STEERING COMMITTEE
IN INFORMAL CAUCUS
TARIFF CONCESSIONS TO CUBA.
Republicans of Ways and Means
Committee to Confer.

conference OF the Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
will be held this morning for the purpose
of beginning the work of framing bill
making tariff concessions to Cuba, in &C
cordance with the recent understanding
that this should be done as soon as the
bill abolishing the internal revenue war
taxes should be passed.
1t is impossible to state what form the
proposed bill will take. as there are al
most as many propositions as there are
members Of the committee. II is the
opinion. however. of the best posted Re-
publicans in the Senate and in the House
of Representatives that no matter what
propositions may be adopted as a pre-
liminary agreement the ultimate result
will be the passage OF a bill based on the
principle of reciprocity: that is. pro-
vision for reducing the duties on Cuban
imports into the United States In return
for like concessions upon products sent
from the United States into Cuba.
1t is reasonably certain that any propo-
sition involving the payment of bounty
or a rebate will eventually be voted down,
and also that whatever arrangement is
made will be limited as to the time in
which IL shall remain in force.

NEGROES GETTING THEIR SHARE.
Commissioner Harris Testified Re
Earding Education Funds.

Commissioner Harris Testified Re
garding Education Funds.
The Senate Committee on Education
and Harbor yesterday heard Commission
er of Education Harris on the question
whether the colored race is receiving its
share of the $4,000 given to each State
by the Government for industrial and
agricultural education.
Commissioner Harris stated to the COM
mittee that the negroes are securing some
what more than their share of the appro-
priation in nearly all States.
1t was suggested to the committee a
short time ago that in the Southern States
the colored race is not getting its fair
share of this fund according to popula-
the committee, began the investigation
last week.
Commissioner Harris produced statis-
tics from all the Southern States. They
seemed to show that in only one State
does the colored man get less than his
pro rata share of the fund.
There is a special law in South Caro-
lima which divides the fund equally be-
tween the two races, although the blacks
outnumber the whites in the proportion,
of IS TO AZ.
In Georgia the entire fund is turned
over to the colored race by the State. In
MARYLAND the colored man secures a tribe
more than his share.
The committee will have other hear
ings on the same subject in the near
future.

REVIEWS
ATTACK ON Mckinley
Charges Late President With Bad Fahk-.Scozes Adminis-
t-aton Policy in The Philippines.

Is Uncle Sam to be hereafter known as
Butcher Weyler III"
Referring to what is known in the is
lands as the water cure torture" Mr..
Wellington declared that that manner of
disarming the people was lasting shame
and that when such a practice was resort
ed to it was time to call a halt, pull
down the flag. and make peace.
In championing the cause of the Fill
pinos Mr.. Wellington compared their
struggle and its result as a parallel to
that of the American forefathers.
In recounting the glorious naval battle
in the West Indian waters Mr.. Yelling
tons high praise of Admiral SchIey as
the commander and victor of the great
est battle history ever recorded brought
forth rcpressed applause from the CALLER
les. He declared that Admiral Schley had
not received his due need Of praise and
credit, but that instead he was beset upon
all sides in official circles with attempts
to besmirch his character.
Mr.. Wellington stated that in his be-
lief the Government has no right to pass
ton on the Philippines. In his reference
to Cuba he said that the island is no
ireer now than it was two years ago, ana
laid the blame on the ''monopolies which
wished to bleed the island under tho
cloak of a military rule.
Mr.. Wellington said that the Republican
party is deceiving itself, 1.-THE worst form
of deception" in its entire colonial
policy.

Foraker Amendment to the
Philippines Tariff Bill
Discussed.
COMPROMISE MEASURE LIKELY
Arguments for IS Per Cent
Cut to Be Considered.
DIVISION OF OPINION
Probable Tint Amendment Will BE
introduced. Cutting DingIey Sched-
ule in Half ON Goods Imported
From Philippines.

