Babcock's RepIyto Chairman Payne's
Threat to Take the Duty Off
Lumber.
Will Push His Iron and Steel Reduc-
ton Bill ResoIuteIy, Early
and Late.

Bniiatn0, Was%;"0fo". ~ 80
Washington, Feb 5.-Representative
Babcock is very enthusiastic over the out
look for his tariff bill His mood is un-
compromising and he is determined to
compel the ways and means committee to
report the bill at an early date.
From now on he says, 81 am going
to push the bill at every opportunity. I
shall take advantage of every possible
opening and press the bill every time
Is there is the smallest opportunity"
He was asked if he intended to try
again to attach his bill as rider to some
other bill which was about to be reported
or was up in the house for discussion
Il covered that" he answered, when
said that would take advantage of every
opening that offered. If the bill ever
gets before the house it will pass by three
to one. And it will get before the
house."
At yesterdays meeting Of the ways and
means committee Chairman Payne warned
Babcock that if he did not stop his agita-
tion the committee would ''go up into
Wisconsin and take the duty off lumber"
Babcock's answer to that threat has not
yet been printed. 1t was that Payne and
the committee could go up into Wiscon-
sin and be id When asked about
Payne's threat Babcock said:
l don't care whether he takes the duty off
lumber or not. That is threat that has no
terrors for me. That won't hurt Wisconsin.

SOARING STOCKS
Further Explanation of the
Rise in 500 and Twin
City Transit.

Special to The Journal
New York, Feb. 5.-The advance in 500
stocks is the result of speculation based
on large earnings. It is reckoned that
the company which is controlled by the
Canadian Pacific, will have to pay per
cent on preferred stock this year. The
Candian Pacific owns So, ,533 900 out of the
$1,000, 900 preferred stock and ST.
O66,600 out of the $14,0O0,oOO common.
The fact has kept a good many people
from buying into the property, as it is
thought the Candian Pacific has every
temptation not to be too liberal in the
matter of dividends. The earnings. how
years crop in Manitoba and the Canadian
northwest and it has been figured that
the road may show per cent on common
for the year.
Efforts have been made to stimulate
speculation in Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic stocks on the strength in 500
stock. The advance in the former is
thought to be move by the pool in the
latter to market some of its holdings.
1t is obvious that the prosperity of this
country will rebound to the benefit of the
Canadian railroads and that their receipts
from traffic will warrant higher quota
tions for their shares.
The annual report of the Twin Citv
Rapid Transit is regarded as iustifvine q
the advance in stock of the last twelve
months. The company earned over So
per cent for the year and paid per cent
Assuming that expenses are sufficient to
keep the property up, the indications are
that before very long the dividend rate
can safely be advanced. The balance
sheet in the report is very Clean and
there are now apparently no pressing fn
ancial problems to be solved The sue
cess of this street railway enterprise is
considered very notable hene.
Another Point Up -
500 stock made another new record to-
day, the preferred selling to 104 On yes
terday's market the price struck 103
which was high to that time Trade was
not so heavy to-day
The continued speculative interest in
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic has ex-
erted much interest and conjecture on
the floor of the stock exchange. Gossfp
to-day attributed the greater part of the
buying to interests identified with the
Rutland railroad and Dominion Securities
company's plans. The selling of Canadian
Pacific was detected under cover Of
strength of the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic and "Soo' Line shares, as also
some profit taking for Toronto account in.

that there was no confirmation OF diyi-

HOT IT IS FOR
HENDERSON.
Speaker and House Must
Yield as to Cuba.
COUNTRY IS AROUSED
Henderson Finally Realizes That
He Has Blundered.
WIDE VS.. NARROW HORIZONS
Of Country. President
and Senate Certain to, Be
Triumphant.

