ASSERTS OBLIGATION IS BINDING ONE Cannot Be Without Harm to Peop nd—Home Market Would He Benefited. WASHINGTON, April 11.—Debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill continued in the house today, the principal speeches being made by Mr. Long of Kansas, a member of the ways and means committee, who from the first, ardently supported the proposi- tion for reciprocity and who originally fa- vored a reduction of 40 per cent, and by Mr. Shafroth of Colorado, who opposed the bill on the ground that the Sugar trust which he sald was waging a war of exter- mination against the beet sugar industry would be its chief beneficlary. The leaders of the house who have been much worried as to the outcome of the controversy were considerably relleved to- day when Mr. Watson, of Indiana, who is Acting as the republican whip on this oceca- sion, informed them that after a careful canvass he was postive that when the attempt was made to overrule the chair In order to make way for an amendment to abolish the differential on refined sugar the chair would be sustained. On both sides it is considered that the uncertainty regarding the fate of the bill hinges upon the question of overruling the chair. Despite Mr. Watson's canvass, there are those who still contend that they will win the bill. Rosecrans Funeral Committee. At the opening of the session the house today the speaker an- ‘mounced the appointment of the fol- lowing commlttee to attend the funeral at Arlington cemetery, Washington, of QGeneral W. 8. Rosecrans: Mr. Heoburn of lowa, Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr. Loud of California, Mr. Steele of Indiana, Mr. Sul- zer of New York, Mr. Elliott of Carolina, Mr. Clark of Missour!, Mr. Cum- of New York and Mr. Taylor of of The postofice appropriation bill was sent to conference. Messrs. Loud. Smith of Illinols and Swanson of Virginia were appointed conferges. The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr. Long, who has been very ac- tive In urging Cuban reciprocity, spoke in favor of the bill. He urged that the pending bill does not Involve a Tevision of thé. tariff, but contended that the fate of the rapublican doctrine of reciproeity, to which the party was com- mitted by the plattorms of 1896 and 1900 and the McKinley and Dingley tariff acts, depended upon the passage of this bill. Cost of Production, He analysed the evidence before the com- mittes on ways and means as to the cost of producing refined sugar from both Cuban cane and the sugar beet and argued that even at the reduced tariff provided by this bill refined sugar could be placed on the Chicago market for 28 cents a hundred less than refined Cuban sugar and that Ne- praska and Colorado beet sugar can be placed on the Kansas City market for 18 cents a hundred less than Cuban sugar and that Cuban sugar cannot compete at all with its beet rival on the Denver mar- . ket. He quoted from the statement made by the Oxnard Beet Sugar company at its annual meeting, held April 1, 1902, that it can manufacture refined sugar ‘‘below the cost of granulated sugar made from imported raw He read the evidence of all the beet sugar experts to the effect that the pro- posed reduction in the Cuban tariff would not lower the price of refined sugar and argued that therefore the beet sugar in- dustry would not be injured by the pro- posed legislation. He devoted much time to the proposition. The Cuban planters, and mot the sugar trust, would get the benefit of the concesalon in tariff. Effect of R elproeity. Turning to the benefits which would ac- crue to us from reciprocity with Cuba he reviewed the case of the Blaine reciprocity treaty, which existed from 1891 io 1894, showing that while our exports to all other countries fell off materfally during this period, owing to the depreciation in silver and other causes, that our trade with Cuba © more than doubled and that our exports to countries with which we had reciprocity were the only ones that showed an increase. Reciprocity, he de South | clared, would give the’ United States a monopoly of the C¥ban matkets. A moral obligation, he said, rested on the United States to ald Cuba, from the fact that the ‘l'lun amendment was accepted only upon the virtual promise of tariff concessions. In closing, Mr. Long said That it is our duty to complete the work undertaken in Cuba fs fecognized by every patriotic American. We can discharge that obligation and still do no harm to any American Industry Special Interests have endeavored to prevent action and tried to alarm congress the cry that their particular industri will be rulned if reciprocity with uba Is adopted. The facts do not warrant this assumption and if this congress does its duty congress that wed he re Il provide for reclprocity pa intervention, 1t w session _ends which will | ment to the people of that island, further promote the prosperlty of the geople ot the United States and honorably finish the work undertaken when the war with Spain | began. with bring happiness and content: Cuba, Volley of Inquiries. Mr. Long met a volley of questions from the opponents of reciprocity on the repub- lican side. At various times during his speech he sustained the fire of Mr. Prince of Illinois, Mr. Hepburn of Towa, Mr. ham of California, Mr. Kahn of California and W. A. Smith of Michigan, He ridiculed the republican adversaries | of reciprocity who, he sald, refused to yleld any concession to Cuba because they al- lege it threatened the protective system. but who deliberately proposed to adopt a revolutionary course to take the differen- tial off of refined sugar, which he sald had | been placed in the Dingley bill for the express purpose of protecting the beet | sugar industry Mr. Long pointed out that the adver- sarles of the bill had shifted their ground since the publication of General Woods' statement that the Sugar trust controlled only 3,600 tons of Cuban sugar. He sald that previous to that those who controlled the bill charged that the trust had bought up all the Cuban sugar. Yet now they used that statement to prove that the trust was not making large purchases of sugar, but was holding off, awaiting the action of con- Bress. Shafroth Against Bill, Mr. Shafroth of Colorado opposed the | bill. He charged that the sentiment in favor of concessions to Cuban sugar had been manufactured by the Sugar trust and was part of the war the trust was waging against the beet sugar Industry in Colorado and other western states. He read extracts from the report of the president of the Sugar trust before the Lexow commission and the industrial com- mission to show the methods of the com- pany in crushing out its competitors. Mr. Shafroth sald the bill, made a gift of $8,000,- 000 to somebody and he undertook to dem- onstrate that the major portion of the money would find its way into the coffers of the trust, TALMAGE AT DEATH'S DOOR Physicians in Attendance Give Hope for Noted Divine's Recovery.

