LEFT SUGAR MEN.
They Will Fight to the Last Against
 Reciprocity.

Washington, June 12.-Thc Republican Ser ators who are friendly to beet sugar and who oppose the proposed Iegislatio for a reduction of the tariff on Cuban products, held q conference of almost two hours duration today and decided to con- tinue their opposition to the recoprocity proposition. They will do this by an- nouncing to the advocates of the tariff reduction that they will cast their votes for the reciprocity bill as it passed the House of Representatives, including the Morris amendment for the abolition of the differential duty on refined sugar. and that they will resist all amendments that may be offered to it.
 They will propose two alternatives One of these is to drop the subject and make no further attempt to secure reciprocity legislation. The other is to accept the rebate plan.
 The Committee of Consolidation. appoint ed to confer with the Senators of the Cuban Committee. at the outset reported that they had failed to secure concessions from the opposition.
 The effect of the Thurber testimony was thoroughly considered.
 count of those present and those ab- sent and known to be in sympathy with the movement, led to the conclusion that there are at least nineteen Republican Senators who can be depended to stand together in any course agreed on. Count. ing the full Democratic vote as favorable to the House bill. the beet sugar advo- cates concluded that a proposition to pass that measure unamended would be put forward. The combination of the two forces would give a total of ffty-two votes or seven more than a majority.
 Sugge stion was made that rather to see the House bill go to vote under such conditions friends of Cuban reel procity either would accept d rebate plan or permit the session to come to close without making further attempt to secure action.
 The committee, in making it's report on past efforts to secure harmonious action by Republican Senators. dwelt at some length on the bill proposed by the reel procity advocates, pointing out with spe- cial emphasis the amendment abolishing the House provision requiring Cuba &C., ceptance of American immigration. labor and exclusion laws. This action. it was declared. would have at least the partial effect of bringing American workingman into competition with cheap foreign la bor, and was spoken of as being most ob- jectionable. They. therefore. decided that this arrangement also should be resisted, as should all others in case the bin should come to a vote in the Senate. No date has been decided on for the Republican caucus for Senators.

CONFERS WITH SENATOR'S
Platt and Spooner at White
 House.
The Former Governor of Cuba Has Not Yet Been Summoned to Ap- pear Before the Investiga-
 ting Committee.

Washington, June 12.-President Roose- welt and party arrived tonight from West Point.
 Soon after the President reached the White House, Senator Platt Conno chairman of tho Committee on Relations, called by appointment. The announce ment was made at the White House that no statement would be given out tonight regarding General Woods action in giving Cuban funds for the circulation of litera- ture favorable to reciprocity legislation. but that such statement probably will be issued tomorrow.
 Senator Spooner CWis.) called also by appointment soon after the arrival of Senator Platt, and the two Senators were in conference with President Roosevelt for more than an hour. At its close, neither Senator would say anything as to the nature of their joint talk with the President. Some questions exists. 1t is said. as to whether a. statement will he issued from the White House concerning General Woods Cuban reciprocity expen- ditures. some doubt existing as to the policy of treating the matter as of suf- ficient importance to warrant formal off, ficial statement from the administration.
 General Wood has not been summoned to appear before the investigat ting com mittee as yet.
 The conference discussed the outlook for racinrocitv lepisIation in view of recent developments, but so far as can be learned there is no change in the Presidents pur- pose.

 Express Messenger Webb, of the fast mall train, was caught under the debris and died shortly after having been re- mo we'd to place of safety.
 The story of the wreck, as told by the messengers on the mail train, Is thrill ing one of being placed in a position of being able to see the approaching dis aster On account of the position of the track. there being a double reverse curve at the place of the wreck, the passengers were able to see rom the slue or the cars the approaching accommodation train. They thought it merely passing of regu- lar trains. and did not heed the warning until the crash came, and it was too late to help themselves
 Tho accommodation train. being the lighter one was entirely telescoped. the nonderous machinery of the fast train nlowing it's way through the cars and splintering them into kinding wood. Both engines had their positions reversed and were thrown forty yards from the track.

 In making his protest, Colonel Estill names twenty counties in the State In which he alleges irregularities occurred. In five of the counties mentioned specific charges are made, while in the remaining fifteen the charge of illegality is general and is based on what the protestant deems to be reliable information"
 The receipt of the protest by Chair nan Brown yesterday afternoon created sensation in local political circles. Chairman Brown was seen at once by representative of The Constitution, to whom he stated that Colonel Estilis pro test had been received and that it would be duly transmitted to the State Con- vention when that body meets in July.

 The charge as to Banks County is that tickets were printed and circulated on which the names of Query and Estiil had been erased. In Laurens it Is alleged that one precinct was not counted, the protestant stating his belief that a fuii count would have given him the county.
 It is charged that in Tattnall. in one precinct the manager refused to open the polls because there was no one pres ent to represent Mir. Guerry.
 Colonel .Estilfs last specific charge Is that in Jefferson one or more precincts closed before the hour prescribed by law.

 Emanuel. Towns, Union. White. Daw- son, Washington. Murray. Dade' Lowndes. Gilmer. Forsyth, Worth. Mill Ter Fannn and Colquit.

PULLED THE ART MARKET.
Complaint That American Million
 aires Have Run Up Prices.

a1LCo x16VC &soh OP 4AiCSc'
 Berlin, June 12.-The art critic of the vossische zeitung complains that Ameri- can millionaires have sent up the prices of paintings to such point that Euro pean collectors are now unable to com pete with them.
 The fact that pictures go to the United States. says the critic. does not mean their loss to the world. as European ar lists often assert, and many of the older American collectors often showed genuine appreciation and understanding of art. Quincy Shaw recognized the merit of the Fontainebleu school when its pictures could not be given away in Paris.
 Mir. Shaw made a larger collection of the paintings of that school than all the French collections put together.
 The critic of the vossische Zeitung also mentions Henry G. Marquand and Allan Marquand. of New York. and Mrs. Gard ner of Boston. as discriminating picture collectors. He deplores. however, the invasion of the art field of the younger of American millionaires who he declares to be without real artistic saying they make 1t possi- hle for picture dealers to increase the prices of pictures ten fold and thus shut out European buyers.

Waterbury. Conn.,. June 12.-Judge Rob- inson, of the Superior Court has handed down a decision dissolving the injunction which restrained the executors of the Plant will from removing the $17.0oo.ooo trust fund from Connecticut into New York. except that $1h.o00 the amount of a legacy to which Charles E. Headley of this city is entitled, as representing his children, must remain in this State &C., cording to the decision.
 Judge Robinson finds that the Hoadley heirs are collateral kindred being sons of a half brother of the testator. and as such they have a collateral interest in the es- tate. He does not find. however, that according to will, they are in any way interested in the distribution of the $l7.- 00o. 900 trust fund in the event of the de- cease of the beneficiary mentioned in the will
