PAYNE FACTION IS HOPEFUL Advocates of Twenty Per Cent Reduc- tion Belleve Thelr Cuban p Bill Wil Pas WASHINGTON, April 15.—With the close of thé Cuban reciprocity debate in the Y house today. the leaders announced that all danger of the bill being welghted down with undesirable amendments was over and that they felt ured the bill would pass in the shape in which it came from the committee. As the bill in its present form is sure to (B command three-fourths of the vote of each side of the house, its passage was certain , i 1t successfully passed the stage when amendments could be offered. ‘The only cause of anxiety heretofore has been the ‘possibility that enough republic- R ans would joln with the democrats to ove: rule the chair and tack ento the bill an “wmendment to abolish the differential on refined sugar. All the energies of the lead- ers have been directed, therefore, to bring- ing pressure to bear on the recaleitrant re- publicans to induce them to refrain from alding this plan, and this evening at the close of the session of the house 1t was an- mounced that the entire republican delega- { tions from Michigan and California, who 156 constitute the head and front of the oppo- 8 | sition, had agreed not to vote to override i the ruling of the chair. Mr. Watson of Indlana, who is aleo act- as the whip for the majority, does not believe over a dozen republicans at the out- side will join the democrats on this propo- sitfon. Tt would require more than twenty republican votes to place on the bill the amendment which might enda its ulti- mate paseage, as several democrats, It Is ‘understood, aleo have declared their inten- tion to stand by the ruling of the chalr, An unsucceestul effort was made again to- day by Mr. Payne to secure an agreement ‘ to lMmit the general debate. When the house adjourned today there remalned thirty-five members who desire to speak. k The debate today was without particular } lnterest. The speakérs were Messrs. Swan- won of Virginia and White of Kentucky, for the bill, and Messrs. 8. W.

WASHINGTON, April 15.—A letter from Attorney General Knox relative to the so- called beef trust was made public today by Representative Ray of New York, chalir- man of the house committee on judiciary.

WAITING ON SUPREME COURT r Action in Regard to Taxpayers Dei After conference between several of the leading property owners of the city and W. H. Green. president of the Real Estate ex- change. it was decided to'do nothing in the way of forolng county assessors to assess at full value of the property until after the supreme court has passed upon the report of Referee Ryan. This action was in har- mony with the advice of Attorney Mclatosh, who, when the matter. was called to his at- tention, sald ““The supreme court may not follow the advice of the refer: There is a declsion handed down by that court, in which some of the present members concurred, which % that when the majority of property {has been assessed at 26 per cent of its value a taxpayer may compel boards of equalization to assess his property at that ral This gives judiclal recognition to the fact that in Nebraska assessments may be legally made at less than full value, and if this be still true action on the part of tax- payers to force the assessors to assess at full value might be unwarranted.” Wreck on Mexican Central.

