Solid South 1t was undeniably true, the
speaker said. that the political attitude of
the Southern people toward the govern
ment was directly ascribable to the swift
bestowal by the reconstruction acts of un-
limited manhood suffrage on the members
of the African race, which, he asserted,
was no part Of Lincoln's plan for the resto-
ration of the Union. The solution of the
race problem, said Judge Speer, would be
found i'm the enactment of impartial laws
for white and black men alike, which would
admit to the franchise the intelligent, the
upright and the responsible of both races
and exclude the venal, the ignorant and

Of Senator Allison who is chairman OF
the Republican caucus and Of the Re
publican steering committee, Senator
Hale presided. The result of the meet
IN" may BE- summed UP as follows:
There will be an early meeting of the
Senate committee on relations with Cuba
to take up the question on the hliS Of the
House bill which is now before the COM
mittee; the Republican members Of the
committee will act together in formulat-
ing substitute for the House bill, and
none Of them are to cooperate with the
Democratic members Of the committee;
the bill thus agreed ufon by the Repub-
hcan members to be submitted to a Re
publican caucus Of the Seuate and made
a party measure.
With the exception of Senator SpOoncr
all the Republican members of the Cuban
committee attended today's meeting and
it is understood tacitiy or openly gave
their adherence to the program. The
leaders of the movement express conf
denca that it will be possible TO report

conference also extends 10 the point of
the passage of the bill by the Senate.

1t was generally agreed that most of

fact was brought out that there are
some Republican senators who are in
clined to oppose the legislation for other
seasons.
The concensus of opinion seemed to be
that a bill granting not to exceed % per
cent. should be reported by the commit
tee and there was general unanimity as
to the advisabiity of eliminating the

tial duty on refined sugar.

TIE NAVAL BILL
Calls fer Two Battleahips, Two cruis-

Washington, Ap"I 22.-Tho House

ALL STAlD OUT.
Washington Mill Weavers at Lawrence
Fulfil Their Threats.

Lawrence, Mass, April 22.-The at
tempt to get the Washington mlil
weavers to strike has apparently sue
ceeded at last. Practically all of the
weavers in the mill stayed out, Tues
day morning, only so of the 800 weav-
ers reporting for work, it is said.
This move is the direct result Of the
refusal of the mill management to
grant the request of the German weav-
an advance Of 20 per cent. and the
abolition OF the premium system.
Sympathy with the Ofpeyville and
Providence strikers also Influenced the
weavers. The strikers geld a mass
meeting in Music hall, Tuesday morn
ing, at which plans for the future were
discussed. The meeting was an en-
thusiastic one.
1t is probable that all the weavers
will now demand a 20 per cent. in
crease.
The Washington mills form the larf
est establishment in the American
Wooden Company and before the for
nation Of the combine were managed
by VIM. NJ. Wood,-the present treas
urer Of the American Company. They
employ 5000 or more operatives and are
the 18th plant to be seriously affected
by the strike of the weavers. 1t is
stated that next to the influences from
Olneyville the women WeaverS have
been the strongest factor in bringing
about a partial suspension of work in
the weave rooms. Between 200 and 800
of the weavers are women.
According to some Of the foremost
supporters of the stroke wages have
been somewhat lower at Washington
mills than at Olneyville, but in a meas
ure this was offset by the premium
system at least for weavers who are
large producers.
When a certain yardage is woven by
a weaver in month a premium of
per cent. of paid to the weaver. For
a certain greater yardage premium
of 10 per cent. is paid. This system
has not been satisfactory. Many OF
the weavers preferred to have higher
scale without the premiums. Therefore
the German weavers demands an in
crease of 20 per cent. in the scale OF
wages and discOntinuance of the
premiums.