WASHINGTON, April 11,.—The postal re- ceipts for last month, as compared with March of last yeéar, for the fifty largest postoffices in the country, show a net in- crease of 10 per cent. The total recelpts of the fifty offices were $5,267,666. The largest increase was 37 per cent, at Den- ver. Dayton, O., was second, with 30 per cent. Five offices reported decreases in receipts, viz.: Indianapolls, 28 per cent; Louisville, 18; St. Joseph, Mo., 13; Albany, N. Y., 10, and Lowell, Mass., 4. The fig- ures for the two largest offices showed an Increase of 11 per cent for New York and an increase of 5 per cent for Chicago. WASHINGTON, April 11.—Senator Mason was among the president's callers today and during the conference the pr authorized the statement that he w ing no part whatever in the Illinols torial contest. His relations with Senator Mason, Representative Hopkins and Mr, Dawes were allke most friendly and he had done, and would do, nothing that could ibly be construed into an evidence of rtiality for either of the candidates “My time is altogether too much occupled with belng president,” sald Mr. Roosevelt, “to admit of my faking any part in the senatorial contest in Illinofs.” pot ~ HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA In thousands and thousands of homes, in cities, towns and villages, three doses a day of this great medicine are now being taken by every member of } the family.

WASHINGTON, April 11.—The report of | the testimony given before the senate com- on military affairs by General 8 formerly the commanding gen- eral of the army, on the bill to create a | general staffl was made public today. He | endoreed the bill, saying that he had long | since come to the conclusion that there 18 no room under our comstitution for two | commanders and that the president, whom the constitution makes the supreme com- mander, must act through the secretary of war. He added The very exalted individual office, so- called, of commanding general of the army must disappear. There {s no room for It in this government, no matter who occuples it; It 18 not a quéstion of personality at all, or the character of the Individual, so far as this great question Ia concerned. He must be What other nations of the earth have, a chief .of staff, not a commanding general Referring to the German system, Gen- eral Schofleld satd Weo would have to modify their system 80 as to make It applicable. 1f we had at the head of the army for vears the same distinguished general, other things being satisfactory, that would be very well, but what l& the use of a great general as the nominal head of the army If the president will not even talk to him except to criti- cize him, or if the secretary of war and he do not even speak to each other? What good Is Senators Burrows: ““Why would i ot the same condition of affairs exist between the chief of staff, and the president?” Says Bill is Indispenable. General Schofield: . ‘“‘Because he would relleve him and get another. The personal relations between the president, the secre- tary of war and the commanding general are, of all, more important than any law, and that is one of the reasons why this bill is absolutely indispensable, or some- thing 1ke It. You must give to the presi- dent discretion fo select that man.'" 8:nator Burrows: ““Why cannot the lieu- tenant general of the army and the presi- dent confer as it 1s?" General Schofield “They are not on speaking terms."” Senator Burrows: “Not on speaking terms?” General Schofield: “No, sir. You will bave to get rid of that intolerable condition by which this man, close to the president, the only man who is available to do these things, is a man whom the president does talk to except to criticise him. The re- sult is bad; very bad. The president feels the need of such a man, as did the presi- dents whom I have known. They woula say: “I cannot do these things; I must have a military man to help me’ then in that situation he perhaps sends for Colonel or Major 8o and so, and he finds there I8 a bright young fellow and he knows about these things and a few days It gets to be known that ‘Tom &0 and 0’ {s commanding the army.” Not Afrald of Germanizing. In reply to a question by Senator Scott, calling attention to General Miles' statement that the effect of the proposed legislation would be to Germanize and Rus- slanize the American army, General Scho- fleld sald: “I am not afrald of that. 1 think we might Germanize other things a little with advantage, possibly.” Remarking upon the provision ot the bil for a four years term as chief of staff, General Schofield opposed it as coming from ‘“that fountain of error, the congress of the United States, which provides for the re- tirement of the very best men just when they come to be of the age whea Von Moltke won his greatest triumphs 1 au not supperanuated vet,” he continued, “and still I have been retired for a long time." General Schofleld expressed the oplnion that during the war of the rebellion the southern system