From, The Journal Bnrea., Room 80, Pos.
Buildissg, Warrington.
Washington, Feb. 5.-One of the livest
questions that has been before congress
for years is that of Cuban tariff conces-
heat and the pressure brought to bear on
Speaker Henderson and the ways and
means committee :b5ssEsssdblic sentiment is
strong and unceasing. President Roose-
Welt has caught she popular favor and so
has the senate, which indorses his de-
mand for concessions.
The house must ultimately yield, or so
stir the people as to ,endanger this year s
congressional elections. Everybody is be-
ginning to see this. Speaker Henderson
led in the policy which brought the storm
of the past week, but did it. probably
without dreaming that the country was
as deeply interested in Cuba as it seems
to be. 1t was a strategic blunder and
Henderson will doubtless be glad when
he can gracefully correct it.
The Wide VS.. the Narrow.
The president has in mind great ma
tional policy as regards Cuba. Hender-
sons horizon was more narrow. He did
not rise to the opportunity the Cuban
situation offered.
Now, however, he sees his mistake. He
is studying the debatable congressional
districts. The fifty eighth congress
he plainly sees, is in danger. Three
groups of districts may be lost
Beet sugar effects one, war taxes
reduction another, and the thirt
and largest comprises that part of the
country which thinks that American honor
and public faith are at stake in the Cubar
matter.
The beet sugar interest is small an6
local. The demand for less taxation Is
more general, but is not enthusiastic

London, Feb 5.-The British pursuit
of General De Wet has been successful
to the extent that his last gun has been
captured and Commandant Vessels, one
OF his principal lieutenants. has been
routed. Lord Kitchener sent the news in
a dispatch from Pretoria dated Tuesday,
as follows:

and routed a considerable force Of the enemy

SPECIAL RULE
Babcock and Other Amendments for
Caucus Consideration


Caucus Consideration.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The program for
the consideration of the war revenue re-
peal bill was the cause of frequent con
terences between republican leaders to-
day and canvass as to whether the bill
should be brought to a vote under
special rule without debate. Its%purpose
would be to avoid an amendment similar
to that of Representative Babcock in the
ways and means committee, reducing the
rates in the iron and steel schedule or
amendments from the minority in the
line OF general tariff revision. The result
OF the canvass has shown majority of
the house favorable to such special rule.
In making the canvass the view has been
presented to republican members that
tariff revisions such as those proposed by
Mr. Babcock might be left for the de-
termination of a republican caucus, sub
ject to the passage of the war revenue re-
duction bill. Those fully advised as to
the canvass say it has shown a sentiment
favorable to such caucus consideration
of all tariff amendments, thus leaving the
war revenue reduction bill to be passed

sylvania and Maine, especially hemlock peo-
pie in Pennsylvania. If Mr.. Payne makes
that threat good he will be hurting the east,
not the west. Nobody out our way is going
to be worried by the taking off Of that duty.
1t would have been taken out of the Dingley
tariff when that bill passed if it had been
passed by schedules. When that was up
the democrats got to fighting about the lead
ership, and that took so much time that very
few of the schedules were read That saved
the lumber duty. Anyway, the lumber duty
is of very little Importance when compared
with iron and steel duties.

THE BLUFF CALLED.

The Holderman case has gone
over to the May term of court.
The government has made great
big bluff, and at cost OF a great
many thousands Of dollars. Hold
erman is charged with excessive
land holding in the Cherokee ma
tion. There ought to be a law
against such holdings, but in th
absense of such a law the action
of the government is purely arbi
trary. There are several gangs Of
men under the employ OF the
Dawes commission going abou
over the Cherokee nation sizing
up land holdings of Cherokee citi
zens with view to criminal pros
ecution. The money is worse
than wasted, because there is n
law under which these monopo
lists can be reached. Let il first
be determined just what a pro rat
share of Cherokee land is, then
force every citizen to take their
allotments. A little com
mon, horse sense injected into the
government officials who have
these matters in hand, would save
lots of expense and 10 little an
noyance to court and people.
