Democratic Policy Toward Cuban Rec
iprocity Decided Upon.

Washington, April 9-After a confer
ence lasting nearly three hours the
Democratic members of the house of
representatives tabled a number of
propositions which had been presented
relative to the policy to be pursued on
the Cuban reciprocity bill now before
the house and adjourned without ac-
ton on the subject The result of the
conference leaves each Democratic
member to exercise his Individual Opin-
ion, and it is generally believed that
this will result in the passage of the
reciprocity bill as the test vote in the
house showed about so Democratic
members for the bill, which will much
more than Offset the Republican defec-
ton from the measure. Mr. Hay (Va.)
was in the chair, and 80 Democratic
members We're present. For the first
hour the discussion was animated, and
at times there was much confusion,
Chairman Hays gavel beating in
lively manner to preserve order.
Mr. Underwood (Ala-) and several
other members proposed making the
action of the meeting binding Mr..
Hay ruled, however. that the gathering
was conference and not caucus, and
as such was not binding until so de-
termined by the meeting, and the meet
ing later decided to the same effect.
The main discussion took place IN a
resolution presented by Representative
BurlesOn CTeX.) proposing a 20 per cent.
tariff reduction on a number of speci-
fed articles, a substitute by Represen-
tative Sulzer On. W proposing so per
cent reciprocity with Cuba, and an
amendment by Representative New
lands (Nev) that this so per cent. con-
cession be accompanied by a PROPOSE
ton of annexation Mr.. BurleSon's res
olution specified that the % per cent.
tariff reduction should be made on
nails. barbed wire. fencing wire. cot
ton bagging, cotton ties. binding Irvine
and wood pulp used in making printing
paper; also that the differential be
taken off sugar. The debate took
wide range, and finally all of the fore
going propositions were laid on the
table practically without opposition. as
it had become evident that no united
action could be secured on any of the
plans proposed. AS the conference had
been without result, a resolution was
adopted before adjournment that all Of
the proceedings should be secret.

NATION-DUNSMORE DEBATE
Discussion at Chanute Was Tame
Affair.


Chanute, Kan. April 9-The debate
between Carrie Nation of Ratchet fame
and the Bald Hornet of the Neosho.'
J. Morgan Dunsmore, ex-speaker Of the
Pump house, which took place here
last night was of sufficient prominence
for the railroads to run special trains
from surrounding towns. When the
curtain was raised every seat in the
theater was occupied and every inch OF
standing room eagerly sought for. It is
estimated that over 1900 people heard
the debate, and several hundred were
turned away.
The subject was What's the Matter
With Prohibition? or Hatchet vs. Law
Methods
Mrs. Nation opened the argument pro-
ceeding in her usual epigrammatic style,
making points here and there in a dis
course that was confined to no partic-
ular line Of argument Her first three re-
marks assailed each of the three po-
htical parties and the gist of the whole
was TRADE against the party in power
and the loose manner of enforcing Ihe
prohihitOry law.
Dunsmore found fault with the pro
hibitory law on the ground that every
provision confiicted with a law favor
ing whisky. In every prosecution, 1t
was one law arraigned against another.
the result Of the smooth work done by
the politicians that control the State
Temperance union He offered a remedy
in the shape of a law compelling the pO-
lice judge Of every city to turn into the
county treasury, every dollar collected
from fines, the money to be applied to
the common school fund. thus knocking
out all the Doodle money that exists in
whisky traffic. He guaranteed that it
would close two-thirds of the joints in
the state in sixty days.
Mrs Nations reply was in the nature
of ridicule which successfully eombatted
none of the argument ofthe subject. She.
however, had the last word by asking
all those in the audience who believed
that she won the debate to stand up,
and everyone in the house did SO.

WILL CLOSE MINES.
Plan of Coal Companies For Beating
Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa. April a.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
A remarkable development in the coal
miners strike in the central district
fields has taken place during the past
few days 1t is learned from official
sources that the strike of the miners
there and particularly those who were
employed by the Rochester & Pittsburg
Coal company has determined the coal
company on drastic measures for
stamping out all uniOnism on their sec
ton. The Rochester & Pittsburg com
pany, which employs fully 10000 men,
despairing of a settlen ent of the trOu-
BILE with its miners has given orders to
close the mines This order means the
absolute idleness of the properties Of
the company for at least all Of the pres
ent summer. It will leave the miners
without work. whether they would work
or not, and will seriously affect business
in PunxSutaWney.
The first step taken was to issue no
tice to the miners occupying houses
them. The first OF these e1ectment no
were to miners who had been among
the leaders Of the strike. All Of the
others are to have similar notices serv-
ed upon them during the present week,
and with their families, viii be COMPEL
ed to move. In addition to this the
company's stores have been practically
closed and the clerks dismissed.
When the company is ready to begin
again It is said. it viii hire non-union
men only.