of selecting high officers was far better than that of the north. Speaking of the rank of lleutenant general, he said he would give the proposed chief of staff even higher rank, adding: “I would make one general at the head of the army and I would have three lieu- tenant generals and then the proper num- ber of officers In the grades umder that The confederates during the clvil war were a great deal wiser than we in that respect. They were better soldiers and better edu- cated and knew more about it. They ried off the greater proportion of the best blood that we had, to tell the truth, and they organized their army sclentifically.” " fon of Chief of Staff, He expressed the opinion that under the secretary of war the chief of staff should have charge of the departments of supply and transportation and the signal corps, which the commanding general does not now control. He also urged that under existing law the commanding general has no real authority, that except that he is president of the Board of Orduance and Fortification there had never been a law defining what his position s. He ‘held that the United States and Great Britain are the only present countries which have not & general staff. Of the British he said: ‘““They have mot any system. What we have is what they bad 100 years ago and we have not im- proved and they bave not either. They bave had the same conflict between the Horse guards and the War office in Great Britaln as we have had here, and that will continue until by some chance & king hap- pens to be a soldier and then he will stralghten it all out.” UNCLE SAM KNOWS HIM NOT Former Mail Carrier Endeavors to Scrape Up Acquaintance in Court. In the United States circuit court the case of A. J. VanAlstine against the United States is being tried. VanAlstine was the sub-contractor for the delivery of mall between the Omaha postoMce and the depots in 1898. According to his petition at the time the Transmississipp! exposition was opened in that year he was ordered by the postmaster to deliver mail In sacks to a posioffice established by the government on the exposition grounds. This work re- quired the employment of a large number of men not otherwise necessary. He de- manded of the postmaster pay for the addi- tional work, which was refused, and he now brings suit for $850 for services, In addition to this claim he has another for $135 which he alleges grew out of the fact that he was required by the postmas- ter to carry mall between the postoce and the Burlington station, which was not specified in the original contract. The case is defended by the United States on the ground that VanAlstine is not known fo the government, the contract belng with the man from whom he secured the sub- contract. —— Try Stors Brewing company's either draught or bottled.

For Years He Endeavored to Get Rid of It, but in Valn—How He Fi- nally Met with Smecess. The inberitance of Thomas E.

It came to | bim more than a decade ago and to get rid | How | at last he succeeded makes an interesting | story. “Until a few years ago," he says, "I was | 4 man to be pitled. For more than ten years 1 was a paralytic hardly able to use | my hands, and with my eyes so affected by the disease that I could not recognize my friends across the room. My hands and forearms were so numb that there was scarcely any feeling in them at all.” “You had a doetor?” ventured his Inter- viewer, “Yes, for a while in 1882, until he affected my hearing with his medicine. I tried various things, but 1 didn't get any better and I became pretty well dis- couraged. The disease is hereditary in the family. One of my sisters died of paralysis and the face of another was all drawn out of shape by it. So, you see, I realize that it would be a pretty hard, and almost im- possible thing to get rid of It in my case.” “But you did succeed.” “I did, and the credit is all due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. for Pale People. 1 began taking them about ten years ago and felt 1 wae getting better after taking the first box.- I continued with them until 1 was cured.” Mr. Lawes is a substantial citizen of Dunkirk, proprietor of the best hotel in that section and is highly respected among his large circle of acquaintances. In order that there might be no room for doubt as to the accuracy of his above state- ment he made affirmation to it before J. J. Stewart, a notary public, February 15, 1902. The fact that Dr. Willlame' Pink Pills for Pale People cured this stubborn case, as they have cured others equally severe, leaves no room for doubt but that they will cure lesser troubles arising from dis- ordered nerves. It is a well established fact that they ‘are an unfailing specific not only for partial paralysis, but for loco- motor ataxia, St. Vitus dance, neuralgia, nervous headache and also for all diseases arising from impure or {mpoverished blood, such as rheumatism, anaemia, after- effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness eithier in male or fomale.

