The convention was called to order at

An interesting feature of the morning

EFFECTS OF REPEAL OF
COUNTERVAILING DUTIES

Rosario Company. New York corpora
ton. whose output was 1900 tons. but
they had no agreement with that COM
pany. One-fourth of last years Cuban
crop, he said, had been handled by his
firm.
Mr.. Rionda said that IL the reciprocity
bill. as 1t now stands, should become a
law the repeal OF the countervailing duties
on European sugars would kill the sugar
refining business in this country In a few
years.
Mr.. Hayward @. Leavitt. the president
OF the Leayitt Nebraska Beet Sugar Fac
tory, the second witness. stated very
positively that the House bill will abolish
the countervailing duty on raw or refined
sugars. He said that the benefits of these
duties all go TO the trust. and that they
will suffer II the bill Is passed.
A Natural Conclusion.
Taking up Mr.. Havemeyer's testimony
before the Industrial Commission that
the sugar trust refined 80 per cent Of the
sugar consumed by the United States. Mr..
Leavitt said that IL that were true the
trust controlled the national sugar re-
fineries which now posed as independent
concerns. He concluded. therefore. that
the trust practically controlled the pur-
chase of raw cane sugar because there
was actually no competition.
Mr.. Leavitt referred to the proposed
abolition on September /, 1903. of the
bounty and cartel systems by the Brus-
sells conference. and said Cuban sugar
would then be able to compete with other
sugars in the market OF the world. for
the sugar business would then be restored
10 its normal condition The abolition of
the bounty system would greatly stimu-
late the refining of sugar in England. and
those refineries would then compete with
the United States for Cuban raw sugar.
Mr.. Lcavitt will be heard again today.

SENATE COMEDIES
RIGHT TO HOUSE
Instructions to Conferees Not
Improper.
Incorporation of Action in Message tc
Upper Body an Unparalleled Instance
Senate Appoints Conferees.

The conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was taken up in the Senate
yesterday and an Interesting discussion
occurred over the attitude taken by the
House on the bill.
As stated in The Times the House on
Tuesday instructed its conferees to elimi-
nate from consideration the Selfridge
board claims.
Mr.. Hale began the discussion yesterday
by saying he had had doubts about the
propriety Of the House Instructions to its
confcrees. but that on further cons,cera-
ton he felt constrained to admit that the
House had the right to instruct Its con-
ferees and that that was Its only remedy,
the Selfridge amendments being new mat
ter which should not have been Tut on
the bill. But he thought that the message
from the House should cot have mentioned
the Instructions.
Mr.. Spooner asked Mr.. Hale whether he
remembered any instance Of the Kind.
No Parallel Case.
Mr.. Hale replied that he did not; ard
that therein. he thought the House bad
made mistake. The House had a right to
instruct its conferees, but should rot have
incorporated the fact in its message to the
Senate. 1t was undoubtedly an inadvert-
ence. but he did not think 1t worth while
TO raise controversy about it. The thing
had never happened before and might
never happen again. He hoped that fur
Their conference would be ordered
Mr.. Hoar argued that the sense Of the
Senate should be tested as to whether Il
would retire on the disputed amerdment
before a further conference vas ORDER ed.
He said that the House position was a
direct notification to the Senate that
there could be no free conference rrd that
under the circumstances 1t would be i'm
proper for the Senate to appoint con-
ferees. -7si
Senator Bacon Concurs.
Senator Bacon took the same view of
the question. 20
Senator Warren, of the conference COM
mittee, argued that 1t would be better to
appoint the confereesi again. and this it
was finally decided to do.

COSTA RIGA REVOLUTION
PROMPTLY SQUELCHED
Purely a Military Affair Organ

Consul L. c. Quintero, Who Returns to
This Country, Declares But
Two Men Were Killed.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1i.-Lamar C
| Qulntero, consul of Costa Rica at New
Orleans, arrived here today from SaI
Jose the capital of that republic. where
he went to witness the Inauguration OF
Ascension Esquiyal, the new president OF
the republic.
MIR. Quntero was In San Jose the day
that a revolution was said to have oc-
CURED there in the interest of Senior De-
metric Yglesias. The revolution was a
purely military affair. organized by ca
bal of officers and without popular sup
port, and was suppressed by President
Yglesias in a day.
The new president, Don Ascension Es-
quival, was the candidate of the outgoing
president, Rafael Yglesias. His opponent
was Don Maxine Fernandez candidate of
the Republican party. The Costa Rican
Congress which declared the result of the
popular election. met at San Jose in May,
and by a vote Of 81 to pronounced Es-
quival elected president.
The Popular Choice.
A few days afterward and before the in
auguration the soldiers in two of the
cuarteles or barracks, which included
most of the army. repudiated the action of
the people and Congress, and declared as
president Don Demetrio Yglesias, then
going president.
This pronunciamento surprised no ono
more than Don Demetrio, who had favored
EsQuival for president. and he went to the
barracks and tried to induce the troops to
listen TO reason.
General Arias, who was in command OF
the army. made Yglesias a prisoner. and
declared that he would take 1t himself If
the minister of war would not accept the
presidency.
Called on People
In the meanwhile President Raphael
Yglesias appealed to the people TO sup
port the government against the revolu-
ton. and they aocked TO San Jose by
thousands from all quarters, and rendered
him their assistance The mutineers cap