An informal caucus OF the steering
OF the Senate was held yesterday over
the question OF the position to be taken
regarding the Foraker amendment to the
Philippine tariff bill.
This amendment was proposed by Sen
ator Foraker a week ago. 1t WAS some
thing of surprise to the Republicans
and Democrats alike. Ii proposes to cut
down the tariff to be charged on goods
imported from the Philippines into tho
United States to % per cent of the rate
on foreign goods coming into this coun-
try. The bill as it stands as present
makes a reduction of only % per cent
in the tariff rate on Philippine goods.
Decision of Caucus.
The caucus failed to reach the determi-
nation either to support or oppose the
Foraker amendment. 1t was concluded
to suspend judgment in the matter until
Mr.. Foraker's arguments in support of
the measure on the floor of the Senate
can be heard.
The present bill represents the views
OF the Secretary OF War. Senator For
aker does not believe that such a small
reduction will be of much if any, benefit
to the FiIipinos. and it is understood that
many communications have been received
from the business interests OF the islands
taking his view of the matter.
Opinion Divided.
Opinion is much divided in the Senate
on the question. 1t is said that if Mr..
Foraker would consent to the 80 per cent
rate he could have the support of his
party without further trouble, but that
he is determined to secure the full 70 per
cent reduction il possible.
He will make a speech in favor of his
plan. therefore, and an amendment to his
amendment will in all proba bility then be
introduced and passed.
Positions of Democrats.
The Democrats have decided not to vote
for the amendment, which. while it is
nearer their idea of free trade than the
bill, is still against their declared prin-
ciple that the United States has no right
to impose any tariff on trade between
the two countries.
The decision was reached in the SEN
ale yesterday to begin voting on the bill
On next Monday at o'clock.
The Washington times. (Washington [D.C.]) 1901-1902, 1902-02-19

Senator Wellington yesterday made a
speech against the administration policy
in the Philippines and in Cuba. taking as
his text the Philippine tariff bill. He an
nounced his opposition to the bill, and
stated that he fayors the plan of the
Democratic minority. stated in their re-
cent report on the bill.
He made violent attack on the admin
istration, and reiterated his accusation
against the late President Mckinley, that
he broke faith with him as to the Treaty
OF Paris.
Mr.. Wellington charged that when mis-
vote was sought by President Mckinley
upon the treaty he was promised, in re-
Spouse to his firm demand during that
conference, that there would be no per-
manent occupation by the United States
of the Philippines.
WAS that promise kept" the Senator
asked "No, not in any particular" he
continued.
In deaouncing the concentration camps
in the Philippines. Mr.. Wellington
charged that the United States today finds
itself in the same position as Spain oc-
cupied in reference TO Cuba when this
country declared war against the barbar-
tiles of Weyler.
How in the name of God was this
method seized upon" he shouted. A
method that brought down the condemna-
tion of civilization then, as it does now.

GEN. HARRIBS ON mo
SEAT NO FARE Bill"
Vice President of Traction
Company IS Amused.
SAYS II VIII Never Amount to Any
thing. rs the Public Would Not
Endure Waiting for Cars.

The no-seat-no-fa bill which was in
t-oduced by Mr.. Foster in the House yes
terday. and later referred to the Senate
District Committee. is viewed by the car
companies as an absurdity. 1t seems that
a request has been rendered for a bill to
prohibit the collection OF any fare from
passengers who cannot secure seats on
the street cars.
General Harrics. vice president of the
Washington Traction Company. laughed
at the idea of such a regulation.
Question for Public to Decide.
NO" said General Harries, cit will
never amount TO anything. That subject
has been brought UP too many times be-
fore. You see, the public would not stand
such a restriction. = police regulation
would have to be made and enforced, pro-
hibiting persons from getting on cars in
which there were no vacant seats. This
would necessitate persons who wished TO
take passage waiting for car after car
to come and pass them before u seat
could be secured, and they would not en-
dure it."
General Harries went on TO explain the
faults in such an arrangement and the
impossibilities of its being made. He
stated further that the Metropolitan Car
Company would take an entirely neutral
stand in the matter. and that it was ex
clusively question for the public to de-
eide.
In conclusion. General Harries said:
For example. ask any American who has
been TO Paris about the car system of
that city. Ask him what made him mad
der than anything which he saw in the
French capital. IL / am not mistaken
that gentleman will say that 1t was the
police regulation prohibiting persons TO
board cars in which there we're no va
calt seats"

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. IS.-Repre-

James S. Barcus by vote of nearly two
to one on the first ballot. The big dis
crepancy between the votes of the two
candidates caused surprise to most per-
sons. as Barcus' active campaign of two
years, assisted by number of the shrewd
Republican managers of the district had
led to the belief that he would make a
better showing, at least in the first ballot
Barcus' total vote was 37k, Of which
80 were cast by delegates from this his

had picked up only ~ votes, notwith-
