rumors in circulation that the reciprocity
bill for the relief of Cuba was dead, said:
The philippine bill and the Cuban rect
procity measure must he passed by the re-
publican party. We not only owe it to our
selves, but to countries that are vitality
interested. The Cuban reciprocity meas
ure is not dead and confidently expect IL
to be enacted into legislation that will be
beneficial to the island. The republicans
from this on propose to meet the charges
OF the democrats with facts in relation TO
the Philippines and we'll aggressively de-
fend the men in the field"
General G. F. Henderson of Omaha is
expected to arrive in Washington tomorrow,

tions in that island in relation to sugar
General Manderson has been the attorney
for the beet sugar producers and is said
to have made very exhaustive study Of
that question. Chairman Platt of the sub
committee stated today that he had no
knowledge OF General Mandersons appear
ance before the committee, but thought
that IL the testimony was desirable that
undoubtedly Senator Teller would ask that
he be called in opposition to testimony
given by Mr.. Havemeyer.

| ing for this action. The senator will do
all he possibly can to bring this about, but
he is afraid that he has about exhausted
the number Of substations In Omaha, in
view OF his having secured twelve new sub
stations a few days ago.
Rosebud Bill Passes senate.
The bill to ratify the agreement with
the Sioux Indians Of Rosebud reservation
in South Dakota and throwing open a por-
tion of the reservation to homestead entry
passed the senate today. Senator Teller's
! ing a homestead under the provision of
the act shall be allowed to commute was
carried on yea and nay vote by 35 TO 12
After the adoption OF Senator Teller's
amendment, Senator Gamble had the bill
amended by striking out the price OF the
lands which in the original bill was fixed
/ at $3.50 per acre. In order that II might
conform to the amendment Of Senator Tel
| Ter. The bill has been In active debate
| for i've days and took on a very much wider
consideration than the senator's from South
Dakota had anticipated. II is somewhat
doubtful whether this feature Of the bill
| will be accepted by the house, but now
that II has passed the senate 1t will prop
erly be a subject for conference and the
| senators from South Dakota are hopeful
that something satisfactory to intending
settlers will come out Of the conference
should the bill in its present form be de-
fested in the house.

also submitted an oral argument when
the case was before the court. The out
come Of this important litigation has re-
vived the report that Secretary Hitchcock

ceeded by Judge Vandeventer. The latter

venters name under consideration for some
time In the event OF a vacancy In the in
terior portfolio aud II cabinet change is
made soon Vandeventer Is regarded as GER