WASHINGTON, April 15.—The debate on the Chinese exclusion bill was practically concluded today and voting on the bill and amendments will begin at 1 o'clock tomor- row. By general consent a vote was taken today on two important lmandmanln of- fered by Mr. Fairbanks of Indiana, striking out the definition as to Chinese students and teachers and they were agreed to with- out division. These changes were made with a view to reconciling some of the opposition to the measure, which has been directed against the rigid restrictions on students and feachers, and the necessary inconveniences this would impose on the educated Chinese classes coming te this country, The debate was participated in by Sena- tors Heitfeld of Idaho, Penrose of Penn- sylvania and Turner of Washington, in favor of the bill, and Senator Pritchard of North Carolina and Spooner of Wisconsin in opposition. Politica Creep In. Mr. Turner made the assertion that poli- tics had crept into the discuesion and that most of the members of the majority were opposed to tne bill. This brought out a sharp rejoinder from Mr. Spooner, who maintained that politics had not figured in the discussion, and that the oppo-‘tion to the present bill was due entirely its conflict with the treaty and not because of any opposition to Chinese exclusion, which was an established doctrine of the government Mr. Hansbrough, from the committee on public lands, today reported the house bill legalizing the manual of surveying in- structions of the general land office and the bill was passed. The senate then resumed consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill. There was a mass of telegrams from the cities of the Pacific coast, urging the passage of the Platt substitute re-enact- ing the Geary law. Many of the dfspatches expressed the opinion that the Geary law had been amply sufficient forthe protection of American interests and-that the pend- ing bill is too severe. Not the Voice of People. Mr. Perkins of California submitted a large number of dispatches supporting the bill. One of the telegrams was from the mayor and Board of Supervisors, or legis- lative body of San Franciseo, declaring that the opposition of the Chamber of Com- merce did mot represent the opposition of the people of the Pacific coast, who asked the passage of the senatebill. Mr. Penrose spoke in suppert of the bill. He maintained that our commerclal exs pansion in the Pacific would in no way be retarded by the exclusion of & non- assimflative people like the Chinese. Our commerce had steadily increased during the perfod of excluston, and in 1897, when the as double the amount of"the perfod preceding excli- Mr. Turner of Washington, answering the contention of Mr. Foraker, declared there was nothing in the bill incehsistent with our treaty. The bill had no peolitics in it when it came from the committee. Mr. Turner said. It was a measure for the protection of the people of our land. Says Corporations Oppose 1t. From the time it was reported, however, sentiment had been crystallizing on the re- publican side of the chamber until the measure hardly had a friend on that side save among the members of the committee. Politics had crept in, the senator declared, in spite of the effort to keep it out. The powerful corporations had been-heard from: the ‘“business interosts” had been heard from. The great transcortinental railroads and the steamship companies were opposed to exclusion, and, in his judgment, thelr oppositfon had taken the form of the pro- posed substitute for the extension of the present law, Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin expressed dis- satisfaction with the pending bill and with the substitute. He was astonished to hear from the Wash- ington senator (Mr. Turmer) an imputation of unworthy motives on the part of the senators on the republican side. Mr. Tur- ner disclaimed any attempt’to impute un- worthy motives to senators. Throws B on Turner, Not a breath of party division occurred on this measure, sald Mr. Spooner, until the senator from Washington had interfected it into the discusslon, evidently with the be- llef that when he left the republican party all its virtue departed with him. The re- publican party needed no defense, said Mr. Spooner, on the charge that it opposed ef- fective Chinese exclusion. Strike from the statute books what the party had enacted for the protection of the American wage earner and but little would remain. The senator declared that the time would never come when our peole would admit the Chinese, no matter what steamship com- pany or what rallroad company desired it. The exclusion of the Chinese was a definite and established policy, and he and his as- sociates on the republican side of the cham- ber did not yleld to the senator from Wash- ington in the determination to keep the Chinese from our shores. But Mr. Spooner sald he believed in keeping treaty obligations, and either there should be exclusion consistent with our treaty obligations, or else, if necessity re- quired, there should be an abrogation of that treaty. CONDITION OF THE CROPS Corn P ting is In Satisfactory Prog- Throughout Cern Belt. WASHINGTON, April 15.—The Weather bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: Although the temperature since March 1 has averaged above the nor- mal over the northern portion of the coun- try east of the Rocky mountalns, the season is reported as backward in these districts, except in New England and New York, where i is from one to two weeks earlier than the average. The season is also back- ward in the southern states. The week ending April 14 was cold in the central .valleys ‘and over the interfor por- tions of the Atlantic coast and east gulf dis- tricts, although milder ‘emperatures pre- valled during the latter part of the week Ardmore, | Tu April 15.—~While playing E'II on the ,“ he Washita 5": at in sdprln.- nve Bogs were buried beneath a san Eddie and Al Plerc. and Perry Cox.

