necensnry. Mf. Hoar sald that while the naval mill tin was yel in An experimental stage, it was manitest that u every warlike emer- gency the country must be protected by a trained militia or by a regular army, or by both. It has been proved that the United Btatex ought to have a good regular army of moderate strength, supplemented by a strong militia force. Mr. Hoar, referring to the training of #atlors in civil lite, sald there was another fact not generally known. Our Independ- ence In the of the revolution had been won at sea. England could have continued for a hundred years it necessary the land war of the revolution, because it was able o pay the cost. It was not the French ance, but the rate of maritime Insurance, which compelled the unwilling monarch to come to peace. It was New England sail- ors of the maritime states which won the battle. The rate of insurance on English commercial ships was then 28 per cent in the Mediterrancan. It was the ship owners of Bristol who won the battle by privateers and not the navy. Glory Enough for Al After Mr. Bacon had protested that it ‘was the valor of our soldlers and eallors that enabled the colonies to gain their in- dopendence and not the rates of insurance on English ships, Mr. Tlllman insisted that Mr. Hoar should give some of the credit of achieving importance to other colonies than Now England. Amid laughter and applauge he declared: “There's glory enough to go around, our great admiral in command at the battls of Santiago sald’’ At the conclusion of the discussion Mr. Hoar introduced the following resolution: That the president, If {n his Judgment be not_compatible with the publlc in: , be feqiicated to Inform the senate Whather the Department of State had any information whether the British government extractg dutles on goods in- tended for prisoners of war in Bermuda in 3 f the convention at The Hagie, which Is as fol- “Gifts and rellef In kind for prison shuil be admitted rec of all ditles of entiy and others, as well as o payments for carriage by the government rafllways." Charity ods Taxed, In explanation of his resolution Mr. Hoar wald that some charitable organizations in this country had sent supplies and com- forts to Boer prisoners detained in Ber- muda. Upon these supplies dutles had been ‘collected in contravention to The Hugue treaty. He desired to ascertain whether the Btate department had been Informed of the Wituation. The resolution was adopted and at 1:15 p. m. the senate went into executive ses- slon. After un executive sesslon of twenty minutes bills were passed making the fol- lowing appropriations for public bulldings: At Nasbua, N. H. $100,000; Huntingtoo, W. Va., $120,000; Superior, Wis., $300,000; #or enlarging the public bulldings at Dal- las, Tex, and at Portlaud, Ore., $150,000 and $260,000 respectively. The bill providing for & naval reserve, which Senator Hale lntroduced, authorizes the creation of a naval reserve of not to oxoeed 20,000 men and 800 officers, the men to recelve $50 and the offcers from $100 to $200 annually Another bill introduced by Senator Hale the organization of a paval re- rom honorably discharged sailors, but does not fix the number.

CUBANS SEEK RECIPROCITY Say Distress is Cortain if Their Appeal Are D ARGUMENTS BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE Representative Americans Co-Opernte with Southern Nelghbors in Pre- senting for Reolp- rocal Relations, WASHINGTON, Jan. 15~The ways and means committee began hearing today on the subject of Cuban reciprocity with a large representation present from various Interests which would be effected by le lation of this character. The Cuban indus tries wero represented by Messrs, Place, Mendoz, Dumols and Francke, chosen by commercial organizations in varlous parts of the {sland. The American interests engaged in sugar production in Cuba were represented by Edwin F. Atkins, spokesman for an organ- ization controlling a large part of the sugar production of the {sland; Hugh Kelly of New York and John F. Cralg of Philadel. phia. William Haywood was present in be- half of the Hawallan sugar planters and Henry T. Oxnard for the domestlc beet sugar interests. The tobacco and other in. terosts afected by Cuban production also were well represented. Chalrman Payne stated at the outset that the hearing was In reference to that por- tlon of the president's message relating to reciprocity with Cuba. The committee would first hear those favorable to Oub and Mr. Payne stated that the committee desired to be informed as to the effect of réciprocity both on Cuba and on the people of the United States. Says There ia Overproauction of Su, Edwin F. Atkins of Boston made the opening statement in bebalt of reeiprocity. He spoke of the enormous ovorproduction of sugar throughout the world, amounting to about 1,600,000 tons, which had resulted In a crisis in the industry. European countries had met this by bountles, so that the Ge:man producer, by means of a bounty, was able to sell sugar at % a cent per pound below (ts cost of production. Tho cost of production In Cuba was 2.6 cents por pound, which was somewhat above the selling price. Mr. Atking stated that there was about $20,000,000 worth of standing cane in Cuba, and at present prices a considerable part of this would mot be harvested. While Dot an alarmist, he sald the effect would bo eerlous loss to the planters and the labor employed. The loss to labor, he thought, was likely to lead to disturbances Mr. Atkins stated that a 60 per cent re- duction of duties was desired on the va- rious large products = of the {sland. but In response to inquirles from Mr. Payne, he sald that on the sugar they should have 100 per cent reduction. Mr. Atkins sald the opposition to Cuban reciprocity came from several sources, namely the domestic beet sugar industry, the Hawallan planters and the sugar in- terests of Porto Rico and Loulslana, ag- gregating 89,000 tons production. To Mr. Payne he stated that a very large per- centage of the Cuban sugar. industry was owned by citizens of the United States. Aside from the advantage of reciprocity to Cuba, Mr. Atkins maintained that it would be to the advantage of the United States, resulting in the reduction in the price of sugar to the people. When ask by Mr. Payne it his sugar business wi profitable last year, Mr. Atkins sald he conceded (hat it had been, but geaeral in- quiry among yinnters showed that they bad not done a profitable business. At 12 o'clock a recess was taken untfl 2 p. m. At the afternoon session Mr. AtKins con- tinued his statement, {n the course of which he expressed strong opposition to any system of drawback. He said that the Havemeyer Interests were small and exercised no controlling influence. Mr. At- kins sald that If present conditions con. tinued Cuba probably wonld become desperate as to be forced into annexation. Wil Increase Patronage. Mr. Louls Place, a merchant of Havan and head of the Cuban delegation, pre: sented the case from the Cuban standpolint. At present, he sald, Cuba was buying large quantities of forelgn goods and if reci- procity was brought about with the United States Cuba would buy American ocotton goods, wine and many other articles. He belleved this market in Cuba would amount to $250,000,000 within two years, Francis B. Thurber of the United States Export oclation sald that the primary consideration was one of good faith on the part of the United Btates toward Cuba, Hugh Kelley of New York, who has large sugar holdings in Cuba, d that as an American he urged that reciprocal conces- slons be made. He belleved that if there was no reciprocity Cuba would ask for annexation. If this ocourred the voloe of the American people would be for admitting the island. Mr. Mendoza of the Cuban delegation pletured the distress {f present conditions were continued, and sald the loss on the sugar crop of the island this year will approximate $12,000,000, He strongly favors the free admission of sugar and rectprocal concessions on American goods entering Cuba, The hearings will continue tomorrow, DENOUNCE IT A BASE LIBEL Daughters of Confederacy in Warfare Agatnst “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” LOUISVILLYE, Ky, Jan. 16.—At a meet- lug of the special committee appointed by Albert Sidney Johnston chapter of the Daughters of Confederacy today it was decided to begin an active campaign agalnst the production of “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” Resolutions wore adopted pledging the members of the chapter to work in every way possible to prevent the play from be- log put on any stage in the state and the book was denounced as a base llbel on the south and especlally on the institution of #lavery.
