1t Is so rare for the Democrats
In either branch of Congress to
outgcneral the Republicans in the
political game that their success
In doing so by getting an amend
ment for the repeal of the differ
ential duty on sugar attached to
the Cuban reciprocity bill before
that measure passed the House
naturally caused sensation, which
is stlll-the topic of conversation
in congressional circles, and which
may play an important part in the
future Legislation of this session
OF Congress. The 81 republicans
who joined the democrats in up
setting a p.ogram endorsed by tie
administration and by caucus
and the party leaders in the
House rely upon the claim that
the repeal of the differential du
ty on sugar is Il blow at the sugar
trust to square them with their
constituents. 1t is the first time
that successful party revolt
against the Deed rules has been
carried out since those rules have
governed the House, ..and the eff.
feet will be watched with interest.
Whether it will make the commits
tee on rules less autocratlc in deal
ing with members of the House
remains to be seen; also whether
the Senate will allow the repeal of
the ditferential on sugar to stand.
The Presidents attitude toward
the 64 revolving Republicans will
also be watched with interest, as
it may have an important bearing
on political matters. Public sens
tlment which Is naturally opposed
to trusts is inclined to regard the
repeal of the differential duty on
refined sugar as good thing and
to hope that it will be allowed to
stand, regardless of opinion of the
manner in which it was passed.

Secretary Hay has transmitted
to Congress a formal protest of

the exslusion of the Chinese fro a

not likely to prevent the exclusion

There are several reasons wh,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. president
Mitchell has written his answer To
President Roosevelt, but he declines
to state what its nature is. The letter
was dictated before noon, and is now
in the mails on its way to Washing
ton. Mr.. Mitchell will not give out
the text of the letter, because it
would be discourteous to the presi-
dent, and whatever information the
communication contained must come
from Washington. In view of the
statement issued by President Mitch
ell at l o'clock, it r. hardly likely that
the proposition of Mr.. Roosevelt for
the men to go to work, and have the
condition in the coal regions investi-
gated afterward, was accepted.