Frosts occurred aé far_south as the northern portiops' of the east gulf states and the interior of the Carolinas, causing no serfous damage. Warmer and dry Weather 1s badly needed on the morth Pacific coast. Corn Planting In Progress. Corn. planting is nearing completion in the west gulf states and has made favorable progress in the Bouth Atlantic and east gult work 1s gea- eral In Kansas and Missourl and prepara- tions in lowa are unusually well advanced. Eastward of the Mississippl no corn has been planted morthward of Tennessee, ex- cepting a little In southern Virginia, In Texas and Louisiana much of the crop is up with fine stands and eultivation has begun While the growth of winter wheat has been slow, a very general Improvement is reported from thé principal winter wheat states, although the crop has deteriorated slightly in central and northern Illinols and is sufiering for rain in northern Missourt. Though somewhat improved in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, the condition ot the crop in these states continues much be- low the average. On the Pacific coast win- ter wheat has made rapid growth in Call- fornia and a heavy erop Is promised north of Tehachapl, but in Oregon and Washing- ton the condition of the crop is less promis~ ing, especially in the last named state, where a large area had to be resown. Spring Wheat Seeding. Spring wheat seeding is well advanced in the southern portion of the epring wheat region and a little has been sown in south- ern North Dakota. A severe dust storm in southern Minnesota on April 10 and 11 un- covered much of the sown grain. Warmth and moisture are much needed for germina- tion. Oat seeding is well advanced in the states of the Missouri valley but has made less tavorable progress in the Ohio valley. The early sown is looking well in Oklahoma, Kansas and the southern portions of Ne- braska and Missouri, but germination has been slow In the Ohlo valley and the crop has sustained some injury by frosts in Indlana. Cotton planting is well advanced to the westward of the Mississippl and the early planted is coming up to satlsfactory stands in Texas. Eastward of the Mississippl planting, although late, is well under way over the southern portions of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. But little planting has as yet been dohe in Missla- sippi. Except in North Carolina tobacco plants are generally plentiful and healfthtul, al- though small. The fruit outlook, except for peaches in some districts, is promising. Frosts have caused fnjury to peaches in Kentucky, Ten- nessce and the Carolinas. ORDERS AN INQUIRY (Continued from Flru! Pl!t 4 S man belng for any reason favored or shielded.

I thought perhaps he was uervous from the coffee which he drank at his meals and suggested that he try Postum. To my surprise he objected most decidedly. I sald nothing but the next morning made Postum Coffee instead of the regular coffee and gave that to the doctor. I made it acoording to directions and it bad a beautiful eoffee color and flaver, drank his cup apd remarked that the cof- fee was unusually good that merning and asked for more. From that time I served him Postum at every meal, and in the course of a week or two he showed such remarkable signs of im- provement in health and strength that I told him he had been drinking Pestum from the time he had begun to get better, You never saw such surprised man. He sald, ‘Well, i the good coffee I have bad is Postum, and leaving off regular coffee has made such a change in my health, I never want any other kind in my bouse.’ Bloce then he regularly prescribes Postum to many of his patients and with good re- sults.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

PALMA STARTS FOR CUBA Goes Back as President After Being Exile for Elghteen Year: NEW YORK, April 15.—Tomas Bstrada Palma, president-elect of Cuba, took leave today of his friends of Central Valley, N. Y., among whom he has lived during cighteen years of exile from his country. A large crowd gathered at his old home and escorted him to the station, where another large crowd had assembled. The local volunteer firemen and school children, headed by the village band, paraded and nearly everyone carried either an American or a Cuban flag. Farewell addresses in behalf of the citl- zens were made by Rev. F. C. Harding and Irving Washburn and Mr. Palma made a brief response. He sald that he left Central Valley with regret, for it had been a haven to him when he was driven from his own country. The people had always treated him with great kindness, he added, and he would always remember it with deep grate- fulness. President Underwood of the Erie raliroad gave President-elect Palma the use of his private car for the trip te New York. It was decorated with Cuban flags, bunting and ferns. Mr. Palma appeared on the rear platform as the train left the depot and there was a final cheer louder than all the rest. At Arden the children of the village #chool gathered to greet the Cuban leader and although the train did not stop there was a friendly demonstration. At 10:20 the train_reached New York. Mr. Palma will remain in New York for a few days, when he will start south for Cuba. He will land at Gibara and will go trom. there to Bayamo. It was at Bayamo twenty-five years ago. that his mother, driven imte the jungle by Spanish soldiers, died of exposure, and his first duty in Cuba will be to seek out her neglected grave. From Bayamo he will go to Manzanillo, then to Santiago and last to Havana, which he plans to reach on May 9, the day before the Cuban congress convenes.
