LIVELY DEBATE IN SENATE
sOUTHERNERS AROUSED BY CHAUN-
CEY vi. DEPEw's SPEECH.
His AIIusiOn to Unfair Suffrage Laws
Resented by Money. Blackburn,
simmons and Others.

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill continued in the
House to-day, the principal speech being
made by Mr.. Long, of Kansas, a member of
the ways and means committee, who from
the first ardently supported the proposition
for reciprocity and who originally favored
a reduction of 40 per cent. In closing Mr..
Long said THAT it is our duty to COM
plete the work undertaken in Cuba is recog-
nized by every patriotic American. We can
discharge that obligation and still do no
harm to any American industry. Special
interests have endeavored TO prevent ac-
ton and tried to alarm Congress by the cry
that their particular industries will be
ruined if reciprocity with Cuba is adopted.
The facts do not warrant this assumption.
and if this Congress does its duty. as did
the Congress that passed the resolution of
Intervention, it will provide. before this
session ends, for reciprocity with Cuba
which Will bring happiness and content
ment to the people of that island. further
promote the prosperity of the people of
the United States and honoraby finish the
work undertaken when the war with Spain
began"
Mr.. Long met voIley 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 Iowa, Mr.. Need
ham and Mr.. Kahn of California and w. a.
Smith of Michigan. He ridiculed the Re
publican adversaries Of reciprocity, who,
he said. refused to yield any concession to
Cuba because they alleged IL threatened
the protective system, but who deliberately
proposed to adopt revolutionary course
to take the diferential off of refined sugar,
which. ne said, had been placed i'm the
Dingley bill for the express purpose of pro-
tecting the beet-sugar industry.
Mr.. Shafroth, of Colorado. vigorously op-
posed the bill on the ground that the sugar
trust, which, he said, was waging war of
determination against the beet-sugar in
dustry, would be its chief beneficiary.
The leaders of the House who have been
much worried as to the outcome Of the CON
troversy were considerably relieved to-day
when Mr.. Watson, of Indiana, who is act
ing as the Republican whip on this occa-
sion informed them that. after a careful
canvass, he was positive that when the at
tempt 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 il
is conceded that the uncertainty regarding
the fate of the bill hinges on the question of
overruling the chair. Despite Mr.. Wat
sons canvass there are those among the
opponents of the bill who still contend that
they will win the victory.

at the prison inquiry. In reply TO ques-
tons ne said: Il cannot call TO mind any
cases of in treatment of convicts that were

rot complain OF another. Prisoners were
frequently shackled to the doors in standing

OF any complaint being made TO me by DR..
Horne I'm the Fisher case. / knew of the
incident when he was hurt. but did not con-
slider the matter of consequence. In the
Patterson case I had no report from the
doctor or anyone else that the deputy had
rnistreated him. The complaint was made
10 me that the deputy and other officers
used profane language In talking 10 pris-
Oners and | forbade IL.
Mr.. Shideler said of Convict Gibson. who
testified previously, that he had no conf
dence in Gibson and considered him unre-
liable. Gibson testified that Convict Chap
man was set on by officers Connors and
Bowlin and so badly injured that he died
later in the hospital. Gibson was sent 20
prison originally on a charge OF murder.
About four years ago while he and three
other convicts had eluded the guards and
were playing a game Of craps, Gibson and
one or the others became engaged IN an
alteration and he stabbed the man with
knife he had stolen. The man died and Glib
son was sentenced for life.
Henry Heitkam. sent here from Indianap-
oils employed as butcher at the prison for
twenty-five months. said he examined all
meats before and after they were placed In
the refrigerator and that he never saw any
that tainted or spoiled. but did not
know how much time expired before IL was
cooked and served TO the prisoners. The
meat. he said was of good quality.
Convict Williams. cook OF the hospital,
said he received two lots Of meat In March
that were tainted He called DR.. Hornes
attention to the meat. but far he
knew he made no report 20 the warden or
deputy. Williams cooked the meat. using
soda to make il palatable. and considered
il all right
Convict Jesse Webb said there were two
lots of bad meat and supply OF rotten figs.
He knew the meat was used. but did not
know what became OF the figs.
Or. Horne still retains his position behind
Judge Davis He now has little or nothing
to say. Judge Davis stated that the Board
of Charities had not determined when it
Mould announce its findings. but that the
members would probably take several days
a. least TO go over the evidence. The board
adjourned at 1888 d until tomorrow

sary TO remain here over Sunday.
