Washington. July 1.-The congress which
has just adjourned has very explicitly ex-
pressed It's opinion OF the president, who Is
OF the same political faith as a majority OF
the senate and house, by refusing TO listen
TO him or to enact into laws the legislation
which was recommended by him. Here
are some OF the acts which received the
sanction of Mr.. Roosevelt and which the
republican congressman have turned down:
Reciprocity with Cuba.
Government supervision of trusts.
law requiring publicity Of affairs of
trusts.
Legislation against anarchy.
Ship subsidy.
militia law.
general stan for the army.
Extension Of tho civil service for the do
nestle and insular service.
A department of commerce,
reorganization OF the consular service.
That some OF these recommendations
were not to the benefit OF the country Is
ssseseeseaeeesee
Charles W. Rush at Commerce, The two
Texas senators objected to both men ana
the senate refused TO CONFIRM their nomina-
ton. Harvey was opposed because he was
said to be Objectionable to bis patrons
and the charge against Harbert was that
he had lived in Commerce for only short
time.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. INCIDENT.
Beyond the usual amount Of discussion,
there has been no aftermath OF the con-
troversy between Senator's Bailey and Bev-
eridge yesterday Senator Spooner and
number of others today endeavored to bring
the Texas senator around to the point of
shaking hands with Beveridge and thus end
ing the whole matter, but Mr.. Bailey de-
clined to dignity the AFFAIR by any such
action The fact that Beveridge did not
resent Senator Bailey's action OF yesterday
and that he did not attempt to defend him
seif and that after the thing was over he
said he harbored no sentiment against the
Texan shows pretty conclusively his po-
sition In the premises. Those who may
think the statements made by B7ve7idse
during the debate on the Scott-Beilinberg
matter did not contain sufficient provoca-
tion for Bailey's subsequent action would
probably change their opinions could they
have on opportunity 70 see for themselves
thN particularly offensive manner Of the
mo annn to which cold type can not begin

some weeks ago Senator Teller told Bever-
dge, during debate, that he WIS imperti-

already been made 10 name four OF the

Mr.. Ball also called at the war depart
ment during the day and asked regarding

DRAG DEBATE ON RECIPROCITY
Enemies of Cuban Bill seek TO Pro-
long Its stay in the
House.

WASHINGTON. April 14.-Interest in the
Cuban reciprocity debate in the house
seems to be waning, judging by the attend
ance on the floor today, but the earnestness
Of the speeches on both sides OF the ques-
ton increase rather than decrease in in
tensity.
That the opponents Of the bill are de-
termined to prolong the struggle as much
as possible was made manifest in the
record.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana. opposd Cuban
annexation, on the ground that It would
threaten the American wage Garner. The
conference on the postofhce appropriation
bill was adopted early in the day, after
some criticism Of the pneumatic tube propo-
sition.
Bills were passed to provide for a modi-
hcation Of the adopted project for the i'm
provement of Everett Harbor. Washington;
to authorize the supervisors Of Santa Cruz
county, Ariz.; to issue bonds In the sum
of $35, 900, for the erection OF a courthouse
and jail; to make the act Of February %,
1891, relative to the selection Of Indemnity
sehool lands. applicable to Utah.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole and resumed the debate upon the
| Cuban reciprocity bill. The first speaker,
| Mr.. Mccall OF Massachusetts,, a member
Of the ways and means committee, made an
earnest speech in favor Of the reciprocity
bill. The assertion that the bill would iniure
the beet sugar industry Of this country
Omaha daily bee., 1902-04-15

he said. rested upon no sound foundation.
Mr.. Robertson Of Louisiana, also a mem
Der OF the ways and means committee, OPP
posed the bill in q vigorous speech. He
commended that the United states would
reap practically nothing from o reciprocity
agreement with Cuba.
Moreover. Mr.. Robertson argued that the
American consumer would secure no re-
duction on his sugar as a result Of the pro-
posed legislation. The sugar trust, he de-
clared would be the chief beneficiary. So
far as Louisiana was concerned, her sugar
interests, he asserted. asked nothing to
which they were not entitled under the
tenets Of every party.
Mr.. Stevens Of Minnesota, opposed the
bill. HI declared thai those who we're
pressing congress TO give relief to Cuba
we're mainly men who had gone into the
island in the hope Of amsssins fortunes.
As a showing that there was no distress
In Cuba, he declared that on a recent visit
to Cuba, he found there were in the banks
Of Cienfuegos. a city Of $4,000. over $12, 200,
900 OF deposits.
Mr.. Stevens dubbed the threat of annexa-
ton a "bogie man" As a republican he
favored reciprocity. and II there we're any
genuine reciprocity in this bill he would
support 1t.
A deficiency bill carrying $4,000 was
passed.

SOUNDS LIKE FICTION
But Is Simply Honest Dealing.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kleffner. widow Of Frank
Kleffner, ex-chief. of fire department. who
died nine years ago, gets hve hundred dol
lars that she did not know was due her.
On January s. 1874, Mr.. Frank Klefner
took a policy with the Germania Life In
suranee Company Of New York. He made
only a few payments and let the policy
lapse. After his death Mrs. Kleffner, being
under the impression that the policy was
void, destroyed same together with all the
receipts. Last February the company
opened an once here and forwarded the list
Of Omaha polieyholders to their manager.
Jos. B.. Clarke. Mr.. Clarke set about to
locate the ones who bad allowed their
policies to lapse and upon investigation
found that Mr.. Kleffner had been dead for
several years, He at once notified the
widow. that under the conditions OF the
policy she could furnish proof OF her hus-
bands death and get $500. Mrs. Klehner
had no trouble in producing ths proofs.
therefore she got a check for the amount
within a very few days. She necessarily
feels very grateful TO Manager Clarke and
the company as neither she or Mr.. Klenner
had regarded the policy as being worth any
thing after having ceased to pay the
premiums.

CONTROL OF ROAD A SECRET
Bcputed Owners of Louisville a Nash
wife PersistcntIy Refuse TO
Talk on Subject.

NEW YORK, April 14.--Countless rumors
dealing with the reported change Of con
troll Of the Louisville & Nashville road were
current today. but nothing ia the way OF
official news was obtainable.
The several conferences Of last Saturday
including that between John ". Gates and
George Perkins at the Offices Of J. p. Nor
gan & Co. are regarded with more than
a little significance by students Of the sit
uation. Mr.. Gates had another talk with
Mr.. Perkins today and soon after President
Spencer of the Southern railway visited
the Morgan banking house.
John w. Gates and his associates are
reported to own or control more than 300,
900 shares Of Louisville, OF which the total
share capital is 500. 600 shares. Some of
this is on contracts for delivery within the
next three weeks, 1t is not doubted that
the Louisville 4 Nashville Southern rail-
way situation was thoroughly discussed at
the meeting between Messrs. Perkins and
Gates, but with what result may not be
known for some days. Conservative opin-
ion inclines to the belief, however, tina
the Southern interests will be found domi-
nant in Louisville.
The strength Of Illinois Central during
today's early session of the stock market
gave rise in some quarters to the belief
that the road would be found in control Of
Louisville & Nashville!
The best Information fails to bear this
out. One Of the afternoon reports had it
that Morgan & Co. had been asked to take
the Louisville matter in hand and effect
a settlement II the terms of the Gates fac
ton we're not too onerous. On this and all
other matters all hands maintained reserve,
MIR. Perkins said that under no circum-
stances would he talk about the matter
and MIR. Gates declared that Louisville was
the one thing he must decline to discuss
ut has been said, Mr.. Gates, that you
and your friends control more than 300, o0C
shares OF Louisville"
