Beet sugar Senators Would Not Be
Convinced-Reduce Tariff on su-
gar Would Be in Interest of Trust,
snid Burrows of Michigan.
Washington, June 1S.-The Repub-
ucan senators held a conference to-
night on the subject of Cuban recip-
rocity, and after a flood of short
without action of any sort. Seventeen
senators, one after another, announced
unalterable opposition to a reduction
of the duty on Cuban sugars, and
announcement was made that two
others not present stood with them
Spooner of Wisconsin, took the lead
in behalf of the proposed legislation
and endeavored to convince the beet
sugar senators that the measure they
had framed jointly would not injure
any American interest. but theiE
speeches made no impression on the
opposition and the conference ad-
iourned until Friday, at the desire
of the friends of Cuban reciprocity in
order that they might have a last
opportunity to try to agree on a meas
ure that the beet sugar senators will
accept.
1t was the general opinion after the
conference that this session of the
conference would adjourn without Gu
ban reciprocity legislation of any
sort.
The conference was attended by all
but six of the Republican senators.
The nineteen senators opposed to the
reciprocity bill are: Perkins and Bard
of California; Mitchell and Simon of
Oregon; Foster of Washington: Gam
BILE and Kittredge of South Dakota;
Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota; Diet
rich and Willard OF Nebraska; Elkins
and Scott OF West Virginia; Jones and
Stewart of Nevada; Burton of Kansas;
Burrows of Michigan; Mason of Him
OILS, and Wellington of Maryland.
Senator Allison made a brief address
in calling the conference to order and
he was followed by Senator Plat of
Connecticut and Senator Burrows of
Michigan, for and against tariff re-
duction. Senator Allison pleaded for
harmony, good feeling and solid par
~ front.
Senator Plat insisted that the pro-
posed substitute for the House bill
would not harm the beet sugar inter
ests and said that If he thought so he
would not be for it. He dwelt on the
fact that there had been an implied
promise of tariff concessions for Cuban
products.
Would Benefit Sugar Trust.
Senator Burrows in reply said the
ostensible purpose of the proposed re-
ciprocity measure was to benefit a for
eign country, but that it's real purpose
would be to benefit the largest pur-
chaser of raw sugar and that the con-
cession granted would not go to the
Cuban planter, but to the consumer of
raw sugar in the United States, the
sugar trust.
At the conclusion of the speeches
Senator Quay said that what had been
developed indicated that neither the
original House bill nor the proposed
Spooner substitute could pass and he
therefore moved an adjournment. SEN
ator Dietrich suggested that the con-
ference might as well adjourn sine die,
but this received no encouragement.

Rev. Francis NJ. whittIe, Virginia.

Richmond Va, June 18.-Rt Rev.
Francis NJ. Whittle, bishop of the Epis-
copal diocese of Virginia, died at his
home here this afternoon, aged rs.
Bishop Whittle was consecrated as
sistant bishop of Virginia in 1868, and
upon the death of Bishop Johns, in
1876, became bishop of the diocese of
Virginia.
An interesting incident in the bishops
career was in connection with the fam
Gus Flower convention of the diocese OF
Virginia which was held in F'redericks-
burg in 1878. In his pastoral letter,
Bishop Whittle forbade the use of
flowers in the decorations of the
churches Of his diocese at Easter, hold
ing that the custom was not authorized
by the Scriptures.
The bishop was sustained by the con-
vention by a large ma jority.

DISCUSSED CANAL ROUTE.
'"uhs on Amendments to Nicaragua
Bali Will Begin To-day-Pa ma IN "A
Route Has the Lead.

Young on Amendments to Nicaragua
BIZ Will Begin To-day-Panama
Route Has the Lead.
Washington. June 1S.-Interest in the
isthmian canal question increases as
the time for a final vote in the Senate
approaches. Tomorrow at o'clock
the voting on the amendments to the
pending Nicaragua canal bill viii be-
gin and a final disposition of the mat
ter is expected to be reached soon af-
terward
The Senate to-day devoted prac-
ucally its entire session to considera-
tlon OF the canal question. Extended
speeches were delivered by Mr.. Spoon
er Of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Hanna OF
emo In advocacy of the adoption of
me Panama route, and Mr.. Pettus of
AlaDama advocated the Nicaragua
route. Senator Teller of Colorado
briefly announced his support of the
Panama project, while Senator Jones
OF Arkansas indicated his leanings to-
ward the same route.
Mr.. Spooner advocated the Panama
route for an isthmian canal. He said
ne could not disregard the report of
the commission and follow the judg-
ment of senator (AIr Morgan) he
PAID a cordial tribute to the energy,
aolllty and earnestness with which
senator Morgan had advocated an 18th
milan canal. and added that Senator
Morgan's name would stand in his
tory as the father of the canal
Mr. Morgan said he bowed his
acknowledgements for the beautiful
compliment but he was not depending
upon his own Judgment in the mat
ter.
Mr.. Spooner said that a matter of
Infinite consequence to his mind was
the difference in the length of the two
routes, one 49 miles and the other 1S3
miles long. He contended that in the
operation of the Panama canal
sailing ships not only would
not be barred, as had been
suggested, but could pass through the
canal with tug in one day.
Mr.. Hanna's Argument.
Discussing the argument that sailing
vessels could not use the Panama route
on account of the "doldrums" Mr.
Hanna expressed the belief that sail
ing vessels would not use any canal
that might be constructed on account
of the heavy price of towing, particu-
larly through the Nicaragua canal
These charges, he said, would be so
heavy that the vessel would prefer to
go around the Horn.
In advocating the adoption of the
Nicaragua route, Senator Pettus said
the American people wanted and would
have an isthmian canal to he built,
owned and controlled by the United
states. There were. he said, many
men in the United States who control
vast sums of money of which neither
Croesus nor Solomon ever dreamed
who were opposed to any canal be-
cause it would decrease their incomes.

MALVAR CREATES SURPRISE.
shows How Complete WAS InsurEent
System In TaynbaH Province.

Manila, June 1S.-Maj. Cornelius
Gardener called the former insurgent
Malvar, who surrendered in Batangas
province last April, to testify to-day
before the board which is investigating
the charges brought by Maj. Gardener
concerning conditions in Tayabas prov
ince.
The testimony given by Gen. NAL
var has created considerable surprise.
He said that Tayabas province had
been one OF the best disciplined insur-
gent strongholds under his control, and
that each municipality in the province
obeyed him. He declared that he could
rinemen and $50 bolomen in
Tayabas province, and this
without counting upon the men he
could have raised in other provinces;
that the people in the towns of Taya-
bas obeyed we'll the orders issued by
the American authorities. he said, and
then. after the lapse Of a few days,
would notify the Americans that such
supplies had gone out. This Malvar
ordered the townspeople to do in order
that they might not be suspected by
the Americans of disloyalty. Each
body of insurgents in Tayabas was sup
ported by the town to which It be-
longed.
Gen. Malvar said that the presence
in any town of any native who was
truly friendly to the American cause
would have made 1t impossible for
an insurgent body to exist in
that town. To the best of his belief,
he said, the insurgents had candidates
in all municipal elections held in the
province.
The witness said that the insurrec-
ton in Tayabas and Batangas prov
inces had broken up as a result OF the
methods adopted by Gen. Franking
Bell in conducting the campaign
