OPINIONS DIFFER ON
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Ways and Means Committee
Fails to Reach Conclusion.
Afforded Taken UP-RepubIicans
Hope to Avoid n Caucus.

| The Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee yesterday took up
the subject OF Cuban reciprocity. but
| failed to reach conclusion. An agree
ment may not be arrived at for some
days, at least, as during the conference
| it developed that every member who had
an opportunity to be heard entertained a
different idea of the situation and had a
different remedy to propose.
Representative Tawney held the floor
most OF the time, discussing and explain
ing the bill introduced by Representative
Morris. of Minnesota which proposes TO
increase the duty on sugar. and then re-
duce the increased duty as far as Cuban
sugar is concerned.
Question Cry of Distress.
The conference first took up the ques-
ton of whether there was any real rea-
son that anything should be done for
Cuba; that is to- say, whether the cry of
distress was genuine, or whether it came
from interested parties.
Opinion was divided. it being main
tanned by those who are unalterably OPP
posed to any reduction in the tariff that

Passing over this point without reaching
conclusion. the members present took
up the question of how relief could best
be afforded Cuba, so as TO reach the peo-
pie in need and not be lost between the
United States Treasury and the Cubans
Lengthy Debate Ahead.
Mr.. Tawney insisted that any reduction
in the present tariff meant great loss. if
not ruination to the sugar planters of
America. Mr.. Tawney presented all the
arguments of the beet sugar growers,
which he had at his finger tips.
No other proposition was brought for

and others of the committee who have
ideas to advance preferred to ascertain
as far as possible the views of the others
before exploiting their own
Would Mean n Loss.
No concerted effort was made to reach |
an agreement, it being felt that it should |
be the subject of the most careful con- |
siderat!on and that the greatest lati- |
tude of debate should be given II was
evident that united action was the OBJ |
jectiye point, and that differences of !
opinion should be reconciled in confer |
ence rather than expressed by the voting
in committee
The leaders of the House have agreed |
that if the Republican members of the
committee agree upon a bill the sense of |
the Republicans in the House shall be
taken on the proposed measure before it |
is reported from the committee 1t is
desired that a caucus shall be avoided if |
possible, owing to the possibility of
general tariff revision being discussed.

afternoon. and from day to day until an
agreement is reached

SEEKS BETTER GOVERNMENT
Mr.. Little of Arkansas Pleads Cause
of Indian Territory.

During the consideration of the Indian
bill yesterday. Mr.. Little tDem.. Ark de-
livered strong speech in favor OF the
organization of a Territorial form of gov
eminent for Indian Territory. He said
there were in that Territory nearly 400,
900 white persons, who have no voice in
the government, and who are demanding
action by Congress.
He reviewed the recent great develop
ment in various branches of industry in
the Territory. With $50 towns and cities,
and wealth amounting to $50 1000. 900, he
said, there were 10000 white children of
school age. but no schools. Such condi-
ton of affairs he declared was an out
rage. He believed the Territory was
ready for statehood. but that Congress
should grant at least some liberal form
of Territorial government
Mr.. Little also advocated the admission
of Oklahoma as a State.

Mr.. Fitzgerald Talks on Indian
Appropriation Bill.
Hew Yorker Advocates IutrOd ion
and maintenance OF Religious
and Moral Instruction.

| The House spent another day yesterday
| in consideration Of the Indian appropria-
ticn bill by discussing Il series of sub
jects entirely foreign to legislation in
the interest of Indians. Mr.. Fitzgerald
| Dem. y. " had the distinction of be-
| ing the only man during the two debates
| upon the measure who has had anything
to say in regard TO what the Government
should do for Poor 10.
In brief speech he advocated the in
PRODUCTION and maintenance of religious
and moral instruction in Indian schools,
and the adjustment of preservation
schools.
Mr.. Jackson tDem., KAN made his
maiden speech. 1t was a vigorous plea
for the election Of Senators by direct vote
Of the people.
PRINCE Henry Discussed.
Aside from the introduction % of the
Prince Henry discussion apropcs of Mr.
Wheeler's recent speech, the feature Of
the days debate was the brilliant argu-
mont of Mr.. Hamilton 6Rop., Mich1 in de-
fente of the protective tariff.systen and
his treatment of the trust question.
Trusts in the sense of corporations or
aggregations OF capital, he said. were a
and international commercial competi-
tiofls
As to the regulation of the trusts. Mr..
Hamilton asserted that not one had been
organized under a Federal law He said
they were the objects OF State legisla-
ton. and Congress had no right or pow
er to interfere with them
Fun With Democrats.
In conclusion Mr. Hamilton pokeG fun at
the Democrats for their hypocrisy in
dealing with these matters, for they were
just as Republicans in all affairs OF life,
and individually dealt with them as Re
publicans did He dealt so frankly and
entertainingly at the close as to win the
Plaudits and approval of his political as
Sociatcs.
Other speakers were Mr.. Stephens
iDem., Tex, who advised the diversion
of expenditures from the Philippine ISL
ands to Indian Territory and Mr.. Sulzer

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

The story, "Uncle Toms Cabin" waf
born at time when the North and South
were learning to hate each other, and il
took considerable courage to oppose
slavery. The story was deliberately de-
signed as blow against slavery. Every
character in it WAS pictwred for pur-
puse. Uncle Tom was introduced to
show that there existed among the low
ly blacks, individuals Of stronger charac-
ter than the average slave holder.
George Harris taught that there we're
slaves Of high spirits and intelligence.
Eliza proved that her race WAS not with
out strong mothers love. Mr.. Shelby
and St. Claire evidenced That even the
kindest masters could indirectly be the
cause Of great wrong. Topsy revealed
the depths Of ignorance which was pos
sible among the black unfortunates. and
Emmiine bore testimony of the wrongs
against women which were part OF the
institution Of slavery.
Before slavery could be abolished a
sentiment against it must be developed,
and to grow this sentiment WAS the life
labor OF many men and women. The
warmblooded southerners watched with
growing anger the increase of aboli-
tionists. The underground railway was
was ray of light across Ohio for ''the
lowly." The precepts of Uncle Toms
cabin found new ts every day.
!, Presently the guns doomed at Fort
Sumpter, the flower Of north and south
met at the point bayonets and slavery
was blotted out in the land of the free.
The above play will be presented at
