This with the difierentia Of las makes "A

which, in his judgment bore out the fore
going figures that the amendment would
take off in diferentials and countervail-
ing duties a total Of sos on refining sugar
coming from Germany and other coun-
tries giving bounties.
Mr.. Teller Colo today introduced in
the senate the following
Whereas. II has been currently re-
ported that nearly the entire crop of Gu
ban sugar has been purchased and is now
held by what is generally known as the
sugar trust which is the principal con-
sumner Of raw sugar in the United States
and that any concession given to the raiser
OF cane sugar in the island Of Cuba or any
measure intended for their relief by ad-
hitting their sugar at reduced rates of
| duty into the United States will only bene-
ht the sugar trust and that the Cuhans
viii receive no real benefit from such
| concessions; and,
Whereas 1t is alleged that number Of
citizens OF the United States have acquired
large holdings OF cane producing lands in
| Cuba, and are now especially urging the
reduction Of duty on suger under the
claim that such reduction will benefit the
people OF Cubs therefore be it
| Resolved That the committee on rela-
tions with Cuba be directed TO make an
| investigation as TO the truth Of such
charges and report to the senate; and 70
report, in addition thereto, what is the
normal cost Of making sugar in the island
OF Cuba, aud also, If any concession shall
be made in the way Of a reduction OF duty
on sugar coming from Cuba into the United

tablshed on articles produced in the

be "iu lieu Of the duties thereon new
provided by law" and it takes off both the
differcutiaI OF about cents hundred
pounds and the eountervailing duty OF the
Dingley law, amounting to between IS
and ~ cents hundred pounds.
Representative Morris (Minu), who
framed the amendment Is examining the
Dingley and other laws TO determine
whether Mr. Payues point is good Mr.
Morris said that from the inquiry so far
he did not think the claim was good but
" IT was the matter could easily be-
remedled by amendment.
The senate IS by no means decided as
to what it will do with the bill
The measure reached the senate a few
minutes after that body convened today
and was received with exceptional interest
which was made evident by the private
comments Of senators.
The bill goes to the committee on re-
lations with Cuba. which Is composed Of
seven republicans and four opposition sena-
tors, Mr.. Plat Gonna being chairman.
Being asked today ii he felt disposed to
outline his view Of the probable course
OF the committee with reference 10 the
measure Senator Plat declined to say
more than that meeting will be called
at an early date to decide upon course
Of action, merely adding 1--WE arc not

republican senator suggested the posi-
bdity OF an investigation into the question
OF the probable henehciafies under the
proposed reduction If made.
II the bill had passed the house without
an amendment removing the diHerential on
refined sugar. it would have received the
support Of two Of the four Of the oppo-
sition members OF the committee These
are Mcssrs Money and Simmons, aud they
are now more than ever pleased with IT,
On the other hand at least two Of the re-
publican members, Mcssrs. Mcmillan and

Washington. April ros-The principal
topic of conversation in legislative cir
eles today has been the great victory
scored by the democrats and the beet
sugar insurgents yesterday. Speculation
turned principally to two questions, the
probable fate Of the amended reciprooi-
'y bill in the senate and the future rels-
tions between the house leaders and the
insurgents" who sided with the democrats
a such a critical moment. The general
impression among well informed people
seems 10 be that the bill, If It IS ever
passed, will not BE- in a shape which will
be satisfactory 10 the republicans and
there are many who believe that the COM
bned strength OF the democratic senators
and the republicans from the beet sugar
States will be sufficient TO kill the measure
entirely If it is found impossible to pass
it with the differential amendment. which
is believed 10 be out Of the question. II
is confidently predicted that If the bill
goes to the committee on relations with
Cuba II will be smothered However this
may be. there is no doubt that it is in
great danger.
lust at this time the matter Of the
course TO be pursued by the house leaders
towards the beet sugar men is really the
more important Of the two problems now
confronting the dominant party. As the
situation stands at present, the "insur
gents" flushed with their success Of yes
terday, and still smarting under the al
most contemptuous manner in which they
have been treated by the house leaders,
are IN a position to cause those leaders
and the party in general some very IN
happy moments The Reed rules have
proven obnoxious to republicans and demo
Gratis alike, and since members OF the
majority have once assisted in the over
throw il is possible that the same thing
may happen again If Henderson, Payne.
Dalzell and Grosvenor, the four men who
control legislation in the house, are not
extremely careful. This being the case, an
impression prevails that attempts will be
made to eonciliste the insurgents
Whether or not, they will meet the sd-
vanoes Of the leaders in the spirit in which
they are made, is question which has a
momentous bearing on the future OF the
republican party, and one which only time
can solve.