NEW YORK, April 11.—The following EXPECT T0 ACQUIT WALLER | Friends of Acoused Officer Look for Verdict of Not Guilty. MAJOR PROTESTS HIS OWN INNOCENCE Admits in His Statement on Witness Stand Killing Certain Filipinos and Says He DI Right. MANILA, April 11.—Major Littleton W. T. Waller of the marine corps, who is being | tried by court-martial on the charge of exe- cuting Samar natives Without trial, addressed the court today. The major sald he was either right or wrong in his actions and added that he desired to cite five precedents which came under the head of his own case. He alluded to the naval battle at Santiago and the humanity he had shown to Spaniards who were captured, and sald he had many letters from Spaniards thank- ing him for the kindness he had shown them. Continuing, the major sald that in 1882 he was with the British forces in Egypt, where Arabs captured pickets of Belgal cavalry, decapitated the prisoners and placed their heads on poles. Afterwards all the Arabs were caught and shot without trial. During tne campaign in China the Chinese mutilated the dead and tortured the wounded to death. Consequently, when a Boxter or a fanatic was captured he was executed Immediately without reference. Says It Is Common Practice. This wae true in the case of the troops of every nation in China. It was true dur- Ing the three weeks he commanded the Americans there. But the same thing oc- curred later, when he was no longer In command. No protest was made and he had every right to belleve that his acts were approved, so far as the American forces were concerned. He knew they were approved by those of other natlons. “It s 1mpossible to conceive such treach- ery as that of the natives of Samar,'” sald SECRETARY GLEASON Of The Woman’s Cai;ilolic Order of Forresters, Chicago, St. Francis Xavier Court No. 174, Endorses Lydia E.

Captatn Marix also sald he regretted that the pros- ecution has seen fit to call General Smith. He claimed that all the testimony went to show that the major was justified. At the conclusion of the arguments for the defense the general feeling was that the result of the trial would be the ac- quittal of the major. The judge advocate, Major Henry P.

SHIELDS MUST STAND TRIAL One of Alleged Assallants of Vietor ! Walker Held to District’ Court. At the conclusion of the argument last evening County Judge Vinsonhaler held Martin Shields, one of the policemen ac- cused by Victor Walker of assaulting him with {ntent to do him great bodily injury, to the district court in the sum of $500, but allowed him’to go on his own recogni- zance. John Brady he released. as he did not conslder there was probable cause to believe him gullty. Prince Wheeler, Cyrus Terrill and Charles Marr, three of the witnesses, were held to the district court, bond being fixed at $200 each. On the witness stand both Shields and Brady denled emphatically and flatly all the important aliegations of Walker in his suit against them for assault with inteut to do great bodily injury. They swear that Walker's statement that Shields sald ho “had orders to bump him off" was without any foundation in fact, and that their only orders were to arrest Walker for carrying concealed weapons. The proceedings were interrupted some hours by an effort on the part of the attor- ney for Walker to prevent the introduction of evidence intended to show that his client was & dangerous and vicious man, in deal- ing with whom it was well to employ sum- mary methods. The judge finally permitted the evidence to go in. The court room was crowded. When Walker was on the stand an gttor- ney asked: “What {s this Midway saloon that has been referred to? What sort of & place is 1t?” “It Is a place where respectable ladl and gentlemen go to spend their money, answered Walker, seriously.

Olay Evans as Oomnmissioner of Pensions, IS MEMBER OF NO FACTION IN PARTY New Commissioner ix an Active Republican, Although He is in No Senwe a Politician or Office Seeker, WASHINGTON, Ware of Kans, April 11.—Eugene F. has been selected by the president to succeed H. Clay Evans as commissioner of pensions. Mr. Ware le trom Topeka, Kan., and is a member of the law firm of Wire & Gleed. It was stated at the White House that the president desired to appoint some man whom he knew well and that, if possible, he should come from Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan., April 11.—Eugene F. Ware was much surprised today when he learned of his appointment to the position of pension commissioner. “I have not, at any time, made applica- tion for the place,” said he, “and have not exerted myself to the extent of sending in a single letter of recommendation. The president mentioned it to me during my last visit to Washington, while I was there helping Attorney General Goddard in the Colorado-Kaneas irrigation case. I have not recelved any oficial notice of my ap- polntment, and until I receive it, I will not say whether or not I will accept the place.” Mr. Ware has met Mr. Roosevelt only three timee, but the president knew him through his writing: Mr. Ware was born at Hartford, Conn., in 1841, He enlisted In the civil war in Company E, First lowa volunteer Infan- try, serving afterward in Company L, Fourth lowa volunteer infantry and Com- pany F, Seventh Iowa cavalry, finally be- coming captaln of the last named organiza- tion. He also saw service in the Indian wars and in these campalgns was badly wounded, Moved to Kan After leaving the army he moved to Fort Scott, Kan., and in 1571 was admitted to the bar, was a member of the state sen ate and twice a delegate to the republican uational convention. Later he moved to Topeka. Judge Peters and ex-Congressman Blue were the men urged by Kansas. politicians for the place and the name of Ware had not been mentioned. As he enjoys the per- sonal friendship of the president, it may probably be considered a personal appoint- ment.
