ON CUBA'S TARIFF, BILL
REPUBLICANS ARE AT SEA

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 3.-Relief
for Cuba In the form Of tariff concessions
has grown into a mountain of discord in
the Republican party and today the great
barrier between the factions is more pro-
nounced than ever because of several In
effective conferences held last night.
Yesterday II was reported that the beet
sugar Republicans, who are opposing tar
in reductions or reciprocity with Cuoa
could count only seven votes In the SEN
ate, where the Cuban reciprocity bill Is
soon to come up.
Shortly after noon, Senator Elkins, lead
er of the opponents, called his forces to-
gether to count noses and found that he
had is determined senators with him
They formed themselves into a band of
"bolters" to defeat President Roosevelt's
policy to give Cuba tariff reduction.
When he heard of this movement, the
president Immediately called the leaders
of the "bolters" to him and consumed
the entire afternoon in trying to win
them over. His failure to do this was un-
derstood when, last night, Senator o. H.
Plat, of Connecticut. leader of the reel
procity advocates. appointed commit
tee to confer with committee from the
boilers The president suggested this con-
ference in the hope that something might
be done to close up the dangerous breach
In his ranks. The conference was held at
the white house, but 1t is understood that
nothing was accomplished. Further con-
ferences will be held tonight, 1t is be-
lieved. The bill cannot pass with IS Repub-
licans opposed to 1t.
There is only one chance. politicians
say, for the breach to be closed The SEN
ate might let the reciprocity bill go over
this session and allow Cuba to rock along
as best she can. The beet sugar men
would then be satisfied and the Roosevelt
administration would not be burdened
with divided party in congress. This is
likely to be the solution.
