cluding with an eloquent appeal for re-
ciprocal relations with Cuba. He said
that while it was possible that some
farmers now engaged in the produc-
tion OF sugar beets might find that in
dustry less profitable he was confident
that an increased demand for bread
stuffs, meat and provisions would more
than make up to them whatever loss
they might sustain, if there was any
at all. He dWelt at considerable length
on the commercial advantages which
had been obtained under the reciproci-
ty provisions of the Mckinley law, but
noted the fact that as sugar was no
longer on the free list it was impossi.
BILE for the president, under the pro-
visions of the Dingley bill, to secure as
great concessions as were then obtain
able. Speaking of reciprocity with
Cuba, the Connecticutt members of
congress have received a protest from
the New England Tobacco Growers
Association, against lowering the tariff
on tobacco coming into this country
from Cuba or any other country.
Senator Hoar introduced in the SEN
ate this week resolution calling for
an Investigation, by committee, Of
the status Of affairs in the Philippines
and on tuesday made characteristic
address on the subject. He desired
that the investigation be made by a
special committee but on the protest
from Senator Lodge consented tnat it
be referred to the Philippines com.
mittee. The senator voiced the rum
ors of friction between the civil COM
mission and the military authorities
and it is regarded as probable that, as
result of the senator's resolution,
Governor Taft will be asked to appear
before Senator Lodges committee and
explain the condition of affairs. 1t is
also possible that a sub committee will
be sent to the Philippines as soon as
congress adjourns to investigate the
progress made by the representatives
of this government in establishing
peace and prosperity throughout these
islands.
Senator Morgan told me yesterday
that his committee had finished with
NJ. Lampere, the repre- sentative of the
Panama Canal Company in Washing
ton, and was prepared to report to the
senate. The senator has not modified
his views in regard to the two routes
but the new offer of the French COM
pany has resulted in large disaffec-
tion by the other members of the COM
mittee. On motion Of Senator Mitch
ell the committee has arranged for
another meeting tomorrow morning
and further discussion of the feasibili-
ty Panama route will follow. A poll
Of the senate yesterday revealed the
fact that 40 senators favored further
consideration of the Panama route and
81 would vote for the Nicaraguan route,

a % per cent reduction" The reve-
nue. desired by the Taft commission
will then be assured by an export duty
on the articles recommended by the
commission and provision will be in
cOrpOrated in the measure stipulating
that on those goods which have paid
an export duty the tariff collected on
this side will be only sufficient to
make the total duty equal the rates
provided for goods on which no export
duty is charged. By permittong no
concessions to the United States the
open door policy will be maintained.
On the subject of reciprocity with
Cuba the senator refused to express
himself, saying that it was matter
not within the province of his commit
tee. "But you are regarded as very
influential factor in that discussion
and as vOicing the sentiments of the
white house, as we'll" l said. "You
cannot hatter me into an expression on
that subject he replied. When asked
as to the likelihood of some provision
for reciprocal relations with Cuba be-
ing attached to the bill his committee
would report, he said: "While have
heard some rumor of that know moth
ing about it. You are probably in a
position to know as much about that
as l."
After leaving Senator Lodge called
upon Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, and
found the senator enthusiastic on the
commercial possibilities of the Philip
pine trade for his section of the coun-
try. II am not selfish in my efforts"
said the senator. 81 am working for
the good Of my entire section Of the
country. We can sell large quantities
of agricultural products, notably wheat
and -four and lumber to the islands.
They have Jorge forests, it is true, but
it will take years to develop facilities
for getting out the lumber and in the
meantime we wish to supply their
needs. have offered three amend
ments to the bill prepared by the house
The first two provide a fifty per cent
reduction on goods coming from the
Philippines and on goods entering
their ports and the third provides for
the abolition Of the tonnage tax on
vessels employed in the trade. The
large amount Of mail 1 am receiving
daily, endorsing my course, assures me
that / am making no mistake and that
the adoption of these amendments will
prove Of the greatest benefit to the
Pacific coast" Senator Mitchell, ac-
companied by Representatives Tongue
and Moody, recently CALLED on the
president and explained their position,
but Mr.. Mitchell did not feel at liber-
ty to disclose the purport Of the pres-
dents replies. Senator Mitchell
frankly admitted that he favored free
trade with the islands, at least on
those products which were produced
on the Pacific coast, but said that as
matter of expediency he has asked for
but SO per cent reduction.

TALMAGE IS DEAD
Noted Divine Succumbs to In.
Illumination Of Brain.
HAS BEEN LONG IN POOR HfAlTH


A Washington dispatch says: Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage, the noted Presby-
terrain divine. died at 3 o'clock Satur-
day night at his residence in this city.
IL has been evident for some days
that there was no hope of recovery,
and the attending physicians SO in
formed the family. The patient grad
ually grew weaker until life passed
away so quietly that wen the mem
bers of the family. all Ct whom were
watching at the bedside. hardly knew
that he had gone. The immediate
cause of death was inflammation of the
brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
when he started away from Washing
ton for Mexico for n vacation n
rest six weeks ago. He was then suf-
fering from influenza and serious ca
tarrhal condition. Since his return to
Washington some time ago he has been
quite i'll. Until Thursday. however,
fears for his death were not enter
tanned. The last rational words uttered
by DR.. Talmage were on the day pre-
ceding the marriage of his daughter,
when he said: "Of course, | know you.
MAUI. since tnen ne ndu Deeu uutOH-
sciouS.
At DR.. Talmage's bedside, besides his
wife, were these members of his fam
lily: Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage, Chi
cago; Mrs. Warren G. Smith. Brook
Ign; Mrs. Daniel Mangam, Brooklyn;
Mrs. Allen T.. Donnau, Richmond; Mrs.
Clarence Wycoff and Miss Talmage,
Washington.
While arrangements for the funeral
have not been finally completed. the
family have about decided to have the
remains taken to the Church of the
Covenant here on Tuesday. where SER
vices will be held. The body will then
be conveyed to Brooklyn, where in
terment will be made in the family
plot in Greenwood cemetery.
Silent tribute to the memory of DR..
Talmage was paid Sunday by thou
sands of people who walked past the
residence on Massachusetts avenue,
where the visit of death was marked
by a cluster of yiolets tied with q
streamer of black hanging at the right
entrance.
Many intimate friends, including the
pastors OF most of the Presbyterian
churches of the city, were among those
who called at the house.
Messages of sympathy from nearly
every state In the union. and from
England. Russia and other European
countries, came to the family during
the day.
